Discreet but diverse and specific: Determining plant‐herbivore interactions across a species‐rich plant family in a tropical rain forest

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2025.
We conducted a year‐long study in Ecuador's Yasuní National Park, focusing on nine understory Annonaceae species to investigate herbivory patterns and herbivore‐host associations. Our findings revealed significant temporal fluctuations in leaf damage, with Anaxagorea brevipes and Unonopsis veneficiorum experiencing higher herbivore pressure, and ...

Vertebrate diversity and biomass along a recovery gradient in a lowland tropical forest

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2025.
Deforestation of tropical forests has resulted in large areas of secondary forests with the potential for biodiversity to re‐establish to levels usually found in old‐growth forests. This study shows that diversity and biomass of mammals and birds in regenerating forests can recover to old‐growth levels within a relatively short time.

The role of wild palms in agroforestry systems in the Neotropics: A review

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 2200-2227, December 2024.
Abstract Wild palms are among the most important plants in the Neotropics due to their wide distribution, species richness and cultural relevance for humans. In addition to their presence in forests, these plants also occur in anthropogenic systems throughout their range of distribution, but their role in these systems is often overlooked.

Stable isotope analysis indicates partial mycoheterotrophy in arbuscular mycorrhizal woody seedlings in tropical forests

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 38, Issue 12, Page 2720-2733, December 2024.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Chlorophyllous plants exhibiting partial mycoheterotrophy obtain carbon through mycorrhizal interactions in addition to photosynthesis. In arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) plants, the Paris‐morphotype (i.e.

Evaluating plant lineage losses and gains in temperate forest understories: a phylogenetic perspective on climate change and nitrogen deposition

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 241, Issue 5, Page 2287-2299, March 2024.
Summary Global change has accelerated local species extinctions and colonizations, often resulting in losses and gains of evolutionary lineages with unique features. Do these losses and gains occur randomly across the phylogeny? We quantified: temporal changes in plant phylogenetic diversity (PD); and the phylogenetic relatedness (PR) of lost and ...
