Local canopy cover, shade tree identity and landscape tree cover shape leaf‐cutter ant nest density and herbivory in cacao agroforestry systems

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
Our findings provide practical guidance for agroforestry management by demonstrating that intercropping with selected species can mitigate damage from leaf‐cutter ants in cacao agroforests. At the landscape scale, high tree cover was associated with low herbivory rates, emphasising the need to maintain or restore forested habitats.

Strong genetic differentiation but limited niche partitioning in a sympatric species pair separated by an allochronic reproductive barrier

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.
Sympatric sister species demonstrate substantial geographic and host overlap, with ecological analyses only finding subtle microecological variation in habitat use. Molecular analyses reveal clear genetic differentiation with no evidence of hybridization, suggesting strong reproductive isolation between species. Differences in time‐of‐day mating appear

Chemical Composition and Phytochemical Screening of Spondias mombin Leaves

, 2022
The phytoconstituents, proximate and mineral assessments of Spondias mombin leaves were studied. Standard techniques were used to determine the proximate and phytochemicals, and an air acetylene flame-equipped Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer was used to assess the mineral constituents.

Patterns of Tree Species Abundance and Diversity on Urban Sidewalks in Macapá, Amapá, Brazil

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
This study presents the first systematic inventory of street trees in Macapá, Northeastern Brazilian Amazon. Results reveal a dominance of exotic and fruit‐bearing species, low tree density, and a replacement of large canopy trees by smaller ones, indicating potential losses in ecosystem services and the need for more biodiversity‐focused afforestation

Spondias mombin, a potential bioindicator of potassium fluoride pollution

Ecological Indicators, 2020
Abstract Ecological contamination by air pollutants is a worldwide problem. Fluoride-based compounds are released in large proportions into the atmosphere, soil and water from various industrial sources. These compounds are more phytotoxic to various plants than are other pollutants. The objective of this work was to determine the effects of fluoride
