Mice Behavioral Phenotype Changes after Administration of Anani (Symphonia globulifera, Clusiaceae), an Alternative Latin American and African Medicine. [PDF]
Pharmacogn Mag, 2017 Anani, (Symphonia globulifera, Clusiaceae), known as chewstick, is a traditional plant occurring in Africa and in Central and South Americas that is used against parasites and microorganisms. Although its use is popular in some of these countries, there is a lack of information related to its influence over behavioral phenotype (BP).The objective of ...

Symphonia globulifera, a Widespread Source of Complex Metabolites with Potent Biological Activities [PDF]
Planta Medica, 2015 Symphonia globulifera has been widely used in traditional medicine and has therefore been subjected to several phytochemical studies in the American and African continents. Interestingly, some disparities have been observed concerning its metabolic profile. Several phytochemical studies of S.

The ancient tropical rainforest tree Symphonia globulifera L. f. (Clusiaceae) was not restricted to postulated Pleistocene refugia in Atlantic Equatorial Africa. [PDF]
Heredity (Edinb), 2013 Understanding the history of forests and their species' demographic responses to past disturbances is important for predicting impacts of future environmental changes. Tropical rainforests of the Guineo-Congolian region in Central Africa are believed to have survived the Pleistocene glacial periods in a few major refugia, essentially centred on ...

Limited pollen dispersal and biparental inbreeding in Symphonia globulifera in French Guiana [PDF]
Heredity, 2004 In this paper, we report a study of the mating system and gene flow of Symphonia globulifera, a hermaphroditic, mainly bird-pollinated tree species with a large geographic distribution in the tropical Americas and Africa. Using three microsatellites, we analysed 534 seeds of 28 open pollinated families and 164 adults at the experimental site 'Paracou ...

Why eat flowers? Symphonia globulifera flowers provide a fatty resource for red-tailed monkeys [PDF]
Folia Primatologica, 2022 Abstract Flowers are ubiquitous in primate environments, yet their nutritional advantages are underexamined. Symphonia globulifera is a widely distributed tree exploited by a variety of animals in Africa and the Americas. We collected S. globulifera

De novo assembled nuclear, chloroplast, and mitochondrial genomes show high intraspecific variation in the tropical rainforest species Symphonia globulifera. [PDF]
G3 (Bethesda)Abstract Symphonia globulifera (Clusiaceae) has emerged as a model organism in tropical forest ecology and evolution due to its significant ecological role and complex biogeographical history. Originating from Africa, this species has independently colonized Caribbean, Central, and South America three times, becoming a key component ...

Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2021., 2021 Abstract Large‐seeded, animal‐dispersed (LSAD) trees include some of the most valuable and threatened species in the tropics, but they are chronically underrepresented in regenerating forests. Toucans disperse many LSAD species, so attracting toucans to regenerating forests should help re‐establish more diverse tree communities.
