Characterization and isolation of DNA microsatellite primers for the tropical tree, Symphonia globulifera Linn. f. [PDF]

Molecular Ecology Notes, 2005
AbstractFive highly polimorphic microsatellite markers for Symphonia globulifera were developed from enriched repeat libraries screened for microsatellite repeats. An average of 5.8 alleles per locus and expected heterozygosity ranging from 0.649 to 0.806 were found in a sample of 12 S.

Plant biodiversity, vegetation structure and provisioning services in rainforest, traditional and industrial oil palm cultivation systems in Liberia, West Africa

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 4, Page 1165-1179, July 2025.
Oil palm is native to the west African forest, where industrial production is expanding. We assessed differences in plant biodiversity, vegetation structure and provisioning services across 54 forest, community agriculture and oil palm plots in Sinoe County, Liberia.

The Use of Medicinal Plants in the Riverside Community of the Mazagão River in the Brazilian Amazon, Amapá, Brazil: Ethnobotanical and Ethnopharmacological Studies

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
The inhabitants of the floodplain of the Mazagão River in the State of Amapá in the Brazilian Amazon have inherited from indigenous African and Cabocla cultures indications for the use and forms of preparation of medicinal plants to cure diseases of the body and spirit. This study aimed to perform an ethnopharmacological survey of medicinal plants used

Scaling leaf respiration with nitrogen and phosphorus in tropical forests across two continents

New Phytologist, Volume 214, Issue 3, Page 1064-1077, May 2017., 2017
Summary Leaf dark respiration (Rdark) represents an important component controlling the carbon balance in tropical forests. Here, we test how nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) affect Rdark and its relationship with photosynthesis using three widely separated tropical forests which differ in soil fertility.

Ecohydrological Response of a Tropical Peatland to Rainfall Changes Driven by Intertropical Convergence Zone Variability

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 621-628, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Tropical peatlands are globally significant carbon stores, increasingly threatened by human activities and climate change. However, their ecohydrological responses to shifting water availability remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigate the connections between climate change, hydrology and vegetation dynamics in a coastal ...

How can we apply decision‐making theories to wild animal behavior? Predictions arising from dual process theory and Bayesian decision theory

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 1, January 2025.
The theoretical amount of mental effort an animal should exert depending on how routine a situation is, how accurately a cue or signal predicts an outcome, or how computationally complex a problem is. Abstract Our understanding of decision‐making processes and cognitive biases is ever increasing, thanks to an accumulation of testable models and a large

Comparative metabolomic study between African and Amazonian Symphonia globulifera by tandem LC–HRMS

Phytochemistry Letters, 2017
Abstract According to the literature, the phytochemistry of Symphonia globulifera (Clusiacea) seems to be highly correlated to the local ecosystem. None of the already isolated 31 metabolites from Africa were common with the 13 isolated in French Guiana.

Influence of flooding variability on the development of an Amazonian peatland

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 309-326, February 2024.
ABSTRACT Peat in the Pastaza–Marañón Foreland Basin (PMFB), northern Peru, forms beneath open wetlands, palm swamps, pole forests and seasonally flooded forests. These vegetation communities may represent different successional stages of peatlands, but the spatiotemporal patterns of peatland development in Amazonia are still poorly understood.
