The overlooked biodiversity of flower-visiting invertebrates. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Estimates suggest that perhaps 40% of all invertebrate species are found in tropical rainforest canopies. Extrapolations of total diversity and food web analyses have been based almost exclusively on species inhabiting the foliage, under the assumption ...

Parasitic Plant–Host Interactions: Molecular Mechanisms and Agricultural Resistance Strategies
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Parasitic plants devastate global agriculture through sophisticated molecular interactions with host crops. This review synthesizes current understanding of parasitic plant‐host interactions, from strigolactone‐mediated germination and haustorium formation to host defense mechanisms.

CpDNA-based species identification and phylogeography: application to a complex of African tropical tree species [PDF]
, 2010 Despite their importance as a hotspot of biodiversity, the history of the African tropical lowland rainforests is poorly known. In particular the respective influence of past climatic factors, environmental heterogeneity and physical barriers on the ...

The Role of Certifications in Improving Household Food Security Among Peruvian Farmers
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Achieving global food security requires sustainable transformations in agri‐food systems. Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS) such as Organic and Fairtrade aim to internalize certain social and environmental costs while promoting more equitable value distribution, improved market access, and sustainable production practices.
