Variation in tolerance to heterospecific pollen from a non‐native congener depends on co‐existence history of maternal and paternal source populations

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Plants in sympatric populations with congeners may have evolved tolerance to the negative effects of heterospecific pollen (HP) through selection on female or male reproductive traits. If so, then the degree of HP tolerance may vary depending on the co‐existence history of the maternal and paternal plant source populations.

Do the rubber plantations in tropical China act as large carbon sinks?

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2014
The regrowth of tropical secondary forests and plantations can not offset the carbon release caused by tropical deforestation, consequently determining net carbon losses on tropical lands.

Which climate indices are relevant for predicting the response of tropical forests to future climate scenarios ? [PDF]

, 2012
Climate models predict a range of changes in the amazonian region, including increased frequency of extreme climatic events, increased average temperatures, increased atmospheric CO2 and reduced rainfall intensity.

Environmentally Friendly Nanofiber Cellulose From Durian Rinds: A Sustainable Alternative Biomass Resource

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A novel, efficient, and eco‐friendly sustainable process has been developed for the extraction of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) from durian rinds. The method utilizes low‐molecular‐weight 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine‐1‐oxyl (TEMPO) as an oxidation agent, in conjunction with sonication treatment, resulting in a significant reduction of processing

Monitoring Canopy Height in the Hainan Tropical Rainforest Using Machine Learning and Multi-Modal Data Fusion

Remote Sensing
Biomass carbon sequestration and sink capacities of tropical rainforests are vital for addressing climate change. However, canopy height must be accurately estimated to determine carbon sink potential and implement effective forest management.

Aboveground carbon loss in natural and managed tropical forests from 2000 to 2012

Environmental Research Letters, 2015
Tropical forests provide global climate regulation ecosystem services and their clearing is a significant source of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and resultant radiative forcing of climate change.

DNA metabarcoding reveals greater plant diversity than morphological seed analysis of bird feces

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Fruit‐eating birds drive seed dispersal in recovering tropical ecosystems, shaping forest regeneration. Molecular techniques, such as DNA metabarcoding, enable diet analysis from feces and can provide complementary frugivory data where dispersal is infrequent, as well as aid in seed identification in hyper‐diverse regions lacking ...

Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.
