Recruitment in Tropical Tree Species: Revealing Complex Spatial Patterns
The American Naturalist, 2009 Seed dispersal should leave a signature on the spatial distribution of recruits that can be quantified using sophisticated techniques of spatial pattern analysis. Here we study spatial patterns of five frugivore-dispersed tropical tree species at the Barro Colorado Island forest, Panama, to describe detailed properties of the spatial patterns of ...

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Symbioses between lichen‐forming fungi and brown algae (phaeophytes) are extremely rare. We investigated the interactions between the marine fungus Collemopsidium pelvetiae and its two photosynthetic partners, the brown alga Pelvetia canaliculata and a cyanobacterial symbiont to address questions on symbiosis biology, lichenization ...

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise The species‐rich flora of Tropical Andes underwent multiple rapid and recent diversifications, yet resolving their evolutionary histories remains challenging despite increasing phylogenomic data. Here, we examined phylogenomic conflict in Brachyotum (Melastomataceae) to identify sources preventing its resolution.

Are Substrate Types Factors Determining Tree Communities in Tropical Montane Cloud Forest?
ForestistTropical montane cloud forests (TMCF) are tropical vegetation that exhibits a great variety of specialized plant species due to the wide variation of abiotic factors, even along small distances.

DNA barcoding analysis and phylogenetic relationships of tree species in tropical cloud forests
Scientific Reports, 2017 DNA barcoding is a useful tool for species identification and phylogenetic construction. But present studies have far reached a consistent result on the universality of DNA barcoding. We tested the universality of tree species DNA barcodes including rbcL,

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Advances in new next‐generation sequencing (NGS) methods have revolutionized phylogenetics, yet challenges remain in effectively utilizing data from a wide range of sources. A well‐resolved and broadly sampled phylogeny for Sonerileae, the second‐largest tribe in Melastomataceae, is still lacking, hindering our understanding of its ...
