Tracing the origins and evolution of nymphalid butterflies (Lepidoptera) in the Atlantic Forest

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding the relative roles of diversification and dispersal is key to explaining large‐scale biogeographical patterns. Although both processes are known to shape biodiversity, their relative contributions remain understudied for many organisms. Here, we examine how these processes have jointly contributed to the exceptional diversity and endemism

Genome-wide identification of the FAD gene family in Persea mericana Mill. and its expression analysis under heat stress

BMC Plant Biology
Avocado (Persea americana Mill.), a high-value tropical fruit tree, faces increasing global warming. Avocado fruit is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, with fatty acid desaturases (FADs) playing a central role in lipid remodeling and thermal ...

Flavonoid Composition and Bioactivities of Nymphaea ‘Blue Bird’: Analysis, Purification, and Evaluation

Life
Nymphaea ‘Blue Bird’, a tropical water lily prized for its ornamental appeal, has been less explored as a source of bioactive flavonoids. This study developed an efficient extraction and purification protocol for flavonoids from this plant and compared ...

Macroecological relationships of ant diversity with increasing aridity in Australian tropical savannas: contrasting responses of epigaeic and hypogaeic assemblages

Ecography, EarlyView.
Studies using climatic gradients play a key role in our understanding of the importance of rainfall and temperature as factors regulating species diversity and distribution, and thus of likely responses to climate change. However, such studies currently consider above‐ground species only, ignoring the diverse hypogaeic (subterranean) invertebrate fauna.

State‐Level Politics in Forest Governance: The Role of the Narrative‐Policy Nexus in the Brazilian Amazon

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deforestation and its social impacts are an enduring challenge in agrarian frontiers, especially in the tropics. Fueled by global demand for commodities, this process is mediated by ideas, concepts, meanings, and policies that uphold socioenvironmental degradation. A key and understudied—arena in which this mediation occurs is the sub‐national

Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Dendrobium hainanense (Orchidaceae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources
In this study, we report the chloroplast (cp) genome of Dendrobium hainanense. The cp genome was 151,367 bp in length; the overall CG content of the genome was 37.46%.

Did belowground N transfer in mixed plantations of Acacia mangium and Eucalyptus meet the Stress Gradient Hypothesis? [PDF]

, 2019
Belowground interactions in mixed forest plantations remain poorly understood as that of short-tenn nitrogen (N) transfer from N-fixing trees to non-N-fixing trees (Non-NFT) depending on nutrient availability. We investigated in this facilitation process
