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

Intraspecific Niche Evolution in a Drought Deciduous Shrub With Implications for Climate Resiliency
The abstract explains that Aloysia gratissima (whitebrush) has two geographically isolated populations in North and South America that experience distinct climatic conditions. Using species distribution models, principal component analysis, and reciprocal spatial transfers, the study tested for evidence of climatic niche divergence versus conservatism ...
