Non‐floral scent sources of orchid bees: Observations and significance

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2025.
We observed male euglossines collecting scent at 21 different non‐floral sources in Central and South America, strengthening the view that these sources play a central role in euglossine perfume biology. A Protium tree provided over 50% of the perfumes for Eufriesea corusca and was repeatedly revisited.

Chemical Composition and Biological Activities of Essential Oils from Fresh Vismia guianensis (Aubl.) Choisy and Vismia cayennensis (Jacq.) Pers. Leaves

Research, Society and Development, 2021
The Vismia Vand. genus encompasses many species indigenous to the Amazon rain forest where they are popularly known as “Lacre” bark and leaves are widely employed by locals to treat dermatophytoses. The aim of this study was to investigate the chemical composition of essential oils (EOs) extracted from the aerial parts of the species Vismia guianensis (

Bird perches and artificial bat roosts increase seed rain and seedling establishment in tropical bracken‐dominated deforested areas

Restoration Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 7, September 2024.
Tropical forests are being reduced by human activities. The use of fire for agricultural expansion generates areas dominated by the bracken fern Pteridium, where forest regeneration is slow. This may be caused by seed limitation, especially of animal‐dispersed seeds, due to the absence of seed dispersers from the forest in deforested areas, calling for

Tree demographic strategies largely overlap across succession in Neotropical wet and dry forest communities

Ecology, Volume 105, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract Secondary tropical forests play an increasingly important role in carbon budgets and biodiversity conservation. Understanding successional trajectories is therefore imperative for guiding forest restoration and climate change mitigation efforts.

Feedback loops drive ecological succession: towards a unified conceptual framework

Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 3, Page 928-949, June 2024.
ABSTRACT The core principle shared by most theories and models of succession is that, following a major disturbance, plant–environment feedback dynamics drive a directional change in the plant community. The most commonly studied feedback loops are those in which the regrowth of the plant community causes changes to the abiotic (e.g. soil nutrients) or
