The first Gondwanan Euphorbiaceae fossils reset the biogeographic history of the Macaranga‐Mallotus clade

American Journal of Botany, Volume 110, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Premise The spurge family Euphorbiaceae is prominent in tropical rainforests worldwide, particularly in Asia. There is little consensus on the biogeographic origins of the family or its principal lineages. No confirmed spurge macrofossils have come from Gondwana.

The anti‐Trypanosoma activities of medicinal plants: A systematic review of the literature

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 2738-2772, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Background The existing drug treatments for trypanosomiases are limited and suffer from shortcomings due to their toxicity and the emergence of resistant parasites. Developing anti‐trypanosomal compounds based on natural products is a promising way of fighting trypanosomiases.

Nonstructural carbohydrates predict survival in saplings of temperate trees under carbon stress

Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 11, Page 2806-2818, November 2022., 2022
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) mediate plant survival when the plant's carbon (C) balance is negative, suggesting that NSCs could predict plant survival under C stress.

Consuming and consumed: Biotic interactions of African mistletoes across different trophic levels

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 1103-1119, July 2022., 2022
Mistletoes, as perennial hemiparasitic angiosperms that parasitize woody plants, are an important component of the African flora, yet little is known about the composition and function of the organismal communities associated with these plants in Africa.

Seeing the wood despite the trees: Exploring human disturbance impact on plant diversity, community structure, and standing biomass in fragmented high Andean forests

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 2110-2172, March 2021., 2021
High Andean forests play a key role in providing ecosystem services for neighboring urban settlements. Here, we aimed to identify and understand the effects of anthropogenic perturbations on diversity, composition, and structure of plant communities, as well as aboveground biomass in high Andean forest remnants in the hinterland of Bogotá.

Tectonics, climate and the diversification of the tropical African terrestrial flora and fauna

Biological Reviews, Volume 96, Issue 1, Page 16-51, February 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT Tropical Africa is home to an astonishing biodiversity occurring in a variety of ecosystems. Past climatic change and geological events have impacted the evolution and diversification of this biodiversity. During the last two decades, around 90 dated molecular phylogenies of different clades across animals and plants have been published ...
