Aphelandra almanegra (Acanthaceae), a new species from the dry forests of the Cauca River canyon in Antioquia department, Colombia.
Aphelandra almanegra, a new species from tropical dry forest in Antioquia department, Colombia, is described, illustrated and mapped. Notes are given on its geographical distribution, phenology, conservation status and taxonomic affinities. It is compared with its morphologically closest relative Aphelandra pulcherrima, which differs by its habit, indumentum and various inflorescence...Gallego, Pablo C. ; Wood, John R. I.

Woody plant encroachment drives population declines in 20% of common open ecosystem bird species.
Grassy ecosystems cover more than 40% of the world's terrestrial surface, supporting crucial ecosystem services and unique biodiversity. These ecosystems have experienced major losses from conversion to agriculture with the remaining fragments threatened by global change. Woody plant encroachment, the increase in woody cover threatening grassy ecosystems, is a major...White, Joseph D. M. ; Stevens, Nicola ; Fisher, Jolene T. ; Reynolds, Chevonne

Comparative metabolite profiling of three savannic species of Banisteriopsis (Malpighiaceae) via UPLC‐MS/MS and chemometric tools.
Banisteriopsis (Malpighiaceae) is an important genus of neotropical savannas with related biological and medicinal activities but under‐explored metabolomic profiles. We present a chemometric analysis for discriminating secondary metabolites of three species of Banisteriopsis (B. laevifolia, B. malifolia, and B. stellaris) leaves. Initially, each species was separately extracted with ethanol:water (4:1,...
