Certification of açaí agroforestry increases the conservation potential of the Amazonian tree flora.
The harvesting of açaí berries (palm fruits from the genus ) in Amazonia has increased over the last 20 years due to a high local and global market demand and triggered by their widely acclaimed health benefits as a ‘superfood’. Although such increase represents a financial boom for local communities,...Damasco, Gabriel ; Anhalt, Mandy ; Perdiz, Ricardo O. ; Wittmann, Florian ; de Assis, Rafael L. …

Fossil data support a pre-Cretaceous origin of flowering plants
Flowering plants (angiosperms) are the most diverse of all land plants, becoming abundant in the Cretaceous and achieving dominance in the Cenozoic. However, the exact timing of their origin remains a controversial topic, with molecular clocks generally placing their origin much further back in time than the oldest unequivocal fossils....Silvestro, Daniele ; Bacon, Christine D. ; Ding, Wenna ; Zhang, Qiuyue ; Donoghue, Philip C.

Disproportionate extinction of South American mammals drove the asymmetry of the Great American Biotic Interchange.
The interchange between the previously disconnected faunas of North and South America was a massive experiment in biological invasion. A major gap in our understanding of this invasion is why there was a drastic increase in the proportion of mammals of North American origin found in South America. Four nonmutually... -

Selective extinction against redundant species buffers functional diversity
The extinction of species can destabilize ecological processes. A way to assess the ecological consequences of species loss is by examining changes in functional diversity. The preservation of functional diversity depends on the range of ecological roles performed by species, or functional richness, and the number of species per role,...Pimiento, Catalina ; Bacon, Christine D. ; Silvestro, Daniele ; Hendy, Austin ; Jaramillo, Carlos …
