One sixth of Amazonian tree diversity is dependent on river floodplains.
Amazonia’s floodplain system is the largest and most biodiverse on Earth. Although forests are crucial to the ecological integrity of floodplains, our understanding of their species composition and how this may differ from surrounding forest types is still far too limited, particularly as changing inundation regimes begin to reshape floodplain... -

Clusia salicifolia (Clusiaceae), a new hemiepiphyte species from Costa Rica and Panama.
We describe and illustrate (Clusiaceae) a new species from Central America. This new species is different to all related species for its hemiepiphytic habit, narrow leaves with acute to acuminate apex, reticulate resin canals, staminate flowers with quadrangular androecium with 30 – 47 free stamens, and pistillate flowers with 4...Wodcke, Emma A. ; Luján, Manuel ; Hammel, Barry

Do Ectomycorrhizal Trees Select Ectomycorrhizal Fungi That Enhance Phosphorus Uptake under Nitrogen Enrichment?
Globally, forests are impacted by atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition, affecting their structure and functioning above and below ground. All trees form mutualistic root symbioses with mycorrhizal fungi. Of the two kinds of mycorrhizal symbioses of trees, the ectomycorrhizal (EcM) symbiosis is much more sensitive to N enrichment than the arbuscular...Kuyper, Thomas W. ; Suz, Laura M.

Global beta-diversity of angiosperm trees is shaped by Quaternary climate change.
As Earth’s climate has varied strongly through geological time, studying the impacts of past climate change on biodiversity helps to understand the risks from future climate change. However, it remains unclear how paleoclimate shapes spatial variation in biodiversity. Here, we assessed the influence of Quaternary climate change on spatial dissimilarity...Xu, Wu-Bing ; Guo, Wen-Yong ; Serra-Diaz, Josep M. ; Schrodt, Franziska ; Eiserhardt, Wolf L. …

Forty years of research into Crassulacean Acid Metabolism in the genus Clusia : anatomy, ecophysiology and evolution.
Clusia is the only genus containing dicotyledonous trees with a capacity to perform Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). Since the discovery of CAM in Clusia, 40 years ago, several studies have highlighted the extraordinary plasticity and diversity of life forms, morphology, and photosynthetic physiology of this genus. In this review we...Luján, Manuel ; Leverett, Alistair ; Winter, Klaus
