Few attempts have been made to understand how spatiotemporal changes in fruit supply influence frugivores in tropical forests. The marked spatiotemporal variation in fruit supply can affect frugivore abundance and distribution, but studies addressing the effects of this variation on primates are scarce. The present study aimed to investigate how the spatiotemporal distribution of fruits influen...

Manilkara Adans. é o quarto maior gênero da família Sapotaceae e abrange cerca de 30 espécies na região neotropical distribuídas pelo Brasil, Uruguai, Paraguai Chile (FLORA DO BRASIL, 2020).

La diversidad y estructura de los bosques miden recursos su abundancia en una zona geográfica, Sapotaceae son importantes, por servir alimento a la fauna que habita. El estudio precisa conocer familia el Sureste Amazonía peruana, Madre Dios, Perú. se realizó tres zonas: boca del Río Los Amigos, puesto control Malinowski Reserva Nacional Tambopata Centro Investigación Tambopata. Se evaluó totali...

Species diversity is unequally distributed across the globe, with the greatest concentration occurring in the tropics. Even within the tropics, there are significant differences in the numbers of taxa found in each continental region. Manilkara is a pantropical genus of trees in the Sapotaceae comprising c. 78 species. Its distribution allows for biogeographic investigation and testing of wheth...

Gautier, L., C.G. Boluda, R. Randrianaivo & Y. Naciri (2022). Two further new species in the highly-diverse Malagasy endemic genus Capurodendron (Sapotaceae). Candollea 77: 119–126. In English, English and French abstracts. During course of a revision family Sapotaceae, two from dry forest belonging to Aubrév. were discovered. The first one, C. mikearum L. Gaut. earlier hypothesised be hybrid, ...

Hexane, ethanol and aqueous extracts and fractions from leaves of Pouteria torta (Mart.) Radlk (Sapotaceae), a perennial tree, widespread in the Brazilian Cerrado, were tested for cytotoxicity with the Artemia salina toxicity model. Only the aqueous crude extract and the MeCN: CHCl3 fraction of the ethanol extract presented toxicity (0.28 mg/mL and 0.27mg/mL, respectively). Lupeol acetate was i...

Little is known of the potential coevolution of flowers and bees in changing, biodiverse environments. Female solitary bees, megachilids and Centris, and their nest pollen provisions were monitored with trap nests over a 17-year period in a tropical Mexican biosphere reserve. Invasion by feral Apis (i.e. Africanized honey bees) occurred after the study began, and major droughts and hurricanes o...
