Khoury, C. K., D. Carver, H. R. Kates, H. A. Achicanoy, M. Zonneveld, E. Thomas, C. Heinitz, et al. 2019. Distributions, conservation status, and abiotic stress tolerance potential of wild cucurbits ( Cucurbita L.). PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET 2: 269–283. https://doi.org/10.1002/ppp3.10085
Crop wild relatives—wild species closely related to cultivated plants—are valuable genetic resources for crop improvement, but gaps in knowledge constrain their conservation and limit their further use. We develop new information on the distributions, potential breeding value, and conservation statu…
Marconi, L., and L. Armengot. 2020. Complex agroforestry systems against biotic homogenization: The case of plants in the herbaceous stratum of cocoa production systems. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment 287: 106664. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agee.2019.106664
In addition to their potential against deforestation and climate change, agroforestry systems may have a relevant role in biodiversity conservation. In this sense, not only species richness per se, but also community composition, including the distribution range of the species, should be considered.…
Gomes, S. I. F., P. M. van Bodegom, V. S. F. T. Merckx, and N. A. Soudzilovskaia. 2019. Global distribution patterns of mycoheterotrophy G. Jordan [ed.],. Global Ecology and Biogeography 28: 1133–1145. https://doi.org/10.1111/geb.12920
Aim: Mycoheterotrophy is a mode of life where plants cheat the mycorrhizal symbiosis, receiving carbon via their fungal partners. Despite being widespread, mycoheterotrophic plants are locally rare, hampering the understanding of their global environmental drivers. Here, we explore global environmen…
