Widespread introduced species dominate the urban tree assemblage on the endemic...
Strauß, Lena; F. De Lima, Ricardo; Baker, Timothy R.; Benitez Bosco, Laura; Dauby, Gilles; Lachenaud, Olivier; Lima, Angela; Madre Deus, DilsonThe Afrotropics are experiencing some of the fastest urbanisation rates on the planet but the impact of city growth on their rich and unique biodiversity remains understudied, especially compared to natural baselines. Little is also known about how introduced species influence β-diversity in these contexts, and how patterns coincide with native ranges of species. Here we investigated how tree assemblages of the...
A Taxonomically-verified and Vouchered Checklist of the Vascular Plants of the ...
Gosline, George; Bidault, Ehoarn; van der Burgt, Xander; Cahen, Daniel; Challen, Gill; Condé, Nagnouma; Couch, Charlotte; Couvreur, Thomas L PThe Checklist of the Vascular Plants of the Republic of Guinea (CVPRG) is a specimen-based, expert-validated knowledge product, which provides a concise synthesis and overview of current knowledge on 3901 vascular plant species documented from Guinea (Conakry), West Africa, including their accepted names and synonyms, as well as their distribution and status within Guinea (indigenous or introduced, endemic or n...
14,000 years of climatic and anthropogenic change in the Afromontane forest of ...
Castilla-Beltrán, Alvaro; F. De Lima, Ricardo; Benitez Bosco, Laura; Castillo Armas, Rosa Delia; Strandberg, Nichola; Stévart, Tariq; de Nascimento, LeaSão Tomé (Gulf of Guinea, Central Africa) is a 854 km2 tropical island that had a pivotal role in early European colonial expansion through the Atlantic between the 15th and 16th centuries. Historical sources suggest that native vegetation has been heavily impacted since human arrival (1470 CE) due to monoculture economies and the introduction of mammals and plants, some of which now have established wild popul...

Phylogenetic classification of the world's tropical forests
Slik, J. W.Ferry; Franklin, Janet; Arroyo-Rodríguez, Víctor; Field, Richard; Aguilar, Salomón; Aguirre, Nikolay; Ahumada, Jorge A.; Aiba, ShinichiroKnowledge about the biogeographic affinities of the world's tropical forests helps to better understand regional differences in forest structure, diversity, composition, and dynamics. Such understanding will enable anticipation of region-specific responses to global environmental change. Modern phylogenies, in combination with broad coverage of species inventory data, now allow for global biogeographic analyses...
