Hyperdominance in the Amazonian Tree Flora

The finding that Amazonia is dominated by just 227 tree species implies that most biogeochemical cycling in the world’s largest tropical forest is performed by a tiny sliver of its diversity.

An analysis of the floristic composition and diversity of Amazonian forests including those of the Guiana Shield

A large number of newly published and unpublished hectare plots in Amazonia and the Guiana Shield area allow an analysis of family composition and testing of hypotheses concerning alpha-diversity in…

A spatial model of tree α-diversity and tree density for the Amazon

Large-scale patterns of Amazonian biodiversity have until now been obscured by a sparse and scattered inventory record. Here we present the first comprehensive spatial model of tree α-diversity and…

Persistent effects of pre-Columbian plant domestication on Amazonian forest composition

Analysis of plant distributions, archaeological sites, and environmental data indicates that modern tree communities in Amazonia are structured to an important extent by a long history of plant domestication by Amazonian peoples.

Species Distribution Modelling: Contrasting presence-only models with plot abundance data

This pipeline provides a conservative estimate of a species’ area of occupancy, within an area slightly larger than its extent of occurrence, compatible to e.g. IUCN red list assessments.

Phylogeny and evolution of Burmanniaceae (Dioscoreales) based on nuclear and mitochondrial data.

Phylogenetic inference using nucleotide sequences of the nuclear 18S rDNA region and the mitochondrial nad1 b-c intron revealed two well-supported, major lineages within the Burmanniaceae, corresponding to the two tribes recognized in the family: Burmannieae and Thismieae.

Linker scanning of the yeast RNA polymerase I promoter.

To define the RNA polymerase I promoter in the rDNA of Saccharomyces cerevisiae more precisely, we have constructed a series of 5'- and 3'-deletion mutants in a novel, plasmid-borne rDNA minigene,…
