Understory plant diversity and plantation traits mediate the effects of arthropod diversity on herbivory rates in African mahogany plantations
Forest plantations and agricultural land use are gradually replacing natural forests. Biodiversity conservation in the Anthropocene must include the diversity of species in these novel ecosystems and human-modified landscapes. Evaluating the role of forest plantations as potential biodiversity refuges requires understanding how these plantations influence species interactions and processes that shape species coexistence. We used structural equati…
Does plant form recapitulate its therapeutic function? a test for red sap plants
The Doctrine of signature suggests there are parallels between a plant's appearance, structure, or therapeutic functions that it may have on the corporal systems of the human body as well as the disease it treats. This concept, often considered more of a traditional belief than an established scientific theory has been dismissed as primitive and unscientific or as a mnemonic aid. However, direct tests of these theoretical predictions are rare, su…
Random Patterns of Medicinal Plants on a Phylogeny do not Imply Random Selections of Medicinal Plants
Existing studies report that medicinal plants are either phylogenetically clustered or that plant medicinal property is phylogenetically conserved. Each scenario is traditionally interpreted as evidence of non-random selection by humans of medicinal plants. Here, we argue that this interpretation is misleading, highlighting that both scenarios are simultaneously required for a correct interpretation of human selection of medicinal plants. We prop…
Contrasting luxury effect on urban plant phylogenetic and taxonomic diversity in West African cities
Urbanization is a driving factor for biodiversity loss and potential climate change by reducing carbon stocks. Understanding how urban development, as mitigated by socio-economic factors alters urban biodiversity is crucial for effective urban planning that maintains or improves environmental resilience. The luxury effect hypothesis predicts that wealthier parts of a city will have higher levels of biodiversity. This effect has been tested widely…
A phylogenetic evaluation of non‐random medicinal plants selection around an African biosphere reserve
Theory in ethnobiology suggests that the selection of medicinal plants by local people in a given region is not random and evolutionary closely related species may have similar medicinal uses. Additionally, plants selection by local people is often driven by plant therapeutic efficacy, plant availability, plant versatility or local knowledge on medicinal plants. We tested the hypothesis of non‐random selection of medicinal plants as well as the p…
Can debarking affects sex ratio, population structure and spatial segregation
The ecological mechanisms that contribute to maintaining plant populations have been exhaustively examined around the world, but the relative quantification of the effect of anthropogenic processes on these mechanisms in tropical dioecious tree species has not been revealed yet. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of debarking on the sex ratio, population structure, distribution and spatial correlation between the sexes and growth sta…
Phylogeny explains why less therapeutically redundant plant species are not necessarily facing greater use pressure
Understanding which factors influence medicinal plant species selection and harvest or use pressure can provide valuable insights for sustainable management of natural resources and conservation efforts. The utilitarian redundancy model, a theoretical framework in ethnobotany, suggests that species that are therapeutically redundant or fulfil similar therapeutic functions within traditional ethnomedicine are less likely to be under greater use pr…
Non-random medicinal plants selection in the Kichwa community of the Ecuadorian Amazon
Most Cultural Importance Indices Do Not Predict Species’ Cultural Keystone Status
Cultural keystone species revisited
The cultural keystone species theory predicts plant species that are culturally important, play a role in resource acquisition, fulfil a psycho-socio-cultural function within a given culture, have high use-value, have an associated naming and terminology in a native language, and a high level of species irreplaceability qualify for cultural keystone species designation. This theory was proposed as a framework for understanding relationships betwe…
Collapse of orchid populations altered traditional knowledge and cultural valuation in Sichuan, China
Strong seedling recruitment does not limit mangrove vulnerability to harvest
Ecological studies on the impacts of timber harvesting contributed to inform sustainable management strategies of tropical forests. However, these studies rely strongly on two major assumptions: (i) strong seedlings recruitment predispose for positive population dynamics, and (ii) more adult trees is a guarantee for a strong reproductive capability of the population. These assumptions are applied without accounting for the life history of the har…
