TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how a global community is responding to the challenges of tropical ecosystem research with diverse teams measuring forests tree-by-tree in thousands of long-term plots.

TL;DR: The inclusion of recently recorded/new species (after 2016), and recent taxonomic changes added up to an updated checklist including 10,071 species recorded for the Amazon region and shows the dynamic nature of establishing an authoritative checklist of Amazonian tree species.

TL;DR: A time-calibrated phylogenomic analysis based on genotyping-by-sequencing data of the 15 species of Scalesia (Darwin's giant daisies), an iconic and understudied plant radiation endemic to the Galápagos Islands and considered the plant counterpart to Darwin's finches, supports a Pliocene to early Pleistocene divergence between Scalingia and the closest South American relatives.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use a large floristic dataset to show that, while hyperdominance is a universal phenomenon across forest strata, different species dominate the forest understory, mid-story and canopy.
