Genetic structure of Mesoamerican populations of Big-leaf mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) inferred from microsatellite analysis.
While microsatellites have been used to examine genetic structure in local populations of Neotropical trees, genetic studies based on such high-resolution markers have not been carried out for Mesoamerica as a whole. Here we assess the genetic structure of the Mesoamerican mahogany Swietenia macrophylla King (big-leaf mahogany), a Neotropical tree species recently listed as endangered in CITES ...

متن کاملComparison of wood properties of planted big-leaf mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) in martinique island with naturally grown mahogany from brazil, mexiCo and peru
langbour p, gérard J, roda Jm, ahmad fauzi p & guibal d. 2011. Comparison of wood properties of planted big-leaf mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) in martinique island with naturally grown mahogany from brazil, mexico and peru. Big-leaf mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) has been harvested and traded since the 16th century. It is highly valued and is used to craft luxury furniture and items. Its n...
متن کاملStereoscopic particle image velocimetry measurements of the three-dimensional flow field of a descending autorotating mahogany seed (Swietenia macrophylla).
An experimental investigation of near field aerodynamics of wind dispersed rotary seeds has been performed using stereoscopic digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV). The detailed three-dimensional flow structure of the leading-edge vortex (LEV) of autorotating mahogany seeds (Swietenia macrophylla) in a low-speed vertical wind tunnel is revealed for the first time. The results confirm that t...
متن کاملIsland Invasion by a Threatened Tree Species: Evidence for Natural Enemy Release of Mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) on Dominica, Lesser Antilles
Despite its appeal to explain plant invasions, the enemy release hypothesis (ERH) remains largely unexplored for tropical forest trees. Even scarcer are ERH studies conducted on the same host species at both the community and biogeographical scale, irrespective of the system or plant life form. In Cabrits National Park, Dominica, we observed patterns consistent with enemy release of two introdu...
