This study examines changing spatial patterns of botanical collections over a 400 year time frame, focussing on the collections at the Natural History Museum (BM) in comparison with global patterns. The Plant Collector Resource Database, which contai

The Natural History Museum, London (NHMUK) has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collections. The first phase of this programme was to undertake a series of pilot projects to develop the workflows and infrastructure needed to support

Discovering biological diversity is a fundamental goal—made urgent by the alarmingly high rate of extinction. We have compiled information from more than 100 000 type specimens to quantify the role of collectors in the discovery of plant diversity.

Testing coevolutionary scenarios over extended geological timescales is fraught with difficulties. Most tests rely on comparisons of temporal variations in taxonomic diversity for the groups of interest: however, this approach typically excludes spat

The purpose of this investigation was to model the distribution of the fishtail xate palm (´Chamaedorea ernesti‐augusti) and to investigate the effectiveness of using geostatistical techniques to map its distribution. The leaves of the Central Ame

The significance of co-evolution over ecological timescales is well established, yet it remains unclear to what extent co-evolutionary processes contribute to driving large-scale evolutionary and ecological changes over geological timescales. Some of

Recent developments in microspatial analysis of enamel chemistry provide the resolution needed to reconstruct detailed chronological records of an individual's early life history. Evidence of nutritional history, residential mobility, and exposure to

Of the twelve species ofChamaedorea palm recorded for Belize, three are of international economic value because their cut leaves (xate) are traded in the floricultural industry. Traditionally, Belize has not harvested xate, the industry being based i

Covering an area of 177,000 hectares, the region known within Belize as the Chiquibul Forest comprises the country's largest forest reserve and includes the Chiquibul Forest Reserve, the Chiquibul National Park and the Caracol Archaeological Reserve.

Edaphic variables figure significantly in plant community adaptations in tropical ecosystems but are often difficult to resolve because of the confounding influence of climate. Within the Chiquibul forest of Belize, large areas of Ultisols and Incept
