Moraceae - Science topic

I found this species in a November, in "Jardín de los sueños" reserve of Guasaganda-La Mana / Ecuador.

I suspect that's kind of the Moraceae family, but failed to find flower or fruit, because I could not find another close one. 

It is located approximately 340 meters above sea level, in a rainforest.

The shaft is about 3 meters, and the leaves are 45 cm long, 25 wide and 6 cm petiole, nor have stipule latex. It barks apparent role shaped segments, with conical spines of 2 mm diameter. Simple alternate leaves, elliptical, entire margin. Local people call it "Mata palo" and say it has a yellow fruit.

I thought in the genre Poulsenia sp.

Thank you  for your contribution

I'm doing some spatial analysis of fig trees, using the locations of trees as a point process for Bayesian modelling.

I'm considering whether to include the proximity to rivers as a spatial covariate in the analysis, and specifically, whether to log-transform this variable- if figs increase at a log scale in proximity to rivers.

I'm studying figs in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo but haven't found much information about this relationship in this part of the world, so any & all info is appreciated.

Best wishes & stay safe!

Does anybody know of a lab which deals with Dorstenia psilurus, Glyzyrrhyza uralensis, Euchresta formosana, Cryptocarya rubra or Macaranga denticulata? We did a virtual screening of flavonoids and found that some originating in these plants might be inhibitory against the main protease of SARS CoV 2:

We are currently undergoing molecular dynamics, and would like to collaborate for the in vitro phase.

Thanks.

I have a question related to a paper I'm working on. I am working on an article on Warren O. Addicott (sort of a very late memorial). Doing a google search for "addicotti" I've across a wasp, Pleistodontes addicotti Wiebes (1991) (Wiebes JT. 1991. Agaonidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) and Ficus (Moraceae): fig wasps and their figs, VII (Pleist- odontes). Proceedings of the Koninklijke Nederlandse Akad- emie van Wetenschappen 94: 137–152). I need to check this article to see if this species is named for Warren Addicott, but I cannot find a pdf of the paper. Can anyone help? Thanks.

I have a few photos of species that I cannot identify

can any one identify this ficus spp?

thanks

Abstract

Ficus carica Linn. (Moraceae) is commonly known as edible fig. Due to the useful effect of leaves in skin diseases, pharmacognostical standardization of F. carica leaves was carried out. Morphological examination showed that leaves are long, palmate shaped and dark green in color. The leaves powder had characteristic odor and taste. Transverse section of leaves showed upper and lower epidermis with covering and glandular trichomes and midrib showed arc shaped vascular bundle. Successive extractive value was highest (23.606%) in case of aqueous extract. Mean ash values (%) were 23.04 (total), 6.48 (acid insoluble) and 12.69 (water soluble). Loss on drying was 5.9107%. Resin content was found 1.33%. Phytochemical screening of leaves powder showed the presence of carbohydrates, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, steroids, tannin, resin and acidic compounds.

Please give idea some journal which are published full article.
