Las carpotecas son consideradas colecciones que albergan frutos secos. El objetivo de este trabajo es documentar la colección que contiene frutos de tamaño grande que acompañan a los especímenes depositados en la colección del Herbario TEFH. Los frutos fueron curados, etiquetados, fotografiados, categorizados por tamaño y guardados en bolsas de papel, organizados en una base de datos. La colección de frutos del herbario TEFH cuenta con un total de 224 frutos dehiscentes e indehiscentes, pertenecientes a 35 familias, de los cuales 92 frutos corresponden a la familia Pinaceae, seguido de Malvaceae (13), Fabaceae (12), Elaeocarpaceae (9), Meliaceae (9) y Apocynaceae (8), siendo las familias con mayor número de especies. Esta colección de frutos desempeña un papel crucial en la preservación y estudio de la diversidad vegetal, proporcionando información valiosa sobre el conocimien...

Urban parks are places for recreation, rest, and in turn are conservation areas for native species. The objective of this study was to identify the plant species of eight urban parks in Tegucigalpa and Comayagüela of the Department of Francisco Morazán (Honduras), in 2015 and 2022. 102 species were reported in urban parks, belonging to 43 families and 86 genera. The families with the highest number of species were Fabaceae, Asparagaceae, Arecaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Apocynaceae, Bignoniaceae, Myrtaceae and Rutaceae. Trees are the most frequent (48%), followed by shrubs (28%) and herbs (24.5%), of these 56.8% are introduced and 43.2% native. Among the species recorded, Coffea arabica L. and Swietenia humilis Zucc. are listed as endangered according to the IUCN Red List, while Cedrela odorata L., Araucaria heterophylla (Salisb.) Franco and Jacaranda mimosifolia D. Don and 38 species of leas...

Transmission lines are structures built to provide energy for the population's consumption. However, these lines have a direct or indirect impact on ecosystems, altering their composition and biotic interactions. The objective of this study was to determine the floristic composition, pollination, and dispersal syndromes in the transmission and subtransmission lines Las Flores-Erandique (SFE), San Pedro Sula Sur-Naco (TSPS), and Danlí-Chichicaste (SChD) in Honduras. To conduct the vegetation characterization, the present flora within the 16 × 16 m right-of-way area was inventoried, and herbs, shrubs, and trees were collected. To establish the relationship between habitat and floral traits, and determine the pollination syndromes, flower size and corolla colors were based, while dispersal syndromes were determined considering different characteristics in fruit morphology, fruit type, col...
