New canopy legume species highlight liana gap sampling across Amazonian and Atlantic rain forests
Abstract Lianas are a key component of the Neotropical flora, accounting for 10% of angiosperm richness and playing important ecological roles. However, the canopy preference of some species often leads to their underrepresentation in herbarium collections, thereby exacerbating Linnaean, Darwinian, and Wallacean shortfalls. The papilionoid legume genus

Morphospace position and phylogenetic placements of Trimeriantha monopolyada. Summary Floral structure is a key aspect of angiosperm diversity. Recent research revealed that significant floral disparity was already present in the Cretaceous. However, our understanding of early floral diversity remains limited, as it is directly dependent on the fossil ...

Banksia attenuata (Proteaceae) attracts nocturnal scarab beetles with an unusual floral scent—the beetles pollinate the flower as they feed on pollen and nectar and mate on the inflorescences. Abstract Pollination by beetles has evolved multiple times in flowering plants but with relatively few plant species adapted specifically to pollination by ...

New records of extinct Icacinaceae from Paleocene rainforests of northwestern South America
Abstract Premise This study describes three new records of Icacinaceae—Punctiuga bachue gen. et sp. nov., Palaeophytocrene paramoae sp. nov., and Goweria bacatana sp. nov. from the Paleocene (Selandian–Thanetian) Bogotá Formation in Colombia—improving understanding of the distribution and evolution of this family in the Neotropics.

Balancing tracks and trees: Assessing railroad impact on Brazilian biodiversity
The Brazilian West–East Integration Railway (FIOL) aims to boost the national economy by improving commodity transport; however, it crosses three of Brazil's most biodiverse and fragile regions: the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Using digitised plant records and land‐use analyses, our study reveals significant vegetation loss within the ...

ABSTRACT Aim To investigate the historical processes underlying the assembly of the flora of the Chocó region, with a focus on the relative contributions of dispersal and in situ speciation. Using Inga (Leguminosae) as a model lineage, we evaluate the origin and diversification of species present in the Chocó.
