Balancing tracks and trees: Assessing railroad impact on Brazilian biodiversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
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 ...

Climate‐induced shifts in long‐term tropical tree reproductive phenology: Insights from species dependent on and independent of biotic pollination

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The dependence on biotic pollination may constrain plant phenological responses because flowering time ultimately defines reproductive success. We proposed a local‐scale study combining long‐term phenology and experimental data to evaluate how a key functional trait—the

Diversification of African Rainforest Restricted Clades: Piptostigmateae and Annickieae (Annonaceae)

Diversity, 2020
African rainforests (ARFs) are species rich and occur in two main rainforest blocks: West/Central and East Africa. This diversity is suggested to be the result of recent diversification, high extinction rates and multiple vicariance events between west ...

Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 74-105, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...

Accelerated diversification correlated with functional traits shapes extant diversity of the early divergent angiosperm family Annonaceae

bioRxiv, 2019
Background A major goal of phylogenetic systematics is to understand both the patterns of diversification and the processes by which these patterns are formed.

Phylogenetic Relatedness Determines Heterospecific Pollen–Pistil Compatibility and Reproductive Outcome in the Apocarpous Species Sagittaria trifolia (Alismataceae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study investigates heterospecific pollen (HP) effects in Sagittaria trifolia, an apocarpous plant with an extragynoecial compitum. HP–pistil compatibility and resulting seed set reduction were greatest from phylogenetically close donors, not influenced by origin or pollen traits.
