Tree biodiversity of warm drylands is likely to decline in a drier world

Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 13, Page 3707-3722, July 2023., 2023
Based on spatialized occurrence data and multiple climate models we assessed the risk of decline due to future climate aridification of tree species in warm drylands. Depending on the climate model, from 44% to 88% of warm drylands' tree species will undergo climate aridification with a high risk of decline even under the most optimistic conditions ...

Defaunation affects Astrocaryum gratum (Arecales: Arecaceae) seed survivorship in a sub-montane tropical forest

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2014
Animal-plant interactions in Neotropical forests are complex processes. Within these processes, mid- to large-sized mammals consume fruits and seeds from several species; however, because of their size these mammals are overhunted, resulting in defaunated forests.

Diversification of myco-heterotrophic angiosperms: evidence from Burmanniaceae. [PDF]

, 2008
Background - Myco-heterotrophy evolved independently several times during angiosperm evolution. Although many species of myco-heterotrophic plants are highly endemic and long-distance dispersal seems unlikely, some genera are widely dispersed and have ...

Genome‐scale angiosperm phylogenies based on nuclear, plastome, and mitochondrial datasets

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 65, Issue 6, Page 1479-1489, June 2023., 2023
Genome‐scale angiosperm phylogenies were reconstructed used currently available de novo genome data of 366 angiosperm species from 241 genera belonging to 97 families across 43 of the 64 orders based on orthologous genes from the nuclear, plastid, and mitochondrial genomes of the same species with compatible datasets.

Comprehensive phylogenetic analyses of Orchidaceae using nuclear genes and evolutionary insights into epiphytism

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 65, Issue 5, Page 1204-1225, May 2023., 2023
Orchidaceae are one of two largest angiosperm families with ~28,000 species and mainly grow as epiphytes on trees in rainforests. Evolutionary analyses of 610 orchids with 431 new transcriptomes provides a robust Orchidaceae phylogeny and suggests that the expansion of rainforests probably promoted the origin and diversification of epiphytic orchids ...

Bilirubin Present in Diverse Angiosperms [PDF]

, 2010
Background and aims: Bilirubin is an orange-yellow tetrapyrrole produced from the breakdown of heme by mammals and some other vertebrates. Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria synthesize molecules similar to bilirubin, including the protein-bound bilins and ...

Aquatic and Palustrine Angiosperms of Viruá National Park, Brazilian Amazon—Nymphaeales, Alismatales, Dioscoreales, and Arecales

Harvard Papers in Botany, 2019
The Virua National Park (VNP) with its different plant formations (rainforest, white-sand savannas —“campinaranas,” and “buritizais”) is located in a region still lacking in botanical studies (Guiana Shield and Brazilian Amazon). Aiming to improve the knowledge of the region's flora, collections were conducted in VNP from 2010 to 2015. The present work

Extrapolating demography with climate, proximity and phylogeny: approach with caution [PDF]

, 2016
Plant population responses are key to understanding the effects of threats such as climate change and invasions. However, we lack demographic data for most species, and the data we have are often geographically aggregated.
