Inflorescence Architecture and Floral Morphology of Aratitiyopea lopezii (Xyridaceae) [PDF]
Aratitiyopea lopezii is a robust perennial species of Xyridaceae from seasonally saturated, mid- to high-elevation, sandstone and granite sites in northern South America. The species lacks the scapose inflorescence characteristic of Xyridaceae and, having

ABSTRACT The large carpenter bees of the genus Xylocopa comprise almost 400 species distributed worldwide. Their large body and ability to build nests through woodworking make them one of the most remarkable groups of bees. In the Neotropics, they comprise over 100 species occurring in tropical and subtropical environments including islands in the ...

ABSTRACT Aim The distribution of species relying on mutualistic partners for reproduction can be constrained by their partners' distribution. Nonetheless, biotic interactions are often overlooked when estimating the distributions of species (e.g., pollinators of a given plant and the proportion of them with their distribution modelled). In the Tropics,

Genetic relationships and variation in reproductive strategies in four closely related bromeliads adapted to neotropical ‘inselbergs': Alcantarea glaziouana, A. regina, A. geniculata and A. imperialis (Bromeliaceae) [PDF]
Background and Aims Bromeliads (Bromeliaceae) adapted to rock outcrops or ‘inselbergs' in neotropical rain forests have been identified as suitable plant models for studying population divergence and speciation during continental plant radiations. Little
