Projected warming and drying raise concerns about the resilience of stress‐adapted ecosystems, including the Brazilian Campo Rupestre, an exceptionally biodiverse mountaintop grassland mosaic on ancient, nutrient‐poor substrates. Here, we combine field‐based trait data and long‐term remote sensing to assess the functional structure and temporal ...

Revisiting the typification of Lippia riedeliana (Verbenaceae)
Abstract The present study revisits the previously selected lectotype for Lippia riedeliana, which was designated in a proposal to reject this name. According to our reinterpretation, this typification was based on non‐original material and, therefore, must be superseded. The holotype is at LE, and this specimen must be cited accordingly.

Occurrence of a Cavity‐Nesting Tropical Swallow Is Associated to Riverbed Lithology
ABSTRACT Understanding the factors shaping species distribution is a key challenge in ecology and biogeography. While dispersal limitations, environmental features, and biotic interactions are commonly recognized as key determinants of species abundance and distribution, some species exhibit patchy distributions that remain hard to explain.

Glomalin production in Atlantic Forest: Effects of soil properties and plant families
Abstract Glomalin, a glycoprotein produced by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), contributes to soil aggregation, carbon sequestration, and nutrient cycling. We present the first comprehensive assessment of environmental factors associated with glomalin availability, measured as easily extractable (easily extractable glomalin‐related soil protein [EE ...

Seed storage-mediated dormancy alleviation in Fabaceae from campo rupestre [PDF]
ABSTRACTWe studied the effects of seed storage on germination and dormancy alleviation in three species of Fabaceae endemic to campo rupestrein southeastern Brazil. Fresh seeds of Collaea cipoensis, Mimosa maguirei and Mimosa foliolosawere set to germinate and germination of seeds after four, five and 13 years of storage was tested.

Limited contribution by non‐volant small mammals to regeneration in ironstone rocky outcrops
Abstract Introduction Animal‐mediated seed dispersal contributes substantially to natural regeneration in degraded areas. However, the role of seed dispersal by non‐volant small mammals (NVSM), mainly marsupials and rodents, in contributing to regeneration remains underexplored, especially in mountaintop, open‐canopy ecosystems.

A NEW RUPICOLOUS PALM FROM THE CAMPOS RUPESTRES, MINAS GERAIS, BRAZIL
The Syagrus glaucescens species complex occurs in the Espinhaço Range in Minas Gerais state, Brazil. In addition to Syagrus duartei Glassman, S. glaucescens Glaz. ex Becc. and S. evansiana Noblick, a fourth undescribed species was previously identified by its morphology, leaf anatomy and geographical isolation. Here we formally describe this species as
