Beyond forests: Harnessing conservation gardening for open biomes in Brazil
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Urban gardening offers an innovative conservation strategy by integrating native ornamental species into urban landscapes. We evaluated the ornamental potential of the Brazilian flora by comparing the representation of species from forests versus open biomes (focusing on campo rupestre grasslands) and introduced and validated the Index of Ornamental ...

Niche‐tracking as a collecting method: Habitat‐targeted search strategies for taxon‐focused botany
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Biodiversity science depends on more than collecting plants—it depends on how we search for them. Although GPS and digital maps have transformed fieldwork, they can also encourage repeated visits to the same easy‐to‐access sites, leaving other habitats and populations unknown to science.

Run to the Caves: Frog Refuges From Harsh Environments
Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 6, November 2026.ABSTRACT The use of caves by primarily nontroglobiont organisms can be critical when the conditions of surrounding epigean habitats deteriorate as a result of synergic effects of climate changes and degradation of native vegetation cover. Under scenarios of unbalanced temperatures, high solar incidence, low humidity and reduced shelter availability in ...

Two new endemic species of Portulaca (Portulacaceae) from the Brazilian Pampa grasslands
Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.Portulaca L. is a monophyletic, cosmopolitan genus of succulent plants comprising ca 153 species, with particularly high diversity in xerophytic ecosystems in tropical and subtropical regions. Based on morphological evidence, we describe and illustrate two new species from the Brazilian Pampa, Portulaca guaritensis and Portulaca guenoa.
