TAXON, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 44-77, February 2017., 2017 Abstract The classification of the legume family proposed here addresses the long‐known non‐monophyly of the traditionally recognised subfamily Caesalpinioideae, by recognising six robustly supported monophyletic subfamilies. This new classification uses as its framework the most comprehensive phylogenetic analyses of legumes to date, based on plastid ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 409-428, February 2012., 2012 Multivariate and geostatisctic analyses showed that the tree species composition of 187 seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF) in North‐eastern and Central Brazil varied significantly with both environmental variables and spatial proximity. There is a role for niche‐based control of tree species composition across the SDTFs areas determined primarily ...
