Phylogenetic endemism of the orchids of Megamexico reveals complementary areas for conservation
Plant Diversity, 2022 Orchid diversity provides a unique opportunity to further our understanding of biotic and abiotic factors linked to patterns of richness, endemism, and phylogenetic endemism in many regions. However, orchid diversity is consistently threatened by illegal

Patterns of Richness and Endemism in the Gypsicolous Flora of Mexico
Diversity, 2023 Gypsum soils occur around the world, mainly in arid regions. These harsh environments promote unusual flora with high degrees of endemism. Mexico has extensive gypsum outcrops, but their flora has been poorly studied.
