Fossil palm reading: using fruits to reveal the deep roots of palm diversity. [PDF]

Am J Bot, 2021
PREMISE Fossils are essential for understanding evolutionary history because they provide direct evidence of past diversity and geographic distributions. However, resolving systematic relationships between fossils and extant taxa, an essential step for many macroevolutionary studies, requires extensive comparative work on morphology and anatomy.

Genetic structuring in a Neotropical palm analyzed through an Andean orogenesis-scenario. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2018
Andean orogeny explains the structuring of genetic diversity in the palm Oenocarpus bataua into four genetic clusters within northwestern South America. These clusters maintain genetic exchange between them, even across the Andes. A hotspot of genetic diversity was determined in the northern Peruvian Amazonia.

Phylogenomics and generic limits of Dypsidinae (Arecaceae), the largest palm radiation in Madagascar

TAXON, Volume 71, Issue 6, Page 1170-1195, December 2022., 2022
Abstract With 178 species, palm subtribe Dypsidinae is one of the largest plant radiations on Madagascar. A well‐resolved species‐level phylogeny is required not only to unpick the drivers of this spectacular radiation, but also to define natural and useful generic limits in this taxonomically difficult group.

Recent and local diversification of Central American understorey palms

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 8, Page 1513-1525, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Central America is largely covered by hyperdiverse, yet poorly understood, rain forests. Understorey palms are diverse components of these forests, but little is known about their historical assembly. It is not clear when palms in Central America reached present diversity levels and whether most species arrived from neighbouring regions or

Genetic structure in populations of Euterpe precatoria Mart. in the Brazilian Amazon. [PDF]

, 2021
Euterpe precatoria is a palm tree belonging to the Arecaceae family, occurring inWestern and Central Brazilian Amazonia. Its fruit, which is very appreciated in the Amazon region, produces pulp that is consumed in fresh form.

Reestablishment of Euterpe longevaginata as a species distinct from E. precatoria and their respective typifications [PDF]

Rodriguésia
The Euterpeae tribe of palms (Arecaceae) is a key structural element in South American rainforests. In the most recent revisional study of the genus Euterpe, Euterpe longevaginata was treated as a variety of E. precatoria, even though the authors of that

An assessment of soil phytolith analysis as a palaeoecological tool for identifying pre-Columbian land use in Amazonian rainforests [PDF]

, 2023
Phytolith analysis is a well-established archaeobotanical tool, having provided important insights into pre-Columbian crop cultivation and domestication across Amazonia through the Holocene.
