Invasive pine control promotes native plant regeneration, but with limited effect in the Cerrado, Brazil

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Invasions by Pinus represent major challenges for conservation and ecological restoration, especially in open ecosystems of tropical South America, such as the Brazilian neotropical savanna (Cerrado). Objective We evaluated whether the clear‐cutting and manual removal of Pinus caribaea reduce the impacts of invasion on woody plant

Floristic composition and abundance in forest fragments: a case study from southern Goiás, Brazil

open access: yesBioscience Journal, 2015
The fragmentation of tropical forests has been identified as the main reason for their biodiversity reduction. This process is extensively occurring in the Brazilian central area, where there still are insufficient information about the remaining flora ...

FLORISTIC COMPOSITION ANALYSIS, DIVERSITY AND SIMILARITY OF ATLANTIC FOREST FRAGMENTS IN MINAS GERAIS STATE-BRAZIL

open access: yes, 2015
The objectives of this study were: to analyze, to describe and to discriminate the distribution of the floristic composition in 4 forest fragments in Zona da Mata of Minas Gerais; to estimate the sampling sufficiency, using the method of the linear plateau regression; to know the diversity and similarity of the fragments; to establish the ...

The Global South's OCBIL Theory Helps Elucidate Evolution, Ecology, and Conservation in Biological and Cultural Diversity

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Ecological theory has been shaped disproportionately by studies conducted in young, disturbance‐prone, relatively fertile landscapes (YODFELs), mostly in the Global North. Yet, many megadiverse regions in the Global South are dominated by old, climatically buffered, infertile landscapes (OCBILs), resulting in fundamentally different patterns that ...

Diplazium subquadripinnatum (Copel.) Lellinger (Athyriaceae): A New Record for the Flora of Niue Resolves an 85‐Year Mystery

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
A fern collection made by T. G. Yuncker on 27 January 1940 from tropical rainforest forest in Niue had only been identified to its genus and lacked a species determination. Yuncker in his 1943 flora referred the collection to Athyrium Roth, whereas W. R. Sykes in his 1970 flora treated it as Diplazium Sw. Examination of the Yuncker 9916 specimen (BISH!)

Floristic Distribution Patterns of Araceae Juss. in the Atlantic Forest of Rio de Janeiro

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica
Araceae play a crucial role in the biodiversity of the Atlantic Forest, enhancing its ecological complexity and ecosystem function. However, distribution knowledge within this Phytogeographic Domain remains limited.

New canopy legume species highlight liana gap sampling across Amazonian and Atlantic rain forests

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Lianas are a key component of the Neotropical flora, accounting for 10% of angiosperm richness and playing important ecological roles. However, the canopy preference of some species often leads to their underrepresentation in herbarium collections, thereby exacerbating Linnaean, Darwinian, and Wallacean shortfalls. The papilionoid legume genus
