Disentangling lianas : The systematics of Monanthotaxis (Annonaceae)

, 2022
The family Annonaceae consists of woody plants and are mostly restricted to tropical rain forests. In these forests it is one of the most speciose and abundant plant families, making it an important family for understanding the diversity, ecology and evolution of tropical plants.The two most important subfamilies of the Annonaceae are the Annonoideae ...

Vitex oreadica and V. umbellata (Lamiaceae): two new species from Cerrado and Atlantic forest of Brazil

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Vitex L. is a pantropical genus of Lamiaceae comprising 209 taxa. Brazil harbors 35 species, representing nearly 50% of the genus richness in the Neotropics, with the Amazon showing the highest richness, followed by the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado domains. Nevertheless, most taxonomic studies of the genus have been conducted in Africa and Asia.

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

TAXON, 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

Evaluating potential restoration strategies for vascular epiphytes with niche‐based community mechanistic models

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Generally, delayed restoration of adult‐only epiphyte populations into older restored forests improves conservation outcomes. However, restoration can be optimised, initially introducing large populations of fast‐growing, light‐when‐mature species in younger forests followed by the later introduction of slow‐growing, heavy‐when‐mature species in ...
