The Evolution of Trait Disparity during the Radiation of the Plant Genus Macrocarpaea (Gentianaceae) in the Tropical Andes [PDF]
Biology, 2021 The evolutionary processes responsible for the extraordinary diversity in the middle elevation montane forests of the Tropical Andes (MMF; 1000–3500 m) remain poorly understood.

Population Genetic Structure and Diversity of Cryptic Species of the Plant Genus Macrocarpaea (Gentianaceae) from the Tropical Andes [PDF]
Plants, 2023 The Pleistocene climatic oscillations (PCO) that provoked several cycles of glacial–interglacial periods are thought to have profoundly affected species distribution, richness and diversity around the world.

A Monographic Revision of the Neotropical Genus Macrocarpaea (Gentianaceae) in Ecuador [PDF]
, 2014 The genus Macrocarpaea is a group of woody Gentianaceae that occurs in mountainous regions of the Neotropics. The majority of species occur in the Andes, with a high percentage in the Amotape–Huancabamba zone that straddles southern Ecuador and northern Peru.

The Shrubby Gentian Genus Macrocarpaea in Panama
Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden, 1987 A single species of the lisianthoid genus Macrocarpaea had been known from Panama. Recent explorations of previously inaccessible cloud forest peaks in western, central, and eastern Panama have turned up additional species previously known only from Costa Rica and Colombia. Three species are now recorded from Panama: M. browallioides, M.

Phytosociological Study, Diversity and Conservation Status of the Cloud Forest in the Dominican Republic. [PDF]
Plants (Basel), 2020 The study of the forest in rainy environments of the Dominican Republic reveals the presence of four types of vegetation formations, clearly differentiated from each other in terms of their floristic and biogeographical composition, and also ...

Evolutionary diversification in the hyper-diverse montane forests of the tropical Andes: radiation ofMacrocarpaea(Gentianaceae) and the possible role of range expansion [PDF]
Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2021 AbstractThe humid mid-elevation montane forests (MMF) of the tropical Andes harbour high levels of plant species diversity, contributing to the exceptional overall diversity of the tropical Andean biodiversity hotspot. However, little is known about the diversification dynamics of MMF plant lineages compared to lineages in other Andean biomes. Here, we

American Journal of Botany, Volume 108, Issue 7, Page 1143-1165, July 2021., 2021 Premise Comprising five families that vastly differ in species richness—ranging from Gelsemiaceae with 13 species to the Rubiaceae with 13,775 species—members of the Gentianales are often among the most species‐rich and abundant plants in tropical forests. Despite considerable phylogenetic work within particular families and genera, several alternative

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 2110-2172, March 2021., 2021 High Andean forests play a key role in providing ecosystem services for neighboring urban settlements. Here, we aimed to identify and understand the effects of anthropogenic perturbations on diversity, composition, and structure of plant communities, as well as aboveground biomass in high Andean forest remnants in the hinterland of Bogotá.
