The ability of plants to attract pollinators is context‐dependent, influenced by floral traits, abundance, and resources from the plant community. Indirect interactions through shared pollinators, from competition to facilitation, may lead to varied reproductive outputs in plants, and the mechanisms behind these interactions remain to be fully ...

Crypticerya zeteki (Cockerell, 1914) (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Monophlebidae) is recorded for the first time from Brazil and Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green, 1908) (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Pseudococcidae) is recorded for the first time from the state of ...

Abstract The tempo and mode of assembly of the world's most diverse, tropical floras remain poorly known. Evolutionary relationships within pantropical plant clades such as Connaraceae (Oxalidales, ca. 220 species) offer an opportunity to address this issue.

The Blue List Initiative: Guiding Biodiversity Restoration in Brazil's Espinhaço Range
The campo rupestre is a biodiversity hotspot marked by extreme habitat heterogeneity and high species turnover. Using phytosociological data, floristic clustering and zeta diversity, we show that habitats are floristically non‐interchangeable and propose habitat‐ and substrate‐specific Blue Lists to guide effective, locality‐based ecological ...

Hybridity of mainly asexually propagating duckweeds in genus Lemna – dead end or breakthrough?
Summary The cosmopolitan, mainly vegetatively propagating, organ‐reduced monocotyledonous aquatic duckweeds are the smallest and fastest growing angiosperms, distributed world‐wide and flower rarely in nature. Recently, we reported intra‐ and interspecific hybrids and ploidy variants in the genus Lemna.

Malpighiaceae possess flowers with a unique bilateral symmetry (zygomorphy), which is a hypothesized adaptation associated with specialization on neotropical oil bee pollinators.

Monograph of Lophopterys (Malpighiaceae)
Lophopterys Adr. Juss. is a South American genus of Malpighiaceae comprising seven species, two of which are described here as new (L. floribunda W. R. Anderson & C. C. Davis and L. occidentalis W. R. Anderson & C. C. davis). The taxonomic history, morphology, circumscription, and systematic position of the genus are discussed, with the conclusion that

Wing and Pappus Appendages Decrease Seed Terminal Velocity: A Meta‐Analysis
This meta‐analysis integrated terminal velocity records for 1479 species from various sources and explored descriptive patterns by taxonomic group, seed dispersal vector, and seed appendage type. This study revealed that wing and pappus appendage decrease seed terminal velocity with a robust analysis using regression models to predict terminal velocity.

Similar genetic mechanisms underlie the parallel evolution of floral phenotypes. [PDF]
The repeated origin of similar phenotypes is invaluable for studying the underlying genetics of adaptive traits; molecular evidence, however, is lacking for most examples of such similarity.

Patterns of Tree Species Abundance and Diversity on Urban Sidewalks in Macapá, Amapá, Brazil
This study presents the first systematic inventory of street trees in Macapá, Northeastern Brazilian Amazon. Results reveal a dominance of exotic and fruit‐bearing species, low tree density, and a replacement of large canopy trees by smaller ones, indicating potential losses in ecosystem services and the need for more biodiversity‐focused afforestation
