Morfoanatomia de órgãos reprodutivos de cinco espécies de malpighiaceae

open access: yes, 2011
A família Malpighiaceae possui 1.200 espécies e 66 gêneros, com importância para as formações florestais e savânicas do Velho e do Novo Mundo. A origem monofilética da família é incontestável, entretanto seus táxons intrafamiliares ainda são bastante ...

Hyperdominance of Exotic Invasive Trees in Street Afforestation of Semi‐Arid Brazilian Cities

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
Cities of the Brazilian semi‐arid region are dominated by non‐native species. Fifty percent of urban afforestation is composed of the invasive species Azadirachta indica. The urbanization gradient does not affect the richness of non‐native species. Cities farther away from the Brazilian coast are mostly biodiversity‐unfriendly.

Floral resource diversity drives spatiotemporal variation in plant–pollinator network structure

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Mechanisms underlying community assembly, including those related to species interactions, vary across space and time. Plant–pollinator networks exemplify these dynamics, where link rewiring and turnover mediate adaptations to environmental changes. Bees rely on diverse floral resources (e.g.

Divergent genetic mechanisms underlie reversals to radial floral symmetry from diverse zygomorphic flowered ancestors

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Malpighiaceae possess flowers with a unique bilateral symmetry (zygomorphy), which is a hypothesized adaptation associated with specialization on neotropical oil bee pollinators.

Beyond Extrafloral Nectaries: Plant Traits as Drivers of Spider Occurrence in the Cerrado

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Patterns of predator occurrence arise from a mosaic of plant‐derived cues, yet most studies address these traits in isolation. Although extrafloral nectaries have received considerable attention, we lack a comprehensive view of how multiple plant traits jointly affect the diversity and abundance of spiders.

Similar genetic mechanisms underlie the parallel evolution of floral phenotypes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
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.
