Beyond forests: Harnessing conservation gardening for open biomes in Brazil
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Urban gardening offers an innovative conservation strategy by integrating native ornamental species into urban landscapes. We evaluated the ornamental potential of the Brazilian flora by comparing the representation of species from forests versus open biomes (focusing on campo rupestre grasslands) and introduced and validated the Index of Ornamental ...

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Eriophyid mites reprogram the structural and biochemical traits of sclerophyllous leaves in Crinodendron patagua, promoting the formation of nutrient‐rich and protective gall tissues. Abstract Sclerophyllous plants present a suite of traits, including small, leathery leaves with thick cuticles, dense trichomes and sclerified tissues, which are often ...

Plant Biology, EarlyView.By comparing floral trait variation, integration and modularity in two sister species of Neotropical Costus with a pollination shift, we show that, despite pollination syndrome divergence, both species exhibit low floral variation and functional modularity, consistent with pollinator‐driven selection on traits mediating pollen transfer efficiency and ...

A Monograph of Conostegia (Melastomataceae, Miconieae) [PDF]
PhytoKeys, 2016 A recent molecular phylogenetic analysis identified a clade containing all species of Conostegia, but that also included species of Clidemia and Miconia nested inside. A taxonomic revision of a more broadly circumscribed Conostegia is presented here. In total, 77 species of Conostegia are recognized.

Reproductive biology of Bellucia (MELASTOMATACEAE) [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 1986 The reproductive biology of five of the seven species of Bellucia (Melastomataceae), a genus of shrubs and small trees, was investigated in Amazonia. Sucessful fruit-set by Bellucia requires floral visitation by bees. The flowers are produced continuously all year, and are visited by a wide variety of female bees, the principal pollinators being ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Grassy wetlands of the Cerrado provide key ecosystem services but remain largely overlooked and are rapidly disappearing, threatened by land use change and climate‐driven changes in hydrological cycles. As restoration initiatives are urgent, reference ecosystems and robust indicators are essential to guide conservation and ...
