Adelobotrys atlantica (Melastomataceae: Merianieae): the first species of Adelobotrys from Brazil’s Mata Atlântica

Kew Bulletin, 2008
A new species of Adelobotrys DC., A. atlantica Schulman, is described and illustrated. This is the first record of the genus in the Atlantic rainforests of Brazil. The only known specimen of the new species was collected in 1943 close to the sizeable city of Ilheus in an area that has probably now been converted to managed land.

Adelobotrys tessmannii (Merianieae, Melastomataceae) and allies: a refined circumscription and description of two new Amazonian species with notes on their ecology

Phytotaxa, 2015
Adelobotrys tessmannii is re-circumscribed and a lectotype is designated. Two new species, A. latifolius and A. microcarpus, are described, and all three species are illustrated. They have a Western Amazonian, broadly sympatric distribution, which is depicted. Field surveys and chemical soil analyses presented show that A.

Floral trait convergence and functional differentiation concomitant with pollinator shifts in Merianieae (Melastomataceae)

2018
Flowers are complex and highly integrated structures with different types of organs co-functioning to achieve pollinator attraction and pollen transfer. Relative independence (modularity) of some organs from others (e.g., perianth organs from reproductive organs) has been thought to increase the potential for adaptive evolution.

Exploring how stamen morphology changes across elevation and pollination systems in Merianieae (Melastomataceae)

Die Tribus Merianieae (Melastomataceae) hat unterschiedliche Strategien zur Optimierung des Pollentransfers evolviert, indem sie auf Bestäuber variierender Qualität und Quantität setzt. In höheren Lagen haben extremere abiotische Bedingungen zu einer Verschiebung von Vibrationsbestäubung durch Bienen hin zu Bestäubung durch Sperlingsvögel oder ...

Foraging preferences of bees and birds – assessing the adaptive value of heteranthery in flowers of Merianieae (Melastomataceae)

2019
Heteranthery describes flowers with two or more types of stamens that differ in colour, size and/or shape and it is particularly common in bee-pollinated plants. The evolution of heteranthery has been explained by a ‘division-of-labour’ hypothesis driven by the dual function of pollen as pollinator reward and as male gametes.

Phylogenomics of the Merianieae (Melastomataceae) bring new perspectives for its systematics, biogeography and macroevolution

The tribe Merianieae (Melastomataceae) is a group of trees, lianas and herbs distributed in the American tropics. It contains ca. 288 species within 7 genera. The tribe is distributed in both lowland and highland rainforests, from southern Mexico and Central America, the Greater Antilles to the Central Andes, and eastwards to the Atlantic rain forest ...
