A Monograph of Conostegia (Melastomataceae, Miconieae). [PDF]
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.

Taxonomic notes on Pleiochiton (Melastomataceae - Miconieae) [PDF]
Here we propose lectotypification for Melastoma coccinea and Pleiochiton glaziovianum, neotypification for Clidemia suffruticosa, new combinations for C. blepharodes and C. parasitica into Pleiochiton, and the synonymization of C.

: Phylogenetic analyses show that a group of species of Miconia (Melastomataceae: Miconieae) from the Greater Antilles all form a clade. They share the presence of backward-deflexed filaments with the entire androecium turning pink to red after anthesis ...

Taxonomic notes on Leandra (Melastomataceae, Miconieae) [PDF]
In this paper we propose 11 synonyms and six lectotypes for eastern Brazilian species of Leandra. Leandra urophylla and L. nutans are placed in the synonymy of L. acutiflora; Leandra atropurpurea in the synonymy of L.

Seeing the forest through many trees: multi-taxon patterns of phylogenetic diversity in the Atlantic Forest hotspot [PDF]
We combine phylogenetic and point locality data from selected lineages of the Atlantic Forest flora and fauna to compare spatial patterns of biodiversity sustained by the current configuration of forest remnants to a scenario of complete forest ...

Miconiagaragoana - Melastomataceae: A new rheophytic species from the eastern Andes of Colombia. [PDF]
A new species, Miconia garagoana, from riparian environments of the northern Cordillera Oriental of Colombia, is described. This is the second species exclusive to rheophytic conditions that grows in the Andean forest in Colombia and is characterized by ...

New combinations in the Neotropical genus Miconia (Melastomataceae: Miconieae)
In our published monograph of the Octopleura clade of Miconia (Ruiz & Pavón 1794: 60), we proposed a number of new combinations and new names to reflect the nested position of this group of 33 species within the large and megadiverse neotropical genus ...

Mountain colonization precedes shifts away from bee pollination in Melastomataceae. [PDF]
Summary Shifts among different groups of pollinators are central in the evolution of flowering plants, yet mechanisms underlying pollinator shifts remain unclear. Environment‐induced reduction in pollinator availability and hence efficiency may destabilize ancestral plant–pollinator interactions and trigger shifts to new, more efficient pollinators ...

Primers for low-copy nuclear genes in the Melastomataceae. [PDF]
Premise of the study: Low‐copy nuclear gene primers were developed for phylogenetic studies across the Melastomataceae. Methods and Results: Total genomic libraries from eight species in the Melastomataceae along with one transcriptome were used for marker identification and primer design.
