Mountain colonization precedes shifts away from bee pollination in Melastomataceae. [PDF]

New Phytol
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 ...

Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...

Beyond buzz-pollination - departures from an adaptive plateau lead to new pollination syndromes. [PDF]

New Phytol, 2019
Summary Pollination syndromes describe recurring adaptation to selection imposed by distinct pollinators. We tested for pollination syndromes in Merianieae (Melastomataceae), which contain bee‐ (buzz‐), hummingbird‐, flowerpiercer‐, passerine‐, bat‐ and rodent‐pollinated species.

Miconia papillosperma (Melastomataceae, Miconieae): a new species from Amazonas, Brazil. [PDF]

PhytoKeys, 2016
Miconia papillosperma, a new species of Melastomataceae shrubs from Northern Brazil is described and illustrated. This new species is characterized by elliptic lanceolate leaves with the only pair of secondary veins running close to the margin. It is also unique in having seeds with a papillose testa, a character until now unknown in the Miconieae. The

Phylogeny and systematics of the tribe Sonerileae (Melastomataceae) in Africa: A revised taxonomic classification

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 657-681, July 2023., 2023
The first in‐depth phylogenetic analysis of African Sonerileae to test monophyly of the currently recognized genera is here presented. Phylogenetic analyses neither support monophyly of the Old World nor African Sonerileae. The genera Calvoa, Dicellandra, Gravesia, and Preussiella form well‐supported clades while Amphiblemma and Cincinnobotrys are not ...

Character evolution and biogeography of Casearia (Salicaceae): Evidence for the South American origin of a pantropical genus and for multiple migrations to the Caribbean islands

TAXON, Volume 71, Issue 2, Page 321-347, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Casearia (Salicaceae) is a pantropical genus of circa 200 species, around half of which dwell in the Neotropics. Despite the availability of phylogenetic studies that suggest that Casearia sensu Sleumer is not monophyletic, a strong phylogenetic framework was still lacking for this genus.

Historical biogeography of the Southeast Asian and Malesian tribe Dissochaeteae (Melastomataceae)

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 60, Issue 2, Page 237-252, March 2022., 2022
Abstract The region of Tropical Southeast Asia and the Malay Archipelago is a very appealing area for research due to its outstanding biodiversity, being one of the most species‐rich areas in the world with high levels of endemism, and due to its complex geological history.

Molecular phylogenetics of the Dissochaeta alliance (Melastomataceae): Redefining tribe Dissochaeteae

TAXON, Volume 70, Issue 4, Page 793-825, August 2021., 2021
Abstract The Dissochaeta alliance (= subtribe Dissochaetinae) is a group of woody climbing taxa within tribe Dissochaeteae (Melastomataceae) and comprises 90 species mainly distributed in Southeast Asia. The circumscription of the alliance and its genera has been problematic when based on only morphological characters. With a broad sampling of relevant
