The Tree Biodiversity Network (BIOTREE-NET): prospects for biodiversity research and conservation in the Neotropics [PDF]

open access: yesBiodiversity & Ecology, 2012
Biodiversity research and conservation efforts in the tropics are hindered by the lack of knowledge of the assemblages found there, with many species undescribed or poorly known. Our initiative, the Tree Biodiversity Network (BIOTREE-NET), aims to ad-dress this problem by assembling georeferenced data from a wide range of sources, making these data ...

Advancing biodiversity assessments with environmental DNA: Long‐read technologies help reveal the drivers of Amazonian fungal diversity

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Fungi are a key component of tropical biodiversity. However, due to their inconspicuous and largely subterranean nature, they are usually neglected in biodiversity inventories.

Reestablishment of Euterpe longevaginata as a species distinct from E. precatoria and their respective typifications [PDF]

open access: yesRodriguésia
The Euterpeae tribe of palms (Arecaceae) is a key structural element in South American rainforests. In the most recent revisional study of the genus Euterpe, Euterpe longevaginata was treated as a variety of E. precatoria, even though the authors of that

The role of the Neotropics as a source of world tetrapod biodiversity [PDF]

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, 2020
AbstractAimThe Neotropics currently host outstanding levels of species richness, with one‐third of the global tetrapod species. The underlying causes of these extraordinary levels of biodiversity are a topic debated in evolutionary ecology, but the main processes at work remain elusive.LocationNeotropics.Time periodCenozoic and Mesozoic.Major taxa ...
