A digital base map for studying the Neotropical flora

Taxon, 2004
Despite advances in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote–sensing technology and software, to date most systematists and other botanists working on the Neotropical flora, particularly on the monographic series Flora Neotropica , have used hard–copy maps.

Neotropical savannas: Their flora and vegetation

Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 1987
Covering approximately three million km(2), the savannas, the second largest major plant formation in the American tropics, are gaining increasing importance for land planning and occupational strategies. There has been much recent research on the floristic and ecological characteristics of these herbaceous ecosystems, resulting in considerable ...

Notes on the Nomenclature of Neotropical Capparaceae: An Answer to Global flora

Harvard Papers in Botany, 2018
The 90 new combinations on Neotropical Capparaceae published in The Global Flora (Plant Gateway, 2018) are here discussed and clarified. On the basis of morphologic and molecular studies, the name of Morisonia L. cannot be applied in a broad sense for all Neotropical Capparaceae.

BREEDING SYSTEMS AND SEED SIZE IN A NEOTROPICAL FLORA: TESTING EVOLUTIONARY HYPOTHESES

Ecology, 2008
A well‐known, but largely untested, prediction in plant reproductive ecology is that dioecious taxa should produce larger, more, higher‐quality, or better‐defended seeds than cosexual taxa. Using a data set composed of 972 species in 104 families, representing the flora of the Tambopata Wildlife Reserve (Madre de Dios, Peru), we evaluated the first ...

Biotic and abiotic factors in promoting the starting point of hybridization in the Neotropical flora: implications for conservation in a changing world

Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2022
AbstractCoevolution between floral traits and specific pollination behaviour is a significant evolutionary force in angiosperm diversification. However, hybridization is also reported to occur between plants with specialist pollination syndromes. Understanding the role of pollinators in plant diversification is crucial, especially in megadiverse ...

Tracing the impact of the Andean uplift on Neotropical plant evolution

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2009
Recent phylogenetic studies have revealed the major role played by the uplift of the Andes in the extraordinary diversification of the Neotropical flora.
