Is the Neotropical Flora Ready for the PhyloCode?

The Botanical Review, 2003
Nomenclatural systems are structured around classification, and together they enable increasingly informed communication about biological diversity. Challengers of Linnaean classification and nomenclature have proposed the PhyloCode, a new set of rules that would govern the way systematists classify and name the diversity of life.

Extinction‐Rate Estimates for a Modern Neotropical Flora

Conservation Biology, 2002
Abstract: Concerns about elevated extinction rates in the tropics are a common feature of the conservation literature, but direct measurements are rare. We present the first quantitative estimates of extinction rate in a complete Neotropical flora based on historical plant‐collection records, quantitative ...

Flora and ecology of a neotropical savanna, Utila, Bay Islands, Honduras

Folia Geobotanica, 2016
Neotropical savannas exhibit unique patterns of diversity of plant and animal life that are poorly understood. Effective conservation of these often imperiled ecosystems requires a basic understanding of species occurrence as well as the site-specific factors that influence plant community composition.

Neotropical Flora’s Contribution to the Development of Biorational Products for Drosophila suzukii Control

Neotropical Entomology
Essential oils (EOs) produced by aromatic plants belonging to different families, such as Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Lauraceae, Myrtaceae, and Piperaceae, are generally suggested as potential sources of new molecules with insecticidal activity. The EOs are constituted bioactive molecules that may have to control Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), a serious ...

Notes on the lichen flora of the Guianas, a neotropical lowland area

1991
Abstract Evaluation of recent collections of lichenized fungi from the Guianas resulted in a new survey of the genera. This showed Lecanorales to be the principal order, comprising 40 per cent of all species, principally in the families Cladoniaceae, Pyxinaceae, and Ramalinaceae, and the Graphidalcs and Pyrenulales to be the second ...
