The origin and morphological character evolution of the paleotropical woody bamboos [PDF]

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 66, Issue 10, Page 2242-2261, October 2024.
The woody bamboos (Bambusoideae) exhibit distinctive biological traits within Poaceae, such as highly lignified culms, rapid shoot growth, monocarpic mass flowering and nutlike or fleshy caryopses.

A review of the woody bamboos (Poaceae: Bambusoideae: Bambuseae) of Trinidad and Tobago

Advances in Bamboo Science
Trinidad and Tobago are important islands to Neotropical woody bamboo taxonomy. Trinidad is a type locality for two widely applied names with poorly defined species concepts: Arthrostylidium pubescens and A. excelsum, and two potentially endemic species:

The stepwise rise of angiosperm-dominated terrestrial ecosystems. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT Angiosperms are the most diverse and abundant plant taxon today and dominate the majority of Earth's terrestrial ecosystems. They underwent rapid divergence and biogeographic expansion from the early to the middle Cretaceous. Yet, transformative ecosystem change brought about by the increased ecological dominance of angiosperms unfolded ...

Biogeography and divergence time estimates of woody bamboos: insights in the evolution of Neotropical bamboos

Botan‪ical Sciences, 2011
The Neotropical woody bamboos are a monophyletic lineage with three subtribes in the Bambusoideae: Arthrostylidiinae, Chusqueinae and Guaduainae. The geographical distribution of these subtribes extends from Mexico, Central America, Caribbean Islands ...

Specialization on bamboo by Neotropical birds [PDF]

, 2013
Ornithologists have long marveled at the many species of neotropical forest birds found in close association with woody bamboos (Poaceae: Bambuseae). Over 400 species of woody bamboos occur in the neotropics, a total second only to southeast Asia, which ...

Classification and Biogeography of New World Grasses: Anomochlooideae, Pharoideae, Ehrhartoideae, and Bambusoideae [PDF]

, 2007
Molecular data support Anomochlooideae and Pharoideae as the two most basal extant clades within Poaceae. Anomochlooideae are endemic to the New World and have two tribes and two genera including the widespread Streptochaeteae (3–4 spp.) and the ...

Past human‐induced ecological legacies as a driver of modern Amazonian resilience

People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 1415-1429, October 2023., 2023
Abstract People have modified landscapes throughout the Holocene (the last c. 11,700 years) by modifying soils, burning forests, cultivating and domesticating plants, and directly and indirectly enriched and depleted plant abundances. These activities also took place in Amazonia, which is the largest contiguous piece of rainforest in the world, and for

Effects of harvesting on the structure of a neotropical woody bamboo (otatea: guaduinae) populations

, 2004
Natural populations of Otatea acuminata (Munro) C.E. Calderón Soderstr. subsp. aztecorum (McClure E.W. Smith) R. Guzmán, Anaya Santana-Michel were studied in the Sierra de Manantlán, Jalisco-Colima, in Western Mexico. The objectives were to compare the structure of otate populations at different harvesting levels, in order to evaluate the changes ...

Diversity and biogeography of neotropical bamboos (Poaceae: Bambusoideae) Diversidade e biogeografia de bambus (Poaceae: Bambusoideae)

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 1990
The present paper analyses the distribution of bamboos in New World. For convenience, bamboos are divided into two broad groups, the woody bamboos and the herbaceous bamboos.

Historia Natural, Distribución y Conservación de Dos Especies Nómades de Sporophila que se Alimentan de Semillas de Bambú en la Selva Atlántica [PDF]

, 2013
Los bambúes leñosos semélparos florecen de manera bastante sincrónica y de modo cronométrico cada muchos años, proveyendo semillas abundantes y nutritivas. Sin embargo, este recurso es efímero, local e impredecible desde la perspectiva de las aves que se
