Lithobiomes Heterogeneity and Geographic Distance Shape the Landscape Genomics Within Brazilian Mountain Systems [PDF]
Lithological heterogeneity, climatic gradients, and geographic distance may shape the genetic structure of montane plant species, but their combined effects remain underexplored in Neotropical ecosystems.

Just add water: Rainfall-induced anther closure and color change in Ripariosida hermaphrodita (Malvaceae). [PDF]
Daily observations, an experimental greenhouse trial, and time‐lapse photography of Ripariosida hermaphrodita flowers showed that anthers that were purple, open, and shedding pollen became beige colored and tightly closed after rainfall. To our knowledge, our work represents the first report of anther closure in response to rain in the Cotton Family ...

Species Distribution Modeling Reveals Future Climate Refugia and Important Areas for Rocky Plants in Brazil's Iron Quadrangle. [PDF]
Climate change is projected to sharply reduce suitable habitats for eight endemic rupestrian plant species in Brazil's Iron Quadrangle. Ensemble niche models reveal species‐specific vulnerabilities and highlight climatic refugia and corridors that may support persistence.

Floral development and vascularization help to explain merism evolution in Paepalanthus (Eriocaulaceae, Poales) [PDF]
Background Flowers in Eriocaulaceae, a monocot family that is highly diversified in Brazil, are generally trimerous, but dimerous flowers occur in Paepalanthus and a few other genera.

A missing piece is found: a new species of Paepalanthus (Poales, Eriocaulaceae) and the puzzling relations of the campos rupestres mountaintop floras of eastern Minas Gerais, Brazil [PDF]
Paepalanthus is a diverse genus characteristic of the campos rupestres, a megadiverse vegetation found on mountaintops of mainly quartzitic mountain ranges of central-eastern Brazil. Recent efforts on prospecting the biodiversity of Serra do Padre Ângelo,

Plastid Genome Evolution Across the Roridulaceae-Sarraceniaceae Clade (Ericales) in Relation to Carnivorous Strategies. [PDF]
The Roridulaceae–Sarraceniaceae clade exhibits strikingly divergent carnivorous strategies, providing a framework to examine how trophic shifts influence plastid genome evolution. Comparative plastome analyses reveal recurrent ndh gene disruption across species, while Roridula gorgonias shows pronounced genomic restructuring, including elevated ...
