Genomic characterization of repetitive DNA and transposable elements in Dyckia (Pitcairnioideae) species [PDF]
BMC Research NotesObjective Repetitive DNA comprises the majority of nuclear genomes in eukaryotes and is critical for genome stability, gene regulation and evolutionary innovation. Yet, most genomic surveys focus on lowcopy regions, leaving repeats underexplored.

Living among thorns: herpetofaunal community (Anura and Squamata) associated to the rupicolous bromeliad Encholirium spectabile (Pitcairnioideae) in the Brazilian semi-arid Caatinga [PDF]
Zoologia (Curitiba), 2020 Bromeliads are important habitats for reptiles and amphibians, and are constantly used as shelter, refuge, foraging or thermoregulation sites due to their foliar architecture, which allows for constant maintenance of humidity and temperature.

Geography, environment and organismal traits in the diversification of a major tropical herbaceous angiosperm radiation. [PDF]
AoB Plants, 2018 The generation of plant diversity involves complex interactions between geography, environment, and organismal traits. Many macroevolutionary processes and emergent patterns have been identified in different plant groups through the study of spatial data,
