Podocarpaceae in Tropical Forests: A Synthesis [PDF]

Smithsonian Contributions to Botany, 2011
The Podocarpaceae comprises 18 genera and about 173 species of evergreen, coniferous trees and shrubs. It is the most successful gymnosperm family in angiosperm-dominated tropical forests (Brodribb, this volume). Podocarps are distributed mainly in the Southern Hemisphere, with populations also extending as far north as China and Japan and to Mexico ...

Flora da Bahia: Podocarpaceae

SITIENTIBUS série Ciências Biológicas, 2016
The flora of Podocarpaceae, the only family of gymnosperms native to Bahia, Brazil, is presented here. Two species of Podocarpus are recognized: P. lambertii, occurring in the Chapada Diamantina region, and P. sellowii, occurring in the Chapada Diamantina and also in the montane and submontane forests in southern Bahia. Descriptions, identification key,

Ecology of the Podocarpaceae in Tropical Forests

Smithsonian Contributions to Botany, 2011
The emergence of angiosperms in tropical forests at the expense of the gymnosperms, their ancestral relatives, was one of the most important events in the evolutionary history of terrestrial plants. Gymnosperms were nearly eliminated from the tropics after the evolution of angiosperms in the early Cretaceous, yet conifers of the Podocarpaceae are among

The evolution of Hutchinsonian climatic niche hypervolumes in gymnosperms

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The niche is a fundamental concept in theoretical and experimental ecology and is used to describe a wide range of ecological processes from species' interactions with the environment to community assemblies. A common way to represent the niche is through a multidimensional geometry known as the Hutchinsonian niche hypervolume.

Diversity-Elevation Relationships of Vascular Plants in Austral Temperate Ecosystems Are Strata Dependent. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated diversity patterns of vascular plants of overstorey and understorey vegetation separately per stratum and the influence of anthropogenic disturbances along two elevational transects with contrasting slope aspects in a temperate rainforest and alpine scrub in southern Chile.
