The Blue List Initiative: Guiding Biodiversity Restoration in Brazil's Espinhaço Range
Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 29, Issue 2, April/June 2026.The campo rupestre is a biodiversity hotspot marked by extreme habitat heterogeneity and high species turnover. Using phytosociological data, floristic clustering and zeta diversity, we show that habitats are floristically non‐interchangeable and propose habitat‐ and substrate‐specific Blue Lists to guide effective, locality‐based ecological ...

Brazilian Journal of BiologyIn this study, we hypothesized that the life history traits of Leiothrix spiralis and L. vivipara would be linked to soil factors of the rupestrian grasslands and that rosette size would be influenced by soil moisture.

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.We describe Stachytarpheta forzzae, a new species from an inselberg located in the municipality of Guaratinga, state of Bahia, within the Brazilian Atlantic forest. Morphologically, it resembles S. sprucei, the only other species of the genus known to inhabit inselbergs.

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 2140-2152, February 2026.Summary Ecological network approaches have advanced our understanding of how species interactions influence community and evolutionary dynamics. However, a key limitation is that most network analyses rely solely on visitation data, often overlooking functional aspects of interactions.

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 12, December 2025.We investigated the diversity and composition of termites across various habitats in the Brazilian Savanna. Studies like the one presented here enhance our understanding of the relationships and dynamics between termites and their environments. We found that termite communities were quite distinct, emphasising the importance of considering open ...

Crepuscular pollination and reproductive ecology of Trembleya laniflora (Melastomataceae), an endemic species in mountain rupestrian grasslands [PDF]
Flora, 2018 The “pollination syndrome” hypothesis predicts a direct relationship between a set of floral characters and the principal pollinating agent. The presence of flowers with poricidal anthers, heterostemony and pollen as the only reward are common traits in Melastomataceae species and are associated with buzz pollination by bees. Trembleya laniflora Cong. (

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1520-1531, December 2025.ABSTRACT Wasps, members of over 90 hymenopteran families, exhibit diverse behaviours, including pollination, predation and parasitism. While wasps are known pollinators in specialised systems, such as the intricate mutualism of fig trees and the deceptive pollination of certain orchids, they have historically been considered ineffective pollinators ...
