Resolving the early‐diverging clades of Loasaceae subfam. Loasoideae – Segregating the new genus Prosa from the Atacama Desert genus Huidobria

TAXON, Volume 74, Issue 1, Page 101-116, February 2025.

Endemism Centres of the Five Richest Vascular Epiphyte Families in the Neotropics

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 1, Page 80-91, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Endemic species, characterised by limited geographic ranges, face a high risk of extinction. The neotropical region harbours diverse ecosystems and a substantial number of endemic species, thus identifying areas of high endemism is crucial for protecting unique and threatened species and ecosystems.
