A revised and updated classification for the families of flowering plants is provided. Many recent studies have yielded increasingly detailed evidence for the positions of formerly unplaced families, resulting in a number of newly adopted orders,…

In the last two decades, interest in species distribution models (SDMs) of plants and animals has grown dramatically. Recent advances in SDMs allow us to potentially forecast anthropogenic effects on patterns of biodiversity at different spatial…

Conservationists are far from able to assist all species under threat, if only for lack of funding. This places a premium on priorities: how can we support the most species at the least cost? One way is to identify 'biodiversity hotspots' where…

The Brazilian cerrado (savanna) biome covers 2 million km(2) representing 23 % of the area of the country. II is an ancient biome with rich biodiversity, estimated at 160000 species of plants, fungi and animals. There are about 800 species of trees…

Description Conservation Biology for All provides cutting-edge but basic conservation science to a global readership. A series of authoritative chapters have been written by the top names in conservation biology with the principal aim of…
-
Molecular phylogenetic studies have become a major area of interest in plant systematics, and their impacts on historical biogeographic hypotheses are not to be disregarded. In Brazil, most historical biogeographic studies have relied on animal…

O termo fitofisionomia foi proposto praticamente ao mesmo tempo que o termo formação. O termo bioma, proposto mais tarde, apenas adicionou a fauna à uniformidade fitofisionômica e climática, características desta unidade biológica. Várias…

Species richness is a fundamental measurement of community and regional diversity, and it underlies many ecological models and conservation strategies. In spite of its importance, ecologists have not always appreciated the effects of abundance and…

Although the chloroplast genome contains many noncoding regions, relatively few have been exploited for interspecific phylogenetic and intraspecific phylogeographic studies. In our recent evaluation of the phylogenetic utility of 21 noncoding…

Chloroplast DNA sequences are a primary source of data for plant molecular systematic studies. A few key papers have provided the molecular systematics community with universal primer pairs for noncoding regions that have dominated the field, namely…

This textbook covers Plant Ecology from the molecular to the global level. It covers the following areas in unprecedented breadth and depth: - Molecular ecophysiology (stress physiology: light, temperature, oxygen deficiency, drought, salt, heavy…

Floral evolution has often been associated with differences in pollina- tion syndromes. Recently, this conceptual structure has been criticized on the grounds that flowers attract a broader spectrum of visitors than one might expect based on their…
-
There is growing recognition that classifying terrestrial plant species on the basis of their function into 'functional types') rather than their higher taxonomic identity, is a promising way forward for tackling important ecological questions at…

Com mais de 56.000 espécies de plantas (excluindo fungos), o Brasil tem uma das floras mais ricas do mundo quase 19% da flora mundial. Nosso conhecimento da diversidade e do status das plantas não vasculares no país é ainda muito incompleto, embora…

O Cerrado é um dos hotspots para a conservação da biodiversidade mundial. Nos últimos 35 anos mais da metade dos seus 2 milhões de km2 originais foram cultivados com pastagens plantadas e culturas anuais. O Cerrado possui a mais rica flora dentre as…

Explanations for biogeographic disjunctions involving South America and Africa typically invoke vicariance of western Gondwanan biotas or long distance dispersal. These hypotheses are problematical because many groups originated and diversified well…

The classic Jaccard and Sorensen indices of compositional similarity (and other indices that depend upon the same variables) are notoriously sensitive to sample size, especially for assemblages with numerous rare species. Further, because these…
