Diversity, Endemism, and Evolutionary History of Montane Biotas Outside the Andean Region
Mountain ranges are important centers of biodiversity around the world. This high diversity is the result of the presence of different soil types and underlying bedrock, a variety of micro-climatic regimes, high topographic heterogeneity, a heterogeneous and complex vegetation cline, and a dynamic geo-climatic history. Neotropical research on mountains has... -

Covering ancient geomorphological landscapes, and surrounded by some of the most diverse forests on Earth, the Neotropical savannas were once perceived by naturalists as ancient environments. However, current evidence suggests that tropical forests have existed in the Neotropics since the Paleocene, whereas most plant lineages present in South American savannas... -

Techniques and key issues in collecting crop wild relatives.
From the collectors’ point of view there are two major research constraints that have impacted our ability to make sufficient high-quality, genetically diverse Crop Wild Relative (CWR) collections over the last two decades First, in contrast to the relatively uniform and well-documented flowering and fruiting of crops, populations of CWR...Way, Michael
