Mapping density, diversity and species-richness of the Amazon tree flora.
Using 2.046 botanically-inventoried tree plots across the largest tropical forest on Earth, we mapped tree species-diversity and tree species-richness at 0.1-degree resolution, and investigated drivers for diversity and richness. Using only location, stratified by forest type, as predictor, our spatial model, to the best of our knowledge, provides the most... -

Eriocaulaceae in the Brazilian Amazon and the use of Species Distribution Modelling in its conservation.
Abstract Following a survey in herbaria in Brazil and abroad, complemented by a survey of the literature and searches of biodiversity data, 66 taxa of Eriocaulaceae have been identified in the Brazilian Amazon, as defined by the states of Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Pará, Rondônia and Roraima. Six genera of Eriocaulaceae...Potential geographic distribution modeling, Geographical distribution, Species conservation, Eriocaulaceae, Brazil, and Amazon

Three new species of Myrcia sect. Myrcia (Myrtaceae) from South America.
Three new species of Myrcia are described, illustrated and discussed. Myrcia rionegrensis from the Brazilian Amazon is related to M. clusiifolia from which it differs in having leaves with acute apex and ribbed fruits (vs. rounded apex and smooth fruits in M. clusiifolia); Myrcia microcalyx is similar to Myrcia scytophylla...Lima Dos Santos, Leidiana ; Vasconcelos, Thaís N.C. ; Ferreira de Sales, Margareth ; Lucas, Eve

The role of Quaternary glaciations in shaping biogeographic patterns in a recently evolved clade of South American epiphytic orchids.
To contribute to what is known about involvement of vegetation dynamics in Neotropical speciation, we used the Epidendrum latilabre complex, a taxonomically well-defined species group, to investigate past connections between Amazonian (AM) and Atlantic (AF) forests and address the following topics: (1) divergence times between sister species currently distributed in...
