The global abundance of tree palms.
Aim Palms are an iconic, diverse and often abundant component of tropical ecosystems that provide many ecosystem services. Being monocots, tree palms are evolutionarily, morphologically and physiologically distinct from other trees, and these differences have important consequences for ecosystem services (e.g., carbon sequestration and storage) and in terms of responses... -

Evolutionary diversity in tropical tree communities peaks at intermediate precipitation
Global patterns of species and evolutionary diversity in plants are primarily determined by a temperature gradient, but precipitation gradients may be more important within the tropics, where plant species richness is positively associated with the amount of rainfall. The impact of precipitation on the distribution of evolutionary diversity, however, is...Neves, Danilo M. ; Dexter, Kyle G. ; Baker, Timothy R. ; Coelho de Souza, Fernanda ; Oliveira-Filho, Ary T. …
