Eugenia (Myrtaceae) from Mexico: checklist, distribution, and conservation assessments.
Myrtaceae is represented in Mexico by 10 genera and ca. 109 species mainly occurring in warmer climatic zones. Eugenia is one of the most diverse genera in Myrtaceae, with about 1,150 species, distributed from Mexico, Cuba and the Antilles to Uruguay and Argentina, with fewer representatives in Africa and Southeast...Gala, Victor C.

Abstract
Addressing Uncertainties in Machine Learning Predictions of Conservation Status.
Extinction risk assessments are increasingly important to many stakeholders (Bennun et al. 2017) but there remain large gaps in our knowledge about the status of many species. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (IUCN 2019, hereafter Red List) is the most comprehensive assessment of extinction risk. However, it includes...Walker, Barnaby ; Leão, Tarciso ; Bachman, Steven ; Lucas, Eve ; Nic Lughadha, Eimear

Open science tools: Supporting hands-on creation of the "digital extended specimen".
As a biodiversity informatics community, we have mobilised and interconnected a wide array of information, including specimen collections, published literature and metadata resources, which compile facts about collections and the people that work with them. We have defined data standards to facilitate data interoperability and tools development. Along with colleagues...Nicolson, Nicky ; Lucas, Eve

A taxonomic account of Myrcia (Myrtaceae) at the sites of the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project, Amazonas, Brazil.
Abstract Myrcia is the sole genus of the Myrciinae, one of the nine subtribes of Myrteae (Myrtaceae). The Amazon forest holds about one-quarter of the Brazilian species of Myrcia, but the genus is still understudied in this whole region. In this context, this study presents a floristic survey of Myrcia...Gaem, Paulo Henrique ; Lucas, Eve ; Andrade, Ana ; Vicentini, Alberto ; Mazine, Fiorella Fernanda

Evidence-based guidelines for developing automated conservation assessment methods [PREPRINT].
Assessing species’ extinction risk is vital to setting conservation priorities. However, assessment endeavours like the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species have significant gaps in coverage of some taxonomic groups. Automated assessment (AA) methods are gaining popularity to fill these gaps, leveraging improvements in computing and digitally-available information. Choices made...Walker, Barnaby E. ; Leão, Tarciso C.C. ; Bachman, Steven P. ; Lucas, Eve ; Nic Lughadha, Eimear

Genomic insights into rapid speciation within the world’s largest tree genus [PREPRINT].
Species radiations have long fascinated biologists, but the contribution of adaptation to observed diversity and speciation is still an open question. Here, we explore this question using the clove genus, Syzygium, the world’s largest genus of tree species comprising approximately 1200 species. We dissect Syzygium diversity through shotgun sequencing of...Low, Yee Wen ; Rajaraman, Sitaram ; Tomlin, Crystal ; Ahmad, Joffre Ali ; Ardi, Wisnu …

Taxonomic monograph of Eugenia sect. Schizocalomyrtus (Myrtaceae: Myrteae), a group within Eugenia with unusual flowers.
Taxonomic monograph of Eugenia sect. Schizocalomyrtus, supported by molecular and morphological evidence, is presented. The flowers of this section have unusual fused calyces that are contrasted with standard Eugenia flowers with free calyx lobes. Because the fused calyx recurs in Myrtaceae and has been historically misleading for taxonomists, a key...Giaretta, Augusto ; Lucas, Eve ; Sano, Paulo Takeo

Myrcia (Myrtaceae) in the Vale Natural Reserve, Linhares, Espírito Santo, Brazil.
Abstract Myrcia (Myrteae, Myrtaceae) is represented by 101 species in the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo, but local floristic surveys on this genus still lack in this centre of diversity and endemism. In this context, a taxonomic account of Myrcia in the Vale Natural Reserve (VNR), Linhares, Espírito Santo, is...
