Repeated evolution of pollination syndromes in a highly diverse bromeliad lineage is correlated with shifts in life form and habitat.
Mutualistic plant-pollinator interactions play a critical role in the diversification of flowering plants. The spatiotemporal correlates of such interactions can be understood in a phylogenetic context. Here, we generate ddRAD-seq data for the highly diverse Vriesea-Stigmatodon lineage to test for correlated trait evolution among pollination syndromes and life form, habitat... -

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... -

Quantifying and mapping angiosperm endemism in the Araucaria Forest.
Neotropical forests are home to exceptional biodiversity, especially along the eastern coast of tropical and subtropical South America. In the Atlantic Forest, the subtropical Araucaria Forest harbours both tropical and temperate plant lineages. Is the presence of Araucaria angustifolia the only attribute characterizing the south-eastern South American Araucaria Forest, or... -

Biogeography, phylogenetic relationships and morphological analyses of the South American genus Mutisia L.f. (Asteraceae) shows early connections of two disjunct biodiversity hotspots
The Andes is recognized as one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, promoting in its uplift process a series of recent rapid diversification events in different biotic groups like birds, mammals, insects and vascular plants. The uplift of the Andes during the Cenozoic acted as a barrier for many... -

Pollinators drive floral evolution in an Atlantic Forest genus
Pollinators are important drivers of angiosperm diversification at both micro and macroevolutionary scales. Both hummingbirds and bats pollinate the species-rich and morphologically diverse genus Vriesea across its distribution in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Here, we (1) determine if floral traits predict functional groups of pollinators as documented, confirming the pollination... -

A new species of Plinia (Myrtaceae) from the Bahia Atlantic Forest.
The Brazilian Atlantic Forest is one of the most diverse biomes in the world. The state of Bahia includes an important portion of the central corridor of Atlantic Forest that runs along the Brazilian coast. Myrtaceae is a dominant family of trees in this biome, and among its genera, Plinia...Stadnik, Aline ; da Costa Souza, Marcelo ; Lucas, Eve ; Roque, Nádia

Two new species of Connarus (Connaraceae) from Brazilian Atlantic Forest.
Two new species of Connarus are here described and illustrated: C. aureus and C. tomentosus. These taxa are until now known only to the Atlantic Forest in Southeastern Brazil. Diagnostic characteristics of the new species and an identification key of Connarus from Bahia and Espírito Santo states are provided, along...Toledo, Cássio A.
