A Preliminary Evaluation of The Karst Flora of Brazil Using Collections Data
Karst is defined as landscapes that are underlain by soluble rock in which there is appreciable water movement arising from a combination of high rock solubility and well-developed secondary (fracture) porosity. Karsts occupy approximately 20% of the planet’s dry ice-free land and are of great socioeconomic importance, as they supply...Bystriakova, Nadia ; Alves De Melo, Pablo Hendrigo ; Moat, Justin ; Lughadha, Eimear Nic ; Monro, Alexandre K.

Phylogenetic comparative methods improve the selection of characters for generic delimitations in a hyperdiverse Neotropical orchid clade
Taxonomic delimitations are challenging because of the convergent and variable nature of phenotypic traits. This is evident in species-rich lineages, where the ancestral and derived states and their gains and losses are difficult to assess. Phylogenetic comparative methods help to evaluate the convergent evolution of a given morphological character, thus...Bogarín, Diego ; Pérez-Escobar, Oscar A. ; Karremans, Adam P. ; Fernández, Melania ; Kruizinga, Jaco …

Genomics of sorghum local adaptation to a parasitic plant
Host–parasite coevolution can maintain high levels of genetic diversity in traits involved in species interactions. In many systems, host traits exploited by parasites are constrained by use in other functions, leading to complex selective pressures across space and time. Here, we study genome-wide variation in the staple crop Sorghum bicolor...Bellis, Emily S. ; Kelly, Elizabeth A. ; Lorts, Claire M. ; Gao, Huirong ; DeLeo, Victoria L. …
