The effects of climate change on the distribution of South American antbirds (Thamnophilus punctatus complex) as affected by niche divergences and contact zone interactions between species
Several studies have shown that climatic change has been accelerating due to human activities, leading to dramatic effects on biodiversity. Modeling studies describe how species have reacted in the past to climatic change, and this information can help us to understand the degree of biotic susceptibility to current and future...da Silva, Erasmo Andrade ; de Araujo, Helder Farias Pereira ; Aleixo, Alexandre ; Antonelli, Alexandre ; Fernandes, Alexandre

Advances and perspectives on the evolutionary history and diversification of Neotropical Myrteae (Myrtaceae).
Myrtaceae are one of the largest families of flowering plants and are widely distributed in the Neotropics, where they are mainly represented by the tribe Myrteae. Myrteae are the most species-rich tribe of Myrtaceae and include groups with significant ecological and economic importance. Myrteae are considered to be a model...Phylogenetics, Species diversity, Evolutionary trends, Systematics, Neotropics, and South America

Two new species of Pontederia L. (Pontederiaceae Kunth) to South America.
Two new species of Pontederia are here described and illustrated. Pontederia gigantea is similar to P. sagittata by its sagittate leaf blade, but the first one presents blue flowers while the second one has whitish to pinkish flowers. Besides that, P. gigantea is endemic to Brazil, occurring in small populations...Sousa, Danilo J.L. ; Siqueira, Gabriela B. ; Giulietti, Ana Maria

Diversity and Taxonomy of Cyperus (Cyperaceae) in the Central-West Region of Brazil.
A taxonomic study of Cyperus L. (Cyperaceae) in the Central-West region of Brazil is presented. We examined more than 1300 herbarium specimens. Many of the species were also studied in the field. Our results recognize 59 species of Cyperus in the Central-West of Brazil, including three species endemic to the...
