Biome Awareness Disparity is BAD for tropical ecosystem conservation and restor...
Silveira, Fernando A. O.; Ordóñez-Parra, Carlos A.; Moura, Livia C.; Schmidt, Isabel B.; Andersen, Alan N.; Bond, William; Buisson, EliseMade available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:46:24Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01; We introduce the concept of Biome Awareness Disparity (BAD)—defined as a failure to appreciate the significance of all biomes in conservation and restoration policy—and quantify disparities in (a) attention and interest, (b) action and (c) knowledge among biomes in tropical restoration science, practice...

Moonlight, Peter W.; Banda-R, Karina; Phillips, Oliver L.; Dexter, Kyle G.; Pennington, R. Toby; Baker, Tim R.; Lima, Haroldo C. de; Fajardo, LaurieUnderstanding of tropical forests has been revolutionized by monitoring in permanent plots. Data from global plot networks have transformed our knowledge of forests’ diversity, function, contribution to global biogeochemical cycles, and sensitivity to climate change. Monitoring has thus far been concentrated in rain forests. Despite increasing appreciation of their threatened status, biodiversity, and importanc...

Evolutionary heritage influences amazon tree ecology
Souza, Fernanda Coelho de; Dexter, Kyle Graham; Phillips, Oliver L.; Brienen, Roel J.W.; Chave, Jérôme; Galbraith, David R.; Lopez-Gonzalez, GabrielaLineages tend to retain ecological characteristics of their ancestors through time. However, for some traits, selection during evolutionary history may have also played a role in determining trait values. To address the relative importance of these processes requires large-scale quantification of traits and evolutionary relationships among species. The Amazonian tree flora comprises a high diversity of angiospe...
Filling in the gaps of the papilionoid legume phylogeny: The enigmatic Amazonia...
Cardoso, Domingos; São-Mateus, Wallace Messias Barbosa; Cruz, Daiane Trabuco da; Zartman, Charles Eugene; Komura, Dirce Leimi; Kite, Geoffrey C.Recent deep-level phylogenies of the basal papilionoid legumes (Leguminosae, Papilionoideae) have resolved many clades, yet left the phylogenetic placement of several genera unassessed. The phylogenetically enigmatic Amazonian monospecific genus Petaladenium had been believed to be close to the genera of the Genistoid Ormosieae clade. In this paper we provide the first DNA phylogenetic study of Petaladenium and...
Phylogenetic diversity of Amazonian tree communities
Honorio Coronado, Euridice N.; Dexter, Kyle Graham; Pennington, R. Toby; Chave, Jérôme; Lewis, Simon L.; Alexiades, Miguel N.; Alvarez, EstebanAim: To examine variation in the phylogenetic diversity (PD) of tree communities across geographical and environmental gradients in Amazonia. Location: Two hundred and eighty-three c. 1 ha forest inventory plots from across Amazonia. Methods: We evaluated PD as the total phylogenetic branch length across species in each plot (PDss), the mean pairwise phylogenetic distance between species (MPD), the mean nearest...
Inserting tropical dry forests into the discussion on biome transitions in the ...
Dexter, Kyle G.; Pennington, R. Toby; Oliveira- Filho, Ary T.; Bueno, Marcelo L.; Miranda, Pedro L. Silva de; Neves, Danilo M.Tropical moist forests and savannas are iconic biomes. There is, however, a third principal biome in the lowland tropics that is less well known: tropical dry forest. Discussions on responses of vegetation in the tropics to climate and land-use change often focus on shifts between forests and savannas, but ignore dry forests. Tropical dry forests are distinct from moist forests in their seasonal drought stress ...
Systematics, biogeography, and character evolution of the legume tribe Fabeae w...
Schaefer, Hanno; Hechenleitner, Paulina; Santos-Guerra, Arnoldo; Sequeira, Miguel Menezes de; Pennington, R. Toby; Kenicer, Gregory; Carine, MarkBackground: Tribe Fabeae comprises about 380 legume species, including some of the most ancient and important crops like lentil, pea, and broad bean. Breeding efforts in legume crops rely on a detailed knowledge of closest wild relatives and geographic origin. Relationships within the tribe, however, are incompletely known and previous molecular results conflicted with the traditional morphology-based classific...
