Polyploidy and polyembryony in Anemopaegma (Bignonieae, Bignoniaceae)
Firetti-Leggieri, Fabiana; Lohmann, Lúcia G.; Alcantara, Suzana; Costa, Itayguara Ribeiro da; Semir, JoãoPolyploidy is a key process in plant evolution, with the asexual formation of embryos representing a way through which polyploids can escape sterility. The association between polyploidy and polyembryony is known to occur in Bignoniaceae. In this study, we investigate polyembryony in four polyploid species of Anemopaegma: A. acutifolium, A. arvense, A. glaucum and A. scabriusculum as well as in one diploid spec...
Environmental correlates of taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity in the Atlanti...
Paz, Andrea; Brown, Jason L.; Cordeiro, Carlos L. O. [UNESP]; Aguirre-Santoro, Julian; Assis, Claydson; Amaro, Renata Cecilia; Raposo do Amaral, FabioMade available in DSpace on 2021-06-25T10:55:53Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01; Aim: There is little consensus on which environmental variables are best at predicting multiple dimensions of diversity. We ask whether there are common environmental correlates of diversity, despite ecological differences, across nine clades of plants and animals distributed along a single rainforest d...
Conceptual and empirical advances in Neotropical biodiversity research
Antonelli, Alexandre; Ariza, María A.; Albert, James Spurling; Andermann, Tobias; Azevedo, Josué A.R.; Bacon, Christine D.; Faurby, SørenThe unparalleled biodiversity found in the American tropics (the Neotropics) has attracted the attention of naturalists for centuries. Despite major advances in recent years in our understanding of the origin and diversification of many Neotropical taxa and biotic regions, many questions remain to be answered. Additional biological and geological data are still needed, as well as methodological advances that ar...
