Investigating the floral and reproductive biology of the endangered microendemi...
Teixeira, Valber Dias; Verola, Christiano Franco; Costa, Itayguara Ribeiro da; Zappi, Daniela C.; Costa, Grênivel Mota da; Silva, Suelma RibeiroThe Cactaceae are known to be amongst the most endangered plant families of the world due to reduction of their habitats and activities of collectors. As the species of the family are dependent on animals to perform cross pollination, and hence seed production, their population performance may be further negatively affected by interrupted biotic interactions. For efficient conservation of rare species, knowledg...
Pleistocene radiation of coastal species of Pilosocereus (Cactaceae) in eastern...
Menezes, Marcelo O.T.; Zappi, Daniela C.; Moraes, Evandro M.; Franco, Fernando F.; Taylor, Nigel P.; Costa, Itayguara R; Loiola, Maria I.B.The semiarid region in Northeast Brazil (Caatinga) suffered several high moisture periods during the Pleistocene, while neighbouring regions experienced drying events. Effects of this climatic history on the evolution of Caatinga xeric flora are poorly understood. Demography and evolutionary relationships between Pilosocereus arrabidae and Pilosocereus catingicola (Cactaceae) were investigated using two noncodi...

Growing knowledge : an overview of seed plant diversity in Brazil.
Zappi, Daniela C.; Filardi, Fabiana L. Ranzato; Leitman, Paula; Souza, Vinícius C.; Walter, Bruno M.T.; Pirani, José R.; Morim, Marli P.Um levantamento atualizado das plantas com sementes e análises relevantes acerca desta biodiversidade são apresentados. Este trabalho se iniciou em 2010 com a publicação do Catálogo de Plantas e Fungos e, desde então vem sendo atualizado por mais de 430 especialistas trabalhando online. O Brasil abriga atualmente 32.086 espécies nativas de Angiospermas e 23 espécies nativas de Gimnospermas e estes novos dados m...
