The modern concept of DNA-based barcoding for cataloguing biodiversity was proposed in
2003 by first adopting an approximately 600 bp fragment of the mitochondrial COI gene to …

Abstract The Marcetia alliance of Melastomataceae is an exclusively Neotropical group that
includes at least 12 genera of mostly herbs and subshrubs, occurring in the cerrado of …

Phylogenetic relationships within Miconia and other genera in the Neotropical tribe
Miconieae were investigated using a maximum parsimony analysis of nuclear internal …

Microlicieae are a monophyletic tribe comprising seven genera: Chaetostoma, Lavoisiera,
Microlicia ss, Poteranthera, Rhynchanthera, Stenodon and Trembleya. Microlicia ss includes …

In this study we present a phylogenetic analysis of Melastomeae, focusing on the
Neotropical members of the tribe, a group of c. 70 species in 30 genera. In total, 236 …

Pollination syndromes describe recurring adaptation to selection imposed by distinct
pollinators. We tested for pollination syndromes in Merianieae (Melastomataceae), which …

Species of plants with different life history strategies may differ in their seed dispersal
mechanisms, impacting their distribution and diversification patterns. Shorter or longer …

The Melastomataceae, with ca. 177 genera and 5858 species, are among the ten most
species-rich families of angiosperms. Previous molecular phylogenetic analyses have …
