Over the last two centuries, since the treatment of Leguminosae in Flora Brasiliensis, many
new legume species and genera have been described, adding to the accumulated body of …

In recent attempts to estimate plant and bird species diversity in the Caatinga, the largest
nucleus of the Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest and Woodland biome in South America, we …

The Caatinga biogeographical region, located in the semi-arid region of northeastern Brazil,
is characterized by high levels of cactus diversity and endemism. In this study, we …

The objective determination of boundaries of bioregions is a nontrivial problem. Here we
present a new method family, HespDiv, and an algorithm for its implementation in a new R …

The Mediterranean biome offers a diverse range of habitats, particularly rocky environments,
known for their long-term stability and persistence. Adapted to these rocky surfaces …

For a long time, the taxonomic status of Denscantia, a genus endemic to the Atlantic Forest
along the Brazilian coast, has been a topic of discussion. Phylogenetic analyses using two …

Some plant lineages remain within the same biome over time (biome conservatism),
whereas others seem to adapt more easily to new biomes. The c. 398 species (14 genera) of …

Many biomes still lack an overall view of their macro-functional structure (ie, natural
biogeographical regions and zones), including the Atlantic Forest biodiversity hotspot. The …

Despite growing knowledge on the distribution and functioning of dryland vegetation types,
their internal biodiversity structure (ie, subregions) is much less studied. In the delineation of …

Florestas no mundo todo têm sido impactadas e modificadas por atividades antrópicas. Na
Floresta Tropical Sazonalmente Seca brasileira, a Caatinga, encontra-se uma porcentagem …
