This review provides a revised and expanded word-formula system of whole-seed primary
dormancy classification that integrates the scheme of Nikolaeva with that of Baskin and …

Andean orogeny is considered as one of the most important events for the development of
current plant diversity in South America. We compare available phylogenetic studies and …

Carbon storage is widely acknowledged as one of the most valuable forest ecosystem
services. Deforestation, logging, fragmentation, fire, and climate change have significant …

A synoptic treatment of the 23 genera of Myrtaceae in Brazil and keys for their identification
are provided, including a general key to all genera, a key to the subtribes, and keys to the …

A new classification of the predominantly Neotropical tribe Myrteae is proposed to replace
Berg's three traditional subtribes, the Myrciinae, Eugeniinae, and Myrtinae. Nine subtribes …

To clarify relationships within the predominantly Neotropical and exclusively fleshy‐fruited
Myrteae (49 genera and c. 2,500 species), we provide a phylogenetic hypothesis for …

Phylogenetic relationships of Myrcia sl, the most species-rich tree genus in the Brazilian
cerrado and Atlantic forests, are reconstructed by analysis, with parsimony and Bayesian …

Abstract Eugenia, comprising ca. 1100 species, is the largest genus of Neotropical
Myrtaceae. Eugenia sect. Umbellatae (formerly referred to as “clade 9”) is the most speciose …

A first phylogenetic hypothesis of Neotropical Eugenia, including associated genera and
species from Africa and the Pacific was produced using DNA sequence data from the …

Many factors shape plant reproductive patterns including climate, competition or attraction of
pollinators and seed dispersers, flower and fruit morphologies and phylogenetic …
