Leguminosae Juss. is the third most diverse family among angiosperms, comprising around 800 genera and 22,000 species with a cosmopolitan distribution. It is currently divided into six subfamilies: Caesalpinoideae (including the former Mimosoideae clade), Cercidoideae, Detarioideae, Dialioideae, Duparquetioideae, and Papilionoideae. The latter is the most diverse, with over 500 genera and…
Dry environments occur in some of Earth's dominant biomes, covering over 40% of the planet's land area. These environments are expanding and under imminent risk of desertification due to climate change. In South America, dry environments are concentrated in two diagonals: the western South American Dry Diagonal (wSADD) which encompasses Patagonia, Puna, and the deserts of the Pacific coas…
Eriosema (DC.) Desv. has pantropical distribution, with two main centers of diversity for about 150 species, one in Africa and one in the Americas, whereis registered the occurrence of 38 species, of which 30 occur in Brazil. The genus is included in Phaseoleae tribe, Cajaninaesubtribe, which has been considered monophyletic in current phylogenies. In contrast, little is known about the i…
Abstract: The Andean mountains exerted an important role in the formation of the Western South American Dry Diagonal (wSADD), which comprehends the Peruvian and Atacama deserts, Puna, the Monte desert, and the Patagonian steppes. However, little is known about how geological-climatic processes affected the distribution of species in the wSADD and adjacent environments. There is urgency in…
Rhynchosia Lour. has a pantropical distribution, presenting two main centers of diversity for about 230 species, one in Africa (140 spp.) and another in the Americas, where 55 species are recorded, of which 19 occur in Brazil. The most recent taxonomic treatment to genus was published by Grear in 1978, which treated only the American species. Morphologically, Rhynchosia is fairly uniform,…
The Andes are home to approximately 10% of the world's vascular plant diversity. This diversity follows a latitudinal gradient, with the northern Andes exhibiting the highest species richness. Some biogeographical patterns responsible for the plant diversity in the Andes are partially elucidated, especially concerning the neotropical region. For instance, some lineages colonized the Andea…
