• Abstract

  Calophyllaceae (= Kielmeyeroideae in Clusiaceae s.l.) is composed of 13 genera and about 460 neo- and paleotropical species. The majority (12 genera) forms the tribe Calophylleae. Within this tribe there is a clade formed by the genera (Kielmeyera (Caraipa + Haploclathra)) strongly supported as monophyletic. Together the genera comprise about 80 spp. Kielmeyera, with about 47 spp., occurs…

• Abstract

  Weeds are a large and heterogeneous group of plants which spontaneously grow in places of economic importance (cities, gardens, agroecosystems, etc.) or invade natural ecosystems. The erradication of weeds in agroecosystems and urban regions is very expensive and the invasion of natural ecosystems by these aliens can cause severe ecological damage. There exist some illustrated books to id…

• Abstract

  Clarifying taxonomic identities in species complexes allow allocating conservation efforts to endemic and/or threatened taxa. For this purpose, employing several evidences is important and, in this context, biological collections are potential sources of good information. Thus, this project aims to infer limits of the taxa of the Myrcia neoobscura complex (Myrcia sect. Aulomyrcia, Myrtace…

• Abstract

  Ruderal species are plant species typically found in anthropic environments. There are relatively few studies on their floral and reproductive biology. They tend to go unnoticed in the eyes of the general population. However, these plants can have considerable ecological importance. This project aims to fill the gaps in the knowledge of floral and reproductive biology of seven plant speci…

• Abstract

  Studies addressing the influence of climatic and ecological factors in speciation has become more common in recent years. One of the issues explored is the niche conservatism (CN), which is the tendency of species and clades may have in maintaining ecological characteristics over time. The CN can help clarify questions about speciation, and thus our study will be directed to investigate w…

• Abstract

  Tribe Myrteae is responsible for the rich representation of the Angiosperm family Myrtaceae in the Neotropics. Within Myrteae, subtribe Myrciinae is composed of the single, broadly-defined genus Myrcia DC. Myrcia sect. Aulomyrcia (O.Berg) Griseb. is the most morphologically variable section, including five informal morphological groups, one of which is the 'Marlierea clade'. The 'Marliere…

• Abstract

  The large neotropical genus Clusia (Malpighiales, Clusiaceae s.str., tribe Clusieae) is noteworthy for its high infrageneric and sometimes infraspecific diversity in various aspects. This diversity is especially remarkable in the flower morphology and related to this, the pollination biology. A considerable number of species offers the uncommon floral reward resin to pollinating bees and …
