The evolutionary success of a lineage may be measured by its morphological diversity (disparity). However, phenotypic evolution, including disparification, is limited by underlying factors, such as modularity and integration. The interplay between integration and modularity changes how traits vary through time, and may, for example, constrain or facilitate morphological diversification in…
Morphological disparity is a fundamental tool for understanding evolutionary patterns and processes that shape biodiversity. Although widely applied in animals, this approach is still little explored in plants, especially in the context of floral morphology. This project aims to investigate the patterns of floral disparity in the Tribe Mimoseae (Leguminosae), a pantropical group with high…
The Biogeography seeks to understand the patterns and processes that led to the distribution of organisms through space and time. Aulthough large-scale biogeographical anlyses of phylogenetic diversity and endemism patterns allow us to sistinguish the contribution of ecological and evolutionary factors to biota distribution, most biogegraphical studies do not integrate these metrics. In t…
The high diversity in the reproductive structures of angiosperms is associated with different factors, from changes in floral development to pressures caused by ecological interactions. In particular, changes in floral form and function are often attributed to changes in the pollination system, which can also drive diversification processes. However, some groups of plants have an apparent…

Selective pressures from the same biome can favor the emergence of convergent morphological characters in independent lineages. In the Cerrado, a relatively young biome, adaptive convergences related to fire protection are well documented. However, it is not known whether and how other vegetative and floral characters responded to other environmental pressures that distinguish the Cerrado…
The evolutionary success of a lineage may be measured by its species diversity or by its mor- phological disparity. Although diversity and disparity are not necessarily correlated, they are usually closely tied in adaptive radiations. However, phenotypic evolution, including dispari- fication, is limited by underlying factors, such as modularity and integration. The interplay between inte…
The study of the morphological disparity has proved to be of great help in the study of the evolution of living beings, making it possible to understand phenomena that were not understood before. However, disparity analyses are rarely applied to plants. This project aims to fill part of this gap in the knowledge about the evolution of plants. Thus, we will study the pollen disparity of th…

Selective pressures of a particular biome can favor the emergence of convergent morphological characters in independent lineages. In the Cerrado, a relatively young biome, adaptive convergences related to fire protection are well documented. However, it is not known whether and how vegetative and floral characters responded to other environmental pressures that distinguish the Cerrado fro…
The evolutionary success of a lineage may be measured by its species diversity or by its morphological disparity. Although diversity and disparity are not necessarily correlated, they are usually closely tied in adaptive radiations. Ecological opportunity commonly precedes adaptive radiations and can be triggered by events like mass extinctions, the origin of new resources (e.g., landmass…
Mountains comprise some of the most diverse floras in the world. Because of their insular nature, they offer a wide range of ecological opportunities that may lead to key innovations followed by lineage diversification. This is particularly the case in the Campos Rupestres, a vegetation complex located in ancient mountains of Eastern South America. Although different evolutionary processe…
Variations in the degree of co-variation between different parts of a phenotype (phenotypic integration and modularity) can shape the evolution of complex structures, such as flowers. Although flowers function in an integrated way, different floral traits may have different functions in the reproductive process. Thus, intra-floral variation/covariation can be modular. However, our knowled…
Taxonomic and phylogenetic studies of Mimosa ser. Pachycarpae and M. ser. Setosae will promote updates to its species circumscriptions and probably also the series. Taxonomic updtaes, however, must be done with caution and after comprehensive analysis of specimens, particularly types. This proposal presents a project for development of research in foreign institutions and, thus, analysis …
