Lianas are a very expressive component of the tropical flora, often representing the majority of species richness and biomass. Despite this great relevance, lianas are still poorly understood by the Botanical science, and are often seen as a disturbing or subsidiary element in forests. This team of researchers views lianas as an important component of the forest community, and highlights …
This proposal seeks funding for reconstructing climate variability and change during the past millennium (850 C.E -1850 C.E) using speleothem and tree-ring records from the South American monsoon region. The last millennium is a key period for climate reconstruction, because it allows analyzing natural climate variability in the absence of human influence. It is also a time period that in…
Cambial variants are alternative forms of secondary growth that generate great anatomical diversity and that have evolved multiple times along the evolution of the vascular plants, from fossils Pteridosperms, "Gimnosperms" to Eudicotyledons. Cambial variants have been studied since de XIX century and are notorious for the architectures they generate in the organs in which they occur, such…
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change the global surface temperature has continuously risen since 1861. Increasing temperatures combined with changing precipitation patterns result in a more active and more intense hydrological cycle. Combined with the continuously increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration, trees will undoubtedly be influenced. Tree-rings have shown to…

Climate change may impact forests worldwide and therefore interfere with the biogeochemical cycles. In order to predict extreme events it is necessary to understand the climatic variability before human actions, a challenge in tropical regions where the climate records are limited to recent decades. Natural records as the tree rings allow investigations as how climate modulates tree growt…
Cambial variants represent alternative forms of secondary growth that generates great anatomical diversity. Studies on species containing cambial variants have been increasingly common in the literature. However, studies integrating information on stem anatomy and ontogeny within a phylogenetic framework are scarce and the study of plants with cambial variants in the context of evolutiona…
One of the major goals of evolutionary developmental biology is to understand the processes involved in the generation of morphological diversity. One way to address this question is through ontogenetical comparison of the ontogeny of the species within a phylogenetic framework. In the present study, lianas belonging to three families: Celastraceae, Malpighiaceae and Sapindaceae were chos…
