1. Predicting the potential distribution of aquatic herbaceous plants in oligotrophic Central Amazonian wetland ecosystems
ABSTRACT Aquatic herbaceous plants are especially suitable for mapping environmental variability in wetlands, as they respond quickly to environmental gradients and are good indicators of habitat preference. We describe the composition of herbaceous species in two oligotrophic wetland ecosystems, floodplains along black-water rivers (igapó) and wetlands upo

2. Seed germination and dormancy break in Eragrostis polytricha, a native Brazilian grass species with potential for recovery of degraded lands
ABSTRACT Ferruginous Rocky Outcrops have high levels of species richness and endemism, but have been threatened by several anthropic actions, especially mining. Eragrostis polytricha, a common grass species in the vegetation of these outcrops, has shown promising features for use in the recovery of mining areas. However, in order to fully understand the spec

3. Emerging hotspots of tree richness in Brazil
ABSTRACT We present a summary of floristic variation and distribution of richness of tree and tree-like taxa (i.e., freestanding plants that reach at least 3m in height) in Brazil. We investigated composition patterns throughout phytogeographic domains and vegetation types based on 698,490 occurrence records obtained from the NeoTropTree (NTT) database, and

4. An update on the knowledge of aquatic macrophytes in Northeast Brazil
Resumo Atualizamos o primeiro checklist de macrófitas aquáticas do Nordeste do Brasil (Primeira Flora), que incluiu dados coletados até 2010, com uma nova lista de espécies baseada em dados de trabalhos publicados entre 2011 e 2017 (Nova Flora). Juntas, estas listagens registram 637 espécies de 89 famílias, com ênfase em espécies estritamente anfíbi

5. Riqueza e endemismo de Lauraceae no Paraná: aspectos fitogeográficos e áreas prioritárias para a conservação
Resumo Lauraceae está entre as três principais famílias do componente arbóreo das florestas no Paraná, sendo elemento frequente nos estudos fitossociológicos e biogeográficos. Apesar disso, a família continua insuficientemente conhecida no estado. Nossos objetivos foram: reconhecer as espécies de Lauraceae no Paraná, relacionando-as com as unidades

6. Estructura, composición florística y almacenamiento de carbono en bosques nativos del páramo de Anaime, Tolima, Colombia
Abstract Páramos have a high environmental importance due to their high plant and animal endemism, water regulation and carbon storage. In this work, the structure and composition of the tree vegetation were characterized as well as carbon storage in aboveground biomass and the potential reduction of emissions by deforestation were estimated prioritizing th

7. Treehopper (Membracidae, Auchenorrhyncha) assemblages in four semi-arid areas of caatinga of Northeast Brazil
Resumo As taxocenoses de membracídeos foram amostradas em quatro áreas de Caatinga do semiárido do Nordeste brasileiro, durante a estação chuvosa de 2016 e 2017, utilizando três métodos distintos de captura. Essas áreas estão inseridas em duas Ecorregiões da Caatinga, Depressão Sertaneja Setentrional e Planalto da Borborema. Um total de 2.394 indi

8. Areas of endemism of hummingbirds (Aves: Apodiformes: Trochilidae) in the Andean and Neotropical regions
ABSTRACT Using track analysis and cladistic biogeography, we identified areas of endemism of hummingbirds in the Andean and Neotropical regions. Our results point out that the current areas of endemism of hummingbirds occur in the Andes, Guiana Shield, the Lesser Antilles, western Central and North America and the Chiapas Highlands. The cladistic biogeograph

9. Biological survey of a cloud forest in southwestern Mexico: plants, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals
Abstract: Cloud forest ecosystems contain unique flora and fauna characterized by high levels of richness and endemism. However, this ecosystem is one of the most threatened because of land-use changes stemming from anthropogenic activities. Therefore, biological inventories are necessary to adequately assess the effects of land-use changes on species now an

10. Distribution pattern of anurans from three mountain complexes in southeastern Brazil and their conservation implications
ABSTRACT Biogeographic tools support spatial distribution pattern hypotheses and help to determine priority areas for conservation. Our aim was to verify biogeographic patterns for anurans in three mountain complexes in southeastern Brazil, as well as to discuss the status of species conservation recorded and the biogeographical units evaluated. We selected

11. Phytosociology of the herbaceous-subshrub layer of a rupestrian complex in Serra do Espinhaço, Brazil
ABSTRACT Rupestrian complexes of the Serra do Espinhaço are recognized for their high degree of biodiversity and endemism. However, environmental impacts, particularly from mining, have degraded these environments. The purpose of this study was to describe the herbaceous-subshrub communities that occur in quartzitic (QRC) and ferruginous (FRC) rupestrian co

12. Spider species richness and sampling effort at Cracraft´S Belém Area of Endemism
ABSTRACT A list of spider species is presented for the Belém Area of Endemism, the most threatened region in the Amazon Basin, comprising portions of eastern State of Pará and western State of Maranhão, Brazil. The data are based both on records from the taxonomic and biodiversity survey literature and on scientific collection databases. A total of 319 id
