We describe, discuss, and illustrate Vriesea serraourensis, a new species from the Chapada Diamantina in municipality of Barra da Estiva Ituaçu, Bahia, Brazil, here considered critically endangered species. The is morphologically related to V. bahiana but clearly differs it by its larger size, longer fewer leaves, inflorescence branches forming an internal angle 30o–45o with main axis, sepals yellow ovate, petals narrowly obovate, whitish-yellow towards base at apex, basal petal appendages...
Abstract The successful implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity's post‐2020 Global Biodiversity Framework will rely effective translation targets from global to national level and increased engagement across diverse sectors society. Species conservation require policy support measures that can be applied a diversity taxonomic groups, link action outcome goals, both data sets account for context, which species threat abatement restoration (STAR) metric does. To test...
Abstract The adaptations of plants to different environments are closely related their wood anatomical traits. This study investigated the anatomy a montane forest community and compared it with data from three other areas in Atlantic Forest biome (montane lowland forest). Samples 23 species were processed analyzed according standard techniques. Quantitative xylem traits measured conductivity parameters calculated. Wood for 76 obtained previous studies incorporated into analyses. Shared...
