This data paper presents a largely phylogeny-based online taxonomic backbone for the Cactaceae compiled from literature and sources using tools of EDIT Platform Cybertaxonomy. The will form contribution Caryophyllales Network World Flora Online serve as base further integration research results systematic community. final aim is to treat all effectively published scientific names in family. checklist includes 150 accepted genera, 1851 species, 91 hybrids, 746 infraspecific taxa (458...
The assembly of regional biotas and organismal responses to anthropogenic climate change both depend on the capacity organisms adapt novel ecological conditions. Here we demonstrate concept evolutionary lag time, time between when a climatic regime or habitat develops in region it is colonized by given clade. We analyzed colonization four clades (three plant genera one lizard genus) into Atacama–Sechura Desert South America, Earth’s driest oldest deserts. reconstructed time-calibrated...
The Southern Islands Vascular Flora (SIVFLORA) dataset is a globally significant, open-access resource that compiles essential biodiversity data on vascular plants from islands across the Ocean. SIVFLORA was generated through five steps: study area delimitation, compiling dataset, validating and harmonizing taxonomy, structuring attributes, establishing file format open access. Covering major taxonomic divisions, offers comprehensive overview of plant occurrences, comprising 14,589 records...
The highest elevations of the Tropical Andes form an archipelago sky islands, where herpetological diversity is actively evolving. In this study, we combined morphological and molecular data to discover describe a new snake species colubrid genus Tantilla from middle-upper basin Boconó River on lacustrine slope Cordillera de Mérida. This belongs melanocephala phenotypic group. Our results align with previously published data, indicating that Andean populations diverged lowland ancestral...
Abstract Aim Shifts between the western South American sclerophyll and winter‐rainfall desert biomes their relationship to climatic niche evolution aridity development were investigated in endemic geophytic Leucocoryne (Alliaceae) clade. Location Western America. Methods We constructed a molecular phylogeny (internal transcribed spacer, ITS ), estimated lineage divergence times, identified ancestral biome shifts. The multivariate of present‐day species was described using occurrence data...
Species climate requirements are useful for predicting their geographic distribution. It is often assumed that the niche invasive plants conserved during invasion, especially when invaded regions share similar conditions. California and central Chile have a remarkable degree of convergence in vegetation structure, Mediterranean climate. Such similarities make these areas an interesting natural experiment testing climatic dynamics equilibrium species new environment. We tested to see if...
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Species of the endemic Chilean cactus genus Copiapoa have cylindrical or (sub)globose stems that are solitary form (large) clusters and typically yellow flowers. Many species threatened with extinction. Despite being icons Atacama Desert well loved by enthusiasts, evolution diversity has not yet been studied using a molecular approach. METHODS: Sequence data three plastid DNA markers ( rpl32‐trnL , trnH‐psbA ycf1 ) 39 taxa were analyzed maximum likelihood Bayesian...
Chile’s distinctive flora, geographical isolation, and complex topography collectively contribute to a notable endemic species diversity, particularly within central regions identified as critical areas for biodiversity conservation. The cactus genus Eriosyce , currently circumscribed, encompasses seven sections, with sect. Horridocatus presenting notably group. This study investigates the E. curvispina complex, member of Notocacteae tribe common in Chile, by incorporating new populations...
Abstract Background: The Cactaceae is a diverse and conspicuous Neotropical family that has evolved wide variety of adaptations during co-evolution with their interacting species. Recent research indicated complex ecological evolutionary interactions involving cacti other organisms. Aims: We reviewed four studies have important implications for our understanding the evolution life traits maintenance cactus diversity. Also, these illustrate how modern theoretical background ecology species...
Eriosyce is one of most species‐rich genera within Notocacteae (Cactaceae) harboring a variety stem and flower morphologies, fruits with basal abscission. The lack well‐sampled molecular phylogeny contributes to the current taxonomic instability genus, where its circumscription infrageneric classification has been questioned. Specimens (63 taxa) plus 19 outgroups were analyzed through sequencing three plastid noncoding introns ( rpl32‐trnL , trnL‐trnF trnH‐psbA ), gene ycf1 nuclear PHYC )....
Delayed flowering due to later snowmelt and colder temperatures at higher elevations in the alpine are expected lead phenological adjustment prevent decoupling of peak from warmest time year, thereby favoring pollination. However, even if is brought forward season elevations, an elevational temperature gap likely remain between high- low-elevation populations a species these reach on account atmospheric reduction with increasing elevation. The negative effect this pollination could be...
Abstract Background and Aims Pleistocene climatic oscillations, characterized by arid (interglacial) pluvial (glacial) phases, have profoundly impacted the floras of Mediterranean climates. Our study investigates hypothesis that these extremes promoted phases range expansion contraction in Eriosyce sect. Neoporteria, resulting pronounced genetic structuring restricted gene flow. Methods Using nuclear microsatellite markers, we genotyped 251 individuals across 18 populations, encompassing all...
In this era of a global biodiversity crisis, vascular plants are facing unprecedented extinction rates. We conducted an assessment the risk 32 species and 7 subspecies Copiapoa, genus endemic to Chile's fog-dependent coastal Atacama Desert. applied International Union for Conservation Nature Red List Categories Criteria enhanced by expert insights knowledge. Our primary aim was analyze impact trade poaching on their risk. employed machine learning models, including multinomial logistic...
