Abstract The recent availability of open‐access repositories functional traits has revolutionized trait‐based approaches in ecology and evolution. Nevertheless, the underrepresentation tropical regions lineages remains a pervasive bias plant trait databases, which constrains large‐scale assessments ecology, evolution, biogeography. Here, we present MelastomaTRAITs 1.0, comprehensive updatable database for pantropical Melastomataceae, ninth‐largest angiosperm family with 177 genera more than...
Abstract Andean ecosystems are characterized by high humidity, mainly from rain and fog events. Because of differences in altitude two – sub‐Andean forest Páramo –face different environmental pressures that affect leaf anatomy cell wall composition and, consequently, species foliar water uptake (FWU) capacity. Here, FWU capacity eight the Melastomataceae was evaluated found to be related proportions components aquaporins ecosystems. Cellulose labelled with Calcofluor white, aquaporin pectins...
Miconia curvitheca (Melastomataceae) is described and the name validated. This species restricted to high Andean forests subparamos distributed in southern central part of Central Colombian Cordillera Andes between 2900 3700 m elevation from department Cauca limits departments Quindío, Tolima Valle del Cauca. It characterized by curved shape its anthers differs most similar species, M. cuatrecasae, following combination characters: smaller leaves, always bisexual flowers ovary four-celled.
Se describe e ilustra Miconia brigittei (Melastomataceae), una nueva especie endémica de los andes Colombia. Esta se asocia con sección Amblyarrhena y caracteriza por el color rojizo las hojas en ejemplares herbario, 5 plinervias, domacios pubescentes la base venas secundarias envés, pétalos reflexos, conectivo antera minutamente prolongado dorsal, ovario 3-locular. Crece a lo largo Cordillera Occidental centro-norte Central, entre 1330 2020 m elevación, zonas bosque Subandino Andino. Por su...
Miconia rheophytica is described, illustrated, and compared with presumed relatives in the Octopleura clade. It distinguished by its narrowly elliptic to ovate-lanceolate leaf blades entire subentire margins that have evenly spaced spreading smooth eglandular trichomes 0.8−1.4 mm long, an indumentum of dendritic short axes terete radiating arms on distal internodes, adaxial petiole surfaces, primary secondary veins abaxial unribbed hypanthia are constricted tapered distally below torus...
Meriania juan-canoi, a new species endemic to the northern Andes in Colombia is described and illustrated. This belongs Brachycera group can be distinguished from other by its apically rounded calyptra, completely free ovary dimorphic stamens. The description of this relatively well collected area near major road southeastern Medellín, Colombia, confirms our lack knowledge on vegetation several Neotropical regions. Due intense agricultural activity where grows small it occurs, we recommend...
Miconia imbricata Gleason, is rediscovered a species endemic of Tatamá National Park which know only from its type. Its description spread out, floral characteristics and inflorescence position are evaluated conservation state determined. The morphologic analysis show some mistakes the interpretation an affinity this with genus Killipia, so we proceed to conduct transfer genus.
Antecedentes y Objetivos: Meriania es un género neotropical de árboles arbustos, con aproximadamente 120 especies distribuidas desde el sur México hasta Brasil, Bolivia las Antillas. En Colombia, asociado a cordilleras Occidental Central, se encuentra complejo caracteres únicos que permite diferenciarlo otros grupos andinos; aquí denomina Selvaflorensis. El objetivo este artículo describir una nueva especie asociada este, además documentar grupo sus distribuciones.Métodos: Basados en...
