Climbers germinate on the ground but need external support to sustain their stems, which are maintained attached supports through modified organs, that is, climbing mechanisms. Specialized mechanisms have been linked higher diversification rates. Also, different may diameter restrictions, might influence climbers' spatial distribution. We test these assumptions by linking spatiotemporal of neotropical climbers. A dataset is presented for 9071 species. WCVP was used standardize species names,...

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...

Most studies concerning climbing plants have focused on lianas, forest ecosystems, and tropical regions. Thus, the majority of existing information is not relevant to all (lianas vines) or ecoregions world (forested non-forested). We provide an update floristic distributional data available for in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil's southernmost state, which located within subtropical temperate zones includes a variety non-forest vegetation types. A total 448 plant species were confirmed documented...
