Abstract The Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) was established by the Conference of Parties in 2002 to decrease loss plant diversity, reduce poverty and contribute sustainable development. To achieve this overarching goal, GSPC has a series targets, one which is ensure that diversity well understood, so it can be effectively conserved used manner. Brazil hosts more than 46,000 species plants, algae fungi, representing most biodiverse countries on Earth, playing key role GSPC....
A comprehensive new inventory of Brazilian plants and fungi was published just in time to meet a 2010 Convention on Biological Diversity target offers important insights into this biodiversity's global significance. Brazil is the home world's richest flora (40,989 species; 18,932 endemic) includes two hottest hotspots: Mata Atlântica (19,355 species) Cerrado (12,669 species). Although total number known species one-third lower than previous estimates, absolute endemic vascular plant higher...
Abstract The shortage of reliable primary taxonomic data limits the description biological taxa and understanding biodiversity patterns processes, complicating biogeographical, ecological, evolutionary studies. This deficit creates a significant impediment to research conservation planning. crisis are widely recognized, highlighting urgent need for data. Over past decade, numerous countries worldwide have devoted considerable effort Target 1 Global Strategy Plant Conservation (GSPC), which...
Abstract This compilation of ferns and lycophytes in Brazil is an update the one published 2010 Catálogo de Plantas e Fungos do Brasil. The methodology consisted collecting data from regional checklists, taxonomic revisions, selected databases. Invited specialists improved list accessing a website housed at Jardim Botânico Rio Janeiro. results show 1,253 species: 1,111 142 lycophytes. number 6.5% higher than previous (1,176 spp.). percentage endemic species decreased 38.2% to 36.7%. We...
Abstract The roughly 500 species of cheilanthoid ferns exhibit a diversity morphological adaptations to xeric environments. However, most these traits have evolved independently multiple times, impeding past efforts establish natural classification for the group. Considerable progress has been made over three decades resolving major lineages, with notable exception hemionitids, largest and widely distributed clade. nearly 350 hemionitid can be found in dry regions across globe account...
Abstract Aim A major problem for conservation in Amazonia is that species distribution maps are inaccurate. Consequently, planning needs to be based on other information sources such as vegetation and soil maps, which also We propose test the use of biotic data a common relatively easily inventoried group plants infer environmental conditions can used improve floristic patterns general. Location Brazilian Amazonia. Methods sampled 326 plots 250 m × 2 separated by distances 1–1800 km....
Phylogenetic relationships among Pteridaceae were established using rbcL sequences, parsimony and posterior probabilities. The analyses involved 38 species native in Brazil (12 of them endemic) 81 Dennstaedtiaceae, Lindsaeaceae, Saccolomataceae (outgroups) Pteridaceae. resultant phylogeny comprehends five main clades: Platyzomatoideae‐Pteridoideae‐Taenitoideae; Ceratopteris ‐ Acrostichum ; Adiantoideae‐vittarioids; Cheilanthoideae; Coniogramme Cryptogramma‐Llavea . cladograms support the...
The brake fern genus Pteris belongs to the Pteridaceae subfamily Pteridoideae. It contains 200-250 species distributed on all continents except Antarctica, with its highest diversity in tropical and subtropical regions. monophyly of has long been question because great morphological controversial relationships Australian endemic monospecific Platyzoma. circumscription Pteridoideae likewise uncertain. Previous studies typically had sparse sampling related genera used limited DNA sequence...
Abstract Establishing which factors determine species distributions is of major relevance for practical applications such as conservation planning. The Amazonian lowlands exhibit considerable internal heterogeneity that not apparent in existing vegetation maps. We used ferns a model group to study patterns plant and community composition at regional landscape scales. Fern environmental data were collected 109 plots 250 × 2 m distributed among four sites Brazilian Amazonia. Interplot...
Abstract Aim To examine the relative importance of gradients in soil fertility and rainfall for phylogenetic structure Neotropical forest fern communities, to quantify how much results are affected by resolution. Location Tropical lowland forests B razil (central A mazonia) P anama (the canal watershed). Methods We inventoried local communities at a total 87 sites model their species richness relatedness varied along rainfall. produced time‐calibrated species‐level molecular phylogeny ferns,...

Abstract We present updated type data and taxonomic status on the 13 South American pteridophytes described by Ignaz Goldmann in 1843 based plants collected Franz Meyen during his circumnavigation of world between 1830 1832. In addition, we discuss a species himself 1834. Among 14 names, choose six lectotypes, three lectotypes inadvertently chosen, five isolectotypes, one probable isolectotype, report names with missing types, which are very probably not extant. The types found deposited B,...
Uma das conseqüências da fragmentação de hábitats florestais melhor estudadas até o momento são os chamados efeitos borda. Neste estudo, foi verificado como variam a riqueza e abundância pteridófitas quando comparados interiores bordas áreas florestais, em Una, BA. Foram inventariadas todas as 1 m do solo, 36 parcelas 120 × 10 (0,12 ha), estabelecidas mata contínua (> 900 ha) fragmentos (< 100 distribuídas na região entre três blocos amostrais 5 km. Em cada uma áreas, locaram-se 20, 40 mais...
