An enhanced calibration of a recently released megatree for the analysis of phylogenetic diversity
(Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2017)
Plant communities in tropical ancient mountains: How are they spatially and evolutionary structured?
(2021-09-01)
The integration of phylogenetic methods and species distribution can really help in the investigation of biogeographic patterns and to fill gaps in evolutionary ecology. Here we investigated how the vascular flora of the ...
Defining novel plant polyamine oxidase subfamilies through molecular modeling and sequence analysis
(BioMed Central, 2019-01)
Background: The polyamine oxidases (PAOs) catabolize the oxidative deamination of the polyamines (PAs) spermine (Spm) and spermidine (Spd). Most of the phylogenetic studies performed to analyze the plant PAO family took ...
Consideraciones sobre la sistemática de las familias y los géneros de plantas vasculares endémicos de Chile
(Ediciones Universitarias, 2015)
Endemism is one of the main considerations in historical biogeography and one of the most important criteria when establishing conservation priorities. Worldwide, more than 90% of the plants listed in conservation categories ...

Patterns of chemical defences in plants: an analysis of the vascular flora of Chile
(BIRKHAUSER VERLAG AG, 2006-09)
The plant apparency hypothesis predicts that apparent plants invest in broadly effective defences such as tannins while unapparent plants invest in specific toxins such as alkaloids. The stress hypothesis states that plants ...
Morphological evolution in the graminid clade: Comparative floral anatomy of the grass relatives Flagellariaceae and Joinvilleaceae
(2012-11-01)
New comparative data are presented on the reproductive morphology and anatomy of two genera closely related to grasses, Flagellaria and Joinvillea, in which the flowers are superficially similar, especially in stamen ...
