Distribution ranges of plant species are related to physical variables of ecosystems that limit plant growth. Therefore, each plant species response to physical factors builds up the functional diversity of an ecosystem. The higher the species richness of an ecosystem, the larger the probability...

A neotype was chosen for Cheilanthes incisa by previous workers because there were apparently no extant syntypes. Recently, we found some extant isosyntypes in some European herbaria (L, LE, OXF, and PRC). Thus, we here select a lectotype for C. incisa, superseding the previous neotype. We also...

We present five nomenclatural novelties in Serpocaulon: S. articulatum (C. Presl) Schwartsb. & A.R. Sm., the correct name for the specimens long called as S. giganteum (or Polypodium giganteum); S. rex Schwartsb. & A.R. Sm., a new species from the Seasonal semi-Deciduous Forest of southeastern...

Bamboos are large perennial grasses of temperate and tropical forests worldwide. Two general growth forms exist: the economically and ecologically important woody bamboos (tribes Arundinarieae and Bambuseae), and the understory herbaceous bamboos (tribe Olyreae). Evolutionary relationships among the...

This study examines how habitat structure affects the home range use of a group of Brachyteles hypoxanthus in the Brigadeiro State Park, Brazil. It has been reported that most of the annual feeding time of woolly spider monkeys is spent eating leaves, but they prefer fruits when available. We...

This work examines patches of Atlantic forests in Minas Gerais State where woolly spider monkeys (Brachyteles hypoxanthus) are inhabitants in order to understand the effects of forest structure, diversity, and succession in B. hypoxanthus abundance. This study was carried out in three reserves:...
