The status of genomics and genetics research in the Myrtaceae, a large family of
dicotyledonous woody plants, is reviewed with Eucalyptus as the focal genus. The family …

Background Some neotropical, fleshy-fruited plants have fruits structurally similar to
paleotropical fruits dispersed by megafauna (mammals> 103 kg), yet these dispersers were …

Myrtaceae are one of the largest families of flowering plants and are widely distributed in the
Neotropics, where they are mainly represented by the tribe Myrteae. Myrteae are the most …

This book is intended to provide information on fundamental genetic processes in tropical
forests. It is based on lecture notes by the authors prepared for postgraduate students …

Conservation strategies aiming to safeguard species genetic diversity in the Cerrado are
urgent. The biome is an agriculture frontier and lost at least 50% of its natural capital since …

The composition of the essential oil of Eugenia dysenterica collected from wild populations
in Senador Canedo (SC) and Campo Alegre de Goiás (CA), as well as from cultivated plants …

Abstract Background and Aims Cyclic glaciations were frequent throughout the Quaternary
and this affected species distribution and population differentiation worldwide. The present …

Aim Spatial autocorrelation analysis of genetic diversity was combined with ecological niche
modelling (ENM) to better infer how ecological and evolutionary processes underlie …

It is now widely recognized that knowledge on population genetic structure is important to
evaluate population viability and persistence or to establish conservation priorities. In this …

In this paper random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was used to evaluate the degree
of among-population differentiation and associated spatial patterns of genetic divergence for …
