Bats have populated earth for approximately 52 million years, serving as natural reservoirs
for a variety of viruses through the course of evolution. Transmission of highly pathogenic …

The loss of interactions and ecosystem functions is a concerning by‐product of pervasive
Anthropocene species decline and extinction. Ecological interactions between species …

The genus Stigmatodon occurs in vertical and bare granite slopes, typical of the inselbergs
of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Here, we present the first broad phylogenetic analysis …

Stigmatodon enigmaticus is described and illustrated as a new lithophytic taxon from the
quartzitic Campos Rupestres within the biodiversity hotspot of the Atlantic Forest, in Minas …

VOCs emitted by flowers play an important role in plant ecology. In the past few years, the
Tillandsia genus has been scarcely studied according to the VOCs emitted by flowers …

Mutualistic plant-pollinator interactions play a critical role in the diversification of flowering
plants. The spatiotemporal correlates of such interactions can be understood in a …

The authors describe Hohenbergia ymboreorum, a new green-flowered species of
Bromeliaceae from Bahia state. The new species was found growing in the municipality of …

Trichomes are a key feature of bromeliads. These structures absorb water and minerals,
potentially constituting an important element in plant-environment interactions. Recent …

Abstract Background and Aims Floral characteristics vary significantly among plant species,
and multiple underlying factors govern this diversity. Although it is widely known that spatial …

Aim Fruit selection by animal dispersers with different mobility directly impacts plant
geographical range size, which, in turn, may impact plant diversification. Here, we examine …
