Evolutionary developmental biology (evo‐devo) explores the link between developmental
patterning and phenotypic change through evolutionary time. In this review, we highlight the …

We reconstruct the evolutionary changes in different anatomical markers in order to
understand the evolution and functional aspects of growth rings during the diversification of …

The Sapindales are a large order comprised of trees, shrubs, lianas and rarely herbs. This
lineage is mostly pantropical with important temperate lineages, inclusing some of the most …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Bignoniaceae is an important component of neotropical forests
and a model for evolutionary and biogeographical studies. A previous combination of …

Abstract Background and Aims Roots are key in the evolution of plants, being in charge of
critical functions, such as water and nutrient uptake and anchorage of the plant body. Stems …

Tropical dry forests (TDF) are highly important tropical forest ecosystems. Yet, these forests
are highly threatened, usually neglected and only poorly studied. Understanding the long …

Seasonally dry tropical forests are an important global climatic regulator, a main driver of the
global carbon sink dynamics and are predicted to suffer future reductions in their productivity …

Premise Polishing entire stem and root samples is an effective method for studying their
anatomy; however, polishing fresh samples to preserve woods with soft tissues or barks is …

Abstract In Sapindaceae tribe Paullinieae, most genera contain species with cambial
variants, and five types have been commonly described. However, new, undescribed …

This work compares potential xylem hydraulic efficiency among Bignoniaceae lianas, shrubs
and trees. Five species from each growth habit were analysed to determine variance among …
