Plant DNA Barcodes, Taxonomic Management and Species Discovery in Tropical Forests
(Humana Press, Springer, 2012)
DNA barcodes have great potential for species identification and taxonomic discovery in tropical forests. This use of DNA barcodes requires a reference DNA library of known taxa with which to match DNA from unidentified ...
Genetic evidence of Quaternary demographic changes in four rainforest tree species sampled across the Isthmus of Panama
(Blackwell, 2013)
Aim We examined and compared population genetic structure in a suite of four co-occurring Panamanian tree species and performed coalescent-based analyses of demographic history to evaluate hypotheses of tropical vegetation ...
Origins of Mexican Malpighiaceae
(2013-06)
The approximately 42 lineages of Malpighiaceae currently known in Mexico are identified and briefly described and discussed. All the Mexican lineages have their ultimate roots in South America, although in some cases the ...
Hiraea cuneata, H. macrophylla, and four new species confused with them: H. hatschbachii, H. occhionii, H. reitzii, and H. restingae (Malpighiaceae)
(2014-11-07)
Specimens of Hiraea (Malpighiaceae) from the Brazilian states of eastern Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Paraná, and Santa Catarina that had been determined as H. cuneata Griseb. and H. wiedeana A.Juss. were found to include ...
Revision of Mezia (Malpighiaceae)
(2018-11)
The Neotropical genus Mezia (Malpighiaceae) comprises 15 species of lianas (except M. huberi W.R.Anderson, a shrub or small tree). All have multibranched, densely brown-sericeous inflorescences with the ultimate unit a ...

Six new species of Hiraea (Malpighiaceae) from South America are described and illustrated. Hiraea andersonii (Peru), H. holmgreniorum (Brazil), H. kariniana (Ecuador), H. singularis (Venezuela), and H. woytkowskii (Peru) ...
Resolution of the Hiraea cephalotes complex (Malpighiaceae)
(2013-11)
The assemblage of specimens from Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and western Venezuela that had been determined as a variable species, H. cephalotes Triana & Planch. (Malpighiaceae), was found to comprise seven species in addition ...
Despite introgressive hybridization, North American birches (Betula spp.) maintain strong differentiation at nuclear microsatellite loci
(Springer-Verlag, 2015-09-18)
Extensive chloroplast introgression has been documented in polyploid Betula species of eastern North America. However, the extent to which the nuclear genomes of these species are differentiated is unknown. Therefore, we ...
