Combination of Mascagnia and Triopterys (Malpighiaceae)
(2013-11-15)
The most recent phylogenetic analysis of Malpighiaceae shows the small Caribbean genus Triopterys to be nested within the larger continental genus Mascagnia. The morphology of Triopterys is consistent with that of Mascagnia, ...
Target sequence capture in the Brazil nut family (Lecythidaceae): marker selection and in silico capture from genome skimming data
(2019-06)
Reconstructing species trees from multi-loci datasets is becoming a standard practice in phylogenetics. Nevertheless, access to high-throughput sequencing may be costly, especially with studies of many samples. The potential ...
Circumscription and nomenclature of Hiraea barclayana, H. reclinata, and H. ternifolia (Malpighiaceae), and of seven species misassigned to them.
(2016-08-08)
A review of collections from Mexico to northern South America that had been primarily determined as H. barclayana, H. reclinata, and H. ternifolia, or synonyms, showed them to include ten species. Misinterpretations were ...
Tangled banks: A landscape genomic evaluation of Wallace's Riverine barrier hypothesis for three Amazon plant species
(Wiley, 2019-04-02)
Wallace's Riverine Barrier hypothesis is one of the earliest biogeographic explanations for Amazon speciation, but it has rarely been tested in plants. In this study, we used three woody Amazonian plant species to evaluate ...
Fine-scale niche structure of Neotropical forests reflects a legacy of the Great American Biotic Interchange
(MacMillan Publishers, 2013-08-13)
The tendency of species to retain their ancestral niches may link processes that determine community assembly with biogeographic histories that span geological time scales. Biogeo- graphic history is likely to have had a ...
Resolution of the Galphimia langlassei complex (Malpighiaceae) from the Pacific slope of Mexico
(2003-11-13)
Four species were discerned in a complex of Galphimia Cav. (Malpighiaceae) from the Pacific slope of Mexico. Three are newly described (G. arenicola, G. mexiae, and G. radialis). One is transferred from Thryallis L. (nom. ...
A reassessment of the Hypoglossum group (Delesseriaceae, Rhodophyta), with a critique of its genera
(Springer-Verlag; Biologische Anstalt Helgoland, 1988-09)
A reassessment of the Hypoglossum group (Delesseriaceae, Rhodophyta), with a critique of its genera. Eight genera are assigned to the Hypoglossum Kützing, Phitymophora J. Agardh, Pseudobranchioglossum Bodard, and Zellera ...
Lectotypification of names of Malpighiaceae—I

Lectotypes are designated for the following names of Malpighiaceae: Alcoceratothrix
Nied., Alcoceratothrix rugosa var. minor Nied., Aspicarpa lanata Rose, Bunchosia costaricensis Rose,
Bunchosia gaudichaudiana Adr. Juss., ...
Galphimia (Malpighiaceae) in South America
(2005-02-07)
A revision of the South American species of Galphimia (Malpighiaceae) is presented. Four species, G. amambayensis, G. australis, G. brasiliensis, and G. platyphylla, are recognized. Full descriptions, a key, and two maps ...
The effects of read length, quality and quantity on microsatellite discovery and primer development: from Illumina to PacBio
(John Wiley and Sons, 2014-09)
The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has transformed the way microsatellites are isolated for ecological and evolutionary investigations. Recent attempts to employ NGS for microsatellite discovery ...
