Historical biogeography and character-mapping of Acridocarpus (Malpighiaceae) evidence a revised infrageneric classification system and shifts in African biomes from the Eocene to the Miocene Open
Background and aims – Acridocarpus belongs to one of the seven Malpighiaceae lineages that dispersed from the Neotropics to the Paleotropical region, being by far the most widely diversified and distributed genus of the family in Africa. I…

Collection biases in aquatic macrophytes in Brazil: a case study with duckweed (Lemnoideae, Araceae) Open
Lemnoideae species (duckweed) are the smallest angiosperms in the world and typically associated with lentic environments. The challenges in collecting this group and the limited number of studies on this family result in a low number of L…

A new classification system and taxonomic synopsis for Malpighiaceae (Malpighiales, Rosids) based on molecular phylogenetics, morphology, palynology, and chemistry Open
Malpighiaceae has undergone unprecedented changes in its traditional classification in the past two decades due to several phylogenetic studies shedding light on the non-monophyly of all subfamilies and most tribes and genera. Even though …
