Using melissopalynology, we aimed to identify the plant species used by Frieseomelitta longipes (Smith, 1854) in the Tapaj贸s鈥揂rapiuns Extractive Reserve, a protected area in the Brazilian Amazon Basin. Honey samples were collected from F. longipes colonies in the An and Solimes communities ...
Angola is botanically rich and floristically diverse, but is still very unevenly explored with very few collections from the eastern half of the country. We present an overview of historical and current botanical activity in Angola, and point to some areas of future research. Approximately 6850 sp...
The forests and savannahs of the Amazon basin and Guiana Shield (here Amazonia) arguably hold the greatest biodiversity on Earth: an estimated 1300 species of birds, 427 species of mammals and 50,000 species of seed plants1,2. Whereas the collection record for birds and mammals may be ...
The lowland rainforest of the Amazon River basin and Guiana Shield, hereafter Amazonia, covers an area of nearly 6 million km2with an estimated total number of 3.9 × 1011trees (diameter at 1.30 m - dbh ≥ 10 cm)1. Sampling such an extensive area has been extremely limited, and ac...
comb. A detailed analysis of the composition of the palynoflora allows its identification with the late Viséan Cordylosporites magnidictyus Palynozone, recently defined in the Amazon Basin in Brazil. Worldwide comparison of the Peruvian association indicates greater affinity with coeval palynofloras...
Transitional vegetation zones in the neotropics harbor high biodiversity and are threatened by advancing deforestation and climate change. Besides, the diversity patterns at multiple spatial scales are little understood. We investigated the woody flora of eight savanna sites over 700 km along the transiti...

Here I review the geographic distribution of white-sand forests, and discuss the environmental drivers that influence change in species composition and phylogenetic community structure in white-sand vegetation across the Amazon Basin. Next, I consider plant strategies that promote survival and reproduction...
