| phenological variation within and among populations of plathymenia reticulata in brazilian cerrado, the atlantic forest and transitional sites. | plathymenia reticulata (leguminosae) is a brazilian tree that occurs in two biomes: cerrado, a woody savanna vegetation, and the atlantic forest, a tropical forest. in this study, phenological patterns and their variability within and among populations located in these biomes and in transitional zones between them were assessed. | 2005 | 15972799 |
| phylogeography of plathymenia reticulata (leguminosae) reveals patterns of recent range expansion towards northeastern brazil and southern cerrados in eastern tropical south america. | little is known about past vegetation dynamics in eastern tropical south america (etsa). here we describe patterns of chloroplast (cp) dna variation in plathymenia reticulata, a widespread tree in the etsa atlantic forest and cerrado biomes, but not found in the xeromorphic caatinga. forty one populations, comprising 220 individuals, were analysed by sequencing the trns-trng and trnl-trnl-trnf cpdna regions. combined, they resulted in 18 geographically structured haplotypes. the central region o ... | 2010 | 20149092 |
