Evolution of Philodendron (Araceae) species in Neotropical biomes
Philodendron is the second most diverse genus of the Araceae, a tropical monocot family with significant morphological diversity along its wide geographic distribution in the Neotropics. Although evolutionary studies of Philodendron were conducted in recent years, the phylogenetic relationship among its species remains unclear. Additionally, analyses conducted to date suggested the inclusion of...
متن کاملEcological adaptation and species recognition drives vocal evolution in neotropical suboscine birds.
Given that evolutionary divergence in mating signals leads to reproductive isolation in numerous animal taxa, understanding what drives signal divergence is fundamental to our understanding of speciation. Mating signals are thought to diverge via several processes, including (1) as a by-product of morphological adaptation, (2) through direct adaptation to the signaling environment, or (3) to fa...
متن کاملDeclines of biomes and biotas and the future of evolution.
Although panel discussants disagreed whether the biodiversity crisis constitutes a mass extinction event, all agreed that current extinction rates are 50-500 times background and are increasing and that the consequences for the future evolution of life are serious. In response to the on-going rapid decline of biomes and homogenization of biotas, the panelists predicted changes in species geogra...
متن کاملPhylogeny, classification, and fruit evolution of the species-rich Neotropical bellflowers (Campanulaceae: Lobelioideae).
UNLABELLED • PREMISE OF THE STUDY The species-rich Neotropical genera Centropogon, Burmeistera, and Siphocampylus represent more than half of the ∼1200 species in the subfamily Lobelioideae (Campanulaceae). They exhibit remarkable morphological variation in floral morphology and habit. Limited taxon sampling and phylogenetic resolution, however, obscures our understanding of relationships bet...
متن کاملReproductive Seasonality of Seven Neotropical Passerine Species
We investigated gonad sizes, nesting patterns, and plasma hormone concentrations of seven Neotropical passerine species in a lowland tropical rainforest (Panama) at 98N latitude over at least one annual cycle. All species had entirely regressed gonads for several months of the year (October to January), coinciding with the end of heavy rainfall. Gonadal recrudescence started in the dry season b...
