Disentangling enabler and adaptive traits across habitat shifts in a large neotropical plant clade

The paper investigates how vegetative and reproductive traits contribute to habitat shifts in Neotropical Myrtaceae, finding vegetative traits act as enablers while reproductive traits show both enabler and adaptive patterns.

Herbarium-based measurements are reliable predictors of fresh plant traits in Neotropical Myrtaceae

The paper tests if herbarium measurements can reliably predict fresh plant traits in Neotropical Myrtaceae, finding they can when organ-specific responses are considered.

Hierarchical constraints and trade-offs in the evolution of reproductive traits in neotropical myrtles

The paper examines evolutionary correlations among reproductive traits in neotropical myrtles, finding hierarchical constraints and trade-offs between flowers, fruits, and seeds.

Floristic, structural, successional and phylogenetic disparities in a mosaic of adjacent forest physiognomies in the Atlantic Forest

The paper compares floristic, structural, successional, and phylogenetic features of three adjacent forest environments in the Atlantic Forest to distinguish between successional dynamics and edaphic climax vegetation.
