High proportion of cactus species threatened with extinction

Bárbara Goettsch, +82 more
- 05 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that cacti are among the most threatened taxonomic groups assessed to date, with 31% of the 1,478 evaluated species threatened, demonstrating the high anthropogenic pressures on biodiversity in arid lands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative stem anatomy in the subfamily Cactoideae

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis based on structural data (morphology and anatomy) showed that the subfamily Cactoideae is monophyletic, and molecular evidence supports molecular evidence and corroborates that highly reduced leaves are the synapomorphy of this clade.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogenetic Analysis of Pachycereus (Cactaceae, Pachycereeae) based on Chloroplast and Nuclear DNA Sequences

TL;DR: The results suggest that Pachycereus is paraphyletic and that several other genera may be resurrected to accommodate these new phylogenetic insights, and that the subtribe can be divided into three major clades.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular phylogeny, origin and taxonomic implications of the tribe Cacteae (Cactaceae)

TL;DR: In this paper, the phylogenetic relationships of the tribe Cacteae, the generic circumscription within the tribe, in particular, the monophyly of the genus Ferocactus, and to provide a biogeographical hypothesis about the origin of Cactus.
