Widespread mistaken identity in tropical plant collections

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, while the world's collections have more than doubled since 1970, more than 50% of tropical specimens are likely to be incorrectly named, which has serious implications for the uncritical use of specimen data from natural history collections.
Journal ArticleDOI

A taxonomic monograph of Ipomoea integrated across phylogenetic scales

TL;DR: It is shown that more than 60 species of Ipomoea, including sweet potato, independently evolved storage roots in pre-human times, indicating that the storage root is not solely a product of human domestication but a trait that predisposed the species for cultivation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A checklist of the vascular plants of the lowland savannas of Belize, Central America

TL;DR: The lowland savanna is shown to be a significant regional centre of plant diversity and there are geographical biases in botanical sampling which have focused historically on the savanna in the centre and the north of the country.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expanding tropical forest monitoring into dry forests: the DRYFLOR protocol for permanent plots.

Peter W. Moonlight, +58 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a protocol for permanent monitoring plots in tropical dry forests. But despite increasing appreciation of their threatened status, biodiversity, and importance to the global carbon cycle, monitoring in tropical drier forests is still in its infancy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterizing growth rings in the trees of Perú: A wood anatomical overview for potential applications in dendroecological-related fields

TL;DR: This contribution represents the most exhaustive record to date of the occurrence and anatomy of growth rings in trees of the Peruvian tropics, which can be used to inform future dendrochronological studies.
