The Leguminosae, the third–largest angiosperm family, has a global distribution and high
ecological and economic impor tance. We examine how the legume systematic research …

The classification of the legume family proposed here addresses the long‐known non‐monophyly
of the traditionally recognised subfamily Caesalpinioideae, by recognising six robustly …

A monophyletic pantropical group of papilionoid legumes, here referred to as the “dalbergioid”
legumes, is circumscribed to include all genera previously referred to the tribes …

The sensitivity of tropical forest carbon to climate is a key uncertainty in predicting global
climate change. Although short-term drying and warming are known to affect forests, it is …

The basal subfamily Caesalpinioideae of the Leguminosae generally is subdivided into four
or five tribes, but their monophyly remains questionable. Recent cladistic analyses based on …

The Andes are the most species-rich global biodiversity hotspot. Most research and
conservation attention in the Andes has focused on biomes such as rain forest, cloud forest, and …

The Swartzieae, Sophoreae, Dipterygeae, and Dalbergieae are considered the most basal
tribes of the subfamily Papilionoideae (Leguminosae). Nucleotide sequences from the …

Background The study of traditional knowledge of medicinal plants has led to discoveries
that have helped combat diseases and improve healthcare. However, the development of …

Amazonian forests are extraordinarily diverse, but the estimated species richness is very
much debated. Here, we apply an ensemble of parametric estimators and a novel technique …
