(2020-12-31)
Lepanthes is one of the most species-rich genera of orchids in the Neotropics, with most of the species found in medium to high elevation forests and few species in lowlands. We describe and illustrate Lepanthes osaensis, ...
The glandulous Specklinia: morphological convergence versus phylogenetic divergence
(2015-07)

Floral anatomy and evolution of pollination syndromes in Lepanthes and close relatives
(2019-07)
Pleurothallidinae is the largest Neotropical orchid subtribe encompassing >5100 species that are mainly dipteran-pollinated. Various pollination syndromes, targeting hump-backed flies (Phoridae), fungal gnats (Sciaridae), ...
Phylogenetic comparative methods improve the selection of characters for generic delimitations in a hyperdiverse Neotropical orchid clade
(2019)
Taxonomic delimitations are challenging because of the convergent and variable nature of phenotypic
traits. This is evident in species-rich lineages, where the ancestral and derived states and their gains
and losses are ...
