“…Another endemic genus of Atlantic Forest is Grazielodendron (Fabaceae), that we found to be an indicator of tropical semideciduous forest. This genus is monotypic, with just one species ( Grazielodendron riodocensis ), which shows a restricted distribution in the states of Bahia, Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro, in southeastern Brazil (de Lima, 2012), and with a predominant occurrence in the seasonal lowland forests in the Região dos Lagos, Rio de Janeiro state (Ribeiro & Lima, 2009). For tropical and subtropical highland forest, we found two Ericaceae genera ( Agarista and Gaultheria ) to be indicators of this evolutionary group.…”

Aim We used a phylogenetic approach to group assemblages of woody plant into major vegetation units in the Atlantic Forest, thus for the first time incorporating information on species evolutionary relationships into a bioregionalization of this critical hotspot. A phylogenetic regionalization will provide a spatially explicit framework for answering many basic and applied questions in biogeography, ecology and conservation. Location Atlantic Forest. Taxon Angiosperms Methods Our data set comprises 614 genera and 116 families, spread over 1,755 assemblages. To place assemblages in a multivariate evolutionary composition space, we used a phylogenetically informed ordination analysis, and to determine what the main phylogenetic groups of assemblages were, we used K‐means clustering based on phylogenetic dissimilarity of assemblages. To quantify how well environmental variables distinguish the phylogenetic groups found, we implemented classification tree approaches. Then, to explore the evolutionary turnover between the phylogenetic groups, we calculated phylogenetic beta diversity. Finally, we determined the lineages that are most strongly associated with individual phylogenetic groups using an indicator analysis for lineages. Results Our analyses suggest that there are seven principal groups, in terms of evolutionary lineage composition, in the Atlantic Forest. The greatest turnover of phylogenetic lineage composition separates tropical evergreen rain forest and semideciduous assemblages from subtropical and highland assemblages. The mixed subtropical forest showed the lowest phylogenetic compositional similarity values with other groups. Tropical rain forest had the highest number of significant indicator lineages, and the highest values of the indicator statistic for lineages. Main conclusions We found that the most pronounced evolutionary division separates southern and highland tree assemblages from those occurring under more tropical climates and at lower elevations. Our phylogenetic analyses point to an environmentally driven compositional division, likely based on the regular occurrence of freezing versus non‐freezing temperatures. Precipitation and edaphic regimes that assemblages experience had less definitive effects on their evolutionary lineage composition.

“…(Goias and Mato Grosso), C. paupera (Herzog) Dwyer (Acre), and C. lucens Dwyer (Bahia, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo) [ 5 ]. Although many species of Copaifera have wide occurrence within the Brazilian territory, and may occur in different phytogeographic domains (e.g., C. langsdorffii ), some feature endemism, such as C. trapezifolia Hayne, which occurs in an extremely disturbed region of the Atlantic rainforest, of which only 11.6% of the natural vegetation cover remains [ 21 ]. Thus, morphological, physiological, and ecological studies are highly relevant for the preservation of species and their natural environment [ 11 ].…”

The oleoresin of Copaifera trees has been widely used as a traditional medicine in Neotropical regions for thousands of years and remains a popular treatment for a variety of ailments. The copaiba resins are generally composed of a volatile oil made up largely of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, such as β-caryophyllene, α-copaene, β-elemene, α-humulene, and germacrene D. In addition, the oleoresin is also made up of several biologically active diterpene acids, including copalic acid, kaurenoic acid, alepterolic acid, and polyalthic acid. This review presents a summary of the ecology and distribution of Copaifera species, the traditional uses, the biological activities, and the phytochemistry of copaiba oleoresins. In addition, several biomolecular targets relevant to the bioactivities have been implicated by molecular docking methods.

“…Our results are consistent with the postulates of Dutra et al (2015) showing that families such as Asteraceae, Bromeliaceae, Melastomataceae, Orchidaceae and Rubiaceae contribute with a large number of species in the vegetation of Espírito Santo. Fabaceae, although reported by these authors as one of the main families, has lower relative importance with the increase of altitude (Oliveira Filho and Fontes 2000), corroborating its low representation in Serra do Valentim, except for some genera such as Inga that show preference for humid sites (Ribeiro and Lima 2009).…”

Vascular plant diversity in a Brazilian hotspot: floristic knowledge gaps and tools for conservation

et al. 2017

We present one of the first lists of vascular plants for an area in the Brazilian State of Espírito Santo (ES). Field expeditions were carried out between 2011 and 2016 in four portions of vegetation in Serra do Valentim, ES, to collect samples of reproductive botanical material. After identification, we found a total of 590 species distributed in 327 genera and 112 botanical families. Orchidaceae (61 spp.), Melastomataceae (40), Asteraceae (37), Rubiaceae (29) and Polypodiaceae and Solanaceae (24) were some of the families with the highest species richness. We report 11 new records of species for Espírito Santo, three new species for science and 54 endangered species, demonstrating the floristic importance of Serra do Valentim. Our efforts were decisive in helping to fill knowledge gaps regarding the flora of Espirito Santo state, providing a basis for conducting species conservation and enhancing the value of small forest remnants, which should be considered in research and inventory proposals.
