Palm species richness, latitudinal gradients, sampling effort, and deforestation in the Amazon region

Palm species richness, latitudinal gradients, sampling effort, and deforestation in the Amazon region

ABSTRACT Palms are most diverse in warm and humid regions near the equator. Though palms remain relatively well conserved, they are under increasing pressure from deforestation. Here, we analyze patterns of palm species richness relative to latitudinal gradient, sampling effort, and deforestation in...
