DNA metabarcoding assessment of Neotropical ichthyoplankton communities is marker‐dependent by Daniel Fonseca Teixeira, Heron Oliveira Hilário, Gilmar Bastos Santos, Daniel Cardoso Carvalho

“…The combined use of the three markers increased the genera detection rates by 25%–87.5%, allowing an increased taxonomic coverage and robust taxonomic identification of complex Neotropical ichthyoplankton communities. RRA is marker‐dependent, indicating caution is still needed while inferring species abundance based on DNA metabarcoding data when using PCR‐dependent protocols.…”

Overview of the systematics and diversity of Poales in the Neotropics with emphasis on the Brazilian flora by Marccus Alves, Marcelo Trovó, Rafaela C. Forzza, Pedro Viana

“…Bromeliaceae, Cyperaceae, Eriocaulaceae, Juncaceae, Mayacaceae, Poaceae, Rapateaceae, Thurniaceae, Typhaceae, and Xyridaceae are the families represented in the Neotropics. In general terms some areas in the Neotropics could be considered hotspots for Poales with a high number of species in several genera and several centers of endemism – the Guayana Shield, Espinhaço Range and Atlantic Forest are highly diverse in Poales. …”
