Ecosphere 6(7):111. http://dx.doi.org/10.1890/ ES14-00548.1 Abstract. Metacommunity dynamics is marked by a gradient ranging from pure ecological determinism to pure stochasticity. This gradient encompasses compositional turnover that is governed by ecological drift, selection and dispersal. Here we estimate the influences of selection, dispersal limitation acting in concert with drift, drift acting alone and homogenizing dispersal on the structure of tropical restinga heath vegetation growing under stressful conditions in north-eastern South America. We hypothesize that if abiotic heterogeneity is strong enough, it could select distinct sets of colonizing species from neighbor ecosystems, with stress sensitive species occupying refuges created by abiotic heterogeneity and stress tolerators dominating the more exposed areas. In this case selection would occur at both biogeographical and local scales. Under its prevalence, we expect selection to have a major signature in the woody plant community structure in a phylogenetic null model. Alternatively, if abiotic heterogeneity is not strong enough to impose significant selection, the environment would be homogeneously stressful for the majority of species, and would be dominated species selected at biogeographical scale only. Under its prevalence, we expect drift to have a major signature in the phylogenetic null model. We used an analytical framework based on phylogenetic and community structure null models to assess the relative importance of ecological processes. We also aimed to characterize the ecosystem features that impose selection and dispersal limitation. We found that 95.1% of turnover in composition is attributable to drift, 2.4% to homogenizing dispersal, 2.1% to selection, and just 0.40% to dispersal limitation, thus confirming our Neutrality hypothesis. As expected, both soil and topographic variables influenced metacommunity structure. However, contrary to our prediction, light availability and vegetation structure were also important. The predominance of coarse spatial patterns correlated to topographic and soil properties suggests that coarse differences in wind exposure and associated vegetation and soil factors represent the main selective forces acting on the studied vegetation. The dominance of drift in the assembly of restinga heath vegetation is likely to result from homogeneously stressful environmental conditions and also from the ongoing colonization process that is taking place in the restinga by immigrants from species-rich neighboring ecosystems.

As coletas mensais ocorreram entre Setembro de 2004 e Novembro de 2005. A área de estudo compreendeu oito trilhas, distribuídas nas áreas de florestas estacionais submontana, montana e altimontana. Este estudo taxonômico resultou na amostragem de 30 táxons, subordinados a 20 gêneros, os quais se distribuem entre as três subfamílias, destacando-se Papilionoideae como a de maior riqueza, tanto em número de gêneros (12) quanto de espécies (18). O gênero mais representativo foi Senna com três espécies, seguido por Bauhinia, Acacia, Inga, Piptadenia, Crotalaria, Dalbergia, Desmodium e Machaerium, todos com duas. Calliandra, Mimosa, Aeschynomene, Chaetocalyx, Camptosema, Clitoria, Dioclea, Indigofera, Poiretia, Trifolium e Vigna apresentaram apenas uma espécie. São fornecidos chave de identificação, descrições, ilustrações e comentários sobre fenologia, taxonomia e distribuição geográfica dos táxons.

Biota Neotropica. 17(1): e20160236. http:// dx.doi.org/10.1590/1676-0611-BN-2016-0236 Abstract: Located in the municipalities of Ouro Preto and Mariana, in the Quadrilátero Ferrífero (QF) of Minas Gerais, the Itacolomi State Park (ISP) shelters more than 7,000 ha of remnants of Atlantic Forest and campos rupestres. The QF region has high biodiversity and is being highly impacted, mainly by mining activities. Aiming to organize the available floristic information and to support related research, this study presents the list of phanerogamic species of the ISP and the major vegetation types. This survey was carried out from October/1992 to July/2006, by monthly field trips. Besides authors´ personal collections, other records were assembled from herbarium databank.

Since Nägeli first plants. A plant phylogeny was then used to map the my- described them in 1842 (see Koide and Mosse 2004), only a corrhizal information to examine evolutionary patterns. Sev- few major surveys have been conducted on their phyloge- eral findings from this survey enhance our understanding of netic distribution in various groups of land plants either by the roles of mycorrhizas in the origin and subsequent diver- retrieving information from literature or through direct ob- sification of land plants. First, 80 and 92% of surveyed land servation (Trappe 1987; Harley and Harley 1987;Newman plant species and families are mycorrhizal. Second, arbus- and Reddell 1987). Trappe (1987) gathered information on cular mycorrhiza (AM) is the predominant and ancestral type the presence and absence of mycorrhizas in 6,507 species of of mycorrhiza in land plants. Its occurrence in a vast majority angiosperms investigated in previous studies and mapped the of land plants and early-diverging lineages of liverworts phylogenetic distribution of mycorrhizas using the classifi- suggests that the origin of AM probably coincided with the cation system by Cronquist (1981).
