Abstract

During a biodiversity monitoring of woody and herbaceous plants in 2023, we observed the formation of new individuals through cloning in Velloziaceae species. Based on recorded evidence and scientific literature, we discussed the importance of cloning in maintaining the high dominance of these species in seasonal open ecosystems. In addition, we hope to shed light on the discussion of the importance of asexual reproduction through cloning and resprouting strategies in plants widely widespread in savanna ecosystems.

揭示热带稀树草原无性繁殖的相关性：薇洛姿科植物的克隆

在 2023 年对木本和草本植物进行生物多样性监测期间，我们观察到薇洛姿科（Velloziaceae）物种通过克隆形成新个体。根据记录的证据和科学文献，我们讨论了克隆对维持这些物种在季节性开放生态系统中的高度优势地位的重要性。此外，我们还希望通过讨论热带稀树草原生态系统中广泛分布的植物通过克隆和重新萌发策略进行无性繁殖的重要性，为我们提供启发。

期刊介绍： Ranked by the ISI index, Biotropica is a highly regarded source of original research on the ecology, conservation and management of all tropical ecosystems, and on the evolution, behavior, and population biology of tropical organisms. Published on behalf of the Association of Tropical Biology and Conservation, the journal''s Special Issues and Special Sections quickly become indispensable references for researchers in the field. Biotropica publishes timely Papers, Reviews, Commentaries, and Insights. Commentaries generate thought-provoking ideas that frequently initiate fruitful debate and discussion, while Reviews provide authoritative and analytical overviews of topics of current conservation or ecological importance. The newly instituted category Insights replaces Short Communications.
