Natural history of the narrow endemics Ipomoea cavalcantei and I. marabaensis from Amazon Canga savannahs

Abstract Amazon comprises a vast variety of ecosystems, including savannah-like Canga barrens that evolved on iron-lateritic rock plateaus of the Carajás Mountain range. Individual Cangas are enclosed by the rain forest, indicating insular isolation that enables speciation and plant community differ...
