Description:

Our research group studies the ecology and the evolution of plants, with special focus on seeds. Seeds are key innovations in the plant kingdom that allowed diversification and dominance of the seed plants. The study of seeds represents a unique opportunity to integrate ideas and theories from plant physiology, plant ecology and evolutionary biology. Moreover, seed science has a key significance for applied ecology, because it provides the grounds for ecological restoration. Through our research, we aim to provide the basis for conservation of extreme environments such as inselbergs and campo rupestre.The LEEPT is coordinated by Fernando A. O. Silveira (also known as Lelê) and it is based at the Department ofPlant Biology, at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. The LEEPT is a young research group (founded in 2013) which is open to collaboration, information sharing and committed to training high-quality human resources in basic and applied research with focus on tropical plant ecology and evolution.In this website, you will find information about our research interests, publication, teaching activities, science outreach and research sites.
