Outstanding plant endemism levels strongly support the recognition of campo rupestre provinces in mountaintops of eastern South America (2019, background): “Serra do Espinhaço complex (Simon & Proença, 2000).”
Neotropical Plant Evolution: Assembling the Big Picture (2013, background): “It is also apparent that for some of the most species-rich genera of the cerrado in the broad sense, such as Mimosa L. (Simon & Proença, 2000) and Paepalanthus Kunth.”
Review of plant biogeographic studies in Brazil (2009, background): “A few taxonomic based biogeographic studies (e.g., Simon & Proença, 2000; Fiaschi & Pirani, 2008) seem to corroborate these patterns, and phylogeographic studies of endemic Cerrado plant species are suggestive of genetic structuring among these floristic provinces following Quaternary climatic…”
The diversification of eastern South American open vegetation biomes: Historical biogeography and perspectives (2011, background): “Distribution patterns of certain plant groups and, more particularly of the legume genus Mimosa, suggest that the main Cerrado endemism centers are at highlands (the Chapada dos Veadeiros region in Goiás, the Espinhaço complex in Minas Gerais, the Distrito Federal, and the Chapada dos Guimarães in M”
