Revisão sistemática integrativa de estudos com plantas carnívoras no Cerrado

Abstract

The Cerrado is the biome that harbors the greatest floristic diversity among the savannas present in the world with a high level of endemism. Among the vegetation present in the biome, carnivorous plants are found that, although they are autotrophic, have also developed the ability to capture, digest and feed small animals through traps developed in their leaves. The main objective of this research is to carry out an integrative review of the scientific literature on carnivorous/insectivorous plants in the Cerrado. The study was carried out from the survey of scientific publications on the subject through the Scopus and Web of Science databases where they were read in full and analyzed so that the information was grouped by similarity and presented in tables. As for the main results obtained in the research, it was possible to identify 10 publications on the subject over the years, the author Bartosz Jan Płachno presented a greater number of publications (n = 4), with emphasis on studies with an emphasis on taxonomic treatments and descriptions of morphological aspects, 18 species were cited in the surveyed publications and there was a greater number of studies present in the State of Minas Gerais, and especially in the Serra da Canastra region. A list of species occurring in the Cerrado biome was created based on information gathered from the REFLORA platform, totaling 86 species within 3 families (Droseraceae, Lentibulariaceae and Plantaginaceae).
