Appendix 1 Appendix 1 Page 1 of 28 Appendixes Appendix 1 Appendix 1. The components of the questionnaire used in the assessment of resources used in SANParks. The current version has been adapted formfrom the original four excel sheets for publication purposes. Sheet 1: Terrestrial resources Questions are posed in terms of the following resource use types (rows): (1) Plants used for medicinal, magical or ritual purposes (2) Plants or plant parts used as a food source (e.g. fruits, leaves, roots) (3) Plant material used for construction (poles, grass, wood, reeds, sedges) (4) Plant material used for fuel wood and charcoal (5) Plant material used to produce handcrafts e.g. basketry, weaving, carving and/or household items (6) Timber used for furniture making or other construction purposes (excl. use of poles) (7) Plant material (Tree seedlings, cut flowers, ferns, drift wood) used in gardens, nurseries or for flower arrangements or decoration (8) Animals used for medicinal, magical or ritual purposes (e.g. skins, horns, hair.)

Resurrection of Agama agama turuensis Loveridge, 1932 (Squamata: Agamidae) from synonymy and elevation to species rank Philipp Wagner, Patrick Krause & Wolfgang Böhme Abstract. New material of Agama agama Linnaeus, 758 from Mount Hanang, Tanzania is indistingu- ishable from the type material of Agama agama turuensis Loveridge, 932, a taxon which is so far con- sidered to be a synonym of Agama lionotus elgonis Lönnberg, 922. Our comparative morphological study demonstrates turuensis is most similar to Agama mwanzae Loveridge, 923 and Agama kaimosae Loveridge, 935, and distinct from both A. agama and A. lionotus Boulenger, 896. Agama turuensis can likewise neither be assigned to A. mwanzae nor A. kaimosae but has to be rather considered as a dis- tinct species. Key words.

  • Circumscription and Phylogeny of Apiaceae Subfamily Saniculoideae Based on Chloroplast DNA Sequences
    ARTICLE IN PRESS Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution xxx (2007) xxx–xxx www.elsevier.com/locate/ympev Circumscription and phylogeny of Apiaceae subfamily Saniculoideae based on chloroplast DNA sequences Carolina I. Calviño a,b,¤, Stephen R. Downie a a Department of Plant Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801-3707, USA b Instituto de Botánica Darwinion, Buenos Aires, Argentina Received 14 July 2006; revised 3 January 2007; accepted 4 January 2007 Abstract An estimate of phylogenetic relationships within Apiaceae subfamily Saniculoideae was inferred using data from the chloroplast DNA trnQ-trnK 5Ј-exon region to clarify the circumscription of the subfamily and to assess the monophyly of its constituent genera. Ninety- one accessions representing 14 genera and 82 species of Apiaceae were examined, including the genera Steganotaenia, Polemanniopsis, and Lichtensteinia which have been traditionally treated in subfamily Apioideae but determined in recent studies to be more closely related to or included within subfamily Saniculoideae. The trnQ-trnK 5Ј-exon region includes two intergenic spacers heretofore underutilized in molecular systematic studies and the rps16 intron. Analyses of these loci permitted an assessment of the relative utility of these noncoding regions (including the use of indel characters) for phylogenetic study at diVerent hierarchical levels. The use of indels in phylogenetic anal- yses of both combined and partitioned data sets improves resolution of relationships, increases bootstrap support values, and decreases levels of overall homoplasy. Intergeneric relationships derived from maximum parsimony, Bayesian, and maximum likelihood analyses, as well as from maximum parsimony analysis of indel data alone, are fully resolved and consistent with one another and generally very well supported.

  • Checklist of the Vascular Alien Flora of Catalonia (Northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) Pere Aymerich1 & Llorenç Sáez2,3
    BOTANICAL CHECKLISTS Mediterranean Botany ISSNe 2603-9109 https://dx.doi.org/10.5209/mbot.63608 Checklist of the vascular alien flora of Catalonia (northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) Pere Aymerich1 & Llorenç Sáez2,3 Received: 7 March 2019 / Accepted: 28 June 2019 / Published online: 7 November 2019 Abstract. This is an inventory of the vascular alien flora of Catalonia (northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) updated to 2018, representing 1068 alien taxa in total. 554 (52.0%) out of them are casual and 514 (48.0%) are established. 87 taxa (8.1% of the total number and 16.8 % of those established) show an invasive behaviour. The geographic zone with more alien plants is the most anthropogenic maritime area. However, the differences among regions decrease when the degree of naturalization of taxa increases and the number of invaders is very similar in all sectors. Only 26.2% of the taxa are more or less abundant, while the rest are rare or they have vanished. The alien flora is represented by 115 families, 87 out of them include naturalised species. The most diverse genera are Opuntia (20 taxa), Amaranthus (18 taxa) and Solanum (15 taxa). Most of the alien plants have been introduced since the beginning of the twentieth century (70.7%), with a strong increase since 1970 (50.3% of the total number). Almost two thirds of alien taxa have their origin in Euro-Mediterranean area and America, while 24.6% come from other geographical areas. The taxa originated in cultivation represent 9.5%, whereas spontaneous hybrids only 1.2%. From the temporal point of view, the rate of Euro-Mediterranean taxa shows a progressive reduction parallel to an increase of those of other origins, which have reached 73.2% of introductions during the last 50 years.

It is abundant and diverse, with complex taxonomic relations. In order to expand the knowledge about the classification of Kazakhstan species and compare it with classical studies, matK genes of nine local species in- cluding endemic were sequenced. The infrageneric rank of one of them (A. kotuchovii) had re- mained unknown. In this study, we analysed results of sequences using two methods — NJ and MP and compared them with a median-joining haplotype network. As a result, monophyletic origin of the genus and subgenus Dracunculus was confirmed. Closeness of A. kotuchovii to other spe- cies of Dracunculus suggests its belonging to this subgenus. Generally, matK was shown as a useful barcode marker for the identification and investigation of Artemisia genus. Key words: Artemisia, Artemisia kotuchovii, DNA barcoding, haplotype network. INTRODUCTION (Bremer, 1994; Torrel et al., 1999). Due to the large amount of species in the genus, their classification is still complex Artemisia of the family Asteraceae is a genus with great and not fully completed.

In this paper we review the definition and occurrence of obdiplostemony, and analyse how the condition has impacted on floral diversification and species evolution. Key Results Obdiplostemony represents an amalgamation of at least five different floral developmental pathways, all of them leading to the external positioning of the alternisepalous stamen whorl within a two-whorled androe- cium. In secondary obdiplostemony the antesepalous stamens arise before the alternisepalous stamens. The position of alternisepalous stamens at maturity is more external due to subtle shifts of stamens linked to a weakening of the alternisepalous sector including stamen and petal (type I), alternisepalous stamens arising de facto externally of antesepalous stamens (type II) or alternisepalous stamens shifting outside due to the sterilization of antesepalous sta- mens (type III: Sapotaceae).
