Epidemiology of the Invasion by Miconia Calvescens And
J.-Y. Meyer 4 EPIDEMIOLOGY OF THE INVASION BY MICONIA CALVESCENS AND REASONS FOR A SPECTACULAR SUCCESS ÉPIDÉMIOLOGIE DE L’INVASION PAR MICONIA CALVESCENS ET RAISONS D’UN SUCCÈS SPECTACULAIRE JEAN-YVES MEYER1, 2 1 Délégation à la Recherche, B.P. 20981 Papeete, Tahiti, POLYNÉSIE FRANÇAISE. 2 Cooperative National Park Resource Studies Unit, Botany Department, University of Hawai’i at Manoa, Honolulu, HAWAI’I (USA). Miconia calvescens is a small tree native to rainforests of tropical America where it is uncommon. First described around 1850, it was introduced to European tropical greenhouses then distributed to tropical botanical gardens all over the world because of its horticultural success. M.c. was introduced as an ornamental plant in the Society Islands and the Hawaiian Islands and in 25-35 years became a dominant invasive plant in both archipelagoes. Small populations were recently discovered in the Marquesas Islands (Nuku Hiva and Fatu Iva) in 1997. M.c. is also naturalized in private gardens of New Caledonia and Grenada (West Indies), in tropical forests of Sri Lanka, and in the Queensland region in Australia. The survey of the epidemiology of invasion in Tahiti shows that M.c.’s extension was slow but continuous since its introduction in 1937. Hurricanes of 1982-83 played more a role of “revealer” rather than of “detonator” of the invasion. The lag phase observed between the introduction date and the observation of dense populations may be explained by the generation time of M.c.. Several hypothesis may explain the spectacular success of M.c.: (1) the characteristics of the invaded area; (2) the plant’s bio-ecological characteristics; (3) the “facilitation phenomenon“ and the “opportunities“. -

Phylogeny and Classification of the Melastomataceae and Memecylaceae
Nord. J. Bot. - Section of tropical taxonomy Phylogeny and classification of the Melastomataceae and Memecy laceae Susanne S. Renner Renner, S. S. 1993. Phylogeny and classification of the Melastomataceae and Memecy- laceae. - Nord. J. Bot. 13: 519-540. Copenhagen. ISSN 0107-055X. A systematic analysis of the Melastomataceae, a pantropical family of about 4200- 4500 species in c. 166 genera, and their traditional allies, the Memecylaceae, with c. 430 species in six genera, suggests a phylogeny in which there are two major lineages in the Melastomataceae and a clearly distinct Memecylaceae. Melastomataceae have close affinities with Crypteroniaceae and Lythraceae, while Memecylaceae seem closer to Myrtaceae, all of which were considered as possible outgroups, but sister group relationships in this plexus could not be resolved. Based on an analysis of all morph- ological and anatomical characters useful for higher level grouping in the Melastoma- taceae and Memecylaceae a cladistic analysis of the evolutionary relationships of the tribes of the Melastomataceae was performed, employing part of the ingroup as outgroup. Using 7 of the 21 characters scored for all genera, the maximum parsimony program PAUP in an exhaustive search found four 8-step trees with a consistency index of 0.86. Because of the limited number of characters used and the uncertain monophyly of some of the tribes, however, all presented phylogenetic hypotheses are weak. A synapomorphy of the Memecylaceae is the presence of a dorsal terpenoid-producing connective gland, a synapomorphy of the Melastomataceae is the perfectly acrodro- mous leaf venation. Within the Melastomataceae, a basal monophyletic group consists of the Kibessioideae (Prernandra) characterized by fiber tracheids, radially and axially included phloem, and median-parietal placentation (placentas along the mid-veins of the locule walls). -

Por tudo. AGRADECIMENTOS Agradeço formalmente as agências que concederam as bolsas de estudos sem as quais seria impossível o desenvolvimento deste trabalho ao longo dos últimos 4 anos e meio: CAPES (PNADB e PDSE), CNPQ (programa REFLORA) e NSF (EUA) no âmbito do projeto PBI Miconieae por financiar o trabalho em campo e herbários na Amazônia e também a parte molecular apresentada no Capítulo I. Foram tantas as pessoas que me acompanharam nessa jornada ou que felizmente cruzaram o meu caminho ao decorrer dela, que não posso chegar ao destino sem agradecê-las... O meu maior agradecimento vai ao meu orientador sempre presente Dr. Renato Goldenberg que desde o mestrado confiou em meu trabalho e compartilhou muito conhecimento sobre taxonomia, Melastomataceae e às vezes, até mesmo vida. Sem o seu trabalho, seu profissionalismo e a sua paciência esta tese jamais seria possível. Agradeço pelo tempo que dedicou em me ajudar tanto a crescer como profissional e também como pessoa. Agradeço muito ao meu co-orientador Dr. Fabián Michelangeli por todos os ensinamentos e ajudas no período de estágio sanduíche no Jardim Botânico de Nova Iorque. Todo o seu esforço em reunir e compartilhar bibliografias, angariar recursos e treinar alunos (no quais eu me incluo) tem feito toda a diferença na compreensão da sistemática de Melastomataceae e deixado frutos de inestimável valor. -

PhytoKeys 136: 1–21. https://doi.org/10.3897/ phytokeys.136.38558 Abstract The systematics of Tryssophyton, herbs endemic to the Pakaraima Mountains of western Guyana, is re- viewed and Tryssophyton quadrifolius K.Wurdack & Michelang., sp. nov. from the summit of Kamakusa Mountain is described as the second species in the genus. The new species is distinguished from its closest relative, Tryssophyton merumense, by striking vegetative differences, including number of leaves per stem and leaf architecture. A phylogenetic analysis of sequence data from three plastid loci and Melastomata- ceae-wide taxon sampling is presented. The two species of Tryssophyton are recovered as monophyletic and associated with mostly Old World tribe Sonerileae. Fruit, seed and leaf morphology are described for the first time, biogeography is discussed and both species are illustrated. -

CEP 66092-100ÐBeleÂmÐParaÂÐBrazil Alternative hypotheses were tested to explain a previously reported anomaly in the response of leaf photosynthetic capacity at light saturation (Amax)inMiconia ciliata to dry-season irrigation. The anomaly is characterized by an abrupt increase in leaf Amax for nonirrigated plants at the onset of the rainy season to values that signi®cantly exceeded corresponding measurements for plants that were irrigated during the previous dry season. Hypothesis 1 posits that a pulse in leaf nitrogen increases CO2 assimilation in nonirrigated plants at the onset of the wet season and is dampened for irrigated plants; this hypothesis was rejected because, although a wet-season nitrogen pulse did occur, it was identical for both irrigated and nonirrigated plants and was preceded by the increase in assimilation by nonirrigated plants. -
