We propose a method for seed shape quantification based on the comparison of the bi-dimensional images of the seeds with geometric figures. J index is the percent of similarity of a seed image with a figure taken as a model. Models in shape quantification include geometrical figures (circle, ellipse, oval ::: ) and their derivatives, as well as other figures obtained as geometric representations of algebraic equations. The analysis is based on three sources: Published work, images available on the Internet, and seeds collected or stored in our collections. Some of the models here described are applied for the first time in seed morphology, like the superellipses, a group of bidimensional figures that represent well seed shape in species of the Calamoideae and Phoenix canariensis Hort. ex Chabaud.

  • The Discovery of Drosera Magnifica, the “Facebook Sundew”
    Deep in the web, up in the hills: the discovery of Drosera magnifica, the “Facebook sundew” Paulo Minatel Gonella • Lab. Sistemática Vegetal • Instituto de Biociências • Universidade de São Paulo • Brazil • [email protected] Social media are part of the daily life in the modern society: we follow the news on Twitter, share funny gifs on Tumblr, post selfies on Facebook, spread scientific papers on ResearchGate, and share experiences and trade plants in the discussion forums. Among all possible connections achieved by the social media, one that has always captivated me is the bridge they created to connect professional biologists to “citizen scientists”. From the age of the forums to Facebook, I’ve been fol- lowing with keen interest posts with photos of carnivorous plants in their natural habitats in Brazil and abroad, and many new regional records were found that way, and even species discoveries and re-discoveries. The long-lost Drosera ascendens A.St.-Hil. was rediscovered thanks to social media, as it was the discovery of the peculiar D. chimaera Gonella & Rivadavia. Both findings were made possible thanks to photos posted by the carnivorous plant enthusiast Adilson Peres in the Brazilian carnivo- rous plant forum back in 2010. His photos and the information he provided on the location of his encounters enabled us to collect and study these plants, and finally solve the taxonomy of the group (see Gonella et al. 2014). Cases of discoveries of new species thanks to social media are not restrict- ed to carnivorous plants, though. The enormous palm Tahina spectabilis J.Dransf.

  • A Laid-Back Trip Through the Hennigian Forests
    A laid-back trip through the Hennigian Forests Evgeny V. Mavrodiev1, Christopher Dell1,* and Laura Schroder2,3,* 1 University of Florida, Florida Museum of Natural History, Gainesville, FL, USA 2 Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology of University of Tennessee, University of Tennessee Health Science Center Washington, Memphis, TN, USA 3 Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho Medical Education Program, University of Idaho, Moscow, ID, USA * These authors contributed equally to this work. ABSTRACT Background. This paper is a comment on the idea of matrix-free Cladistics. Demon- stration of this idea's efficiency is a major goal of the study. Within the proposed framework, the ordinary (phenetic) matrix is necessary only as ``source'' of Hennigian trees, not as a primary subject of the analysis. Switching from the matrix-based thinking to the matrix-free Cladistic approach clearly reveals that optimizations of the character-state changes are related not to the real processes, but to the form of the data representation. Methods. We focused our study on the binary data. We wrote the simple ruby-based script FORESTER version 1.0 that helps represent a binary matrix as an array of the rooted trees (as a ``Hennigian forest''). The binary representations of the genomic (DNA) data have been made by script 1001. The Average Consensus method as well as the standard Maximum Parsimony (MP) approach has been used to analyze the data. Principle findings. The binary matrix may be easily re-written as a set of rooted trees (maximal relationships). The latter might be analyzed by the Average Consensus method. Paradoxically, this method, if applied to the Hennigian forests, in principle can help to identify clades despite the absence of the direct evidence from the primary data.

  • The HTS Barcode Checker Pipeline, a Tool for Automated Detection Of
    Lammers et al. BMC Bioinformatics 2014, 15:44 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/15/44 SOFTWARE Open Access The HTS barcode checker pipeline, a tool for automated detection of illegally traded species from high-throughput sequencing data Youri Lammers1, Tamara Peelen2, Rutger A Vos1 and Barbara Gravendeel1,3,4* Abstract Background: Mixtures of internationally traded organic substances can contain parts of species protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). These mixtures often raise the suspicion of border control and customs offices, which can lead to confiscation, for example in the case of Traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). High-throughput sequencing of DNA barcoding markers obtained from such samples provides insight into species constituents of mixtures, but manual cross-referencing of results against the CITES appendices is labor intensive. Matching DNA barcodes against NCBI GenBank using BLAST may yield misleading results both as false positives, due to incorrectly annotated sequences, and false negatives, due to spurious taxonomic re-assignment. Incongruence between the taxonomies of CITES and NCBI GenBank can result in erroneous estimates of illegal trade. Results: The HTS barcode checker pipeline is an application for automated processing of sets of ‘next generation’ barcode sequences to determine whether these contain DNA barcodes obtained from species listed on the CITES appendices. This analytical pipeline builds upon and extends existing open-source applications for BLAST matching against the NCBI GenBank reference database and for taxonomic name reconciliation. In a single operation, reads are converted into taxonomic identifications matched with names on the CITES appendices.
