We report here for the first time the occurrence of a member of the genus in China, Stillingia lineata subsp. pacifica. The distribution of the genus in China is apparently narrow, known only from Pingzhou and Wanzhou Islands of the Wanshan Archipelago in the South China Sea, which is close to the Pearl River estuary. This study updates our knowledge on the geographic distribution of the genus, and provides new palynological data as well. Key words: Island, Hippomaneae, South China Sea, Stillingia lineata Introduction During the last decade, hundreds of new plant species or new species records have been added to the flora of China. Nevertheless, newly described or newly recorded plant genera are not discovered and reported very often, suggesting that botanical expedition and plant survey at the generic level may be advanced in China. As far as we know, only six and eight angiosperm genera respectively have been newly described or newly recorded from China within the last ten years (Qiang et al.

  • Temporal Diversification of Mesoamerican Cichlid Fishes Across
    MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS AND EVOLUTION Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 31 (2004) 754–764 www.elsevier.com/locate/ympev Temporal diversification of Mesoamerican cichlid fishes across a major biogeographic boundary C. Darrin Hulsey,a,* Francisco J. Garcıa de Leon, b Yara Sanchez Johnson,b Dean A. Hendrickson,c and Thomas J. Neara,1 a Center for Population Biology, Department of Evolution and Ecology, University of California-Davis, Davis, CA 95616, USA b Laboratorio de Biologıa Integrativa, Instituto Tecnologico de Cuidad Victoria (ITCV), Mexico c Section of Integrative Biology, University of Texas-Austin, Austin, TX 78712, USA Received 18 June 2003; revised 26 August 2003 Abstract The Mexican Neovolcanic Plateau sharply divides the vertebrate fauna of Mesoamerica where the climate of both the neotropics and temperate North America gradually blend. Only a few vertebrate groups such as the Heroine cichlids, distributed from South America to the Rio Grande in North America, are found both north and south of the Neovolcanic Plateau. To better understand the geography and temporal diversification of cichlids at this geologic boundary, we used mitochondrial DNA sequences of the cy- tochrome b (cyt b) gene to reconstruct the relationships of 52 of the approximately 80 species of Heroine cichlids in Mesoamerica. Our analysis suggests several cichlids in South America should be considered as part of the Mesoamerican Heroine clade because they and the cichlids north of the Isthmus of Panama are clearly supported as monophyletic with respect to all other Neotropical cichlids. We also recovered a group containing species in Paratheraps + Paraneetroplus + Vieja as the sister clade to Herichthys. Herichthys is the only cichlid clade north of the Mexican Plateau and it is monophyletic.

W. Mennega Nationaal Herbarium Nederland, Utrecht University branch, Heidelberglaan 2, 3584 es Utrecht, The Netherlands SUMMARY The wood anatomy was studied of 82 species from 34 out of 54 genera in the subfamily Euphorbioideae, covering all five tribes recognized in this subfamily. In general the woods show a great deal of similarity. They are charac­ terized by a relative paucity of vessels, often arranged in short to long, dumbbell-shaped or twin, radial multiples, and by medium-sized to large intervessel pits; fibres often have gelatinous walls; parenchyma apotracheal in short, wavy, narrow bands and diffuse-in-aggregates; mostly uni- or only locally biseriate rays, strongly heterocellular (except Hippomane, Hura and Pachystroma). Cell contents, either silica or crystals, or both together, are nearly always present and often useful in distinguishing between genera. Radiallaticifers were noticed in most genera, though they are scarce and difficult to trace. The laticifers are generally not surrounded by special cells, except in some genera of the subtribe Euphorbiinae where radiallaticifers are comparatively frequent and conspicuous. Three ofthe five tribes show a great deal of conformity in their anatomy. Stomatocalyceae, however, stand apart from the rest by the combination of the scarcity of vessels, and mostly biseriate, vertically fused and very tall rays. Within Euphorbieae the subtribe Euphorbiinae shows a greater vari­ ation than average, notably in vessel pitting, the frequent presence of two­ celled parenchyma strands, and in size and frequency of the laticifers.

Comparative Cytogenetics 8(3): 169–183. doi: 10.3897/CompCytogen.v8i3.7279 Abstract A comparative cytogenetic analysis was carried out in five species of a monophyletic clade of neotropical Cichlasomatine cichlids, namely Cleithracara maronii Steindachner, 1881, Ivanacara adoketa (Kullander & Prada-Pedreros, 1993), Nannacara anomala Regan, 1905, N. aureocephalus Allgayer, 1983 and N. tae- nia Regan, 1912. Karyotypes and other chromosomal characteristics were revealed by CDD banding and mapped onto the phylogenetic hypothesis based on molecular analyses of four genes, namely cyt b, 16S rRNA, S7 and RAG1. The diploid numbers of chromosomes ranged from 44 to 50, karyotypes were com- posed predominantly of monoarmed chromosomes and one to three pairs of CMA3 signal were observed.

More importantly, fish are one of the most important sources of protein for the human kind. Efforts at all levels have been made to increase fish production and, undoubtedly, the biology of fish, especially the biology of unknown species, has much to contribute.

  • The Tribe Hippomaneae (Euphorbiaceae) in Brazil a Tribo Hippomaneae (Euphorbiaceae) No Brasil
    Rodriguésia 63(1): 209-225. 2012 http://rodriguesia.jbrj.gov.br The tribe Hippomaneae (Euphorbiaceae) in Brazil A tribo Hippomaneae (Euphorbiaceae) no Brasil Hans-Joachim Esser1 Abstract The tribe Hippomaneae (Euphorbiaceae) in Brazil. The tribe Hippomaneae is discussed with respect to its taxonomic history, its placement within the Euphorbiaceae, its diagnostic characters (particularly the floral buds), current data on phylogeny and subdivision, and its general pattern of diversity. The tribe is represented in Brazil with 13 genera and ca. 120 species. A key to the Brazilian genera is provided. All Brazilian genera are discussed, citing relevant characters, recent taxonomic literature, and the current state of knowledge, sometimes pointing to unresolved problems. For five of the genera, published revisions exist; six genera have unpublished but completed revisions or are currently under revision. Actinostemon and Gymnanthes are currently the most difficult genera, mostly based on the absence of available up-to-date taxonomic references. For Mabea and Senefeldera, two genera with completed but currently unpublished revisions, additional data are given on aspects of their taxonomy, ecology and biogeography. Key words: Brazilian Hippomaneae, Mabea, Senefeldera, flowering plant taxonomy. Resumo A tribo Hippomaneae é discutida em relação à sua história taxonômica, posição sistemática nas Euphorbiaceae, em seus principais caracteres morfológicos diagnósticos, com ênfase no botão floral, em sua atual filogenia e subdivisão, e em seus padrões gerais de diversidade. A tribo está representada no Brasil por 13 gêneros e cerca de 120 espécies. Uma chave para os gêneros brasileiros é fornecida. Todos os gêneros do Brasil são discutidos sucintamente, citando-se suas características mais relevantes, a literatura taxonômica mais recente e o seu estado atual de conhecimento, bem como algumas sugestões para problemas ainda não resolvidos sobre os táxons.

Braz J Vet Parasitol 2020; 29(4): e017920. https://doi.org/10.1590/S1984-29612020093 Abstract Most freshwater species of Cymothoidae are distributed in South America. They have mainly been recorded in the eastern and western regions of the Amazon River basin. However, in this ecosystem, the biodiversity of this group may be greater if the entire Amazon basin is considered. In this regard, the aim of the present study was to provide an updated list of isopod species of the family Cymothoidae that are found in fish in the Brazilian Amazon region and to report on new fish host occurrences and expanded geographical distributions for cymothoid isopods that parasitize fish in the southwestern Brazilian Amazon region.

This contribution includes 31 species in 8 genera, all of which are native to the region except Euphorbia prostrata and perhaps Euphorbia spathulata . At least 9 species are represented in fossil record. Euphorbia , with 18 species, is the most diverse genus in the flora of southwest Arizona. Euphorbia spathulata is the only obligate cool-season ephemeral among the spurge family in the flora area and is not known elsewhere in the core area of the Sonoran Desert, and Jatropha cinerea is not known elsewhere in the USA. This publication, encompassing the Euphorbiaceae, is our 13th contribution to the vascular plant flora in southwestern Arizona.
