  • Kinabulu Park Malaysia
    KINABULU PARK MALAYSIA Mount Kinabalu, the highest mountain between the Himalayas and New Guinea, dominates this park in the state of Sabah on the northern tip of Borneo. The Park’s altitudinal and climatic gradient from tropical lowland and hill rainforest through tropical montane forest to sub-alpine forest and scrub combined with steep slopes, varied geology and frequent climatic oscillations provide ideal conditions for speciation. The Park has a diverse biota and high endemism and is a Centre of Plant Diversity containing species from the Himalayas, China, Australia and Malaysia as well as pan- tropical flora. Most of Borneo’s mammals, birds, amphibians and invertebrates many of which are threatened and vulnerable, occur in the Park. COUNTRY Malaysia NAME Kinabalu Park NATURAL WORLD HERITAGE SITE 2000: Inscribed on the World Heritage List under Natural Criteria ix and x. STATEMENT OF OUTSTANDING UNIVERSAL VALUE [pending] The UNESCO World Heritage Committee issued the following statement at the time of inscription: Justification for Inscription Criteria (ix) and (x): The site has a diverse biota and high endemism. The altitudinal and climatic gradient from tropical forest to alpine conditions combine with precipitous topography, diverse geology and frequent climate oscillations to provide conditions ideal for the development of new species. The Park contains high biodiversity with representatives from more than half the families of all flowering plants. The majority of Borneo’s mammals, birds, amphibians and invertebrates (many threatened and vulnerable) occur in the Park. IUCN MANAGEMENT CATEGORY II National Park BIOGEOGRAPHICAL PROVINCE Borneo (4.25.13) GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION The site is in the Malaysian State of Sabah in northern Borneo 83 km west of Kota Kinabalu, the state capital, between 6o00’25’’ to 6 o29’48’’N and 116 o21’30’’ to 116 o45’ 00’’E.

  • July 2006 Newsletter
    Newsletter July 2, 2006 In this issue: . • Newsletter launch . • New catalog items . • Drosophyllum lusitanicum (Dewy Pine) update Newsletter launch Welcome to our 1st newsletter of 2006 (actually our first newsletter ever)! So many folks expressed an interest in a newsletter when they registered on our website that we are pleased to offer you our premier July issue. We welcome your comments and suggestions for improvements. New Catalog Items If it has been some time since you visited Cascade Carnivores’ website, be sure to check out our new stock items. Several New Pinguicula species and hybrids, as well as Nepenthes and Drosera have been listed recently. These include Pinguicula x “Sethos’, Pinguicula agnata ‘True Blue’, Pinguicula moranensis var. Orchidioides, Pinguicula sp. ‘Kohres’. Nepenthes additions include Nepenthes rajah (medium and large sized plants) and Nepenthes burbidgeae. Drosera binata var. multifida is our newly added sundew. Drosophyllum lusitanicum Several enquiries have come in asking when we will again be stocking Dewy Pines. We try to have an inventory of these at all times, but that requires sowing seeds on a rotation. There is a narrow window when these plants are large enough to ship, but not too large. Last batch of seeds failed to germinate, putting us behind on our schedule, and currently out of stock. Our projected date of availability is July 31st, but possibly earlier. We sell Dewy Pine plants growing in unglazed terra cotta pots, ready to pot in larger pots upon receipt. This process is known as Slack-potting, named after the British nurseryman who developed this method of cultivation, Adrian Slack.

  • Effect of Habitat Structure on Reproduction and Prey Capture of a Rare Carnivorous Plant, Pinguicula Lutea
    EFFECT OF HABITAT STRUCTURE ON REPRODUCTION AND PREY CAPTURE OF A RARE CARNIVOROUS PLANT, PINGUICULA LUTEA BY SAMANTHA PRIMER THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Plant Biology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Master’s Committee: Affiliate Professor Brenda Molano-Flores, Director of Research Emeritus Professor Janice M. Coons, Eastern Illinois University Professor James Dalling Professor Andrew Suarez ABSTRACT Habitat modification is one of the greatest threats to biodiversity worldwide and the main contributor to the decline of many carnivorous plant species. For carnivorous plants in the Southeast US, including many Pinguicula species (butterwort, Lentibulariaceae), habitat modification via altered fire regime has been implicated in their decline. Despite this decline, limited empirical research has been conducted examining the influence of habitat structure on reproduction and prey capture of carnivorous plant species in this region. The studies described in this thesis aim to address this deficit. Chapter 1 provides a general introduction to carnivorous plants, focusing primarily on Pinguicula species. In this chapter, I describe the results of a series of preliminary studies on Pinguicula lutea (yellow butterwort) to address gaps in knowledge of its basic biology (e.g., breeding system and prey identification) and to develop sampling protocols (e.g., seed set and prey sampling) for further work. Chapter 2 addresses the impacts of habitat structure (i.e., woody, grassy, and maintained) on reproduction and prey capture for Pinguicula lutea in the Florida Panhandle. Lastly, Chapter 3 provides conservation, management, and additional research recommendations for Pinguicula lutea and its congeners.

April 16th, 2018 Methods. Ecological Land Units were characterized, and the relative importance of medicinal plants was Associated Editor: evaluated. The ethnobotanical methods included participatory mapping, open interviews, semi-structured Andrea Martínez Ballesté interviews and free lists with local healers, as well as members of 17 systematically selected households. Medicinal plant species, and plants considered characteristic for an Ecological Land Unit by local special- ists, were collected during plant walks with both healers and experts on the territory. For each species, a newly proposed Knowledge, Use and Perception Index based frequency of mention in free lists, frequency of use and perceived importance was calculated. Results. Local people divided their territory primarily by physical geographic characteristics and utiliza- tion. Nine units were distinguished: village and roads, home gardens, pastures, cultivated fields (maize, beans, sugar cane and coffee), cloud forest, semi-evergreen tropical forest and evergreen tropical forest, secondary vegetation ("acahuales"), and riparian vegetation.

  • Download Tour Itinerary
    Borneo Through The Lens A Greentours Itinerary The tour structure will be different from normal Greentours trips with more emphasis on being in the field at the best time for photography i.e. getting up early for the first couple of hours of light for landscapes, staying out later for sunsets, night walks. Most tuition will be in the field with the chance to review things in the evening on a laptop for those shooting digital. Since people will be of varying abilities rather than a formal series of lectures full of technical talk we’ll be opting for a relaxed approach with Chris providing pointers ‘in the field’ as they are needed and holding sessions as and when we encounter suitable subjects. These will be aimed at improving technique in terms of composition, depth of field and exposure. However, to set the scene there will be a discussion at the start to ascertain abilities and go through various aspects at some stage during some days when appropriate. Borneo is a superb location for photography, especially macro, and there will also by night-time excursions to make the most of this. This is a ‘no rush’ tour concentrating on photographic subjects. Nonetheless always have binoculars handy as the bird and animal watching will still be good, it’s just that building a big list is not the main aim with this tour. It is important to be familiar with at least the basic operation of your kit. Endless fiddling as your subject slowly creeps away and other group members are waiting is not what you want, understand the buttons.

  • Pretty Predators
    Fresh Choices BY KATIE VINCENT PRETTY PREDATORS > Right around Thanksgiving, a cheeky meme circulated on social media, announcing the arrival of “the 2020 poinsettias.” (The post featured Audrey II, the enormous Venus flytrap with an appetite for human blood, of Little Shop of Horrors fame.) In reality, of course, carnivorous plants feast on insects and arachnids, not people — and they actually have many admirers, due to their striking looks, pest- reducing benefits and simple care and handling needs.

He later managed the nursery at Malesiana Tropicals in Borneo before building California Carnivores into the country’s largest botanical collection of carnivorous plants. Although popular with aristocrats in Victorian England, carnivorous plants were long considered “weird” stateside, Collingsworth said.
