  • Red Ring Disease of Coconut Palms Is Caused by the Red Ring Nematode (Bursaphelenchus Cocophilus), Though This Nematode May Also Be Known As the Coconut Palm Nematode
    1 Red ring disease of coconut palms is caused by the red ring nematode (Bursaphelenchus cocophilus), though this nematode may also be known as the coconut palm nematode. This disease was first described on coconut palms in 1905 in Trinidad and the association between the disease and the nematode was reported in 1919. The vector of the nematode is the South American palm weevil (Rhynchophorus palmarum), both adults and larvae. The nematode parasitizes the weevil which then transmits the nematode as it moves from tree to tree. Though the weevil may visit many different tree species, the nematode only infects members of the Palmae family. The nematode and South American palm weevil have not yet been observed in Florida. 2 Information Sources: Brammer, A.S. and Crow, W.T. 2001.

Centro de Pesquisas René Rachou, Fundação Oswaldo Cruz, Belo Horizonte, MG. [3]. Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de Brasília, Brasília, DF. ABSTRACT Introduction: Rhodnius neglectus is a triatomine that colonizes different palm species. In this study, we aimed to describe the presence of this triatomine bug in the royal palms (Roystonea oleracea) in a rural region of the State of Goiás. Methods: Palm infestation was investigated by dissecting the palms or by using live-bait traps. Results: Two palm trees were infested by R. neglectus negative for Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent for Chagas disease. In the study area, R. neglectus is frequently found in households. Conclusions: The adaptation of this species to palm trees introduced in Brazil for landscaping purposes poses another challenge for controlling the vectors of Chagas disease. Keywords: Triatomine bugs. Infestation. Palm trees. Rhodnius neglectus Lent, 1954 (Hemiptera, Triatominae) is palm trees such as gueiroba (Syagrus oleracea) and bacuri a triatomine bug that mainly inhabits palm trees in the Brazilian (Attalea phalerata) are widely found close to dwellings in this Savanna1-3, Pantanal, and Caatinga biomes4.

  • Black River Pilot Project
    Final Project report for the ‘Mitigating the Threat of Invasive Alien Species (IAS) in the Insular Caribbean project: Black River IAS Pilot Project’ Prepared and submitted by Dr Kurt McLaren (Principal investigator [PI]/Project manager) 1 1. Introduction The Black River morass is the largest freshwater wetland ecosystem in Jamaica and the second largest in the Caribbean. It is a biologically diverse and extremely complex natural wetland ecosystem that supports a large number of plants, animals and natural communities. The Morass support high levels of endemic species which are severely threatened by anthropogenic disturbance owing to their relatively small size and accessibility to human encroachment. In recognition of its value as a reservoir of endemic biodiversity, and its contribution to the livelihoods of local communities, the Black River morass will be designated as a protected area in 2015. It was also designated as a Ramsar site in 1997, signifying that it is a wetland ecosystem of international importance. The Ramsar designation should provide both the impetus for national action and the framework for international cooperation geared towards the conservation and sustainable use of this important wetland. To date however, the threats to the Black River morass remain unchecked (selective removal of trees, burning, the cultivation of marijuana and habitat encroachment), resulting in the continued loss or degradation of various habitat types. Conservation of the swamp forest is challenged by on-going human impacts (e.g., tree cutting, fires) and is compounded by the establishment of two exotic plant species that are at different stages of invasion. Although it may be possible to eradicate the more recently introduced invasive, Melaleuca quinquenervia, the other invasive, Alpinia allughas, is now firmly established.

  • Roystonea Oleracea (Jacq.) O.F.Cook
    Roystonea oleracea (Jacq.) O.F.Cook También llamada palma real del Caribe, es una impresionante palmera nativa del norte de Venezuela, Colombia, y algunas islas de las Antillas Menores. Pertenece a la familia de las Arecáceas. El nombre de Roystonea se puso como homenaje al general estadounidense del siglo XIX Roy Stone, que mandaba las tropas que invadieron Puerto Rico, la palabra oleracea tiene origen latino, y en botánica se usa para plantas que se consumen como alimento, ya que su palmito era muy apreciado en Martinica. Por otro lado su fruto es rico en aceite, por lo que en su zona de origen es utilizado como alimento del ganado porcino. Tiene un majestuoso tronco columnar que puede superar los 30 m de altura y los 60 cm de diámetro, es la mayor de este género. Las bases de las hojas tienen una vaina que abraza la parte superior del tronco formando lo que se llama un capitel, en este caso es de color verde claro y muy decorativo. La hoja es pinnada y de aspecto ordenado, ya que los foliolos se disponen en uno o dos planos a ambos lados del raquis, hecho que la diferencia de otra especie muy parecida y más conocida, la R. regia, que tiene los foliolos más estrechos y en varios planos, lo que le da a la hoja una apariencia plumosa. Son de un verde oscuro por el haz y más claro por el envés. De la parte inferior del citado capitel nacen las inflorescencias, que son ramificadas y portan tanto las flores masculinas como femeninas, por lo que es una planta monoica.
