Darwiniana, nueva serie 9(1): 39-54. Malpighiaceae constitutes a family of 77 genera and ca. 1300 species, distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of both hemispheres. They are mainly diversified in the American continent and distributed in a wide range of habitats and altitudinal gradients. For this reason, this family can be a model plant group to ecological and biogeographical analyses, as well as evolutive studies. In this context, an analysis of distribution, richness, endemism and phylogenetic diversity of Malpighiaceae in natural regions and their altitudinal gradients was undertaken. Malpighiaceae are represented in Colombia by 34 genera and 246 species (19.1% of endemism). Thus, Colombia and Brazil (44 genera, 584 species, 61% of endemism) are the two richest countries on species of this family. The highest species richness and endemism in Colombia is found in the lowlands (0-500 m a.s.l.: 212 species, 28 endemics); only ten species are distributed on highlands (2500-3200 m a.s.l.). Of the Malpighiaceae species in Colombia, Heteropterys leona and Stigmaphyllon bannisterioides have a disjunct amphi-Atlantic distribution, and six other species show intra-American disjunctions.

  • Recommendation of Native Species for the Reforestation of Degraded Land Using Live Staking in Antioquia and Caldas’ Departments (Colombia)
    UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI PADOVA Department of Land, Environment Agriculture and Forestry Second Cycle Degree (MSc) in Forest Science Recommendation of native species for the reforestation of degraded land using live staking in Antioquia and Caldas’ Departments (Colombia) Supervisor Prof. Lorenzo Marini Co-supervisor Prof. Jaime Polanía Vorenberg Submitted by Alicia Pardo Moy Student N. 1218558 2019/2020 Summary Although Colombia is one of the countries with the greatest biodiversity in the world, it has many degraded areas due to agricultural and mining practices that have been carried out in recent decades. The high Andean forests are especially vulnerable to this type of soil erosion. The corporate purpose of ‘Reforestadora El Guásimo S.A.S.’ is to use wood from its plantations, but it also follows the parameters of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). For this reason, it carries out reforestation activities and programs and, very particularly, it is interested in carrying out ecological restoration processes in some critical sites. The study area is located between 2000 and 2750 masl and is considered a low Andean humid forest (bmh-MB). The average annual precipitation rate is 2057 mm and the average temperature is around 11 ºC. The soil has a sandy loam texture with low pH, which limits the amount of nutrients it can absorb. FAO (2014) suggests that around 10 genera are enough for a proper restoration. After a bibliographic revision, the genera chosen were Alchornea, Billia, Ficus, Inga, Meriania, Miconia, Ocotea, Protium, Prunus, Psidium, Symplocos, Tibouchina, and Weinmannia. Two inventories from 2013 and 2019, helped to determine different biodiversity indexes to check the survival of different species and to suggest the adequate characteristics of the individuals for a successful vegetative stakes reforestation.

(2013). Viera y Clavijo, Arnoldo Santos and the ages of enligh- tenment. VIERAEA 41: 5-20. ABSTRACT: Botanical studies conducted by naturalists from the Canary Is- lands have had two major peaks. The first one occurred in the 18th century as part of the enlightenment movement. With his seminal publication, Diction- ary of the Natural History of the Canary Islands , the priest José de Viera y Clavijo is the most important representative of this period. Alonso de Nava- Grimón and Benitez de Lugo, founder of Botanic Garden of Orotava in 1788, is also an extremely important figure from that time. The second golden age for botanical studies performed by Canarian naturalists started in 1966 when the Biology Section of the Biology Faculty (La Laguna University) was es- tablished. This academic unit resulted in the first generation of professional graduates devoted to study the Macaronesian flora. The immediate results were: (1) the founding of the magazine Vieraea , (2) the consolidation of the incipient Natural Science Museum of Tenerife, and (3) the enrollment of botanists from the archipelago in the Botanic Garden Botanical Viera y Clav- ijo, the Canarian Institute of Agrarian Research (including the Botanic Gar- den of La Orotava), and the center that the National Research Council of Spain has in Tenerife.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships in the Order Cucurbitales and a New Classification of the Gourd Family (Cucurbitaceae)
    Schaefer & Renner • Phylogenetic relationships in Cucurbitales TAXON 60 (1) • February 2011: 122–138 TAXONOMY Phylogenetic relationships in the order Cucurbitales and a new classification of the gourd family (Cucurbitaceae) Hanno Schaefer1 & Susanne S. Renner2 1 Harvard University, Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, 22 Divinity Avenue, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, U.S.A. 2 University of Munich (LMU), Systematic Botany and Mycology, Menzinger Str. 67, 80638 Munich, Germany Author for correspondence: Hanno Schaefer, [email protected] Abstract We analysed phylogenetic relationships in the order Cucurbitales using 14 DNA regions from the three plant genomes: the mitochondrial nad1 b/c intron and matR gene, the nuclear ribosomal 18S, ITS1-5.8S-ITS2, and 28S genes, and the plastid rbcL, matK, ndhF, atpB, trnL, trnL-trnF, rpl20-rps12, trnS-trnG and trnH-psbA genes, spacers, and introns. The dataset includes 664 ingroup species, representating all but two genera and over 25% of the ca. 2600 species in the order. Maximum likelihood analyses yielded mostly congruent topologies for the datasets from the three genomes. Relationships among the eight families of Cucurbitales were: (Apodanthaceae, Anisophylleaceae, (Cucurbitaceae, ((Coriariaceae, Corynocarpaceae), (Tetramelaceae, (Datiscaceae, Begoniaceae))))). Based on these molecular data and morphological data from the literature, we recircumscribe tribes and genera within Cucurbitaceae and present a more natural classification for this family. Our new system comprises 95 genera in 15 tribes, five of them new: Actinostemmateae, Indofevilleeae, Thladiantheae, Momordiceae, and Siraitieae. Formal naming requires 44 new combinations and two new names in Cucurbitaceae. Keywords Cucurbitoideae; Fevilleoideae; nomenclature; nuclear ribosomal ITS; systematics; tribal classification Supplementary Material Figures S1–S5 are available in the free Electronic Supplement to the online version of this article (http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/iapt/tax).

Amorim (UEFS) São Paulo 2020 Resumo Mascagnia é um dos gêneros de Malpighiaceae que sempre apresentou divergências em sua circunscrição por causa da similaridade entre outros gêneros quando na ausência de material fértil. Especialistas clássicos em Malpighiaceae sempre associaram Mascagnia aos gêneros Hiraea, Jubelina, Mezia e Tetrapterys e já em meados dos anos 1980, algumas espécies de Mascagnia foram transferidas para o gênero Callaeum. Por meio das constatações não monofiléticas realizadas nas análises filogenéticas feitas a partir de 1991, Mascagnia continuou a ser investigado sob o ponto de vista taxonômico e W.R. Anderson em 2006 segregou mais espécies de Mascagnia em sete novos gêneros: Adelphia W. R. Anderson, Aenigmatanthera W. R. Anderson, Alicia W. R. Anderson, Amorimia W. R. Anderson, Carolus W. R. Anderson, Christianella W. R. Anderson e Niedenzuella W. R. Anderson, restabelecendo ainda o gênero Malpighiodes Nied.. A partir disto realizamos o estudo da anatomia foliar em representantes de Mascagnia e seus gêneros relacionados, buscando possíveis sinapomorfias morfoanatômicas foliares para o grupo.

Plant facilitative interactions enhance co- occurrence between distant relatives, partly due to limited overlap in resource requirements. We propose a different mechanism for the coexistence of distant relatives based on positive interactions of nutrient sharing. Nutrients move between plants following source–sink gradients driven by plant traits that allow these gradients to establish. Specifically, nitrogen (N) concentration gradients can arise from varia- tion in leaf N content across plants species. As many ecologically relevant traits, we hypothe- size that leaf N content is phylogenetically conserved and can result in N gradients promoting N transfer among distant relatives. In a Mexican desert community governed by facilitation, we labelled nurse plants (Mimosa luisana) with 15N and measured its transfer to 14 other spe- cies in the community, spanning the range of phylogenetic distances to the nurse plant.
