  • Species Convergence Into Life-Forms in a Hyperseasonal Cerrado in Central Brazil Silva, IA.* and Batalha, MA
    Species convergence into life-forms in a hyperseasonal cerrado in central Brazil Silva, IA.* and Batalha, MA. Laboratório de Ecologia Vegetal, Departamento de Botânica, Universidade Federal de São Carlos – UFSCar, CP 676, CEP 13565-905, São Carlos, SP, Brazil *e-mail: [email protected] Received September 21, 2006 – Accepted November 30, 2006 – Distributed May 31, 2008 (With 3 figures) Abstract Whether the functional structure of ecological communities is deterministic or historically contingent is still quite con- troversial. However, recent experimental tests did not find effects of species composition variation on trait convergence and therefore the environmental constraints should play the major role on community convergence into functional groups. Seasonal cerrados are characterized by a sharp seasonality, in which the water shortage defines the community functioning. Hyperseasonal cerrados experience additionally waterlogging in the rainy season. Here, we asked whether waterlogging modifies species convergences into life-forms in a hyperseasonal cerrado. We studied a hyperseasonal cerrado, comparing it with a nearby seasonal cerrado, never waterlogged, in Emas National Park, central Brazil. In each area, we sampled all vascular plants by placing 40 plots of 1 m2 plots in four surveys. We analyzed the species convergences into life-forms in both cerrados using the Raunkiaer’s life-form spectrum and the index of divergence from species to life-form diversity (IDD). The overall life-form spectra and IDDs were not different, indicating that waterlogging did not affect the composition of functional groups in the hyperseasonal cerrado. However, there was a seasonal variation in IDD values only in the hyperseasonal cerrado. As long as we did not find a seasonal variation in life-form diversity, the seasonal variation of convergence into life-forms in the hyperseasonal cerrado was a conse- quence of the seasonal variation of species diversity.

A low-maintenance plant has low fertilizer County for a list of recommended landscape plants requirements and few pest and disease problems. In suitable for south Florida. The resulting list includes addition, low-maintenance plants suitable for south over 350 low-maintenance plants. The following Florida must also be adapted to--or at least information is included for each species: common tolerate-our poor, alkaline, sand- or limestone-based name, scientific name, maximum size, growth rate soils.

An additional criterion for the plants on this list was that they are not listed as being invasive by the Criteria Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council (FLEPPC, 2001), or restricted by any federal, state, or local laws This section will describe the criteria by which (Burks, 2000). Miami-Dade County does have plants were selected. It is important to note, first, that restrictions for planting certain species within 500 even the most drought-tolerant plants require feet of native habitats they are known to invade watering during the establishment period. Although (Miami-Dade County, 2001); caution statements are this period varies among species and site conditions, provided for these species.

Polyandrococos was a Micronutrient Deficiencies None observed monotypic genus but was combined with Allagoptera. Insect Damage None observed Allagoptera is closely related to Attalea, Lytocaryum, and Hurricane Resistance Excellent Syagrus. Allagoptera caudescens is a monoecious palm with a solitary stem usually 12 to 24 feet tall in habitat, but the stem can also be short or subterranean. The fronds are pinnate with an extremely short petiole. These palms are native to lowland tropical rainforest along the coast of Brazil at elevation of up to 1,000 feet. They are reported to persist in cleared areas which indicate they will tolerate full sun exposure. I have three specimens planted in the shade in an area which is prone to flooding during heavy rain. Dale Holton and Ruth Sallenbach also have their palms planted in the shade.

Ephigenio^ Sales 2239, CEP 69011-970, Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil Received 21 September 2015; revised 20 May 2016; accepted for publication 28 June 2016 We present a dated phylogenetic tree for the Neotropical genus Attalea (Arecaceae). We used six orthologues from the nuclear WRKY gene family across 98 accessions to address relationships among species and biogeographical hypotheses. We found that the formerly recognized groups within Attalea are not monophyletic and therefore there is no support for multiple genera as previously thought. Species of Attalea-like palms from the Atlantic forest form a well-supported clade sister to the Attalea species from Amazonia, the Andean valleys and Mesoamerica. Dates for the main divergence events suggest a relationship with the development of the dry forests that now span eastern South America and the now-lost Pebas Lake region in the western Amazon.

  • Field Guide to the Palms of Rio De Janeiro State, Brazil
    PALM S Henderson: Palms of Rio de Janeiro Vol. 53(4) 2009 Field Guide to the Palms ANDREW HENDERSON New York Botanical Garden Bronx, New York 10458 of Rio de USA Janeiro State, Brazil This Guide is designed specifically for the participants in the IPS Rio Biennial, but will allow anyone to identify naturally occurring palms within Rio de Janeiro State and in adjacent areas of São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Espírito Santo. Note that cultivated palms (of which there are 4b. Leaflets green, rarely silvery-gray on the many in Rio) are not included. I have lower surfaces; fruits not spiny . Bactris indicated, for each species, sites in Rio de 5a. Leaf sheaths forming a distinct crownshaft; Janeiro State where they may be found, mostly inflorescences borne below the crown-shaft . National Parks or other protected areas. So, . Euterpe enjoy the Biennial, and don’t forget to bring this guide! 5b. Leaf sheaths not forming a crownshaft; inflorescences borne amongst the leaves . 6. Key to the Genera 6a. Stems slender, brown, ringed, 1–4.5 cm tall 1a. Spiny palms . 2. and 1–4 cm diameter; fruits small, black, to 1b. Non-spiny palms . 5. 1.5 cm long . Geonoma 6b. Stems short and subterranean or stout, not 2a. Climbing or scrambling palms; leaf tips ringed, 5–25 m tall, 10–35 cm diameter; fruits with hooks instead of leaflets . Desmoncus larger, brown or greenish, to 9 cm long . 7. 2b. Non-climbing palms; leaf tips without 7a. Inflorescences unbranched, with the fruits hooks . 3. densely crowded . Allagoptera 3a.
