Offsets of her plant were available to members, so when they flower it will be interesting to see whether they colour up differently. One of the members asked about her T. punctulata that has started an inflorescence which stopped developing and shown no movement for 4-5 months.

    VASCULAR EPIPHYTES AS BIOINDICATORS OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND THEIR OWN VULNERABILITY Von der Fakultät für Mathematik und Naturwissenschaften der Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg zur Erlangung des Grades und Titels eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften (Dr. rer. nat.) angenommene Dissertation von Frau Siouxsie Maddy Correa Moya Geboren am 11 Dezember 1985 in Caracas-Venezuela Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Gerhard Zotz Zweitgutachter: Prof. Dr. Michael Kleyer Tag der Disputation: 08.09.2017 “When you learn through the crisis - if you are able! - ... You really learn from your heart… and, this knowledge remains deeply rooted in you…” Siouxsie Correa “In the middle of difficulties lies the opportunity” Albert Einstein Claude Levi-Strauss said that the scientist is not a person who gives the right answer; he is one who asks the right questions. It may be partially true; however, I would rather complete this sentence saying: … that the scientist may have the, apparently, right answer today, but it may not be valid tomorrow. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First at all, I would like to thank the existence of music, which companied me along all stages of my PhD project and offered me a refugee in difficult moments, inspiration and relaxation during the work journey. Classical artists such as: Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Bach, and some of Tchaikovsky´s Waltz were sine qua non companies in the high concentration stages. Grandiose progressive, symphonic and psychedelic rock bands as well as jazz and blues bands were also part of my delight. Among some of these bands I could thanks for their great music: King Crimson, Eloy, Hawkwind, Yes, Gentle Giant, Marmalade, Marillion, Janis Joplin (my favourite ever), John Coltrane, The Trio (Paco de Lucía, Al Di Meola and John Mclaughlin).

A la fecha, se desconoce el rol que tienen estas comunidades en la captación de carbono y el potencial rol que tienen al almacenar agua en la biomasa vegetal del desierto. El presente estudio buscó cuantificar la cantidad de carbono y agua que almacena Tillandsia latifolia Meyen en un tillandsial de la costa de Lima (Piedra Campana, Cañete- Lima). Para ello, se evaluaron todas las laderas y quebradas de un sector del tillandsial, se pesó la biomasa aérea y se recolectaron muestras de suelo (primeros 10 cm); se midió el porcentaje de agua y carbono almacenado en la biomasa, y el carbono en las muestras de suelo. Todos los datos obtenidos fueron procesados utilizando la técnica de interpolación kriging. El carbono total ascendió a 94.1 toneladas (t) (3.63 t/ha), hallándose más carbono almacenado en la parte del suelo (76.50 t) que en la parte aérea (17.60 t).

    Selbyana 18(1): 85-88 CHROMOSOME NUMBERS IN BROMELIACEAE GREGORY K. BROWN! AND CARLOS A. PALACf Department of Botany, University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyoming 82071 HARRY E. LUTHER Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, 811 South Palm Avenue, Sarasota, Florida 34236 ABSTRACT. Chromosome numbers are reported for 44 taxa from Bromeliaceae, including first reports for three genera (Hohenbergia, Lymania, Quesnelia), and first reports for 27 addition~ s1?ecie~. The ~eporte~ numbers are all diploid (2n = 50), except for Ananas ananassoides (2n = 75), a tnplOld, Tillandsza butZll (2n = 100), a tetraploid, and Fosterella villosula (2n = 150), a hexaploid. These chromosome numb.ers support the proposed base chromosome number of x = 25. for extant Bromeliac~ae: Hypotheses concermng the evolution of chromosome base number in the BromelIaceae are evaluated In lIght of recent molecular evidence suggesting that the Rapateaceae and Bromeliaceae may be sister taxa. INTRODUCTION meliaceae, still an unverified n = 16 for Til­ landsia usneoides (Billings 1904), reinforced the Chromosome numbers have been published bias for x = 8. McWilliams (1974), for example, for approximately 220 of the nearly 3,000 bro­ suggested that an ancestor with x = 8 produced meliad species, and Brown and Gilmartin (1986, the x = 25 bromeliad lineage through successive 1989a) have summarized the systematic signifi­ rounds of polyploidy, followed by ascending an­ cance of these numbers. However, no chromo­ euploidy. In contrast, Brown and Gilmartin some numbers are available for nearly half of (1989a) proposed the origin of a dibasic x = 17 the genera (Le., Abromeitiella, Androlepis, Ay­ lineage, via hybridization of x = 8 and x = 9 ensua, Brewcaria, Brocchinia, Connellia, Cot­ parental types, followed by a second hybridiza­ tendorfia, Deinacanthon, Disteganthus, Encho­ tion with an x = 8 lineage, to produce x = 25.
