Flower Food Tissues As Reward for Pollinating Birds
ISSN 0373-580 X Bol. Soc. Argent. Bot. 37 (1-2): 71 - 77. 2002 FLOWER FOOD TISSUES AS REWARD FOR POLLINATING BIRDS G. G. ROITMAN' 3, A. N. SÉRSIC23, A. A. COCUCCI2 and N. H. MONTALDO1 Summary: Nectar is the reward regularly offered by flowers to their pollinating birds. Studies on pollination by birds have focused on nectar as a reward while alternative reward systems have been poorly studied. Previous reviews have shown the presence of food tissues that serve as nutritive rewards to different classes of pollinators. However, in a recent revision of plant-bird interactions, the existence of a solid reward for birds has been disregarded. In South America at least three cases of this very particular bird-flower Interaction have been recently studied. In this paper we describe the syndrome features (flower morphology, reward properties, position of the pollination unit, flower color display and common visitors), that deviate from the typical ornithophilous syndrome, and its possible origin is discussed. Key words: Flower, food reward, pollination, birds, syndrome, review. Resumen: Tejidos alimenticios florales como recompensa para las aves polinizadoras. El néctar es la recompensa típica que las flores ofrecen a las aves polinizadoras. Los estudios sobre ornitofilia se han concentrado en el néctar como recompensa, mientras que otras retribuciones alternativas fueron esca¬ samente analizadas. Revisiones previas han mostrado que la producción de tejidos alimenticios puede servir como recompensa para diferentes polinizadores, y al menos tres casos de esta particular interacción se estudiaron últimamente en América del Sur. Sin embargo, una revisión reciente sobre interacciones planta-ave descarta la presencia de recompensas sólidas. -
Queensland Brain Institute 2017 Annual Report Director’S Message
Queensland Brain Institute 2017 Annual Report Director’s message 2017 was another year of strong achievement in our research output, as reflected in the number and quality of our peer-reviewed publications in leading scientific journals, and our grant success in both the NHMRC Project Grant and the ARC Discovery Project schemes. It was particularly pleasing that many of our younger recruits obtained grant funding. QBI’s clinical links were strengthened through a joint appointment with Mater Neuroscience; Professor Peter Nestor, a clinical neurologist from the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases, started in October. Refurbishment of the Ritchie building occurred during much of the year, and a number of Faculty have moved across into the new space; the breakthrough from the Clem Jones Centre for Ageing Dementia Research (CJCADR) into the Ritchie building on Level 3 is also complete, and seamlessly links the two buildings. This space forms a visible clinical interface for QBI, and will include a Memory Clinic for testing patients with neurodegenerative diseases. In August, QBI hosted the first official visit of the newly appointed International Research Review Board. Half of the Faculty were reviewed, and the research focus, current and future, of the Institute was reviewed. The remaining half are also scheduled for review in December 2018. The initial Report was very supportive, and noted that the breadth of neuroscience research was impressive, and that QBI is a world-leading Institute that enjoys high international visibility. Recommendations outlined in the Report will be examined in detail over the coming year. Professor Pankaj Sah Director, Queensland Brain Institute Queensland Brain Institute Annual Report 2017 1 Research highlights There were several major research discoveries in 2017, as well as the progression of a number of research outcomes towards commercialisation. -
Plant Biometrics of Malay, Rose and Water Apple Guilherme Nacata1 & Renata Aparecida De Andrade2
ISSN 0100-2945 DOI: http://dx.doi.org /10.1590/0100-29452018131 Botanic and Physiology Plant biometrics of malay, rose and water apple Guilherme Nacata1 & Renata Aparecida de Andrade2 Abstract - Due to the lack of studies comparing Syzygium malaccensis(L) Meer & Perry, Syzygium aqueum Burm.f. and Syzygium jambos (L) Alston Syzygium in relation to the botanical genus Sygygium regarding the physical characteristics, the present research was conducted, aiming at biometrically characterizing each of the three species, as well as comparing them. The fruits were collected from the São Paulo State University (Unesp), School of Agricultural and Veterinarian Sciences, Jaboticabal. Syzygium plants were used for the evaluation of: fruit and seed masses (g); width and length of leaves (cm) and of seeds (cm); percentage of fruit pulp; length of leaf petiole (cm); and leaf area (cm2). Fifty fruits, leaves and seeds of each species were used, with 5 replicates of 10 samples each and the data were submitted to descriptive statistical analysis and organized into frequency tables. For comparative purposes among the species, a blocks randomized design was adopted, being analyzed by the Tukey Test at 5% of probability. The malay and water apple present fruits with high yield of pulp. The fruit of the malay apple are light, with narrow diameter, medium length, broad seeds, narrow and small leaves, with small leaf area. The rose apple fruit present medium mass, width and length, with broad seeds, narrow leaves, medium length and small leaf area. The water apple fruit are light, broad, long, without seeds, with broad leaves, long and having medium leaf area. -

Considering this, the present study has addressed the use of native arboreal species as sources of food for rural populations in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The aim was to reveal species composition of edible plants, as well as to evaluate the practices used to manage and conserve them. Ethnobotanical indices show the importance of many native trees as local sources of fruits while highlighting the preponderance of the Myrtaceae family. -

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This review of the environmental impacts of Myrtle Rust in Australia is accompanied by an adjunct document, Myrtle Rust in Australia – a draft Action Plan. The Action Plan was developed in 2018 in consultation with experts, stakeholders and the public. The intent of the draft Action Plan is to provide a guiding framework for a specifically environmental dimension to Australia’s response to Myrtle Rust – that is, the conservation of native biodiversity at risk. -
