Arayat National Park (MANP) is one of the oldest national parks and protected areas in the Philippines. However, very few published studies have been carried out despite its spec- ulated high potential of biodiversity. Therefore, this paper intends to provide a preliminary checklist of vascular plants in MANP with emphasis on their conservation status. Several floristic surveys were conducted in the South and North peaks of MANP. A total of 98 species belonging to 92 genera and 43 families were identified. Of them, Leguminosae was the largest family which contributed 10 species, followed by Euphorbiaceae and Moraceae with 7 species each. The most dominated genera were: Ficus with 3 species, and Artocarpus, Litsea, and Macaranga with 2 species each. Based on IUCN criteria and DENR records, a total of 10 species were threatened while only 8 were least concern and the rest were not evaluated.

The Philippines are one of the most important biodiveristy hotspots on earth. Due to the extraordinary rate of environmental destruction, leaving only 3% of the land with primary forest, this biodiversity is at high risk. Despite that situation information on Philippine forest vegetation is fragmentary and focused on trees. This study aimed at analysing forest remnants in the Leyte Cordillera on the Island of Leyte, and at evaluating their role as refuge to the largely destroyed lowland forest vegetation. A total of 49 plots (100 m2 each) between 55 and 520 m a.s.l. were studied. All vascular plant species except epiphytes were included. Records include 685 taxa from 289 genera and 111 families, representing nearly 8% of the known Philippine vascular plant species. More than half (52%) of the species are Philippine endemics. A number of 41 tree species, or 6% of all taxa recorded, are included in the IUCN red list, either as vulnerable, endangered, or critically endangered.

Abstract Bats are particularly the most diverse in tropical regions that play an important role in the ecosystem. To determine species diversity and endemism of bats, this study was conducted from August to December 2013 in six sampling sites in Mt. Matutum Protected Landscape. Mist nets were established at different elevations in disturbed and undisturbed habitats. Fifteen species belonging to four families were documented, representing 19% of the total Philippine bat species with 47% endemism. Only one vulnerable species Megaerops wetmorei was documented. Species diversity was higher in sampling sites which are relatively undisturbed. Fruit bats were the dominant group where the widespread Cynopterus brachyotis was the most abundant. Kruskal-Wallis test revealed significant differences between species diversity in disturbed and undisturbed sites while no significant difference in species evenness was observed. The presence of endemic and vulnerable species indicates the need to strengthen conservation initiatives in Mt. Matutum. *Corresponding Author: Olga M. Nueza [email protected] 377 | Nueza et al.

Taguiling, PhD Ifugao State University, Nayon, Lamut, Ifugao, Philippines Abstract Any biodiversity conservation effort starts from baseline information. A biodiversity study was then conducted in the province of Ifugao, Philippines to provide first hand information on the status of macrofloral biodiversity in the area. Rapid assessment using plot method was used in the inventory of macrofloral species. Ethnobotanical survey of key informants was also conducted to record knowledge of community members on the uses of plant species found in the locality. Results revealed 69 families 134 genera and 214 species of macroflora. Shannon’s diversity index for trees and shrubs showed 3.59 to 3.7 corresponding to relatively high diversity. Of the species recorded, 36 were endemic to the Philippines, 4 vulnerable based on the 2010 IUCN red list and under CITES Appendix II. Forest areas with lower elevation showed higher species diversity than those with higher elevation. Description of species importance values, dominance, similarity index and floristic checklist were provided. Ethnobotanical survey revealed 38 species used as food plants, 25 species used as medicinal plants, 26 species with socio-cultural importance, 2 species identified as source of strong fiber, 5 species with pesticidal properties, and 1 species utilized as organic fertilizer. Issues and problems related to macrofloral biodiversity and suggested solution actions were described.

    THREAT AND WEEDINESS ATTRIBUTES OF FICUS (MORACEAE) Chua Shuyi U052872J A thesis submitted to the Department of Biological Sciences National University of Singapore in partial fulfilment for the Degree of Bachelor of Science with Honours in Life Sciences 2008/2009 1 … the taxonomist should use scrolls to make lengthy and detailed tables of comparison for all species in order to work out their relations. Such tables are the only means of presenting the mass of information in a conspectus, they free the mind, thereby, from the burden of details: it creates as they unroll. Corner, E. J. H. (1963), p. 1,003 i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project has taught me that scientific research is not an individual effort but a culmination of the hard work of many. I especially want to thank Assoc. Prof. Hugh Tan for his immense patience, guidance and kindness towards me. Also, the denizens of the Plant Systematics Laboratory, especially Tan Kai-Xin, Yeo Chow Khoon, Ng Pei Xin, Ang Wee Foong, Alex Yee, Alvin Lok and Chong Kwek Yan, who have availed themselves to assist me. For statistical help, I thank Giam Xingli who taught me model selection and wrote my R code, Toh Kok Ben who wrote my extraction R code and Chong Kwek Yan who worked on my data and taught me perseverance in the face of adversity. I thank my personal “research assistants” ― Mum and Dad who helped in many forms, such as working late into the night with me, and chauffeuring me around. I thank Angelina, Jit Sy, Michelle and Seok Min for their assistance when I called for it.
