    Meeting of the Network for Neotropical Biogeography 4th Program and Abstracts PANAMA - January 14-17, 2015 Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute Program 4th Meeting of the Network for Neotropical Biogeography NNB4 Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute 14-17 January, 2015 This meeting is being hosted by the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI), and financially supported by the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Indicasat and the Florida Museum of Natural History/University of Florida. Organizers Liliana Londoño and Carlos Jaramillo, STRI PANAMA CHANGED THE WORLD! The Isthmus of Panama emerged from the sea millions of years ago, joining two continents and producing one of the largest vicariance events in Earth’s history: the Great American Biotic Interchange (GABI). At that time, marine populations were separated while terrestrial plants and animals underwent massive migrations between North and South America, dramatically changing the Earth. The rise of the isthmus also impacted atmospheric and oceanic circulation, including substantial changes in Atlantic and Caribbean salinity. There is no better place to have a symposium on Neotropical Biogeography! 1 NETWORK FOR NEOTROPICAL BIOGEOGRAPHY Tropical America – the Neotropics – is the most species-rich region on Earth. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the historical assembly and evolution of this extreme biodiversity constitutes a major challenge in biology, and will require hitherto unrealized inter- disciplinary scientific collaboration. The primary goals of this network are to: • Promote scientific interaction • Stimulate the exchange of material, students and researchers • Increase inter-disciplinarity between different fields • Discuss and plan joint projects and grant applications • Stimulate collaborative field work and reciprocal help with field collection of research material • Inform on upcoming events, recent papers and other relevant material The NNB was created in 2011 and has been increasing every year, with previous meetings in Germany, USA and Colombia.

Greg Ksenzakovic holding sections of the tuberous root of Ravenea xerophila . Tuberous, water-storing roots in Ravenea xerophila are described and illustrated. They are the first such roots ever recorded for a palm. Tuberous roots are probably an adaptation to the xeric habitat in which this palm grows in southern Madagascar. PALMS 58(4): 193 –196 193 PALM S Zona & Dransfield: Ravenea xerophila Vol. 58(4) 2014 It is a sobering thought that when we look at a palm, we are seeing only a fraction of it. The above-ground parts are plainly obvious, but the underground parts, namely the roots, are subterranean “dark matter” – we know they must be there, but we rarely see them. Roots comprise ca. 30–50% of a palm’s total biomass (Goodman et al. 2013), and yet they remain poorly known. On the few occasions botanists have critically examined palm roots, they have found variation in anatomy that has taxo- nomic value at the generic (Seubert 1996a & b, 1997, 1998a & b) and species (Martel 2012) levels, diversity in structure and function (Tomlinson 1990, Jourdan & Rey 1997) and adaptations to anaerobic environments (De Granville 1974). Botanists have even discovered that, at the microscopic level, the cellulose orientation in the cell walls of palm 2. Cross-sections of the tuberous root (right) and the roots is unique, unlike that of any other non-thickened root (left) to which it was attached.
