Con el fin de cumplir el objetivo propuesto, el grupo de investigación desarrolla sus actividades bajo cinco áreas estratégicas: (1) Composición de la Diversidad Forestal, (2) Estructura y Restauración de Ecosistemas Forestales, (3) Sub-Productos del Bosque, (4) Productos Forestales Maderables y (5) Procesos Ecológicos. 1. El área Composición de la Diversidad Forestal aborda estudios encaminados aumentar el conocimiento de la diversidad de la flora de Colombia, con especial énfasis en las especies de importancia forestal, con el fin de proveer información básica para la formulación de planes de ordenamiento forestal, monitoreo y restauración de ecosistemas, entre otros. 2. El área de Estructura y Restauración de Ecosistemas Forestales pretende definir el arreglo espacial y los patrones de los componentes de la vegetación de ecosistemas forestales, tal forma que sirva como base para proponer, diseñar y evaluar modelos y ensayos de restauración ecológica a escala local y regional (paisaje) con el fin de garantizar la oferta de bienes y servicios ambientales necesarios para las comunidades que habitan y/o dependen de dichos ecosistemas. 3. A través de las investigaciones realizadas por el área sobre Productos Forestales No Maderables se espera aumentar el conocimiento sobre los productos de nuestro país, con el fin de proveer bases para un apropiado desarrollo industrial y comercial sostenible de estos recursos. 4. El área de investigación Productos Forestales Maderables tiene como propósito generar información y conocimiento básicos sobre las maderas, su anatomía, propiedades y ecología, con el fin de caracterizar las potencialidades de uso y manejo de actuales y nuevas especies forestales.

  • Molecular Support for a Basal Grade of Morphologically
    TAXON 60 (4) • August 2011: 941–952 Razafimandimbison & al. • A basal grade in the Vanguerieae alliance MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS AND BIOGEOGRAPHY Molecular support for a basal grade of morphologically distinct, monotypic genera in the species-rich Vanguerieae alliance (Rubiaceae, Ixoroideae): Its systematic and conservation implications Sylvain G. Razafimandimbison,1 Kent Kainulainen,1,2 Khoon M. Wong, 3 Katy Beaver4 & Birgitta Bremer1 1 Bergius Foundation, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and Botany Department, Stockholm University, 10691 Stockholm, Sweden 2 Department of Botany, Stockholm University, 10691, Stockholm, Sweden 3 Singapore Botanic Gardens, 1 Cluny Road, Singapore 259569 4 Plant Conservation Action Group, P.O. Box 392, Victoria, Mahé, Seychelles Author for correspondence: Sylvain G. Razafimandimbison, [email protected] Abstract Many monotypic genera with unique apomorphic characters have been difficult to place in the morphology-based classifications of the coffee family (Rubiaceae). We rigorously assessed the subfamilial phylogenetic position and generic status of three enigmatic genera, the Seychellois Glionnetia, the Southeast Asian Jackiopsis, and the Chinese Trailliaedoxa within Rubiaceae, using sequence data of four plastid markers (ndhF, rbcL, rps16, trnT­F). The present study provides molecular phylogenetic support for positions of these genera in the subfamily Ixoroideae, and reveals the presence of a basal grade of morphologically distinct, monotypic genera (Crossopteryx, Jackiopsis, Scyphiphora, Trailliaedoxa, and Glionnetia, respectively) in the species-rich Vanguerieae alliance. These five genera may represent sole representatives of their respective lineages and therefore may carry unique genetic information. Their conservation status was assessed, applying the criteria set in IUCN Red List Categories. We consider Glionnetia and Jackiopsis Endangered. Scyphiphora is recognized as Near Threatened despite its extensive range and Crossopteryx as Least Concern.

In this chapter, we attempt to describe the major types of vegetation cover in this vast region as they occurred in pre- Columbian times and outline the conditions that support them. Examining the large-scale phytogeographic regions characterized by each major cover type (see Fig. I), we provide basic information on geology, geological history, topography, and climate; describe variants of physiognomy (vegetation structure) and geography; discuss transitions; and examine some floristic patterns and affinities within and among these regions.

    TAXON 58 (3) • August 2009: 757–768 Kainulainen & al. • Phylogenetic analysis of Alberteae Molecular phylogenetic analysis of the tribe Alberteae (Rubiaceae), with description of a new genus, Razafimandimbisonia Kent Kainulainen1,2, Arnaud Mouly1,2, Anbar Khodabandeh1,2 & Birgitta Bremer1,2 1 Bergius Foundation, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, 104 05, Stockholm, Sweden 2 Department of Botany, Stockholm University, 106 91, Stockholm, Sweden. [email protected] (author for correspondence) The tribe Alberteae, presently classified in the subfamily Ixoroideae (Rubiaceae), has historically been an artificial grouping of genera. In the present study, phylogenetic analyses of the chloroplast DNA markers rbcL, ndhF, trnS-G, trnT-F and trnH-psbA as well as the ITS region of the nuclear ribosomal DNA, are done to as- sess the delimitation of Alberteae. The resulting phylogenetic hypothesis is highly resolved, with most clades strongly supported. The genus Alberta is found to be paraphyletic as presently circumscribed. As a consequence, we propose the new genus Razafimandimbisonia Kainul. & B. Bremer to accommodate the Malagasy species. The newly delimited Alberta is distinguished by having two calycophylls that expand after anthesis as well as awl-shaped stigma lobes. Razafimandimbisonia is distinguished from the remaining Alberteae by having dehiscent fruits and anthers without basal appendages. We demonstrate that the genera Airosperma, Boholia and Crossopteryx are not associated with Alberteae, as has previously been suggested. Alberteae

In Colombia, information on the use of wild fruits appears scattered in the ethnobotanical literature and herbaria collections, limiting the design of conservation and use strategies. This review aims to synthesize information about the wild fruit species used in Colombia. We reviewed herbarium collections and literature references. We recorded 703 species in 76 families, among which Fabaceae (66 species), Arecaceae (58), and Passifloraceae (44) were the most diverse. The genera with more species were Inga (42), Passiflora (42), and Pouteria (21). Most species are widely distributed in tropical America, and only 45 (6.4 %) are endemic to Colombia. The regions with the largest number of species were the Amazon (388), Andes (144), and Pacific (111). Most of the recorded species, 613 (87.2 %), are exclusively wild, whereas 90 (12.8 %) are wild or cultivated.

  • A SURVEY of the SYSTEMATIC WOOD ANATOMY of the RUBIACEAE by Steven Jansen1, Elmar Robbrecht2, Hans Beeckman3 & Erik Smets1
    IAWA Journal, Vol. 23 (1), 2002: 1–67 A SURVEY OF THE SYSTEMATIC WOOD ANATOMY OF THE RUBIACEAE by Steven Jansen1, Elmar Robbrecht2, Hans Beeckman3 & Erik Smets1 SUMMARY Recent insight in the phylogeny of the Rubiaceae, mainly based on macromolecular data, agrees better with wood anatomical diversity patterns than previous subdivisions of the family. The two main types of secondary xylem that occur in Rubiaceae show general consistency in their distribution within clades. Wood anatomical characters, espe- cially the fibre type and axial parenchyma distribution, have indeed good taxonomic value in the family. Nevertheless, the application of wood anatomical data in Rubiaceae is more useful in confirming or negating already proposed relationships rather than postulating new affinities for problematic taxa. The wood characterised by fibre-tracheids (type I) is most common, while type II with septate libriform fibres is restricted to some tribes in all three subfamilies. Mineral inclusions in wood also provide valuable information with respect to systematic re- lationships. Key words: Rubiaceae, systematic wood anatomy, classification, phylo- geny, mineral inclusions INTRODUCTION The systematic wood anatomy of the Rubiaceae has recently been investigated by us and has already resulted in contributions on several subgroups of the family (Jansen et al. 1996, 1997a, b, 1999, 2001; Lens et al. 2000). The present contribution aims to extend the wood anatomical observations to the entire family, surveying the second- ary xylem of all woody tribes on the basis of literature data and original observations. Although Koek-Noorman contributed a series of wood anatomical studies to the Rubiaceae in the 1970ʼs, there are two principal reasons to present a new and com- prehensive overview on the wood anatomical variation.

  • Impacts of the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Dam Construction On
    Brazilian Journal of Botany 35(2):159-167, 2012 Impacts of the Belo Monte hydroelectric dam construction on pioneer vegetation formations along the Xingu River, Pará State, Brazil DENISE DE ANDRADE CUNHA1,2 and LEANDRO VALLE FERREIRA1 (received: October 21, 2011; accepted: April 17, 2012) ABSTRACT – (Impacts of the Belo Monte hydroelectric dam construction on pioneer vegetation formations along the Xingu River, Pará State, Brazil). There is an important pioneer vegetation formation along the Xingu River in the area where the Belo Monte hydroelectric dam is being constructed that is highly adapted to a seasonally fluctuating water levels. The aim of this study was to examine the habitat and flora of the pioneer formations in the Belo Monte area. The area was divided in three sections for study purposes (Reservoir, Low Flow, and Control) that were expected to experience different degrees of impact from the dam project. The calculations of habitat losses were based on satellite imagery classifications, and a total of 111 plots were established in the three areas for vegetation sampling. Habitat losses of the pioneer formations will total 89.7% when the project is fully functional. Forty-five of the 72 recorded species are restricted to single areas. Species richness and diversity were significantly lower in the control area. The completion of the Belo Monte reservoir will result in habitat reductions and will consequently reduce the richness and diversity of pioneer formations. Studies suggest monitoring the populations located in the reduced flow area to determine possible impacts resulting from changes in the regional hydrological cycle caused by the Xingu River dam.
