According to previous studies, the northern species, present in Europe and the Mediterranean, form a paraphyletic, basal clade, and the southern species, present in South Africa, form a robust monophyletic group. In this work a molecular phylogenetic analysis from European and from Central and South African Erica species was performed using the chloroplast regions: trnL-trnL-trnF and 5´trnK-matK , as well as the nuclear DNA marker ITS, in order i) to state the monophyly of the northern and southern species, ii) to determine the phylogenetic relationships between the species and contrasting them with previous systematic research studies and iii) to compare the results provided from nuclear data and explore possible evolutionary patterns. All species were monophyletic except for the widely spread E. arborea , and E. manipuliflora . The paraphyly of the northern species was also confirmed, but three taxa from Central East Africa were polyphyletic, suggesting different episodes of colonization of this area. -

The Distribution and Nest-Site Preference of Apis Dorsata Binghami at Maros Forest, South Sulawesi, Indonesia
Journal of Insect Biodiversity 4(23): 1‐14, 2016 http://www.insectbiodiversity.org RESEARCH ARTICLE The distribution and nest-site preference of Apis dorsata binghami at Maros Forest, South Sulawesi, Indonesia Muhammad Teguh Nagir1 Tri Atmowidi1* Sih Kahono2 1Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Bogor Agricultural University, Dramaga Campus, Bogor 16680, Indonesia. 2Zoology Division, Research Center for Biology-LIPI, Bogor 16911, Indonesia. *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: The giant honey bee, Apis dorsata binghami is subspecies of Apis dorsata. This species of bee was only found in Sulawesi and its surrounding islands. This study is aimed to study the distribution and characteristics of nest and nesting trees, nesting behavior of Apis dorsata binghami in the forests of Maros, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The distributions of nests were observed using a survey method to record the species and characteristics of nesting trees, as well as the conditions around the nest. Results showed that 102 nests (17 active nests, 85 abandoned combs) of A. d. binghami were found. We found 34 species belong to 27 genera in 17 families of plants as nesting sites of giant honey bee. The common tree species used as nesting sites were Ficus subulata (Moraceae), Adenanthera sp. (Fabaceae), Spondias pinnata (Anacardiaceae), Artocarpus sericoarpus (Moraceae), Alstonia scholaris (Apocynaceae), Knema cinerea (Myristicaceae), Litsea mappacea (Lauraceae), and Palaquium obovatum (Sapotaceae). The nests were found in 0-11 meters (11 nests), 11-20 meters (40 nests), and more than 21 meters (51 nests) from ground level. The nests of giant honey bee were found in sturdy and woody branches, hard to peel, the slope of the branches was <60°, and nests were protected by liane plants, foliage, or both them. -
Florida Blueberry Pollination Factsheet
Florida Blueberry PROJECT ICP Pollination Blueberries Require Pollination Blueberries need to be cross-pollinated with another cultivar of the same species (rabbiteye or southern highbush blueberry) in order to produce fruit. Cross-pollination allows for better fruit set, berry size, and earlier ripening. Most growers bring in managed European honey bee hives or commercial bumble bees for pollination. Several types of wild bees are also effective and abundant pollinators of Florida blueberries. All of these different kinds of bees visit blueberry flowers to collect pollen and nectar to feed their young. Integrated Crop Pollination: combining strategies to improve pollination Having many different species of pollinators can help ensure reliable pollination. Different species of bees tend to visit flowers at different times of the day and are active at different times throughout the bloom season; having a diverse set of bees active in your fields can ensure consistent pollination from the beginning to the end of crop bloom. Honey bee abundance and wild bee diversity are both important contributors to southeastern US blueberry pollination. Cool, rainy, and windy spring weather can lead to poor pollination. When multiple pollinator species are active, more flowers are likely to be visited on poor weather days. Large-bodied bees, including all three types of wild bees that visit Florida blueberry flowers, stay more active under Pollination is essential for blueberry production. On the left, a blueberry cluster that was enclosed in a mesh bag during cool and cloudy conditions than do honey bees and can help bloom to exclude pollinators. On the right, a blueberry cluster pollinate the crop in variable spring weather. -

Stand Structure and the Genetic Diversity of Koompassia
Sains Malaysiana 36(2)(2007): 233-242 Stand Structure and the Genetic Diversity of Koompassia malaccensis and Dryobalanops aromatica in Unlogged and Logged-over Stands (Struktur Dirian dan Kepelbagaian Genetik Koompassia Malaccensis dan Dryobalanops Aromatica pada Dirian yang Belum dan yang telah Dibalak) KIM SU LEE, RATNAM WICKNESWARI & CHEE YEN CHOONG ABSTRACT The disturbance level of two nearby logged stands, Compartment 118 and Compartment 69 were studied in Ulu Sedili Forest Reserve, Johor. The mean basal area for trees (trees ! 1 cm dbh) in logged stand of Compartment 118 showed 51% reduction in comparison to immediately before logging of the same stand. A similar level of reduction (47%) was observed for mean density of trees in Compartment 118. However, the mean basal area and mean density of tree were higher in 50-year logged Compartment 69 (21% and 122% respectively) compared to Compartment 118 before logging. Concurrently, we examined the effects of logging on genetic diversity of seedling, sapling and mature trees of two important timber species, Koompassia malaccensis and Dryobalanops aromatica using M13 universal primer (multilocus minisatellite DNA) and three other universally-primed primers. Mature trees of K. malaccensis showed 39% reduction in Shannon diversity index (H) in Compartment 69 compared to Compartment 118 before logging detected by M13 universal primer. This may be attributed to the small sample size of the species in Compartment 69. Reduction in H and polymorphic loci (P) for K. malaccensis was higher in seedlings, 5% and 56% respectively in Compartment 69 compared to mature trees (3% and 23% respectively). Contrastingly for seedlings and saplings of D. -
