Recommendation of Native Species for the Reforestation of Degraded Land Using Live Staking in Antioquia and Caldas’ Departments (Colombia)
UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI PADOVA Department of Land, Environment Agriculture and Forestry Second Cycle Degree (MSc) in Forest Science Recommendation of native species for the reforestation of degraded land using live staking in Antioquia and Caldas’ Departments (Colombia) Supervisor Prof. Lorenzo Marini Co-supervisor Prof. Jaime Polanía Vorenberg Submitted by Alicia Pardo Moy Student N. 1218558 2019/2020 Summary Although Colombia is one of the countries with the greatest biodiversity in the world, it has many degraded areas due to agricultural and mining practices that have been carried out in recent decades. The high Andean forests are especially vulnerable to this type of soil erosion. The corporate purpose of ‘Reforestadora El Guásimo S.A.S.’ is to use wood from its plantations, but it also follows the parameters of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). For this reason, it carries out reforestation activities and programs and, very particularly, it is interested in carrying out ecological restoration processes in some critical sites. The study area is located between 2000 and 2750 masl and is considered a low Andean humid forest (bmh-MB). The average annual precipitation rate is 2057 mm and the average temperature is around 11 ºC. The soil has a sandy loam texture with low pH, which limits the amount of nutrients it can absorb. FAO (2014) suggests that around 10 genera are enough for a proper restoration. After a bibliographic revision, the genera chosen were Alchornea, Billia, Ficus, Inga, Meriania, Miconia, Ocotea, Protium, Prunus, Psidium, Symplocos, Tibouchina, and Weinmannia. Two inventories from 2013 and 2019, helped to determine different biodiversity indexes to check the survival of different species and to suggest the adequate characteristics of the individuals for a successful vegetative stakes reforestation. -
The Evolution of Bat Pollination: a Phylogenetic Perspective
Annals of Botany 104: 1017–1043, 2009 doi:10.1093/aob/mcp197, available online at www.aob.oxfordjournals.org INVITED REVIEW The evolution of bat pollination: a phylogenetic perspective Theodore H.

A small but ecologically and economically important group of plants classified in 28 orders, 67 families and about 528 species of angiosperms are pollinated by nectar-feeding bats. From a phylogenetic perspective this is a derived pollination mode involving a relatively large and energetically expensive pollinator. Here its ecologi- cal and evolutionary consequences are explored. Downloaded from † Scope and Conclusions This review summarizes adaptations in bats and plants that facilitate this interaction and discusses the evolution of bat pollination from a plant phylogenetic perspective. Two families of bats contain specialized flower visitors, one in the Old World and one in the New World. Adaptation to pollination by bats has evolved independently many times from a variety of ancestral conditions, including insect-, bird- and non-volant mammal-pollination. Bat pollination predominates in very few families but is relatively common in certain angiosperm subfamilies and tribes. -
Molecular Phylogenetics of Melastomataceae and Memecylaceae: Implications for Character Evolution1

MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS OF MELASTOMATACEAE AND MEMECYLACEAE: IMPLICATIONS FOR CHARACTER EVOLUTION1 G. CLAUSING2,4 AND S. S. RENNER3,4 2Institut fuÈr Spezielle Botanik, UniversitaÈt Mainz, D-55099 Mainz, Germany; 3Department of Biology, University of Missouri-St. Louis, 8001 Natural Bridge Rd., St. Louis, Missouri 63121 USA; and The Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis, Missouri 63166 USA Melastomataceae are among the most abundant and diversi®ed groups of plants throughout the tropics, but their intrafamily rela- tionships and morphological evolution are poorly understood. Here we report the results of parsimony and maximum likelihood (ML) analyses of cpDNA sequences from the rbcL and ndhF genes and the rpl16 intron, generated for eight outgroups (Crypteroniaceae, Alzateaceae, Rhynchocalycaceae, Oliniaceae, Penaeaceae, Myrtaceae, and Onagraceae) and 54 species of melastomes. The sample represents 42 of the family's currently recognized ;150 genera, the 13 traditional tribes, and the three subfamilies, Astronioideae, Melastomatoideae, and Memecyloideae (5 Memecylaceae DC.). Parsimony and ML yield congruent topologies that place Memecy- laceae as sister to Melastomataceae. Pternandra, a Southeast Asian genus of 15 species of which ®ve were sampled, is the ®rst- branching Melastomataceae. This placement has low bootstrap support (72%), but agrees with morphological treatments that placed Pternandra in Melastomatacaeae because of its acrodromal leaf venation, usually ranked as a tribe or subfamily. The interxylary phloem islands found in Memecylaceae and Pternandra, but not most other Melastomataceae, likely evolved in parallel because Pternandra resembles Melastomataceae in its other wood characters. -

1 Updates Required to Plant Systematics: A
Updates Required to Plant Systematics: A Phylogenetic Approach, Third Edition, as a Result of Recent Publications (Updated June 13, 2014) As necessitated by recent publications, updates to the Third Edition of our textbook will be provided in this document. It is hoped that this list will facilitate the efficient incorporation new systematic information into systematic courses in which our textbook is used. Plant systematics is a dynamic field, and new information on phylogenetic relationships is constantly being published. Thus, it is not surprising that even introductory texts require constant modification in order to stay current. The updates are organized by chapter and page number. Some require only minor changes, as indicated below, while others will require more extensive modifications of the wording in the text or figures, and in such cases we have presented here only a summary of the major points. The eventual fourth edition will, of course, contain many organizational changes not treated below. Page iv: Meriania hernandii Meriania hernandoi Chapter 1.

BOTÁNICA EVALUACIÓN DE CARACTERES DEL CÁLIZ Y DE LOS ESTAMBRES EN LA TRIBU MERIANIEAE (MELASTOMATACEAE) Y DEFINICIÓN DE HOMOLOGÍAS Por Humberto Mendoza-Cifuentes1 & José Luis Fernández-Alonso1,2 Resumen H. Mendoza-Cifuentes & J. L. Fernández-Alonso: Evaluación de caracteres del cáliz y de los estambres en la tribu Merianieae (Melastomataceae) y definición de homologías. Rev. Acad. Colomb. Cienc. 34 (131): 143-172, 2010. ISSN 0370-3908. Los caracteres del cáliz y de los estambres se han utilizado clásicamente para diferenciar géneros y establecer secciones dentro de géneros en la tribu Merianieae (Melastomataceae), pero no se han analizado integralmente desde el punto de vista de homologías. Se estableció una lista completa de especies para la tribu y se evaluó la variación de los caracteres del cáliz y los estam- bres. En total se registran 15 géneros y 277 especies en Merianieae, el 78% de las cuales fueron evaluadas completamente y el resto de ellas parcialmente en lo referente a los caracteres estudia- dos. Se establecieron 23 caracteres, cinco asociados al cáliz y 18 a los estambres. En Merianieae se presenta gran variación en el desarrollo de los lóbulos y del diente dorsal del cáliz y en la apertura de la caliptra. Las flores son diplostémonas en todos los géneros. Se encontró que en cinco de los géneros (el 80% de las especies de la tribu) los estambres son no geniculados. Se plantea que la ausencia de geniculación en los estambres se originó por fusión de tejidos del conectivo y del filamento, que impide que los estambres se descontorsionen en la antesis. -
