  • A Review of Animal-Mediated Seed Dispersal of Palms
    Selbyana 11: 6-21 A REVIEW OF ANIMAL-MEDIATED SEED DISPERSAL OF PALMS SCOTT ZoNA Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, 1500 North College Avenue, Claremont, California 91711 ANDREW HENDERSON New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, New York 10458 ABSTRACT. Zoochory is a common mode of dispersal in the Arecaceae (palmae), although little is known about how dispersal has influenced the distributions of most palms. A survey of the literature reveals that many kinds of animals feed on palm fruits and disperse palm seeds. These animals include birds, bats, non-flying mammals, reptiles, insects, and fish. Many morphological features of palm infructescences and fruits (e.g., size, accessibility, bony endocarp) have an influence on the animals which exploit palms, although the nature of this influence is poorly understood. Both obligate and opportunistic frugivores are capable of dispersing seeds. There is little evidence for obligate plant-animaI mutualisms in palm seed dispersal ecology. In spite of a considerable body ofliterature on interactions, an overview is presented here ofthe seed dispersal (Guppy, 1906; Ridley, 1930; van diverse assemblages of animals which feed on der Pijl, 1982), the specifics ofzoochory (animal­ palm fruits along with a brief examination of the mediated seed dispersal) in regard to the palm role fruit and/or infructescence morphology may family have been largely ignored (Uhl & Drans­ play in dispersal and subsequent distributions. field, 1987). Only Beccari (1877) addressed palm seed dispersal specifically; he concluded that few METHODS animals eat palm fruits although the fruits appear adapted to seed dispersal by animals. Dransfield Data for fruit consumption and seed dispersal (198lb) has concluded that palms, in general, were taken from personal observations and the have a low dispersal ability, while Janzen and literature, much of it not primarily concerned Martin (1982) have considered some palms to with palm seed dispersal.

We propose a method for seed shape quantification based on the comparison of the bi-dimensional images of the seeds with geometric figures. J index is the percent of similarity of a seed image with a figure taken as a model. Models in shape quantification include geometrical figures (circle, ellipse, oval ::: ) and their derivatives, as well as other figures obtained as geometric representations of algebraic equations. The analysis is based on three sources: Published work, images available on the Internet, and seeds collected or stored in our collections. Some of the models here described are applied for the first time in seed morphology, like the superellipses, a group of bidimensional figures that represent well seed shape in species of the Calamoideae and Phoenix canariensis Hort. ex Chabaud.

  • Palmtraits 1.0, a Species-Level Functional Trait Database of Palms Worldwide
    www.nature.com/scientificdata OPEN PalmTraits 1.0, a species-level Data Descriptor functional trait database of palms worldwide Received: 3 June 2019 W. Daniel Kissling 1, Henrik Balslev2, William J. Baker 3, John Dransfeld3, Bastian Göldel2, Accepted: 9 August 2019 Jun Ying Lim1, Renske E. Onstein4 & Jens-Christian Svenning2,5 Published: xx xx xxxx Plant traits are critical to plant form and function —including growth, survival and reproduction— and therefore shape fundamental aspects of population and ecosystem dynamics as well as ecosystem services. Here, we present a global species-level compilation of key functional traits for palms (Arecaceae), a plant family with keystone importance in tropical and subtropical ecosystems. We derived measurements of essential functional traits for all (>2500) palm species from key sources such as monographs, books, other scientifc publications, as well as herbarium collections. This includes traits related to growth form, stems, armature, leaves and fruits. Although many species are still lacking trait information, the standardized and global coverage of the data set will be important for supporting future studies in tropical ecology, rainforest evolution, paleoecology, biogeography, macroecology, macroevolution, global change biology and conservation. Potential uses are comparative eco- evolutionary studies, ecological research on community dynamics, plant-animal interactions and ecosystem functioning, studies on plant-based ecosystem services, as well as conservation science concerned with the loss and restoration of functional diversity in a changing world. Background & Summary Most ecosystems are composed of a large number of species with diferent characteristics. Tese characteristics (i.e. traits) refect morphological, reproductive, physiological, phenological, or behavioural measurements of spe- cies that are usually collected to study intraspecifc trait variation (i.e.

We used six orthologues from the nuclear WRKY gene family across 98 accessions to address relationships among species and biogeographical hypotheses. We found that the formerly recognized groups within Attalea are not monophyletic and therefore there is no support for multiple genera as previously thought. Species of Attalea-like palms from the Atlantic forest form a well-supported clade sister to the Attalea species from Amazonia, the Andean valleys and Mesoamerica. Dates for the main divergence events suggest a relationship with the development of the dry forests that now span eastern South America and the now-lost Pebas Lake region in the western Amazon.

The ASEAN Regional Centre for Biodiversity Conservation (ARCBC) is acknowledged for funding the research for my field trips, laboratory work and travel. I am grateful to the Herbarium, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, London for financial support during my internship. First and foremost, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to my supervisor Assoc Prof Hugh Tan for being an excellent supervisor throughout this Ph.D project. I thank you for your encouragement, great patience, understanding and support. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my co-supervisor Assoc Prof Prakash Kumar. I thank you for your great patience, support and guidance. Many thanks also for sharing with me time management skill and how to work efficiently. My special thanks go to my co-supervisors, Drs John Dransfield and Saw Leng Guan. I thank you for your time, effort and fruitful discussions we have had. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my co-supervisor, Dr William Baker. I thank you for your encouragement, time, effort and faith in my abilities. You were always approachable whenever I had problem with my data analyses.
