    PERUVIAN PLANTCUTTER Phytotoma raimondii E1 This rare plantcutter inhabits the coast of northern Peru, where it may require a specific habitat that is now threatened by the almost complete cultivation of the coastal river valleys. DISTRIBUTION The Peruvian Plantcutter is known from very few coastal localities (at altitudes varying from sea-level to 550 m) in Tumbes, Piura, Lambayeque, La Libertad, Ancash and Lima departments, Peru (coordinates, unless otherwise stated, from Stephens and Traylor 1983) as follows: Tumbes Tumbes1 (3°34’S 80°28’W), whence comes the type- specimen, from near sea-level (Taczanowski 1883); Piura Quebrada Salada2 (4°33’S 81°08’W: coordinates given on label), east of Talara, where a specimen (in BMNH) was collected at 90 m in September 1933; near Talara3 (4°33’S 81°13’W), where a bird (in ROM) was taken at 275 m in March 1934; Quebrada Ancha4 (4°36’S 81°08’W: coordinates given on label), east- south-east of Talara, where four birds (in BMNH, ROM) were taken at 170 m in January and October 1933, January 1936 and March 1937; Lambayeque Reque5 (6°52’S 79°50’W), where 20 birds were seen in August 1989 (B.

Thus, both in terms of quantities produced and the value of its products, the vine constitutes a particularly important cultivation. THE HOST PLANT AND ITS CULTIVATION The original area of distribution of the genus Vitis was broken up by the separation of the continents; although numerous species developed, Vitis vinifera has been cultivated from the beginning for its fruit and wine producing qualities (43, 75, 184). This cultivation commenced in Transcaucasia about 6000 B.C. Subsequent human migration spread its cultivation, at firstaround the Mediterranean coast; the Roman conquest led to the plant's progressive establishment in Europe, almost to its present extent. Much later, the WesternEuropeans planted the grape vine wherever cultiva­ tion was possible, i.e. throughout the temperate and warm temperate regions of the by NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY on 02/01/10.

Exploiting high throughput DNA sequencing data for genomic analysis Summary Markus Hsi-Yang Fritz Darwin College The last few years have witnessed a drastic increase in genomic data. This has been facilitated by the shift away from the Sanger sequencing tech- nique to an array of high-throughput methods — so-called next-generation sequencing technologies. This enormous growth of available DNA data has been a tremendous boon to large-scale genomics studies and has rapidly advanced fields such as environmental genomics, ancient DNA research, population genomics and disease association. On the other hand, however, researchers and sequence archives are now facing an enormous data deluge. Critically, the rate of sequencing data accumulation is now outstripping advances in hard drive capacity, network bandwidth and processing power.
