Dahms, John Christopher Priesing Project Staff : Youn-Bong Ku, Chang-Hwan Bae, Moon-Soo Lim Published on April 23, 2010 The Flora and Fauna of Korea logo was designed to represent six major target groups of the project including vertebrates, invertebrates, insects, algae, fungi, and bacteria. The book cover and the logo were designed by Jee-Yeon Koo. Preface In the wake of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), which recognized national sover- eignty over indigenous biological and genetic resources when adopted in 1992, countries around the world have been putting their best foot forward in unearthing raw biological materials reckoned as one of the crucial resources upon which national competitiveness depends to a great extent in the 21st century. Being well aware of the priority of securing and managing biological resources, the National Institute of Biological Resources (NIBR) under the Korean Ministry of Environment decided to issue the Flora and Fauna of Korea in an attempt to attain systematic management and comprehensive conservation of biological resources at the national level. Endowed with diverse landscapes involving a wide range of topographic conditions, Korea is acclaimed as one of the nations with high levels of biological diversity. Purporting to establish a thorough record on national indigenous species, the NIBR embarked on the publication of the Flora and Fauna of Korea in Korean and English detailing those species inhabiting the Korean peninsula in 2006. Our dedication to research during the past three years led by a group of professionals in the field of systematics finally came to fruition with issuance of the first of a kind monograph for Korean animals, fungi and algae encompassing approximately 1,037 species in 158 families belonging to 9 phyla. It is my firm belief that this very first national the Flora and Fauna of Korea is indeed the culmination of our persevering scientific research efforts aimed at deepening our understanding on native species and acutely identifying Korean biota. It will not only serve as an important initiative for sustainable biodiversity conservation but also a catalyst for rational and far-sighted use of biological resources. I would like to extend my utmost gratitude to the team of over 29 professors and associated experts headed by Prof. Sook Shin of Sahmyook University for their unsparing efforts in producing this groundbreaking work. I earnestly hope that on-going publication of the Flora and Fauna of Korea initiated by the Ministry of Environment will significantly contribute to unveiling all Korean native species estimated up to 100,000 and expanding wise utilization of beneficial indigenous resources.

    PHYCOLOGICAL REVIEWS 18 the Species Concept in Diatoms

    Phycologia (1999) Volume 38 (6), 437-495 Published 10 December 1999 PHYCOLOGICAL REVIEWS 18 The species concept in diatoms DAVID G. MANN* Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh EH3 5LR, Scotland, UK D.G. MANN. 1999. Phycological reviews 18. The species concept in diatoms. Phycologia 38: 437-495. Diatoms are the most species-rich group of algae. They are ecologically widespread and have global significance in the carbon and silicon cycles, and are used increasingly in ecological monitoring, paleoecological reconstruction, and stratigraphic corre­ lation. Despite this, the species taxonomy of diatoms is messy and lacks a satisfactory practical or conceptual basis, hindering further advances in all aspects of diatom biology. Several model systems have provided valuable insights into the nature of diatom species. A consilience of evidence (the 'Waltonian species concept') from morphology, genetic data, mating systems, physiology, ecology, and crossing behavior suggests that species boundaries have traditionally been drawn too broadly; many species probably contain several reproductively isolated entities that are worth taxonomic recognition at species level. Pheno­ typic plasticity, although present, is not a serious problem for diatom taxonomy. However, although good data are now available for demes living in sympatry, we have barely begun to extend studies to take into account variation between allopatric demes, which is necessary if a global taxonomy is to be built. Endemism has been seriously underestimated among diatoms, but biogeographical and stratigraphic patterns are difficult to discern, because of a lack of trustwOlthy data and because the taxonomic concepts of many authors are undocumented. Morphological diversity may often be a largely accidental consequence of physiological differentiation, as a result of the peculiarities of diatom cell division and the life cycle.

Executive Summary To many Koreans, the concept of disaster management will be relatively new and unfamiliar since people often thought of disasters as destiny, and as the government historically did not put much effort into “managing” disasters with an effective system. It is only after Sewol ferry incident of 2014 that Koreans began to realize how important it is to effectively manage disasters, which can happen anytime, anywhere, without warning. In recent years, the Korean government has taken steps to improve the country’s disaster management system, first by establishing the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) in 2004, and then by replacing NEMA with the newly-created Ministry of Public Safety and Security (MPSS) in 2014. However, to the author, it is unclear as to whether the government is ready to admit the mistakes of the past, learn from the past tragedies, and really try to change the country’s approach to emergency management.

    The Model Marine Diatom Thalassiosira Pseudonana Likely

    Alverson et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2011, 11:125 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/11/125 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access The model marine diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana likely descended from a freshwater ancestor in the genus Cyclotella Andrew J Alverson1*, Bánk Beszteri2, Matthew L Julius3 and Edward C Theriot4 Abstract Background: Publication of the first diatom genome, that of Thalassiosira pseudonana, established it as a model species for experimental and genomic studies of diatoms. Virtually every ensuing study has treated T. pseudonana as a marine diatom, with genomic and experimental data valued for their insights into the ecology and evolution of diatoms in the world’s oceans. Results: The natural distribution of T. pseudonana spans both marine and fresh waters, and phylogenetic analyses of morphological and molecular datasets show that, 1) T. pseudonana marks an early divergence in a major freshwater radiation by diatoms, and 2) as a species, T. pseudonana is likely ancestrally freshwater. Marine strains therefore represent recent recolonizations of higher salinity habitats. In addition, the combination of a relatively nondescript form and a convoluted taxonomic history has introduced some confusion about the identity of T. pseudonana and, by extension, its phylogeny and ecology. We resolve these issues and use phylogenetic criteria to show that T. pseudonana is more appropriately classified by its original name, Cyclotella nana. Cyclotella contains a mix of marine and freshwater species and so more accurately conveys the complexities of the phylogenetic and natural histories of T. pseudonana. Conclusions: The multitude of physical barriers that likely must be overcome for diatoms to successfully colonize freshwaters suggests that the physiological traits of T.

    GEO BON OPEN SCIENCE CONFERENCE & ALL HANDS MEETING 2020 06–10 July 2020, 100 % VIRTUAL Book of Abstracts Keynote 1 IPBES: Science and evidence for biodiversity policy and action Anne Larigauderie Executive Secretary of IPBES This talk will start by a presentation of the achievements of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform for Biodiversity (IPBES) during its first work programme, starting with the release of its first assessment, on Pollinators, Pollination and Food Production in 2016, and culminating with the release of the first IPBES Global Assessment of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in 2019. The talk will highlights some of the findings of the IPBES Global Assessment, including trends in the contributions of nature to people over the past 50 years, direct and indirect causes of biodiversity loss, and progress against the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, and some of the Sustainable Development Goals, ending with options for action. The talk will then briefly present the new IPBES work programme up to 2030, and its three new topics, and end with considerations regarding GEO BON, and the need to establish an operational global observing system for biodiversity to support the implementation of the post 2020 Global Biodiversity Framework. 1 Keynote 2 Securing Critical Natural Capital: Science and Policy Frontiers for Essential Ecosystem Service Variables Rebecca Chaplin-Kramer Stanford University, USA As governments, business, and lending institutions are increasingly considering investments in natural capital as one strategy to meet their operational and development goals sustainably, the importance of accurate, accessible information on ecosystem services has never been greater. However, many ecosystem services are highly localized, requiring high-resolution and contextually specific information—which has hindered the delivery of this information at the pace and scale at which it is needed.

    First Report of the Genus Spicaticribra Johansen, Kociolek and Lowe in a Colombian Reservoir and Revision of the Infrageneric Taxa Present in South America

    Gallo-Sánchez et al. Actual Biol 37 (103): 169-176, 2015 | DOI: 10.17533/udea.acbi.v37n103a05 First report of the genus Spicaticribra Johansen, Kociolek and Lowe in a Colombian reservoir and revision of the infrageneric taxa present in South America Primer registro del género Spicaticribra Johansen, Kociolek y Lowe en un embalse colombiano y revisión de los taxones infragenéricos presentes en América del Sur Lina J. Gallo-Sánchez1, 3, Silvia E. Sala2, 4, José M. Guerrero-Tizzano2, 5, María T. Flórez-M.1, 6 Abstract The genus Spicaticribra Johansen, Kociolek, and Lowe is reported for the first time in Colombia, in surface sediment samples collected at Embalse La Fe. Materials were examined with light and scanning electron microscopies and their main morphologic and morphometric characters were compared to those of the remaining species of the genus. Based on these results we assigned them to Spicaticribra kingstonii and propose S. kodaikanaliana Kartrick and Kocioleck as a synonym. We conclude that the genus is represented in South America by only two species, S. patagonica Maidana restricted to the south region of the continent and S. kingstonii distributed across a broad latitudinal range. Key words: Colombia, diatoms, La Fe reservoir, Spicaticribra kingstonii, surface sediments, Thalassiosirales Resumen El género Spicaticribra Johansen, Kociolek y Lowe fue hallado por primera vez en Colombia, en muestras de sedimento superficial, recolectadas en el Embalse La Fe. En este trabajo el material recolectado se estudió bajo microscopios óptico y electrónico de barrido y se compararon los principales caracteres morfológicos y morfométricos con los de las otras especies del género.
