Introduction Classification in subfamilies and The family Poaceae (Gramineae) encompasses its relationship with morphology approximately 800 genera and 10,000 species and chorology (Watson & Dallwitz 1992), which predominate in the Several classification systems of Poaceae have flora and physiognomy of open vegetations all over been proposed, based mainly on the morphology the world. The economic importance of this family of the spikelets. Two large groups were accepted: is unquestionable for it has many different types of (1) spikelets with two anthecia (see McClure & use, and it includes the major cereals and forages. Soderstrom 1972), the basal anthecium staminate Because of the great diversity of Poaceae or neuter (very rarely bisexual) and the apical and its wide variability (Watson & Dallwitz bisexual, with the articulation between rachilla 1992), researchers have traditionally divided it and pedicel below the glumes; and (2) spikelets into subfamilies. This division was initially based exhibiting from one to many anthecia, all bisexual on morphological, anatomical, cytological, and or at least one basal bisexual, and the articulation chromosomic characters, with molecular data being above the glumes, corresponding, respectively, to added more recently. Hence, the number of accepted the series Panicaceae and Poaceae by Bentham & subfamilies and the characters used to determine Hooker (1880). These groups were later accepted them have varied through time. In the seminal as the subfamilies Panicoideae and Festucoideae, publication of GPWG (2001), which proposed a respectively (Hitchcock 1950). Prat (1936) added new subfamilial classification of Poaceae based on the subfamily Bambusoideae, also based on morphological and molecular data, the authors made anatomical and cytological characters, especially a comparison between their classification and the the presence of fusiform cells in the mesophyll. main previous proposals of classification. Later, Pilger (1956) accepted a larger number of The objective of this study is to review subfamilies: Andropogonoideae, Anomochlooideae, different aspects of the taxonomy of Poaceae, Eragrostoideae, Festucoideae, Micrairoideae, including morphology and subfamily classification, Olyroideae, Oryzoideae, and Panicoideae. and to consider the relationship between chorology Parodi (1961) proposed a classification and habitat for different groups.

Previous col- lections of vegetative Merostachys specimens from El Triunfo, Chiapas, Mexico, were identified as M. pauciflora. However, new flowering collections from the state of Tabasco, Mexico, allowed us to differentiate the Mexican populations from M. latifolia and M. pauciflora. A detailed study of samples from the Tabasco population, and a review of the previous collections from Chiapas, confirmed the existence of a new Merostachys species, which we here describe and illustrate as M.

    Welcome to the Ornithological Congress of the Americas! Puerto Iguazú, Misiones, Argentina, from 8–11 August, 2017 Puerto Iguazú is located in the heart of the interior Atlantic Forest and is the portal to the Iguazú Falls, one of the world’s Seven Natural Wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area surrounding Puerto Iguazú, the province of Misiones and neighboring regions of Paraguay and Brazil offers many scenic attractions and natural areas such as Iguazú National Park, and provides unique opportunities for birdwatching. Over 500 species have been recorded, including many Atlantic Forest endemics like the Blue Manakin (Chiroxiphia caudata), the emblem of our congress. This is the first meeting collaboratively organized by the Association of Field Ornithologists, Sociedade Brasileira de Ornitologia and Aves Argentinas, and promises to be an outstanding professional experience for both students and researchers. The congress will feature workshops, symposia, over 400 scientific presentations, 7 internationally renowned plenary speakers, and a celebration of 100 years of Aves Argentinas!

Homalopoa has diversified extensively in the Americas. Over half of the species in the supersection are diclinous; most of these are from the New World, while a few are from South-East Asia. Diclinism in Homalopoa can be divided into three main types: gynomonoecism, gynodioe- cism and dioecism. Here the sampling of species of New World Homalopoa is expanded to date its origin and diver- sification in North and South America and examine the evolution and origin of the breeding system diversity.

Pereira 1 1 Universidade Federal do Pampa, São Gabriel, Brazil, 2 Laboratório de Palinologia da Universidade Luterana do Brasil–ULBRA, Universidade Luterana do Brazil, Canoas, Brazil This aim of this study was to distinguish grasslands from forests in southern Brazil by analyzing Poaceae pollen grains. Through light microscopy analysis, we measured the size of the pollen grain, pore, and annulus from 68 species of Rio Grande do Sul. Measurements were recorded of 10 forest species and 58 grassland species, representing all tribes of the Poaceae in Rio Grande do Sul. We measured the polar, equatorial, pore, and annulus diameter. Results of statistical tests showed that arboreous forest species have larger pollen grain sizes than grassland and herbaceous forest species, and in particular there are strongly significant differences between arboreous and grassland species. Discriminant analysis identified three distinct groups representing Edited by: each vegetation type.

The morphological diversity of Arthrostylidiinae makes its taxonomy difficult and prior Revised 18 May 2012 molecular analyses of bamboos have lacked breadth of sampling within the subtribe, leaving internal Accepted 29 May 2012 relationships uncertain. We sampled 51 taxa, chosen to span the range of taxonomic diversity and mor- Available online 6 June 2012 phology, and analyzed a combined chloroplast DNA dataset with six chloroplast regions: ndhF, trnD-trnT, trnC-rpoB, rps16-trnQ, trnT-trnL, and rpl16. A consensus of maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference Keywords: analyses reveals monophyly of the Arthrostylidiinae and four moderately supported lineages within it.

Didymogonyx is here raised to generic status. When mapped onto our topology, many of Didymogonyx the morphological characters show homoplasy.
