  • Phylogeny and Evolution of the Dissorophoid Temnospondyls

Schoch Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde, Rosenstein 1, D-70191 Stuttgart, Germany 〈[email protected]〉 Abstract.—Dissorophoid temnospondyls are widely considered to have given rise to some or all modern amphibians (Lissamphibia), but their ingroup relationships still bear major unresolved questions. An inclusive phylogenetic ana- lysis of dissorophoids gives new insights into the large-scale topology of relationships. Based on a TNT 1.5 analysis (33 taxa, 108 characters), the enigmatic taxon Perryella is found to nest just outside Dissorophoidea (phylogenetic defintion), but shares a range of synapomorphies with this clade. The dissorophoids proper are found to encompass a first dichotomy between the largely paedomorphic Micromelerpetidae and all other taxa (Xerodromes). Within the latter, there is a basal dichotomy between the large, heavily ossified Olsoniformes (Dissorophidae + Trematopidae) and the small salamander-like Amphibamiformes (new taxon), which include four clades: (1) Micropholidae (Tersomius, Pasawioops, Micropholis); (2) Amphibamidae sensu stricto (Doleserpeton, Amphibamus); (3) Branchiosaur- idae (Branchiosaurus, Apateon, Leptorophus, Schoenfelderpeton); and (4) Lissamphibia. The genera Platyrhinops and Eos- copus are here found to nest at the base of Amphibamiformes. Represented by their basal-most stem-taxa (Triadobatrachus, Karaurus, Eocaecilia), lissamphibians nest with Gerobatrachus rather than Amphibamidae, as repeatedly found by former analyses.

Using diversity indices (Shannon-Wiener), plant knowledge is compared among communities (urban- rural population), and between sex (male-female) and age (older or younger than 40 years) categories within each community. Among our informants, we found quantitative differences concerning the knowledge of medicinal plants between sex and age categories. Some individuals play a key role relating to medicinal plant knowledge, and steps should be taken in order to include them in management and conservation plans. Key words: ethnobotany, diversity indices, plant knowledge and use, Rio Negro, Brazilian Amazon.

  • Amazon Alive!
    Amazon Alive! A decade of discovery 1999-2009 The Amazon is the planet’s largest rainforest and river basin. It supports countless thousands of species, as well as 30 million people. © Brent Stirton / Getty Images / WWF-UK © Brent Stirton / Getty Images The Amazon is the largest rainforest on Earth. It’s famed for its unrivalled biological diversity, with wildlife that includes jaguars, river dolphins, manatees, giant otters, capybaras, harpy eagles, anacondas and piranhas. The many unique habitats in this globally significant region conceal a wealth of hidden species, which scientists continue to discover at an incredible rate. Between 1999 and 2009, at least 1,200 new species of plants and vertebrates have been discovered in the Amazon biome (see page 6 for a map showing the extent of the region that this spans). The new species include 637 plants, 257 fish, 216 amphibians, 55 reptiles, 16 birds and 39 mammals. In addition, thousands of new invertebrate species have been uncovered. Owing to the sheer number of the latter, these are not covered in detail by this report. This report has tried to be comprehensive in its listing of new plants and vertebrates described from the Amazon biome in the last decade. But for the largest groups of life on Earth, such as invertebrates, such lists do not exist – so the number of new species presented here is no doubt an underestimate.

  • Wood Anatomy of Neotropical Sapotaceae VI Chloroluma
    WOOD ANATOMY OF THE NEOTROPICAL SAPOTACEAE VlI. CHRYSOPHYLLUM RESEARCH PAPER FPL 331 FOREST PRODUCTS LABORATORY FOREST SERVICE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE MADISON, WIS. 1978 Preface The Sapotaceae form an important part of the ecosystem in the neotropics; forexample, limited inventories made in the Amazon Basin indicate that this family makes up about 25% of the standing timber volume there. This would represent an astronomical volume of timber but at present only a very small fraction is being utilized. Obviously, better information would help utilization--expecially if that information can result in clear identification of species. The Sapotaceae represent a well-marked and natural family but the homogeneous nature of their floral characters makes generic identifi­ cation extremely difficult. This in turn is responsible for the extensivesynonomy. Baehni and Bernardi state the situation with respect to Peru but this would hold equally well for all of the neotropics: "For instance, of the 39 species and one variety described hereunder, 13 are known only from the Peruvian type; and 23 taxa here presented have no fruit or seed. It is universally admitted that the taxonomy of this family is almost impossible without--for the same species--leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds." Unfortunately, species continue to be named on the basis of flowering or fruiting material alone and this continues to add to the already confused state of affairs. This paper on Chrysophyllum is the seventh in a series describing the anatomy of the secondary xylem of the neotropical Sapotaceae. The earlier papers, all by the same author and under the same general heading,include: I.

  • (2019) the Miracle of the Brazil
    u 5 The Miracle of the Brazilian Cerrados as a Juggernaut: Soil, Science, and National Culture Claiton Marcio da Silva1 Everywhere, long-term economic trajectories, the ebb and flow of political power, the waxing and waning of populations, rested on the successful management of soil nutrients. For want of nitrogen, many a kingdom was lost. –McNeil and Winiwarter, Soils and Societies The Brazilian Cerrados are considered by agribusiness as the last agricultural frontier before the Amazon rainforest, covering nearly one-fourth of the coun- try’s territory, whose accelerated transformation at the end of the twentieth century by the allied forces of business and science has been unique. From a semi-arid savannah, it was turned into a fertile agricultural land, but this miracle has not occurred without externalities. The history of the Cerrado bi- ome fertilization contains fundamental lessons for cultural and environmental protection, as well as a singular context for environmental cultural studies (ECS), due to the strong impact of agriculture over biological and social di- versity, which I will later conceptualize as biocultural diversity, and which, in terms of speed, reach, and scale, may have been rarely observed previously in human history. Yet its history obtained less attention by environmental and social sciences when compared with other Brazilian biomes, such as the At- lantic Forest.2 Prior to World War II, when Brazilian farmers and governments consid- ered Cerrado lands to be infertile and unsuitable for large-scale agriculture, Environmental Cultural Studies Through Time: The Luso-Hispanic World Hispanic Issues On Line 24 (2019) DA SILVA u 99 ranchers’, small farmers’, and indigenous people’s economies were based on mining, cattle breeding, and subsistence agriculture.

COLLECTED FROM THE PLANT OR AFTER NATURALLY FALLING OFF AND SUBJECTED TO SLOW AND QUICK FREEZING1 MARIA NEUDES SOUSA OLIVEIRA2, PAULO SÉRGIO NASCIMENTO LOPES3, MARIA OLÍVIA MERCADANTE-SIMÕES4, EDUARDO GUSMÃO PEREIRA5, LEONARDO MONTEIRO RIBEIRO6 ABSTRACT- Soluble solids (SS), titratable acidity (TA), SS/TA ratio, pH, moisture, soluble sugars (SSU), total reducing sugars (RSU), and non-reducing sugars (NRS) were assessed in the pulp of pequi fruits collected at three ripening stages: from the plant, from the ground after naturally falling off, and collected from the ground three days after naturally falling off. The evaluation was performed after six months of freezer storage both for fruits subjected to quick freezing (liquid nitrogen followed by freezer) and slow freezing (straight into the freezer). The variables assessed were not influenced by the freezing method. The SS, TA, and RSU contents increased with the ripening stage, suggesting that the fruits collected from the plant are still immature and have lower quality than those collected after naturally falling off. Although considered mature when they fall off, fruits consumed three days after naturally falling off have better quality. Index terms: Extractivism; management, pulp chemical composition, fruit development stage, handling. QUALIDADE PÓS-COLHEITA DO PEQUI (Caryocar brasiliense CAMB.)
