Both hummingbirds and bats pollinate the species-rich and morphologically diverse genus Vriesea across its distribution in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Here, we (i) determine if floral traits predict functional groups of pollinators as documented, confirming the pollination syndromes in Vriesea and (ii) test if genetic structure in Vriesea is driven by geography (latitudinal and altitudinal heterogeneity) or ecology (pollination syndromes).

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Bromeliads grow almost exclusively in the New World tropics and subtropics, mainly in South America in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (ca. 1200 species). Within the last few decades, their beautiful shapes and colors, low maintenance and easy adaptability to small gardens have brought bromeliads into worldwide use as ornamental plants. While the ornamental bromeliad trade could make significant contributions to household economies in rural areas, the trade may represent a significant threat in some of the bromeliad biodiversity hotspot countries such as Brazil, Bolivia and Colombia.

    Archival copy: for current recommendations see http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu or your local extension office. ENH854 Low-Maintenance Landscape Plants for South Florida1 Jody Haynes, John McLaughlin, Laura Vasquez, Adrian Hunsberger2 Introduction The term "low-maintenance" refers to a plant that does not require frequent maintenance—such as This publication was developed in response to regular watering, pruning, or spraying—to remain requests from participants in the Florida Yards & healthy and to maintain an acceptable aesthetic Neighborhoods (FYN) program in Miami-Dade quality. A low-maintenance plant has low fertilizer County for a list of recommended landscape plants requirements and few pest and disease problems. In suitable for south Florida. The resulting list includes addition, low-maintenance plants suitable for south over 350 low-maintenance plants. The following Florida must also be adapted to—or at least information is included for each species: common tolerate—our poor, alkaline, sand- or limestone-based name, scientific name, maximum size, growth rate soils. (vines only), light preference, salt tolerance, and other useful characteristics. An additional criterion for the plants on this list was that they are not listed as being invasive by the Criteria Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council (FLEPPC, 2001), or restricted by any federal, state, or local laws This section will describe the criteria by which (Burks, 2000). Miami-Dade County does have plants were selected. It is important to note, first, that restrictions for planting certain species within 500 even the most drought-tolerant plants require feet of native habitats they are known to invade watering during the establishment period.

  • Ecological Functions of Neotropical Amphibians and Reptiles: a Review
    Univ. Sci. 2015, Vol. 20 (2): 229-245 doi: 10.11144/Javeriana.SC20-2.efna Freely available on line REVIEW ARTICLE Ecological functions of neotropical amphibians and reptiles: a review Cortés-Gomez AM1, Ruiz-Agudelo CA2 , Valencia-Aguilar A3, Ladle RJ4 Abstract Amphibians and reptiles (herps) are the most abundant and diverse vertebrate taxa in tropical ecosystems. Nevertheless, little is known about their role in maintaining and regulating ecosystem functions and, by extension, their potential value for supporting ecosystem services. Here, we review research on the ecological functions of Neotropical herps, in different sources (the bibliographic databases, book chapters, etc.). A total of 167 Neotropical herpetology studies published over the last four decades (1970 to 2014) were reviewed, providing information on more than 100 species that contribute to at least five categories of ecological functions: i) nutrient cycling; ii) bioturbation; iii) pollination; iv) seed dispersal, and; v) energy flow through ecosystems. We emphasize the need to expand the knowledge about ecological functions in Neotropical ecosystems and the mechanisms behind these, through the study of functional traits and analysis of ecological processes. Many of these functions provide key ecosystem services, such as biological pest control, seed dispersal and water quality. By knowing and understanding the functions that perform the herps in ecosystems, management plans for cultural landscapes, restoration or recovery projects of landscapes that involve aquatic and terrestrial systems, development of comprehensive plans and detailed conservation of species and ecosystems may be structured in a more appropriate way. Besides information gaps identified in this review, this contribution explores these issues in terms of better understanding of key questions in the study of ecosystem services and biodiversity and, also, of how these services are generated.

In the present study we identified the assemblage of plants visited by hummingbirds and investigated the temporal availability of floral resources in an area of restinga, sandy plain coastal vegetation associated with the Atlantic forest, in Southeastern Brazil.

  • Biodiversidade Brasileira Número Temático Manejo Do Fogo Em Áreas Protegidas Editorial
    Editorial 1 Biodiversidade Brasileira Número Temático Manejo do Fogo em Áreas Protegidas Editorial Katia Torres Ribeiro1, Helena França2, Heloísa Sinatora Miranda3 & Christian Niel Berlinck4 Neste segundo número de Biodiversidade Brasileira trazemos ampla e variada discussão sobre o manejo do fogo em áreas protegidas. Abrimos assim a segunda linha editorial da revista, que visa à publicação dos resultados técnico-científicos do processo de avaliação do estado de conservação das espécies bem como, na forma de números temáticos, a discussão, entre pesquisadores de diversas áreas e gestores, de temas críticos relacionados à conservação e ao manejo. A dimensão alcançada pelos incêndios em áreas naturais, rurais e urbanas do Brasil no ano de 2010 explicitou à sociedade, mais uma vez, a situação dramática e quase cotidiana em grande parte do país, no que diz respeito ao fogo. É claro que a situação pregressa e a atual não são admissíveis. No entanto, tem-se cada vez maior clareza de que a resposta ao emprego do fogo no Brasil, com sua tamanha complexidade, não pode se pautar apenas na proibição do seu uso e no combate aos focos que ocorrerem. A situação é mais complexa – o fogo é ainda ferramenta importante em muitas áreas rurais, do ponto de vista sócio-econômico, mesmo considerando o investimento em novas tecnologias, além de ser uma expressão de conflitos diversos. Seu uso pode ser, em alguns contextos, eventualmente preferível em comparação com outras opções acessíveis de trato da terra, e há ainda situações em que seu emprego intencional pode ser recomendável como ferramenta de manejo de áreas protegidas. É preciso investir na consolidação da informação, disseminação do conhecimento e discussão para que possamos, como sociedade e governo, ter uma visão mais completa do fenômeno ‘fogo’ no país, considerando a complexidade de ecossistemas, paisagens, e contextos sócio-econômicos, de modo a construir boas estratégias de manejo.
