Situation Analysis A: CONTEXT National context 1. Encompassing 27 percent of the Earth’s land surface (across all continents, latitudes and principal biomes), mountains support a broad spectrum of biological diversity and provide diverse goods and services to well over half of the world’s seven billion people (Price et al., 20111 and ICIMOD, 20102). They harbor a significant portion of distinct ethnic groups, remnants of cultural traditions, environmental knowledge, complex agro-cultural gene pools and traditional management practices and habitat adaptations (CBD, 2012).3 Since the Rio Summit in 1992, there has been increasing global awareness of the importance of mountain areas. For instance, the Rio +20 Conference on Sustainable Development (2012) reiterated that the benefits derived from mountains are essential for sustainable development and called for greater efforts towards their conservation.4 2. In India, mountains account for a majority of its 4 (of 34 in the

Using a time-calibrated multi-gene phylogeny, we analyze the tempo of diversification in thecontextof Ecological opportunity past climate and geography to identify historical drivers of current patterns of diversity and distribution. Molecular Diversification dating suggests that the diversification was seeded by migration across a land-bridge connection from India duringa Molecular dating period of climatic cooling and drying, the Oi-1 glacial maximum around the Eocene-Oligocene boundary. Lineage- Speciation through-time plots suggest a gradual and constant rate of diversification, beginning in the Oligocene and extending through the late Miocene and early Pliocene with a slight burst in the Pleistocene.

The NCEF was subjected to detect the presence of various phytoconstituents. In acute oral toxicity study, graded doses of NCEF was administered in mice and were observed up to 14 days. In sub-chronic oral toxicity study, NCEF was admin- istered to Wistar rats at doses of 50, 500 and 1000 mg/kg b.w. per day for 90 days and after that, observed up to 28 days. NCEF showed the presence of alkaloids, steroids, phenolics and glycosides. In acute toxicity study, there was no mortality and no behavioural signs of toxicity at the highest dose level (6400 mg/kg b.w.).

Patterns of reproductive-mode evolution in doi:10.1111/zsc.12121 Old World tree frogs (Anura, Rhacophoridae). —Zoologica Scripta, 00, 000–000. The Old World tree frogs (Anura: Rhacophoridae), with 387 species, display a remarkable diversity of reproductive modes – aquatic breeding, terrestrial gel nesting, terrestrial foam nesting and terrestrial direct development. The evolution of these modes has until now remained poorly studied in the context of recent phylogenies for the clade. Here, we use newly obtained DNA sequences from three nuclear and two mitochondrial gene fragments, together with previously published sequence data, to generate a well-resolved phylogeny from which we determine major patterns of reproductive-mode evolution. We show that basal rhacophorids have fully aquatic eggs and larvae. Bayesian ancestral-state reconstruc- tions suggest that terrestrial gel-encapsulated eggs, with early stages of larval development completed within the egg outside of water, are an intermediate stage in the evolution of ter- restrial direct development and foam nesting. The ancestral forms of almost all currently recognized genera (except the fully aquatic basal forms) have a high likelihood of being ter- restrial gel nesters. Direct development and foam nesting each appear to have evolved at least twice within Rhacophoridae, suggesting that reproductive modes are labile and may arise multiple times independently.

  • Tabebuia Roseo-Alba
    Tabebuia roseo-alba Tabebuia roseo-alba, known as white ipê, ipê-branco or lapacho blanco, is a Tabebuia roseo-alba tree native to Cerrado and Pantanal vegetation in Brazil, but also appears in Argentina (especially in the "Esteros del Ibera" wetlands) and more rarely in Paraguay. This plant is frequently used as an ornamental plant and honey plant in Brazil and Argentina.[2] On the other hand, its flowers seem to be less popular with many hummingbirds than those of other Tabebuia, being visited mostly by the occasional generalist species like the Gilded Sapphire (Hylocharis chrysura).[3] See also List of honey plants List of plants of Cerrado vegetation of Brazil List of plants of Pantanal vegetation of Brazil Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae References Clade: Tracheophytes 1.

E-mail: Abstract: The present study was carried out to document the diversity of arborescent angiosperm taxa of Mundanthurai representingRange in the 175Kalakad-Mundanthurai genera in 65 families Tiger were Reserve recorded. (KMTR) The most of the speciose southern families Western are Euphorbiaceae Ghats in India. (27 During spp.), the Rubiaceae floristic survey carried out from January 2008 to December 2010, a total of 247 species and intraspecific taxa of trees and shrubs to this region which includes Agasthiyamalaia pauciflora, Elaeocarpus venustus, Garcinia travancorica, Gluta travancorica, (17Goniothalamus spp.), Myrtaceae rhynchantherus, (14 spp.), Lauraceae Homalium (13 travancoricum, spp.) and Annonaceae Homaium (11 jainii, spp.). OropheaOf the 247 uniflora, taxa, 27 Phlogacanthus species are endemic albiflorus, only Polyalthia shendurunii, Symplocos macrocarpa and Symplocos sessilis . This clearly signifies that this range is relevant to the conservation of the local flora. Introduction India for conserving global biological diversity and also The Western Ghats is one of the biodiversity hotspots declared as Regional Centre of Endemism in the Indian of the world (Myers et al.

    SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS Materials and Methods Taxon sampling Our dataset included 13 species of Polypedates (P. otilophus, P. colletti, P. cruciger, P. maculatus, P. pseudocruciger, P. macrotis, P. mutus, P. braueri, P. impresus, P. megacephalus, P. teraiensis, P. leucomystax, and P. discantus). Eight additional species belonging to the genera Feihyla, Ghatixalus, and Taruga, which are closely related to Polypedates (Li et al., 2013), and two outgroup species (Kurixalus idiootocus and Kurixalus banaensis) were also sampled (Supplementary Table S1). The sampling localities covered most distribution areas, including India, Sri Lanka, South China (including Hainan and Taiwan islands), mainland Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, and Bangladesh), Malay Peninsula and associated islands, Sundaland (Borneo, Java, Sumatra, and Sulawesi), Philippine Archipelago, and Japan (Supplementary Figure S1). DNA extraction, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, and sequencing Sequences of mitochondrial (12S rRNA, tRNAVal, and 16S rRNA) and nuclear genes (exon 1 of tyrosinase (TYR), exon 1 of rhodopsin (RHOD), proopiomelanocortin (POMC)) from previous studies (Brown et al., 2010; Grosjean et al., 2015; Haas & Das, 2008; Hasan et al., 2014; Hertwig et al., 2013; Kuraishi et al., 2013; Li et al., 2009, 2013; Matsui et al., 2014a, 2014b; Pan et al., 2013; Rujirawan et al., 2013; Yu et al., 2008) were retrieved from GenBank. Candidate DNA fragments, including three mtDNA and three nuclear DNA fragments of 15 individuals from six species, were newly acquired in this study. Genomic DNA was extracted from either muscle or liver tissues and initially preserved in 95% ethanol. An Ezup Column Animal Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Sangon Biotech, China) was used for genomic DNA extraction, with minor modifications to the manufacturer’s protocols.
