Generic and Subtribal Relationships in Neotropical Cymbidieae (Orchidaceae) Based on Matk/Ycf1 Plastid Data
LANKESTERIANA 13(3): 375—392. 2014. I N V I T E D P A P E R* GENERIC AND SUBTRIBAL RELATIONSHIPS IN NEOTROPICAL CYMBIDIEAE (ORCHIDACEAE) BASED ON MATK/YCF1 PLASTID DATA W. MARK WHITTEN1,2, KURT M. NEUBIG1 & N. H. WILLIAMS1 1Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida Gainesville, FL 32611-7800 USA 2Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Relationships among all subtribes of Neotropical Cymbidieae (Orchidaceae) were estimated using combined matK/ycf1 plastid sequence data for 289 taxa. The matrix was analyzed using RAxML. Bootstrap (BS) analyses yield 100% BS support for all subtribes except Stanhopeinae (87%). Generic relationships within subtribes are highly resolved and are generally congruent with those presented in previous studies and as summarized in Genera Orchidacearum. Relationships among subtribes are largely unresolved. The Szlachetko generic classification of Maxillariinae is not supported. A new combination is made for Maxillaria cacaoensis J.T.Atwood in Camaridium. KEY WORDS: Orchidaceae, Cymbidieae, Maxillariinae, matK, ycf1, phylogenetics, Camaridium, Maxillaria cacaoensis, Vargasiella Cymbidieae include many of the showiest align nrITS sequences across the entire tribe was Neotropical epiphytic orchids and an unparalleled unrealistic due to high levels of sequence divergence, diversity in floral rewards and pollination systems. and instead to concentrate our efforts on assembling Many researchers have posed questions such as a larger plastid data set based on two regions (matK “How many times and when has male euglossine and ycf1) that are among the most variable plastid bee pollination evolved?”(Ramírez et al. 2011), or exon regions and can be aligned with minimal “How many times have oil-reward flowers evolved?” ambiguity across broad taxonomic spans. -

Capítulo 4. Biodiversidad
Biodiversidad El cambio climático global y la pérdida de la biodiversidad son dos de los problemas ambientales más importantes que enfrenta la humanidad hoy día. La expansión e intensificación de las actividades humanas desde mediados del siglo pasado han cambiado radicalmente el funcionamiento en muchos ecosistemas en diversas regiones del mundo e, incluso, han alterado los patrones de biodiversidad a nivel local y regional. En algunos casos, estos cambios han provocado la extinción de muchas especies. Estimaciones sugieren que la tasa actual de extinción de especies a nivel mundial podría ser entre 10 y 1 000 veces mayor a la registrada con anterioridad a la presencia humana (Pimm et al., 1995). No obstante, los grandes esfuerzos que se han hecho en las últimas dos décadas a nivel internacional para conservar y utilizar sustentablemente la biodiversidad, han sido insuficientes para avanzar hacia el cumplimiento de las Metas de Aichi para la Diversidad Biológica (SCBD, 2014). De no haber cambios importantes, los pronósticos basados en la proyección de las tendencias actuales de los factores de presión más importantes, sugieren que la pérdida de la riqueza biológica global podría continuar cuando menos hasta el año 2020 (SCDB, 2010). Los efectos de la pérdida de la biodiversidad no se restringen al aspecto ambiental. Es ampliamente reconocido que el bienestar social y el desarrollo económico de las naciones, y en particular el de los países en desarrollo y el de las comunidades más vulnerables, están fincados en la continuidad de los servicios ambientales que brindan los ecosistemas y su biodiversidad (MEA, 2005). Para muchos países, incluido México, la pérdida de biodiversidad cobra mayor relevancia debido a que es considerado como uno de los centros de diversidad biológica más importantes del planeta, de hecho, forma parte del grupo de los 15 países megadiversos que concentran en conjunto entre el 60 y 70% de la biodiversidad global (Mittermeier et al., 1997; UNEP 2010). -
Pollinator Specificity and Seasonal Patterns in the Euglossine Bee-Orchid Mutualism at La Gamba Biological Station
Acta ZooBot Austria 156, 2019, 171–181 Pollinator specificity and seasonal patterns in the euglossine bee-orchid mutualism at La Gamba Biological Station Santiago R. Ramirez The plant family Orchidaceae exhibits some of the most spectacular and intricate ad- aptations for insect pollination. Across the Neotropical region male euglossine bees provide pollination services to approx. 700 orchid species that have evolved scent pro- duction in exchange for sexual reproduction. Male orchid bees collect scents from flowers and other sources to concoct perfume mixtures that they use as pheromone analogs during courtship display. Although the pollination biology of some of these associations has been studied in detail for some orchid taxa, community-wide analyses of this mutualism are lacking. Here I present an analysis of the plant-pollinator affilia- tion patterns and phenology among scent-producing orchids and male euglossine bees based on 960 bee-orchid interactions obtained over the course of five years of sampling at La Gamba Biological Station (south-western Costa Rica). I identify a highly nested plant-pollinator network that is composed of 24 bee species and 17 orchid genera. Some orchid genera exhibit pronounced flowering seasonality, with most of the diver- sity of interactions taking place during the dry season (March-April) and few orchid taxa blooming throughout the year. The architecture of the plant-pollinator network also revealed a substantial degree of pollinator sharing among orchid genera, suggest- ing that distantly related lineages independently converged on the use of similar pol- linator bee assemblages.

The bootstrap (>50%) consensus trees of the MP analyses of each separate dataset differed in the degree of resolution and overall clade support, but there were no contradicting groups with strong bootstrap support. MP and BI combined analyses recovered similar relationships, with the notable exception of the BI analysis not resolving section Mormodes as monophy- letic. However, sections Coryodes and Mormodes were strongly and weakly supported as monophyletic by the MP analysis, respectively, and each has diagnostic morphological characters and different geographical distribution. -
Epilist 1.0: a Global Checklist of Vascular Epiphytes
Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2021 EpiList 1.0: a global checklist of vascular epiphytes Zotz, Gerhard ; Weigelt, Patrick ; Kessler, Michael ; Kreft, Holger ; Taylor, Amanda Abstract: Epiphytes make up roughly 10% of all vascular plant species globally and play important functional roles, especially in tropical forests. However, to date, there is no comprehensive list of vas- cular epiphyte species. Here, we present EpiList 1.0, the first global list of vascular epiphytes based on standardized definitions and taxonomy. We include obligate epiphytes, facultative epiphytes, and hemiepiphytes, as the latter share the vulnerable epiphytic stage as juveniles. Based on 978 references, the checklist includes >31,000 species of 79 plant families. Species names were standardized against World Flora Online for seed plants and against the World Ferns database for lycophytes and ferns. In cases of species missing from these databases, we used other databases (mostly World Checklist of Selected Plant Families). For all species, author names and IDs for World Flora Online entries are provided to facilitate the alignment with other plant databases, and to avoid ambiguities. EpiList 1.0 will be a rich source for synthetic studies in ecology, biogeography, and evolutionary biology as it offers, for the first time, a species‐level overview over all currently known vascular epiphytes. At the same time, the list represents work in progress: species descriptions of epiphytic taxa are ongoing and published life form information in floristic inventories and trait and distribution databases is often incomplete and sometimes evenwrong. -

THE GENUS CORYANTHES: A PARADIGM IN ECOLOGY GÜNTER GERLACH Botanischer Garten München-Nymphenburg, Menzinger Str. 65, D-80638 München, Germany [email protected] ABSTRACT. Since Darwin, the pollination biology of Coryanthes has fascinated naturalists, but other aspects of its biology are equally interesting. Herman Crüger, Director of the Trinidad Botanical Gardens, first described the pollination process in 1864. He talked about the strong attraction of the floral scent to some kind of Hymenopteran, but the true nature of the reward was not discovered until 100 years later by Dodson and Vogel. Coryanthes species grow exclusively in so-called antgardens. These arboreal communities can reach diameters of 150 cm with the ant nest comprising 80 cm. Both organisms share a destiny because the plant is condemned to death if the associated ant colony dies. The plants offer nectar in extrafloral nectaries and provide a framework for nest construction with their root system, while the ants defend the plants against herbivores and additionally fertilize them with vertebrate feces.
