  • Bibliographical References on the Bryophyte Flora of the Canary Islands (1740-2006)

    Bibliographical References on the Bryophyte Flora of the Canary Islands (1740-2006)

    References on bryophytes from the Canary Islands 1 Bibliographical references on the bryophyte flora of the Canary Islands (1740-2006) A. Losada-Lima1, S. Rodríguez-Núñez1 & G.M. Dirkse2 1 Corresponding author: [email protected] 2 [email protected] Abstract: A compilation of 427 bibliographical references on bryophytes from Canary Islands is presented. In order to include all the information dealing with Canarian bryoflora, we have listed all references that record any data on this subject. Introduction The literature about the bryophytes of the Canary Islands is dispersed in reports, journals and books. From the XVIII century onwards, numerous works on bryophytes from the Canary Islands have been published by travelers, scientists, naturalists and botanists. Many authors have reported about bryophytes collected by them. Some specialists reported about material which was sent to them by amateurs for identification. The interest in the bryophyte flora of the Canary Islands has lead to numerous descriptions of new taxa. The objective of this work is to provide an up to date bibliography of taxonomic, geographic, ecological, phylogenetic books, papers, reports, and other printings concerning bryophytes of the Canary Islands. Incorporated are publications in which bryophytes are mentioned in connection with the Canary Islands. In all, 427 references are listed, of which slightly more than 25% has its focus on bryophytes from the Canary Islands. Although the literature was extensively searched and the list was carefully compiled, errors or omissions may occur. Corrections, additions, as well as new references are welcomed by the corresponding author. ARCHIVE FOR BRYOLOGY 24 (2007) 2 Losada-Lima, Rodríguez-Núñez & Dirkse List of references Ade, A.

  • About the Book the Format Acknowledgments

    About the Book the Format Acknowledgments

    About the Book For more than ten years I have been working on a book on bryophyte ecology and was joined by Heinjo During, who has been very helpful in critiquing multiple versions of the chapters. But as the book progressed, the field of bryophyte ecology progressed faster. No chapter ever seemed to stay finished, hence the decision to publish online. Furthermore, rather than being a textbook, it is evolving into an encyclopedia that would be at least three volumes. Having reached the age when I could retire whenever I wanted to, I no longer needed be so concerned with the publish or perish paradigm. In keeping with the sharing nature of bryologists, and the need to educate the non-bryologists about the nature and role of bryophytes in the ecosystem, it seemed my personal goals could best be accomplished by publishing online. This has several advantages for me. I can choose the format I want, I can include lots of color images, and I can post chapters or parts of chapters as I complete them and update later if I find it important. Throughout the book I have posed questions. I have even attempt to offer hypotheses for many of these. It is my hope that these questions and hypotheses will inspire students of all ages to attempt to answer these. Some are simple and could even be done by elementary school children. Others are suitable for undergraduate projects. And some will take lifelong work or a large team of researchers around the world. Have fun with them! The Format The decision to publish Bryophyte Ecology as an ebook occurred after I had a publisher, and I am sure I have not thought of all the complexities of publishing as I complete things, rather than in the order of the planned organization.

This advice should therefore be read together with the SAC Conservation Objectives available here You should use the Conservation Objectives, this Supplementary Advice and any case-specific advice given by Natural England when developing, proposing or assessing an activity, plan or project that may affect this site. This Supplementary Advice to the Conservation Objectives presents attributes which are ecological characteristics of the designated species and habitats within a site. The listed attributes are considered to be those that best describe the site’s ecological integrity and which, if safeguarded, will enable achievement of the Conservation Objectives. Each attribute has a target which is either quantified or qualitative depending on the available evidence. The target identifies as far as possible the desired state to be achieved for the attribute. The tables provided below bring together the findings of the best available scientific evidence relating to the site’s qualifying features, which may be updated or supplemented in further publications from Natural England and other sources. The local evidence used in preparing this supplementary advice has been cited. The references to the national evidence used are available on request. Where evidence and references have not been indicated, Natural England has applied ecological knowledge and expert judgement.

O. Box 299, St. Louis, MO 63166–0299 U.S.A.; [email protected] Abstract A widely accessible list of known plant species is a fundamental requirement for plant conservation and has vast applications. An index of published names of liverworts and hornworts between 2009 and 2010 is provided as part of a continued effort in working toward producing a world checklist of this group. Included in the list are also names overlooked by earlier indices. The list includes 30 higher taxa, 250 species, 52 infraspecific taxa, 31 autonyms, and two fossils for 2009 and 2010. A number of taxa not covered by the earlier indices for 2000-2008 are also included. Key words: Liverworts, hornworts, index, nomenclature Introduction Under the auspices of the Early Land Plants Today project, there has been a strong community-driven effort attempting to address the critical need to synthesize the vast nomenclatural, taxonomic and global distributional data for liverworts (Marchantiophyta) and hornworts (Anthocerotophyta) (von Konrat et al. 2010a). These endeavours are critical in providing the foundation to develop a working checklist of liverworts and hornworts worldwide; the first version is projected to be published in 2012.

INTRODUCTION Pines Tip is a disused china clay tip near Fraddon, centred at Ordnance Survey National Grid Reference SW918570. Cleanearth Energy proposes to construct a solar farm on top of Pines Tip and in relation to this a targeted survey was commissioned to determine if any part of the affected area supports the legally protected liverwort Marsupella profunda (Western Rustwort). 2. MARSUPELLA PROFUNDA (WESTERN RUSTWORT) Marsupella profunda is a globally rare liverwort known only from Portugal (the Azores and Madeira), the Canary Islands and Cornwall. In the UK it is categorised within the national Red List as ‘Vulnerable’ (Hodgetts, 2011) and is recognised as a priority for biodiversity conservation in England under the Natural Environment and Rural Communities (NERC) Act 2006. It also receives full legal protection under Schedule 8 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) and is listed on Annex II of the EC Habitats Directive. Much of the British population is found within the Cornish china clay district near St. Austell, where it is characteristically an early colonist of crumbling granite rocks and boulders exposed by quarrying activity.
