Loss of Pathogens in Threatened Plant Species

Hood ([email protected]), Dept of Biology, McGuire Life Sciences Building, Amherst College, Rts 9 and 116, Amherst, MA 01002-5000, USA. Global declines in biodiversity create an urgent need to address the impact of infectious disease in the small and fragmented populations that characterize threatened species. However, the paucity of empirical data provides little ability to pre- dict whether disease generally accelerates threatened species towards extinction or becomes less important as populations decline. Th is study tests whether plant species threatened with extinction exhibit lower disease frequencies and lower over- all parasite species richness while also experimentally testing for the eff ect of physiological disease resistance. Herbarium surveys of the genus Silene revealed that anther-smut disease was signifi cantly less frequent in threatened species than non-threatened species, and this eff ect was not constrained by the host phylogeny or by physiological resistance. Moreover, analysis across a much broader range of plants (using US Federal designations) revealed that species with endangered status had signifi cantly lower species richness of fungal pathogens than closely-related, non-endangered species. Th ese results support the role of host ecology, rather than physiological resistance or phylogeny, in determining overall lower incidences and diversity of diseases in plant species threatened by extinction.

El entorno del estrecho de Gibraltar se presenta como una de las áreas con mayor endemicidad de la Cuenca Mediterránea puesto que los sucesivos avances y retrocesos del mar (Mioceno-Plioceno) produjeron un aislamiento geográfico en los territorios interiores de los continentes europeo y africano. En base a perfiles proteicos de semillas y a secuencias de ADN nuclear ribosómico (regiones espaciadoras internas) se hace un estudio de las especies de Silene sect. Siphonomorpha Otth. del Sur de la Península Ibérica. Como resultado se establece un paralelismo entre las diferencias génicas y morfológicas de Silene tomentosa Otth., S. andryalifolia Pomel y S. gazulensis Galán de Mera et al.

The area around the Strait of Gibraltar has one of the highest endemicity rates in the Mediterranean Basin, because of the sea level variations in the Miocene-Pliocene, responsible for the geographical isolation of the inside territories of the European and the African continents.

Its strategic location and prominence have attracted the attention of many civilisations, past and present, giving rise to the rich history and popularity of ‘The Rock’. In addition to its geographical importance, Gibraltar is just as impressive from a naturalist’s perspective. It boasts many terrestrial and marine species, most of which are protected under the Nature Protection Act 1991, Gibraltar’s pioneering nature conservation legislation. Gibraltar’s climate is Mediterranean, with mild, sometimes wet winters and warm, dry summers. Its terrain includes a narrow coastal lowland to the west, bordering the 426 metre high Rock of Gibraltar. With a terrestrial area of 6.53 km2 and territorial waters extending up to three nautical miles to the east and south and up to the median line in the Bay of Gibraltar, it is of no surprise that Gibraltar’s biological resources are inevitably limited.

Taxonomy and Conservation in Higher Plants and Bryophytes in the Mediterranean Area
Biodiversity Journal , 2015, 6 (1): 197–204 MONOGRAPH Taxonomy and conservation in Higher Plants and Bryophytes in the Mediterranean Area Gianniantonio Domina *, Giuseppe Bazan, Patrizia Campisi & Werner Greuter Orto botanico ed Herbarium Mediterraneum dell’Università di Palermo, via Lincoln 2, 90133 Palermo, Italy *Corresponding author ABSTRACT The Mediterranean Region is among the areas of the world richest in wild and cultivated taxa. Extinctions in the Mediterranean area are bound to have occurred in historical times but they are not documented. The probable and documented cases of plant extinction in specific areas within the Mediterranean are equivalent to 0.25% of total species-by-area records. Species with a large range are more prone to local population size fluctuations and eventual extinction than species with a reduced population. Small islands floras are more prone to extinction than those on large islands and on the mainland. Reliability of our data on Mediterranean plant ex - tinctions is poor. New emphasis on floristic research is needed to boost our deficient knowledge of the Mediterranean flora. A closer collaboration between scholars and amateurs can increase floristic knowledge and also help unravel taxonomic problems. KEY WORDS vascular plants; mosses; extinctions; nomenclature.

Ljibraltar's Flora in a European Context
Ponencia de Inauguración LJIBRALTAR'S FLORA IN A EUROPEAN CONTEXT J. R. Akeroyd / Catedrático de Biología en la Universidad de Dublín. L ZI Abstract. i Europe is topographically and ecologically diverse, with aflora estimated at 12.000 species offlowering plants, 1 gymnosperms and fems. Publications on the European flora are also diverse in choice of fomat, taxonomy and language, although a regional synthesis is available in Flora Europaea 1-5 (1964-80),together with a second edition of volume 1 (1993).Much research remains to be carried out, notably the investigation of taxonomicproblems raised , in Flora Eurouaea and regional Floras, continued exploration offloristically rich areas of southem Europe and the 1 elucidation of intraspecific variation, especially where species belong to genera or families that are of economic importance. The detailedfloristic study of un area such as Gibraltar and the Campo de Gibraltar enables )hese sort of problems to be investigated thoroughly within a small area but with referente to the wider European pictuh The vegetation and flora of Gibraltar and the Campo de Gibraltar are of considerable phytogeographical interest. Gibraltar lies within the Andalucian region, which hasan endemicflora of global significance.Despite thesmall size and urbanization of its territory, Gibraltar'sflora is itselfrich and contains a number of taxa endemic to the Rock or its environs or at their only European station. The status of these is being assessed and other native and alien taxa are still being recorded new to theflora. The establishment of the Gibraltar Botanic Gardens is ahopportunity to establish un integrated in situ and ex situ consewation strategy for theflora of the Rock and the Campo de Gibraltar, providing a model for similar ecosystems elsewhere in the Mediterranean region.
