  • The Discovery of Drosera Magnifica, the “Facebook Sundew”
    Deep in the web, up in the hills: the discovery of Drosera magnifica, the “Facebook sundew” Paulo Minatel Gonella • Lab. Sistemática Vegetal • Instituto de Biociências • Universidade de São Paulo • Brazil • [email protected] Social media are part of the daily life in the modern society: we follow the news on Twitter, share funny gifs on Tumblr, post selfies on Facebook, spread scientific papers on ResearchGate, and share experiences and trade plants in the discussion forums. Among all possible connections achieved by the social media, one that has always captivated me is the bridge they created to connect professional biologists to “citizen scientists”. From the age of the forums to Facebook, I’ve been fol- lowing with keen interest posts with photos of carnivorous plants in their natural habitats in Brazil and abroad, and many new regional records were found that way, and even species discoveries and re-discoveries. The long-lost Drosera ascendens A.St.-Hil. was rediscovered thanks to social media, as it was the discovery of the peculiar D. chimaera Gonella & Rivadavia. Both findings were made possible thanks to photos posted by the carnivorous plant enthusiast Adilson Peres in the Brazilian carnivo- rous plant forum back in 2010. His photos and the information he provided on the location of his encounters enabled us to collect and study these plants, and finally solve the taxonomy of the group (see Gonella et al. 2014). Cases of discoveries of new species thanks to social media are not restrict- ed to carnivorous plants, though. The enormous palm Tahina spectabilis J.Dransf.

  • A Laid-Back Trip Through the Hennigian Forests
    A laid-back trip through the Hennigian Forests Evgeny V. Mavrodiev1, Christopher Dell1,* and Laura Schroder2,3,* 1 University of Florida, Florida Museum of Natural History, Gainesville, FL, USA 2 Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology of University of Tennessee, University of Tennessee Health Science Center Washington, Memphis, TN, USA 3 Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho Medical Education Program, University of Idaho, Moscow, ID, USA * These authors contributed equally to this work. ABSTRACT Background. This paper is a comment on the idea of matrix-free Cladistics. Demon- stration of this idea's efficiency is a major goal of the study. Within the proposed framework, the ordinary (phenetic) matrix is necessary only as ``source'' of Hennigian trees, not as a primary subject of the analysis. Switching from the matrix-based thinking to the matrix-free Cladistic approach clearly reveals that optimizations of the character-state changes are related not to the real processes, but to the form of the data representation. Methods. We focused our study on the binary data. We wrote the simple ruby-based script FORESTER version 1.0 that helps represent a binary matrix as an array of the rooted trees (as a ``Hennigian forest''). The binary representations of the genomic (DNA) data have been made by script 1001. The Average Consensus method as well as the standard Maximum Parsimony (MP) approach has been used to analyze the data. Principle findings. The binary matrix may be easily re-written as a set of rooted trees (maximal relationships). The latter might be analyzed by the Average Consensus method. Paradoxically, this method, if applied to the Hennigian forests, in principle can help to identify clades despite the absence of the direct evidence from the primary data.

  • Botanic Garden News
    Spring 2008 Page 1 Botanic Garden News The Botanic Garden Volume 11, No. 1 of Smith College Spring 2008 Who Knew Woods of the World Would Woo? Michael Marcotrigiano A few years ago I heard a young couple having a mild spat outside my office. The woman was so impressed with the cork floors in the hallway that she suggested installing something similar in their kitchen. The man laughed it off, claiming that you cannot make durable floors from cork. Well, our floor covering is actually cork and very durable. As I thought about how to turn this tiff into an educational opportunity, I came up with the idea for an interpretive panel, “What Is Cork?” Later that night I thought, why not install an entire permanent exhibit on woods, and why not woods from around the world? I knew that our staff, already overworked, would not be able to put such an ambitious display together so we turned to our Friends. After consulting with the Friends of the Botanic Garden Advisory Committee, we hired Polly Ryan, a former technical assistant from my days at the University of Massachusetts, to act as Special Projects Coordinator. Two years later the installation is complete and it is wooing our visitors. It appears that man, woman, and child are stopped in their tracks by the natural beauty and want to know which wood comes from which tree. Polly was AC ’08 Dods Pamela by Photograph able to come up with 178 unique woods from all parts of the Woods of the World in Lyman Plant House hallway globe, which are now artfully hanging from walls and ceiling near the north entrance of Lyman Plant House.
