    The Journal of Caribbean Ornithology RESEARCH ARTICLE Vol. 29:21–27. 2016 Avian biodiversity in a pasture-dominated ecosystem Jason P. Hernandez Photo: J.P. Hernandez The Journal of Caribbean Ornithology www.birdscaribbean.org/jco ISSN 1544-4953 RESEARCH ARTICLE Vol. 29:21–27. 2016 www.birdscaribbean.org Avian biodiversity in a pasture-dominated ecosystem Jason P. Hernandez Abstract Burgeoning human populations have created many challenges for conservation of biodiversity, as ever-larger areas of land are converted to agricultural and other forms of production. Protected reserves alone are not sufficient to sustain biodiversity in a world of increasing human needs, so it is necessary to understand the extent to which biodiversity can exist with- in highly altered, agricultural ecosystems. From 11 May to 8 August 2013, bird diversity was surveyed at an agricultural site on Hispaniola, utilized mainly for pasture, and the population and regeneration potential of the royal palm (Roystonea borinquena), a key nest tree species for two abundant bird species, was assessed. The site harbored 33 bird species including 32 resident species (about one-third of Hispaniola’s low-elevation resident land bird species), of which 5 are endemic to Hispaniola. Two of these endemic species, the Palmchat (Dulus dominicus) and the Hispaniolan Woodpecker (Melanerpes striatus), were the pre- dominant species present. Seventy-six percent of species at this site showed an association with trees. The royal palm occurred mainly in wooded riparian corridors, but showed little ability to colonize pastures, suggesting possible declines in future overall tree density at this site. Ensuring adequate tree recruitment is crucial to maintaining biodiversity in agricultural and grazing zones.

A VICTORIAN PALM COURT INTRODUCTION Palms comprise a very useful plant family, second only in economic importance to the grasses which supply us with wheat, rice, barley, oats, and other grains. Palms provide the world with food (dates, coconuts, palm oil, hearts of palm), beverages (coconut milk, palm wine), clothing (raincoats, hats), medicines (betel nut), construction materials (thatching, irrigation pipes, logs), rope, fiber, carnauba wax, and hundreds of other products.

  • Evolutionary Consequences of Dioecy in Angiosperms: the Effects of Breeding System on Speciation and Extinction Rates

The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada http://www.library.ubc.ca/spcoll/thesauth.html ABSTRACT Dioecy, the breeding system with male and female function on separate individuals, may affect the ability of a lineage to avoid extinction or speciate. Dioecy is a rare breeding system among the angiosperms (approximately 6% of all flowering plants) while hermaphroditism (having male and female function present within each flower) is predominant. Dioecious angiosperms may be rare because the transitions to dioecy have been recent or because dioecious angiosperms experience decreased diversification rates (speciation minus extinction) compared to plants with other breeding systems.

  • A Preliminary List of the Vascular Plants and Wildlife at the Village Of
    A Floristic Evaluation of the Natural Plant Communities and Grounds Occurring at The Key West Botanical Garden, Stock Island, Monroe County, Florida Steven W. Woodmansee [email protected] January 20, 2006 Submitted by The Institute for Regional Conservation 22601 S.W. 152 Avenue, Miami, Florida 33170 George D. Gann, Executive Director Submitted to CarolAnn Sharkey Key West Botanical Garden 5210 College Road Key West, Florida 33040 and Kate Marks Heritage Preservation 1012 14th Street, NW, Suite 1200 Washington DC 20005 Introduction The Key West Botanical Garden (KWBG) is located at 5210 College Road on Stock Island, Monroe County, Florida. It is a 7.5 acre conservation area, owned by the City of Key West. The KWBG requested that The Institute for Regional Conservation (IRC) conduct a floristic evaluation of its natural areas and grounds and to provide recommendations. Study Design On August 9-10, 2005 an inventory of all vascular plants was conducted at the KWBG. All areas of the KWBG were visited, including the newly acquired property to the south. Special attention was paid toward the remnant natural habitats. A preliminary plant list was established. Plant taxonomy generally follows Wunderlin (1998) and Bailey et al. (1976). Results Five distinct habitats were recorded for the KWBG. Two of which are human altered and are artificial being classified as developed upland and modified wetland. In addition, three natural habitats are found at the KWBG. They are coastal berm (here termed buttonwood hammock), rockland hammock, and tidal swamp habitats. Developed and Modified Habitats Garden and Developed Upland Areas The developed upland portions include the maintained garden areas as well as the cleared parking areas, building edges, and paths.
