    Juvenile Resilience and Adult Longevity Explain Residual Populations of the Andean Wax Palm Ceroxylon Quindiuense After Deforestation

    Juvenile Resilience and Adult Longevity Explain Residual Populations of the Andean Wax Palm Ceroxylon quindiuense after Deforestation María José Sanín1*, Fabien Anthelme2,3, Jean-Christophe Pintaud3, Gloria Galeano1, Rodrigo Bernal1 1 Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá, Distrito Capital, Colombia, 2 Botanique et Bioinformatique de l’Architecture des Plantes, Recherche Agronomique pour Le Développement, Institut de recherche pour le développement, Montpellier, Hérault, France, 3 Botanique et Bioinformatique de l’Architecture des Plantes and Diversité Adaptation et Développement des plantes, Institut de recherche pour le développement, Montpellier, Hérault, France Abstract Wax palms are an important element of the cloud forests in the tropical Andes. Despite heavy deforestation, the density of adults seems to be similar in deforested pastures as in forests. We aimed to infer the mechanisms responsible for this apparent resilience in pastures and we tested two hypotheses to explain it: 1) adult palms survived in pastures because they were spared from logging, and 2) adults occurred in pastures through the resilience of large juvenile rosettes, which survived through subterranean meristems and later developed into adults. For this purpose, we characterized the demographic structure of C. quindiuense in a total of 122 plots of 400 m2 in forests and pastures at two sites with contrasted land use histories in Colombia and Peru. Additionally, we implemented growth models that allowed us to estimate the age of individuals at four sites. These data were combined with information collected from local land managers in order to complete our knowledge on the land use history at each site. At two sites, the presence of old individuals up to 169 years and a wide age range evidenced that, at least, a portion of current adults in pastures were spared from logging at the time of deforestation.

  • New Tradition for the Catholic Church Saves Palms and Parrots

    New Tradition for the Catholic Church Saves Palms and Parrots

    New Tradition for the Catholic Church saves Palms and Parrots By PAUL SALAMAN Wax Palms (Ceroxylon quindiuense) - the world's tallest palm and an endangered species - are massacred each Easter to provide palm fronds for the Palm Sunday processions and used to adorn churches throughout the Colombian Andes (See Paul Salaman. PsittaScene Feb 2002, No 50). Unfortunately, the Critically Endangered Yellow-eared Parrot (Ognorhynchus icterotis) is dependent on the wax palm for nesting and roosting, so the parrot’s survival is inextricably linked to the plight of the wax palm. So our euphoria at discovering a population of Yellow-eared Parrots in western Colombia last year was short-lived as our worst nightmares were realised when thousands of people waved wax palm fronds to church on a glorious Palm Sunday morning in 2001. As there are less than a thousand wax palms sites uncovered revealing the total population at wax palm frond could be found in the procession scattered across the parrot’s range in the Western a staggering 277 individuals - two thirds of the of 5,000 people! A triumph for the wax palm, for Andes, their survival and that of the palm global population! Clearly, much was at stake on the Yellow-eared Parrot and for the Catholic appeared depressingly remote. The Fundación Palm Sunday in protecting the Yellow-eared Church, plus 600 new palm recruits in the town ProAves - Colombia team, that operates Project Parrots’ stronghold. from the seedlings and many more planted in the Ognorhynchus - knew we had to act quickly and countryside. Palm Sunday this year was a fine effectively to avoid the impending catastrophe Yet, as we approached Palm Sunday in March day to celebrate! 2002, one final daunting obstacle seemed for both species.

In nature, orchid seed germination is obligatory following infection by mycorrhizal fungi, which supplies the developing embryo with water, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, causing the seeds to germinate relatively slowly and at a low germination rate. ,e nonsymbiotic germination of orchid seeds found in 1922 is applicable to in vitro propagation. ,e success of seed germination in vitro is influenced by supplementation with organic compounds. Here, we review the scientific literature in terms of the contents and role of organic supplements in promoting seed germination, protocorm development, and seedling growth in orchids. We systematically collected information from scientific literature databases including Scopus, Google Scholar, and ProQuest, as well as published books and conference proceedings. Various organic compounds, i.e., coconut water (CW), peptone (P), banana homogenate (BH), potato homogenate (PH), chitosan (CHT), tomato juice (TJ), and yeast extract (YE), can promote seed germination and growth and development of various orchids.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Understanding the phenology of plant populations is vital for their conservation and management. We studied the vegetative and reproductive phenology of the endangered palm Ceroxylon quindiuense along an altitudinal gradient in the Central Cordillera of Colombia. Objective: We describe the leaf production rate, and flowering and fruiting cycles, and calculate food offer for the fauna, as a tool for the proper management of the palm. Methods: At each sampling site (2 400, 2 600, 2 800, 3 000 m.a.s.l.), we marked 40 adult individuals (20 pistillate, 20 staminate), which we followed bimonthly for 24 months.

    Inter-American Division Fast Facts and Mission Posts Second Quarter 2021 Colombia 1. The Seventh-day Adventist Church in Colombia is comprised of the North Colombian Union Conference and the South Colombian Union Conference. There are 1,758 churches, 889 companies, and 286,131 members. In a population of 50,374,000, there is one member for every 176 people in Colombia. 2. In 1894, Frank C. Kelley went from the United States to Bogota as a self-supporting missionary, paying his expenses by teaching English and selling photographic goods. He went back to the U.S. for a time, married, and then returned to Colombia, but his wife’s health required their return to the U.S. in 1899. The Kelleys returned to Colombia in December 1920, where they worked for two and a half years before permanently returning in 1923. 3. In the early nineteenth century, Adventists went to the islands of San Andres and Providencia, which belong to Colombia but are located north of Panama. In 1901, S. Parker Smith (son of Uriah Smith) and his wife opened a school on San Andres. In 1908, Smith wrote in the Review and Herald that there was a church of 19 members on San Andres and a larger one on Providencia, and that Adventist work was carried largely through the school on the islands. During 1916 and 1917, several colporteurs entered mainland Colombia. 4. About 90% of Colombians are Christian, mostly Roman Catholic (71%–79%), with a significant minority of Protestants (17%). The rest of the population is atheist or agnostic or claim to believe in God but do not follow a specific religion, and a fraction of a percent adhere to non-Christian religions.

    DIVERSITY OF ORCHID SPECIES IN GUANACAS RESERVE, ANTIOQUIA - COLOMBIA Progress Report No. 1 to the Conservation Committee of the American Orchid Society (Project funding from AOS) Dino J. Tuberquia M. Biologist Santiago Cardona Biology student Esteban Dominguez Biology student Fundación Guanacas Bosques de Niebla October 2019 Medellin - Colombia PRESENTATION The preliminary results of the orchideological exploration carried out in the Guanacas reserve, municipality of Santa Rosa de Osos, funded by the Conservation Committee of the American Orchid Society are presented in this report. A first four-day field trip was made during the month of September 2019, in which 50 morphospecies of orchids, belonging to 15 genera, were collected. The material was herbalized and is in the process of identification. The preliminary list of species and photographic file is presented. INTRODUCTION Orchids, without a doubt, constitute not only the group of flowering plants (angiosperms) with the largest number of species in the world, but also one of the most charismatic of the plant kingdom. The particular shapes and attractive colors of its flowers have historically attracted the attention of naturalists, horticulturists, taxonomists, artists, and society in general, which recreates in them, the greatest inspiration that nature could express in a flower. Even for the most profane in the knowledge of plants, the concept of orchid is synonymous with high expression of beauty, design and color. Orchids, like no other flower, have touched the most intimate fiber of sensitivity of human beings, thus becoming a natural reference to admire and contemplate in the plant world. Orchids are part of the flora in almost all the terrestrial ecosystems of the world, and Colombia, due to its geographical position and geological particularities, has been privileged as the representativeness of species of this group, positioning itself between the first two countries, jointly with Ecuador, with greater wealth of orchids in the world (Minambiente and U.

Published: 30 November 2020 Abstract: During the reproductive transition in flowering plants a vegetative apical meristem (SAM) transforms into an inflorescence meristem (IM) that forms bracts and flowers. In grasses, like rice, a Genetic Regulatory Network (GRN) controlling reproductive transitions has been identified. It includes the integration of promoters and repressors from different gene lineages with active duplication events during angiosperm diversification. With the objective to understand the evolution and expression of flowering GRN in Orchidaceae, we performed comprehensive phylogenetic analyses of all genes from the flowering GRN and analyzed by RT-PCR the expression of targeted homologs in key developmental stages. Our ML results indicate that FT/TFL1, FD, FLC/FUL, SOC1 and AGL24/SVP gene lineages have been subject to multiple duplications in monocots as well as in Orchidaceae. Conversely, FLC genes are lost in Orchidaceae, suggesting major changes in the repression of flowering.
