Programme and Book of Abstracts PROGRAM 12TH REUNION ON ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OF ALIEN PLANT INVASIONS 22-26 September, 2013 Pirenópolis, Goiás, Brazil. WELCOME LETTER It is our great pleasure to welcome you in the 12th Reunion on Ecology and Management of Alien Plant Invasions (EMAPi), held on 22-26 September, 2013 at the Pousada dos Pirenéus, Pirenópolis, Goiás, Brazil. We are confident that all participants in this meeting will be satisfied with the scientific program, field excursion and social program. We also hope that all participants will return to their institutes or places of origin with new ideas and new contacts, both national and international. We wish you a productive and memorable experience during your attendance of EMAPi 12, including the discovery of new friends and your enjoyment of Brazilian culture, hospitality and cuisine.

In Accepted 1 August 2008 particular, an important relict flora, a high endemism, and the dominance of vegetation types other than the paradigmatic Mediterranean-type sclerophyllous forests and shrublands, are biogeographical features of paramount relevance. These singular environments may have provided suitable mesic habitats for stable human populations in this region throughout the Quaternary. Here we explore the possible causes of the unique biodiversity of this region. First, we show that endemism is associated with poor soils and mild Mediterranean climate, whereas relictness is primarily associated with riparian and humid habitats which might have remained relatively stable since the Late Tertiary.

The study indicated that R. capitata is a prostrate, climbing herb and winter season bloomer. It is hermaphroditic, self-compatible and facultatively xenogamous which is essentially vector-dependent. The flowers are papilionaceous with zygomorphic symmetry and exhibit explosive pollination mechanism associated with primary pollen presentation pattern.

  • Pollination Ecology of Rhynchosia Minima (L.) DC. (Fabaceae)In The
    ECOLOGIA BALKANICA 2019, Vol. 11, Issue 1 June 2019 pp. 108-126 Pollination Ecology of Rhynchosia minima (L.) DC. (Fabaceae) in the Southern Eastern Ghats, Andhra Pradesh, India A.J. Solomon Raju1*, K. Venkata Ramana2 Andhra University, Visakhapatnam 530 003, INDIA 1 - Department of Environmental Sciences 2 - Department of Botany *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract. Rhynchosia minima is prostrate climbing herb. In India it flowers during September-March with peak flowering during January. The flowers are hermaphroditic, nectariferous, self-compatible and have explosive pollination mechanism adapted for pollination by bees. They do not fruit through autonomous selfing but fruit through manipulated selfing, geitonogamy and xenogamy mediated by pollen vectoring bees. The flowers not visited by bees fall off while those visited and pollinated by them set fruit. Seed dispersal occurs by explosive pod dehiscence. Perennial root stock resurrects back to life during rainy season. Seeds also germinate at the same time but their continued growth is subject to the availability of soil moisture content. Therefore, R. minima expands its population size and succeeds as a weed in water-saturated habitats only. The plant is used as medicine, animal forage and human food and hence it has the potential for exploitation commercially. Key words: economic value, explosive pod dehiscence, explosive pollination mechanism, hermaphroditism, melittophily, Rhynchosia minima. Introduction suaveolens and R. viscosa. These species are Rhynchosia is a genus of the legume either climbers or shrubs (MADHAVA CHETTY family fabaceae, tribe phaseoleae and et al., 2008). Of these, R. minima is a subtribe cajaninae (LACKEY, 1981; pantropical species but it is thought to be JAYASURIYA, 2014).

PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN TRIBE GENISTEAE (PAPILIONOIDEAE) WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO GENUS ULEX ABDELKADER AINOUCHE*1, RANDALL J. BAYER2, PALOMA CUBAS3, AND MARIE-THÉRÈSE MISSET1 1Laboratoire de Botanique, UMR CNRS Ecobio 6553, Université de Rennes-1, Rennes FR-35042 France 2CSIRO, Plant Ind., Molecular Systematics Lab, Australian National Herbarium, Canberra, Australia 3Departamento de Biologia Vegetal II, Facultad de Farmacia, Universidad Complutense, 28040 Madrid, Spain Abstract Molecular evidence presented here, from the literature and from this study, provide new insights into the systematics of the Genisteae s.s. Within this tribe, the evolutionary history of Ulex is investigated using phylogenetic analyses of two non- coding nuclear (ITS nrDNA) and plastid (trnL-trnF) sequences. Ulex represents a natural group, which is derived from within the Genista-Cytisus complex. A close relationship between Ulex and Stauracanthus is strongly supported by molecular data. Ulex appears to have evolved into two main lineages, which arose from a common diploid ancestor. One is represented by a single extant diploid species, U. micranthus, which is endemic in central Portugal. The second group includes all the remaining Euro-African diploid and polyploid taxa. The lack of resolution among the latter and their very weak molecular divergence are suggestive of a recent and rapid diversification of the gorses. The trnL-trnF sequence data also support Lupinus as a monophyletic group within Genisteae, that is distinct from the Cytisus- Genista complex.

  • A Search in Spain and Portugal for Potential Biocontrol Agents for Gorse ( Ulex Europaeus Europaeus L.) in Hawai‘I
    A Search in Spain and Portugal for Potential Biocontrol Agents for Gorse ( Ulex europaeus europaeus L.) in Hawai‘i A contracted research project for Parker Ranch Inc., Hawaii, USA Conducted by CSIRO Entomology Compiled by the Principal Scientist Dr. Andy Sheppard CSIRO Entomology Executive Summary In line with reporting at the end of this contracted research project, this is the final report on the suitability of each species as a potential control agent for gorse, Ulex europaeus europaeus L. in Hawaii. The two aims of this project were to survey the native evolutionary centre of origin of Ulex for autumn active insects that reduce seed production in autumn developed pods and to look for autumn active root boring insects as potential biological control agents for gorse in Hawaii. There were very low levels of pod production by gorse during the autumn flowering period of 2003, despite a preceding hot summer that should have provided the conditions for strong early flower bud development. Gorse pods that clearly developed and matured during this period (classed as brown pods) only generated a potential of 0-300 seeds per mature plant in autumn and suffered only 0.1% seed losses to the apionid seed weevil Exapion and 7% seed loss to pod moths of the genus Cydia . It was concluded that insect activity on gorse pods in autumn in the native range is not high enough to expect there to be any autumn specific insects available as potential biological control agents for gorse in Hawaii and indeed none were successfully reared out. Most root feeding insect activity found appeared to be from insects active at different times of the year, suggesting further surveys for root feeding insects should take place in spring-summer.
