C., Colombia; [email protected] (autor corresponsal). Abstract. Giraldo-Cañas, D. 2021. Malpighiaceae from Colombia: Patterns of distribution, richness, endemism, and phylogenetic diversity. Darwiniana, nueva serie 9(1): 39-54. Malpighiaceae constitutes a family of 77 genera and ca. 1300 species, distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of both hemispheres. They are mainly diversified in the American continent and distributed in a wide range of habitats and altitudinal gradients. For this reason, this family can be a model plant group to ecological and biogeographical analyses, as well as evolutive studies. In this context, an analysis of distribution, richness, endemism and phylogenetic diversity of Malpighiaceae in natural regions and their altitudinal gradients was undertaken. Malpighiaceae are represented in Colombia by 34 genera and 246 species (19.1% of endemism). Thus, Colombia and Brazil (44 genera, 584 species, 61% of endemism) are the two richest countries on species of this family. The highest species richness and endemism in Colombia is found in the lowlands (0-500 m a.s.l.: 212 species, 28 endemics); only ten species are distributed on highlands (2500-3200 m a.s.l.). Of the Malpighiaceae species in Colombia, Heteropterys leona and Stigmaphyllon bannisterioides have a disjunct amphi-Atlantic distribution, and six other species show intra-American disjunctions.

  • Vascular Flora of West Clear Creek Wilderness, Coconino and Yavapai
    VASCULAR FLORA OF WEST CLEAR CREEK WILDERNESS, COCONINO AND YAVAPAI COUNTIES, ARIZONA By Wendy C. McBride A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Biology Northern Arizona University May 2016 Approved: Tina J. Ayers, Ph.D., Chair Randall W. Scott, Ph.D. Liza M. Holeski, Ph.D. ABSTRACT VASCULAR FLORA OF WEST CLEAR CREEK WILDERNESS, COCONINO AND YAVAPAI COUNTIES, ARIZONA WENDY C. MCBRIDE West Clear Creek Wilderness bisects the Mogollon Rim in Arizona, and is nested between the Colorado Plateau and Basin and Range physiographic provinces. Between 2013 and 2016, a floristic inventory vouchered 542 taxa and reviewed 428 previous collections to produce a total plant inventory of 594 taxa from 93 families and 332 genera. The most species rich families Were Asteraceae, Poaceae, Fabaceae, Brassicaceae, Rosaceae, Plantaginaceae, Cyperaceae, and Polygonaceae. Carex, Erigeron, Bromus, Muhlenbergia, and Oenothera Were the most represented genera. Nonnative taxa accounted for seven percent of the total flora. Stachys albens was vouchered as a new state record for Arizona. New county records include Graptopetalum rusbyi (Coconino), Pseudognaphalium pringlei (Coconino), Phaseolus pedicellatus var. grayanus (Coconino), and Quercus rugosa (Coconino and Yavapai). This study quantified and contrasted native species diversity in canyon versus non- canyon floras across the Southwest. Analyses based on eighteen floras indicate that those centered about a major canyon feature shoW greater diversity than non-canyon floras. Regression models revealed that presence of a canyon Was a better predictor of similarity between floras than was the distance betWeen them. This study documents the remarkable diversity found Within canyon systems and the critical, yet varied, habitat they provide in the southwestern U.S.

  • Originis of Mexican Malpighiaceae
    Acta Botanica Mexicana 104: 107-156 (2013) ORIGINS OF MEXICAN MALPIGHIACEAE William R. andeRson University of Michigan Herbarium Ann Arbor, Michigan 48108, USA [email protected] ABSTRACT The approximately 42 lineages of Malpighiaceae currently known in Mexico are identified and briefly described and discussed. All the Mexican lineages have their ultimate roots in South America, although in some cases the connections are inferred only through phylogeny and several Mexican genera probably originated in Mexico. All the lineages have effective adaptations for dispersal except the genus Galphimia, but distributions outside Mexico and a phylogenetic tree suggest that while many Malpighiaceae reached Mexico through “stepping-stone” dispersal, some lineages probably arrived as the result of episodes of long-distance dispersal from South America. Key words: biogeography, Malpighiaceae, Mexico, phylogeny. RESUMEN Se identifican y se describen y discuten brevemente los aproximadamente 42 linajes de Malpighiaceae que se conocen hasta ahora para México. Todos los linajes mexicanos tienen sus últimas raíces en Sudamérica, aunque en algunos casos las conexiones se infieren únicamente mediante filogenia y algunos géneros mexicanos probablemente se originaron en México. Todos los linajes tienen adaptaciones efectivas para su dispersión excepto el género Galphimia, pero las distribuciones fuera de México y un árbol filogenético sugieren que aunque muchas Malpighiaceae llegaron a México mediante el modelo de dispersión de “piedras de paso”, algunos linajes probablemente arribaron desde Sudamérica mediante dispersión a larga distancia.

  • Areas of Endemism of Selected Seed Plants in Southcentral And
    Areas of Endemism of Selected Seed Plants in Southcentral and Southwestern USA Anna Saghatelyan1 1McMurry University July 8, 2021 Abstract Areas of endemism (AEs) are fundamental entities of analysis in biogeography and a key step for biogeographical regionalization. Even though many studies have contributed to the biogeographical knowledge of southern USA flora, no endemicity analysis (EA) has been conducted that would include a large number of native seed plant species from different families. A new analysis of plant spatial patterns is important as a first step for a future updated floristic regionalization of North America North of Mexico. It has become easier to accomplish owing to the increased availability of large-scale digitized distributional data and statistical methods of biogeographic analysis. Here we identify the AEs in SC/SW USA using digitized plant specimen data available from IDigBio. We built a database with 81,851-specimen point records of 400 selected mostly angiosperm species and applied the NDM/VNDM method of endemicity analysis. We then compare the established 26 AEs in the area of study with the floristic provinces in two comparatively recent regionalization systems of USA. To understand the spatial patterns, we also pay attention to the information on relationships of the endemic species found in phylogenetic literature.

  • A Vascular Plant Inventory of the Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area, Maricopa County, Arizona
    A VASCULAR PLANT INVENTORY OF THE SPUR CROSS RANCH CONSERVATION AREA, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA Sarah Hunkins and Kevin Smith Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area 37622 N. Cave Creek Road Cave Creek, AZ 85331 ABSTRACT A vascular plant inventory of the Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area was conducted from August 2007 through May 2012. The study site, encompassing 2,154 acres (871 hectares), lies close to the northern edge of the Sonoran Desert, in central Arizona. The elevation ranges from Cave Creek at 2,179 feet (664 meters) to the summit of Elephant Mountain at 3,926 feet (1,197 meters). Sonoran Desertscrub is the dominant vegetation type. An annotated checklist, based on collected plant specimens, comprised 396 taxa, including 390 species, 4 additional infraspecific taxa and 2 interspecific hybrids in 73 plant families. Asteraceae, Poaceae, Fabaceae, Boraginaceae and Brassicaceae accounted for 44% of the species included in the inventory. Non-native taxa accounted for 15% of the flora. One rare species of concern, one new state record, and seven species endemic to Arizona are reported. This inventory documents the current floristic diversity of a regionally significant Conservation Area and provides baseline data for future studies of shifts in diversity and use in land management. INTRODUCTION The Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area (SCRCA) is situated close to the northern edge of the Sonoran Desert, in central Arizona, on the northeastern margin of the Phoenix metropolitan area. It is part of a complex of 10 regional parks that rings the city of Phoenix, managed by the Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Department.

  • Flora of the Upper Verde River, Arizona by Francis S. Coburn A
    Flora of the Upper Verde River, Arizona by Francis S. Coburn A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Approved June 2015 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Juliet Stromberg, Co-Chair Leslie Landrum, Co-Chair Elizabeth Makings Walter Fertig ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY August 2015 ©2015 Francis Sterling Coburn VI All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Upper Verde River of central Arizona flows through a landscape of complex geology at the meeting of seven biotic communities and three physiographic provinces. This has resulted in notably diverse flora and fauna and a hub of rare and endemic plant species. The river has sustained cultures since pre-history, however current regional water use is predicted to diminish streamflow over the next century. Prior to this project, no floristic inventory had been conducted along any section of the Verde. The purpose of this study was to develop a Flora of the Upper Verde River, with the goals of documenting rare and endemic species, the composition and abundance of wetland plants, and the factors shaping plant diversity in the region. I made a total of 1856 collections and reviewed past collections to produce a checklist of 729 vascular plant taxa in 403 genera and 98 families. The most species-rich family is the Poaceae, followed by Asteraceae and Fabaceae. The flora includes 159 wetland taxa, 47 endemics, and 26 taxa of conservation concern, eight of which are Federally listed. Several new populations were found in these categories and of rarely- collected taxa including one state record, three county records and several range extensions.

The goals of our study were to resolve relationships among the 11 generic segregates from the New World genus Mascagnia , test the monophyly of the largest remaining Malpighiaceae genera, and clarify the placement of Old World Malpighiaceae. • Methods : We combined DNA sequence data for four genes (plastid ndhF , matK , and rbcL and nuclear PHYC ) from 338 in- group accessions that represented all 77 currently recognized genera with morphological data from 144 ingroup species to produce a complete generic phylogeny of the family.
