  • Phylogeny of Euclinia and Allied Genera of Gardenieae (Rubiaceae), and Description of Melanoxerus, an Endemic Genus of Madagascar
    TAXON 63 (4) • August 2014: 819–830 Kainulainen & Bremer • Systematics of Euclinia Phylogeny of Euclinia and allied genera of Gardenieae (Rubiaceae), and description of Melanoxerus, an endemic genus of Madagascar Kent Kainulainen1,2 & Birgitta Bremer1,2 1 The Bergius Foundation at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences 2 Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences, Stockholm University, 106 91 Stockholm, Sweden Author for correspondence: Kent Kainulainen, [email protected] DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.12705/634.2 Abstract We performed molecular phylogenetic analyses of the Randia clade of the tribe Gardenieae using both plastid and nuclear DNA data. In the phylogenetic hypotheses presented, the African genera Calochone, Euclinia, Macrosphyra, Oligo- codon, Pleiocoryne, and Preussiodora are resolved as a monophyletic group. Support is also found for a clade of the Neotropical genera Casasia, Randia, Rosenbergiodendron, Sphinctanthus, and Tocoyena. This Neotropical clade is resolved as sister group to the African clade in analyses of combined plastid and nuclear data. The genus Euclinia appears polyphyletic. The species described from Madagascar represent an independent lineage, the position of which is moreover found to be incongruent between datasets. Plastid and ribosomal DNA data support a sister­group relationship to the mainland African clade, whereas the low­copy nuclear gene Xdh supports a closer relationship to the Neotropical genera. The phylogenetic reconstructions also indicate that Casasia and Randia are not monophyletic as presently circumscribed. A taxonomic proposal is made for the recognition of the Malagasy taxon at generic level as Melanoxerus. Keywords Euclinia; Gardenieae; Ixoroideae; Madagascar; molecular phylogenetics; Randia; Rubiaceae; systematics; Xdh INTRODUCTION bilocular [Randia] or unilocular [Gardenia]), and that both genera were “polymorphic”.

  • Structure and Alpha Biodiversity of Major Plant Communities in South Africa, a Close Biogeographical Relation with Australia
    Journal of Environment and Ecology ISSN 2157-6092 2014, Vol. 5, No. 2 Structure and Alpha Biodiversity of Major Plant Communities in South Africa, a Close Biogeographical Relation with Australia Raymond L. Specht (Corresponding author) Emeritus Professor of Botany, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD 4072, Australia E-mail: [email protected] Eugene J. Moll Department of Biodiversity and Conservation Biology, University of the Western Cape, Bellville, South Africa Received: June 30, 2014 Accepted: July 13, 2014 Published: October 14, 2014 doi:10.5296/jee.v5i2.6446 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5296/jee.v5i2.6446 Abstract During the short season of annual shoot growth, Foliage Projective Covers (FPCs) in both overstorey and understorey strata, coupled with leaf attributes (Leaf Specific Weight, Leaf Area), are determined by aerodynamic fluxes flowing over and through the plant community. These parameters determined the Evaporative Coefficient — the monthly ratio of actual to potential evapotranspiration per mm of available soil moisture. Maximal FPC is produced in habitats supplied with optimal soil moisture during this short season of shoot growth. Vertical growth of foliage shoots — the number of leaves per shoot and internode lengths — is determined in relation with available soil water and soil nutrients (especially phosphorus and nitrogen ions) during this seasonal growth. Ambient temperature is similarly concerned. The Leaf Area Index (area of all leaves per hectare) determines the interception of solar radiation — and hence net photosynthesis per hectare per annum. This energy-fixation by overstorey foliage determines the yearly growth of the producer, consumer and decomposer sections of the ecosystem. In turn, the biodiversity (number of species per hectare) of producers and resident consumers is determined.

Razafimandimbison2,3 , Niklas Wikstrom€ 3 and Birgitta Bremer3 1University of Michigan Herbarium, ABSTRACT Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Aim The Western Indian Ocean region (WIOR) is home to a very diverse and Biology, Ann Arbor, MI 48108, USA, 2 largely unique flora that has mainly originated via long-distance dispersals. The Department of Botany, Swedish Museum of Natural History, SE-10405 Stockholm, aim of this study is to gain insight into the origins of the WIOR biodiversity Sweden, 3The Bergius Foundation, The Royal and to understand the dynamics of colonization events between the islands. Swedish Academy of Sciences, Department of We investigate spatial and temporal hypotheses of the routes of dispersal, and Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences, compare the dispersal patterns of plants of the Coffeeae alliance (Rubiaceae) Stockholm University, SE-106 91 Stockholm, and their dispersers. Rubiaceae is the second most species-rich plant family in Sweden Madagascar, and includes many endemic genera. The neighbouring archipela- gos of the Comoros, Mascarenes and Seychelles also harbour several endemic Rubiaceae. Location The islands of the Western Indian Ocean. Methods Phylogenetic relationships and divergence times were reconstructed from plastid DNA data of an ingroup sample of 340 species, using Bayesian inference. Ancestral areas and range evolution history were inferred by a maxi- mum likelihood method that takes topological uncertainty into account. Results At least 15 arrivals to Madagascar were inferred, the majority of which have taken place within the last 10 Myr.
