RESUMEN EJECUTIVO Presente brevemente el área propuesta y sus principales características y especifique los objetivos que motivaron su creación : El Santuario de Flora y Fauna Los Flamencos (SFFF), localizado en el Corregimiento de Camarones, Municipio de Riohacha – La Guajira, se encuentra ubicado entre los límites de la baja y media Guajira, en la vertiente nororiental de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta y hacia el final de la cuenca del río Camarones – Tomarrazón. El SFFF alberga Ecosistemas de Humedal representado por cuatro lagunas costeras, Manglar y de Vegetación seca y subxerofítica. 4 sur 38 Esta área es proveedora de bienes y servicios ambientales como la captación de agua, refugio natural16/09/2016 16:03 contra inundaciones, huracanes y demás riesgos climáticos; conservación de la estabilidad costera, Informe final - Santuario de Flora y Fauna Los Flamencos http://www.spaw-palisting.org/area/report/id/56 Vegetación seca y subxerofítica. Esta área es proveedora de bienes y servicios ambientales como la captación de agua, refugio natural contra inundaciones, huracanes y demás riesgos climáticos; conservación de la estabilidad costera, producción de oxígeno, hábitat alimenticio y de refugio para aves residentes y migratorias, peces, crustáceos y moluscos, por lo que a su vez es clave para la seguridad alimentaria local y permite la prestación de servicios eco y etnoturísticos por parte de la población local. Así mismo, el SFFF representa un lugar de alta importancia para la sociedad, ya que históricamente ha estado ocupada por comunidades afro (aprox. 500 años) y Wayúu (desde 1900 aprox.), albergando actualmente en su interior alrededor de 1.450 habitantes distribuidos en nueve comunidades de las que hace parte el Resguardo Indígena Wayúu Perratpu. Las lagunas que alberga, son consideradas como sitios sagrados en los procesos culturales de la cosmovisión Wayúu, y hacen parte de la línea negra de los pueblos indígenas de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. El principal motivo de creación del Santuario como área protegida, fue el de conservar las poblaciones de aves silvestres acuáticas, en especial, la del Flamenco rosado ( Phoenicopterus ruber ). Explique por qué el área propuesta debería ser propuesta para inclusión en la lista SPAW El Santuario de Flora y Fauna Los Flamencos debe ser propuesto para inclusión en la lista SPAW, porque es una área de gran importancia y alta vulnerabilidad en términos ambientales y socioeconómicos a nivel regional. Esta área es proveedora de bienes y servicios ambientales como la captación de agua, refugio natural contra inundaciones, huracanes y demás riesgos climáticos; conservación de la estabilidad costera, producción de oxígeno, hábitat alimenticio y de refugio para mamíferos, reptiles, anfibios, aves residentes y migratorias, peces, crustáceos y moluscos, por lo que a su vez es clave para la seguridad alimentaria local. Allí se conservan cerca de 176 especies de aves de las cuales 50 son migratorias, y se realizan esfuerzos para garantizar el mantenimiento de las poblaciones de flamenco rosado ( Phoenicopterus ruber ). Sin embargo, la realidad socioambiental del SFFF, la localiza en un escenario de alto riesgo de deterioro ambiental, debido a su vulnerabilidad al cambio climático, baja resiliencia de los ecosistemas secos, forma de tenencia de la tierra (predios privados), presiones fuertes tanto internas como externas y limitada capacidad presupuestal y de recurso humano. En su parecer, los Criterios a los cuales se ajusta (Lineamientos y Criterios B Párrafo 2) Valor de conservación Rareza Hábitats críticos Diversidad Conectividad/coherencia Criterios cultural y socio-económicos Productividad Uso cultural y tradicional Beneficios socio económicos Capítulo 3.

Se aclara que las anteriores Superficies pueden variar dado que el área se encuenttra en un proceso de realinderamiento de sus límites. b - Características físicas Breve descripción de las principales características físicas en el área: Las principales formaciones geológicas que se encuentran en el SFFF corresponden a: Depósito de llanura aluvial, Depósito de cauce aluvial, Depósito de barra, Depósitos deltáicos, Depósitos de playón, Formación Mongui. En relación a la Hidrología, el Santuario pertenece a la cuenca hidrográfica del Río Camarones-Tomarrazón, que alcanza su punto más alto en la Loma de Bañaderos a 1200 msnm, formando parte integral de las estribaciones de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. El ecosistema lagunar está conformado por cuatro lagunas marino costeras: Laguna Grande, Navío Quebrado, Manzanillo y Chentico, separadas del mar por barras marinas, conformando un sistemas hídrico dinámico y variable, integrado a su vez por corrientes menores o arroyos. En relación al clima, La temperatura ambiental mensual puede oscilar entre los 28° y 37°C. La precipitación pluvial anual promedio se calcula entre unos 800 y 1.000 mm, con un régimen bimodal de lluvias. Geología: A continuación se describen las diferentes formaciones geológicas que se encuentran dentro del área del Santuario de Flora y Fauna los Flamencos: Depósito de llanura aluvial (Qa): Sedimentos semiconsolidados fundamentalmente de tipo arcillo-arenoso a arcilloso. Presenta mayor aporte de arenas eólicas retrabajadas. El Santuario sólo posee una pequeña parte de este depósito en la parte norte más exactamente en el sector de Tocoromana y extendiéndose hasta el Ahumao. Los drenajes que están influenciados por estos depósitos son: los arroyos El Estero, El Esterito y Goya. Depósito de cauce aluvial (Qal): Sedimentos sueltos de composición areno-arcillosa acumulados en la zona de acción de los ríos y arroyos. Todos los drenajes del área están influenciados por este depósito, siendo más potente el del Río Camarones, ya que en épocas torrenciales transporta grandes cantidades de material tanto

  • Conocarpus Erectus
    Conocarpus erectus (Button Mangrove, Green Buttonwood) Button mangrove is a broadleaf evergreen trees which can withstand drought, salt, heat and high winds.The fruit looks like a dried raspberry or a pine cone. Its flaky brown bark is very attractive. Throughout the year, greenish-white and purple flowers are produced, but they are not noticeable. Due to the high tolerance of heat and drought it is used a lot in hot and arid climate as hedge, street tree or windbreak.

Samples were collected from four sampling sites representing area of high traffic density, area future away from traffic and Industrial area. Samples were collected in two stages (May and October) in 2011 for chemical analysis. Samples from village near the city also analyzed for comparison. Based on the results, the stages of leaf sampling did not showed any significant effect on the concentration of the measured heavy metals in leaf samples. Chemical analysis of soil samples at depth of 0-10cm showed that concentration of most of these elements was lower than the maximum recommended levels. Concentrations of measured heavy metals in washed leaves were lower than those of unwashed leaves of Conocarpus and different was significant. In spite of that, there was no significant correlation between the concentrations of heavy metals in washed leaves and soil samples.

To date, the development of new antimicrobial drugs is still lagging far behind the rising demand, partly owing to the absence of an effective screening platform. Over the last decade, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans Edited by: Luis Cláudio Nascimento Da Silva, has been incorporated as a whole animal screening platform for antimicrobials.

LOPEZ, Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843-2258, USA ABSTRACT We used nucleotide sequence data from a mitochondrial DNA fragment to characterize variation within the endangered Lower Keys marsh rabbit (Sylvilagus palustris hefneri). We observed 5 unique mitochondrial haplotypes across different sampling sites in the Lower Florida Keys, USA. Based on the frequency of these haplotypes at different geographic locations and relationships among haplotypes, we observed 2 distinct clades or groups of sampling sites (western and eastern clades). These 2 groups showed low levels of gene flow. Regardless of their origin, marsh rabbits from the Lower Florida Keys can be separated into 2 genetically distinct management units, which should be considered prior to implementation of translocations as a means of offsetting recent population declines.

Hernández, Mario Sousa and Helga Ochoterena Herbario Nacional de México, Departamento de Botánica, Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Apartado postal 70- 233, 04510 México D. F., Mexico. [email protected] Abstract. Trees or tree-like plants are defined here broadly as perennial, self-supporting plants with a total height of at least 5 m (without ascending leaves or inflorescences), and with one or several erect stems with a diameter of at least 10 cm. We continue our compilation of an updated list of all native Mexican tree species with the dicotyledonous families Asteraceae (36 species, 39% endemic), Leguminosae with its 3 subfamilies (449 species, 41% endemic), and Rubiaceae (134 species, 24% endemic). The tallest tree species reach 20 m in the Asteraceae, 70 m in the Leguminosae, and also 70 m in the Rubiaceae. The species-richest genus is Lonchocarpus with 67 tree species in Mexico. Three legume genera are endemic to Mexico (Conzattia, Hesperothamnus, and Heteroflorum). The appendix lists all species, including their original publication, references of taxonomic revisions, existence of subspecies or varieties, maximum height in Mexico, and endemism status. Key words: biodiversity, flora, tree definition. Resumen. Las plantas arbóreas o arborescentes se definen aquí en un sentido amplio como plantas perennes que se pueden sostener por sí solas, con una altura total de al menos 5 m (sin considerar hojas o inflorescencias ascendentes) y con uno o varios tallos erectos de un diámetro de al menos 10 cm.

Br. is an angiosperm family of high economic value. However, there is dearth of information on the phylogenetic relationship of the members of this family using ribulose biphosphate carboxylase (rbcL) gene. Previous studies with electrophoretic-based and morphological markers revealed that this family is phylogenetically complex. In the present study, 79 sequences of rbcL were used to study the phylogenetic relationship among the members of Combretaceae of African origin with a view to provide more information required for the utilization and management of this family. Multiple Sequence alignment was executed using the MUSCLE component of Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Version X Analysis (MEGA X). Transition/Transversion ratio, Consistency index, Retention Index and Composite Index were also determined. Phylogenetic trees were constructed using Maximum parsimony (MP) and Neighbor joining methods.

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.

    Global Change Biology (2012) 18, 3536–3542, doi: 10.1111/gcb.12024 Impacts of a half century of sea-level rise and development on an endangered mammal JASON A. SCHMIDT*, ROBERT MCCLEERY† ,JENNIFERR.SEAVEY† ,SUSANE.CAMERON DEVITT† andPAIGE M. SCHMIDT‡ *Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843, USA, †Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, University of Florida, 314 Newins-Ziegler Hall, PO Box 110430, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA, ‡Division of Biological Sciences, United States Fish and Wildlife Service, National Wildlife Refuge System, Tulsa, OK 74129, USA Abstract The extraordinary growth of human populations and development in coastal areas over the last half century has eliminated and degraded coastal habitats and threatened the persistence of associated wildlife. Moreover, human-induced sea-level rise (SLR) is projected to further eliminate and alter the same coastal ecosystems, especially low-lying regions. Whereas habitat loss and wildlife population declines from development are well documented, contemporary SLR has not yet been implicated in declines of coastal faunal populations. In addition, the projection of severe synergistic impacts from the combination of development and SLR is well described, yet the scientific litera- ture offers little empirical evidence of the influence of these forces on coastal wildlife. Analysis of aerial photographs from 1959 to 2006 provided evidence of a 64% net loss of the endangered Lower Keys marsh rabbit’s (Sylvilagus palustris hefneri; LKMR) habitat, the majority due to SLR (>48%). Furthermore, there was a strong negative relation- ship between the proportion of development per island and the amount of new habitat formed.
