Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden Phylogenetic interrelationships in the enlarged order Ericales were investigated by jackknife analysis of a combination of DNA sequences from the plastid genes rbcL, ndhF, atpB, and the mitochondrial genes atp1 and matR. Several well-supported groups were identi®ed, but neither a combination of all gene sequences nor any one alone fully resolved the relationships between all major clades in Ericales. All investigated families except Theaceae were found to be monophyletic. Four families, Marcgraviaceae, Balsaminaceae, Pellicieraceae, and Tetrameristaceae form a monophyletic group that is the sister of the remaining families. On the next higher level, Fouquieriaceae and Polemoniaceae form a clade that is sister to the majority of families that form a group with eight supported clades between which the interrelationships are unresolved: Theaceae-Ternstroemioideae with Ficalhoa, Sladenia, and Pentaphylacaceae; Theaceae-Theoideae; Ebenaceae and Lissocarpaceae; Symplocaceae; Maesaceae, Theophrastaceae, Primulaceae, and Myrsinaceae; Styr- acaceae and Diapensiaceae; Lecythidaceae and Sapotaceae; Actinidiaceae, Roridulaceae, Sarraceniaceae, Clethraceae, Cyrillaceae, and Ericaceae.

  • The Chaparral Vegetation in Mexico Under Nonmediterranean Climate: the Convergence and Madrean-Tethyan Hypotheses Reconsidered1
    American Journal of Botany 85(10): 1398±1408. 1998. THE CHAPARRAL VEGETATION IN MEXICO UNDER NONMEDITERRANEAN CLIMATE: THE CONVERGENCE AND MADREAN-TETHYAN HYPOTHESES RECONSIDERED1 ALFONSO VALIENTE-BANUET,2,4 NOEÂ FLORES-HERNAÂ NDEZ,2 MIGUEL VERDUÂ ,3 AND PATRICIA DAÂ VILA3 2Instituto de EcologõÂa, Universidad Nacional AutoÂnoma de MeÂxico, Apartado Postal 70±275, UNAM, 04510 MeÂxico, D.F.; and 3UBIPRO, ENEP-Iztacala, Universidad Nacional AutoÂnoma de MeÂxico, Apartado Postal 314, MeÂxico, 54090, Tlalnepantla, MeÂxico A comparative study between an unburned evergreen sclerophyllous vegetation located in south-central Mexico under a wet-summer climate, with mediterranean regions was conducted in order to re-analyze vegetation and plant characters claimed to converge under mediterranean climates. The comparison considered ¯oristic composition, plant-community struc- ture, and plant characters as adaptations to mediterranean climates and analyzed them by means of a correspondence analysis, considering a tropical spiny shrubland as the external group. We made a species register of the number of species that resprouted after a ®re occurred in 1995 and a distribution map of the evergreen sclerophyllous vegetation in Mexico (mexical) under nonmediterranean climates. The TehuacaÂn mexical does not differ from the evergreen sclerophyllous areas of Chile, California, Australia, and the Mediterranean Basin, according to a correspondence analysis, which ordinated the TehuacaÂn mexical closer to the mediter- ranean areas than to the external group. All the vegetation and ¯oristic characteristics of the mexical, as well as its distribution along the rain-shadowed mountain parts of Mexico, support its origin in the Madrean-Tethyan hypothesis of Axelrod. Therefore, these results allow to expand the convergence paradigm of the chaparral under an integrative view, in which a general trend to aridity might explain ¯oristic and adaptive patterns detected in these environments.

  • I Is the Sunda-Sahul Floristic Exchange Ongoing?
    Is the Sunda-Sahul floristic exchange ongoing? A study of distributions, functional traits, climate and landscape genomics to investigate the invasion in Australian rainforests By Jia-Yee Samantha Yap Bachelor of Biotechnology Hons. A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation i Abstract Australian rainforests are of mixed biogeographical histories, resulting from the collision between Sahul (Australia) and Sunda shelves that led to extensive immigration of rainforest lineages with Sunda ancestry to Australia. Although comprehensive fossil records and molecular phylogenies distinguish between the Sunda and Sahul floristic elements, species distributions, functional traits or landscape dynamics have not been used to distinguish between the two elements in the Australian rainforest flora. The overall aim of this study was to investigate both Sunda and Sahul components in the Australian rainforest flora by (1) exploring their continental-wide distributional patterns and observing how functional characteristics and environmental preferences determine these patterns, (2) investigating continental-wide genomic diversities and distances of multiple species and measuring local species accumulation rates across multiple sites to observe whether past biotic exchange left detectable and consistent patterns in the rainforest flora, (3) coupling genomic data and species distribution models of lineages of known Sunda and Sahul ancestry to examine landscape-level dynamics and habitat preferences to relate to the impact of historical processes. First, the continental distributions of rainforest woody representatives that could be ascribed to Sahul (795 species) and Sunda origins (604 species) and their dispersal and persistence characteristics and key functional characteristics (leaf size, fruit size, wood density and maximum height at maturity) of were compared.

  • Biological Assessment and the US Fish and Wildlife Service Letter of Concurrence, References, Index
    BIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT for the CARIBBEAN NATIONAL FOREST REVISED LAND AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN I. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this analysis is to assess effects on federally designated threatened or endangered species that occur or could occur within the Caribbean National Forest (CNF) or could be affected by management proposed in the Revised Land and Resource Management Plan (Revised Plan). The planning area includes all federal land managed or administered by the CNF in northeastern Puerto Rico (approximately 28,000 acres). This document is a Programmatic Biological Assessrnent (BA) that evaluates the effects of management under the Selected Alternative (C-mod) for the Revised Plan. Project-specific analysis is still conducted at the time of a project proposal to determine site-specific effects. This BA was prepared in accordance with Forest Service Manual 2671. 44 and 2672.42 and regulations set forth in Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act. Determinations of effect by species are made based on best available information. As significant new information becomes available through inventory, monitoring and research, a revision of this assessment will be done through consultation with the u.s. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) as appropriate. The objectives of ·this assessment are to: 1. Document the occurrence or possibility of occurrence of Federally listed species within the planning area of the CNF Revised Plan. 2. Determine the effects of implementing Revised Plan direction on Federally listed species at the programmatic level. 3. Ensure that Forest Service actions do not contribute to loss of viability of any plant or animal species, or promete downward population trends which would lead towards Federal listing of any species.

Jiménez & D. Santam., a new tree species from La Amistad International Park in Costa Rica and Panama, is described and illustrated. Ternstroemia amistadensis is assessed as Near Threatened, It may be may be dis- tinguished from other species in the genus based on its obovate, coriaceous and very shiny leaf laminae with obtuse-rounded apices and bearing many small black punctations below. Resumen Se describe y se ilustra Ternstroemia amistadensis Q. Jiménez & D. Santam., un arbolito procedente del Parque Internacional La Amistad, Costa Rica-Panamá. La especie se distingue por sus láminas foliares obovadas, obtuso-redondeadas (a veces emarginadas) en el ápice, muy coriáceas y brillantes en el haz y con numerosos y notorios puntos negros en el envés.

Several studies have pointed out that individual plasticity can largely explain the foliar phenotypic differences observed in populations due to climatic change and have suggested that the environment plays an important role in the evolution of plant species by selecting for phenotypic variation. Thus, the study of foliar morphology in plant populations can help us identify the environmental factors that have potentially influenced the process of species diversification. In this study, we analyzed morphological variation in the leaf traits of the Ternstroemia lineata species complex (Penthaphylacaceae) and its relation Submitted 30 March 2019 to climatic variables across the species distribution area to identify the patterns of Accepted 27 November 2019 Published 10 January 2020 morphological differentiation within this species complex.
