  • Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Alvaro J. Duque M
    Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Alvaro J. Duque M. Introduction 1.1 INTRODUCTION Northwestern Amazonian forest conservation: a challenge for ecologists The actual deforestation rates in Amazonian rain forests are extremely high. The worst case scenario could lead to an almost total disappearance of the largest tropical forest mass that nowadays exists on the earth, in a relatively short time (Laurance et al. 2001). Patterns of rain forest plant diversity in northwestern (NW) Amazonia have particular importance as plant diversity in this area reaches exceptional high values per unit area (Gentry 1988a, Valencia et al. 1994, ter Steege et al. 2003). To guarantee an effective conservation planning, basic knowledge on the distribution of individual species and species assemblages is necessary. In spite of the fact that information concerning to plant communities has much increased in the last decade, most studies have focused on trees because they are the most conspicuous elements in the forests (Gentry 1988b, Duivenvoorden 1995, 1996, Pitman et al. 1999, 2001, ter Steege et al. 2000, Condit et al. 2002). However, it is well known that vascular plant diversity in tropical rain forests is also well represented by other growth forms, such as climbers, shrubs, epiphytes and herbs (Gentry and Dobson 1987, Duivenvoorden 1994, Balslev et al. 1998, Galeano et al. 1998). In addition to this lack of knowledge on non-tree growth forms, most studies have been based on different methodological approaches at individual species or community level, different sample designs, and different spatial scales, which hampers the comparisons and extrapolations among independent case studies. The Pleistocene and Miocene-Pliocene climate history has been considered as the cornerstone to understand the origin of the plant and animal biodiversity and biogeography in Amazonian rain forests (Haffer 1969, Colinvaux 1987, Van der Hammen and Absy 1994, Hooghiemstra and van der Hammen 1998).

  • Scientific Literature on Inga (Fabaceae) from Santa Catarina State, Southern Brazil (1983-2017)
    Scientific literature on Inga (Fabaceae) from Santa Catarina state, Southern Brazil (1983-2017) Altamir Rocha Antunes*, Guilherme Alves Elias, Gisele Pezente & Robson dos Santos Herbário Pe. Dr. Raulino Reitz (CRI). Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Ambientais, Universidade do Extremo Sul Catarinense – UNESC, Criciúma, SC, Brasil; [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] * Correspondence Received 08-X-2018. Corrected 19-VII-2019. Accepted 18-IX-2019. ABSTRACT. The genus Inga Mill. belongs to the mimosoid clade (Fabaceae, Caesalpinioideae) that includes 131 species in Brazil. It is the most important genus of Fabaceae. In this sense, this study aimed to perform a bibliometric analysis on Inga from Santa Catarina state. A survey of the published literature was conducted using the electronic databases of the Web of Science, Scopus and SciELO with the accepted names of Inga species and its synonyms. Papers were distributed in four subject categories: C1 (Ecological), C2 (morphology, anatomy, taxonomy, histology, physiology and genetics), C3 (production and use) and C4 (biochemical and nutritional properties). We registered 232 papers for 13 species of Inga. C1 was the most studied subject category, mainly in topics such as nutrient supply, shade and nitrogen fixing capacity. We also noticed that the subjects diversi- fied over the years, with registered papers in all categories. Inga edulis, I. vera and I. marginata were the most registered species in our survey. Our results showed an increase in the number of articles on Inga over time, especially in the last 13 years. However, some important gaps need to be addressed, such as the relatively small number and/or lack of studies conducted for some species.

  • Consequences of Interspecific Variation in Defenses and Herbivore
    Oecologia https://doi.org/10.1007/s00442-018-4080-z SPECIAL TOPIC: FROM PLANTS TO HERBIVORES Consequences of interspecifc variation in defenses and herbivore host choice for the ecology and evolution of Inga, a speciose rainforest tree Phyllis D. Coley1,2 · María‑José Endara1,3 · Thomas A. Kursar1,2 Received: 15 September 2017 / Accepted: 26 November 2017 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract We summarize work on a speciose Neotropical tree genus, Inga (Fabaceae), examining how interspecifc variation in anti- herbivore defenses may have evolved, how defenses shape host choice by herbivores and how they might regulate commu- nity composition and infuence species radiations. Defenses of expanding leaves include secondary metabolites, extraforal nectaries, rapid leaf expansion, trichomes, and synchrony and timing of leaf production. These six classes of defenses are orthogonal, supporting independent evolutionary trajectories. Moreover, only trichomes show a phylogenetic signature, suggesting evolutionary lability in nearly all defenses. The interspecifc diversity in secondary metabolite profles does not arise from the evolution of novel compounds, but from novel combinations of common compounds, presumably due to changes in gene regulation. Herbivore host choice is determined by plant defensive traits, not host phylogeny. Neighboring plants escape each other’s pests if their defenses difer enough, thereby enforcing the high local diversity typical of tropi- cal forests. Related herbivores feed on hosts with similar defenses, implying that there are phylogenetic constraints placed on the herbivore traits that are associated with host use. Divergence in defensive traits among Inga appears to be driven by herbivore pressure. However, the lack of congruence between herbivore and host phylogeny suggests that herbivores are tracking defenses, choosing hosts based on traits for which they already have adaptations.

  • Abstract La Variación En Las Secuencias De
    MA. TERESA P. PULIDO-SALAS1, DOLORES GONZÁLEZ2*, ARTURO PÉREZ-VÁZQUEZ3 PRELIMINARY VERSION AND FRANCISCO LOREA-HERNÁNDEZ2 Botanical Sciences 94 (4): 1-14, 2016 Abstract Background: Inga inicuil is a leguminous tree in Veracruz, Mexico whose fruits are locally commercialized. One DOI: 10.17129/botsci.638 taxonomic hypothesis suggests that I. inicuil is a species with a wide altitudinal range, while another segregates I. paterno from I. inicuil by altitude and morphology. The aim of this study was to explore variation in non-coding regions from the chloroplast and nuclear genomes within individuals of I. inicuil from contrasting altitude. Hypothesis: Phylogenetic analyses with sequence data would separate exemplars of I. inicuil in two different species and as the case with other metabolites, the sugar content in the sarcotesta would vary with altitude. Studied species: Inga inicuil Study site: The mountainous region of Coatepec and the coastal region of Tolome and San Pancho in Veracruz, Mexico. Methods: Representative individuals of I. inicuil were selected from localities with contrasting altitude. Maxi- mum Likelihood and Bayesian Phylogenetic Inference approaches were used for phylogenetic analyses with sequence data from the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 and trnL-F. Sugar content in ripe fruit was measured using a refrac- tometer. Results: Sugar content was not related to altitude or with sequence variation. However, sequences from the trnL-F revealed an insertion/deletion of approximately 309 nucleotides present only in trees growing at the coastal plain. Phylogenetic analyses with sequence data support the hypothesis that I. inicuil and I. paterno are two different species. Conclusions: The remarkable differences of sequence data from the trnL-F within the species make necessary further research increasing taxon sampling along with its distribution range for clarifying its taxonomy.
