    In the Company One Botanist’s Humbling Encounters with Ancient Dioons ofof GiantsGiants Article and photos (unless otherwise indicated) by Jody Haynes 1,400 years prior! This population occurs in tropical oak forest alongside a small stream; such a setting is quite common for many of the 30+ populations of this species in Honduras. There were no cones evident, but seedlings were present. Due to its remoteness and relative inaccessibility, this population—and the giants therein— is almost certainly not threatened. During the HN03 expedition, Mark and I visited more than 20 populations of Dioon mejiae, documented at least ten more, and elevated the conservation status of this species to Not Threatened from previous assessments suggesting that it was Rare (Lucas & Synge, 1978) or Vulnerable (Mace et al., 1992; Walter & Gillett, 1998). We also revised the estimate of the total number of wild plants, increasing it 120-fold from the previous estimate of 5,000 (Osborne, 1995) to no less than 600,000 mature plants spread across 10,000 ha in northern Olancho and eastern Yoro (Haynes & Bonta, 2003; Haynes & Bonta, In press). Dioon spinulosum—The popula- tion of this species that we visited in northern Oaxaca is approximately 120 km from the type locality. The plants were growing on a karst (limestone) mogote rising up out of the surrounding farm fields (Fig. 2). Many large and hundreds of medium-sized and juvenile plants were growing on this mogote. In one area, female cones and seedlings were abundant, where- as cones and seedlings were Fig. 1. The author is dwarfed by a giant Dioon mejiae in Olancho, Honduras essentially absent in another (photo by Mark Bonta).

  • A Passion for Cycads
    A Passion for Cycads SURVIVORS FROM THE DINOSAUR AGE, CYCADS CONTINUE TO CAPTIVATE COLLECTORS AND RESEARCHERS By Usha Lee McFarling Cycads are squat, woody, and branchless. They have no flowers, just spiky leaves that shred clothes and tear skin. They grow slowly, poison livestock and sometimes people. Despite these liabilities, the strange and primordial plants inspire a fierce, and sometimes inexplicable, ardor in their fans. Once besotted, many collectors can’t stop themselves from amassing the rare, often expensive plants, many of which are severely endangered and illegal to transport across international borders. “I’ve seen wealthy people show them off in walled gardens the way people used to show off Van Goghs and Chagalls,” says Tim Gregory, a cycad enthusiast and University of California Botanical Garden advisory board member who has spent the past three decades studying and propagating the plants. “It’s very weird.” The obsession can disrupt lives: some collectors Author Oliver Sacks wrote about the plant’s neuro- become cycad nurserymen.

They were at their height during the times of the stem or trunk. The trunks may be solitary or branched depending dinosaurs, forming part of the world vegetation during the Mesozoic on age and species. Infact it would be more correct to say that palms are cycad-like since the cycad families are of far greater age than the era (160million years ago). They superficially resemble palms or but cones. They are gymnosperms that include conifers, and cycads even ferns though totally unrelated since they do not bear flowers occur in separate sexes there being female and male plants. Cycads palms that are classified as flowering plants. When you have a closer the conifers; the seed-bearing cone bears naked seeds, hence the had a much wider distribution during the historic past with fossils look at cycad cones you will find a certain resemblance to those of term gymnosperm in that the seed lacks the ovary wall that forms found in Alaska, Russia, Britain and the USA.

ABSTRACT. Introduction: Places with high species diversity have high linguistic diversity, whereas areas with low species diversity tend to have low linguistic diversity. Objective: To characterize the intriguing rela- tionship between biological and cultural diversity, a correlation that has been discussed at a global scale, but here tested for the first time in Mexico. Methods: We compiled exhaustive databases on both endangered spe- cies and endangered languages, and reviewed available literature on Mexico’s biocultural diversity with a focus on endangered and critically endangered species and languages. Results: With 364 living languages, Mexico is the world’s fifth most linguistically diverse country, but 64 of these languages are facing a very high risk of disappearance and 13 have already disappeared. Mexico is also the fourth most biologically diverse country, but 1 213 species of its flora and fauna are threatened with extinction and at least 127 species were recently extinct. Conclusions: Indigenous peoples are custodians of much of the world’s biocultural diversity. As the world grows less linguistically and culturally diverse, it is also becoming less biologically diverse. Mexico’s biological and linguistic diversity show strong geographic overlap, with the states of Oaxaca, Chiapas, Veracruz, Guerrero, and Michoacán harboring most species and most languages.

  • Life History, Population Dynamics and Conservation Status of Oldenburgia Grandis (Asteraceae), an Endemic of the Eastern Cape of South Africa
    The conservation, ecology, and distribution of the Critically Endangered Encephalartos latifrons Lehm. A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (SCIENCE) of RHODES UNIVERSITY by CARIN SWART Department of Botany March 2019 ABSTRACT Cycads have attracted global attention both as horticulturally interesting and often valuable plants; but also as some of the most threatened organisms on the planet. In this thesis I investigate the conservation management, biology, reproductive ecology and distribution of Encephalartos latifrons populations in the wild and draw out conclusions on how best to conserve global cycad biodiversity. I also employ computer- modelling techniques in some of the chapters of this thesis to demonstrate how to improve conservation outcomes for E. latifrons and endangered species in general, where information on the distribution, biology and habitat requirements of such species are inherently limited, often precluding robust conservation decision-making. In Chapter 1 of this thesis I introduce the concept of extinction debt and elucidate the importance of in situ cycad conservation. I explain how the concept of extinction debt relates to single species, as well as give details on the mechanisms causing extinction debt in cycad populations. I introduce the six extinction trajectory threshold model and how this relates to extinction debt in cycads. I discuss the vulnerability of cycads to extinction and give an overview of biodiversity policy in South Africa. I expand on how national and global policies contribute to cycad conservation and present various global initiatives that support threatened species conservation. I conclude Chapter 1 by explaining how computer-based models can assist conservation decision-making for rare, threatened, and endangered species in the face of uncertainty.
