Limited Fruit Production in Hancornia Speciosa (Apocynaceae) and Pollination by Nocturnal and Diurnal Insects1
BIOTROPICA 37(3): 381–388 2005 10.1111/j.1744-7429.2005.00050.x Limited Fruit Production in Hancornia speciosa (Apocynaceae) and Pollination by Nocturnal and Diurnal Insects1 Reisla O. Darrault2 and Clemens Schlindwein Departamento de Botanica,ˆ Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Av. Professor Moraes Rego,ˆ s/n, 50670-901 - Recife, PE, Brazil ABSTRACT Frequency and efficiency of pollinator visits strongly influence the reproductive success of self-incompatible plants. We investigated the breeding and pollination systems of Hancornia speciosa, a small tree that produces fleshy berries used in the Brazilian fruit industry. Observation and experiments were carried out in Northeastern Brazil. Thirty-three species of the visitor were recorded. Hawkmoths (Sphingidae), bees (Euglossini and Centridini), and butterflies (Nymphalidae and Hesperiidae) with long mouth parts were effective pollinators of H. speciosa. Access to nectar, the only reward for flower visitors, is determined by corolla tube length. Nylon threads of various diameters and dried mouth parts from a number of flower visitors were used in experiments to simulate flower visits. The number of pollen grains removed during such simulated visits showed no significant difference. Although xenogamic, H. speciosa presented a low pollen/ovule ratio (77). This might be related to the high efficiency of its pollination mechanism. Flowers of H. speciosa had 76 ovules on average. Seed set varied from 1 to 25, indicating that individual flowers received different amounts of outcross-pollen. Fruit production of hand cross-pollinated flowers increased by 90 percent when compared to natural pollination, suggesting pollinator limitation of H. speciosa. RESUMO Afrequenciaˆ e a eficienciaˆ das visitas dos polinizadores influenciam fortemente no sucesso reprodutivo de plantas auto-incompat´ıveis. -
Henderson, L. (2007). Invasive, Naturalized and Casual Alien Plants in Southern Africa
Bothalia 37,2: 215–248 (2007) Invasive, naturalized and casual alien plants in southern Africa: a sum- mary based on the Southern African Plant Invaders Atlas (SAPIA) L. HENDERSON* Keywords: biomes, casual alien plants, invasive plants, Lesotho, naturalized plants, roadside surveys, SAPIA mapping project, South Africa, Swaziland ABSTRACT The primary objective of this publication is to provide an overview of the species identity, invasion status, geographical extent, and abundance of alien plants in South Africa, Swaziland and Lesotho, based on fi eld records from 1979 to the end of 2000. The dataset is all the species records for the study area in the Southern African Plant Invaders Atlas (SAPIA) database during this time period. A total of 548 naturalized and casual alien plant species were catalogued and invasion was recorded almost throughout the study area. Most invasion, in terms of both species numbers and total species abundance, was recorded along the southern, southwestern and eastern coastal belts and in the adjacent interior. This area includes the whole of the Fynbos and Forest Biomes, and the moister eastern parts of the Grassland and Savanna Biomes. This study reinforces previous studies that the Fynbos Biome is the most extensively invaded vegetation type in South Africa but it also shows that parts of Savanna and Grassland are as heavily invaded as parts of the Fynbos. The Fabaceae is prominent in all biomes and Acacia with 17 listed species, accounts for a very large proportion of all invasion. Acacia mearnsii was by far the most prominent invasive species in the study area, followed by A. -

Morphology and Vascular Anatomy of the Flower of Lagerstroemia Indica L
© Landesmuseum für Kärnten; download www.landesmuseum.ktn.gv.at/wulfenia; www.biologiezentrum.at Wulfenia 15 (2008): 51–62 Mitteilungen des Kärntner Botanikzentrums Klagenfurt Morphology and vascular anatomy of the fl ower of Lagerstroemia indica L. (Lythraceae) with some phylogenetic implications Anastasiya Odintsova Summary: The main patterns of the fl oral vascular system and the structure of the syncarpous gynoecium of one of the most primitive members of Lythraceae, Lagerstroemia indica, have been studied. The vascular system of the fl ower consists of a vascular cylinder, in which consequently closed gaps with diverged traces to fl oral organs or composed vascular stands appear. The histological diff erentiation and vascular anatomy confi rm the prevalence of appendicular features in the fl oral tube of Lagerstroemia indica. The syncarpous gynoecium of Lagerstroemia indica is composed of fertile synascidiate and symplicate structural zones without an apocarpous zone. The most characteristic features of the gynoecium are a secretory epidermis on a massive placenta and on incomplete septa, prominent dorsal ridges inside the locules, and continuation of septal bundles into the style. Keywords: Lagerstroemia indica, Lythraceae, Myrtales, fl ower morphology, vascular anatomy, hypanthium, gynoecium Lythraceae, with 31 genera and 585 species, the third largest family of the Myrtales, are distributed worldwide and show a relatively great range of morphological variation (Conti et al. 1997). It is the only non-monotypic family within Myrtales with a superior ovary (Eichler 1878) and a multicellular archesporium in ovule (Tobe & Raven 1983) – both rather primitive characters for Myrtales. In contrast to most families of the Myrtales, in Lythraceae developmental studies of the fl owers are rare (Cheung & Sattler 1967; Ronse Decraene & Smets 1991), and vascular-anatomical data are incomplete: they concern certain problems of comparative fl oral morphology, e.g. -
Flora of South Australia 5Th Edition | Edited by Jürgen Kellermann
Flora of South Australia 5th Edition | Edited by Jürgen Kellermann KEY TO FAMILIES1 J.P. Jessop2 The sequence of families used in this Flora follows closely the one adopted by the Australian Plant Census (www.anbg.gov. au/chah/apc), which in turn is based on that of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG III 2009) and Mabberley’s Plant Book (Mabberley 2008). It differs from previous editions of the Flora, which were mainly based on the classification system of Engler & Gilg (1919). A list of all families recognised in this Flora is printed in the inside cover pages with families already published highlighted in bold. The up-take of this new system by the State Herbarium of South Australia is still in progress and the S.A. Census database (www.flora.sa.gov.au/census.shtml) still uses the old classification of families. The Australian Plant Census web-site presents comparison tables of the old and new systems on family and genus level. A good overview of all families can be found in Heywood et al. (2007) and Stevens (2001–), although these authors accept a slightly different family classification. A number of names with which people using this key may be familiar but are not employed in the system used in this work have been included for convenience and are enclosed on quotation marks. 1. Plants reproducing by spores and not producing flowers (“Ferns and lycopods”) 2. Aerial shoots either dichotomously branched, with scale leaves and 3-lobed sporophores or plants with fronds consisting of a simple or divided sterile blade and a simple or branched spikelike sporophore .................................................................................. -

Box 37012, Washington, DC 20013-7012; 3Present address, author for correspondence: Department of Biology, Hope College, 35 East 12th Street, Holland, Michigan 49423-9000 ([email protected]) Communicating Editor: John V. Freudenstein ABSTRACT. The chloroplast-encoded gene rbcL was sequenced in 30 genera of Commelinaceae to evaluate intergeneric relationships within the family. The Australian Cartonema was consistently placed as sister to the rest of the family. The Commelineae is monophyletic, while the monophyly of Tradescantieae is in question, due to the position of Palisota as sister to all other Tradescantieae plus Commelineae. The phylogeny supports the most recent classi®cation of the family with monophyletic tribes Tradescantieae (minus Palisota) and Commelineae, but is highly incongruent with a morphology-based phylogeny. This incongruence is attributed to convergent evolution of morphological characters associated with pollination strategies, especially those of the androecium and in¯orescence. Analysis of the combined data sets produced a phylogeny similar to the rbcL phylogeny. The combined analysis differed from the molecular one, however, in supporting the monophyly of Dichorisandrinae. The family appears to have arisen in the Old World, with one or possibly two movements to the New World in the Tradescantieae, and two (or possibly one) subsequent movements back to the Old World; the latter are required to account for the Old World distribution of Coleotrypinae and Cyanotinae, which are nested within a New World clade. -

Biodiversity in Forests of the Ancient Maya Lowlands and Genetic
Biodiversity in Forests of the Ancient Maya Lowlands and Genetic Variation in a Dominant Tree, Manilkara zapota (Sapotaceae): Ecological and Anthropogenic Implications by Kim M. Thompson B.A. Thomas More College M.Ed. University of Cincinnati A Dissertation submitted to the University of Cincinnati, Department of Biological Sciences McMicken College of Arts and Sciences for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 25, 2013 Committee Chair: David L. Lentz ABSTRACT The overall goal of this study was to determine if there are associations between silviculture practices of the ancient Maya and the biodiversity of the modern forest. This was accomplished by conducting paleoethnobotanical, ecological and genetic investigations at reforested but historically urbanized ancient Maya ceremonial centers. The first part of our investigation was conducted at Tikal National Park, where we surveyed the tree community of the modern forest and recovered preserved plant remains from ancient Maya archaeological contexts. The second set of investigations focused on genetic variation and structure in Manilkara zapota (L.) P. Royen, one of the dominant trees in both the modern forest and the paleoethnobotanical remains at Tikal. We hypothesized that the dominant trees at Tikal would be positively correlated with the most abundant ancient plant remains recovered from the site and that these trees would have higher economic value for contemporary Maya cultures than trees that were not dominant. We identified 124 species of trees and vines in 43 families. Moderate levels of evenness (J=0.69-0.80) were observed among tree species with shared levels of dominance (1-D=0.94). From the paleoethnobotanical remains, we identified a total of 77 morphospecies of woods representing at least 31 plant families with 38 identified to the species level. -
