  • Maintaining and Improving Habitat for Hummingbirds in Oklahoma and Texas
    United States Department of Agriculture Maintaining and Improving Habitat for Hummingbirds in Oklahoma and Texas A Land Manager’s Guide Forest Service National Headquarters Introduction Hummingbirds play an important role in the food web, pollinating a variety of flowering plants, some of which are specifically adapted to pollination by hummingbirds. Some hummingbirds are at risk, like other pollinators, due to habitat loss, changes in the distribution and abundance of nectar plants (which are affected by climate change), the spread of invasive Anna’s Hummingbird Nest plants, and pesticide use. This guide is intended to Courtesy of Steve Berardi Wikimedia Commons help you provide and improve habitat for humming- birds, as well as other pollinators, in Oklahoma and Texas. While hummingbirds, like all birds, have the basic habitat needs of food, water, shelter, and space, this guide is focused on providing food—the plants that provide nectar for hummingbirds. Because climate, geology, and vegetation vary widely in different areas, specific recommenda- tions are presented for each ecoregion in Oklahoma and Texas. (See the Ecoregions in Oklahoma and Texas section, below.) This guide also provides brief descriptions of the species that visit Oklahoma and Texas, as well as some basic information about hummingbird habitat needs. Whether you’re involved in managing public or private lands, large acreages or small areas, you can make them attractive to our native hummingbirds. Even long, narrow pieces of habitat, like utility corridors, field edges, and roadsides, can provide important connections among larger habitat areas. Hummingbird Basics Some of the hummingbird species of Okla- homa and Texas are migratory, generally wintering in Mexico and southern Texas and pushing northward through Nevada and California for summer breeding.

Powers Introduction Rivoli's Hummingbird was named in honor of the Duke of Rivoli when the species was described by René Lesson in 1829 (1). Even when it became known that William Swainson had written an earlier description of this species in 1827, the common name Rivoli's Hummingbird remained until the early 1980s, when it was changed to Magnificent Hummingbird. In 2017, however, the name was restored to Rivoli's Hummingbird when the American Ornithological Society officially recognized Eugenes fulgens as a distinct species from E. spectabilis, the Talamanca Hummingbird, of the highlands of Costa Rica and western Panama (2).

    ATOLL RESEARCH BULLETIN NO. 503 THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF MAJURO ATOLL, REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS BY NANCY VANDER VELDE ISSUED BY NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION WASHINGTON, D.C., U.S.A. AUGUST 2003 Uliga Figure 1. Majuro Atoll THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF MAJURO ATOLL, REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS ABSTRACT Majuro Atoll has been a center of activity for the Marshall Islands since 1944 and is now the major population center and port of entry for the country. Previous to the accompanying study, no thorough documentation has been made of the vascular plants of Majuro Atoll. There were only reports that were either part of much larger discussions on the entire Micronesian region or the Marshall Islands as a whole, and were of a very limited scope. Previous reports by Fosberg, Sachet & Oliver (1979, 1982, 1987) presented only 115 vascular plants on Majuro Atoll. In this study, 563 vascular plants have been recorded on Majuro. INTRODUCTION The accompanying report presents a complete flora of Majuro Atoll, which has never been done before. It includes a listing of all species, notation as to origin (i.e. indigenous, aboriginal introduction, recent introduction), as well as the original range of each. The major synonyms are also listed. For almost all, English common names are presented. Marshallese names are given, where these were found, and spelled according to the current spelling system, aside from limitations in diacritic markings. A brief notation of location is given for many of the species. The entire list of 563 plants is provided to give the people a means of gaining a better understanding of the nature of the plants of Majuro Atoll.

  • Nectar Robbers and Hummingbirds in a Highland Forest in Mexico
    Color profile: Generic CMYK printer profile Composite Default screen 997 Multiple ecological interactions: nectar robbers and hummingbirds in a highland forest in Mexico María del Coro Arizmendi Abstract: Nectar robbers are animals that extract the nectar produced by plants without effecting pollination. These animals can have negative, positive, or neutral effects on the interaction, depending on the direct and indirect effects of each participant in the system. The purpose of this work was to analyze the prevalence of nectar robbing and its tem- poral dynamics in a tropical highland forest in western Mexico. The system was studied in terms of the seasonal changes in (i) specific composition and abundance of hummingbird pollinators, their hosts, and the nectar robbers, (ii) use of resources by the nectarivorous birds and flowers, and (iii) prevalence of flower piercing by the cinnamon flowerpiercer, Diglossa baritula. The guild consisted of 17 species of hummingbirds, 2 species of nectar robbers, and 21 plant species that were visited by nectarivorous birds (robbers and pollinators). The relative abundance of birds and available flowers showed two peaks, one in winter and the other in the rainy season. Some plant species were used more than expected from their abundance. Overlap in the use of flowers among hummingbirds and also between hum- mingbirds and the nectar robbers was high. Nectar robbing was found to be widespread, occurring in almost all of the plants known to be hummingbird pollinated. The ratio of hummingbirds to nectar robbers was around 10 throughout the year. Résumé : Les voleurs de nectar sont des animaux qui extraient le nectar des plantes sans participer à leur pollinisation.

  • Healing Efficacy of Methanol Extract of Leaves of Alternanthera Brasiliana
    Original Article Healing effi cacy of methanol extract of leaves of Alternanthera brasiliana Kuntze in aged wound model ABSTRACT The methanol extract of Alternanthera brasiliana Kuntze (Family: Amaranthaceae) leaf was investigated for its wound healing effect by excision wound model (in vivo) in aged Sprague Dawley rats. In excision wound model, compared to the control group, percent contraction of wound was signiicantly (P < 0.01) higher in A. brasiliana- treated group (5% w/w ointment). The collagen, elastin, and hydroxyproline contents of the granulation tissue of A. brasiliana-treated group increased signiicantly (P < 0.01) compared to the control group, indicating better wound healing activity of the test plant. These indings were also conirmed by histopathological examination. The results suggested that methanol extract of A. brasiliana possesses signiicant wound healing potential in aged animal wound model. Key words: Alternanthera brasiliana, excision wound, incision wound, wound healing Introduction induced lymphocyte proliferation without any toxic effect.[6] Wound healing is a complex phenomenon that results in In our earlier study on the wound healing activity of A. brasiliana restoration of anatomic continuity and function, accomplished using excision and incision wound model (in vivo) in normal by several processes which involve different phases including Sprague Dawley rats and in chorioallantoic membrane model inflammation, granulation, fibrogenesis, neo-vascularization, (in vitro) in 9-day-old embryonated chicken eggs, promising [1] wound contraction, and epithelization. The floral richness wound healing activity was reported.[7] Therefore, this study of the North-East region cannot be neglected in context to its investigates the healing efficacy of A. brasiliana in excision medicinal importance.
