We distributed survey units (2,000 m² quadrats) along an altitudinal gradient and surveyed all individuals with DBH ≥ 10 cm, which composed the arboreal component. In smaller quadrats (250 m²), we surveyed regeneration individuals. The community at 800 and 900 m a.s.l. shows typical characteristics of Montane forest in an advanced successional stage, and the abundance of Ocotea catharinensis is its main indicator. At 1,000 and 1,100 m a.s.l., the forest is characterized as Montane with short stature in an advanced successional stage, with the occurrence of typical upper montane species such as O. porosa and O. vaccinioides.

China Abstract Histocytological studies were conducted on primary, secondary, and malformed embryos produced during somatic embryogenesis of Cinnamomum camphora L. to better understand its development. Exploring its callus types and structures provided a theoretical basis for clarifying the mechanism of somatic embryogenesis, which may shed light on the mechanism of zygotic embryogenesis. We used immature zygotic embryos as explants to induce somatic embryos, forming many embryogenic calli that differentiated into mature somatic embryos. Our results showed that somatic embryogenesis of C. camphora was similar to that of zygotic embryos. We have been dedifferentiated four types of callus. Compared with non-embryogenic cells, embryogenic cells had a closer arrangement, larger nucleus, thicker cytoplasm, more starch granules and easier to stain into black. Somatic embryogenesis had two pathways: direct (predominate) and indirect (rare). Embryogenic cells of C. camphora could have either an internal or external origin, the latter being primary, for which occurrence sites include epidermis and near- epidermis (little internally). Mostly arising from single cells, C. camphora follows two developmental pathways: single-cell equal as opposed to unequal, wherein both divide to form multi-cell proembryos.

  • Threatened Birds of the Americas
    WHITE-WINGED GUAN Penelope albipennis E1 Discovered in dry north-westernmost Peru in 1876 and generally presumed extinct for a century thereafter, this guan is now known from a small number of dry wooded valleys in the Andean foothills of Peru (chiefly in Lambayeque), where it numbers possibly less than a hundred individuals and is seriously endangered by forest clearance. DISTRIBUTION The White-winged Guan is restricted to a small area of north-west Peru, although the exact extent of its distribution there remains to be clarified; that it might or does occur in adjacent Ecuador is dealt with in the last paragraph in this section. The species was originally described from a specimen collected in December 1876 on Condesa island, 3°31’S 80°29’W, in the Santa Lucia swamps of the Tumbes river delta, Tumbes, and a second specimen was obtained a month later, January 1877, at the Hacienda Pabur, 5°15’S 80°20’W, 200 km to the south and 130 km inland, in Piura, while a third specimen from the same locality is believed to be the live-caught offspring of the second (Taczanowski 1877, 1884-1886, Vaurie 1966b, de Macedo 1978, 1979). At the time of its first discovery, the species was reported at second-hand to inhabit mangroves at the mouth of the Zarumilla (“Zurumilla”) on the border with Ecuador, and to be found in all the larger river valleys of western Peru as far south as the Chicama in La Libertad (but there was no sight record from there, contra Meyer de Schauensee 1966), in particular those at Lambayeque and “Nancho (Rio de Saña)” in adjacent Cajamarca (Taczanowski 1884-1886).

  • Atlantic Forest Southeast Reserves
    WHC Nomination Documentation File Name: 893.pdf UNESCO Region: LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEANS __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Atlantic Forest Southeast Reserves DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 4th December 1999 STATE PARTY: BRAZIL CRITERIA: N(ii)(iii)(iv) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 23rd Session of the World Heritage Committee IUCN informed the Committee that the evaluation of this property has been undertaken based on the revised nomination submitted by the State Party in April 1999. The Atlantic Forest Southeast Reserves contain the best and largest remaining examples of Atlantic forest in the Southeast region of Brazil. The 25 protected areas that make up the site display the biological richness and evolutionary history of the few remaining areas of Atlantic forest of Southeast Brazil. The area is also exceptionally diverse with high numbers of rare and endemic species. With its "mountains to the sea" attitudinal gradient, its estuary, wild rivers, karst and numerous waterfalls, the site also has exceptional scenic values. The Committee decided to inscribe the site under natural criteria (ii), (iii) and (iv). It also recommended that the State Party should be encouraged to restore natural conditions in the Serra do Mar State Park, which potentially could be incorporated in the site. The Delegate of Morocco noted the values of the site but highlighted the challenges of the management of serial sites. The Delegate of Australia noted that management in serial sites is complex but can be done with careful strategic planning and an appropriate legal framework. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS The Atlantic Forest Southeast Reserves in the states of Parana and Sao Paolo, contain some of the best and largest examples of Atlantic forest in Brazil.

Special thanks go to Phil McGowan at the World Pheasant Association and to Marianne, Robyn and Kate at the BP Conservation Programme whose help and patience have been invaluable throughout. Project Pawi was only possible because of the generosity, support and encouragement of a large number of people within Trinidad itself, to whom we are very grateful. The team would particularly like to thank the members of the Pawi Study Group, tirelessly led by John and Margaret Cooper, for their practical help, thoughtful discussions and friendship. On ecological matters the guidance and expertise of Adrian Hailey and Howard Nelson was greatly appreciated. Grande Riviere has been at the heart of efforts to study the Pawi for many years, and once again played a central role in our project. We are indebted to owners of the Grande Riviere house for their generosity in allowing us to use the site as our base. The team would especially like to thank the guides of the Grande Riviere Nature Tour Guide Association and Mr Guy for their help and friendship. We are very grateful for the practical support provided by the University of the West Indies, Asa Wright, the Forestry Department, the Wildlife Section and the National Parks Section.

Caixa Postal 3203, Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, CEP 78060‐970, Brazil 3Laboratório de Ornitologia, Instituto de Biociências, Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso, CEP 78060‐900, Cuiabá, MT, Brazil E‐mail: Juliana Bonanomi ∙ [email protected] ABSTRACT ∙ There is limited information regarding cases of aberrant plumage in Cracidae. Here we present the first record of aberrant plumage in the White‐throated Piping‐guan (Pipile grayi). The individual with aberrant plumage was predominantly white‐colored, but with pale cream underparts. Unfeathered body parts like the fleshy wattle, bill, and tarsus had pink color. Based on these characteristics we conclude that it likely constitutes a case of “Ino‐light” mutation. RESUMO ∙ Plumagem aberrante em Jacutinga‐de‐barbela‐branca (Pipile grayi Pelzeln, 1870, Cracidae) Informações referentes a aberrações na coloração de plumagem são limitadas. Nesta comunicação breve apresenta‐ mos o primeiro registro de coloração aberrante de plumagem de Jacutinga‐de‐barbela‐branca (Pipile grayi). O indi‐ víduo apresentou plumagem com coloração predominantemente branca, com as partes inferiores com coloração creme. Outras partes do corpo, como barbela, bico e tarso apresentaram coloração rosada. Através destas caracterís‐ ticas fenotípicas e utilizando‐se de chaves de identificação para mutação de plumagem em aves disponíveis na litera‐ tura é suscetível que esta aberração se trate de um caso de mutação “Ino‐light”.
