The Potential for Harvesting Fruits in Tropical Rainforests: New Data from Amazonian Peru
Biodiversity and Conversation 2, 18-38 The potential for harvesting fruits in tropical rainforests: new data from Amazonian Peru OLIVER PHILLIPS* Department Of' Biology, Washington University, Campus Box 1137, 1 Brookings Drive, St Louis, MO 63130- 4899, USA Received 28 January 1992; accepted 18 February 1992 New data shows that edible fruit and nut production in Amazonian forests is substantially lower than most conservationists assume. Direct measures of production in Amazonian Peru show that two terra firrna forest types produced significantly less edible fruit than an alluvial soil forest. Swamp forest produced more edible fruit than any other forest type measured. Palms produce 60% of edible fruit productivity, averaged over three forest types, but the most preferred palm fruits are difficult to harvest because they are borne too high for easy access by collectors. Forest fruit collection in Amazonia is less productive in the short-term than all other food-producing activities except for hunting and cattle ranching. Technological, social and political changes are essential so that sustainable but intrinsically low-yielding extractive activities like fruit collecting become more attractive to Amazonians. Keywords: harvesting; rainforest; fruit and nut; Amazonian Peru Introduction In the last five years, there has been growing interest in the promise of sustained-yield collection of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) from tropical forests as an alternative to deforestation. The broad range of NTFPs harvested by forest-dwelling people includes medicinals, fruits, and industrial materials such as rubber and rattan. Potentially, the combined value of such prodcuts, available year-after-year on a sustainable basis, may make NTFP collection an attractive alternative to destructive uses of tropical forests (e.g. -
Links Between Biodiversity Conservation, Livelihoods and Food Security: the Sustainable Use of Wild Species for Meat
Links between Biodiversity Conservation, L IUCN Species Survival Commission The IUCN Species Survival Commission The Species Survival Commission (SSC) is one of six volunteer commissions of IUCN – The World Conservation Union, a union of sovereign states, government agencies and non- governmental organisations. IUCN has three basic conservation objectives: to secure the conservation of nature, and especially of biological diversity, as an essential foundation for the Links between Biodiversity future; to ensure that where the earth’s natural resources are used this is done in a wise, equitable and sustainable way; and to guide the development of human communities towards ways of life that are both of good quality and in enduring harmony with other components of the Conservation, Livelihoods biosphere. Avolunteer network comprised of some 7,000 scientists, field researchers, government officials and Food Security and conservation leaders from nearly every country of the world, the SSC membership is an unmatched source of information about biological diversity and its conservation. As such, SSC members provide technical and scientific counsel for conservation projects throughout the world and serve as resources to governments, international conventions and conservation The sustainable use of organisations. wild species for meat SSC Occasional Papers cover a broad range of subjects including conservation of groups of species in a particular geographical region, wildlife trade issues, and proceedings of workshops. IUCN/SSC also publishes an Action Plan series that assesses the conservation status of species and their habitats, and specifies conservation priorities. The series is one of ivelihoods and F Sue Mainka and Mandar Trivedi the world’s most authoritative sources of species conservation information available to natural Editors resource managers, conservationists and government officials around the world. -

Peru: from the Cusco Andes to the Manu
The critically endangered Royal Cinclodes - our bird-of-the-trip (all photos taken on this tour by Pete Morris) PERU: FROM THE CUSCO ANDES TO THE MANU 26 JULY – 12 AUGUST 2017 LEADERS: PETE MORRIS and GUNNAR ENGBLOM This brand new itinerary really was a tour of two halves! For the frst half of the tour we really were up on the roof of the world, exploring the Andes that surround Cusco up to altitudes in excess of 4000m. Cold clear air and fantastic snow-clad peaks were the order of the day here as we went about our task of seeking out a number of scarce, localized and seldom-seen endemics. For the second half of the tour we plunged down off of the mountains and took the long snaking Manu Road, right down to the Amazon basin. Here we traded the mountainous peaks for vistas of forest that stretched as far as the eye could see in one of the planet’s most diverse regions. Here, the temperatures rose in line with our ever growing list of sightings! In all, we amassed a grand total of 537 species of birds, including 36 which provided audio encounters only! As we all know though, it’s not necessarily the shear number of species that counts, but more the quality, and we found many high quality species. New species for the Birdquest life list included Apurimac Spinetail, Vilcabamba Thistletail, Am- pay (still to be described) and Vilcabamba Tapaculos and Apurimac Brushfnch, whilst other montane goodies included the stunning Bearded Mountaineer, White-tufted Sunbeam the critically endangered Royal Cinclodes, 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Peru: From the Cusco Andes to The Manu 2017 www.birdquest-tours.com These wonderful Blue-headed Macaws were a brilliant highlight near to Atalaya. -
The Relationship Between Anisosperma and Fevillea (Cucurbitaceae), and a New Species of Fevillea from Bolivia
Systematic Botany (2009), 34(4): pp. 704–708 © Copyright 2009 by the American Society of Plant Taxonomists The Relationship Between Anisosperma and Fevillea (Cucurbitaceae), and a New Species of Fevillea from Bolivia Michael Nee, 1 , 4 Hanno Schaefer, 2 and Susanne S. Renner 3 1 Institute of Systematic Botany, New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, New York 10458 U.S.A. 2 Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Imperial College London, Silwood Park Campus, Ascot, SL5 7PY, U.K. 3 Systematic Botany, University of Munich, Menzinger Strasse 67, D-80638 Munich, Germany 4 Author for correspondence ( [email protected] ) Communicating Editor: Andrea Schwarzbach Abstract— We describe and illustrate the new species Fevillea anomalosperma from the semideciduous forests of northwestern Bolivia. Analysis of chloroplast DNA sequences representing most genera of Cucurbitaceae, including Fevillea with four of its seven species, supports placing the new species in Fevillea despite its small (10–11.5 × 7.5–10 mm, 2–3 mm thick), flattened, and highly sculptured seeds, which are unusual in the genus. The molecular phylogeny also revealed that the recent sinking of the monotypic genus Anisosperma into Fevillea is not justified. Resumen— Se ilustra y describe Fevillea anomalsperma , una nueva especie de los boques semi-deciduos del noroeste de Bolivia. Aunque las hojas y las flores son típicas de Fevillea , las semillas pequeñas (10–11.5 x 7.5–10 mm, 2–3 mm de grueso), aplanadas y muy esculpidas de esta nueva especie no lo son. La posición de esta nueva especie dentro de Fevillea ha sido apoyado por análisis filogenéticos de secuencias de ADN del cloroplasto, en los cuales se ha incluido representantes de la mayoría de los géneros de Cucurbitaceae, junto con quatro especies de Fevillea . -

Este Código se aplica por igual a los nombres de grupos taxonómicos tratados como algas, hongos y plantas, hayan sido o no considerados así originalmente (véase el Pre. 8). Principio II: La aplicación de los nombres de los grupos taxonómicos se determina por medio de los tipos nomenclaturales. Principio III: La nomenclatura de un grupo taxonómico se basa en la prioridad de la publicación. Principio IV: Cada grupo taxonómico con circunscripción, posición y rango particulares puede llevar solo un nombre correcto, el más antiguo que esté de acuerdo con las reglas, excepto en casos determinados. Principio V: Los nombres científicos de los grupos taxonómicos se consideran latinos, sin reparar en su origen.
