Of the associated entomofauna phytophagous beetles (Coleoptera) of various taxonomic groups adapted their life history to this ancient host tree. This occurred either already before the late Gondwanian interruption of the previously joint Araucaria distribution or only later in the already geographically separated populations. A bibliographic survey of the eastern and western coleopterans recorded on Araucaria trees resulted in well over 200 species belonging to 17 families. These studies include records of beetles living on 12 of the 19 extant Araucaria species. Their occurrence and adaptations to the host trees are discussed under aspects of evolution and co- speciation.

Host institution: Graduate School of Environment and Information Sciences at Yokohama National University 5. Host researcher: Pr. Hideaki YOSHITAKE 6. Description of your current research In biological systems, the oxidation of many substrates is selectively carried out by enzyme, whose hydrophobic active center contains generally at least one metal atom. The objective of my thesis consists in the creation of "bio-inspired" heterogeneous catalysts for selective oxidation reactions. Their design is based on copper enzymes such as Tyrosinase taken as bio-models. The molecular confinement and the hydrophobic nature of the metal site environment are created i) using inorganic materials with narrow pore size distribution in the nanometer scale range, ii) grafting hydrophobic functions and also chelating functions to bind copper inside the pores. MCM-41 type mesoporous silicas were selected for several reasons. This material possesses a large specific surface area (1000 m2.g-1) allowing to reach high site concentration and is handled easily in various spectroscopic experiments, including solid state NMR. The hexagonal array of pores allows a fine monitoring of the support integrity during all the synthesis steps. The narrow pore size distribution tunable in the 2-4 nm range will define a homogeneous confinement effect. Moreover, the silanol groups of the surface of the pores allow the grafting of different functions: hydrophobic or polar and/or chelating.

  • Systematics and Evolution of New Caledonian Araucaria
    Systematics and Evolution of New Caledonian Araucaria A thesis submitted to the University of Edinburgh for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Mai-lan Kranitz PhD thesis The University of Edinburgh September 2005 ABSTRACT New Caledonia is a global biodiversity hotspot and contains more than 2300 endemic species including 7% of the world’s conifers. No other region in the world with such a small area possesses such a rich and distinctive conifer flora, and 13 of the world’s 19 Araucaria species are endemic to New Caledonia. This thesis has investigated the evolution and systematics of this group. A molecular phylogenetic study based on sequence data from two chloroplast regions resolved all 13 New Caledonian species as a monophyletic group, sister to the Norfolk Island Pine ( A. heterophylla ). The relationships between the New Caledonian species was not fully resolved as little sequence variability was detected, however, three main groups were defined. The species with bigger leaves occupied a basal polytomy, whereas the vast majority of species with smaller leaves were grouped together in a clade. Within this ‘small leaved’ clade, the three New Caledonian species with a coastal distribution formed another monophyletic group. The timing of the radiation of all these species was tested via a molecular clock approach using different calibration tools (fossil data, geological events, substitution rates). The precise dating of the New Caledonian radiation remains uncertain because different calibration methods give different dates. However, it seems likely to have occurred between 10 and 43 mya . What can be said is that the limited sequence divergence between these species (which in other groups would be typical of <3 million years divergence), does not tally with the fossil record and geological events.

  • Pinus Serotina (Pond Pine) Is a Tree of the Southeastern Coastal Plain of United States
    PinusPinus serotinaserotina pondpond pinepine by Dr. Kim D. Coder, Professor of Tree Biology & Health Care Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources Pinus serotina (pond pine) is a tree of the Southeastern Coastal Plain of United States. It was first described as a species in 1803. Historically this tree has been taxonomically associated with pitch pine Pinus rigida. Other scientific names for this tree have been Pinus rigida var. serotina (1868) and Pinus rigida subs. serotina (1939). The scientific name means a “pine with late opening cones.” Other common names include swamp pine, marsh pine, bay pine, flatwoods pine, and pocosin pine. Pinus serotina grows along the Coastal Plain from Southern New Jersey into central Florida and central Alabama. In Georgia, pond pine grows below the fall line. See Georgia range map figure. Pinus serotina grows in bogs, moving water swamps, flatwoods, savannahs, and low scrub areas including poorly drained wetland sites with widely fluctuating water tables. Unlike many other pines, pond pine tolerates and reproduces in areas with high organic matter contents. Site drainage shifts species regen- eration toward loblolly pine. Pond pine is fire tolerant and sprouts after fire damage, but is disfigured by hot fires. Pinus serotina is a medium sized tree 40-65 feet tall (maximum of 90 feet). It grows to a diam- eter of 1-2.2 feet (maximum of 3 feet). Crown form is irregular, ragged, and thin, with many tufts of needles sprouting on stems. Crown shape is usually flat-topped with many stubby and gnarled branches among longer branches. Cones held for many years lead to the appearance of a cone-crowded crown.

Thus, it is essential to quantify how forest structure is determined by environmental factors over the range of subalpine zone for better management planning. We investigated the subalpine forest dominated by Abies spectabilis in Langtang National Park, Nepal Himalaya, by setting 80 plots of 10-by-10 m scattered over the range of subalpine forest from 3170 to 3810 m a.s.l. on a north-facing slope, and examined the relationship between topographic factors (e.g. altitude and slope inclination), anthropogenic factors (e.g. number of cut stumps and trampling intensity), and forest stand variables (e.g.
