Biodiversity Data Journal 9: e63634. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.9.e63634 Abstract Background Species lists are fundamental for knowledge of species diversity in regions subject to intense anthropogenic pressure, especially in poorly-studied ecosystems. The dataset comes from an inventory conducted in 30 fragments of Myrtaceae swamp forest, located in an agroforestry matrix landscape of the coastal La Araucanía Region in Chile. The data collection was carried out using line transect sampling, which was traced through the core of each fragment orientated towards its longest axis. The dataset provides a record of 55 species (24 trees, 1 vine [as a host], 16 herbs and 15 shrubs) including accidental epiphytes (n = 7), hemiparasites (n = 4), host (n = 10) and additionally woody debris (n = 36). The most frequent trees in the landscape were Myrceugenia exsucca (n = 36 records) and Blepharocalyx cruckshanksii (n = 33 records), species that were also the most common hosts. -

Evolution of Pollination by Frugivorous Birds in Neotropical Myrtaceae
Evolution of pollination by frugivorous birds in Neotropical Myrtaceae María Gabriela Nadra1,2, Norberto Pedro Giannini1,3, Juan Manuel Acosta2 and Lone Aagesen2 1 Unidad Ejecutora Lillo (UEL), CONICET-FML, San Miguel de Tucumán, Tucumán, Argentina 2 Instituto de Botánica Darwinion (IBODA), CONICET-ANCEFN, San Isidro, Buenos Aires, Argentina 3 Facultad de Ciencias Naturales e IML, Universidad Nacional de Tucumán, San Miguel deTucumán, Tucumán, Argentina ABSTRACT Bird pollination is relatively common in the tropics, and especially in the Americas. In the predominantly Neotropical tribe Myrteae (Myrtaceae), species of two genera, Acca and Myrrhinium, offer fleshy, sugary petals to the consumption of birds that otherwise eat fruits, thus pollinating the plants in an unusual plant-animal interaction. The phylogenetic position of these genera has been problematic, and therefore, so was the understanding of the evolution of this interaction. Here we include new sequences of Myrrhinium atropurpureum in a comprehensive molecular phylogeny based on a balanced sample of two plastid and two nuclear markers, with the aim of providing the historical framework of pollination by frugivorous birds in Myrteae. We developed 13 flower and inflorescence characters that comprehensively depict the macroscopic morphological components of this interaction. Bayesian and parsimony phylogenies concur in placing both Acca and Myrrhinium in a clade with Psidium species; with Myrrhinium sister to Psidium. Mapping of morphological characters indicated some degree of convergence (e.g., fleshy petals, purplish display) but also considerable divergence in key characters that point to rather opposing pollination strategies and also different degrees of specialization in Acca versus Myrrhinium. Pollination by frugivorous birds represents a special case of mutualism that highlights the evolutionary complexities of plant-animal interactions. -

The distinctions between Myrciaria vs. Plinia, and Neomitranthes vs. Siphoneugena, have been based on a few fruit characters. The wood anatomy of 24 species of these genera was examined to determine if wood anatomical features could help delimit the genera. It was determined the four genera cannot reliably be separated by wood anatomy alone. Characteristics seen in all four genera are: growth rings usually poorly-defined; diffuse porous; exclusively solitary vessels, usually circular -

Morphological Homogeneity, Phylogenetic Heterogeneity and Systematic Complexity in Species-Rich Groups: a Case Study of Floral Evolution in Myrteae (Myrtaceae)
Morphological homogeneity, phylogenetic heterogeneity and systematic complexity in species-rich groups: a case study of floral evolution in Myrteae (Myrtaceae) Thais Nogales da Costa Vasconcelos University College London (‘UCL’) A thesis submitted as part of the requirements for a PhD degree in Systematics and Evolutionary Biology Research Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment - University College London Comparative Plant and Fungal Biology Department – Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew 1 ‘ I, Thais Nogales da Costa Vasconcelos, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis.' __________________________ ABSTRACT Myrteae is the most diverse tribe in the species-rich angiosperm family Myrtaceae. Myrteae species play a critical ecological role in tropical forests and savannas, biomes with some of the highest biodiversity on earth. Hence there is a growing interest in its use as a model for evolutionary, ecological and conservation studies. However, morphologically homogeneous reproductive structures cause taxonomic instability and jeopardize modelling and conservation initiatives. This study demonstrates how evolutionary patterns are underpinned by floral traits in Myrteae. Aims are approached using combined phylogenetic and morphological analyses in two work packages (WP): WP1 increases understanding of systematics and floral evolution in Myrteae based on multiloci molecular matrices for a near complete generic sample. The framework is used to interpret biogeography, diversification and over-arching patterns of floral morphology and development; data are reciprocally combined to illuminate those processes. WP2 presents four case studies using floral development and multidimensional trait analysis to address questions related to systematic complexity, phylogenetic heterogeneity and theoretical cladistics concepts, such as evolution of homoplastic traits. -

All molecular analyses support the hypothesis that Myrceugenia is monophyletic, except Keywords: for M. fernadeziana that falls outside the genus. Chilean species and Brazilian species form two separate Blepharocalyx lineages. Chilean species form three early diverging clades, whereas Brazilian species are a strongly sup- cpDNA ETS ported monophyletic group in a terminal position. Least average evolutionary divergence, low resolution, ITS short branches, and high species diversity found in the Brazilian clade suggest rapid radiation.
