Como director del museo, es para mí un honor llegar por este medio a aquellas personas e instituciones interesadas en el patrimonio natural y cultural. Este año, el Museo Nacional de Historia Natural celebró su 177° aniversario, lo que por sí solo es ya un gran hito. Las instituciones las hacen las personas y durante su devenir, el museo ha convocado a profesionales, técnicos, administradores y personal auxiliar que ha mostrado gran entrega por la institución, sus colecciones y sus audiencias. Sin ellos, no tendríamos este próspero y demandante presente. Sin embargo, hoy el museo enfrenta uno de sus más grandes desafíos desde su creación, cual es plantearse el o los escenarios de crecimiento (físico, organizacional, de colecciones y de servicios) que le permitan seguir cumpliendo con su misión y sus funciones de mejor manera por los próximos 50 años o más. Es, entonces, el momento de quienes todos los que somos parte del Museo Nacional de Historia Natural, renovemos nuestro compromiso con él y pensemos en su futuro como parte de un país que avanza hacia mayores niveles de complejidad social y cultural. En este contexto, el museo se ha comprometido a entregar a fines del año 2009 su plan maestro de desarrollo a la directora de Bibliotecas, Archivos y Museos, y es hacia esa meta de mediano plazo a la que deberemos dedicar una cantidad importante de recursos de todo tipo. Pero más que nada, necesitaremos buena voluntad, sentido común y grandes sueños. Para los grupos con algún tipo de interés en el museo, incluyendo los lectores de este Boletín, está abierta la posibilidad de participar en este entretenido y desafiante proceso, opinando sobre cómo imaginan el futuro de nuestra institución. En este plano, al momento de imprimirse este Boletín, está en ejecución un estudio de público, el que cual nos proveerá información relevante acerca de qué piensan y esperan del museo distintas audiencias. Por otra parte, una consultoría organizacional, también en pleno desarrollo, permitirá al museo definir un plan estratégico a mediano plazo, el que mediante una posición interna consensuada debiera llevarnos a una buena alineación de intereses, recursos y resultados por los próximos tres o cuatro años. No es una exageración afirmar que el Museo Nacional de Historia Natural está iniciando una etapa crítica y desafiante. Por sobre todo, creo que será un período entretenido y de mucha creatividad para imaginar nuestro futuro. Claudio Gómez P.

ALVARO TOMÉ 1, SEBASTIÁN TEILLIER 1 & RICH HOWORTH 1 Escuela de Ecología y Paisaje, Universidad Central de Chile. Santa Isabel 1186. Santiago de Chile. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] RESUMEN La Reserva Nacional Tamango (ex R.N. Lago Cochrane) se ubica en la comuna de Cochrane, XI Región de Aisén, Chile. Presenta bosques de Nothofagus y estepa patagónica, siendo la razón principal de su establecimiento, la presencia de una población importante de huemules (Hippocamelus bisulcus Molina). En el área de la reserva se llevó a cabo un inventario de la flora vascular en los principales ambientes excepto en la estepa patagónica y en las laderas de exposición norte de los cerros Tamango y Tamanguito. Se registraron 199 especies de plantas vasculares, de ellas el 79,9 % (159) son nativas y el 20,1 % (40) alóctonas asilvestradas. Del total de la flora nativa 4 son endémicas para Chile. El porcentaje de alóctonas sobrepasa la media nacional (12 %), y da cuenta del grado de alteración que han sufrido los bosques de lenga (Nothofagus pumilio) en la zona de Aisén, los que han sido reemplazados, previo incendio, por praderas constituidas principalmente por forrajeras introducidas como pasto miel (Holcus lanatus), pasto ovillo (Dactylis glomerata) y Festuca rubra. Se reporta una especie nueva para Chile: Carex patagonica (Cyperaceae) y tres; Minuartia acutiflora (Caryophyllaceae), Leucheria hahnii (Asteraceae) y Agrostis umbellata (Poaceae) representan nuevos registros para la Región de Aisén. Palabras clave: Flora de Chile, Región de Aisén, Reserva Nacional Tamango. ABSTRACT Flora of Tamango National Reservation, Región de Aisén, Chile.

Pearsall AUGUST 2006 Dedicated to the memory of my grandmother Joanne Marie Higgins 1940-2005 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are a great number of people who have helped in this process in passing or in long, detailed conversations, and everything in between. First and foremost, many thanks to my advisor, Debby Pearsall, for creative and inspired guidance, and for taking the time to talk over everything from the smallest detail to the biggest challenges. Debby introduced me to the world of phytoliths, and then to the wonders of starch grains, and encouraged me to find and pursue the issues that drive me. My committee has been very helpful and patient, and made my oral exams and defense far more enjoyable then expected—Dr. Christine Hastorf, Dr. Bob Benfer, and Dr. Randy Miles. Dr. Benfer was crucial in helping me sort through the statistical applications. I also benefited tremendously from conversations with and advice from my cohorts in the MU Paleoethnobotany lab, or as we are better known, the “Pearsall Youth”— Neil Duncan, Shawn Collins, Meghann O’Brien, Tom Hart, and Nicole Little. Dr. Karol Chandler-Ezell gave me great advice on calcium oxalate and chemical processing. Dr. Todd VanPool graciously provided much needed advice on the statistical applications.

Despite the increasing proportion of protected areas, few have detailed inventories of their biodiversity. This information is essential to define threats and develop long-term • integrated conservation programs to face the effects of global change.

  • 1 a Survey of the Flora of Remnants Within the Waddy
    1 A SURVEY OF THE FLORA OF REMNANTS WITHIN THE WADDY FOREST LAND CONSERVATION DISTRICT Stephen Davies and Phil Ladd for the Waddy Forest Land Conservation District Committee March 2000 2 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 1 METHODS 3 RESULTS 4 DISCUSSION 56 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 59 REFERENCES 60 Appendix 1 - Composite plant list 60 Appendix 2 - Plants found outside the sample sites 67 Appendix 3 - Composite bird list 67 3 INTRODUCTION The Waddy Forest Land Conservation District is about 41,000 hectares and contains 23 substantial land holdings. In 1999 the District received a grant from the National Heritage Trust to survey the flora of its remnant vegetation. Much of this is on private property and the District Committee selected thirty three plots of remnant bushland on private farms to be included in flora survey. The present report is based on visits to these thirty three remnants that lie on 14 of the 23 farms in the district. The surveys are intended to provide information about the biodiversity of the various remnants with the aim of establishing the priority for preservation, by fencing, of the remnants and to determine the value of linking some of them by the planting of corridors of vegetation. At each site the local landholder(s) joined the survey and provided invaluable background information about the history of the remnants. The vegetation of this part of the northern wheatbelt is known to be very diverse. The Marchagee Nature Reserve, lying north west of the District, was surveyed between 1975 and 1977 (Dell et al. 1979). The area was covered by Beard in his vegetation mapping project (Beard 1976), and part of the south of the District was covered in a report on Koobabbie Farm in 1990 (Davies 1990).

Patagonia is a region in the far south of South America which is divided between Chile and Argentina. We toured the Argentine Patagonian province Neuquen travelling around Zapala, Villa Pehuenia, Caviahue and Chos Malal. The landscape in these areas was dry, grassland steppes in the main. However we also saw a wide-range of micro-habitats, due to the different localised conditions. For instance, boggy wetlands caused by snow melt, shady cliff faces, Auracaria forest floors, rocky crevices and pumice-covered cliffs to name a few.

  • Northern Chile
    Northern Chile Deserts & Volcanoes A Greentours Trip Report 9th – 24th November 2015 Led by Chris Gardner Day 1 & 2 To Copiapo I’d arrived in Chile a day earlier to drive up to Copiapo where I met the group and we transferred to our cosy hotel in the town in time for dinner. Day 3 11th November Pan de Azucar The grey cloud gradually gave way to bluer skies as we neared the park having driven along the coast road past several little fishing towns that nestled in rocky bays. Just outside the park proper we stopped for an area of rocky bluffs where multi-headed domes of Copiapoa cineracscens were scattered about along with a few Cristaria sp as a Neotropical Cormorant fishes in the surf that lashed the rocks. We moved onto to an amazing area of cacti with thousands of the same species that dominated an area of gentle slopes forming large domes clusters of heads. After calling in at the park HQ we moved on stopping several times for a succession of interesting desert plants including various Nolana spp., Polyachyrus fuscus with pink spherical inflorescences and orangey Heliotropum linearifolium. By now it was lunchtime and we enjoyed a roadside picnic before exploring once again. This time is was for a remarkable population of Copiapoa cinera ssp. alba which occurred in their hundreds, with a multitude of different shapes and sizes and including at least twenty with little yellow flowers. Further exploration took us across the park to an area with odd pointed domes of Polyachyurus fuscus.

  • Flowering Plants of South Norwood Country Park
    Flowering Plants Of South Norwood Country Park Robert Spencer Introduction South Norwood Country Park relative to its size contains a wide range habitats and as a result a diverse range of plants can be found growing on site. Some of these plants are very conspicuous, growing in great abundance and filling the park with splashes of bright colour with a white period in early May largely as a result of the Cow Parsley, this is followed later in the year by a pink period consisting of mainly Willow herbs. Other plants to be observed are common easily recognisable flowers. However there are a great number of plants growing at South Norwood Country Park that are less well-known or harder to spot, and the casual observer would likely be surprised to learn that 363 species of flowering plants have so far been recorded growing in the park though this number includes invasive species and garden escapes. This report is an update of a report made in 2006, and though the site has changed in the intervening years the management and fundamental nature of the park remains the same. Some plants have diminished and some have flourished and the high level of diversity is still present. Many of these plants are important to other wildlife particularly in their relationship to invertebrate pollinators, and some of these important interactions are referenced in this report. With so many species on the plant list there is a restriction on how much information is given for each species, with some particularly rare or previously observed but now absent plants not included though they appear in the index at the back of the report including when they were last observed.
