PhytoKeys 29: 17–61. doi: 10.3897/phytokeys.29.4937 This paper is dedicated to the late Harry Luther, a world leader in bromeliad research. Abstract An updated inventory of the Bromeliaceae for Costa Rica is presented including citations of representa- tive specimens for each species. The family comprises 18 genera and 198 species in Costa Rica, 32 spe- cies being endemic to the country. Additional 36 species are endemic to Costa Rica and Panama. Only 4 of the 8 bromeliad subfamilies occur in Costa Rica, with a strong predominance of Tillandsioideae (7 genera/150 spp.; 75.7% of all bromeliad species in Costa Rica). -

Michael A. Crimmins Theresa M. Mau-Crimmins Climate Variability and Plant Response at the Santa Rita Experimental Range, Arizona Abstract: Climatic variability is reflected in differential establishment, persistence, and spread of plant species. Although studies have investigated these relationships for some species and functional groups, few have attempted to characterize the specific sequences of climatic conditions at various temporal scales (subseasonal, seasonal, and interannual) associated with proliferation of particular species. Research has primarily focused on the climate conditions concurrent with or occurring just prior to a vegetation response. However, the cumulative effect of antecedent conditions taking place for several consecutive seasons may have a greater influence on plant growth. In this study, we tested whether the changes in overall cover of plant species can be explained by antecedent climate conditions. Temperature, precipitation, and Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) values at various lags were correlated with cover. PDSI had the strongest correlations for several drought-intolerant species at lags up to six seasons prior to the sampling date. Precipita- tion, surprisingly, did not correlate with species cover as strongly as PDSI. This is attributed to PDSI capturing soil moisture conditions, which are important to plant growth, better than raw precipi- tation measurements. Temperature correlations were weak and possessed little explanatory power as predictors of species cover. Acknowledgments: Data sets were provided by the Santa Rita Experimental Range Digital Database. Funding for the digitization of these data was provided by the USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station and the University of Arizona.

Responses of Plant Communities to Grazing in the Southwestern United States Department of Agriculture United States Forest Service
Responses of Plant Communities to Grazing in the Southwestern United States Department of Agriculture United States Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station Daniel G. Milchunas General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-169 April 2006 Milchunas, Daniel G. 2006. Responses of plant communities to grazing in the southwestern United States. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-169. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 126 p. Abstract Grazing by wild and domestic mammals can have small to large effects on plant communities, depend- ing on characteristics of the particular community and of the type and intensity of grazing. The broad objective of this report was to extensively review literature on the effects of grazing on 25 plant commu- nities of the southwestern U.S. in terms of plant species composition, aboveground primary productiv- ity, and root and soil attributes. Livestock grazing management and grazing systems are assessed, as are effects of small and large native mammals and feral species, when data are available. Emphasis is placed on the evolutionary history of grazing and productivity of the particular communities as deter- minants of response. After reviewing available studies for each community type, we compare changes in species composition with grazing among community types. Comparisons are also made between southwestern communities with a relatively short history of grazing and communities of the adjacent Great Plains with a long evolutionary history of grazing. Evidence for grazing as a factor in shifts from grasslands to shrublands is considered. An appendix outlines a new community classification system, which is followed in describing grazing impacts in prior sections. -

Tree and Tree-Like Species of Mexico: Asteraceae, Leguminosae, and Rubiaceae
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad 84: 439-470, 2013 Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad 84: 439-470, 2013 DOI: 10.7550/rmb.32013 DOI: 10.7550/rmb.32013439 Tree and tree-like species of Mexico: Asteraceae, Leguminosae, and Rubiaceae Especies arbóreas y arborescentes de México: Asteraceae, Leguminosae y Rubiaceae Martin Ricker , Héctor M. Hernández, Mario Sousa and Helga Ochoterena Herbario Nacional de México, Departamento de Botánica, Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Apartado postal 70- 233, 04510 México D. F., Mexico. [email protected] Abstract. Trees or tree-like plants are defined here broadly as perennial, self-supporting plants with a total height of at least 5 m (without ascending leaves or inflorescences), and with one or several erect stems with a diameter of at least 10 cm. We continue our compilation of an updated list of all native Mexican tree species with the dicotyledonous families Asteraceae (36 species, 39% endemic), Leguminosae with its 3 subfamilies (449 species, 41% endemic), and Rubiaceae (134 species, 24% endemic). The tallest tree species reach 20 m in the Asteraceae, 70 m in the Leguminosae, and also 70 m in the Rubiaceae. The species-richest genus is Lonchocarpus with 67 tree species in Mexico. Three legume genera are endemic to Mexico (Conzattia, Hesperothamnus, and Heteroflorum). The appendix lists all species, including their original publication, references of taxonomic revisions, existence of subspecies or varieties, maximum height in Mexico, and endemism status. Key words: biodiversity, flora, tree definition. Resumen. Las plantas arbóreas o arborescentes se definen aquí en un sentido amplio como plantas perennes que se pueden sostener por sí solas, con una altura total de al menos 5 m (sin considerar hojas o inflorescencias ascendentes) y con uno o varios tallos erectos de un diámetro de al menos 10 cm. -
An Alphabetical List of Bromeliad Binomials
AN ALPHABETICAL LIST OF BROMELIAD BINOMIALS Compiled by HARRY E. LUTHER The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens Sarasota, Florida, USA ELEVENTH EDITION Published by the Bromeliad Society International June 2008 ii INTRODUCTION TO EDITION XI This list is presented as a spelling guide for validly published taxa accepted at the Bromeliad Identification Center. The list contains the following information: 1) Genus number (the left-hand number) based on the systematic sequence published in the Smith & Downs monograph: Bromeliaceae (Flora Neotropica, number 14, parts 1-3; 1974, 1977, 1979). Whole numbers are as published in the monograph. 2) Species number (the second number) according to its systematic position in the monograph. Note: Taxa not included in the monograph or that have been reclassified have been assigned numbers to reflect their systematic position within the Smith & Downs framework (e.g., taxon 14.1 is related to taxon 14). The utility of this method is that one may assume for example that Tillandsia comarapaensis (150.2) is related to T. didisticha (150) and therefore may have certain horticultural qualities in common with that species. 3) Genus and species names follow the respective numbers. 4) Subspecific taxa (subspecies, varieties, forms) names are indented below the species names. Note: Variety "a" (the type variety) is not listed unless it contains a form (see Aechmea caudata ). Similarly, the type form is not listed. 5) Author name follows the specific and subspecific names. These names are included for the convenience of specialist users of the list. This list does not contain publication data or synonymy, as it is not our intent for it to be a technical nomenclatural guide. -
Evolutionary Consequences of Dioecy in Angiosperms: the Effects of Breeding System on Speciation and Extinction Rates

The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada http://www.library.ubc.ca/spcoll/thesauth.html ABSTRACT Dioecy, the breeding system with male and female function on separate individuals, may affect the ability of a lineage to avoid extinction or speciate. Dioecy is a rare breeding system among the angiosperms (approximately 6% of all flowering plants) while hermaphroditism (having male and female function present within each flower) is predominant. Dioecious angiosperms may be rare because the transitions to dioecy have been recent or because dioecious angiosperms experience decreased diversification rates (speciation minus extinction) compared to plants with other breeding systems. -
