Assessment Information Red List Category & Criteria: Least Concern ver 3.1 Year Published: 2013 Date Assessed: April 29, 2009 Justification: Mammillaria mystax has a relatively wide range and is locally abundant. Although there are threats in places, these are not sufficient to warrant any concern. Hence, it is listed as Least Concern. Geographic Range Range Description: This species is endemic to Mexico. Arias et al. (1997) report the species from the states of Guerrero, Oaxaca and Puebla at elevations of 1,000 to 2,600 m asl. Country Occurrence: Native: Mexico (Guerrero, Oaxaca, Puebla) © The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: Mammillaria mystax – published in 2013. 1 http://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2013-1.RLTS.T152711A668968.en Population This species is common and abundant within its limited range. Current Population Trend: Stable Habitat and Ecology (see Appendix for additional information) The species occurs in tropical dry deciduous forest (Vovides et al. 1997), Quercus forest and xerophyllous scrub (Arias et al. 1997). It flowers from February to April (Arias et al. 1997). Systems: Terrestrial Use and Trade (see Appendix for additional information) This cactus is used locally as an ornamental plant. Threats (see Appendix for additional information) There are no major threats. However, it is affected indirectly from land use change for farming and cattle ranching. Conservation Actions (see Appendix for additional information) The species occurs within the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Biosphere Reserve (Méndez-Larios et al. 2006). This species would benefit from basic studies of ecology and population monitoring. Credits Assessor(s): Arias, S., Valverde, T. & Zavala-Hurtado, A. Reviewer(s): Superina, M. & Goettsch, B.K.

  • Caryophyllales: a Key Group for Understanding Wood
    Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2010, 164, 342–393. With 21 figures Caryophyllales: a key group for understanding wood anatomy character states and their evolutionboj_1095 342..393 SHERWIN CARLQUIST FLS* Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, 1212 Mission Canyon Road, Santa Barbara, CA 93110, USA Received 13 May 2010; accepted for publication 28 September 2010 Definitions of character states in woods are softer than generally assumed, and more complex for workers to interpret. Only by a constant effort to transcend the limitations of glossaries can a more than partial understanding of wood anatomy and its evolution be achieved. The need for such an effort is most evident in a major group with sufficient wood diversity to demonstrate numerous problems in wood anatomical features. Caryophyllales s.l., with approximately 12 000 species, are such a group. Paradoxically, Caryophyllales offer many more interpretive problems than other ‘typically woody’ eudicot clades of comparable size: a wider range of wood structural patterns is represented in the order. An account of character expression diversity is presented for major wood characters of Caryophyllales. These characters include successive cambia (more extensively represented in Caryophyllales than elsewhere in angiosperms); vessel element perforation plates (non-bordered and bordered, with and without constrictions); lateral wall pitting of vessels (notably pseudoscalariform patterns); vesturing and sculpturing on vessel walls; grouping of vessels; nature of tracheids and fibre-tracheids, storying in libriform fibres, types of axial parenchyma, ray anatomy and shifts in ray ontogeny; juvenilism in rays; raylessness; occurrence of idioblasts; occurrence of a new cell type (ancistrocladan cells); correlations of raylessness with scattered bundle occurrence and other anatomical discoveries newly described and/or understood through the use of scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy.

Dave Palzkill: Biography I was raised on a mixed beef/hog/chicken farm in the hill country of southwest Wisconsin near the former mining town of Mineral Point. I majored in Horticulture and Plant Pathology at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. During my graduate studies I also spent eight months at the University of California - Davis, a time which awakened my interest in the dry west. My dissertation research at Madison focused on the influence of environment on Ca-transport and Ca-related disorders of vegetable crops. I taught Horticulture and Agronomy courses at the University of Arizona for 14 years and conducted research on new/alternative crops for dry regions; primarily jojoba, but also low water-requiring landscape/ornamental plants and mesquite for energy production. Since 1990, I have worked as a consultant on new crops projects (jojoba, chia, lesquerella, mesquite, moringa) in several countries. For the past 15 years, I have also managed a nursery in northwest Tucson specializing in Adenium, but also including lots of Pedilanthus (Lady's Slipper) and miscellaneous cacti., especially small-padded/jointed Opuntioids, which I first fell in love with on travels in various South American countries.

It is made available under aCC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 International license. 5 Abstract 6 Peter Medawar’s ‘An Unsolved Problem of Biology’1 was one of several formal attempts to 7 provide an explanation for the evolution of senescence, the increasing risk of mortality and 8 decline in reproduction with age after achieving maturity. Despite ca. seven decades of 9 theoretical elaboration aiming to explain the problem since Medawar first outlined it, we 10 argue that this fundamental problem of biology remains unsolved. Here, we utilise 11 demographic information2,3 for 308 multicellular species to derive age-based trajectories of 12 mortality and reproduction that provide evidence against the predictions of the classical, still 13 prevailing, theories of ageing1,4,5,6. These theories predict the inescapability of senescence1,4, 14 or its universality at least among species with a clear germ-soma barrier5,6.

    Mixtec plant nomenclature and classification by Alejandro de Ávila A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy in Anthropology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Overton Brent Berlin, Chair Professor Laura Nader Professor Leanne Hinton Fall 2010 Abstract Mixtec plant nomenclature and classification by Alejandro de Ávila Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology University of California, Berkeley Professor Overton Brent Berlin, Chair Ñuu Savi (‘Sacred Rain’s collectivity’), the Mixtec people of southern Mexico, had created some of the most complex polities in the continent at the time of European contact. Five hundred years later, they remain cohesive, culturally distinct communities, as increasing numbers of individuals and families migrate to northern Mexico and the US for work in the agricultural and service sectors. In 2005, the Mexican Federal Government reported there were more than 446,000 speakers of Tu’un Savi (‘Sacred Rain’s word,’ the Mixtec languages) five years of age and older, 322,000 of them still living in 1551 settlements within their historic homeland; an additional 100,000 to 200,000 are estimated to reside in the US. The term Mixtec, derived from the Náhuatl mixte:cah (‘cloud-people’), has been considered by different authors to encompass between 12 and 52 mutually unintelligible languages, in addition to numerous dialects. According to the Summer Institute of Linguistics’ Ethnologue, it is the second most diversified group of languages in the Americas, after Zapotec. The Instituto Nacional de Lenguas Indígenas, however, recognizes 81 variants of Mixtec, making it the most diversified language group in Mexico following official criteria.

One way to contribute to the preservation of this family is to understand the processes that promote seed germination. Questions: How common is dormancy and seed banks in Cactaceae? Are there general patterns in cacti germination response to temperature, light, water, salinity, phytohormones, hydration/dehydration cycles, mechanical or chemical scarification? Data description: A total of 333 studies on cactus germination with information on 409 taxa. Study site and dates: since 1939 to January 2020. Methods: A search of scientific articles in Google Scholar was performed with the words Cactaceae, cacti and cactus, in combination with various matters on germination in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Results: The main germination studies in cactus deal with photoblasticism (275 taxa), temperature (205 taxa) and seed longevity (142 taxa).

AoB PLANTS 7: plu078; doi:10.1093/aobpla/plu078 http://aobpla.oxfordjournals.org/ Abstract. Understanding which species are introduced and become invasive, and why, are central questions in invasion science. Comparative studies on model taxa have provided important insights, but much more needs to be done to unravel the context dependencies of these findings. The cactus family (Cactaceae), one of the most popular horticultural plant groups, is an interesting case study. Hundreds of cactus species have been introduced outside their native ranges; a few of them are among the most damaging invasive plant species in the world. We reviewed the dri- vers of introductions and invasions in the family and seek insights that can be used to minimize future risks. We com- piled a list of species in the family and determined which have been recorded as invasive. We also mapped current global distributions and modelled the potential global distributions based on distribution data of known invasive at University of Stellenosch on February 6, 2015 taxa.
