Por exten- sión suelen incluirse en la fitogeografía el estudio de las relaciones e11tre las plantas y el ambiente (Fitoecología) y el estudio estático Y- dinámico de las comunidad es vegetales (Fitosociologí a) . Uno de los primeros pasos que deben darse al estudiar la vegetación de un país es dividir éste en territorios fitogeográficos de categorías gradualmente subordinadas, categorías que reciben diferentes deno- minaciones según los diversos autores y cuyos límites varían también de acuerdo al criterio que se hilya seguido para trazarlos. Cuanto me- jor conocida es una región, más ullifor.mes y estables son los conceptos sobre su fitogeografía. Los territorios fitogeográficos no son, en efecto, divisiones más o menos caprichosas, hechas a gusto de cada autor para subdividir la vegetación de un país, sino que se trata de territorios re.:¡}es cuyos límites, netos o difusos, están determinados por causas climáticas, edáficas y geológicas. Cuanto mejQr conocidas son la cli- matología y paleoclimatología, la edafología y la historia geológica de una región, más exactamente podrán ser delimitados sus territorios fitogeográficos.

  • Dispersal Modes and Fruiting Periods in Hyperseasonal and Seasonal Savannas, Central Brazil
    Revista Brasil. Bot., V.32, n.1, p.155-163, jan.-mar. 2009 Dispersal modes and fruiting periods in hyperseasonal and seasonal savannas, central Brazil IGOR AURÉLIO SILVA1, MARCUS VINÍCIUS CIANCIARUSO1 and MARCO ANTÔNIO BATALHA1 (received: February 28, 2008; accepted: January 20, 2009) ABSTRACT – (Dispersal modes and fruiting periods in hyperseasonal and seasonal savannas, central Brazil). Seasonal savannas are characterized by an intense drought that influences their functioning. Hyperseasonal savannas experience additionally a waterlogging during the rainy season. In South America, the largest savanna environment is the Brazilian cerrado. To assess whether a particular dispersal mode or fruiting period is associated to the waterlogging, we examined dispersal and phenological groups in hyperseasonal and seasonal cerrado plant species. We compared the proportion of species and individuals in these groups with G-tests for independence in contingency tables. We did not find differences in the proportion of species; however, based on the proportion of individuals, the main dispersal strategy was anemochory in the hyperseasonal cerrado and zoochory in the seasonal cerrado. Phenological strategies of fruiting in safe periods of the year were differently selected in both cerrados. In the hyperseasonal cerrado, most individuals fruited in non-waterlogged periods, whereas in the seasonal cerrado, most individuals fruited in wetter periods. Thus, waterlogging may drive important modifications in the efficiency of the dispersal and phenological strategies of hyperseasonal savannas plants. Key words - cerrado, dispersal modes, guilds, phenology, waterlogging RESUMO – (Modos de dispersão e períodos de frutificação em savanas hiperestacional e estacional, Brasil central). Savanas estacionais são caracterizadas por uma seca pronunciada que influencia seu funcionamento.

ZULOAGA Instituto de Bota´nica Darwinion, Labarde´n 200, Casilla de Correo 22, San Isidro, Buenos Aires B1642HYD, Argentina 1Corresponding author ([email protected]) ABSTRACT Paspalum (Poaceae: Panicoideae: Paniceae) includes 330 species distributed mainly in tropical and subtropical regions of America. Due to the large number of species and convergence in many char- acters, an adequate infrageneric classification is still needed. Studies on Paniceae based on molecular and morphological data have suggested that Paspalum is paraphyletic, including the genus Thrasya, but none of these analyses have included a representative sample of these two genera. In this study, phylogenetic relationships among the informal group Decumbentes of Paspalum, plus subgenera and other informal groups, and the genera Thrasya and Thrasyopsis were estimated.

Canada V6T 1Z4 Tel: (604) 822-2133 Fax: (604) 822-6089 March 14, 2019 BSA Council Dear Council Members, It is with great pleasure that I nominate Professor Richard Abbott to be a Corresponding Member of the Botanical Society of America. I view Professor Abbott as an international leader in the areas of plant hybridization and phylogeography. His work is notable for its high quality, thoroughness, and careful and nuanced interpretations of results. Also, included in this nomination package is a letter of support from Corresponding Member Dianne Edwards CBE FRS, who is a Distinguished Research Professor at Cardiff University, along with Richard’s CV. Below I highlight several of Prof. Abbott’s most important contributions, as well as the characteristics of his work that I particularly admire. Prof. Abbott is probably best known for his careful elucidation of the reticulate history of Senecio (ragworts and groundsels) of the British Isles. His studies of the Senecio system have combined careful analyses of historical plant distribution records in the UK, with data from ecological experiments, developmental genetics, and population genetic and genomic analyses. This multidisciplinary approach is powerful, and Prof. Abbot’s work has revealed several examples of plant speciation in real time (and there aren’t very many of these). Key findings include (1) the discovery and careful documentation of the homoploid hybrid origin of the Oxford

However, recent experimental tests did not find effects of species composition variation on trait convergence and therefore the environmental constraints should play the major role on community convergence into functional groups. Seasonal cerrados are characterized by a sharp seasonality, in which the water shortage defines the community functioning. Hyperseasonal cerrados experience additionally waterlogging in the rainy season. Here, we asked whether waterlogging modifies species convergences into life-forms in a hyperseasonal cerrado. We studied a hyperseasonal cerrado, comparing it with a nearby seasonal cerrado, never waterlogged, in Emas National Park, central Brazil. In each area, we sampled all vascular plants by placing 40 plots of 1 m2 plots in four surveys. We analyzed the species convergences into life-forms in both cerrados using the Raunkiaer’s life-form spectrum and the index of divergence from species to life-form diversity (IDD). The overall life-form spectra and IDDs were not different, indicating that waterlogging did not affect the composition of functional groups in the hyperseasonal cerrado.

As long as we did not find a seasonal variation in life-form diversity, the seasonal variation of convergence into life-forms in the hyperseasonal cerrado was a conse- quence of the seasonal variation of species diversity.

  • To Readers of the Attached Code-Share List
    TO READERS OF THE ATTACHED CODE-SHARE LIST: The U.S. Air Carrier Licensing Division’s code-share list is an informal compilation of code-share relationships between U.S. and foreign air carriers involving the transportation of passengers. As such, it does not represent a complete compilation of all code shares e.g. cargo and mail only. New code-share relationships are continually being negotiated, and the ones reflected in the attached listing may or may not be still in place or be of a continuing nature. Similarly, the list may not reflect all existing code shares of a particular type, or all existing types of code shares. This list is not an official document of the Department of Transportation and, accordingly, should not be relied upon or cited as such. NOTE: THIS LIST IS COMPRISED OF ONLY THOSE CARRIERS WHOSE CODE-SHARE RELATIONSHIPS ARE OF A NEW OR CONTINUING BASIS. DORMANT CODE-SHARE RELATIONSHIPS TO THE EXTENT KNOWN HAVE BEEN DELETED. Block descriptions of certain code-share arrangements approved for the same term may have been compressed into one block description to conserve space. If the authorities are not new or changed, but only compressed, the compressed descriptions will not appear in bold type. Carriers must notify the Department no later than 30-day before they begin any new code-share service under the code-share services authorized. This report is current through July 31, 2021. Changes from the previous reports are noted in bold type. Regional carriers operating for large carriers (e.g. Delta Connection, American Eagle, United Express) will be listed in the endnotes of this report.
