Phytotaxa, Zamia Incognita (Zamiaceae): the Exciting Discovery of a New Gymnosperm
Phytotaxa 2: 29–34 (2009) ISSN 1179-3155 (print edition) www.mapress.com/phytotaxa/ Article PHYTOTAXA Copyright © 2009 • Magnolia Press ISSN 1179-3163 (online edition) Zamia incognita (Zamiaceae): the exciting discovery of a new gymnosperm from Colombia ANDERS J. LINDSTRÖM1 & ÁLVARO IDÁRRAGA2 1Nong Nooch Tropical Botanical Garden, 34/1 Sukhumvit Highway, Najomtien, Sattahip, Chonburi 20250 Thailand 2Universidad de Antioquia, Herbario Universidad de Antioquia (HUA), Medellín, Colombia Abstract Colombia is home to the majority of known South American species of Zamia (Zamiaceae). Although Zamia is now the only recognised genus of extant Cycadales in South America, it shows some complex ecological adaptations that have resulted in several evolutionarily divergent sections within the genus. The recent publication of Flora de Colombia listed 16 species, of which seven are endemic and five were newly described in the very same treatment. Although this treatment was current at the time of publication, recent collections and additional material of little-known species have made an update and further clarification necessary. A new species, Zamia incognita is described here and its relationships are discussed. Key words: Colombia, cycads, gymnosperms, Zamia Introduction The classification of Zamia Linnaeus (1763: 1659), a genus of about 57 species of mainly South and Central American cycads, is still incomplete with new species still to be discovered and described. The relationships are not very well-studied and there are few classifications at the subgeneric level (Schuster, 1932). Most species have been described individually by various authors and not as part of a larger taxonomic treatment or revision. Because of the inaccessibility of many habitats, there are very few specimens of South American species.

Botryosphaeriaceae Associated with Die-Back of Schizolobium Parahyba Trees In
Botryosphaeriaceae associated with die-back of Schizolobium parahyba trees in South Africa and Ecuador J. W. M. Mehl1,3, B. Slippers2, J. Roux1 and M. J. Wingfield1 1Department of Microbiology and Plant Pathology, Forestry and Agricultural Biotechnology Institute (FABI), University of Pretoria, Private Bag X20, Hatfield, Pretoria, 0028 2Department of Genetics, Forestry and Agricultural Biotechnology Institute (FABI), University of Pretoria, Private Bag X20, Hatfield, Pretoria, 0028 3E-mail: [email protected] (for correspondence) Summary Die-back of Schizolobium parahyba var. amazonicum is a serious problem in plantations of these trees in Ecuador. Similar symptoms have also been observed on trees of this species in various parts of South Africa. The most common fungi isolated from disease symptoms on S. parahyba var. amazonicum in both locations were species of the Botryosphaeriaceae. The aim of this study was to identify these fungi from both Ecuador and South Africa, and to test their pathogenicity in greenhouse and field trials. Isolates obtained were grouped based on culture morphology and identified using comparisons of DNA sequence data for the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) and Translation Elongation Factor 1α (TEF-1α) gene regions. The β-tubulin-2 (BT2) locus was also sequenced for some isolates where identification was difficult. Three greenhouse trials were conducted in South Africa along with a field trial in Ecuador. Neofusicoccum parvum was obtained from trees in both areas and was the dominant taxon in South Africa. Lasiodiplodia theobromae was the dominant taxon in Ecuador, probably due to the subtropical climate in the area. Isolates of N. vitifusiforme (from South Africa only), N.

Floristic Composition and Edge-Induced Homogenization in Tree Communities in the Fragmented Atlantic Rainforest of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
Mongabay.com Open Access Journal - Tropical Conservation Science Vol. 9 (2): 852-876, 2016 Research Article Floristic composition and edge-induced homogenization in tree communities in the fragmented Atlantic rainforest of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Oliver Thier1* and Jens Wesenberg2 1 University of Leipzig, Institute for Biology I, Systematic Botany and Functional Biodiversity, Johannisallee 21, 04103 Leipzig, Germany. 2 Senckenberg Museum of Natural History Görlitz, Botany Department, Am Museum 1, 02826 Görlitz, Germany. * Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract This study investigates the changes of tree species composition and diversity along the gradient from fragment edge to interior, and between edge and interior habitats, on a regional scale, in nine Atlantic forest fragments (6–120 ha), in southeastern Brazil. A total of 1980 trees (dbh ≥ 5 cm) comprising 252 species, 156 genera and 57 families were surveyed using the point-centered quarter method. From the fragment edge towards the interior the proportion of shade-tolerant trees increased continuously. The majority of all trees within the first 100 m from the edge belonged to the pioneer-guild. Floristic dissimilarity was found to be higher among interior habitats of different fragments than among the corresponding edge areas or among different small fragments. Species diversity increased along the edge-interior gradient 1.5 times within the first 250 m. Our results support previous findings that the establishment of edge-affected habitats leads to tree species impoverishment and homogenization via the dominance and proliferation of pioneer species in the forest edges of severely fragmented tropical landscapes. We argue that conservation strategies which include the creation of buffer zones between forest edges and the matrix will be more efficient than the establishment of narrow corridors to connect fragments and protected areas.

Bees carrying pollen and/or nectar were captured at nest entrances during 5 min every hour, from sunrise to sunset, once a month. Pollen loads were counted and saved for acetolysis. Nectar was collected, the volume was determined and the total dissolved solids were determined by refractometer. Air temperature, relative humidity and light intensity were also registered. The number of pollen loads reached its maximum value between 70% and 90% of relative humidity and 18 oC and 23oC; for nectar loads this range was broader, 50-90% and 20-30ºC. The number of pollen loads increased as relative humidity rose (rs = 0.401; P < 0.01) and high temperatures had a strong negative infl uence on the number of pollen loads collected (rs = -0.228; P < 0.01).

Managing humid and semi-humid ecosystems SPECIFIC TARGETED RESEARCH PROJECT Second Reporting Period Periodic Activity Report 01/05/06 – 30/04/2007 Proposal/Contract no.: 003708 Project coordinator: Stephen Cavers Coordinating Institution: CEH Project start date: 01/05/2006 Duration: 4 years 1 SEEDSOURCE – 003708 – Second Periodic Activity Report ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Executive Summary - project description The aim of SEEDSOURCE is to provide best practice policies for sourcing tree germplasm for use within a range of degraded landscapes to ensure the use of best adapted material, that maximises production, without eroding genetic and ecosystem diversity and long term adaptive potential. Supply of appropriate germplasm is a critical factor for reforestation programmes. Use of inappropriately sourced material (due to lack of knowledge or availability) can lead to ecological and/or commercial failures, as trees die or fail to meet the particular objectives of a reforestation or restoration project. With recent interest in the conservation and restoration of native habitat, there is a growing trend towards planting trees with wider objectives than simply maximising production. Germplasm selection for production forestry is generally based on growth, form and quality criteria. In contrast, planting for ecological restoration requires an emphasis on different traits such as reproductive vigour, seed and seedling survival, and ability to compete with other species. Considerations of sustainability, ecological restoration and conservation of biodiversity also lead to promotion of ‘local’ seed sources for planting.

Report on the Choice of the Priority Family List of Invasive Alien Species and Threatened Species
University of Abomey-Calavi Faculty of Agricultural Sciences REPORT ON THE CHOICE OF THE PRIORITY FAMILY LISTS OF INVASIVE ALIEN SPECIES AND THREATENED SPECIES PLANTS OF BENIN September 2016 Introduction In the framework of the Regional project funded by European Union (EU) through the program of Biodiversity Information for Development (BID), managed by the Secretariat of the Global Biodiversity information Facility (GBIFS) to address priorities of the consortium countries (Senegal, Guinea, Côte-d’Ivoire, Mali, Niger, DRC, Madagascar, and Benin) on data mobilization to advance knowledge on the distribution and modeling of invasive alien species and threatened species to inform decision in the countries involved in the consortium, we recommended that at each consortium country level, the lists of priority families belonging to both categories be establish consensually with in-country partners. The methods used and results obtained are presented below. Methods Case of Benin During the national workshop of 14th June 2016, we first asked partners of the project working in biodiversity conservation field (researchers, academics, NGO members, conservators…) to provide lists of species of invasive alien species and threatened species separately. Second, for each category of species, the provided lists were combined to select the ten priority families. Case of DRC The lists of each category of species were compiled during a national workshop held at the Herbarium INERA of the University of Kinshasa (IUK), from 26 to 27 July 2016. During that workshop, experts from several local institutions, holders of alien invasive and endangered plants data, met and achieved the priority families list of each category species.
