    Arquipelago - Life and Marine Sciences ISSN: 0873-4704 Arthropods and other Biota associated with the Azorean Trees and Shrubs: Juniperus brevifolia RUI NUNES, R. GABRIEL, R.B. ELIAS, F. RIGAL, A.O. SOARES, P. CARDOSO & P.A.V. BORGES Nunes, R., R. Gabriel, R.B. Elias, F. Rigal, A.O. Soares, P. Cardoso & P.A.V. Borges 2015. Arthropods and other Biota associated with the Azorean Trees and Shrubs: Juniperus brevifolia. Arquipelago. Life and Marine Sciences 32: 19-48. Appendix I-IV. This work aims to characterize the arthropods and other biota (lichens, bryophytes, vascular plants and birds) associated with the Azorean endemic tree, Juniperus brevifolia. This is the first of a series of publications that will (i) provide a comprehensive list of all the biota associated with the main Azorean endemic trees and shrubs, (ii) describe in detail the diver- sity, abundance and spatial patterns of canopy arthropods, and (iii) whenever possible, to extend biodiversity assessments to communities of bryophytes, lichens, vascular plants and vertebrates. We use standardized sampled data from BALA project for canopy arthropods and for the remaining taxa we surveyed literature data and the Herbarium of University of Azores. Juniperus brevifolia occurs in a wide range of elevation belts in Azores and accommodates a remarkable large number of taxa: besides canopy arthropods (161 species) it is also an important substrate to other vascular species (six species), bryophytes (105 spe- cies), lichens (106 species) and also birds (four species). In addition, the species richness and particularly the abundance of endemics are dominant, and the number of conservation concern species for bryophytes is noteworthy (30 out of 70).

Forget Me Not more about what the Forget Me Not symbolizes by taking a stroll down memory lane. All of the hundreds of flowers in the Myosotis genus can be called Forget Me Nots. The descriptive name first came from the German term Vergissmeinnicht. Most Forget Me Not and myths involving this flower took place in Germany and the surrounding countries, but an English name was in use by the beginning of the century in the rest of Europe. Despite translation challenges, most other countries use a similar name or phrase to describe the same flower. The man retrieved the flowers for the woman, but he was swept away by the river and told her not to forget Forget Me Not as he floated away. Each variety in the Forget Me Not family produces slightly different flowers, but the main type used for bouquets and flower beds produces small blue flowers with five petals. Careful breeding has produced pink, purple, and white varieties, although they are not as commonly available from florists and nurseries as the classic blue Forget Me Not. Most types prefer dry conditions and Forget Me Not sandy soils, yet there are varieties that can thrive in any kind Forget Me Not garden or yard. The Armenian Genocide Forget Me Not, which symbolizes the millions of people killed during the early s, is designed with purple petals.

  • Prophyll, Calyculus, and Perianth in Santalales
    Blumea 57, 2013: 248–252 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/blumea RESEARCH ARTICLE http://dx.doi.org/10.3767/000651913X664009 Prophyll, calyculus, and perianth in Santalales J. Kuijt1 Key words Abstract The concepts of prophyll and calyculus in Santalales are reviewed, and are found to be of variable taxo- nomic importance in different families. The calyculus in Loranthaceae has been generally interpreted as a reduced biseriate corolla calyx, a concept recently challenged by Wanntorp & Ronse De Craene (2009), who concluded that it represents a calyculus fusion of prophylls. This view, as well as the accompanying biseriate corolla notion, is rejected. In Loranthaceae, prophyll prophylls associated with flowers have sometimes provided significant taxonomic features, while in Viscaceae this Santalales is true mostly in the vegetative portions of plants, especially in Arceuthobium, Dendrophthora and Phoradendron. Published on 1 February 2013 INTRODUCTION PROPHYLLS The Sandalwood order (Santalales) has been the subject of Even though the term ‘prophyll’ is often equated to ‘bracteole’, several significant studies in recent years. Most of these studies it has a more precise meaning, namely one of the two often have dealt with the phylogenetic history of the order and its mul- minute foliar organs that flank axillary axes in angiosperms, tiple components, especially the work of Nickrent et al. (2010). whether flowers, inflorescences, or vegetative ramifications. However, one of these contributions has instead focused on the The term ‘bracteole’ is used inconsistently in literature; they are structural elements related to flowers (Wanntorp & Ronse De usually associated with flowers, while prophylls do not share Craene 2009), and has resulted in some novel interpretations.

The target group are the arthropods, and the main habitat the Laurisilva, the Azorean native forest. Diversification of Azorean arthropod species is affected by island age, area and isolation. However, results obtained for over a decade show that distinct groups are differently affected by these factors, which has lead to the extreme diverse distribution patterns currently observed. Spatial distribution of arthropods in each island may be interpreted as caused by a typical “mass effect”, with many species following a “source-sink” dynamics.
