Sieving for her permanent support, lessons, friendship, and good will. She has always extended her supportive hand, with a warm smile and the right word when it was needed. Katie has been the kind of scientist and advisor I would like to be, and she has opened to me a world of possibilities because of her generosity and dedication. She honors the profession of being professor. I am also deeply thankful to Dr. Juan J. Armesto, who is my good friend and advisor, opening to me the door of science, giving me the shoes to walk into the forest and unlocking the gate of frontiers to let me go to the world beyond. Juan has been a very important person in my career, giving me the opportunity and the support to continue in the scientific way, an opportunity that finally allowed me to study in this country and in this university. I thank my Advisory Committee, Drs. Jack Putz, Doug Levey, Emilio Bruna, Meg Lowman and Graeme Cumming, for their permanent support, lessons, encouragement, and the willing to support and advise my work at any time. I want to express all my gratitude to Ms. Katia Velazquez and Mr. Javier de la Calle for their generosity with housing and for allowing me to use their forest, which they love. I am also very thankful to the Corporación Nacional Forestal CONAF (Chile), which let me use facilities in Chiloé National Park and supported my work there. I also want express my gratitude to the Institute of Ecology and Biodiversity for providing lab facilities, and to Departamento de Ecología y Evolución, Universidad Austral de Chile for providing access and facilities at the Fundo San Martín site. Also, I would like to acknowledge many friends at this time, including those who helped me from the early stages of my career. Pablo Espejo taught me about science and reptiles, Juan Carlos Torres shared with me the world of birds; Dina Robles supported me as a young, too young kid in science. Mary Willson was our library of knowledge, offering advice and clarity. 4 Sharon Reid, Olga Barbosa, Claudia Papic, Mauricio Soto, Eduardo Soto, Luis Cavieres, Roberto Nespolo, Cintia Cornelius and all members of Senda Darwin Foundation, have been key in the development of my career. I am very thankful for the friends who worked with me in the field: Maurice Peña, who became a right hand in the field, Camila Tejo, Natalia Carrasco, María Paz Peña, Daniela Manuschevich, Pablo Necochea, Melanie, Tio Franz, Juan Larraín, Fernanda Salinas, Juan Luis Celis and Anita Venegas. I am very thankful to Chiloé National Park rangers Americo Panichini, Francisco Delgado, Maestro Lolo, don Paco, and in particular to Don Mario Huinao who always helped us with the very best of his good will. I am also very thankful to Mariano Millacura for all his support in the field. I am grateful to the Institute of Tropical Studies and Conservation, to Peter Lahanas and to Joe Maer, who showed and taught me the secrets of the tropical forest, and how to know the world of the canopy. I want also to express my deepest gratitude to Gary Machlis and the Canon National Parks Science Scholar Program, which funded me for three years, to the Fulbright program, to Fondecyt Grant 1050225 for funding support, and to the Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, for being a great place to learn about science and life. To my big friends of the Mafia Latina, all Maestros: Santiago Espinoza, Alejandro Paredes, Rafael Reyna, Luis Ramos, Sonia Canavelli, Marcela Machicote, Sheda Morshed, to the friends who organized our little world in the office in the basement Olga Montenegro, Alejandro Paredes, to my old roommates Mutsuo Nakamura and Osvaldo Jordan, to Michaela Speirs. Finally, I want to express my appreciation to my family who has always supported me, in the good and the hard times; and to Wara Marcelo, who gave me the comprehension I wanted, the support I needed, the smile I liked, and the love I loved. 5 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ...............................................................................................................4 LIST

Cl-1 249 CAMBRIAN ROCKS OF EAST POINT, NAHANT, MASSACHUSETTS Richard H. Bailey Department of Earth Sciences Northeastern University Boston, MA 02115 Introduction The quintessential stratigraphic component of Avalonian terranes of eastern North America is a Cambrian succession bearing the so-called Acado-Baltic trilobite assemblage. Spectacular sea cliffs at East Point, the easternmost extremity of Nahant, Massachusetts, afford an opportunity to examine a continuous and well exposed Lower Cambrian section on the Boston Platform. The Nahant Gabbro, sills, abundant dikes, and faults cut the Cambrian strata and add to the geological excitement. Indeed, it is difficult to move more t h a n a few meters along the cliffs without discovering a feature that will arouse your curiosity. This is also a wonderful place to watch waves crash against cliffs and to stare across the Atlantic in the direction of Africa.

R E S E A R C H A R T I C L E ABSTRACT: In Chile, most protected areas are located in the southern Andes, in mountainous land- scapes at mid or high altitudes. Despite the increasing proportion of protected areas, few have detailed inventories of their biodiversity. This information is essential to define threats and develop long-term • integrated conservation programs to face the effects of global change.

    Essential Oils from the Leaves of Three New Zealand Species of Pseudopanax (Araliaceae) Roderick J. Weston Industrial Research Ltd., P.O. Box 31-310, Lower Hutt, New Zealand. Fax: +64-4-9313-055. E-mail: [email protected] Z. Naturforsch. 59c, 39Ð42 (2004); received July 22, 2003 Essential oils from three of the eleven endemic New Zealand species of Pseudopanax, P. arboreus, P. discolor and P. lessonii, were found to have a fairly uniform composition which was different from that of the oils of Raukaua species that were formerly classified in the Pseudopanax genus. Oils of the three Pseudopanax species all contained significant propor- tions of viridiflorol and a closely related unidentified hydroazulene alcohol in common. In addition, the oil of P. arboreus contained bicyclogermacrene, linalool and long chain hy- drocarbons. The oil of P. discolor contained nerolidol in abundance (36.3%) together with linalool and epi-α-muurolol. The oil of P. lessonii contained a complex mixture of sesquiter- pene alcohols including epi-α-muurolol and a mixture of long chain hydrocarbons. Nerolidol and linalool provided the oil of P. discolor with a pleasant floral aroma, but the yield of oil was very low (0.01%). Key words: Pseudopanax arboreus, discolor and lessonii, Araliaceae, Essential Oil Introduction species studied in this paper, P. lessonii and P. dis- color, belong to this group and were selected be- The Araliaceae is a family of 65 genera and ap- cause their leaves, when crushed, emit a weak fra- proximately 800 species, which occur mainly in grance.

  • Native Vascular Plants of Great Barrier Island. Areas Visited by Wellington
    Native Vascular Plants of Great Barrier Island. List of all native vascular plants ever reported, and of those recognised by members of Wellington Botanical Society - 30 January to 7 February 2008. Rodney Lewington 1 An initial list of vascular plants recorded for Great Barrier Island was prepared prior to the visit of the Wellington Botanical Society in January 2008. That list was based on a variety of sources including Ewen Cameron’s chapter in Armitage, D. (ed), Great Barrier Island 2. 2004. Subsequent to the visit my attention was brought to the list prepared by Ewen Cameron in the Auckland Botanical Society Journal of 20023. Additions from that publication have been noted on the list that follows and are mentioned in the “New, doubtful and excluded records” section below. I am grateful to Ewen Cameron for comments on a previous draft of these notes and the list that follows. Those species recorded by the Wellington Botanical Society in January and February 2008 are noted against the areas visited. The main contributors to the Society's observations were Jonathan Anderson, Jo Fillery, Shelley Heiss-Dunlop, Bryan Halliday, Chris Hopkins, J.Chris Horne, Rodney Lewington, Barbara Mitcalfe, Neill Simpson and Owen Spearpoint. Species names have been updated at January 2008 to those used in the NZ Plant Conservation Network database4, plus some other literature. Abbreviations used in the list: GBI = Great Barrier Island. Pos. Ext.GBI = Possibly extinct on GBI. End. GBI = Endemic to GBI. Add. to E.C. 2002 = Species not included in the 2002 Ewen Cameron list. (excluding hybrids) * Indicates rare on GBI.
