  • Caucasus Plant Initiative: a Regional Plant Conservation Strategy
    Caucasus Plant Initiative: A Regional Plant Conservation Strategy Paeonia wittmanniana Editors: Ketevan Batsatsashvili, George E. Schatz, and Tatyana Schulkina Design: Burgund Bassüner 0-00 Developed by The Caucasus Plant Red List Authority Kazbegi, north-eastern Georgia The targets of The Caucasus Plant Initiative (CPI), a regional Plant Conservation Strategy, correspond to the targets of the 00-00 Global Strategy for Plant Conservation. The present document also illustrates the relevance of CPI targets to the targets/actions in the revised and updated Ecoregion Conservation Plan (ECP) for the Caucasus (Zazanashvili et al. 0). Whenever possible, the CPI should be considered together with ECP in plant conservation and sustainable use planning. According to the 0th Meeting of the Conference of Parties of the UN Convention on Bio- logical Diversity (CBD) held in Japan, the member countries are requested to revise their existing National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) according to the “CBD Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 011-00”. The statements of The Caucasus Plant Initiative are intended to be incorporated into the National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) of the Caucasus countries. Content Objective I: Plant diversity is well understood, documented and recognized Page 7 CPI Target : An online Flora of all known plants of the Caucasus. CPI Target : Global/regional/national assessment of the conservation status of as many known plant species of the Caucasus as possible, to guide conservation action. CPI Target : Information, research and associated outputs, and methods necessary to implement the Strategy developed and shared throughout the Caucasus. Objective II: Plant diversity is urgently and effectively conserved Page 10 CPI Target : At least 5 percent of each ecological region or vegetation type secured through effective management and/or restoration.

  • Jordan Itinerary Wildlife Holiday Botanical Tour Irises Tulips Orchids
    Jordan A Greentours Itinerary Day 1 Arrive Jordan Our direct British Airways flight arrives late in the evening so we’ll stay the first night in Madaba, just half an hour from the airport. Days 2 - 5 The Northern Hills, Ajlun, Jerash, and the Syrian border The hills that form the east bank of the Jordan Valley may come as a surprise to the first-time visitor to Jordan. Covered in a beguiling mix of olive groves, terraces, villages and some rather fine indigenous forest, they have a very rich natural as well as cultural heritage. The latter of course will play a significant part on our tour and so we’ll take time out to enjoy the Roman ruins at Jerash, the wonderful situation of Roman Pella, and the fairy-tale ruins of the Arab-built Crusader period castle that looms over Ajlun. However it is the fauna and flora that will take most of our attention. The hills reach around four thousand feet above sea level along their length, actually four thousand two hundred feet above the almost subtropical Jordan River in the valley below. The hills have a largely European avifauna but as one descends things become more exotic with first Blackstarts and Spectacled Bulbuls, and then White-throated Kingfisher and Little Green Bee- eater. The same is true of the flowers with the highest hills having an almost alpine component and the valley a rich mixture of Middle-eastern plants. Ajlun, a new nature reserve protecting an area of natural evergreen oak forest, is right on the very tops of the hills.

Conserv. 11, – (2003) Journal for © Urban & Fischer Verlag http://www.urbanfischer.de/journals/jnc Nature Conservation Constructing Red Numbers for setting conservation priorities of endangered plant species: Israeli flora as a test case Yuval Sapir1*, Avi Shmida1 & Ori Fragman1,2 1 Rotem – Israel Plant Information Center, Dept. of Evolution, Systematics and Ecology,The Hebrew University, Jerusalem, 91904, Israel; e-mail: [email protected] 2 Present address: Botanical Garden,The Hebrew University, Givat Ram, Jerusalem 91904, Israel Abstract A common problem in conservation policy is to define the priority of a certain species to invest conservation efforts when resources are limited. We suggest a method of constructing red numbers for plant species, in order to set priorities in con- servation policy. The red number is an additive index, summarising values of four parameters: 1. Rarity – The number of sites (1 km2) where the species is present. A rare species is defined when present in 0.5% of the area or less. 2. Declining rate and habitat vulnerability – Evaluate the decreasing rate in the number of sites and/or the destruction probability of the habitat. 3. Attractivity – the flower size and the probability of cutting or exploitation of the plant. 4. Distribution type – scoring endemic species and peripheral populations. The plant species of Israel were scored for the parameters of the red number. Three hundred and seventy (370) species, 16.15% of the Israeli flora entered into the “Red List” received red numbers above 6. “Post Mortem” analysis for the 34 extinct species of Israel revealed an average red number of 8.7, significantly higher than the average of the current red list.

  • Starch Research Page URL: Last Updated: 14-April-2004 / Du Ethnobotanical Leaflets Starch Research Page
    Journal Contents Back Issues Book Reviews Research Notes Careers Meetings Botany Resources Why study starch? The long and short of it is that size, shape, and optical and chemical properties of starch are useful in the determination of taxonomic species. Starch characteristics can be used in place of, or in combination with other features of the plant to facilitate the identification of macro archaeological plant remains, or even small pieces of modern plant materials which for one reason or the other are lacking the traditional "key" taxonomic characters. As in the case of pollen and phytolith analyses, the study of fossil starch grains can help the ethnobotanist to better understand the diet of ancient human cultures. The taxonomic usefulness of starch was long ago noted by Edward Tyson Reichert (1913), whose monumental work on "The Differentiation and Specificity of Starches in Relation to Genera, Species, Etc." has today become a classic in its field. He writes: "It must have been recognized by Leeuwenhoek, and by many of the investigators of the earliest part of the last century, that starches from different sources are not morphologically identical, but if so it does not seem to have attracted any particular attention until the investigations of Fritzsche (Ann. d. Physik. u. Chernie, 1834, xxxii, 129). Fritzsche described the starches obtained from a variety of plants. He noted not only that the starches from different sources were different, but also that often the form was so characteristic as to determine the plant, or, at least, indicate the genus and family from which the specimen was obtained.

  • Positive and Negative Impacts of Non-Native Bee Species Around the World
    Supplementary Materials: Positive and Negative Impacts of Non-Native Bee Species around the World Laura Russo Table S1. Selected references of potential negative impacts of Apis or Bombus species. Bold, underlined, and shaded text refers to citations with an empirical component while unbolded text refers to papers that refer to impacts only from a hypothetical standpoint. Light grey shading indicates species for which neither positive nor negative impacts have been recorded. “But see” refers to manuscripts that show evidence or describe the opposite of the effect and is capitalized when only contradictory studies could be found. Note that Apis mellifera scutellata (the “Africanized” honeybee), is treated separately given the abundance of research specifically studying that subspecies.
