  • Population Density of Cebus Imitator, Honduras
    Neotropical Primates 26(1), September 2020 47 POPULATION DENSITY ESTIMATE FOR THE WHITE-FACED CAPUCHIN MONKEY (CEBUS IMITATOR) IN THE MULTIPLE USE AREA MONTAÑA LA BOTIJA, CHOLUTECA, HONDURAS, AND A RANGE EXTENSION FOR THE SPECIES Eduardo José Pinel Ramos M.Sc. Biological Sciences, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras, Cra. 27 a # 67-14, barrio 7 de agosto, Bogotá D.C., e-mail: <[email protected]> Abstract Honduras is one of the Neotropical countries with the least amount of information available regarding the conservation status of its wild primate species. Understanding the real conservation status of these species is relevant, since they are of great importance for ecosystem dynamics due to the diverse ecological services they provide. However, there are many threats that endanger the conservation of these species in the country such as deforestation, illegal hunting, and illegal wild- life trafficking. The present research is the first official registration of the Central American white-faced capuchin monkey (Cebus imitator) for the Pacific slope in southern Honduras, increasing the range of its known distribution in the country. A preliminary population density estimate of the capuchin monkey was performed in the Multiple Use Area Montaña La Botija using the line transect method, resulting in a population density of 1.04 groups/km² and 4.96 ind/km² in the studied area. These results provide us with a first look at an isolated primate population that has never been described before and demonstrate the need to develop long-term studies to better understand the population dynamics, ecology, and behaviour, for this group in the zone.

We would also like to thank all the participants in the task force meetings, without whose information this report would not be possible. Cover: Zanthoxy7um thomasianum is known from several sites in Puerto Rico and the U.S . Virgin Islands. It is a small shrub (2-3 meters) that grows on the banks of cliffs. Threats to this taxon include development, seed consumption by insects, and road erosion.

David Jones, Ph.D., Senior Agronomist Environmental Risk Branch IV Environmental Fate and Effects Division (7507P) APPROVED BY: Elizabeth Behl, Branch Chief Environmental Risk Branch IV Environmental Fate and Effects Division (7507P) The Environmental Fate and Effects Division (EFED) has reviewed the proposed label for the use of dodine (n-dodecylguanidine monoacetate; CAS 2439-10-3) and its end-use product SYLLIT® FL (39.6% dodine) fungicide on peanuts and bananas. The results of this screening-level risk assessment indicate that the proposed new uses of dodine on peanuts and bananas have the potential for direct adverse effects on listed and non-listed freshwater and estuarine/marine invertebrates, listed and non-listed vascular and non-vascular plants, and listed and non-listed birds and mammals. Major data gaps are listed below. Without these data potential risk to the associated taxa can not be precluded: • Aquatic vascular plant toxicity data (850.4400) There is uncertainty regarding the potential chronic effects of dodine to saltwater invertebrates and fish since there are no toxicity data. Using acute-to-chronic ratios (ACR) from freshwater species to calculate chronic endpoints for the saltwater species, however, suggests that risks may be low.

ABSTRACT Combretaceae, the family of flowering plants consisting of 20 genus and 600 important species in respective genus. The two largest genera of the family are Combretum and Terminalia which contains the more no. of species. The members of the family are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Most members of the trees, shrubs or lianas of the combretaceae family are widely used medicinally. The members of this family contain the different phytoconstituents of medicinal value e.g tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids and alkaloids. Most of the species of this family are used as antimicrobial, antioxidant and antifungal. The biological activities of the some members of this family yet not found. Apart from the medicinal value many members of the Combretaceae are of culinary and ornamental value. Keywords: Combretaceae, Tannins, Flavonoid, Terminalia, Combretum. INTRODUCTION species of Combretum have edible kernels whereas Buchenavia species have edible succulent endocarps. he family combretaceae is a major group of Chemical constituents like tannins are also found in fruits, flowering plants (Angiosperms) included in the bark, leaves, roots and timber in buchenavia and order of Myrtales. Robert Brown established it in T terminalia genera. Many of the species are reputed to 1810 and its inclusion to the order is not in dispute.

  • Patterns in Ericaceae: New Phylogenetic Analyses
    BS 55 479 Origins and biogeographic patterns in Ericaceae: New insights from recent phylogenetic analyses Kathleen A. Kron and James L. Luteyn Kron, KA. & Luteyn, J.L. 2005. Origins and biogeographic patterns in Ericaceae: New insights from recent phylogenetic analyses. Biol. Skr. 55: 479-500. ISSN 0366-3612. ISBN 87-7304-304-4. Ericaceae are a diverse group of woody plants that span the temperate and tropical regions of the world. Previous workers have suggested that Ericaceae originated in Gondwana, but recent phy­ logenetic studies do not support this idea. The theory of a Gondwanan origin for the group was based on the concentration of species richness in the Andes, southern Africa, and the southwest Pacific islands (most of which are thought to be of Gondwanan origin). The Andean diversity is comprised primarily of Vaccinieae with more than 800 species occurring in northern South America, Central America, and the Antilles. In the Cape Region of South Africa the genus Erica is highly diverse with over 600 species currently recognized. In the southwest Pacific islands, Vac­ cinieae and Rhodoreae are very diverse with over 290 species of Rhododendron (sect. Vireya) and approximately 500 species of Vaccinieae (I)imorphanthera, Paphia, Vaccinium). Recent phyloge­ netic studies have also shown that the Styphelioideae (formerly Epacridaceae) are included within Ericaceae, thus adding a fourth extremely diverse group (approximately 520 species) in areas considered Gondwanan in origin. Phylogenetic studies of the family on a global scale, how­ ever, have indicated that these highly diverse “Gondwanan” groups are actually derived from within Ericaceae. Both Fitch parsimony character optimization (using MacClade 4.0) and disper- sal-vicariance analysis (DIVA) indicate that Ericaceae is Laurasian in origin.
