    1 Ecological Archives 2 3Christopher N. Kaiser-Bunbury, Diego P. Vázquez, Martina Stang, and Jaboury Ghazoul. 2014. 4Determinants of the microstructure of plant-pollinator networks. Ecology. 5 6Appendix A: Detailed supplementary information on the methods, including tables and figures 7 8 A.1 Plant–pollinator networks 9In total, 97 flower visitor taxa were recorded, of which 14 taxa, belonging to the groups of 10spiders, crickets, true bugs (hemiptera) and ants, were excluded from the networks as they were 11not considered pollinators of the inselberg plants. Pollinators were identified to species level for 1228 taxa (34%) and to morpho-species level for the remaining 55 taxa (66%; hereafter all 13pollinator taxa are referred to as ‘pollinator species’). Morpho-species were not pooled based on 14morphological traits such as size, but they were distinguished at the smallest possible level 15without taxonomic determination and assigned a species code. Flower visitors were recorded as 16pollinators when they touched the sexual parts of flowers. Sampling of interactions was 17conducted by the same three observers throughout the 8-month flowering season and sampling 18was standardized between observers fortnightly. We used equal observation periods for all plant 19species to reduce sampling bias and to collect data on interaction frequency independent of size 20constraints and flower abundance (Ollerton and Cranmer 2002). 21 To assess the effect of sampling on network dissimilarities we conducted a rarefaction 22analysis (Hurlbert 1971, Heck et al. 1975). We calculated Bray-Curtis dissimilarities (see Section 23D below for a detailed description on dissimilarity matrices) between rarefied interaction 24matrices sampled at four different proportions (0.8, 0.6, 0.4 and 0.2) and compared the resulting 25mean ± 95% CI dissimilarities of the rarefied matrices to the dissimilarity between the original 26matrices.

TRANSLATION : WWWATCH YYYOUR BBBUSINESS GGGROW IN CCCRAMERTON 2 A Premier Environment For Business Development Location The Town of Cramerton and the Charlotte/Gastonia/Concord MSA Region has historically profited from a strategic North American location. Today, the region’s prosperity, enviable growth and economic diversity continue to benefit from a highly advantageous location. MARKET ACCESS Positioned in the Southeast United States (Latitude: 35.22 0N/ Longitude: 81.06 0W), the Town and region provide an Eastern Time Zone location for conducting worldwide business with direct access fifteen minutes away at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) to Europe and other global destinations. NORTH CAROLINA The region is a prime gateway to the Southeast United States, ideally positioned midway between our nation’s capital New York City and Miami, Florida. CHARLOTTE/GASTONIA/CONCORD METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREA The Town of Cramerton is located in the Southeast United States, in the southern piedmont of the State of North Carolina. The Town is part of the Charlotte/Gastonia/Concord MSA, the largest urban area in North Carolina. Located within Gaston County, the Town lies along the South Fork of The Catawba River between Gastonia and Charlotte. POSITIONED FOR PROFIT The dynamic growth and economic diversity of the Town of Cramerton and Charlotte/Gastonia/Concord MSA over the last two decades is due in part to its strategic location and transportation access to well over 60% of the nation’s population and industrial base.

  • The Evolution of Araliaceae: a Phylogenetic Analysis Based on ITS Sequences of Nuclear Ribosomal DNA

MITCHELL Ecology and Entomology Group, Soil, Plant and Ecological Sciences Division, PO Box 84, Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand STEVEN J. WAGSTAFF Landcare Research, P.O. Box 69, Lincoln 8152, New Zealand Communicating Editor: Alan Whittemore ABSTRACT. Phylogenetic analyses of ITS sequence data from 70 species and 40 genera of Araliaceae (representing all major lineages within the ``core group'' of the family) do not support the widely used traditional division of Araliaceae into three tribes. Tribe Aralieae (characterized by imbricate petals) is found nested within a paraphyletic Schef¯erieae (whose taxa have valvate petals). There are, however, two large monophyletic groups comprising most araliad genera: the ''Aralia-Polyscias-Pseudopanax group'' (which in- cludes Aralia, Meryta, Munroidendron, Panax, Pentapanax, Polyscias, Pseudopanax, Reynoldsia, Sciadodendron, Tetra- plasandra, and their close allies), and the ''Eleutherococcus-Dendropanax-Schef¯era group'' (including Brassaiopsis, Dendropanax, Eleutherococcus, Fatsia, Hedera, Oreopanax, Schef¯era, Sinopanax, and their close allies). The ITS trees also permit a re-evaluation of several taxonomically important morphological characters (e.g., petal aestivation, leaf architecture, carpel number, and habit), and provide the opportunity to assess traditional generic delimitations in the family.

  • A Baseline Study – Native and Endemic Species – Terrestrial Plants
    The Barachois Project – A Baseline Study – Native and Endemic Species – Terrestrial Plants Author: Giles Atkinson, Biological Sciences (BSc) University of Bristol Intern for the Barachois Project from June-September 2017 Completed September 2017 Acknowledgements: Vurdapa Naicken B. Florens V. Dr. Azzopardi V.Lascar R-M. Siniska B.Monrose S. Deja E. Vishwakalyan B.Baider C.Dr. Pynee K. Study Area: Coastal forest adjacent to the barachois of Residences la Chaux, Mahébourg Foreword: This document forms part of a baseline study carried out for the Barachois Project (EPCO) in Residences la Chaux, Mauritius and contains a catalogue of terrestrial plants (embryophytes) which are currently present in the site or will be introduced in subsequent project phases. The document is split into two parts: alien and native/endemic species. A map of the project site has been provided alongside the report to divide it into zones (1-6). These are intended to break up the study area into sections to which the distributions of plants included in the study are assigned for ease of locating them in the field. These are referenced in the descriptions for each species. Zones are not intended to document complete distributions but show areas where individual species are most likely to be found based on the authors personal experience at the time of the study. For endemic and native species, where possible, descriptions have been provided containing morphological, ecological and ethnobotanical information. This information will be used for the creation of interpretative panels which are to be constructed in the project site for educational purposes. For the second catalogue, of all exotic plants it was not possible to create full descriptions for each species given the length of time available and number of exotic species within the study area.
