From this extract, five new eudesmane-type sesquiterpe- noids were isolated along with eighteen known compounds, and their structures were elucidated on the basis of MS, IH-NMR and 13C-NMR data. Among them, eleven phenolic compounds, four flavonoids, two lignans and five caffeoyl quinic acid derivatives were examined for their antioxidative activity using the ferric thiocyanate method, and nine compounds indicated a stronger antioxidative activity than the standard natural antioxidant, a-tocopherol at a con- centration of 0.5 mM. Especially, two flavonoids were identified as stronger antioxidants than BHA. The scavenging effect of the phenolic compounds on the stable radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl was examined. All tested com- pounds showed this scavenging effect, with the effect of five caffeoyl quinic acid derivatives and three flavonoids being almost twice or more that of a-tocopherol at a concentration of 0.01 mM.

  • 1 Sistemática Filogenética De Pterocaulon E Wunderlichia
    Sistemática filogenética de Pterocaulon e Wunderlichia (Asteraceae) Pesquisador responsável: Dr. João Semir Universidade Estadual de Campinas Resumo A grande variabilidade morfológica que as plantas apresentam permite a caracterização e o reconhecimento das espécies, constituindo assim, a base da taxonomia. O número de caracteres utilizados para o reconhecimento das espécies aumentou muito ao longo da história da classificação dos organismos e, nas últimas décadas este acréscimo foi ainda maior devido aos avanços oriundos de estudos moleculares. Atualmente técnicas utilizando dados moleculares associados aos dados morfológicos são excelentes fontes de informação para os estudos de evolução e reconstrução filogenética. Asteraceae é a maior família entre as Angiospermas, possui cerca de 24.000 espécies distribuídas em 1.600 gêneros dem distribuição cosmopolita. Nos Neotrópicos a diversidade da família é de aproximadamente 580 gêneros e 8.040 espécies. Para o Brasil são referidas 1.960 espécies distribuídas em 288 gêneros, representando a terceira maior família de plantas com flores para o Brasil, colocando-o como um centro de diversidade das Asteraceae. O presente projeto faz parte dos estudos para o conhecimento da diversidade das Asteraceae brasileiras e tem como objetivo reconstruir hipóteses filogenéticas dos gêneros Pterocaulon e Wunderlichia, com base em dados moleculares, permitindo o estudo e interpretação da evolução de caracteres morfológicos importantes para a circunscrição desses gêneros. Para este propósito, além dos dados moleculares, serão utilizadas ferramentas, como o estudo taxonômico e cromossômico. Os resultados serão apresentados em forma de artigos, publicados em periódicos e também divulgados em reuniões científicas. O desenvolvimento deste projeto é importante, pois será realizado por meio de parcerias com pesquisadores de outras áreas da botânica sendo possível ampliar o conhecimento dos táxons em análise, contribuindo para melhorar a compreensão acerca da diversidade, biologia e conservação dos mesmos.

  • Mollusks and a Crustacean from Early Oligocene Methane-Seep Deposits in the Talara Basin, Northern Peru
    Mollusks and a crustacean from early Oligocene methane-seep deposits in the Talara Basin, northern Peru STEFFEN KIEL, FRIDA HYBERTSEN, MATÚŠ HYŽNÝ, and ADIËL A. KLOMPMAKER Kiel, S., Hybertsen, F., Hyžný, M., and Klompmaker, A.A. 2020. Mollusks and a crustacean from early Oligocene methane- seep deposits in the Talara Basin, northern Peru. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 65 (1): 109–138. A total of 25 species of mollusks and crustaceans are reported from Oligocene seep deposits in the Talara Basin in north- ern Peru. Among these, 12 are identified to the species-level, including one new genus, six new species, and three new combinations. Pseudophopsis is introduced for medium-sized, elongate-oval kalenterid bivalves with a strong hinge plate and largely reduced hinge teeth, rough surface sculpture and lacking a pallial sinus. The new species include two bivalves, three gastropods, and one decapod crustacean: the protobranch bivalve Neilo altamirano and the vesicomyid bivalve Pleurophopsis talarensis; among the gastropods, the pyropeltid Pyropelta seca, the provannid Provanna pelada, and the hokkaidoconchid Ascheria salina; the new crustacean is the callianassid Eucalliax capsulasetaea. New combina- tions include the bivalves Conchocele tessaria, Lucinoma zapotalensis, and Pseudophopsis peruviana. Two species are shared with late Eocene to Oligocene seep faunas in Washington state, USA: Provanna antiqua and Colus sekiuensis; the Talara Basin fauna shares only genera, but no species with Oligocene seep fauna in other regions. Further noteworthy aspects of the molluscan fauna include the remarkable diversity of four limpet species, the oldest record of the cocculinid Coccopigya, and the youngest record of the largely seep-restricted genus Ascheria.

Botanists who have not encountered woody Inuleae may be surprised to learn that wood of Brachylaena merana has been used for carpentry and for railroad ties in Madagascar (Lecomte, 1922), that of Tarchonanthtts camphorattts for musical instruments in Africa (Hoffmann, 1889-1894) and that the wood of Brachylaena (Synchodendrttm) ramiflomm is described as "resistant to rot, hard and dense, known to be of great durability" (Lecomte, 1922). In Argentina, the relatively soft wood of T essaria integrifolia is used "in paper making and also in the construction of ranchos" (Cabrera, 1939). All of these species are trees. Tessaria and Brachylaena also contain shrubs as well. Most other species included in this study could be considered shrubs (Plttchea, Cassinia) or woody herbs. The geographical distribution of Inuleae roughly reflects the relative woodiness of genera and species, because there is a tendency for the more woody species to occur in tropical regions, shrubby species in subtropical areas, and herbs in temperate or montane situations.

As in so many dicot families, however, related woody genera occur in tropical and subtropical regions. Botanists who have not encountered woody Inuleae may be surprised to learn that wood of Brachylaena merana has been used for carpentry and for railroad ties in Madagascar (Lecomte, 1922), that of Tarchonanthus camphoraus for musical instruments in Africa (Hoffmann, 1889-1894) and that the wood of Brachylaena (Synchodendrum) ramiflorum is described as “resistant to rot, hard and dense, known to be of great durability” (Lecomte, 1922).

Tessaria and Brachylaena also contain shrubs as well. Most other species included in this study could be considered shrubs (Pluchea, Cassinia) or woody herbs. The geographical distribution of Inuleae roughly reflects the relative woodiness of genera and species, because there is a tendency for the more woody species to occur in tropical regions, shrubby species in subtropical areas, and herbs in temperate or montane situations. The genus Pluchea, for example, is represented by one woody species in the southern United States, P. sericea, which extends from southern California to Texas and Baja California. Other North American species are markedly herbaceous. The somewhat more woody species of Pluchea studied here are native to warm, dry parts of Indomalaysia.

In this chapter, we attempt to describe the major types of vegetation cover in this vast region as they occurred in pre- Columbian times and outline the conditions that support them. Examining the large-scale phytogeographic regions characterized by each major cover type (see Fig. I), we provide basic information on geology, geological history, topography, and climate; describe variants of physiognomy (vegetation structure) and geography; discuss transitions; and examine some floristic patterns and affinities within and among these regions.

  • Tyrannidae: Pseudocolopteryx) in Paraguay, Including a New Country Record
    Revista Brasileira de Ornitologia, 22(2), 180-188 ARTICLE June 2014 Status and distribution of the doraditos (Tyrannidae: Pseudocolopteryx) in Paraguay, including a new country record Paul Smith1,2,4, Arne J. Lesterhuis3 and Rob P. Clay3 1 Fauna Paraguay, Encarnación, Paraguay. www.faunaparaguay.com 2 Para La Tierra, Reserva Natural Laguna Blanca, Santa Rosa del Aguaray, San Pedro, Paraguay. 3 BirdLife International–Americas Secretariat, Gaetano Martino 215, Asunción, Paraguay. 4 Corresponding author: [email protected] Received on 18 August 2013. Accepted on 14 December 2013. ABSTRACT: The doraditos (Pseudocolopteryx spp.) are a little-known group of small, yellow-breasted tyrants, distributed mainly in southern South America. All five species occur in Paraguay, including Pseudocolopteryx citreola, here documented in the country for the first time. The distribution and habitat preferences of the species in Paraguay are clarified, and well-documented records for the three rarest species P. acutipennis, citreola, and dinelliana are listed in full. Owing to the difficulty in distinguishing between the species, a field key is provided to assist observers in making correct field identifications. KEY-WORDS: Pseudocolopteryx acutipennis, Pseudocolopteryx citreola, Pseudocolopteryx dinelliana, Pseudocolopteryx flaviventris, Pseudocolopteryx sclateri, migrant. INTRODUCTION represents a challenge that is exacerbated by plumage wear and poorly known juvenile plumages. The doraditos, genus Pseudocolopteryx Lillo 1905, are a All doraditos give rather quiet, scratchy calls, but group of small tyrants (Tyrannidae) with their center only in the last decade has the importance of these of distribution in the southern cone of South America vocalizations for identification become apparent, and (Traylor & Fitzpatrick 1982). Though the populations of vocal analyses were an important factor in the recent most species are migratory or undergo local movements, revalidation of the cryptic P.
