Its aim is to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival. In the CITES legislation organisms are classified in 3 categories depending on how endangered they are thought to be, or the degree of protection they are thought to need (CITES-Website 2012); ! Appendix I includes species threatened with extinction. Trade in specimens of these species is permitted only in exceptional circumstances. Import and export or re-export permits are required, issued by the Management Authority of the State of Import, Export or Re-Export. ! Appendix II includes species where trade is allowed but restricted. An export or re-export certificate is required, but no import permit is needed unless required by national law. !

    JULY EVENTS Monthly Meeting : 8:00 pm Monday, July 8, 2019 Atlanta Botanical Garden, Day Hall Program: Mark Reinke: ”Growing and Breeding Miniature and Compact Cattleyas” We will be taking our speaker to dinner at 6:00 at Ru San’s near the garden at Piedmont and Monroe. If you’d like to join us please let HB know you are coming. B u l l e t i n Our speaker for the July meeting will be Mark July 2019 Reinke from Marble Branch Farms. Mark and his partner Gary Collier joined the Atlanta Orchid Society in 2002. Two years later in 2004 they moved to the westernmost county in South Carolina, at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains and started their own small plant nursery specializing in orchids and hardy carnivorous plants. While the business is just over a decade old, Mark got his first orchid plants at the age of 12 and has now been growing them for 51 years. He now has his own seed sowing lab and does some of his own hybridizing, mainly in miniature and compact Cattleyas, Encyclia, and recently in some unusual Dendrobium and Paphiopedilum breeding. Mark‟s program is entitled “Growing and Breeding Miniature and Compact Cattleyas.” It is a study in the history and development of our modern miniature and compact cattleyas. In addition to great photos and an interesting story line, it covers Mark Reinke with one of his cattleya creations. the best cultural practices for the various breeding lines that have descended from particular species and how to best grow them.

Here we synthesize the available literature on their population ecology in an attempt to find patterns that may characterize them. Epiphytes tend to have specialized pollination systems frequently involving animal vectors, resulting in a mixture of selfing and outcrossing that ensures abundant seed production. Seed dispersal is anemochorous in 84 % of the species and is pivotal for the establishment of new local populations within metapopulation. Seed germination is highly dependent on specific environmental conditions, resulting in seedling establishment in particular microhabitats on phorophytes. Individual growth rates are slow and limited by the low water and nutrient availability characteristic of the epiphytic habitat. Population growth rates (λ) are close to unity and depend mostly on the survival of adults. This plant group is highly vulnerable to habitat loss and climate change. Resumen: Las angiospermas epífitas representan ca. 10 % de las plantas con flores del mundo y son elementos clave en los bosques tropicales. Aquí sintetizamos la literatura disponible sobre su ecología de poblaciones en un intento por encontrar patrones que las puedan caracterizar.
