  • Dispersal of a Neotropical Nutmeg (Virola Sebifera) by Birds
    DISPERSAL OF A NEOTROPICAL NUTMEG (VIROLA SEBIFERA) BY BIRDS HENRY F. HOWE Program in Evolutionary Ecologyand Behavior, Department of Zoology, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa 52242 USA Al•ST•CT.--Feeding assemblagesof birds were observedat a Panamanian population of Virola sebifera (Myristicaceae) in order to test the hypothesisthat plants producing especiallynutritious fruits in limited supply should be efficiently dispersedby a small set of obligate frugivores. Virola sebifera producesan encapsulatedarillate seedthat is swallowed by birds shortly after dehiscence. The aril (54% lipid, 7% protein, 8% usable carbohydrate) is retained; the seed is regurgitated intact within 10-30 min. The plant produces 1-96 (Yc= 24) ripe arillate seedseach day, of which 40-89% (Yc= 76%) are taken within a few hours of dawn. The visitor assemblageconsists of six resident frugivores. Three [Chestnut-mandibledToucan (Ramphastosswainsonii), Keel-billed Toucans (R. sulfuratus), and Masked Tityra (Tityra semifasciata)] are "regulars," likely to visit all trees; three [Slaty-tailed Trogon (2•rogonmassena), Rufous Motmot (Baryphthengus martii), and Collared Aracari (Pteroglossustorquatus) are common throughout the Barro Colorado Forest but do not consistently use Virola sebifera. The Chestnut-mandibled Toucan is responsiblefor 43% of the seedsremoved by birds, although it is also responsiblefor more seedwaste (regurgi- tation under the tree crown) than other visitors. Rapid depletion of available fruits each morning and active defense of the crowns by toucans suggest a limited and preferred food resource for "regulars"in the assemblage. A review of recent work indicatesthat the assemblagevisiting Virola sebiferais similar to that frequenting its larger congener (V. surinamensis) but is far smaller and more specialized than those visiting other fruiting trees in the same forest.

E-mail: Abstract: The Rondônia Natural Resources Management Project (PLANAFLORO) was a strategic program developed in partnership between the Brazilian Government and The World Bank in 1992, with the purpose of stimulating the sustainable development and protection of the Amazon in the state of Rondônia. More than a decade after the PLANAFORO program concluded, the aim of the present work is to recover and share the information from the long-abandoned plant collections made during the project’s ecological-economic zoning phase. Most of the material analyzed was sterile, but the fertile voucher specimens recovered are listed here. The material examined represents 378 species in 234 genera and 76 families of angiosperms. Some 8 genera, 68 species, 3 subspecies and 1 variety are new records for Rondônia State. It is our intention that this information will stimulate future studies and contribute to a better understanding and more effective conservation of the plant diversity in the southwestern Amazon of Brazil. Introduction The PLANAFLORO Project funded botanical expeditions In early 1990, Brazilian Amazon was facing remarkably in different areas of the state to inventory arboreal plants high rates of forest conversion (Laurance et al.

  • A Molecular Taxonomic Treatment of the Neotropical Genera
    An Intrageneric and Intraspecific Study of Morphological and Genetic Variation in the Neotropical Compsoneura and Virola (Myristicaceae) by Royce Allan David Steeves A Thesis Presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Botany Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Royce Steeves, August, 2011 ABSTRACT AN INTRAGENERIC AND INTRASPECIFIC STUDY OF MORPHOLOGICAL AND GENETIC VARIATION IN THE NEOTROPICAL COMPSONEURA AND VIROLA (MYRISTICACEAE) Royce Allan David Steeves Advisor: University of Guelph, 2011 Dr. Steven G. Newmaster The Myristicaceae, or nutmeg family, consists of 21 genera and about 500 species of dioecious canopy to sub canopy trees that are distributed worldwide in tropical rainforests. The Myristicaceae are of considerable ecological and ethnobotanical significance as they are important food for many animals and are harvested by humans for timber, spices, dart/arrow poison, medicine, and a hallucinogenic snuff employed in medico-religious ceremonies. Despite the importance of the Myristicaceae throughout the wet tropics, our taxonomic knowledge of these trees is primarily based on the last revision of the five neotropical genera completed in 1937. The objective of this thesis was to perform a molecular and morphological study of the neotropical genera Compsoneura and Virola. To this end, I generated phylogenetic hypotheses, surveyed morphological and genetic diversity of focal species, and tested the ability of DNA barcodes to distinguish species of wild nutmegs. Morphological and molecular analyses of Compsoneura. indicate a deep divergence between two monophyletic clades corresponding to informal sections Hadrocarpa and Compsoneura. Although 23 loci were tested for DNA variability, only the trnH-psbA intergenic spacer contained enough variation to delimit 11 of 13 species sequenced.

  • Biologia Reprodutiva E Fenologia De Virola Sebifera Aubl. (Myristicaceae) Em Mata Mesofítica De Uberlândia, MG, Brasil EDDIE LENZA1,3 E PAULO EUGÊNIO OLIVEIRA2
    Revista Brasil. Bot., V.29, n.3, p.443-451, jul.-set. 2006 Biologia reprodutiva e fenologia de Virola sebifera Aubl. (Myristicaceae) em mata mesofítica de Uberlândia, MG, Brasil EDDIE LENZA1,3 e PAULO EUGÊNIO OLIVEIRA2 (recebido: 3 de novembro de 2005; aceito: 27 de julho de 2006) ABSTRACT – (Reproductive biology and phenology of Virola sebifera Aubl. (Myristicaceae) in a mesophytic forest of Uberlândia, MG, Brazil). We studied some aspects of the floral and reproductive biology of Virola sebifera Aubl., a dioecious woody species of mesophytic forest in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais. The sex of 54 individuals in the study area was determined in three consecutive reproductive periods. Reproductive phenology of 11 individuals of each sex was followed from October 1998 to April 2000. The sex ratio was always male biased and no sex change was observed, which indicates sexual stability. The flowering was annual, relatively long and massive (cornucopia type) with male individuals blooming earlier and for a longer period than the female ones. Flowers, grouped in paniculate inflorescences, were small (3 and 4 mm long for male and female flowers respectively) and inconspicuous, with an infundibuliforme periant and inserted reproductive whorls. Both male and female flowers have long lifespan (ca. one week). Pollen in male flowers is the sole floral reward. Strong scent and similar flower morphology between sexes may lead to visits to rewardless female flowers (floral self-mimicry). Natural pollination resulted in relatively low number of initiated fruits (5.8%). Fruit-set from bagged unpollinated flowers (apomixis) were much lower than from natural pollination. These results show that V.

Data was gathered from direct observations of phenological events from 1989 to 2007 from marked and unmarked trees in different sites in the Osa Peninsula. Flowering and fruiting peaks were observed during the dry season (Decem- ber to March), with a second fruiting peak observed in the middle of the rainy season. We observed a large diversity in pheno- logical patterns, but similar numbers of species flowered and produced fruit in the dry and rainy season. A reduction in the num- ber of species in reproduction occurs in the months with the highest precipitation (August to October). Comparison of Osa phe- nological data with the phenology of wet and dry forests from Costa Rica and Panamá showed some similarities in the timing of phenological events. However, Osa species display a shift in phenological events with an earlier onset of flower and fruit produc- tion in comparison with other sites.

Abstract: We studied the distribution, mortality and association with plants, of 308 nests of the neotropical ant Paraponera clavata, in a pennanen! 50 hectare plot in old-growth forest on Barro Colorado island between September 1993 and February 1995. Ant nests were unifonnly dispersed throughout the plot, and significantly associated wíth the high plateau and patch of young forest in the plot. The average densíty was 6.2 nests per hectare. Mortality of nests was higher with increasing number of neighbors within 20 m, compared to those sep­ arated at greater distances. The mortality was between 13.36% and 69.64% depending on the census interval, and recruitmentbetween 22.63% and 31.72%. The nests were found in 84 plant species of 34 families, pertain­ ing to four life fonns: 76 species were trees, 5 were shrubs, 2 were palms and one was a liana. We tested for association between ant nests and lree species and tree size by examining whether nests were more common in certain categories Ihan would be expected by change.
