DEDICATORIA "Bendice alma mía al Señor, y no olvides ninguno de sus beneficios, Él es quien te corona de favores y misericordias" Salmos 103:1 Dedico esta tesis a los motores de mi vida: Al Dios Todopoderoso del que habla la Biblia (ese es el Dios en quien yo creo). Gracias porque fuiste mi refugio, mi consuelo, mi amigo, mi maestro, quien abrió mi entendimiento cuando lo único que leía en los artículos y libros eran palabras que no entendía. Para mí, esta tesis es un milagro, pues después de un año de estar en el posgrado, me di cuenta que debía empezar de cero, y que no tenía ni la más remota idea para desarrollar una nueva tesis doctoral, que no había financiamiento, que no tenía el conocimiento, que aun el lenguaje académico en esta área me era ajeno ... Pero Dios, tu estabas ahí, cuando te pedí con todo mi corazón y fe tu ayuda, tu respuesta llegó, casi casi como un plan de auxilio en caso de desastre (similar al DN-111 E de la Secretaria de la Defensa Nacional); fuiste acomodando las piezas del rompecabezas, libros, artículos, amigos, asesoría, etc. Gracias por este milagro, gracias por la oportunidad me diste de seguir estudiando. A mi familia, por su amor, apoyo, consejos, comprensión, ayuda en los momentos difíciles y por proveer los recursos necesarios para estudiar. Gracias por impulsarme y gracias por no dejarme tirar la toalla, gracias por la confianza que tuvieron en mí, sin su apoyo hubiera sido imposible. Los amo.

He was not in mourning from the Crows loss. Margaret and I were giving the main talk on a visit to northern NSW and these days when we do such visits we are often asked for advice on names, never on culture. I wonder why? As such the meeting was on a querying note, where members had to have their brains in gear.

  • Beginner's Guide to Bromeliad Names by Derek Butcher May 2015
    Beginner’s Guide to Bromeliad Names by Derek Butcher May 2015 This is a general look at Bromeliad names because, as in life, there are always exceptions to the rule! First let us look at plants found in the wild which Botanists are interested in and which are given two Latin names. One is the genus – or surname and the other is the species name - or given name. Plants have been given these names for some 300 years and there has been duplication and different interpretation which means that various botanists over the years have changed names and also have relegated some names to what we call synonymy. See The New Bromeliad Taxon List at: http://botu07.bio.uu.nl/bcg/taxonList.php This is a list of what I have recorded and the current name is in bold letters. If a botanists name is in brackets it means that he gave the original species name but someone later has changed the genus name. 1 Whenever a new species is named you should have a herbarium specimen or equivalent and a written description. A couple of examples of species: (note the bold black writing in The New Bromeliad Taxon List) Acanthostachys pitcairnioides Acanthostachys strobilacea Jose Donayre 2 Now to a plant you should be familiar with - Aechmea fasciata and how the botanist sees it. You may first see the old names that have been used in the past. But let us concentrate on the bold black. You may have plants with two of the names but what about the other two.

  • GENOME EVOLUTION in MONOCOTS a Dissertation
    GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School At the University of Missouri In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Kate L. Hertweck Dr. J. Chris Pires, Dissertation Advisor JULY 2011 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS Presented by Kate L. Hertweck A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Dr. J. Chris Pires Dr. Lori Eggert Dr. Candace Galen Dr. Rose‐Marie Muzika ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to many people for their assistance during the course of my graduate education. I would not have derived such a keen understanding of the learning process without the tutelage of Dr. Sandi Abell. Members of the Pires lab provided prolific support in improving lab techniques, computational analysis, greenhouse maintenance, and writing support. Team Monocot, including Dr. Mike Kinney, Dr. Roxi Steele, and Erica Wheeler were particularly helpful, but other lab members working on Brassicaceae (Dr. Zhiyong Xiong, Dr. Maqsood Rehman, Pat Edger, Tatiana Arias, Dustin Mayfield) all provided vital support as well. I am also grateful for the support of a high school student, Cady Anderson, and an undergraduate, Tori Docktor, for their assistance in laboratory procedures. Many people, scientist and otherwise, helped with field collections: Dr. Travis Columbus, Hester Bell, Doug and Judy McGoon, Julie Ketner, Katy Klymus, and William Alexander. Many thanks to Barb Sonderman for taking care of my greenhouse collection of many odd plants brought back from the field.

    EENY161 Mexican Bromeliad Weevil (suggested common name), Metamasius callizona (Chevrolat) (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae)1 Barba Larson and J. Howard Frank2 Barber, the smallest of the three and native to Florida, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic, has been collected in Florida infrequently. Unlike Metamasius callizona, its presence does not threaten populations of native bromeli- ads in Florida’s natural areas. The third species, Metamasius hempipterus sericeus (Olivier), was first reported in Florida in Miami-Dade County in 1984 and has since become an important pest of sugarcane, bananas, and ornamental palms.

Credits: H. Nadel, University of Florida Introduction and History Metamasius callizona (Chevrolat) has no accepted common name, but it has been referred to as the “Evil Weevil” by bromeliad enthusiasts throughout Florida, as a result of the destruction it has caused to native populations of bromeli- ads in the southern portion of the state.

  • An Alphabetical List of Bromeliad Binomials
    AN ALPHABETICAL LIST OF BROMELIAD BINOMIALS Compiled by HARRY E. LUTHER The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens Sarasota, Florida, USA ELEVENTH EDITION Published by the Bromeliad Society International June 2008 ii INTRODUCTION TO EDITION XI This list is presented as a spelling guide for validly published taxa accepted at the Bromeliad Identification Center. The list contains the following information: 1) Genus number (the left-hand number) based on the systematic sequence published in the Smith & Downs monograph: Bromeliaceae (Flora Neotropica, number 14, parts 1-3; 1974, 1977, 1979). Whole numbers are as published in the monograph. 2) Species number (the second number) according to its systematic position in the monograph. Note: Taxa not included in the monograph or that have been reclassified have been assigned numbers to reflect their systematic position within the Smith & Downs framework (e.g., taxon 14.1 is related to taxon 14). The utility of this method is that one may assume for example that Tillandsia comarapaensis (150.2) is related to T. didisticha (150) and therefore may have certain horticultural qualities in common with that species. 3) Genus and species names follow the respective numbers. 4) Subspecific taxa (subspecies, varieties, forms) names are indented below the species names. Note: Variety "a" (the type variety) is not listed unless it contains a form (see Aechmea caudata ). Similarly, the type form is not listed. 5) Author name follows the specific and subspecific names. These names are included for the convenience of specialist users of the list. This list does not contain publication data or synonymy, as it is not our intent for it to be a technical nomenclatural guide.
