    Biodiversidad en Campeche Reino Vegetal Macroalgas INTRODUCC I ÓN Las macroalgas son organismos eucariontes multicelulares, fotoau- tótrofos, de arquitectura clonal y estrategia de crecimiento modular, marinos y asociados al sustrato (son bentónicos). Los grupos prin- cipales son las algas verdes (Chlorophyta), las pardas o café (Hete- rokontophyta) y las rojas (Rhodophyta). Constituyen junto a Cyano- bacteria y Eubacteria (Prokaria) grupos evolutivamente ancestrales en Abel Sentíes G. relación, por ejemplo, con las plantas terrestres (quienes comparten y Kurt M. Dreckmann un ancestro común con Chlorophyta). En el mismo tenor, ancestros del tipo rhodophyta, cyanobacteria y eubacteria, a lo largo de eventos endosimbióticos, dieron lugar a la actual organización eucarionte (el primer eucarionte conocido es un fósil del tipo rhodophyta encontrado en rocas de 2.1 billones de años (Brodie y Lewis, 2007). Si bien son grupos morfo-anatómicamente sencillos, las macroalgas despliegan fisiologías y comportamientos reproductivos y ecológicos altamente complejos. DI VERS I DAD El grupo de las algas, en general, puede ser categorizado de acuerdo a su tamaño, en micro y macroalgas. Aquellas que van desde menos de 10 hasta 100 micrometros son consideradas microalgas (forman parte del fitoplancton), y son el objeto de estudio de la microficología, aquellas que van desde las 100 micras (visibles porque miden más de 1 milímetro) a varias decenas de centímetros (como el caso de Macro- 198 La Biodiversidad en Campeche cystis piryfera o kelps que llega a medir más de 30) son categorizadas como macroalgas y son el objeto de estudio de la ficología marina.

  • The Value of Live Oaks
    The Value of Live Oaks Timothy E. Fulbright, David G. Hewitt, William P. Kuvlesky, Jr., and Thomas M. Langschied © Wyman Meinzer Wildlife Management Bulletin of the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute Texas A&M University-Kingsville Management Bulletin No. 7 2008 The Value of Live Oaks Timothy E. Fulbright, David G. Hewitt, William P. Kuvlesky, Jr., and Thomas M. Langschied Caesar KIeberg Wildlife Research Institute 700 University Blvd., MSC 218 Texas A&M University-Kingsville, Kingsville, Texas 78363-8202 Abstract: Live oaks are an ecologically important component of the diverse landscape in South Texas. Live oaks are beneficial to wildlife, including many species that are either of economic value or are threatened or endangered. Live oaks provide valuable mast, browse, and cover for white-tailed deer and are an essential component of wild turkey habitat. More than 80% of the 332 species of long-distance North American migrants travel through the Texas Coastal Bend. A reduction in live oak forests potentially could decrease populations of these birds because they are valuable stopover habitats for migrating birds. Live oaks provide nesting habitat for many bird species, some of which have a very limited range in the U.S. Live oak forests should be a high priority for conservation because of their significant role in the ecology of South Texas and their importance for a broad variety of wildlife. INTRODUCTION South Texas. For example, live oak occurs as part of a diverse woody plant complex with mesquite and blue- Live oak forests and mottes are a unique, ecologi- wood in parts of Bee, San Patricio, Goliad, and Refugio cally important, and ancient component of the diverse counties.

They are most always epiphytic growing on trees and shrubs to gain better access to sunlight; an occasional species is found on rocks or on the ground (e.g., T. dasyliriifolia). Many have gray/silvery, scaly leaves (e.g., T. pruinosa, T. streptophylla). The scales (or “trichomes”) help capture water and nutrients from the environment. Some spe- cies form water-holding tanks by means of their overlapping leaves. These tanks are rich with nutrients from the environment, provide sustenance for the plant, and create important habitat for animals in the forest canopy. The genus is found throughout Belize, but reaches its peak of species diversity on the high summits of the Maya Mountains.

  • Bromeliad Flora of Oaxaca, Mexico: Richness and Distribution
    Acta Botanica Mexicana 81: 71-147 (2007) BROMELIAD FLORA OF OAXACA, MEXICO: RICHNESS AND DISTRIBUTION ADOLFO ESPEJO-SERNA1, ANA ROSA LÓPEZ-FERRARI1,NANCY MARTÍNEZ-CORRea1 AND VALERIA ANGÉLICA PULIDO-ESPARZA2 1Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Iztapalapa, División de Ciencias Biológicas y de la Salud, Departamento de Biología, Herbario Metropolitano, Apdo. postal 55-535, 09340 México, D.F., México. [email protected] 2El Colegio de la Frontera Sur - San Cristóbal de las Casas, Laboratorio de Análisis de Información Geográfica y Estadística, Chiapas, México. [email protected] ABSTRACT The current knowledge of the bromeliad flora of the state of Oaxaca, Mexico is presented. Oaxaca is the Mexican state with the largest number of bromeliad species. Based on the study of 2,624 herbarium specimens corresponding to 1,643 collections, and a detailed bibliographic revision, we conclude that the currently known bromeliad flora for Oaxaca comprises 172 species and 15 genera. All Mexican species of the genera Bromelia, Fosterella, Greigia, Hohenbergiopsis, Racinaea, and Vriesea are represented in the state. Aechmea nudicaulis, Bromelia hemisphaerica, Catopsis nitida, C. oerstediana, C. wawranea, Pitcairnia schiedeana, P. tuerckheimii, Racinaea adscendens, Tillandsia balbisiana, T. belloensis, T. brachycaulos, T. compressa, T. dugesii, T. foliosa, T. flavobracteata, T. limbata, T. maritima, T. ortgiesiana, T. paucifolia, T. pseudobaileyi, T. rettigiana, T. utriculata, T. x marceloi, Werauhia pycnantha, and W. nutans are recorded for the first time from Oaxaca. Collections from 226 (of 570) municipalities and all 30 districts of the state were studied. Among the vegetation types occurring in Oaxaca, oak forest is the richest with 83 taxa, followed by tropical deciduous forest with 74, and cloud forest with 73 species.
