EDERf •Department of Botany, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas 66045-2106; and t Department of Biological Sciences, Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, Illinois 62026-1651 The relationship between leaf anatomy, specifically the percent of leaf volume occupied by water- storage parenchyma (hydrenchyma), and the contribution of respiratory C02 during Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) was investigated in 12 epiphytic species of Tillandsia. It has been postulated that the hydrenchyma, which contributes to C02 exchange through respiration only, may be causally related to the recently observed phenomenon of C02 recycling during CAM. Among the 12 species of Tillandsia, leaves of T. usneoides and T. bergeri exhibited 0% hydrenchyma, while the hydrenchyma in the other species ranged from 2.9% to 53% of leaf cross-sectional area. Diurnal malate fluctuation and nighttime atmospheric C02 uptake were measured in at least four individuals of each species. A significant excess of diurnal malate fluctuation as compared with atmospheric C02 absorbed overnight was observed only in T. schiedeana. This species had an intermediate proportion (30%) of hydrenchyma in its leaves. Results of this study do not support the hypothesis that C02 recycling during CAM may reflect respiratory contributions of C02 from the tissue hydrenchyma.

    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. Al- rededor de 350 000 especies de algas han sido descritas en los últimos 200 años (Brodie y Zucarello, 2007).

  • Multi-National Conservation of Alligator Lizards
    MULTI-NATIONAL CONSERVATION OF ALLIGATOR LIZARDS: APPLIED SOCIOECOLOGICAL LESSONS FROM A FLAGSHIP GROUP by ADAM G. CLAUSE (Under the Direction of John Maerz) ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is defined by unprecedented human influence on the biosphere. Integrative conservation recognizes this inextricable coupling of human and natural systems, and mobilizes multiple epistemologies to seek equitable, enduring solutions to complex socioecological issues. Although a central motivation of global conservation practice is to protect at-risk species, such organisms may be the subject of competing social perspectives that can impede robust interventions. Furthermore, imperiled species are often chronically understudied, which prevents the immediate application of data-driven quantitative modeling approaches in conservation decision making. Instead, real-world management goals are regularly prioritized on the basis of expert opinion. Here, I explore how an organismal natural history perspective, when grounded in a critique of established human judgements, can help resolve socioecological conflicts and contextualize perceived threats related to threatened species conservation and policy development. To achieve this, I leverage a multi-national system anchored by a diverse, enigmatic, and often endangered New World clade: alligator lizards. Using a threat analysis and status assessment, I show that one recent petition to list a California alligator lizard, Elgaria panamintina, under the US Endangered Species Act often contradicts the best available science.

    FLORIDA WEST COAST BROMELIAD SOCIETY 1954-2014 Celebrating 60 Years of Bromeliads floridabromeliads.org July 2014 Newsletter NEXT MEETING Date & Time: Location: Tuesday, July 1 Good Samaritan Church Doors open at 7 pm; meeting starts at 7:30 6085 Park Boulevard Pinellas Park, Florida 33781 Program Dennis Cathcart’s presentation, New Explorations and Discoveries in Brazil--Part I, is based on the recent five-week trip he and his wife Linda took to Brazil that took them through four of Brazil’s 26 states. Their objectives were to find Dyckias and other terrestrial bromeliads and visit some of the bromeliad colonies they had known from past visits to Brazil. Along the way they found the Dyckias and so much more—varied scenery, diverse biological zones and climates, wildlife, insects, and plants. Hopefully the ‘Part I’ in the title means we can look forward to additional chapters in their 2014 Brazil tour story. Dennis and Linda have owned and operated Tropiflora Nursery in Sarasota, Florida, since 1976. The nursery specializes in rare and exotic plants, primarily bromeliads along with orchids, cycads, caudiciforms, succulents, ferns, palms and more. It is one of the largest collector-oriented exotic plant nurseries in the United States and has over 200,000 square feet of greenhouses. Many of the plants in their collection were collected by them as seeds and cuttings on their more than100 collecting expeditions made in over 35 years and in 27 countries.

  • Water Relations of Bromeliaceae in Their Evolutionary Context
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2016, 181, 415–440. With 2 figures Think tank: water relations of Bromeliaceae in their evolutionary context JAMIE MALES* Department of Plant Sciences, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EA, UK Received 31 July 2015; revised 28 February 2016; accepted for publication 1 March 2016 Water relations represent a pivotal nexus in plant biology due to the multiplicity of functions affected by water status. Hydraulic properties of plant parts are therefore likely to be relevant to evolutionary trends in many taxa. Bromeliaceae encompass a wealth of morphological, physiological and ecological variations and the geographical and bioclimatic range of the family is also extensive. The diversification of bromeliad lineages is known to be correlated with the origins of a suite of key innovations, many of which relate directly or indirectly to water relations. However, little information is known regarding the role of change in morphoanatomical and hydraulic traits in the evolutionary origins of the classical ecophysiological functional types in Bromeliaceae or how this role relates to the diversification of specific lineages. In this paper, I present a synthesis of the current knowledge on bromeliad water relations and a qualitative model of the evolution of relevant traits in the context of the functional types. I use this model to introduce a manifesto for a new research programme on the integrative biology and evolution of bromeliad water-use strategies. The need for a wide-ranging survey of morphoanatomical and hydraulic traits across Bromeliaceae is stressed, as this would provide extensive insight into structure– function relationships of relevance to the evolutionary history of bromeliads and, more generally, to the evolutionary physiology of flowering plants.

  • 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.
