  • The Potential for Harvesting Fruits in Tropical Rainforests: New Data from Amazonian Peru
    Biodiversity and Conversation 2, 18-38 The potential for harvesting fruits in tropical rainforests: new data from Amazonian Peru OLIVER PHILLIPS* Department Of' Biology, Washington University, Campus Box 1137, 1 Brookings Drive, St Louis, MO 63130- 4899, USA Received 28 January 1992; accepted 18 February 1992 New data shows that edible fruit and nut production in Amazonian forests is substantially lower than most conservationists assume. Direct measures of production in Amazonian Peru show that two terra firrna forest types produced significantly less edible fruit than an alluvial soil forest. Swamp forest produced more edible fruit than any other forest type measured. Palms produce 60% of edible fruit productivity, averaged over three forest types, but the most preferred palm fruits are difficult to harvest because they are borne too high for easy access by collectors. Forest fruit collection in Amazonia is less productive in the short-term than all other food-producing activities except for hunting and cattle ranching. Technological, social and political changes are essential so that sustainable but intrinsically low-yielding extractive activities like fruit collecting become more attractive to Amazonians. Keywords: harvesting; rainforest; fruit and nut; Amazonian Peru Introduction In the last five years, there has been growing interest in the promise of sustained-yield collection of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) from tropical forests as an alternative to deforestation. The broad range of NTFPs harvested by forest-dwelling people includes medicinals, fruits, and industrial materials such as rubber and rattan. Potentially, the combined value of such prodcuts, available year-after-year on a sustainable basis, may make NTFP collection an attractive alternative to destructive uses of tropical forests (e.g.

Antônio Carlos 6627, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. ABSTRACT: The sesquiterpene lactones lychnopholide and eremantholide C were isolated from Lychnophora trichocarpha Spreng. (Asteraceae), which is a plant species native to the Brazilian Savannah or Cerrado and popularly known as arnica. Sesquiterpene lactones are known to present a variety of biological activities including antitumor activity. The present paper reports on the evaluation of the in vitro antitumor activity of lychnopholide and eremantholide C, in the National Cancer Institute, USA (NCI, USA), against a panel of 52 human tumor cell lines of major human tumors derived from nine cancer types. Lychnopholide disclosed significant activity against 30 cell lines of seven cancer types with IC100 (total growth concentration inhibition) values between 0.41 µM and 2.82 µM. Eremantholide C showed significant activity against 30 cell lines of eight cancer types with IC100 values between 21.40 µM and 53.70 µM. Lychnopholide showed values of lethal concentration 50 % (LC50) for 30 human tumor cell lines between 0.72 and 10.00 µM, whereas eremantholide C presented values of LC50 for 21 human tumor cell lines between 52.50 and 91.20 µM.

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.

Received: 25 March 2016 Returned for revision: 1 August 2016 Editorial decision: 3 November 2016 Published electronically: 10 January 2017 Background and Aims The breadfruit genus (Artocarpus, Moraceae) includes valuable underutilized fruit tree crops with a centre of diversity in Southeast Asia. It belongs to the monophyletic tribe Artocarpeae, whose only other members include two small neotropical genera. This study aimed to reconstruct the phylogeny, estimate diver- gence dates and infer ancestral ranges of Artocarpeae, especially Artocarpus, to better understand spatial and tem- poral evolutionary relationships and dispersal patterns in a geologically complex region. Methods To investigate the phylogeny and biogeography of Artocarpeae, this study used Bayesian and maximum likelihood approaches to analyze DNA sequences from six plastid and two nuclear regions from 75% of Artocarpus species, both neotropical Artocarpeae genera, and members of all other Moraceae tribes.

  • Medicinal Flora Consumption in Peru
    Ecosystems and Sustainable Development XI 173 MEDICINAL FLORA CONSUMPTION IN PERU ISABEL MARIA MADALENO The National Museum of Natural History and Science, University of Lisbon, Portugal ABSTRACT The current submission is the sequel of a Latin American project on the issue of medicinal flora growth, trade and consumption that was initiated about two decades ago, in 1997. The aim of the research is threefold: i) to offer information about medicinal plant species from tropical environments; ii) to describe best practices in urban and peri-urban sustainable agriculture and forest management projects; and iii) to improve research about the learning processes and fair use of medicinal flora natural resources. Methodology includes an archival investigation into the areas under scrutiny in early colonization times, so as to compare landscape descriptions from the 16th to the 18th century, as well as the use of plant species as food, fuel and for therapeutic applications, with the surveys conducted in our days. The study is a tale of two cities, field researched with a ten-year interval. The first one is Lima, the capital of Peru, within which 8 million metropolitan agglomerations included the port city of Callao in 2006. The second city is Piura, an urban centre of 1,844,100 inhabitants, explored in 2016. Results show an increase in medicinal flora consumption and trade, top ranking chamomile in both urban samples, a surprising fidelity in ten years and two different cities. As to environmental conservation and sustainable practices, results show that species named by the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, and Antonio Ulloa in the 16th and 18th centuries are still available; this gives us hope that the trend of exploitation is sustainable.

Haptanthus hazlettii was collected from Honduras (Central America) in 1980, but numerous attempts to re-collect it have failed. Reproductive organs of Haptanthus are unique among angiosperms and make the search for phylogenetic relations dif- fi cult. Unfortunately, all attempts to extract DNA from the existing sample were unsuccessful. • Methods : In 2010, we organized a small expedition to Honduras and were able to re-collect this plant, extract DNA from dried samples, and sequence the barcoding region of rbcL. • Key results and conclusions : We obtained phylogenetic trees with reliable support for the placement of Haptanthus as a new member of Buxaceae (boxwood family).

Available at: http://scholarship.claremont.edu/aliso/vol5/iss1/6 ALISO VOL. 5, No. 1, pp. 21-37 MAY 15, 1961 WOOD ANATOMY OF INULEAE (COMPOSITAE) SHERWIN CARLQUIST1 Claremont Graduate School, Claremont, California INTRODUCTION Inuleae familiar to North American botanists are mostly herbs, some of them among the most diminutive of annuals. As in so many dicot families, however, related woody genera occur in tropical and subtropical regions. Botanists who have not encountered woody Inuleae may be surprised to learn that wood of Brachylaena merana has been used for carpentry and for railroad ties in Madagascar (Lecomte, 1922), that of Tarchonanthtts camphorattts for musical instruments in Africa (Hoffmann, 1889-1894) and that the wood of Brachylaena (Synchodendrttm) ramiflomm is described as "resistant to rot, hard and dense, known to be of great durability" (Lecomte, 1922). In Argentina, the relatively soft wood of T essaria integrifolia is used "in paper making and also in the construction of ranchos" (Cabrera, 1939). All of these species are trees. Tessaria and Brachylaena also contain shrubs as well. Most other species included in this study could be considered shrubs (Plttchea, Cassinia) or woody herbs. The geographical distribution of Inuleae roughly reflects the relative woodiness of genera and species, because there is a tendency for the more woody species to occur in tropical regions, shrubby species in subtropical areas, and herbs in temperate or montane situations.
