  • Gradient Analysis of Exotic Species in Pinus Radiata Stands of Tenerife (Canary Islands) S
    The Open Forest Science Journal, 2009, 2, 63-69 63 Open Access Gradient Analysis of Exotic Species in Pinus radiata Stands of Tenerife (Canary Islands) S. Fernández-Lugo and J.R. Arévalo* Departamento de Ecología, Facultad de Biología, Universidad de La Laguna, La Laguna 38206, Spain Abstract: Identifying the factors that influence the spread of exotic species is essential for evaluating the present and future extent of plant invasions and for the development of eradication programs. We randomly established a network of 250 plots on an exotic Pinus radiata D. Don plantation on Tenerife Island in order to determine if roads and urban centers are favouring the spread of exotic plant species into the forest. We identified four distinct vegetation groups in the P. radiata stands: advanced laurel forest (ALF), undeveloped laurel forest (ULF), ruderal (RU), and Canarian pine stand (CPS). The groups farthest from roads and urban nuclei (ALF and CPS) have the best conserved vegetation, characterizing by the main species of the potential vegetation of the area and almost no exotic and ruderal species. On the other hand, the groups nearest to human infrastructures (ULF and RU) are characterized by species from potential vegetation’s substitution stages and a higher proportion of exotic and ruderal species. The results indicate distance to roads and urban areas are disturbance factors favouring the presence of exotic and ruderal species into the P. radiata plantation. We propose the eradication of some dangerous exotic species, monitoring of the study area in order to detect any intrusion of alien species in the best conserved areas and implementation of management activities to reduce the perturbation of the ULF and RU areas.

    The Canary Islands Dragon Trees & Blue Chaffinches A Greentours Tour Report 7th – 16th February 2014 Leader Başak Gardner Day 1 07.02.2014 To El Patio via Guia de Isora I met the half of the group at the airport just before midday and headed towards El Guincho where our lovely hotel located. We took the semi coastal road up seeing the xerophytic scrub gradually changing to thermophile woodland and then turned towards El Teide mountain into evergreen tree zone where the main tree was Pinus canariensis. Finally found a suitable place to stop and then walked into forest to see our rare orchid, Himantoglossum metlesicsiana. There it was standing on its own in perfect condition. We took as many pics as possible and had our picnic there as well. We returned to the main road and not long after we stopped by the road side spotting several flowering Aeonium holochrysum. It was a very good stop to have a feeling of typical Canary Islands flora. We encountered plants like Euphorbia broussonetii and canariensis, Kleinia neriifolia, Argyranthemum gracile, Aeonium urbicum, Lavandula canariensis, Sonchus canariensis, Rumex lunaria and Rubia fruticosa. Driving through the windy roads we finally came to Icod De Los Vinos to see the oldest Dragon Tree. They made a little garden of native plants with some labels on and the huge old Dragon Tree in the middle. After spending some time looking at the plants that we will see in natural habitats in the following days we drove to our hotel only five minutes away. The hotel has an impressive drive that you can see the huge area of banana plantations around it.

This is probably the most well known location on Tenerife as it is where most people see their first Blue Chaffinches and we were not to be disappointed. Also at this location we saw the only Great Spotted Woodpecker of the tour plus a few Canaries, a Tenerife Kinglet and a few African Blue Tits. After departing from Las Lajas we continued climbing and entered the Las Cañadas National Park which is a spectacular drive through volcanic scenery. On the drive we encountered quite a few endemic plants including Pinus canariensis and Spartocytisus supranubius that were common and easily recognized and Echium wildpretii, Pterocephalus lasiospermus, Descurainia bourgaeana and Argyranthemum teneriffae which were rather unimpressive as they were not yet flowering but we were compensated by the fabulous views across the ancient caldera.

    BOTÁNICA MACARONESICA 1 (1976) SrrUDIES IN THE FLORA OF MACARONESIA: SOME CHROMOSOME NUMBERS OF FLOWERING PLANTS By D. BRAMWELL, J. PÉREZ DE PAZ & J. ORTEGA Jardín Botánico Canario «Viera y Clavija» del Excmo. Cabildo Insular de Gran Canaria. Se han determinado el número de cromosomas en 18 especies de fanerógamas de la Maca- ronesia, de los cuales 12 eran desconocidos. El número de cromosomas del género endémico Musschia (Campanulaceae) de Madeira, es comunicado por primera vez, y también se incluyen los primeros cálculos para las plantas de las Islas Salvajes. Se ha notado por vez primera poliploidia intra - específica en Adenocarpus foliolosus. (Leguminosae). CONTENTS Introduction 9 Materials & Methods 10 Observations & Discussion 10 Summary 16 References 16 INTRODUCTION Though there have recently been enormous advances in our knowledge of the karyology of the Macaronesian flora, especially the endemic flora of the Canary Islands (Larsen 1960, 1962, 1963; Borgen 1969, 1970, 1974, 1975; Bramwell et al. 1971, 1972, etc.), there still remain considerable numbers of species whose chromo- some numbers have yet to be determined. The results obtained so far also show that there is a very important need for chromosomal information at the local population level especially in view of the variation in numbers found for individual species by Borgen (1969, 1974), Bramwell et al. (1972) and particularly Gagnieu, Linder & Voggenreiter (1973), indicating the possible occurrence of aneuploidy and dysploidy in some groups. Our understanding of the special evolutionary situations encountered in island floras where vicariance, adaptive radiation and active epibionty have all played a major role in the evolution of local endemic species (BramweU, 1972, 1975; Humphries D.

Executive summary This is the final report on work carried out for the biological control of French broom in California by Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation at its European Laboratory in France in collaboration with the USDA European Biological Control Laboratory. Survey trips have been completed to Tunisia, southern Spain and western Portugal. Available resources limited a full suite of planned trips. Morocco and eastern Mediterranean Turkey are the only countries that still need to be surveyed. A recent study of the taxonomy of Genista suggests Morocco is the key region for undiscovered potential biocontrol agents. Analysis of the results of previous trips is presented including validation of the sampling regime and the impacts of seed feeding insects on the seed production of French broom and close relatives. Insect biology and culture development studies have been completed for the psyllid Arytinnis hakani. This species was found to have 5 nymphal instars and be multi-voltine with a 40-45 day generation time, passing the hot summer months as early instar nymphs. Lepidapion argentatum specificity and taxonomic status is unclear from current literature but a PhD project based around this group has recently obtained funding.

Their isolation has given rise to many endemic species and subspecies, of which the great views of Tenerife Blue Chaffinch in perfect light were a highlight for many. We marvelled over the flora, so different to that of mainland Europe, and enjoyed the various species of lizards, plus the butterflies and other invertebrates we encountered. The day on La Gomera was a delight, not least for the numbers of Cory’s Shearwaters, whales and dolphins, plus the White-faced Storm Petrels we encountered. Lovely weather with plenty of sunshine, comfortable accommodation, good food and great company all made for an excellent week. Day 1 Saturday 23rd February Fly to Tenerife South – La Chafiras – Road to Vilaflor Fifteen tour group members met with Andrew and Jessica at Gatwick’s North Terminal for the 6.50am Easyjet flight to Tenerife South Airport. After a bit of a delay due to fog at Gatwick, we landed on the island at around 12.15pm, meeting up with our last group member, who had arrived on the island the previous day.

After lunch at a small cafe called Casa Pedro in Las Chafiras, we went to a small reservoir where we saw our first Little Egret (one ringed with a yellow Darvic ring) and Spanish Sparrow. The landscape here is a semi-desert plain, typical of the south coast, with plants like Canary Islands Candle Plant or Verode (Kleinia neriifolia), Canary Island Cactus- spurge (Euphorbia canariensis), Balsam Spurge (Euphorbia balsamifera), Canary Samphire or Schizogyne (Schizogyne sericea), Barbed-wire Bush (Launaea arborescens) and Balo or Plocama (Plocama pendula). From here we drove to Amarilla Golf Course and Golf de Sur which were teeming with golfers and one Little Egret. We moved on to the dam to the north of Los Abrigos, but there was no water at all and the only bird seen was a Kestrel. As it had been a very early start for the group, we headed up the mountain to our hotel at Vilaflor, stopping only for cold water from the garage at San Isidro.

    Article Fl. Medit. 30: 121-136 https://doi.org/10.7320/FlMedit30.121 Version of Record published online on 4 August 2020 F. Verloove, E. A. Déniz Suárez & M. Salas Pascual New records of non-native vascular plants in Gran Canaria (Spain, Canary Islands) Abstract Verloove, F., Déniz Suárez, E. A. & Salas Pascual, M: New records of non-native vascular plants in Gran Canaria (Spain, Canary Islands). — Fl. Medit. 30: 121-136. 2020. — ISSN: 1120-4052 printed, 2240-4538 online. Recent field work by the authors on the island of Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain) yielded new interesting records of non-native species. Seven species, i.e. Centaurea sulphurea, Clematis flammu- la, Fallopia baldschuanica, Fraxinus angustifolia, Melilotus officinalis, Saponaria officinalis, and Searsia lancea have not been recorded before from the Canary Islands, whereas 13 species (Bellis perennis, Centaurea diluta, Chlorophytum comosum, Chondrilla juncea, Cyperus papyrus, Delphinium ajacis, Helianthus annuus, Lonicera japonica, Lupinus pilosus, Montanoa bipinnatifi- da, Ornithogalum arabicum, Trifolium cernuum, and Wigandia caracasana) are reported for the first time from Gran Canaria. The actual presence of five further species (Chenopodium vulvaria, Fallopia convolvulus, Kalanchoe daigremontiana, Paspalum dilatatum, and Volutaria tubuliflora) – all considered doubtful, recently discovered or with only historical occurrences in Gran Canaria – is confirmed. Chorological and ecological details are presented for these species and their invasion sta- tus is assessed. Many of them are reputed weeds, either agriculturally or environmentally. Key words: xenophytes, alien flora, floristic inventories. Introduction This paper is a sequel to Verloove (2013 and 2017) and Verloove & al. (2018). We pres- ent new records for species that are either new to the Canary Islands (and even Macaronesia as a whole) or new to the island of Gran Canaria.
