New species of Ipomoea (Convolvulaceae) from South America
The importance of discovering, describing and cataloguing poorly known species in herbarium collections is discussed. It is a spur to efforts at rediscovery and consequent conservation efforts. The problems faced in describing species from limited material are discussed and our methods and criteria in making a decision are described. Prospects for future novelties are briefly assessed. Fifteen ...
متن کاملA new Pseudachorutes (Collembola, Neanuridae, Pseudachorutinae) from Nicaragua
A new species of Pseudachorutes is described and illustrated from Nicaragua. Pseudachorutes nicasp. n. is very easy to distinguish from other members of this genus from Central America, because its chaetotaxy consists of macro and microsetae and a postantennal organ with multiple vesicles (close to 20).
متن کاملA New Species of Jatropha (euphorbiaceae) from Nicaragua'
When Jatropha costaricensis Webster & Poveda was described from Guanacaste, Costa Rica, some years ago (Webster & Poveda, 1978), it was predicted that other xeric relict taxa might be discovered elsewhere in Central America. Recent botanical exploration in Nicaragua has disclosed not only a number of new populations of Jatropha podagrica Hook. in rocky areas in Dept. Esteli, but also on basalti...
متن کاملExtracting Environmental Benefits from a New Canal in Nicaragua: Lessons from Panama
Biologists have raised objections to a new canal in Nicaragua, but in this Essay I argue that dire predictions of environmental catastrophe are exaggerated. I present an alternative view based on my research experience in Panama, where Canal operations foster forest conservation. Currently in Nicaragua, the rate of forest loss is so rapid that the canal cannot make it worse. Rather, I contend, ...
متن کاملClassification of Convolvulaceae: A Phylogenetic Approach
Because recent molecular studies, based on multiple data sets from all three plant genomes, have indicated mutually congruent, well-resolved, and well-supported relationships within Convolvulaceae (the morning-glory family), a formal reclassification of this family is presented here. Convolvulaceae, a large family of worldwide distribution, exhibiting a rich diversity of morphological character...
