Diversity and levels of endemism of the Bromeliaceae of Costa Rica – an updated checklist
An updated inventory of the Bromeliaceae for Costa Rica is presented including citations of representative specimens for each species. The family comprises 18 genera and 198 species in Costa Rica, 32 species being endemic to the country. Additional 36 species are endemic to Costa Rica and Panama. Only 4 of the 8 bromeliad subfamilies occur in Costa Rica, with a strong predominance of Tillandsio...
متن کاملIndirect Tax Incidence in Madagascar: Updated Estimates Using the Input-Output Table Harivelo Rajemison INSTAT
Introduction Recently, there has been renewed interest in the analysis of tax incidence in In part, this is motivated by the obvious need for tax reform in Africa, where revenues are small as a share of GDP (outside the economies with large mineral royalties) and the tax system is often highly distortionary, relying excessively on trade taxes and narrow commodity excises. Yet with every reform ...
متن کاملIntegrating Phylogenetic Diversity, Complementarity, and Endemism for Conservation Assessment
Posadas et al.’s (2001) analysis of conservation priority setting for southern South America highlights the fact that “conservation of biodiversity requires knowledge of its history.” In addressing this need, they argue that conservation of “evolutionary potential and phylogenetically rare taxa” requires integration of “phylogenetic” diversity with other factors, including complementarity and e...
متن کاملDiversity and distribution patterns of Solanaceae in Iran: Implications for conservation and habitat management with emphasis on endemism and diversity in SW Asia
The increasing rate of irreversible damages to natural habitats has reinforced the need for gathering biodiversity fundamental data to conservation. Priority setting is the most important step in protection programs. Solanaceae as the the one of important economic families of eudicots distributed throughout North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and the South Pacific. Up to n...
متن کاملGlobal patterns of freshwater species diversity, threat and endemism
AIM Global-scale studies are required to identify broad-scale patterns in the distributions of species, to evaluate the processes that determine diversity and to determine how similar or different these patterns and processes are among different groups of freshwater species. Broad-scale patterns of spatial variation in species distribution are central to many fundamental questions in macroecolo...
