The genus Inga in the Chocó region
No full text"""The Genus Inga in the Chocó Region"" explores one of the wettest, most biodiverse, and least documented areas on earth, focusing on the genus Inga (Leguminosae: Caesalpinioideae), a recently radiated plant group of the Neotropics. Despite numerous taxonomic, phylogenetic, and ecological studies on Inga in the Amazon and Central America, significant gaps remain in our understanding of this genus in the Chocó region. Studying Inga is crucial because delineating species boundaries allows society to recognize and manage this group of organisms effectively. This foundation is essential for environmental policies, ecotourism, land use management, natural resource conservation, and utilizing Inga species as food sources and in agroforestry systems.
The book presents a new ecological delimitation of the Chocó region based on the Holdridge life zone approach, integrating definitions from previous studies and an altitude threshold. This geographic delimitation aims to enhance the understanding of the region. It also includes a comprehensive taxonomic and ecological review of Inga in the Chocó. The ultimate goal of this book is to improve the understanding of both the Chocó region and the genus Inga. It seeks to support the taxonomic identification of Inga species and advocates for intensified ecological and genetic studies to enhance conservation and management efforts in the Chocó.""This book explores the Chocó region, known for its biodiversity and as one of the wettest and least explored areas in the Neotropics. The primary focus is on the genus Inga (Leguminosae: Caesalpinioideae). It presents a new ecological delimitation of the Chocó, enhancing the understanding of its ecosystems. It documents 70 species of Inga, including five potential new species and eleven endemics. Additionally, a taxonomic guide is provided to facilitate the identification of these species. In ecological terms, plant communities in the Chocó contain many species of Inga, all distributed in the middle and emergent forest strata.

Fire in the pines: a landscape perspective of human-induced ecological change in the pinelands of New Jersey
No full textEffects of urban land-uses have long term implications for the structure and function of natural ecosystems that may extend far beyond the land-use itself. Specifically, natural disturbance and succession in forest ecosystems have been highly altered by human-caused land-use and fire frequency changes. Changes to forest community structure and composition can affect the long-term sustainability of areas such as the New Jersey Pinelands, a fire-dependent ecosystem. By combining historic maps of fire frequency and land-use change, I assessed the effects of human development patterns on fire and forest composition in the Pinelands. These assessments showed lower fire frequency and higher transitions from pine to oak forest cover in close geographic proximity to altered land. Additionally, I investigated our ability to detect the effects of fire on water quality measures using data from gauged watersheds. No significant effects of fire could be determined due to a lack of water quality data associated with wildfires in space and time. I used a spatially-explicit forest disturbance and succession model to investigate how increasing levels of altered land and changing fire regimes may affect forest composition in the future. Additionally, I added climate change to disturbance and succession modeling to incorporate this additional forcing on fire and forest composition. These scenarios showed an overwhelming trend toward oak dominated forest within 100 years, except in the unique pine plains area, where pine species still dominated. The potential of this type of dramatic shift from pine to oak cover represents a radical departure from current forest composition and needs to be addressed by managers of the Pinelands National Reserve in order to maintain the essential Pinelands landscape. Modeling the potential influences of current and future altered land as well as changes in fire regimes in our study area elucidates the degree to which fire and climate disturbances may alter forest composition.Ph.

Inga laurina Willd.
No full textMimosa fagifolia Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 516. 1753. "Habitat in Barbados." RCN: 7651. Lectotype (Bässler in Gleditschia 20: 4. 1992): [icon] "Arbor siliquifera Faginis fol. Americ. fl. comosis" in Plukenet, Phytographia: t. 141, f. 2. 1692; Almag. Bot.: 44. 1696. - Voucher: Herb. Sloane 95: 96 (BM-SL). Current name: Inga laurina (Sw.) Willd. (Fabaceae: Mimosoideae). Note: Inga fagifolia (L.) Willd. ex Benth., based on M. fagifolia L., had been widely used for a Latin American taxon not including its type. Howard (Fl. Lesser Antilles 4: 360. 1988) wrongly treated Plukenet material (BM), unseen by Linnaeus, as the type but identified the Plukenet element as I. laurina (Sw.) Willd. Bässler (1992) formally typified the name using the Plukenet plate. The existence of I. fagifolia G. Don (1832), see Pennington (Genus Inga: 371. 1997), prevents the transfer of M. fagifolia to Inga, meaning that I. laurina (Sw.) Willd. is the correct name.Published as part of Jarvis, Charlie, 2007, Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part M), pp. 651-689 in Order out of Chaos.

Caracterización de políades en especies venezolanas del género Inga Mill. (Fabaceae-Mimosoideae)
No full textRESUMENSe estudió la morfología del polen en las 52 especies venezolanas reportadas para el género Inga a partir de exsiccata depositadas en el Herbario Nacional de Venezuela (VEN), como parte de las investigaciones relativas a la morfología de estructuras reproductivas en la tribu Ingeae desarrolladas por la autora. El análisis evidenció dos tipos básicos de políades: 1) políades plano-circulares con 16 granos de polen, y 2) políades plano-elípticas con 20-40 granos de polen. En la muestra total se encontraron políades grandes, medianas y pequeñas sin correlación con el número de granos de polen. Los resultados se ajustan a lo reportado por otros autores para el género y constituyen el primer reporte de la morfología y la morfometría del polen para las especies del género Inga en Venezuela.ABSTRACTPollen morphology of the 52 reported Venezuelan species of the genus Inga Mill. was studied using exsiccata from Herbario Nacional de Venezuela (VEN), as part of author’s current research on tribe Ingeae reproductive structures. Two polyad types were found: 1) planar-circular polyads with 16 pollen grains, and 2) planar-elliptical polyads with 20-40 pollen grains. Big, medium and small polyads were found at the whole sample, with no relationship between polyad size and pollen grain number. Results agree with previous data on genus Inga pollen types and are the first report about general morphology and morphometric for Venezuelan Inga species
Inga pitmanii (Fabaceae), a New Species from Madre de Dios, Peru
No full textInga pitmanii K. G. Dexter & T. D. Penn., a new species of Inga Mill. from Madre de Dios, Peru, is described for the Fabaceae (Mimosoideae). Morphologically it is closest to I. chartacea Poepp. & Endl., with which it shares a broadly winged rhachis, spicate inflorescence, glabrous leaves, nine to 10 pairs of secondary veins, and similar calyx indumentum. Inga pitmanii differs from I. chartacea in the leaflet number (four pairs vs. usually two or three pairs), the foliar nectaries (cyathiform vs. patelliform), and the larger flowers (with corollas 9–11.5 mm vs. 4.5–7 mm). Phylogenetic analyses show this species belongs to a clade including I. acreana Harms and I. chartacea. This species was discovered during field surveys for an ecological study of the genus Inga at the Los Amigos Biological Station in Madre de Dios, Peru. These field surveys uncovered several potentially novel species of the genus Inga, none of which matched any known species based on vegetative characters and the majority of which are genetically distinct. Here we describe I. pitmanii as this is the only species that was collected in a fertile state. Given current and future limitations in taxonomic expertise and funding, we advocate consideration of nonconventional approaches to species discovery, such as combining biodiversity surveys with large-scale DNA sequencing. This would in turn allow ecologists, who often collect plants in poorly known regions, to make a greater contribution to the species-discovery process
