The genus Teijsmanniodendron Koord. (Lamiaceae)
A revision of the genus Teijsmanniodendron Koord.(Lamiaceae) is presented with a summary of its
taxonomic history, keys, full descriptions, distribution maps, conservation assessments, ecological information and
ethno-botanical notes. In this treatment, 23 species are recognised, one new combination is made: Teijsmanniodendron
havilandii (Ridl.) G. Rusea, 14 names are placed into synonymy for the first time, one species is neotypified,
five are lectotypified and six new species are described: T. bullatum G. Rusea, T. latiffii G. Rusea, T. obscurinerve G.Rusea, T. punctatum G. Rusea, T. renageorgeae G. Rusea and T. zainudinii G. Rusea. One species name is validated, T.scaberrimum Kosterm. ex G. Rusea and one species is excluded from the genus: T. petelotii Moldenke
The Wild Vanilla of Selangor
An inventory of the genus Vanilla Plumier ex Mill. in Selangor is updated with the documentation of two additional taxa - a newly described species, Vanilla norashikiniana and the long-lost species, V. montana. To date, the state’s species composition is represented by three taxa including the widespread Vanilla species, V. griffithii. The main aim of this study is to provide important notes on all species recorded in Selangor. The current checklist of genus Vanilla from Selangor was compared to other states within Peninsular Malaysia and the general distribution pattern of each species is proposed
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
GO Barometer: meer wantrouwen en onvoldoende capaciteit binnen het vakgebied
De tweede editie van de GO Barometer is uit! De Stichting Kennis Gebiedsontwikkeling (SKG) brengt ook dit jaar de stand van zaken binnen het vakgebied van gebiedsontwikkeling in kaart. Gebiedsontwikkeling is een zaak van lange adem, dus er zijn veel overeenkomsten met 2022 – maar toch ook enkele opvallende verschillen. Vooral het stijgende onderlinge wantrouwen tussen partijen is opvallend. Daarnaast zet onvoldoende personele capaciteit de uitvoering van uitdagende ruimtelijke projecten verder onder druk.Urban Development ManagementPractice Chair Urban Area Developmen
Vanilla norashikiniana R. Go et A. Raffi sp. nov., a new orchid species from Peninsular Malaysia
A new species, Vanilla norashikiniana R. Go et A. Raffi, from Peninsular Malaysia is described and other aspects of interest discussed. It is so far known from a population in lower dipterocarp forests in Hutan Lipur Chemerong, Hulu Dungun, Terengganu and Hutan Simpan Semangkok, Selangor. A field key to the Peninsular Malaysian taxa (including Vanilla shenzhenica) is also provided
Orchidea Selangoreana - wild orchids of Selangor
Publication based on real research findings and written in semi-scientific easy to read 210 pages containing 240 wild orchid species found in Selangor major forest reserves
The comparison between nuclear ribosomal DNA and chloroplast DNA in molecular systematic study of four sections of genus Dendrobium sw. (Orchidaceae)
Phylogenetic study of the four sections (Aporum, Crumenata, Strongyle, and Bolbidium) of genus Dendrobium (family Orchidaceae) was conducted using molecular data. Classifications based on morphological characters have not being able to clearly divide these four sections neither do they supported their monophyly origin. Therefore, deeper and detailed analysis especially using molecular data is required to ascertain their status. Molecular evidences were used to clarify their relations either to lump them into one section or reduce them into two. The study has been carried out for the 34 species of Dendrobium using Maximum Parsimony (MP). Three nucleotide sequences data sets from two distinct genomes chloroplast DNA genes (rbcL and matK) and nuclear ribosomal DNA (ITS) were used to construct cladograms. The results that obtained from the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) gene showed that the nuclear genes are reliable marker for the phylogenetic study of Dendrobium compared to chloroplast DNA with low resolution level among sections
