Primula vallicola sp. nov. (Primulaceae) from Sichuan,China

A new species of Primula, P. vallicola Y. Xu, G. Hao & C.M. Hu, is described and illustrated from Sichuan province, China. Based on general morphology the new species is assigned to Primula sect. Aleuritia subsect. Yunnanensis. It is closely allied to P. kialensis, but can be distinguished by its larger stature, leaf shape, and the well‐differentiated petiole. The leaf shape of the new species is ovate to ovate‐elliptic and usually sub‐rounded at base. The new species also resembles P. homogama, but differs in being glabrous rather than with appressed hairs, and with longer petiole.     

Comparative study of pollination biology of two closely related alpine Primula species,namely Primula beesiana and P. bulleyana (Primulaceae)

Abstract The comparative pollination biology of a population of Primula beesiana, a population of P. bulleyana, and an overlapping population of these two species in Yulong Shan, Yunnan Province, China, was studied in 2004 and 2005. The results indicate that both P. beesiana and P. bulleyana are typical heterostylous and obligate outcrossing species; the main pollinators of the two species were bees and butterflies. At the sites of all three populations, the main pollinating visitors of the two species showed preference for one of the two species, resulting in the ethological isolation of the two species by the pollinators. This ethological isolation contributes to the reproductive isolation of the two species, which supports the hypothesis that P. beesiana and P. bulleyana are two distinct species. The reproductive isolation of the two species (ethological isolation) is probably an important mechanism in maintaining species boundaries in the genus and has contributed to the species diversification of Primula in the area. In addition, gene exchanges between P. beesiana and P. bulleyana has occurred to some extent in the overlapping population, but whether natural hybridization has contributed to species diversification in Primula remains to be determined.     

安徽特有植物安徽羽叶报春的繁殖生物学研究

本文分别从物候、繁育结构和传粉等方面研究了国家三级保护植物、安徽特有种--安徽羽叶报春(Primula merrilliana)的繁殖生物学特征。研究结果表明: (1) 安徽羽叶报春是典型的形态和功能意义上的花柱二型的二年生植物, 其始苗期为9月, 一直持续到第二年6月底或7月初死亡, 各居群长柱花植株比短柱花植株开花略早3–5 d; (2) 安徽羽叶报春的散孔型花粉显示其在报春花属中有重要的系统意义和进化意义。同时, 短柱花花粉量比长柱花少, 但其花粉直径是后者的1.78倍左右; (3) 长花柱的雌蕊长度是短花柱的1.64倍, 而且其柱头上的乳头状突起比短花柱上的长而稀; (4) 3个研究居群的P/O比都不相同, 我们发现花粉量比胚珠数量有更大的变异, 这可能与生境有关; (5) 安徽羽叶报春为异花授粉植物, 蓟马属(Thrips)昆虫为其重要的传粉者, 其同型花授粉可育性远比异型花授粉的高; (6) 其长、短柱型种子没有明显的形态差异, 多属不等边七面体, 少为其他多面体。据研究, 在小居群中两种花柱类型植株的比例失衡, 生境的破坏和伴生种的消失可能是导致安徽羽叶报春濒危的重要原因。

Unravelling Diaporthe species associated with Camellia

The genus Diaporthe (syn. Phomopsis) comprises important pathogens, endophytes or saprobes with diverse host associations and worldwide distribution. Phomopsis theae is the first and hitherto the only recorded Diaporthe species on Camellia in China. The aim of this study was to investigate the Diaporthe species associated with symptomatic and asymptomatic tissues of Camellia spp. from several provinces in China. Eighty-three strains were isolated in the present study. Based on the multi-locus (ITS, HIS, TEF1, TUB) phylogenetic analyses and phenotypic characters, four novel species (D. apiculata Y.H. Gao & L. Cai, D. compacta Y.H. Gao & L. Cai, D. oraccinii Y.H. Gao & L. Cai, D. penetriteum Y.H. Gao & L. Cai), and three known species (D. discoidispora, D. hongkongensis, D. ueckerae) were identified. Five strains were assigned to D. amygdali species complex and 17 strains to D. eres species complex respectively, but they could not be further identified to species level using current multi-locus phylogenetic analysis and morphological characters. Of the identified species, D. compacta and D. discoidispora are only known as endophytes. Diaporthe hongkongensis is the dominant species on Camellia, accounting for 53.3% of the frequency of occurrence. Diaporthe lithocarpus is synonymized with D. hongkongensis; D. miriciae is synonymized with D. ueckerae. Our study revealed a high diversity of undescribed Diaporthe species on Camellia.     

Both morph‐ and species‐dependent asymmetries affect reproductive barriers between heterostylous species

The interaction between floral traits and reproductive isolation is crucial to explaining the extraordinary diversity of angiosperms. Heterostyly, a complex floral polymorphism that optimizes outcrossing, evolved repeatedly and has been shown to accelerate diversification in primroses, yet its potential influence on isolating mechanisms remains unexplored. Furthermore, the relative contribution of pre‐ versus postmating barriers to reproductive isolation is still debated. No experimental study has yet evaluated the possible effects of heterostyly on pre‐ and postmating reproductive mechanisms. We quantify multiple reproductive barriers between the heterostylous Primula elatior (oxlip) and P. vulgaris (primrose), which readily hybridize when co‐occurring, and test whether traits of heterostyly contribute to reproductive barriers in unique ways. We find that premating isolation is key for both species, while postmating isolation is considerable only for P. vulgaris; ecogeographic isolation is crucial for both species, while phenological, seed developmental, and hybrid sterility barriers are also important in P. vulgaris, implicating sympatrically higher gene flow into P. elatior. We document for the first time that, in addition to the aforementioned species‐dependent asymmetries, morph‐dependent asymmetries affect reproductive barriers between heterostylous species. Indeed, the interspecific decrease of reciprocity between high sexual organs of complementary floral morphs limits interspecific pollen transfer from anthers of short‐styled flowers to stigmas of long‐styled flowers, while higher reciprocity between low sexual organs favors introgression over isolation from anthers of long‐styled flowers to stigmas of short‐styled flowers. Finally, intramorph incompatibility persists across species boundaries, but is weakened in long‐styled flowers of P. elatior, opening a possible backdoor to gene flow through intramorph pollen transfer between species. Therefore, patterns of gene flow across species boundaries are likely affected by floral morph composition of adjacent populations. To summarize, our study highlights the general importance of premating isolation and newly illustrates that both morph‐ and species‐dependent asymmetries shape boundaries between heterostylous species.     

Delturinae, a new loricariid catfish subfamily (Teleostei, Siluriformes), with revisions of Delturus and Hemipsilichthys

A new subfamily, Delturinae, is described to accommodate the loricariid catfish genera Delturus Egenmann & Eigenmann, 1889 and Hemipsilichthys Eigenmann & Eigenmann, 1889, a clade recently demonstrated to be the sister group of all remaining loricariids except Lithogenes . The genus Hemipsilichthys is restricted to three species, H. gobio (Lütken, 1874), its sister species H. papillatus Pereira et al ., 2000, and H. nimius Pereira et al ., 2003. Relationships among species of Delturus were not resolved and a new species, D. brevis , is described from the Rio Jequitinhonha basin in eastern Brazil. The geographical distribution of Delturinae, exclusively on the south-eastern Brazilian Shield, indicates that south-eastern Brazil acts as either a refugium for basal loricariid taxa or a point of origin for the Loricariidae. Lectotypes are designated for D. parahybae Eigenmann & Eigenmann, 1889 and Plecostomus angulicauda Steindachner, 1877. Keys are presented for subfamilies of Loricariidae and for genera and species of Delturinae. Diagnoses are provided for all delturine clades and species.  © 2006 The Linnean Society of London, Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society , 2006, 147 , 277–299.     

Primula subansirica G.D. Pal is not a Primula (Primulaceae), but rather belongs to Gesneriaceae

Examination of type specimens has shown that Primula subansirica G.D. Pal is a Gesneriad and conspecific with Beccarinda cordifolia (Anthony) B.L. Burtt (Gesneriaceae), thus a reduction is made and a new synonymy is proposed.     

Functional anatomy of five endangered tropical timber wood species of the family Dipterocarpaceae

Wood anatomy of five dipterocarp species endemic to the Philippines was studied with the goal to explore functional wood traits of ecological significance. Stem wood of 6-year-old trees grown under similar environmental conditions in a plantation (Leyte, Philippines) was used. Wood densities decreased in the following order Hopea plagata > Dipterocarpus kerrii > Parashorea malaanoman > Shorea almon ≈ Shorea contorta. This was mainly caused by significantly thicker fiber cell walls of H. plagata and D. kerrii than those of the other three species. Wood density was negatively correlated with the abundance of axial parenchyma cells. Predicted conductance was independent from wood density and lowest in H. plataga and highest in D. kerrii and S. contorta. These results indicate that H. plagata and D. kerrii is woods have higher constructions costs in term of carbon per unit of biomass, and that H. plagata is probably better acclimated to varying soil moisture than the other species.
