This document describes research on the isolation and characterization of compounds from the seeds of Annona squamosa. The objectives were to extract compounds from the seeds, perform phytochemical screening of the extracts, and isolate and evaluate the chemical structure of any cardiac glycosides present. The methodology included extraction of the seeds using solvents, phytochemical analysis, thin layer chromatography, column chromatography, and various spectroscopic techniques. Analysis indicated the presence of cardiac glycosides and characterization suggested the isolated compound was a bufadienolide with a probable structure similar to other known cardiac glycosides.

Anomalous secondary growth is a growth form in plants that does not follow typical vascular cambium patterns, instead producing xylem and phloem in irregular arrangements. This atypical growth can have taxonomic and physiological significance, allowing for adaptations like climbing vines and storage organs. Examples like Bougainvillea, Bignonia, and Aristolochia demonstrate anomalous growth through irregular vascular bundles and flexible stems produced by unequal cambium activity.

Biological control of cassava green mites in AfricaJawwad Mirza
Typhlodromalus aripo, a predatory mite introduced from Brazil, has been established across Africa to biologically control the cassava green mite Mononychellus tanajoa, a serious pest of cassava. Studies in Benin show that T. aripo inhabits the apices of cassava plants during the day, providing it shelter, and forages on leaves at night where it preys on M. tanajoa. Since the introduction of T. aripo, densities of M. tanajoa have dropped significantly. Population dynamics of both species generally follow rainfall patterns, with two peaks per year. Long-term studies indicate T. aripo has persisted for years in
Variation Of Phytolith Morphotypes Of Some Members Of Cucurbitaceae Juss.iosrjce
This document reports on a study that examined phytolith morphotypes in eleven members of the plant family Cucurbitaceae. Forty different phytolith morphotypes were identified among the species studied. Species with the highest and lowest number of morphotypes identified were Lagenaria siceraria with 18 morphotypes and Telfairia occidentalis with 5 morphotypes. Some morphotypes were unique to certain species. A dendrogram was produced based on a numerical analysis of the phytolith data, which suggested four inferences about relationships among the taxa. The study concludes by recommending changes to the classification of some species within the family.
Study of the genetic diversity of the genus Passiflora L. and its distributio...John Ocampo
This study aimed to characterize the genetic diversity of the Passiflora genus in Colombia using molecular markers. The study:
1) Analyzed 213 Passiflora individuals representing 151 species and 15 subgenera using chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA markers. This identified 280 chloroplast and 372 mitochondrial haplotypes.
2) Chloroplast DNA provided better resolution of relationships than mitochondrial DNA, separating the Decaloba subgenus and revealing geographic structuring of some groups.
3) Results only partially agreed with morphology-based taxonomy, suggesting divergence between genomes and mixed modes of organelle transmission in the genus. The study helped elucidate the evolution and systematics of Passiflora but also highlighted remaining questions

This study examined how the leaf-cutting ant Atta cephalotes responds behaviorally to the sound of phorid flies, which are parasitoid insects that prey on A. cephalotes. The researcher observed 4 variables in 17 A. cephalotes nests when exposed to 3 stimuli: no sound, the sound of cicadas, and the sound of phorid flies. The variables observed were the number of minor workers entering and exiting nests, the number of minor workers on foraging material, and the speed of foraging material entering nests. While some differences were observed across stimuli for the variables, the only statistically significant difference was in the number of minor workers exiting nests, which increased when

The document discusses an interdisciplinary collaboration between linguistics and biology to map scientific taxon names to common names in multiple languages. It describes projects including the WBÖ and DBÖ dialect dictionaries, Europeana, and OpenUp!, which aims to provide biological and linguistic metadata. The collaboration would benefit both partners by integrating linguistic expertise on names into the OpenUp! project and biological expertise on taxa into the dictionaries. Web services would be developed to link the two domains and allow bidirectional exchange of data to handle unstable scientific classifications. The goal is to lay foundations for distributed expertise, standards, and open access to linguistic and biological data on taxa names.
This document discusses several topics relating to herbarium management, including the history and size of collections, the purpose and value of collections, collaborative and integrated approaches, issues with taxonomy and systems, online resources, and open questions.

still to do
• describe new species
• complete a matrix for principal component analyses
• herbarium work in INPA / CEPEC
• wrap up the bits and pieces (= sabbatical)
desiderata (collaboration !)
• karyology / hybridization
• complement phylogeny
• flower development studies – MADSbox
• field work in Cuba / Hispaniola / Jamaica & Brasil
must
• (better) time (management)
