Checklist Of Sand Dune Vegetation On The Tropical Southeastern Brazil Coast

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)Restingas are mosaics of plant communities living on marine sand deposits of the late Quaternary period, located between the sea and the Atlantic Forest. This study presents the diversity of the vegetation of coastal sand dunes in the southeastern coast of Brazil. A floristic survey and bibliographic review of the nine restinga regions of Rio de Janeiro state was carried out, and information is presented about the habit, life form, dispersion syndrome, distribution, and biome occurrence of each species. Ninety-eight species were recorded, distributed among 81 genera and 38 families, of which the most diverse are Asteraceae (12 species), Poaceae (12 species), Fabaceae (11 species), and Rubiaceae (6 species). The majority of species have herbaceous habits and predominantly are camephyte-autochoric species. They present wide geographical distributions or are restricted to just some Brazilian states and are more similar to the Atlantic Forest biome. © 2017 Check List and Authors.132111CAPES, Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorUERJ, Universidade do Estado do Rio de JaneiroCoordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES

New Distribution Record And Implications For Conservation Of The Endangered Wunderlichia Azulensis Maguire & G.m. Barroso (asteraceae: Wunderlichieae)

The endemic Brazilian genus Wunderlichia is one of the smallest in Asteraceae. Among its species is found the rare Wunderlichia azulensis, only known to grow in rocky outcrops in Bahia, Minas Gerais, and Espirito Santo states. This work shows the first record of W. azulensis in Rio de Janeiro state and categorizes its conservation status based on the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria. It is also presented a distribution map showing its relationship to places with low annual rainfall, and its occurrence in three Brazilian biomes.103706708Aguiar, W.M., Gaglianone, M.C., Euglossine bees (Hymenoptera Apidae Euglossina) on an inselberg in the Atlantic Forest domain of southeastern Brazil (2011) Tropical Zoology, 24 (2), pp. 107-125. , http://www.fupress.net/index.php/tropicalzoology/article/view/10455Bachman, S., Moat, J., Hill, A., de la Torre, J., Scott, B., Supporting Red List threat assessments with GeoCAT: Geospatial Conservation Assessment Tool (2011) Zookeys, 150, pp. 117-126Barroso, G.M., Maguire, B., A review of the genus Wunderlichia (Mutisiae, Compositae) (1973) Revista Brasileira de Biologia, 33, pp. 379-406(2008) Lista das Espécies Ameaçadas de Extinção da Flora do Estado de Minas Gerais, 48p. , Deliberação Conselho Estadual de Política Ambiental nº 367, de 15 de dezembro de 2008.
