LATMOSS and other sources of information


In 1995, with the support of the Missouri Botanical Garden, was published LATMOSS , the catalog of neotropical mosses. During the past fifteen years this database is continually updated based on available taxonomic publications. Publications floristic, though important, have been used with reservation as they want to have records sanctioned by specialists in most cases. Now LATMOSS is http://www.ibiologia.unam.mx/briologia/www/index/ for public use. LATMOSS
addition, the site includes bibliographic files, databases, MEXU protologue of mosses and a small gallery of photos that are not available elsewhere ( Aloinella and Grimmia ). Claudio Delgadillo M.

MOSS IN ANTARCTICA, A STORY OF SURVIVAL IN AN EXTREME ENVIRONMENT

TAKEN FROM: RADIO POLAR.COM

Although it is difficult to imagine, in the Antarctica is not all rock and glaciers. There is also a flora that has evolved and adapted to this extreme environment. Proof of this is the existence of terrestrial vegetation, especially of non-vascular plants (plants with no flowers) as lichens and mosses, which are present in areas not covered by ice for just 0.3% of the continent. These species are vital to the development of Antarctic life, especially the moss, widespread but little known about its distribution processes, and the role it plays in this pristine ecosystem.
Thus, questions arise spontaneously: Where do these mosses, how many years have lived in Antarctica, how have managed to stay for more than three thousand years in the continent? They are part of the expected answer questions that the project "Genetic variability Sanionia uncinata moss as a model for conservation", led by researcher and professor at the University of Magallanes (UMAG), the Agricultural Engineering and a PhD in Genetics, Ingrid Hebel.
The study is developed since 2009, aims to contribute to the knowledge of the variability, colonization and adaptation of populations of such mosses. Under the XLVII Antarctic Scientific Expedition, organized by the Chilean Antarctic Institute (INACH), the research team of Dr. Hebel managed to gather important background on the colonization of moss Sanionia uncinata, in the field of Hannah Point on Livingston Island, information which until now was only brief in the literature.

A study by the Instituto de Ciencias Naturales (ICN) of the Universidad Nacional in the Sierra de Las Quinchas, near the municipality of Puerto Boyacá, showed the richness of this group of plants in the lowlands.

William C. Santos and Jaime Aguirre C., ICN researchers, found 99 species of mosses , equivalent to 10.1% of the 976 recorded for Colombia, distributed in 58 genera and 29 families. Also, the same amount represents 29.1% of the 340 species found in Boyacá. Of the 99 species, 58 species are new records for the department.

This reflects high wealth in the area, bearing in mind that the area of study represents less than 10% of the total area of \u200b\u200bthe department and, as manifested by the authors, research Bryology (branch of botany that studies mosses and similar groups) in the country has historically focused in high mountain regions, where it has found the highest richness and diversity of species.

However, the findings in these areas increases knowledge of the lowland mosses, which are important for water conservation. "Mosses contribute to the recruitment, retention and gradual release of water available in ecosystems and regulate the storage of the liquid. Also, are important as habitat for a variety of species of wildlife, serve as a reservoir for seed banks and help reduce erosion, "said Santos.

added that the knowledge of the flora in this region is heading to the efforts of conservation and sustainable use of natural resources, as this area is considered high human intervention, ie, man-on exploration and exploitation mining, ranching, farming and logging. The Serrania de las Quinchas is located in the Magdalena Medio and is part of the departments of Boyacá (Puerto Boyacá and Otanche) and Ontario (Yacopi). Santos said that in the region where the study, although there is great richness and diversity , both flora and fauna are very few protected areas.

Among the 99 species of mosses, the researchers found eight with some degree of threat, of which four are categorized as vulnerable, endangered one and three critically endangered, according to the approximation made by scientists and Jaime Aguirre Orlando Jesus Rangel in 2007.

Omora Park, a perfect blend of beauty, science and tourism
In the last corner of the world where there are still virgin territories that attract attention of scientists for several years studying the diversity of small plants that prevail in the area now is done very tourism especially with magnifying glass in hand.

Over the next 4 years a computer inter-institutional and international research, including the universities of Magellan and North Texas, Institute of Ecology and Biodiversity, Chile, NYBG, Field Museum of Chicago and the California Academy of Sciences, conducted a series of scientific expeditions financed by The U.S. National Science Foundation -The equivalent of CONICYT-mission that aims to publish a book of the bryophyte flora of the Biosphere Reserve Cabo de Hornos.
subantarctic region has a special attraction for scientists to be a very little known and very pristine, ie, with little human intervention. Another fundamental factor that produces attraction scientists to work in this area is the integration of the science community, because the field data for researchers are available to the community in educational establishments and workshops open to the public, interested in know the wealth it has in place they live.
