Unearthing belowground bud banks in fire‐prone ecosystems
Despite long‐time awareness of the importance of the location of buds in plant biology, research on belowground bud banks has been scant. Terms such as lignotuber, xylopodium and sobole, all referring to belowground bud‐bearing structures, are used inconsistently in the literature. Because soil efficiently insulates meristems from the heat of fire, concealing buds below ground provides fitness benefits in fire‐prone ecosystems. Thus, in these ecosystems, there is a remarkable diversity of bud‐bearing structures. There are at least six locations where belowground buds are stored: roots, root crown, rhizomes, woody burls, fleshy swellings and belowground caudexes. These support many morphologically distinct organs. Given their history and function, these organs may be divided into three groups: those that originated in the early history of plants and that currently are widespread (bud‐bearing roots and root crowns); those that also originated early and have spread mainly among ferns and monocots (nonwoody rhizomes and a wide range of fleshy underground swellings); and those that originated later in history and are strictly tied to fire‐prone ecosystems (woody rhizomes, lignotubers and xylopodia). Recognizing the diversity of belowground bud banks is the starting point for understanding the many evolutionary pathways available for responding to severe recurrent disturbances. ; This work was performed under the framework of the FILAS project (CGL2015‐64086‐P) from the Spanish Government, the PROMETEO/2016/021 project from Generalitat Valenciana, the FONDECYT 1120458 project from the Chilean government and the project 2015/06743‐0 from Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP).

Identifying Priorities, Targets, and Actions for the Long-term Social and Ecological Management of Invasive Non-Native Species
In: Environmental management: an international journal for decision makers, scientists, and environmental auditors, Band 69, Heft 1, S. 140-153
ISSN: 1432-1009
AbstractFormulating effective management plans for addressing the impacts of invasive non-native species (INNS) requires the definition of clear priorities and tangible targets, and the recognition of the plurality of societal values assigned to these species. These tasks require a multi-disciplinary approach and the involvement of stakeholders. Here, we describe procedures to integrate multiple sources of information to formulate management priorities, targets, and high-level actions for the management of INNS. We follow five good-practice criteria: justified, evidence-informed, actionable, quantifiable, and flexible. We used expert knowledge methods to compile 17 lists of ecological, social, and economic impacts of lodgepole pines (Pinus contorta) and American mink (Neovison vison) in Chile and Argentina, the privet (Ligustrum lucidum) in Argentina, the yellow-jacket wasp (Vespula germanica) in Chile, and grasses (Urochloa brizantha and Urochloa decumbens) in Brazil. INNS plants caused a greater number of impacts than INNS animals, although more socio-economic impacts were listed for INNS animals than for plants. These impacts were ranked according to their magnitude and level of confidence on the information used for the ranking to prioritise impacts and assign them one of four high-level actions—do nothing, monitor, research, and immediate active management. We showed that it is possible to formulate management priorities, targets, and high-level actions for a variety of INNS and with variable levels of available information. This is vital in a world where the problems caused by INNS continue to increase, and there is a parallel growth in the implementation of management plans to deal with them.

BioTIME: A database of biodiversity time series for the Anthropocene
Motivation: The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and abundances in ecological assemblages through time. These data enable users to calculate temporal trends in biodiversity within and amongst assemblages using a broad range of metrics. BioTIME is being developed as a community-led open-source database of biodiversity time series. Our goal is to accelerate and facilitate quantitative analysis of temporal patterns of biodiversity in the Anthropocene. Main types of variables included: The database contains 8,777,413 species abundance records, from assemblages consistently sampled for a minimum of 2 years, which need not necessarily be consecutive. In addition, the database contains metadata relating to sampling methodology and contextual information about each record. Spatial location and grain: BioTIME is a global database of 547,161 unique sampling locations spanning the marine, freshwater and terrestrial realms. Grain size varies across datasets from 0.0000000158 km(2) (158 cm(2)) to 100 km(2) (1,000,000,000,000 cm(2)). Time period and grainBio: TIME records span from 1874 to 2016. The minimal temporal grain across all datasets in BioTIME is a year. Major taxa and level of measurement: BioTIME includes data from 44,440 species across the plant and animal kingdoms, ranging from plants, plankton and terrestrial invertebrates to small and large vertebrates. ; European Research Council; EU [AdG-250189, PoC-727440, ERC-SyG-2013-610028]; Natural Environmental Research Council [NE/L002531/1]; National Science Foundation [DEB-1237733, DEB-1456729, 9714103, 0632263, 0856516, 1432277, DEB 9705814, BSR-8811902, DEB 9411973, DEB 0080538, DEB 0218039, DEB 0620910, DEB 0963447, DEB-1546686, DEB-129764]; National Science Foundation (LTER) [DEB-1235828, DEB-1440297, DBI-0620409, DEB-9910514, DEB-1237517, OCE-0417412, OCE-1026851, OCE-1236905, OCE-1637396, DEB 1440409, DEB-0832652, DEB-0936498, DEB-0620652, DEB-1234162, DEB-0823293, OCE-9982105, OCE-0620276, OCE-1232779]; Fundacao para a Ciencia e Tecnologia [POPH/FSE SFRH/BD/90469/2012, SFRH/BD/84030/2012, PTDC/BIA-BIC/111184/2009]; Ciencia sem Fronteiras/CAPES [1091/13-1]; Instituto Milenio de Oceanografia [IC120019]; ARC Centre of Excellence [CE0561432]; NSERC Canada; CONICYT/FONDECYT [1160026, ICM PO5-002, 11110351, 1151094, 1070808, 1130511]; RSF [14-50-00029]; Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation [GBMF4563]; Catalan Government; Marie Curie Individual Fellowship [QLK5-CT2002-51518, MERG-CT-2004-022065]; CNPq [306170/2015-9, 475434/2010-2, 403809/2012-6, 561897/2010, 306595-2014-1]; FAPESP (Sao Paulo Research Foundation) [2015/10714-6, 2015/06743-0, 2008/10049-9, 2013/50714-0, 1999/09635-0 e 2013/50718-5]; EU CLIMOOR [ENV4-CT97-0694]; VULCAN [EVK2-CT2000-00094]; DFG [120/10-2]; Polar Continental Shelf Program; CENPES - PETROBRAS; FAPERJ [E-26/110.114/ 2013]; German Academic Exchange Service; New Zealand Department of Conservation; Wellcome Trust [105621/Z/14/Z]; Smithsonian Atherton Seidell Fund; Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority; Research Council of Norway; Conselleria de Innovacio, Hisenda i Economia; Yukon Government Herschel Island-Qikiqtaruk Territorial Park; UK Natural Environment Research Council ShrubTundra Grant [NE/M016323/1]; IPY; Memorial University; ArcticNet; Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research in the Tropics NWO [W84-194]; Ciencias sem Fronteiras and Coordenacao de Pessoal de Nivel Superior (CAPES, Brazil) [1091/13-1]; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service/State Wildlife federal grant [T-15]; Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies [CE140100020]; Australian Research Council Future Fellowship [FT110100609]; University of Lodz; NSF DEB [1353139]; Catalan Government fellowships (DURSI) [1998FI-00596, 2001BEAI200208]; MECD Post-doctoral fellowship [EX2002-0022]; FONDECYT [1141037]; FONDAP [15150003]; [SFRH/BD/80488/2011]; [PD/BD/52597/2014]; [REN2000-0278/CCI]; [REN2001-003/GLO]; [CGL2016-79835-P]; [AGAUR SGR-2014453]; [SGR-2017-1005]; [FCT - SFRH / BPD / 82259 / 2011]; [OCE 95-21184]; [OCE-0099226]; [OCE 03-5234]; [OCE-0623874]; [OCE-1031061]; [OCE-1336206]; [DEB-1354563]; [OPP-1440435] ; 12 month embargo; published online: 24 July 2018 ; This item from the UA Faculty Publications collection is made available by the University of Arizona with support from the University of Arizona Libraries.
