Population and genetic structure of the West African rain forest liana Ancistrocladus korupensis (Ancistrocladaceae) | Foster P; Sork V | 1997 | American Journal of Botany | allozymes electrophoresis lianas Cameroon conservation characteristics and seed dispersal patterns) of A. korupensis ; (2) quantifies patterns of genetic variation on species and subpopulation levels and fine-scale genetic structure; (3) describes variation in michellamine B content; and (4) makes conservation recommendations based on ecological and genetic data. Ecological data from 457 individuals from seven sites indicate that the A. korupensis population is dominated by canopy-climbing individuals. Population densities are low with values ranging from 2.5 to 12.9 individuals/ha. Reproduction data suggest limited seed dispersal episodic fruiting and no vegetative reproduction. Allozyme data indicate low genetic diversity with only 7.1% of the 14 loci polymorphic. Values for Hobs and He were 0.022 (_ 0.000 SE) and 0.041 (_ 0.000 SE) respectively. Wright\s F statistics analysis suggests that A. korupensis is highly inbred (FIS = 0.455) with moderate levels of subpopulation differentiation (FST = 0.1153). Michellamine B content was best predicted by leaf type but also showed a significant relationship for stage class. The occurrence of rare private alleles in most of the sites low overall population size and density and low availability of individuals for recruitment into the adult stage class are important considerations for the rational management of A. korupensis. |

Spatial distribution and floristic composition of trees and lianas in different forest types of an Amazonian rainforest | Macía MJ | 2011 | Plant Ecology | 60 km apart in Yasuní National Park Amazonian Ecuador. A total of 1087 species with a diameter at breast height = 2.5 cm were recorded in 25 0.1-ha plots. Tierra firme was the habitat with the highest number of species and stem density for trees and lianas followed by floodplain and swamp in both regions. Two hypotheses that have been independently proposed to describe plant distribution in tropical rain forests together explain species spatial distribution in this study. The fact that the 30 most important species per forest type (totalling 119 species) accounted for 48.2% of total individuals supports the oligarchy hypothesis. Likewise 28 out of these 119 species are reported as restricted to a single forest type which supports the environmental-determinism hypothesis. In general both canopy and understorey trees and lianas showed rather similar floristic patterns across different forest types and regions. |
