The Family

The genus Striga Loureiro (1790: 22) belongs to the family Orobanchaceae and comprises about 43 species (Omalsree et al. 2015) with the highest diversity in tropical Africa, where 28 taxa have been recorded and 22 of them are endemic (Mohamed et al. 2001, Fischer et al. 2011). In India, ten species were recorded so far including four recently described species, viz. Striga kamalii Omalsree et al. (2015: 166), S. indica Prabhu et al. (2013: 284), S. musselmanii Omalsree & V.K. Sreenivas (2018a: 99) and S. scottiana Jeeva et al. (2012: 79). Very limited information is available on the genus in India except some sketchy enumerations in the state floras and few geographical distribution reports (Hooker 1884, Gamble & Fischer 1923, Saldanha 1963, Matthew 1981, Sasidharan 2013). The taxonomic position of less known Indian species as S. densiflora Bentham (1835: 41) Bentham (1836: 363), S. masuria (Buch.- Ham. ex Benth. 1835: 41) Benth, (1836: 364), S. sulphurea Dalzell & A. Gibson (1861: 182) etc. is still not clear. As a result, majority of specimens deposited in various herbaria are misidentified and plants are often referred to unresolved names (S. sulphurea) in databases (e.g. The Plant List 2018).

High Diversity

The genus Habrobathynella Schminke, 1973, presently contains six species. Four new species of the genus Habrobathynella, viz. H. krishna n. sp., H. vaitarini n. sp., H. savitri n. sp. and H. vidua n. sp. are described and illustrated herein and their taxonomic position in the genus Habrobathynella discussed. Inhabiting certain rivers and borewells in the State of Andhra Pradesh, southeastern India, these new species introduce several morphologic features that are unique to either the genus or the family Parabathynellidae. The spine row on the uropodal sympod now displays five character states, and high diversity is also seen in the male thoracopod VIII. The salient morphologic characters and their various states in all the habrobathynellid species are reviewed and the original generic diagnosis revised. The palpless mandible with somewhat pyriform pars molaris, bearing 5–6 teeth, is recognised as a signal synapomorphy of Habrobathynella. Two more synapomorphies based on the male thoracopod VIII and caudal furca are added. Considering its special importance in taxonomy, the male thoracopod VIII of the four already known Indian species, viz. H. nagarjunai Ranga Reddy, 2002; H. schminkei Ranga Reddy, 2004; H. indicaRanga Reddy & Schminke, 2005 and H. plenituda Ranga Reddy & Schminke, 2009, has been reexamined based on topotypes and freshly illustrated with line drawings and digital images, and errors in the original accounts are corrected. Also, the ecology, biogeography and conservation of Habrobathynella species are briefly discussed.

<p><strong>Background: </strong>The Campanulaceae are a medium size family of flowering plants in the Dicotyledons, which is well represented in most of Mexico.</p><p><strong>Question: </strong>¿How advanced is the knowledge of the diversity, adequate taxonomic resolution and geographical distribution of a group of vascular plants of lesser economic and ecological relevance?</p><p><strong>Studied taxa: </strong>Members of the family Campanulaceae Juss.</p><p><strong>Studied site: </strong>Territory of the Republic of Mexico.</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> The revision of herbarium specimens with the aid of information found in literature and internet allowed the integration of a catalogue of known members of the family and of their updated names. The obtained list was then subjected to a brief quantitave and phytogeographic analysis.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A list of 117 at least tentatively accepted species is provided together with data on known geographical distribution and brief additional information for each one. The state of Oaxaca proved to be the best represented area with 38 species, eight of which, as well as one genus (<em>Wimmeranthus</em>), are endemic to the state territory.</p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The study shows that the inclusive knowledge of the group still requires the discovery and description of a significant number of species, as well as a particular effort to clarify the correct taxonomic situation of several members of the family.

Phd Thesis

Rubus Linnaeus (1753: 492) is one of the largest genera in the family Rosaceae, represented by more than 700 species (Lu & Boufford 2003) and numerous apomictic taxa distributed worldwide but mainly in temperate regions (Mabberly 2008). The greatest species diversity of the genus is found in Southeastern Asia, East Asia and South America (Kalkman 1993, Gupta & Dash 2015a). The genus is recognized as one of the unsolved complexes for species delimitation due to hybridization, polyploidy and the large number of apomictic taxa (Weber 1996). The genus is characterized by woody or rarely herbaceous habit with simple to pinnate or compound leaves, terminal solitary to racemose and cymose inflorescence subtended by a foliar bract, pentamerous (rarely more petals) flowers with numerous stamens and pistils; drupaceous fruits with a distinct torus. A current estimate shows that, in India, about 75 species occur (Gupta & Dash 2015b) with the largest concentration in eastern Himalayan states. Hooker (1878) reported 41 species of Rubus from the then British India out of which 39 species and 15 varieties are found within the present political boundary of India. Long (1987) reported 35 species and 1 variety from Sikkim while dealing with Flora of Bhutan. Very limited information is available on the genus in India except some sketchy enumerations in the state floras (Kanjilal et al. 1922, Sharma & Kachroo 1981, Chowdhery & Wadhwa 1984, Chowdhery et al. 1996). Therefore, taxonomic treatment of less known Indian species of Rubus has not been worked out; as a result these names are only being referred as unresolved names in contemporary databases (e.g. The Plant List 2013).The majority were collected during the colonial era but without any designation of types. Therefore, to maintain the current taxonomic status, detailed studies are needed for all these species. We (first two authors) currently are revising the taxonomy of Rubus in India and this is part of the PhD thesis of the first author. During our research, we traced specimens of Rubus collected from western Himalaya (India) referable to less known and untypified R. chambicus Rolfe (1920: 132) and R. almorensis Dunn (1921: 310).

Macrobrachium Amazonicum

The state of Roraima presents a great diversity of aquatic environments, such as lakes, buritis trails, wetlands, streams and rivers. This study, therefore, aimed to know the geographical distribution of the M. amazonicum, M. brasiliense and M. jelskii species in the state of Roraima, Brazil. The study area included twelve municipalities in the state of Roraima. The material used in this study was the M. amazonicum, M. brasiliense and M. jelskii specimens deposited in the collection of the Integrated Museum of Roraima-MIRR and the National Institute of Amazonian Research-INPA. The M. brasiliense species originate from scientific expeditions carried out by INPA and MIRR researchers in nine municipalities. Additional shrimp collections. Methods a Freshwater shrimp were collected during the day and night periods, using a 45 × 45 cm wide and 1 mm mesh size collection for hand sampling for hand sampling (puçá); Covo trap; Pet bottle kettle; And a small rectangular trawl. Results 896 individuals of the Pleocyemata suborder of the family Palaemonidae of the genus Macrobrachium were identified, among them the species M. amazonicum, M. brasiliense and M. jelskii. They are distributed in the aquatic ecosystems of plowing and forest in the state of Roraima. The number and geographical distribution of the species M. amazonicum, M. brasiliense and M. jelskii that compose the prawn species of Roraima, corroborated with the proposed study. However, in reference to the intended objective, everything was achieved, promoting the increase of the distribution with respect to freshwater prawns in Roraima.

I utilize my situated position as anthropologist, academician, and citizen to argue not only that we should “think” California, but also that we should “rethink” our state—both its condition and its social cartography. To be clear, I see all my research and endeavors—my research on the US/Mexico border; my time among the markets and entrepreneurs I have worked and lived with; my focus on those places in which I was raised: Lemon Grove, Logan Heights; the family network and my community ethnographic work—as personal. I am in this academic game and the telling of our story because it is personal. When Lemon Grove was segregated, it was about my family; when Logan Heights was split by the construction of Interstate 5 and threatened by police surveillance, it was about our community; when the border was sanctioned and militarized it again was about the communities of which I am a part. A rethinking California is rooted in the experience of living California, of knowing and feeling the condition and the struggles we are experiencing and the crises we have gone through. We need to rethink California, especially the current failure of the state. This too is ultimately personal, because it affects each and every one of us, especially those historically unrepresented folks who have endured over the decades.
