Ironstone ranges are considered hotspots for higher plants α and β diversity. The lack of studies and the intense degradation of the ironstone ranges, due to mining, motivated us to compile, for the first time, a list of vascular plants collected on iron-rich derived substrates from ancient landscape of south-eastern Brazil. All existing records in the Brazilian Virtual Herbarium of Flora and Fungi for each of the 43 municipalities containing ironstone ranges were downloaded, resulting in 17,954 vouchers identified to the species level. We found 2,933 species belonging to 160 families and 818 genera. For the first time, we identified 148 species mentioned in endangered flora official lists and 48 narrow endemic species. Collecting efforts must still be supported to properly sample the vegetation since, for 143 sites, less than 10 records/site were found. This dataset will assist with the indication of dozens of plant species whose threat criteria must be urgently assessed to subsidise public policies on the use and conservation of the Brazilian flora.

New collections of vascular plants, bryophytes, lichen, and algae are reported for Cunningham Inlet on the north coast of Somerset Island, Nunavut. This list of 48 species of vascular plants, 13 bryophytes, 10 lichens, and five algae includes 136 specimens collected in 2013 and 39 previously unreported specimens from the National Herbarium of Canada at the Canadian Museum of Nature (CAN), Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Vascular Plant Herbarium (DAO), and University of Alberta (ALTA). Ten vascular plants from previous collecting in 1958 are re-reported here to give a comprehensive account of the vascular plant flora of the region. Two vascular plants are recorded for the first time for Somerset Island: Smooth Draba (Draba glabella Pursh) and Edlund’s Fescue (Festuca edlundiae S. G. Aiken, Consaul & Lefkovitch).

We report, for the first time, the occurrence of the muzzled blenny,Omobranchus punctatus, on the coast of São Paulo, South-Eastern Brazil, partially filling a record gap within the species’ expected distribution in Brazil. One individual was found on 16 June 2014 in a sand-bottom tide pool of a tidal flat ecosystem, adjacent to the port of São Sebastião.

Tasmania is the south-eastern island state of Australia. It is geographically isolated and is recognised for both its rich diversity of plant species and high degree of endemism. Although 530 endemic Tasmanian vascular plant species are known, natural products have only been isolated from 27 of these species (~5.1 %), representing 3 classes (Dicotyledonae, Monocotyledonae, and Gymnospermae), 12 families, and 14 genera. Terpenoids, flavonoids, and alkaloids are the major classes of compound that have been isolated from these species. This report provides the first review of the natural products isolated from endemic Tasmanian plant species and covers ~70 years of research in this area.

Fortyfour octopods from bottom trawls off Palmer Archipelago, south-eastern Argentina, south-eastern New Zealand, Crozet Islands and Showa Station were examined. Three species of Pareledone, three species of Graneledone and one species of Megaleledone were identified. All were characterized by having a single row of arm suckers. Mature males of P. harrissoni, P. adelieana and G. macrotyla were recorded for the first time. Hectocotylus and male reproductive organs of these species are described. On the basis of previously reported distributions and the present localities, P. charcoti, P. harrissoni and P. adelieana appear to have circumantarctic distributions. G. macrotyla was identified but the other two species of Graneledone could not be identified to species level because of the poor systematic state of this genus.

Abstract The introduction of non-native predator fish is thought to have important negative effects on native prey populations. Opsanus beta is a non-native toadfish that was originally described in the Gulf of Mexico, between the west coast of Florida and Belize. In the present study, we describe, for the first time, the occurrence of O. beta in Sepetiba Bay (22°55′S), south-eastern Brazil, probably brought into the bay through ships' ballast water. Thirteen specimens were recorded in this area near to Sepetiba Port. Similarly, three other records of this species in the Brazilian coast were also reported near to port areas at Rio de Janeiro (22°49′S), Santos (23°59′S) and Paranaguá (25°33′S) ports. To confirm the species identity, we employed DNA barcoding and compared our samples with sequences deposited on public databases, which indicated that our samples are highly similar (>99.9% of genetic similarity) to O. beta samples collected near its type locality. Several individuals were found in the capable spawning phase, according to histological analysis of the reproductive cell stages. The environmental plasticity of this species and the favourable local environmental conditions probably enabled the establishment of O. beta in this region. This raises concerns of potential high invasion impact due to this species' diet and reproductive capacity.

The paper provides brief information on the formation of the list of vascular plant species that need protection in the Jewish Autonomous Region. The author also reports about the current species composition in the regional Red Data Book. It is for the first time that a distribution and concentration of rare plant species in the region have been analyzed. It is revealed that the maximum density of protected plants is observed in the southern part of the Pompeevsky ridge, and among the administrative areas – in the Oktyabrsky district.

The relative abundance and ecology of 123 lichens, 12 liverworts, 1 peat moss, 59 mosses, and 40 vascular plants are described from the southeastern part of Prince Patrick Island, 76° N latitude. One hundred and three of the lichens, 25 of the bryophytes, and 6 of the vascular plants are first reports for the island. One lichen, Blastenia arctica, is reported for the first time from North America. One hundred and seventy of the species were found on the ground, 51 on rock, 9 on decaying plant material, 9 on bone, 5 on fossil wood, 4 on caribou dung, and 2 on mosses. Sixteen habitat types are described, based upon a relevé analysis of 31 different sites. A percentage of the lichens (95.1%), of the bryophytes (95.8%), and of the vascular plants (60.0%) encountered have a Circumpolar distribution. A percentage of the lichens (3.3%), of the bryophytes (1.4%), of the vascular plants (22.5%) have an American distribution. Eight species have an Amphi-Beringian distribution: lichens, 1.6%; bryophytes, 1.4%; vascular plants, 12.5%. One bryophyte (1.4%) and two vascular plants (5.0%) have an Amphi-Atlantic distribution.

Inselbergs are rounded rock outcrops, usually of Precambrian age, with sparse vegetation cover. The vegetation of inselbergs in Zimbabwe is described for the first time, based upon data sampled from 53 localities. Inselbergs support a range of habitats whose vegetation is described. Data on species richness and floristic composition of the inselberg flora (549 vascular plant, 25 bryophyte and 136 lichen species) are presented. Phytogeography and diversity of inselberg vegetation are discussed. First records for Zimbabwe are reported in lichens and vascular plants.

Parsimony Analysis Of Endemicity

The Austral High Andean area extends from south-eastern Mendoza, Argentina, to the southernmost tip of South America in the form of isles on the peaks of the Andes range. The objective of this biogeographic regionalisation study was to characterise this area. Individual tracks were made on the basis of the distribution maps of 232 species of vascular plants present in the area, from which localities were identified and georeferenced. A parsimony analysis of endemicity (PAE) was used to obtain a generalised track. The results support an area of endemism located mainly in the Neuquén province, which is treated as a district of the Patagonian province that belongs to the Patagonian subregion of the Andean region. This track analysis is a preliminary contribution for understanding the distributional patterns of the High Andean biota within an evolutionary biogeographic framework.
