Title Leaf-litter ant communities (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in a pristine Guianese rain-forest: Stable functional structure versus high species turnover Type Journal Article
Year 2014 Publication (down) Myrmecological News Abbreviated Journal Myrmecological News
Volume 19 Issue Pages 43-51
Keywords Diversity gradient; Functional groups; Habitat heterogeneity; Litter-dwelling ant communities; Local scale; Pristine Amazonian rainforest; Taxonomic and functional structure
Abstract We compared the ant assemblages from four very heterogeneous habitats over a short-distance elevational gradient of vegetation (due to the presence of an inselberg) at the Nouragues Research Station, French Guiana. We focused on litter-dwelling ants, combining the use of pitfall traps and the Winkler method according to the Ants of the Leaf Litter Proto-col. This permitted us to note (1) a high leaf-litter ant diversity overall and a decreasing diversity gradient from the lowland rainforest to the top of the inselberg, and (2) differences in species density, composition and functional struc-ture. While the ant assemblages on the plateau and inselberg can be considered functionally similar and typical of an Amazonian rainforest, that of the transition forest, relatively homogenous, rather corresponded to an ant fauna typical of open areas. By contrast, the liana forest assemblage was unexpectedly richer and denser than the others, sheltering a litter-dwelling ant fauna dominated by numerous and abundant cryptic species. These taxonomical and functional dissi-milarities may reflect the influence of the environmental heterogeneity, which, through variable abiotic conditions, can contribute to maintaining a notably rich ant biodiversity in these Neotropical habitats.

Title The antipredatory behaviours of neotropical ants towards army ant raids (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Type Journal Article
Year 2014 Publication (down) Myrmecological News Abbreviated Journal Myrmecological News
Volume 19 Issue Pages 17-24
Keywords Antipredatory behaviour; Army ants; Ecitoninae; Prey-ant species
Abstract Group hunting, nomadism, wingless queens and colony fission characterize army ants, allowing them to have become the main tropical arthropod predators, mostly of other social insects. We studied the reactions of different ant species to the New World army ants Eciton burchellii (WESTWOOD, 1842) and E. hamatum (FABRICIUS, 1782) (Ecitoninae). We compiled our results with those already known in a synthetic appendix. A wide range of ant species react to the ap-proach of army ant raids by evacuating their nests with several workers transporting brood. The Eciton plunder a large part of the brood but rarely kill workers or queens, so that the latter return to their nest and resume colony activity. One exception is Paratrechina longicornis (LATREILLE, 1802) colonies that quickly evacuate their nest, so that the entire col-ony can generally escape a raid. Another is Leptogenys mexicana (MAYR, 1870) that leave their nests in columns while some nestmates resist the attack; they therefore lose only a few larvae. We noted that colonies can avoid being raided if the army ants ignore them (Atta cephalotes (LINNAEUS, 1758)), or if the workers produce a repellent substance (Azteca associated with myrmecophytic Cecropia) or are repellent themselves (Pachycondyla villosa (FABRICIUS, 1804), Ec-tatomma spp.). In the other cases, a part of the brood is lost. When an Eciton raid approached the base of their host-tree trunk, Azteca andreae GUERRERO, DELABIE and DEJEAN, 2010 workers dropped a part of their brood on the ground. While numerous Eciton workers were gathering up this brood, the front of the column advanced, so that the Azteca andreae nests were not plundered. Pheidole megacephala (FABRICIUS, 1793) nests were partly plundered as the workers reacted aggressively, blocking the Eciton inside their nests during a long time. When the latter returned toward their bivouac, they were attacked and killed by their nestmates whether or not they had retrieved Pheidole brood. Consequently, the front of the column turned away from the Pheidole nest.

Title The ectomycorrhizal fungus Scleroderma bermudense alleviates salt stress in seagrape (Coccoloba uvifera L.) seedlings Type Journal Article
Year 2006 Publication (down) Mycorrhiza Abbreviated Journal Mycorrhiza
Volume 16 Issue 8 Pages 559-565
Keywords Coccoloba uvifera; ectomycorrhizal dependency; mineral uptake; salt stress; water status
Abstract The purpose of this study was to test the capacity of the ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungus, Scleroderma bermudense, to alleviate saline stress in seagrape (Coccoloba uvifera L.) seedlings. Plants were grown over a range (0, 200, 350 and 500 mM) of NaCl levels for 12 weeks, after 4 weeks of non-saline pre-treatment under greenhouse conditions. Growth and mineral nutrition of the seagrape seedlings were stimulated by S. bermudense regardless of salt stress. Although ECM colonization was reduced with increasing NaCl levels, ECM dependency of seagrape seedlings increased. Tissues of ECM plants had significantly increased concentrations of P and K but lower Na and Cl concentrations than those of non-ECM plants. Higher K concentrations in the leaves of ECM plants suggested a higher osmoregulating capacity of these plants. Moreover, the water status of ECM plants was improved despite their higher evaporative leaf surface. The results suggest that the reduction in Na and Cl uptake together with a concomitant increase in P and K absorption and a higher water status in ECM plants may be important salt-alleviating mechanisms for seagrape seedlings growing in saline soils.

Title Global sampling of plant roots expands the described molecular diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi Type Journal Article
Year 2013 Publication (down) Mycorrhiza Abbreviated Journal
Volume 23 Issue 5 Pages 411-430
Keywords 454-sequencing; Biogeography; Database; Diversity; Fungal macroecology; Glomeromycota
Abstract We aimed to enhance understanding of the molecular diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) by building a new global dataset targeting previously unstudied geographical areas. In total, we sampled 96 plant species from 25 sites that encompassed all continents except Antarctica. AMF in plant roots were detected by sequencing the nuclear SSU rRNA gene fragment using either cloning followed by Sanger sequencing or 454-sequencing. A total of 204 AMF phylogroups (virtual taxa, VT) were recorded, increasing the described number of Glomeromycota VT from 308 to 341 globally. Novel VT were detected from 21 sites; three novel but nevertheless widespread VT (Glomus spp. MO-G52, MO-G53, MO-G57) were recorded from six continents. The largest increases in regional VT number were recorded in previously little-studied Oceania and in the boreal and polar climatic zones – this study providing the first molecular data from the latter. Ordination revealed differences in AM fungal communities between different continents and climatic zones, suggesting that both biogeographic history and environmental conditions underlie the global variation of those communities. Our results show that a considerable proportion of Glomeromycota diversity has been recorded in many regions, though further large increases in richness can be expected in remaining unstudied areas. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

Title Cantharellaceae of Guyana II: New species of Craterellus, new South American distribution records for Cantharellus guyanensis and Craterellus excelsus, and a key to the Neotropical taxa Type Journal Article
Year 2014 Publication (down) Mycologia Abbreviated Journal Mycologia
Volume 106 Issue 2 Pages 307-324
Keywords Cantharellales; Coccoloba; Dicymbe; Ectomycorrhizae; Guiana shield; Tropical fungi
Abstract Craterellus olivaceoluteus sp. nov. and Craterellus cinereofimbriatus sp. nov. are described as new to science. These fungi were collected from Guyana in association with ectomycorrhizal host trees in the genera Dicymbe (Fabaceae subfam. Caesalpinioideae) and Pakaraimaea (Dipterocarpaceae). Cantharellus guyanensis Mont., originally described from French Guiana, is redescribed from recent collections from Guyana, with additional range extensions for the species provided based on material examined from French Guiana, Venezuela, and north central, northeastern and southern Brazil, circumscribing nearly the entire Guiana Shield region and beyond. A new distribution record from French Guiana is provided for Craterellus excelsus T.W. Henkel & Aime. Macromorphological, micromorphological and habitat data are provided for the new species and C. guyanensis as well as DNA sequence data from the nuclear ribosomal regions of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and 28S large subunit (LSU); additional sequence data is provided for C. guyanensis and C. excelsus specimens collected outside Guyana. The relationships of these taxa within the Cantharellaceae were evaluated with phylogenetic analyses of ITS and LSU sequence data. This work brings the total number of Cantharellaceae species known from Guyana to eight. A key to the Cantharellus and Craterellus species known from the lowland Neotropics and extralimital montane Central and South America is provided. © 2014 by The Mycological Society of America.

Title Two novel Ty1-copia retrotransposons isolated from coffee trees can effectively reveal evolutionary relationships in the Coffea genus (Rubiaceae) Type Journal Article
Year 2011 Publication (down) Molecular Genetics and Genomics Abbreviated Journal Mol. Genet. Genomics
Volume 285 Issue 6 Pages 447-460

Abstract In the study, we developed new markers for phylogenetic relationships and intraspecies differentiation in Coffea. Nana and Divo, two novel Ty1-copia LTR-retrotransposon families, were isolated through C. canephora BAC clone sequencing. Nana- and Divo-based markers were used to test their: (1) ability to resolve recent phylogenetic relationships; (2) efficiency in detecting intra-species differentiation. Sequence-specific amplification polymorphism (SSAP), retrotransposon-microsatellite amplified polymorphism (REMAP) and retrotransposon-based insertion polymorphism (RBIP) approaches were applied to 182 accessions (31 Coffea species and one Psilanthus accession). Nana- and Divo-based markers revealed contrasted transpositional histories. At the BAC clone locus, RBIP results on C. canephora demonstrated that Nana insertion took place prior to C. canephora differentiation, while Divo insertion occurred after differentiation. Combined SSAP and REMAP data showed that Nana could resolve Coffea lineages, while Divo was efficient at a lower taxonomic level. The combined results indicated that the retrotransposon-based markers were useful in highlighting Coffea genetic diversity and the chronological pattern of speciation/differentiation events. Ongoing complete sequencing of the C. canephora genome will soon enable exhaustive identification of LTR-RTN families, as well as more precise in-depth analyses on contributions to genome size variation and Coffea evolution. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.

Title Genome skimming by shotgun sequencing helps resolve the phylogeny of a pantropical tree family Type Journal Article
Year 2014 Publication (down) Molecular Ecology Resources Abbreviated Journal Mol. Ecol. Resour.
Volume 14 Issue 5 Pages 966-975
Keywords Next-generation sequencing; Organellar genome; Phylogenomics; Tropical trees
Abstract Whole genome sequencing is helping generate robust phylogenetic hypotheses for a range of taxonomic groups that were previously recalcitrant to classical molecular phylogenetic approaches. As a case study, we performed a shallow shotgun sequencing of eight species in the tropical tree family Chrysobalanaceae to retrieve large fragments of high-copy number DNA regions and test the potential of these regions for phylogeny reconstruction. We were able to assemble the nuclear ribosomal cluster (nrDNA), the complete plastid genome (ptDNA) and a large fraction of the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) with approximately 1000×, 450× and 120× sequencing depth respectively. The phylogenetic tree obtained with ptDNA resolved five of the seven internal nodes. In contrast, the tree obtained with mtDNA and nrDNA data were largely unresolved. This study demonstrates that genome skimming is a cost-effective approach and shows potential in plant molecular systematics within Chrysobalanaceae and other under-studied groups. © 2014 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
