Data from: High vascular plant species richness in the Usumacinta River Basin: a comprehensive floristic checklist for a natural region in the Mesoamerican biodiversity hotspot
<p><span>Background: </span><span>Mesoamerica is one of the most important biodiversity hotspots on the planet. Despite significant efforts made over two centuries to contribute to the floristic knowledge of this region, our understanding of its flora is still scattered and uneven.</span></p> <p><span>Questions:</span> <span>What is the magnitude of the vascular plant species richness in the Usumacinta River Basin?</span></p> <p><span>Study site and dates: </span><span>Usumacinta River Basin (Guatemala and Mexico), 1838–2018.</span></p> <p><span>Methods: </span><span>We compiled the checklist by systematizing the floristic information acquired from various sources derived from numerous floristic and ecological studies.</span></p> <p><span>Results:</span><span> W</span><span>e recorded 6,977 species, 1,892 genera, and 274 families. The largest numbers of species (5,746) and records (58,859) correspond to the Mexican portion of the Usumacinta River Basin, compared to its Guatemalan counterpart (4,445 species and 19,952 records). The most species-rich families were Orchidaceae (598 species), Fabaceae (512), and Asteraceae (476). The prevalence of these and all other families with significant contributions to the flora varied among three elevation-defined sectors into which the Usumacinta River Basin was subdivided (lower, middle, and upper basin).</span></p> <p><span>Conclusions: </span><span>The Usumacinta River Basin is a strategic region for plant biodiversity conservation as it hosts almost one-third of all vascular plant species known for Mesoamerica and ca. 6 % of the entire flora in the Americas. Further botanical exploration should focus on those areas of the basin for which little or no information is available in order to gain a better appreciation of its flora.</span></p>
A dataset on alien vascular plant species in Japan
<p>This dataset contains a list of 1,753 alien vascular plant taxa (i.e., species, infraspecific taxa and hybrids; hereafter species for simplicity) found in Japan and data on the year of first record and pathways of introduction for many, if not all, of these species. The dataset was created during the study documented in the following article:</p> <p><strong>Egawa C. & Koyama A. (2023) Temporal trends in the accumulation of alien vascular plant species through intentional and unintentional introductions in Japan. NeoBiota 83: 179-196. https://doi.org/</strong><strong>10.3897/neobiota.83.101416</strong></p> <p>Procedures for creating the dataset are detailed in the article. Concise explanation of the dataset can be found in the README sheet in the file.</p>
Vascular variants in seed plants – a developmental perspective
<p>Over centuries of plant morphological research, biologists have enthusiastically explored how distinct vascular arrangements have diversified. These investigations have focused on the evolution of steles and secondary growth and examined the diversity of vascular tissues (xylem and phloem), including atypical developmental pathways generated through modifications to the typical development of ancestral ontogenies. A shared vernacular has evolved for communicating on the diversity of alternative ontogenies in seed plants. Botanists have traditionally used the term “anomalous secondary growth” which was later renamed to “cambial variants” by late Dr. Sherwin Carlquist (1988). However, the term “cambial variants” can be vague in meaning since it is applied for developmental pathways that do not necessarily originate from cambial activity. Here, we review the “cambial variants” concept and propose the term “vascular variants” as a more inclusive overarching framework to interpret alternative vascular ontogenies in plants. In this framework, vascular variants are defined by their developmental origin (instead of anatomical patterns), allowing the classification of alternative vascular ontogenies into three categories: (1) <strong>procambial variants</strong>, (2) <strong>cambial variants</strong> and (3) <strong>ectopic cambia</strong>. Each category includes several anatomical patterns. Vascular variants, which represent broader developmental-based groups, can be applied to both extant and fossil plants, and thereby offer a more adequate term from an evolutionary perspective. An overview of the developmental diversity and phylogenetic distribution of vascular variants across selected seed plants is provided. Finally, the evolutionary implications of vascular variants are discussed.</p>
Spatial patterns of phylogenetic and species diversity of Fennoscandian vascular plants in protected areas
<p>Protected areas are one of the main strategic means for conserving biodiversity. Yet, the design of protected areas usually neglects phylogenetic diversity, an important diversity measure. In this paper, we assess the phylogenetic diversity and species richness of vascular plants in Fennoscandian protected areas. We evaluate how much species richness and phylogenetic diversity is found within and outside protected areas, and the differences in diversity between different categories of protected areas. We also assess the differences in the diversity-area relationship of the different protected area categories in terms of both species richness and phylogenetic diversity. We build a multi-locus phylogeny of 1,519 native vascular plants of Norway, Sweden, and Finland. We estimate the phylogenetic diversity and species richness by combining the phylogeny with publicly available occurrence data and the currently protected area system of Fennoscandia. Our results indicate that protected areas in Fennoscandia hold more diversity when larger, and that phylogenetic diversity increases faster with area than species richness. We found evidence for more diversity outside of protected areas of the different countries of Fennoscandia than inside of protected areas, but no evidence for diversity differences between areas with different protection status. Hence, our results indicate that the current protected area system in Fennoscandia is no more effective in conserving phylogenetic diversity and species richness of vascular plants than a random selection of localities. Our results also indicate that planning conservation strategies around phylogenetic diversity, rather than species richness, might be more effective in protecting vascular plant diversity.</p>

Biodiversidata vascular plant occurrence records from Uruguay
<p>As part of the second phase of the Biodiversidata initiative, we present the first comprehensive open-access species-level database of the vascular plant diversity recorded in Uruguay to date (i.e.: all species for which data is currently available and species presence has been confirmed). It contains 12,470 occurrence records from across 1,648 species and 160 families, which roughly represents 60% of the total recorded flora of Uruguay. The primary biodiversity data include extant native and introduced species from the lycophytes, ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms groups. Records were collated from multiple sources including data available in the peer-reviewed scientific literature, institutional scientific collections, and datasets contributed by members of the Biodiversidata initiative.</p>
