Madeira is often referred to as the floating garden. The reason for this unusual name, its astonishing floral diversity. Out of the hundreds of species of plant, a high proportion of these are endemic to Madeira.
Endemism is a common pattern shared by oceanic islands around the world. So why is this case? In this episode, David explores the fundamentals of island ecology, in an introduction to the subject.

Thesis Title:
The cultural ecology of the "Trueque Chilote", potato-wood barter trade routes, in the Chiloé Region of Chile.
Abstract:
An endemic potato-wood barter system known as "Trueque Chilote" has been in place between the islands of Chiloé and the surrounding mainland communities of Patagonia for hundreds of years. This has produced unique natural and cultural dynamics based on primary food production and natural resource needs. This study describes the current socio-ecological implications of the barter system for the conservation of heirloom crops and forest sustainability in the region. The project includes three core elements. i) Field observations based on semi-structured interviews with inhabitants describing the trade networks between the island and forest communities; ii) Site visits to the participating communities and homesteads to document forest type, cover and productivity as well as the agricultural productivity of the potato producing sites; and, iii) Analysis of remote sensing imagery to determine and corroborate field observations for forest coverage and potato field coverage and productivity at a regional scale. The project combines these three study methods to derive a current description of the geographical extent and implications of the Trueque Chilote barter trade in the area. It appears that the Chilote island potato-wood barter system serves an important role in maintaining the production of heirloom potato varieties and the independent non-monetary peasant lifestyles that characterize the region with a limited effect on the forest ecology of the mainland.

Kauri Dieback Symposium 30th November 2013
Talk 1 of 13
Kauri (Agathis australis) is an endemic New Zealand conifer confined to forests of northern North Island which is currently threatened by dieback caused by Phytophthora 'taxon Agathis'. An informed response to this dieback demands consideration of the importance of kauri across ecological, economic, cultural and social spheres. Kauri is the sole native representative of the Araucariaceae in New Zealand with other members of this ancient lineage mostly subtropical. It has a number of unusual biological characteristics, e.g. capacity to grow to great size, age, and biomass, and sluggishly decomposing litter which massively accumulates on the forest floor. These characteristics allow kauri to strongly influence the ecosystems in which it occurs and to act as a selective agent for the biotic communities that develop around it. This suggests that loss of kauri through kauri dieback will result in major re-assortments of species distributions within northern forests, leading to major losses of forest diversity at local and landscape scales, and the probable complete loss of a range of species highly dependent on kauri to provide habitat. Kauri has also been an important forestry species in the past and the historic exploitation of kauri forests and gum were keystone economic activities for colonial New Zealand. Currently, kauri's economic contribution is largely linked to tourism and mining of a finite store of buried wood, but consideration of its silvicultural properties indicates huge potential for a future timber resource if replanted. Socially and culturally, kauri is a flagship species for northern New Zealand, with people identifying the presence of kauri with their sense of place and cultural identity. These considerations indicate kauri has enormous importance to New Zealand and provides ample justification for efforts to prevent or reduce losses due to kauri dieback.

Ecology, Research and Conservation in Borneo
Borneo is considered the centre of evolution leading to high species and subspecies endemism. Among the endemic species are about 5,000 species of plants, 19 species of fish, 100 species of amphibians, 39 species of birds and 44 species of mammals. It account for about 6% of the biological diversity in the world. Our previous investigations over 20 years have helped to defined mode and tempo of evolution on selected species of mammals in Borneo. Among the primates, chiropterans and rodents there are a few genetic species and subspecies are yet to be described.

The Great Barrier Reef supports a diversity of life, including many vulnerable or endangered species, some of which may be endemic to the reef system.
Thirty species of whales, dolphins, and porpoises have been recorded in the Great Barrier Reef, including the dwarf minke whale, Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin, and the humpback whale. Large populations of dugongs live there. More than 1,500 fish species live on the reef, including the clownfish, red bass, red-throat emperor, and several species of snapper and coral trout. Forty-nine species mass spawn, while eighty-four other species spawn elsewhere in their range. Seventeen species of sea snake live on the Great Barrier Reef in warm waters up to 50 metres deep and are more common in the southern than in the northern section. None found in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area are endemic, nor are any endangered.
Six species of sea turtles come to the reef to breed -- the green sea turtle, leatherback sea turtle, hawksbill turtle, loggerhead sea turtle, flatback turtle, and the olive ridley. The green sea turtles on the Great Barrier Reef have two genetically distinct populations, one in the northern part of the reef and the other in the southern part. Fifteen species of seagrass in beds attract the dugongs and turtles, and provide fish habitat. The most common genera of seagrasses are Halophila and Halodule.
Saltwater crocodiles live in mangrove and salt marshes on the coast near the reef. Nesting has not been reported, and the salt water crocodile population in the GBRWHA is wide-ranging but low density. Around 125 species of shark, stingray, skates or chimaera live on the reef. Close to 5,000 species of mollusc have been recorded on the reef, including the giant clam and various nudibranchs and cone snails. Forty-nine species of pipefish and nine species of seahorse have been recorded. At least seven species of frog inhabit the islands.
215 species of birds (including 22 species of seabirds and 32 species of shorebirds) visit the reef or nest or roost on the islands, including the white-bellied sea eagle and roseate tern. Most nesting sites are on islands in the northern and southern regions of the Great Barrier Reef, with 1.4 to 1.7 million birds using the sites to breed. The islands of the Great Barrier Reef also support 2,195 known plant species; three of these are endemic. The northern islands have 300 to 350 plant species which tend to be woody, whereas the southern islands have 200 which tend to be herbaceous; the Whitsunday region is the most diverse, supporting 1,141 species. The plants are propagated by birds.
There are at least 330 species of ascidians on the reef system with the diameter of 1 to 10 cm. Between 300 to 500 species of bryozoans live on the reef. Four hundred coral species, both hard corals and soft corals inhabit the reef. The majority of these spawn gametes, breeding in mass spawning events that are triggered by the rising sea temperatures of spring and summer, the lunar cycle, and the diurnal cycle. Reefs in the inner Great Barrier Reef spawn during the week after the full moon in October, while the outer reefs spawn in November and December. It's common soft corals belong to 36 genera. Five hundred species of marine algae or seaweed live on the reef, including thirteen species of genus Halimeda, which deposit calcareous mounds up to 100 metres wide, creating mini-ecosystems on their surface which have been compared to rainforest cover.

Endemism is the ecological state of being unique to a defined geographic location, such as an island, nation or other defined zone, or habitat type; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. For example, all species of lemur are endemic to the island of Madagascar; none are native elsewhere. The extreme opposite of endemism is cosmopolitan distribution.
Physical, climatic, and biological factors can contribute to endemism. The Orange-breasted Sunbird is exclusively found in the fynbos vegetation zone of southwestern South Africa. Political factors can play a part if a species is protected, or actively hunted, in one jurisdiction but not another.
There are two subcategories of endemism - paleoendemism and neoendemism. Paleoendemism refers to a species that was formerly widespread but is now restricted to a smaller area. Neoendemism refers to a species that has recently arisen such as a species that has diverged and become reproductively isolated, or one that has formed following hybridization and is now classified as a separate species. This is a common process in plants, especially those that exhibit polyploidy.

Ecology (from Greek: οἶκος, "house"; -λογία, "study of") is the scientific study of the relations that living organisms have with respect to each other and their natural environment. Variables of interest to ecologists include the composition, distribution, amount (biomass), number, and changing states of organisms within and among ecosystems. Ecosystems are hierarchical systems that are organized into a graded series of regularly interacting and semi-independent parts (e.g., species) that aggregate into higher orders of complex integrated wholes (e.g., communities). Ecosystems are sustained by the biodiversity within them. Biodiversity is the full-scale of life and its processes, including genes, species and ecosystems forming lineages that integrate into a complex and regenerative spatial arrangement of types, forms, and interactions. Ecosystems create biophysical feedback mechanisms between living (biotic) and nonliving (abiotic) components of the planet. These feedback loops regulate and sustain local communities, continental climate systems, and global biogeochemical cycles.

Kauri is the sole native representative of the Araucariaceae in New Zealand with other members of this ancient lineage mostly subtropical. It has a number of unusual biological characteristics, e.g. capacity to grow to great size, age, and biomass, and sluggishly decomposing litter which massively accumulates on the forest floor. These characteristics allow kauri to strongly influence the ecosystems in which it occurs and to act as a selective agent for the biotic communities that develop around it. This suggests that loss of kauri through kauri dieback will result in major re-assortments of species distributions within northern forests, leading to major losses of forest diversity at local and landscape scales, and the probable complete loss of a range of species highly dependent on kauri to provide habitat. Kauri has also been an important forestry species in the past and the historic exploitation of kauri forests and gum were keystone economic activities for colonial New Zealand. Currently, kauri's economic contribution is largely linked to tourism and mining of a finite store of buried wood, but consideration of its silvicultural properties indicates huge potential for a future timber resource if replanted. Socially and culturally, kauri is a flagship species for northern New Zealand, with people identifying the presence of kauri with their sense of place and cultural identity. These considerations indicate kauri has enormous importance to New Zealand and provides ample justification for efforts to prevent or reduce losses due to kauri dieback. -

Prof. Dato’ Dr. Mohd Tajuddin bin Abdullah Centre for Kenyir Ecosystems Research, Institut Penyelidikan Kenyir, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu. Ecology, Research and Conservation in Borneo Borneo is considered the centre of evolution leading to high species and subspecies endemism. Among the endemic species are about 5,000 species of plants, 19 species of fish, 100 species of amphibians, 39 species of birds and 44 species of mammals. It account for about 6% of the biological diversity in the world. Our previous investigations over 20 years have helped to defined mode and tempo of evolution on selected species of mammals in Borneo. Among the primates, chiropterans and rodents there are a few genetic species and subspecies are yet to be described. (9 - 10 June 2015, Menara Tun Mustapha, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah) -

The Great Barrier Reef supports a diversity of life, including many vulnerable or endangered species, some of which may be endemic to the reef system. Thirty species of whales, dolphins, and porpoises have been recorded in the Great Barrier Reef, including the dwarf minke whale, Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin, and the humpback whale. Large populations of dugongs live there. More than 1,500 fish species live on the reef, including the clownfish, red bass, red-throat emperor, and several species of snapper and coral trout. Forty-nine species mass spawn, while eighty-four other species spawn elsewhere in their range. Seventeen species of sea snake live on the Great Barrier Reef in warm waters up to 50 metres deep and are more common in the southern than in the northern section. None found in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area are endemic, nor are any endangered. Six species of sea turtles come to the reef to breed -- the green sea turtle, leatherback sea turtle, hawksbill turtle, loggerhead sea turtle, flatback turtle, and the olive ridley. The green sea turtles on the Great Barrier Reef have two genetically distinct populations, one in the northern part of the reef and the other in the southern part. Fifteen species of seagrass in beds attract the dugongs and turtles, and provide fish habitat. The most common genera of seagrasses are Halophila and Halodule. Saltwater crocodiles live in mangrove and salt marshes on the coast near the reef. Nesting has not been reported, and the salt water crocodile population in the GBRWHA is wide-ranging but low density. Around 125 species of shark, stingray, skates or chimaera live on the reef. Close to 5,000 species of mollusc have been recorded on the reef, including the giant clam and various nudibranchs and cone snails. Forty-nine species of pipefish and nine species of seahorse have been recorded. At least seven species of frog inhabit the islands. 215 species of birds (including 22 species of seabirds and 32 species of shorebirds) visit the reef or nest or roost on the islands, including the white-bellied sea eagle and roseate tern. Most nesting sites are on islands in the northern and southern regions of the Great Barrier Reef, with 1.4 to 1.7 million birds using the sites to breed. The islands of the Great Barrier Reef also support 2,195 known plant species; three of these are endemic. The northern islands have 300 to 350 plant species which tend to be woody, whereas the southern islands have 200 which tend to be herbaceous; the Whitsunday region is the most diverse, supporting 1,141 species. The plants are propagated by birds. There are at least 330 species of ascidians on the reef system with the diameter of 1 to 10 cm. Between 300 to 500 species of bryozoans live on the reef. Four hundred coral species, both hard corals and soft corals inhabit the reef. The majority of these spawn gametes, breeding in mass spawning events that are triggered by the rising sea temperatures of spring and summer, the lunar cycle, and the diurnal cycle. Reefs in the inner Great Barrier Reef spawn during the week after the full moon in October, while the outer reefs spawn in November and December. It's common soft corals belong to 36 genera. Five hundred species of marine algae or seaweed live on the reef, including thirteen species of genus Halimeda, which deposit calcareous mounds up to 100 metres wide, creating mini-ecosystems on their surface which have been compared to rainforest cover.

Cultural Ecology of Chilote Barter - Richard Vercoe
Thesis Title: The cultural ecology of the "Trueque Chilote", potato-wood barter trade routes, in the Chiloé Region of Chile. Abstract: An endemic potato-wood barter system known as "Trueque Chilote" has been in place between the islands of Chiloé and the surrounding mainland communities of Patagonia for hundreds of years. This has produced unique natural and cultural dynamics based on primary food production and natural resource needs. This study describes the current socio-ecological implications of the barter system for the conservation of heirloom crops and forest sustainability in the region. The project includes three core elements. i) Field observations based on semi-structured interviews with inhabitants describing the trade networks between the island and forest communitie... -

The cultural ecology of the "Trueque Chilote", potato-wood barter trade routes, in the Chiloé Region of Chile.
Abstract:
An endemic potato-wood barter system known as "Trueque Chilote" has been in place between the islands of Chiloé and the surrounding mainland communities of Patagonia for hundreds of years. This has produced unique natural and cultural dynamics based on primary food production and natural resource needs. This study describes the current socio-ecological implications of the barter system for the conservation of heirloom crops and forest sustainability in the region. The project includes three core elements. i) Field observations based on semi-structured interviews with inhabitants describing the trade networks between the island and forest communities; ii) Site visits to the participating communities and homesteads to document forest type, cover and productivity as well as the agricultural productivity of the potato producing sites; and, iii) Analysis of remote sensing imagery to determine and corroborate field observations for forest coverage and potato field coverage and productivity at a regional scale. The project combines these three study methods to derive a current description of the geographical extent and implications of the Trueque Chilote barter trade in the area. It appears that the Chilote island potato-wood barter system serves an important role in maintaining the production of heirloom potato varieties and the independent non-monetary peasant lifestyles that characterize the region with a limited effect on the forest ecology of the mainland.

Kauri Dieback Symposium 30th November 2013
Talk 1 of 13
Kauri (Agathis australis) is an endemic New Zealand conifer confined to forests of northern North Island which is currently threatened by dieback caused by Phytophthora 'taxon Agathis'. An informed response to this dieback demands consideration of the importance of kauri across ecological, economic, cultural and social spheres. Kauri is the sole native representative of the Araucariaceae in New Zealand with other members of this ancient lineage mostly subtropical. It has a number of unusual biological characteristics, e.g. capacity to grow to great size, age, and biomass, and sluggishly decomposing litter which massively accumulates on the forest floor. These characteristics allow kauri to strongly influence the ecosystems in which it occurs and to act as a selective agent for the biotic communities that develop around it. This suggests that loss of kauri through kauri dieback will result in major re-assortments of species distributions within northern forests, leading to major losses of forest diversity at local and landscape scales, and the probable complete loss of a range of species highly dependent on kauri to provide habitat. Kauri has also been an important forestry species in the past and the historic exploitation of kauri forests and gum were keystone economic activities for colonial New Zealand. Currently, kauri's economic contribution is largely linked to tourism and mining of a finite store of buried wood, but consideration of its silvicultural properties indicates huge potential for a future timber resource if replanted. Socially and culturally, kauri is a flagship species for northern New Zealand, with people identifying the presence of kauri with their sense of place and cultural identity. These considerations indicate kauri has enormous importance to New Zealand and provides ample justification for efforts to prevent or reduce losses due to kauri dieback.

The Great Barrier Reef supports a diversity of life, including many vulnerable or endangered species, some of which may be endemic to the reef system.
Thirty species of whales, dolphins, and porpoises have been recorded in the Great Barrier Reef, including the dwarf minke whale, Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin, and the humpback whale. Large populations of dugongs live there. More than 1,500 fish species live on the reef, including the clownfish, red bass, red-throat emperor, and several species of snapper and coral trout. Forty-nine species mass spawn, while eighty-four other species spawn elsewhere in their range. Seventeen species of sea snake live on the Great Barrier Reef in warm waters up to 50 metres deep and are more common in the southern than in the northern section. None found in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area are endemic, nor are any endangered.
Six species of sea turtles come to the reef to breed -- the green sea turtle, leatherback sea turtle, hawksbill turtle, loggerhead sea turtle, flatback turtle, and the olive ridley. The green sea turtles on the Great Barrier Reef have two genetically distinct populations, one in the northern part of the reef and the other in the southern part. Fifteen species of seagrass in beds attract the dugongs and turtles, and provide fish habitat. The most common genera of seagrasses are Halophila and Halodule.
Saltwater crocodiles live in mangrove and salt marshes on the coast near the reef. Nesting has not been reported, and the salt water crocodile population in the GBRWHA is wide-ranging but low density. Around 125 species of shark, stingray, skates or chimaera live on the reef. Close to 5,000 species of mollusc have been recorded on the reef, including the giant clam and various nudibranchs and cone snails. Forty-nine species of pipefish and nine species of seahorse have been recorded. At least seven species of frog inhabit the islands.
215 species of birds (including 22 species of seabirds and 32 species of shorebirds) visit the reef or nest or roost on the islands, including the white-bellied sea eagle and roseate tern. Most nesting sites are on islands in the northern and southern regions of the Great Barrier Reef, with 1.4 to 1.7 million birds using the sites to breed. The islands of the Great Barrier Reef also support 2,195 known plant species; three of these are endemic. The northern islands have 300 to 350 plant species which tend to be woody, whereas the southern islands have 200 which tend to be herbaceous; the Whitsunday region is the most diverse, supporting 1,141 species. The plants are propagated by birds.
There are at least 330 species of ascidians on the reef system with the diameter of 1 to 10 cm. Between 300 to 500 species of bryozoans live on the reef. Four hundred coral species, both hard corals and soft corals inhabit the reef. The majority of these spawn gametes, breeding in mass spawning events that are triggered by the rising sea temperatures of spring and summer, the lunar cycle, and the diurnal cycle. Reefs in the inner Great Barrier Reef spawn during the week after the full moon in October, while the outer reefs spawn in November and December. It's common soft corals belong to 36 genera. Five hundred species of marine algae or seaweed live on the reef, including thirteen species of genus Halimeda, which deposit calcareous mounds up to 100 metres wide, creating mini-ecosystems on their surface which have been compared to rainforest cover.
