PRESENTATION

Piperales

The order is without doubt one of the most fascinating of the angiosperms. This order belongs to the first lineage that evolved after the origin of angiosperms, and which are often referred to as the "Basal Angiosperms." Although it is only a small fraction of the total diversity of the angiosperms present this clade underwent a tremendous diversification before the onset of radiation-eudicots monocots. Apparently some of the current representatives are vestiges of the process of trial and error "selection natural.

Being one of the major orders (4300 ssp.) Of the angiosperms, the order Piperales includes almost all forms of growth and life, such as geophytes, annual herbs, succulents, vines, shrubs, trees, parasites and epiphytes. In addition, its members have a wide variation in floral morphology and pollination syndromes: from highly specialized giant flowers and strange flowers Aristolochia family to the tiny parasitic Hydnoraceae reduced Peperomia flowers.

The course will begin with an introduction and will continue to basal angiosperms the themes of evolution, taxonomy and morphology of their representatives. The course will focus more specifically on gender is highly diverse as Peperomia (1600 spp), so far recorded a high diversity in Peru (400 esp.). In the last decade, our knowledge of this genus has increased dramatically thanks to an extensive field work in various tropical countries and taxonomic research, morphological and phylogenetic conducted by the Research Group spermatophytes and botanical garden of Ghent University, Belgium. Thus, this course will be presented in the most recent data on the systematics, evolution, phylogeny, biogeography of order.

Finally, the course will conclude with an identification exercise in the USM herbarium Peruvian representatives of Basal Angiosperms and Piperales.

INTERNATIONAL GRADUATE COURSE OF FISHERIES ECOLOGY

TEACHER: Dr. Arnaud Bertrand, IRD-France Researcher, Professor Emeritus of San Marcos.

HOME: Monday, 20 September 2010

TIME: 17:00 to 20:30

PLACE: Hall 212 - College Teaching Pavilion Biological Sciences

PRESENTATION: Today research fishing can not be confined in a simple mono-specific management of exploited stocks, regardless of environmental variability and other species. The need to extend the knowledge on ecosystems is somewhat clearer than the fisheries management of the stock is sold to the ecosystem. This necessary evolution is based on the current state of world fisheries: about 75% of stocks are overexploited, catches reach 20 million tonnes, many species are endangered, fisheries have problems on -capitalization, etc. The finding of the current world situation imposes difficult to find alternative solutions in fisheries management. The effects of fishing not only reflective in exploited species but also throughout the ecosystem.

However fishing is only one factor active on aquatic communities. The search for a quantitative understanding of the dynamics of interactions between biotic and abiotic components of marine ecosystems is the foundation of modern fisheries oceanography.

The development of multispecies spatial modeling approaches that integrate the environment and exploitation, they need a link between environmental variability and spatial dynamics of fish stocks and their exploitation. A model is constructed often with historical and current knowledge. But, first, the image we have of the system changes with changes in the methods of in situ and, moreover, ecosystems themselves evolve over time. We must recognize that models are developed with accumulated knowledge in general a posteriori explanatory but not predictive of a satisfactory manner, and strong changes were observed but could be expected. For example acoustic observations showed simultaneous upheavals of ecosystems in different parts of the world. These disorders can get to the radical change in the behavior of animals, which can radically change its own characteristics eco-ethology: changing spatial strategy, type of aggregation, migration patterns, etc. This illustrates the way to go before we really understand the functioning and evolution of populations and ecosystems.

OBJECTIVES

 In this context, this course aims to provide theoretical understanding and analysis allowing inter-specific relationships and the effect of environment (biotic, abiotic and anthropogenic) on fish stocks . To achieve this objective will focus on various aspects: reproduction, recruitment, distribution, availability, catchability and fluctuations in abundance of short to long term. The course will be developed through the framework of an ecosystem approach and present some of the theories in fisheries ecology.
