New taxa in indonesian bamboos

Abstract: From a recent research on Indonesian bamboo germplasm it has become evident that there are at least 43 undescribed species (6 species of Bambusa, 3 species of Dendrocalamus, 4 species of Dinochloa, 13 species of Gigantochloa, 2 species of Nastus, 2 species of Racemobambos, 11 species of Schizostachyum and 2 species in the new monotyic genera Parabambusa and Pinga) Two new genera (Fimbribambusa and Neololeba) are here separated from Bambusa Schreb

Disturbance Is an Important Driver of Clonal Richness in Tropical Seagrasses

Abstract: Clonality is common in many aquatic plant species, including seagrasses, where populations are maintained through a combination of asexual and sexual reproduction. One common measure used to describe the clonal structure of populations is clonal richness. Clonal richness is strongly dependent on the biological characteristics of the species, and how these interact with the environment but can also reflect evolutionary scale processes especially at the edge of species ranges. However, little is known about the spatial patterns and drivers of clonal richness in tropical seagrasses. This study assessed the spatial patterns of clonal richness in meadows of three tropical seagrass species, Thalassia hemprichii, Halodule uninervis, and Halophila ovalis, spanning a range of life-history strategies and spatial scales (2.5-4,711 km) in Indonesia and NW Australia. We further investigated the drivers of clonal richness using general additive mixed models for two of the species, H. uninervis and H. ovalis, over 8° latitude. No significant patterns were observed in clonal richness with latitude, yet disturbance combined with sea surface temperature strongly predicted spatial patterns of clonal richness. Sites with a high probability of cyclone disturbance had low clonal richness, whereas an intermediate probability of cyclone disturbance and the presence of dugong grazing combined with higher sea surface temperatures resulted in higher levels of clonal richness. We propose potential mechanisms for these patterns related to the recruitment and mortality rates of individuals as well as reproductive effort. Under a changing climate, increased severity of tropical cyclones and the decline in populations of mega-grazers have the potential to reduce clonal richness leading to less genetically diverse populations.

Measuring Perceived Service Quality of Fast Food Restaurant in Islamic Country: A Conceptual Framework☆

Abstract: Service quality is a critical success factor of fast food restaurant. Fast food restaurant managers need to measure and improve the service quality of their restaurant continuously. Given this, the knowledge on measurement of service quality of fast food restaurant is needed. Service quality is an abstract and elusive concept. Furthermore, the way of customer on perceiving the quality of service depends on the type of service and the context where the service is provided. Thus, this paper aims to propose a service quality model that is specifically designed for measuring perceived service quality of fast food restaurant in Islamic Country.
