- Abstract
Epiphytic dinoflagellates were studied in 250 samples from 10 sites in Chelem (a semi-enclosed mangrove lagoon) and Dzilam de Bravo (an exposed coastal locality), on the northern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, during five surveys in 2008-2009. Temperature, salinity, turbidity, pH, dissolved oxygen, nitrates, nitrites, phosphates, silicates, urea, extractable water column chlorophyll-a, precipitation, and wind speed and direction were measured. The Chelem lagoon system showed minor variability in physical-chemical characteristics compared to the exposed site at Dzilam de Bravo. Dinoflagellates were associated with all the host macrophytes examined including four seagrass species and 33 macroalgal species representing 24 genera. A total of 20 dinoflagellate taxa from 12 genera were recovered from these substrates. The genus Prorocentrum contained the largest number of individual species. The variation in mean epiphytic dinoflagellate abundance over both localities ranged from ~200 to 3500 cells g-1 substrate wet weight. Cell abundances at individual sites, in contrast, ranged from ~100 to >25 000 cells g-1 substrate wet weight. This variation is typical of the patchy distribution of these species in time and space. Overall, Prorocentrum rhathymum (up to 2.41x104 cells g-1) was the most abundant species observed across samples. Other abundant species were Bysmatrum caponii (maximum of 1.19x104 cells g-1) and Amphidinium cf. carterae (maximum of 3.69x103 cells g-1). The highest abundances of Gambierdiscus species occurred in May and November (9.90x103 cells g-1) in Chelem when temperatures ranged from 24.5 to 30.2 oC. The data obtained indicate that the greatest potential for ciguatoxin flux into the food web may occur in protected, low turbulence environments, where salinities are high, nutrients abundant, and water temperatures are between 24 and 31 oC.

- Abstract
Trichomes on both leaf surfaces of 17 species of section Barhamia genus Croton were studied using scanning electron microscopy. Stellate-rotate, lepidote-stellate, multiradiate and dendritic trichomes as well as embedded epidermal glands were observed. Based on the morphological variations observed in the section, Barhamia cannot be characterized indisputably by features of the trichomes, although at the species level, trichomes serve as useful distinguishing features., Se hizo un análisis morfológico con microscopía electrónica de barrido de los tricomas presentes en las hojas de 17 especies de la sección Barhamia del género Croton. Se observaron tricomas estrellado-rotados, estrellado-lepidotos, multiradiados y dendríticos, así como glándulas epidérmicas embebidas. Las variaciones morfológicas de los tricomas no permiten caracterizar a la sección de manera inequívoca porque no son exclusivas de la misma, pero se considera que el tipo de tricoma puede ayudar a diferenciar a las especies.

Introduction: Research about the ontogeny of sori, sporangia, receptacular paraphyses and sporogenesis of leptosporangiate ferns are scarce in the scientific literature. Objectives: To describe and analyze the ontogeny of sori, sporangia, receptacular paraphyses and sporogenesis of Phymatosorus scolopendria. Methods: Fertile fronds of P. scolopendria were collected in the campus of the Universidad de Antioquia, Medellín, Colombia, during the months March and May (annual rain season) of 2017. The fertile fronds of the samples at different developmental stages were fixed and processed according to the standard protocols for embedding and sectioning in paraffin and resin. Sections of 0.5 µm obtained in resin were stained with Toluidine blue, which differentially stains primary and secondary walls, highlights the cell nucleus and sporopolenin and secondarily stains polyphenols. For detailed descriptions, additional sections were processed with Safranin-Alcian blue, allowing the distinction of components of primary and secondary walls, nuclei, cuticle and polyphenols; Hematoxylin-Alcian blue to enhance nuclei and primary walls and Phloroglucinol-HCl for lignin. Observations and photographic records were done with a photonic microscope. For the observations and descriptions with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the sori were dehydrated with 2,2-dimethoxypropane, critical point dried and coated with gold. Results: The sori are exindusiate, superficial, vascularized and have mixed development; they are associated with uniseriate and multicellular receptacle paraphyses. During the development of the sori, the epidermal cells of the receptacle that will form the sporangia are the first differentiated followed by those forming the receptacle paraphyses. The sporangium is leptosporangiate, with long stalks formed by one or two cell rows. The annulus of the sporangia displays secondary walls with U-shaped thickenings rich in lignin. The meiosis is simultaneous and the spore tetrads are arranged in a decussate or tetragonal shape. The cellular tapetum is initially unistratified but becomes bistratified after a periclinal division. The cells of the internal strata of the cellular tapetum loose structural integrity giving rise to a plasmodial tapetum that invades the meiotic sporocytes. During the sporoderm development, the sporopollenin-composed exospore is the first formed followed by the endospore, composed by cellulose, pectin and carboxylated polysaccharides; the process ends with the perispore. Polyphenols were mainly detected on vacuoles in cells of the sporangium, paraphysis and receptacle. When the time comes for the spore maturation, the remnants of cellular and the plasmodial tapeta have fully degenerated. Abundant orbicles are seen near the spores in the sporangial cavity. Conclusions: The ontogeny of the sporangia and sporogenesis of P. scolopendria are similar to the previously described for leptosporangiate ferns. Furthermore, in P. scolopendria, the receptacle paraphyses of the sori have a role protecting the sporangium during the early development stages. Introducción: Las investigaciones sobre ontogenia de los soros, esporangios, paráfisis receptaculares y esporogénesis de los helechos leptosporangiados son escasas en la literatura científica. Objectivos: Describir y analizar la ontogenia de los soros, esporangios, paráfisis receptaculares y esporogénesis de Phymatosorus scolopendria. Métodos: Entre marzo y mayo 2017 (época lluviosa del año) se recolectaron frondas fértiles de P. scolopendria en el campus de la Universidad de Antioquia, Medellín-Colombia. Las frondas fértiles, en diferentes etapas del desarrollo se fijaron y procesaron de acuerdo a protocolos estándar para la inclusión y corte en parafina y resina. Las secciones de 0.5 µm obtenidas en resina se tiñeron con azul de Toluidina que tiñe diferencialmente paredes primarias y secundarias, resalta núcleos celulares, y esporopolenina y de manera secundaria tiñe polifenoles. Para descripciones detalladas, otros cortes se tiñeron con Safranina-azul de alciano que discrimina entre componentes de pared primaria, secundaria, núcleos, cutícula y polifenoles; Hematoxilina-azul de alciano para resaltar núcleos y paredes primarias y Fluoroglucinol ácido para detectar lignina. Las observaciones y registro fotográfico se efectuaron con microscopio fotónico. Para la observación y descripción con microscopía electrónica de barrido (MEB), los soros se deshidrataron con 2,2 dimetoxipropano, se desecaron a punto crítico y se metalizaron con oro. Resultados: Los soros son exindusiados, superficiales, vascularizados y de desarrollo mixto, se encuentran asociados a paráfisis receptaculares multicelulares uniseriadas. Durante el desarrollo del soro primero se diferencian las células epidérmicas receptaculares que darán origen a los esporangios y posteriormente las células que originarán a las paráfisis receptaculares. El esporangio es de tipo leptosporangio de pedicelos largos de una o dos filas de células. Los anillos de los esporangios muestran paredes secundarias con engrosamientos en forma de “U” ricos en lignina. La meiosis es simultánea y las tétradas de esporas se disponen de forma decusada o tetragonal. El tapete celular es inicialmente uniestratificado pero por una división mitótica de tipo periclinal, se torna biestratificado. Las células del estrato interno del tapete pierden la integridad estructural dando origen a un tapete plasmodial que invade los esporocitos en meiosis, el estrato externo persiste hasta la etapa de esporas maduras. En las diferentes etapas de desarrollo del esporodermo, primero se forma el exosporio, compuesto por esporopolenina, seguida del endosporio, conformado por celulosa, pectina y polisacáridos carboxilados y finalmente el perisporio. Los polifenoles fueron detectados, principalmente, en las vacuolas de las células de los esporangios, paráfisis y células receptaculares. Para el momento de la liberación de las esporas, tanto la capa externa del tapete celular como el plasmodial han degenerado por completo. En la cavidad esporangial se aprecian orbículas adyacentes a las esporas. Conclusiones: la ontogenia de los esporangios y esporogénesis de P. scolopendria es similar al descrito previamente para helechos leptosporangiados. Adicionalmente, se indica que las paráfisis receptaculares presentes en los soros de P. scolopendria tienen la función de protección de los esporangios durante las primeras etapas del desarrollo.
