“…The first description of an amoeba was in 1826 as a membranous type of microorganism whose shape is modified to move in the environment [ 7 ]. However, the first published evidence of this microorganism dates back to 1755 by the German naturist Rösel von Rosenhof AJ in Insecten-Belustigung (extracted from [ 8 ]).…”

Free-living amoebas (FLAs) are microorganisms, unicellular protozoa widely distributed in nature and present in different environments, such as water or soil; they are maintained in ecosystems and play a fundamental role in the biological control of bacteria, other protozoa, and mushrooms. In particular circumstances, some can reach humans or animals, promoting several health complications. Notably, FLAs are characterized by a robust capacity to survive in extreme environments. However, currently, there is no updated information on the existence and distribution of this protozoan in inhospitable places. Undoubtedly, the cellular physiology of these protozoan microorganisms is very particular. They can resist and live in extreme environments due to their encysting capacity and tolerance to different osmolarities, temperatures, and other environmental factors, which give them excellent adaptative resistance. In this review, we summarized the most relevant evidence related to FLAs and the possible mechanism, which could explain their adaptative capacity to several extreme environments.

“…As places devoted to education, those botanic gardens were provided with a « Jardin des Plantes » which included a School of Systematic Botany, or « Ecole de Botanique ». In Brussels, it was planted by AdrienDekin 6 as early as An VI, i.e. 1797 or 1798.…”

“…Shortly before 1820, the lack of space, the greenhouses' fixing costs and the expansion of the City all made the situation of the small botanic garden very uncomfortable 14 and several people began to plead for a new, modern botanical institution in Brussels 15 . At this occasion, one notices the importance given to botanic gardens, markers of modernity and civilisation.…”

This work sketches the history of the School of (Systematic) Botany that was planted in the Brussels Botanic Garden since its early establishment in 1797 to our days. It depicts the changes that were brought to this very peculiar area as well as the evolving attention it underwent under the gun of several factors. These factors not only included switches in scientific paradigms, but political changes also, changes in mentalities, among other things, that impacted the Belgian society. As a case study, the following pages tend to focus on local situations and sources. In addition it intends to encourage further studies not merely on the Schools of Botany and the different kinds of botanic gardens they were embedded in, but on the other types of Schools that surfaced with time and the roles they were given too.

“…The genus has been widely accepted and expanded by subsequent authors, e.g. Bory de St Vincent (1804), Sprengel (1827), Blume (1828), Hooker and Greville (1828) and Kunze (1848). Fée (1852) published the first (and hitherto, only) monographic study of Antrophyum , in which he recognized 24 species from both the New and Old World.…”

Systematics and biogeography of the Old World fern genus Antrophyum

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Antrophyum is one of the largest genera of vittarioid ferns (Pteridaceae) and is most diverse in tropical Asia and the Pacific Islands, but also occurs in temperate Asia, Australia, tropical Africa and the Malagasy region. The only monographic study of Antrophyum was published more than a century ago and a modern assessment of its diversity is lacking. Here, we reconstructed a comprehensively sampled and robustly supported phylogeny for the genus based on four chloroplast markers using Bayesian inference, maximum likelihood and maximum parsimony analyses. We then explored the evolution of the genus from the perspectives of morphology, systematics and historical biogeography. We investigated nine critical morphological characters using a morphometric approach and reconstructed their evolution on the phylogeny. We describe four new species and provide new insight into species delimitation. We currently recognize 34 species for the genus and provide a key to identify them. The results of biogeographical analysis suggest that the distribution of extant species is largely shaped by both ancient and recent dispersal events.
