“…This is almost half of the total number of species known in the world (Lado, 2008), and in four decades of research, nearly double the number previously published from the region by Farr (1976). It includes 86% of known genera, most (71%) represented by more than one species.…”

“…The monograph by Farr (1976) for the series Flora Neotropica, has been taken as a baseline for this review, and the reference has been included in all the countries for which she gave citations. This may lead to some duplication in the numbers of references for a country, but this has not caused duplication in the records of Myxomycetes, which have been listed only once.…”

A synthesis of the accumulated knowledge on myxomycetes recorded from the Neotropical region is presented in this paper. The biodiversity of these microorganisms in the Neotropics has been underestimated, and this paper shows that half the known species in the world have been recorded from the region. The monograph by M.L. Farr, for the series Flora Neotropica, published in 1976, has been taken as a baseline. The records produced after this date, some older obscure records, and data from recently published catalogues, monographs and other papers have been incorporated. The information is presented in a table format by species and countries. Species names are listed with synonyms that have been used in Neotropical literature and nomenclature has been updated. A comprehensive list of references by country has been included. A characteristic assemblage of myxomycetes from the Neotropics has been identified. The richness of myxobiota in different countries has been evaluated, and gaps in current information and unexplored areas have become evident from the results. Use of the compiled information to direct conservation plans, and to serve as a starting point to establish and develop future strategies for the study of myxomycetes in this area of the world, is discussed. The importance of prioritizing this research on microorganismal biodiversity, in view of accelerated habitat destruction, is stressed. Se realiza una síntesis sobre el conocimiento actual de los Myxomycetes en el Neotrópico. La biodiversidad de estos microorganismos en la región neotropical ha sido subestimada, pero este trabajo demuestra que la mitad de las especies conocidas en el mundo se han citado de esta región. La monografía que M.L. Farr publicó en 1976, para la serie Flora Neotrópica, se ha tomado como punto de partida para la realización de este trabajo. A ella se han incorporado las citas publicadas después de esta fecha, algunas más antiguas pero raras, y datos de catálo-gos, monografías y otros trabajos recientes. La información se presenta en una tabla de doble entrada, por orden alfabético de especies y por países. La nomenclatura de las especies se ha actualizado y se han añadido los sinónimos con los que han sido citadas en la bibliografía neotropical. También se incluye una lista de referencias bibliográficas por países. Se ha podido identificar un conjunto de especies de Myxomycetes que, por su abundancia de citas en los países neotropicales, parecen características de la región. Se evalúa, por países, la riqueza de su mixobiota y se ponen de manifiesto la falta de información y los escasos estudios que se han llevado a cabo en determinados territorios de esta región biogeográfica. Se discute y comenta el uso que se puede dar a esta información recopilada, como punto de partida para establecer y desarrollar estrategias de estudio sobre los Myxomycetes en esta parte del mundo. Por último, se llama la atención sobre la importancia y prioridad que se debe dar a la investigación sobre biodiversidad de microorganismos, a la hora de valor...

“…The specimens obtained in the study were identified based on literature (Martin and Alexopoulos, 1969;Farr, 1976;Lado and Pando, 1997;Mitchell, 2012), and those who were in good condition of conservation were deposited at the UFP herbarium (Universidade Federal de Pernambuco).…”

Myxomycetes from mangroves: species occurring in the state of Maranhão, northeastern Brazil

2015

Mangrove swamps and forests cover over 137,000 km 2 distributed latitudinally among subtropical zones, 7% of which are in Brazil, with a greater density in the country's northernmost region. Considering that the community of Myxomycetes recorded for this environment is hardly known, three areas located in the state of Maranhão were investigated. Two field trips were conducted, one at the beginning of the rainy season and another during the dry season. In each area, two plots (125 m 2 ) equidistant 100 m apart from each other were surveyed. In these areas, standing dead tree trunks and dead branches still attached to the mother plant that were above the tideline, were examined. On these same occasions, samples of the aerial litter and from the cortex of living trees (Rhizophora) were collected for the preparation of moist chambers cultures. Twenty-one specimens were obtained from field and moist chambers, belonging to 11 species, distributed in nine genera and five families. Seven species are new records from Maranhão. There was a predominance of r-strategist (73%) over K-strategist (27%) species. Cribraria violacea, Comatricha tenerrima, Echinostelium minutum, and Fuligo septica are new worldwide records from mangrove environments, and Oligonema flavidum is reported for the first time from Brazil.Keywords: Myxobiota, mangrove swamps, Oligonema, Rhizophora, microhabitat. Myxomycetes em manguezais: espécies ocorrentes no estado do Maranhão, nordeste do Brasil ResumoOs manguezais ocupam mais de 137.000 km 2 , distribuídos latitudinalmente entre as zonas subtropicais e 7% encontra-se no Brasil, com maior densidade entre os estados do Pará e Maranhão, na região norte do país. Considerando que a comunidade de mixomicetos registrada para este ambiente é pouco conhecida, três áreas localizadas no estado do Maranhão foram investigadas. Duas excursões foram realizadas, uma no início da estação chuvosa e outra na estiagem. Em cada área, foram georeferenciadas e exploradas duas parcelas (125 m 2 ) equidistantes 100 m uma da outra foram avaliadas. Nestas, foram explorados troncos mortos em pé e galhos mortos ainda presos à planta-mãe, acima da linha da maré. Nas mesmas ocasiões foram coletadas amostras de folhedo aéreo e córtex de árvores vivas (Rhizophora) para montagem de câmaras-úmidas. Foram obtidos 21 espécimes de campo e câmara-úmida, pertencentes a 11 espécies, distribuídas em nove gêneros e cinco famílias. Sete espécies são novos registros para o Maranhão. Predominaram espécies r-estrategistas (73%), e 27% K-estrategistas. Cribraria violacea, Comatricha tenerrima, Echinostelium minutum e Fuligo septica são novos registros para o ambiente de manguezal, e Oligonema flavidum é registrada pela primeira vez no Brasil.
