Assessing non-detrimental trade for a CITES Appendix II-listed plant species: the status of wild and cultivated Galanthus woronowii in Georgia

Oryx (2014)

Abstract A process for the review of significant trade in species listed in CITES Appendix II was established to address problems with the application of CITES Article IV. Article IV states that international trade in Appendix II species requires a Scientific Authority of the state of export to determine that such trade will not be detrimental to the species’ survival in the wild. Such a review process was initiated for the plant species Galanthus woronowii Losinsk. as a result of continuing uncertainty over the sustainability of international exports of the plant from wild populations in Georgia, and the Georgian Management Authority was tasked with determining and reporting whether export levels conformed to Article IV. Here we report on the project that was established to address that task. Nationwide field surveys conducted in 2009 led to the recommendation of a conservative annual export quota of 15 million plants for the sites surveyed. Cultivated populations held significant stocks of harvestable plants but with varied cultivation histories, especially in relation to the extent and nature of supplementary planting. Future work should continue to monitor harvesting from wild populations and identify solutions for local communities wishing to cultivate the plant for international trade.

Samples representing different ramin species, confamilial genera and morphologically similar taxa were obtained. DNA extraction from leaf material and wood products was achieved using commercially available kits. Five chloroplast genes were examined for Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) loci capable of discriminating ramin. A locus within the matK gene was selected and a TaqMan® assay designed for sample genotyping. The assay was validated against different species to demonstrate its specificity and reproducibility. The final assay provides a robust, cost-effective, transferable method for identifying processed ramin. The research represents a feasibility study, addressing each of the steps required to develop a genetic identification assay for enforcement use; however, it should be noted that further work is required to produce a fully validated forensic identification tool.

The discovery and ecology of rare and threatened arable weeds, previously considered extinct in Ireland, on the Aran islands, Co Galway.

Irish Naturalists' Journal/Irish naturalists' journal (1988)

T. G. F. Curtis H.N. McGough E. D. Wymer

As the literature on the flora of selected areas in western Ireland shows, there has been a pronounced decline in the numbers of weed and ruderal species there since the 1930s. Webb and Hodgson (1968) were the first to comment on this decline and since then a further decrease has been noted by Curtis, McGough and Akeroyd (1981) for the Mullet Peninsula, Co Mayo and by Doyle and Foss (1986) for Clare Island in the same county. The reasons for this are usually ascribed to the decline of human populations in western Ireland with a consequent decrease in the area under tillage. Cleaner crop husbandry may also be a major factor along with cleaner seed sources and the use of herbicides (Fryer and Chancellor in Perring (Ed.) 1970, Trist in Perring (Ed.) 1970). In recent times, to this list must be added the shift from tillage to milk and stock production. The decline in weed and ruderal species has been mirrored in the rest of the country and it is now apparent that arable weeds are a highly threatened group of species in the Irish flora. In Britain a similar decline has been noted and the threatened nature of such species has been highlighted by Perring and Farrell (1983). In the Irish Red Data Book for vascular plants, Curtis and McGough (1988) concluded that there are 9 species of arable weed which merit Red List status, 4 of which are highly threatened and the remaining 5 they had assumed, on the evidence known to them, to be extinct. All of these 5 were once widespread but apparently have not been recorded from Ireland since at least 1970. These are corn cockle, Agrostemma githago L., corn chamomile, Anthemis arvensis L., cornflower, Centaurea cyanus L., darnel, Lolium temulentum L. and shepherd's needle, Scandix pecten-veneris L. However this paper reports the finding of L. temulentum and C. cyanus on the Aran islands, Co Galway in July 1987 and details their ecology along with that of two other rare arable weeds, bristle oat, Avena strigosa Schreber and smooth brome, Bromus racemosus L. It will be shown that certain unique agricultural conditions operate on the island that have ensured the survival of such species there.
