STUDY MATERIAL / NOTES FOR T.Y.B.SCTOPIC- ENDEMISM , A/Y - 2012-13

 Endemism is the ecological state of being unique to a particular geographic location, such as a specific island, habitat type, nation or other defined zone. To be endemic to a place or area means that it is found only in that part of the world and nowhere else.The extreme opposite of endemism is cosmopolitan distribution. 

Physical, climatic, and biological factors can contribute to endemism.  Political factors can play a part if a species is protected, or actively hunted, in one jurisdiction but not another.

There are two subcategories of endemism - paleoendemism and neoendemism. Paleoendemism refers to a species that was formerly widespread but is now restricted to a smaller area. Neoendemism refers to a species that has recently arisen such as a species that has diverged and become reproductively isolated, or one that has formed following hybridization and is now classified as a separate species. This is a common process in plants especially those which exhibit polyploidy.

Endemic types or species are especially likely to develop on biologically isolated areas such as islands because of their geographical isolation. This includes remote island groups, such as Hawaii, the Galápagos Islands, and Socotra, and biologically isolated but not island areas such as the highlands of Ethiopia, or large bodies of water like Lake Baikal.

Endemics can easily become endangered or extinct if their restricted habitat changes, particularly but not only due to human actions, including the introduction of new organisms. There were millions of both Bermuda Petrels and "Bermuda cedars" (actually junipers) in Bermuda when it was settled at the start of the seventeenth century. By the end of the century, the petrels were thought extinct. Cedars, already ravaged by centuries of shipbuilding, were driven nearly to extinction in the twentieth century by the introduction of a parasite. Bermuda petrels and cedars, although not actually extinct, are very rare today, as are other species endemic to Bermuda.

NOTES FOR TYBSc :- Topic:- Origin of Angiosperms

Place of origin of angiosperms:-

The place of origin of angiosperms has no concrete suggestions and it is also not yet finally decided. There are 3 main views regarding the place of origin.

Hear (1868) recommended the polar region to be the center of origin. This recommendation was supported by Hooker (1887), Engler(1904 and Arnold (1947). But Croziat criticized this idea .

Hallier 1912 stated that the basin of the pacific ocean to be the cradle of angiosperms. Many primitive families like Magnoliacae etc. are concentrated about the pacific basin. This idea did not get any support from geological evidences.

Baily !949 supported Northern`Australia , New Guania, New Caledonia, Fiji and adjacent areas are the places of origin of angiosperms as these areas shows rich assemblage of primitive forms of angiosperms. Takhtajan supported that the eastern south eastern Asia, Australia and Malonesia as the birth place of angiosperms.

 

TIME OF ORIGION OF ANGIOSPERMS

The time of origin of angiosperms is decided mainly on the basis of available fossil record.  From middle Cretaceous onwards there is plenty of fossil record of angiosperms which suggests their great presence. Unfortunately very scanty fossil record of angisperms is available from Triassic and Jurassic period. The oldest known fossil of angisperm is Furcula granulifera which is a leaf fossil found from the late triassic rocks of Greenland. This is the direct proof of their presence in late triassic. Some of the scientists believe that angiosperms may have originated even before triassic (Permian period of mesozoic) but the conditions were not suitable for fossilization as they were dwelling to highland areas. Therefore the time of origin can be traced back to early Mesozoic ( Permian period )or late Paleozoic (Triassic period).

There are many views regarding ancestry of angiosperms. Different plant groups were proposed as ancestors to angiosperms by various workers. Three important theories of origin of angiosperms are summarized as under.

Gnetalean theory :-

According to this theory Gnetales, a order of gymnosperms is supposed to be the ancestor of angiosperms.Wettstein (1901), proposed this theory and Markgraf (1930) and Fagerlind (1947) strongly supported his views. This theory is based on the apparent (external) similarities observed between the two groups. 

1)The leaf of Gnetum with broad lamina and reticulate venation exactly looks like a typical dicot leaf. 

2)Presence of two cotyledons and vessels are other common characters between the two groups. 

3)The unisexual inflorescence of Gnetum can easily compared with the catkin of many amentiferous angiosperms. 

4)The stamens of three genera of Gnetales are apparently similar to those of angiosperms. 

5)The gametophytes in both the groups are highly reduced.

Weakness of the theory-

This theory is objected and criticized on the dissimilarities on issues like ontogeny (development) of vessels, cotyledonary characters, loss of archegonia , vascular anatomy of ovule and female gametophyte.

Bennettitalean theory

Saporta and Marion(1885), and later Arber and Parkin (1907), proposed the Bennettitales, the extinct group of gymnosperms to be the possible ancestors of angiosperms. The basis of this theory is the resemblance in structure between the srobili of the Mesozoic genus Cycadeoidea and the flowers of Magnolia.  Both these structures are bisexual and consists of an elongated axis on which the protective bracts, microsporophylls and megasporophylls are arranged successively from below upwards. 

Weakness of the theory- Detailed studies reveal that there are several differences in spite of this superficial resemblance. The microsporophylls (stamens) of magnolia are free and are spirally arranged on the axis but in bennettitales they are whorled  and mostly connate. The megasporophylls of bennettitales are greatly reduced, simplified stalk like structures, each bearing a solitary terminal ovule. Between megasporophylls there are sterile scales which appear to be sterilized megasporophylls. These are protective in function. There are no such structures in the flower of Magnolia. Further the micropylar tube formed in the ovules of bennettitales is unknown in angiosperms and the pollen grains are shed on the stigma of carpel. Again the seeds of bennettitales are non endospermic with a large embryo while those of primitive angiosperms are with copies endosperm and small embryo. Lastly the bennettitalean stem has a large pith, a thin vascular cylinder and a thick cortex while the angiosperm stem has a small pith, a thick vascular cylinder and a thin cortex. All these facts indicate that the bennettitales cannot have been the ancestors of angiosperms.  

Pteridosperms theory :-

According to this theory, Preridosperms (Cycadofilicales) commonly known as seed ferns, a extinct group of paleozoic era,is supposed to be the ancestor of angiosperms. Andrew,1947; Arnold,1949; Thomas, 1955 and Cronqist 1968 supported this view.

This theory is based on the following similarities between the two groups, pteridosperms & angiosperms.

1) Seed habit is the common feature of the pteridospermales and angiosperms. 

2) Vascular histology, stellar structure and available fossil records also favor this theory. 

3) In both groups sporangial development is eusporangiate type. 

4) Amphiphloic siphonostele is also a common feature. 

5) Some primitive angiosperms show absence of vessels in their secondary wood also goes in favor of this theory.

Weakness of the theory-
It is not possible to explain the complex pteridosperm seed in terms of simple angiosperm ovule.
