... Thirty records of pathogens were found when searching the Systematic Mycology and Microbiology Laboratory Literature Database for the genus Butia (Farr and Rossman, 2014). In Brazil, Coccostroma palmicola (Coccostromopsis palmicola) (Capted et al., 2010) and Mycosphaerella advena were found in Butia sp., and Periconia sp. and Trabutia sp. in B. leiospatha. In Florida, United States, Alternaria sp. ...

Over the past three decades, a wealth of studies has shown that palm trees (Arecaceae) are a diverse habitat with intense fungal colonisation, making them an important substratum to explore fungal diversity. Palm trees are perennial, monocotyledonous plants mainly restricted to the tropics that include economically important crops and highly valued ornamental plants worldwide. The extensive research conducted in Southeast Asia and Australasia indicates that palm fungi are undoubtedly a taxonomically diverse assemblage from which a remarkable number of new species is continuously being reported. Despite this wealth of data, no recent comprehensive review on palm fungi exists to date. In this regard, we present here a historical account and discussion of the research on the palm fungi to reflect on their importance as a diverse and understudied assemblage. The taxonomic structure of palm fungi is also outlined, along with comments on the need for further studies to place them within modern DNA sequence-based classifications. Palm trees can be considered model plants for studying fungal biodiversity and, therefore, the key role of palm fungi in biodiversity surveys is discussed. The close association and intrinsic relationship between palm hosts and palm fungi, coupled with a high fungal diversity, suggest that the diversity of palm fungi is still far from being fully understood. The figures suggested in the literature for the diversity of palm fungi have been revisited and updated here. As a result, it is estimated that there are about 76,000 species of palm fungi worldwide, of which more than 2500 are currently known. This review emphasises that research on palm fungi may provide answers to a number of current fungal biodiversity challenges.

Eight new records of Ascomycetes anamorphs from Argentina are cited from woody fallen parts of three native palm trees in two National Parks. All of them are listed for the first for the country and some of them on these substrates too. The anamorphs mentioned are: Endocalyx cinctus, Gliomastix luzulae, Virgaria nigra; Gliomastix novae-zelandiae, Helicoma dennisii, Helicomyces colligatus, Spinulospora pucciniiphila and Vanakripa fascista. The last five species are first recorded on this substrate.

Resumen El sistema ribereño Paraguay-Paraná es un corredor natural de 3.400 km de largo, entre 16 y 34º de latitud sur, a través de ecosistemas muy diferentes (selva tropical lluviosa, sabanas, estepas y arbustales). En esta contribución se postula que todos los paisajes en cada tramo del río son unidades ecológicas interconectadas por flujos horizontales de información (nutrientes, sedimen-tos, semillas, huevos) y que el mantenimiento de estos flujos es condición ne-cesaria para la estabilidad del río. El desarrollo sostenible del sistema debería tener como unidad de análisis al río, con su función de corredor a lo largo de los ecosistemas de la cuenca. El desarrollo debería ser entendido como proceso que reconcilia la capacidad de carga del sistema y el uso de los recursos, mediante una estrategia de ajus-te permanente en la cual todos los actores sociales involucrados intervengan responsablemente.

Thirteen ascomycetes are reported from Argentina from fallen woody parts of three palms in two national parks. Berkleasmium corticola, B. sinense, Brachysporiella gayana, Dictyosporium cocophylum, D. zeylanicum, Endocalyx melanoxanthus var. melanoxanthus, Ernakulamia cochinensis, Musicillium theobromae, Sporidesmium macrurum, and Stachylidium bicolor are new records for Argentina. Melanochaeta hemipsila is reported for the first time as a teleomorph in this country.
