Abstract
Polylepis albicans Pilger (Rosaceae) is restricted to the Cordillera Blanca in Ancash and La Libertad, northwestern Peru. Here, we report the occurrence of a new population of the species in Huancavelica, central Peru. We analyzed its morphology and compared samples of the new record with samples collected from the Cordillera Blanca, where the main populations of the species are concentrated. We discuss the complex patterns of the geographic distribution P. albicans and the implications for its conservation.
期刊介绍：
Check List is a peer-reviewed online journal, devoted to publishing biodiversity data related to species’ geographic distribution. Thus, our primary mission if to fill the so-called Wallacean shortfall (Lomolino 2004) and to improve our knowledge of how life is distributed on the planet in order to better preserve it. These data are essential for studies on biogeography and provide a baseline for the conservation of biodiversity. The first step to undertaking effective conservation action is to maintain records of the distribution of species. Therefore, the journal was created from the need publish basic data on species distribution of any taxon in a timely and open manner, which are often neglected by traditional journals. Check List is a bimonthly peer-reviewed online journal, and will consider for publication: -distribution summaries of a supraspecific taxon in a broad geographic area (e.g., hemisphere, country, biome), as a review of the distribution of a taxon in the given area. -annotated list of species, of a given taxon in a strict geographic area, with comments and illustrations on the identifications, based on original data. -notes on the geographic distribution, reporting new records of one or more species while providing a complete overview on the known distribution of the treated taxa. -book reviews on books related to biodiversity, biogeography, niche modeling, or any associated field that uses species distribution as its primary data source. -opinions on relevant subjects for the journal’s mission and scope
