0123663BerryThis Americas Program award will support Dr. Paul E. Berry of the University of Wisconsin Madison in collaboration with Dr. George J. Shepherd and Dr. Maria de Carmo Amaral, both of the Instituto de Biologia (UNICAMP). The aim of this project is to initiate the revaluation of Martius' great work and explore the feasibility of presenting Flora Brasiliensis in facsimile form on the World Wide Web, including corrections for the now outdated taxonomy. The following steps will be taken: (1) Develop a pilot Web page, (2) Evaluate the cost of digitizing and indexing images only, (3) Contact and recruit active systematists worldwide to update the taxonomy and nomenclature of the published treatments in the Flora, (4) Use the concept of this project as a springboard to help produce new regional and national floristic treatments in Brazil and neighboring areas. The long-term goal is to develop a complete Neotropical checklist of vascular plants and contribute more fully towards floristic treatments within tropical South America. This project will build strong and lasting international ties between key institutions involved in plant diversity efforts as well as strengthen international ties between systematic biologists and discourage isolationist tendencies in individual countries where the greatest biodiversity is found.

0123663Berry 该美洲计划奖将支持威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的 Paul E. Berry 博士与生物学研究所 (UNICAMP) 的 George J. Shepherd 博士和 Maria de Carmo Amaral 博士合作。 该项目的目的是重新评估 Martius 的伟大工作，并探索在万维网上以传真形式呈现巴西植物志的可行性，包括对现已过时的分类法的更正。 将采取以下步骤：（1）开发一个试点网页，（2）评估仅数字化和索引图像的成本，（3）联系并招募世界各地活跃的系统学家，以更新已发表治疗方法的分类和命名法Flora，(4) 使用该项目的概念作为跳板，帮助巴西及邻近地区生产新的区域和国家花卉处理方法。 长期目标是制定完整的新热带维管植物清单，并为南美洲热带地区的植物区系治疗做出更充分的贡献。 该项目将在参与植物多样性工作的主要机构之间建立牢固而持久的国际联系，并加强系统生物学家之间的国际联系，并阻止生物多样性最丰富的各个国家的孤立主义倾向。
