	Macaronesia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Macaronesia, not to be confused with Micronesia, is a modern collective name for several groups of islands in the North Atlantic Ocean near Europe and North Africa belonging to three countries: Portugal, Spain, and Cape Verde.
		The islands of Macaronesia are volcanic in origin, and are thought to be the product of several geologic hotspots.
		The jumping spider genus Macaroeris is named after Macaronesia.

		Preliminary evidence suggests that adaptive radiation has been an important factor in the evolution of the subgenus within the islands.
		Monophyly of the subgeneric sections is not supported, suggesting that phylogenetic studies using additional molecular markers are needed to clarify sectional circumscription.

	Gomes
		The distance from the island of Faial (the one located closer to the geographical centre) to Europe is 1480 Kms and 1900 Kms to Newfoundland.
		These islands are part of the biogeographical region called Macaronesia, the Azores being the northernmost area.
		Since it is a situation that leads to the decay of the forest or even to its extinction, we came to the conclusion that it would be critical that we create the Botanic Garden of Faial, where we would cultivate and reproduce the plants of the Azores, especially those that are considered most at risk.

		The subgenus contains a wide array of life forms which are found in all ecological zones present in the Macaronesian archipelagos of Madeira and the Canary Islands.
		If incongruence between the two datasets is non-significant, we will conduct rigorous analyses on a combined dataset to test the hybridization hypothesis and to further characterize evolutionary patterns within Macaronesian Sideritis.

		Their isolation, environmental variability, and easily determined ages have aided biologists ever since Darwin in unraveling the forces behind evolutionary change.
		In addition, the analyses will provide data of relevance to conservation efforts for several rare species and contribute to the understanding of a theoretical process which threatens many organisms in isolated conditions, extinction via hybridization.

		Dendrocrambe (Brassicaceae) are endemic to the Macaronesian islands and are found in a variety of habitats.
		We are performing a cpDNA restriction site study to provide additional resolution and to have an independent molecular marker to test previous hypotheses of the evolution of Crambe in Macaronesia.
		Our preliminary cpDNA results are congruent with the previous ITS study and suggest that inter-island colonization and subsequent differentiation is the major pattern of evolution in this group.

		The woody genus Isoplexis was shown to be a recent derivative of continental herbaceous species of Digitalis.
		The study of the Madeiran Saxifraga provided molecular evidence for colonisation of Macaronesia from a likely Eurosiberian ancestor.

		Though there are only 43 confined breeding species, 21% are endemic species and subspecies to Madeira and 33% to Macaronesia.
		In this archipelago there are 4 ZPE's, which are: the Laurel forest, the central mountainous massif, the Desertas and Selvagens Islands and 8 IBA's, which are Ponta do Pargo, Laurel forest, central mountainous massif, Ponta de São Lourenço, Desertas, Selvagens, Western part of Porto Santo and Porto Santo islets.
		One of the most interesting features of birding in Madeira is the number of endemic subspecies (6 restricted to Madeira and 13 common to Macaronesia islands).

		For example, the Madeiran archipelago, the Ilhas Desertas and Selvagens, and the Canary Islands, have several breeding seabirds of great interest to birders along the east coast of North America: at a minimum Fea's (and if split, Zino's) Petrel, Bulwer's Petrel, Cory's Shearwater, Little Shearwater, Band-rumped Storm-Petrel, and White-faced Storm-Petrel.
