1 INTRODUCTION
Crop wild relatives (CWR) are those wild plant taxa more or less closely related to
species of direct socio-economic importance (Maxted et al., 2007). The best way of
conserving crop wild relatives is through the in situ conservation of its populations in
their natural habitats (Hawkes, 1991). Ex situ conservation approaches are limited
primarily due to the large numbers of species included as CWR and the difficulty of
collecting and conserving this vast array of species and their entire genetic diversity
(Maxted et al., 2008a). Therefore, in situ conservation seems to be the most efficient
way of maintaining not only viable CWR populations but also the potential of using
existing genetic diversity in those populations (Maxted et al., 1997), both main goals of
the CWR conservation.
For each target CWR taxon, it is recommended that a network of genetic reserves be
established throughout its distribution range to capture the genetic diversity of the
species under the different conditions of the environmental range (Iriondo and de Hond,
2008). Taking into account all the priority crops of a particular country or region (e.g.,
Europe), for each priority crop, several CWR species of interest could probably be
identified. Thus, the number of genetic reserves that should be established to implement
the in situ conservation of CWR in a territory rapidly becomes very large.
In this context, there is a need for an integrative perspective of the CWR in situ
conservation strategy that is not formulated by approaching the CWR of each crop
independently, but takes them all into account. This should allow reducing the number
of genetic reserves to be established in a network for this purpose and increasing the
efficiency of each genetic reserve.
2
One way of looking at this is through the concept of umbrella conservation where the
measures implemented to conserve a target taxon can be beneficial to conserve other
taxa that occur in the same plant community (Rowland et al., 2006). An umbrella
species is defined as a species whose conservation confers protection to a large number
of naturally co-occuring species (Roberge and Angelstam, 2004). Therefore, one
possible strategy of CWR in situ conservation would entail the identification of a
reduced set of target priority CWR and the designation of a network of genetic reserves
for them, and, subsequently, the assessment of the umbrella conservation effect that
these target priority taxa provide on other CWR.
Some obvious advantages of the umbrella conservation concept are related to the
reduction in the number of genetic reserves needed and their increase in conservation
efficiency, which in ultimate terms entails a lower economic cost of the operation.
Pressey et al. (1993) suggested that an efficient network of natural reserves is that
which protects the highest number of species in a reduced number of sites. Umbrella
species concept is analogous with such assert. It might be considered as a mechanism of
improving genetic reserves efficiency by protecting the highest number of CWR species
and their genetic diversity by using the least amount of resources.
Similarly, one can anticipate several limitations of this approach. For the umbrella
approach to be effective the conservation actions implemented for the focal species
must also be beneficial to the rest of CWR species that one intends to conserve.
Furthermore, the presence of the focal species and a potential increase in the number or
size of its populations should not negatively affect the viability of the populations of the
other CWR species that are aimed to be conserved. In other words, in order to benefit
multiple species through improvement of habitats for the umbrella species, an effective
umbrella species must represent the conservation needs of cohabitants (Rubinoff, 2001)
and its resource requirements must overlap with those of other targets of protection
(Rowland et al., 2006). If this is the case, conservation actions oriented to saving the
umbrella species will automatically save many other species (Simberloff, 1998).
In the face of limited time and resources and to help ensure biodiversity conservation
with minimal expenditures (Bifolchi and Lodé, 2005), umbrella species offers an
appealing shortcut to land mangers. Under the premise that it is often faster and less
expensive to sample a few species than it is to survey the entire assemblage (Fleishman
et al., 2001) the umbrella species concept has been proposed as a way to use species
requirements to guide ecosystem management (Roberge and Angelstam, 2004). Thus,
those management prescriptions appropriate for the umbrella species should also benefit
other targeted species (Rowland et al., 2006). This approach is supposed to be a cheaper
option but it might be very costly if the target taxon requires intensive active
management to maintain diversity (Maxted et al., 2008b). In practice, single-species
umbrellas cannot ensure the conservation of all co-occurring species because some
species are inevitably limited by ecological factors that are not relevant to the umbrella
species (Roberge and Angelstam, 2004). In fact an intensive management of an
umbrella species can be contradictory in terms of overall conservation because the rest
of the community to be protected may not benefit from such treatment (Simberloff,
1998).
In this report we focus on the CWR umbrella conservation concept approach.
Nevertheless, following the same rationale there are some other alternative approaches
3
that could also be considered to increase the efficiency of CWR genetic reserves. One of
them is to focus on the conservation of specific types of habitats where many relevant
CWR occur. Instead of having a target priority CWR taxon for the designation of the
genetic reserves, the designation process would be carried out taking into account all the
CWR species that occur in a particular habitat type and establishing a network of
genetic reserves oriented to conserve all CWRs that grow in such habitat. This would
involve a previous study where the different types of natural habitats where priority
CWR taxa occur would be clearly identified. This approach resembles the strategy
followed by the European Union to designate the Natura 2000 network starting from a
list of priority habitats listed in the EU Habitats and Species Directive (EEC, 1992). A
second alternative approach follows a simple geographic criterion to identify the areas
of a given territory that can be considered hot spots of priority CWR species. Here the
focus is on the identification of sites that hold a high richness of the CWR species of
interest that would be used for the establishment of genetic reserves. This approach,
using complementary criteria to include maximum CWR species richness in a minimum
number of sites, has been followed by Maxted et al. (2007) to identify candidate
locations for the establishment of CWR genetic reserves in the United Kingdom.
2 MATERIAL AND METHODS
Before taking a look at the methodology it is important to introduce the definitions of
some terms that will be used in the text:
- AEGRO target genera: these are the genera that have been selected in the
AEGRO project as model genera in which to implement the concept of
establishing genetic reserves in protected areas (Avena, Beta, Brassica and
Prunus).
- Priority species: species considered to have the greatest priority for breeding
purposes within the four AEGRO target genera.
- Focal species: priority species of the AEGRO taxa that is the reason for the
expert’s designation of a genetic reserve.
- Other AEGRO CWR taxa: non-priority CWR species that belong to the four
AEGRO target genera.
The purpose of this study was to assess the CWR species that co-occurred with the focal
species of each site selected for the establishmen of a genetic reserve and to evaluate the
potential of the “umbrella species” conservation approach. To compile the list of CWRs
existing in each protected area, several independent searches were carried out:
In the first place, the dataset of species presence data for the four genepools prioritized
by AEGRO (Avena, Beta, Brassica and Prunus) created in the context of this project
(http://aegro.bafz.de/index.php?id=168) was converted into vectorial (point) shapefiles
using ArcGIS© software and overlayed on a layer that contained the polygons of the
proposed sites for the establishment of genetic reserves. This allowed for the
identification of a) priority species of the four AEGRO target genera and b) non-priority
species of the four AEGRO target genera in each proposed site.
4
In a second approach, the EUNIS database was used to obtain additional information on
species co-occurring at each of the proposed sites. Thus, the “site search” application
was used at http://eunis.eea.europa.eu/ and the information contained in “Flora and
Fauna” section of the factsheet of the Natura 2000 dataset was used. The list of species
obtained was screened against the list of crop wild relatives for Europe (CWRIS)
generated in the PGR Forum project (http://www.pgrforum.org/cwris/cwris.asp) to
identify the species that are considered CWR.
In a third and last approach, contact was established (via email and fax) with the
managers of each of the protected areas proposed for the establishment of genetic
reserves, and we requested whether there was an inventory of flora for the site available.
Once again, the information received concerning the inventory of all wild plant species
was screened against the list of crop wild relatives for Europe to select only those
species that were CWRs.
To provide complementary information the GRIN (Germplasm Resources Information
Network) Taxonomy for Plants database (http://www.ars-grin.gov/) was consulted. The
aim was to gather a list of CWRs of economic food interest that would be more
restrictive than CWRIS (which also contemplates ornamental plants). At this point we
used this database to obtain a second list of CWR that were only of economic food
interest.
Finally, for each selected area we calculated:
- Number of priority CWR.
- Number of non-priority CWR within the four target AEGRO genera.
- Number of non-priority CWR
- Number of non-priority CWR of economic food interest
- Number of CWR inventoried in the protected areas
Once the lists of non-priority CWR were prepared for each site by taking into account
just those provided by EUNIS database, a process of matching the habitats of these
species with those of the focal species was carried out. To achieve this, each species
was assigned a two-digit EUNIS habitat type, using the “species search” application at
http://eunis.eea.europa.eu/ and the information contained in the “Habitat types” section
of the database. When the species was not available in the database the habitat type was
inferred from searches in the scientific literature.

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
An essential step of umbrella conservation assessments is to identify the number of
naturally co-occuring species at the same place or, even better, the same habitat type of
the focal species. Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.5, 6, 7 and 8,
placed at the end of the document due to their great length, provide detailed information
on the CWR taxa that have been found in co-occurrence with the focal species at each
of the protected areas of the Natura 2000 Network proposed for the establishment of
genetic reserves of Beta, Avena, Prunus and Brassica genera, respectively. Results
shown are provided based on the AEGRO-CWRIS-PLIS database for the species
belonging to the four priority genera and on the EUNIS database for the rest.
The information requested directly to the managers of the selected protected areas
provided mixed results (Table 1). Requests sent by email proved to be much more
effective than those sent by fax. Thus, a high percent of replies (52 %) were received
when the request was performed by email in comparison to the 7 % of replies received
when the request was made by fax.

About one third of the replies received indicated that they did not have an inventory of
flora for the protected area. Some of them expressed that the inventory was currently
being carried out. From the 18 replies that provided the requested information, a
significant number of them did not come from the protected area managers but from
scientists working in universities or research institutions that were conducting research
in the area. One direct conclusion from these results is that the knowledge about the
plant species occurring at each of the sites of the Natura 2000 Network is currently low
and that few sites have conducted a full inventory of their flora.
Table 2 provides a summarized account on the number of CWR species occurring at
each selected site, identifying the number of AEGRO prioritized CWR species of
Avena, Beta, Brassica and Prunus, the number of non-prioritized CWR species of the
same genera and the number of CWR species belonging to other genera. Additionally,
this table provides the total number of CWR genera occurring at each site and the
6
number of CWR genera that are related to food crops. Finally, in those cases where the
inventory of plants of the site was available, the number of CWR species present is also
recorded. There is great heterogeneity in the number and type of co-occurring CWR
taxa identified in each of the selected sites. It is worthy to note that the information on
plant species provided for the Natura 2000 sites in the EUNIS database is not meant to
be exhaustive but only pretends to list “important”plant species that are relevant from a
conservation viewpoint. As it can be observed both in Tables 2 and 3, the protected
areas selected for Beta species were the ones that contained the greatest number of
CWR of interest in all categories (AEGRO priority species, non-priority species of the
four AEGRO genera, all CWR species, all CWR genera and CWR genera of food
crops). This could be interpreted in the sense that the protected areas selected for Beta
species are more likely to have other CWR species of conservation interest than those
selected for Avena, Brassica and Prunus. On the other hand, no CWR of interest were
identified in any of the protected areas selected for Prunus. These results indicate that
not all focal species have a similar value in terms of their potential to become umbrella
species. It is worthy to note that the search for important CWR species in the EUNIS
database showed evidence of a heterogeneous effort in the way the table of Flora and
Fauna had been completed by the different protected area managers. Thus, this fact
tends to blur the real differences in richness of CWR species relevant for conservation at
each protected area. For those protected areas that provided an inventory of flora or
direct information on CWR, the number of reported CWR varied greatly (from 1 to
223). Once again the sites with the largest number of inventoried CWR corresponded to
those selected for Beta focal species. Therefore, in spite of the existing limitations with
data heterogeneity, this seems to reinforce the idea that the Beta species have greater
potential as umbrella species than those of Avena, Brassica or Prunus.
The importance of food crops for humans was the main reason to calculate number of
CWRs of economic food interest occurring at each protected area. The percentage of
CWRs that were of food interest varied from 0 to 100% depending on the selected site.
In general terms, the mean value was around 30 %.

It should be noted that all the results provided so far relate to the number of CWR
occurring at the protected area and that there are significant differences in size between
the protected areas considered. Thus, this is yet another factor to take into account when
considering the potential of the different focal species to act as umbrella species.
Moreover, effectiveness of the umbrella species approach relies on the existence of a
significant overlap between habitat requirements of the umbrella and sympatric species
(Ozaki et al., 2005). Having no in situ studies performed about this issue in the selected
protected areas and taking into account the scarce information available on this matter,
Fehler! Ungültiger Eigenverweis auf Textmarke.4 summarizes a first approach to
assessing habitat coincidences between Beta and Avena focal species and all the
identified co-occurring CWRs for all of their corresponding protected areas. For
Brassica and Prunus it was not possible to carry out this study due to the lack of
appropriate information.

Note that the habitat coincidences have been obtained considering the habitat
distribution range along Europe of both focal and co-occurring CWR species. In general
terms, focal species had habitat overlap with 10% or less of the CWR of conservation
interest identified in the protected area. However, this percentage rose to near 30% in
the case of Beta vulgaris subsp. maritima and Beta patula. Once again, considering
habitat overlap in this case, Beta species appeared to be better placed as potential
umbrella species than Avena species, both in absolute and relative terms.
4 CONCLUSIONS
In this study we are considering for the first time the possibility of selecting focal CWR
species for the establishment of genetic reserves that could act as umbrella species for
other CWR of conservation interest.
The first conclusion of this study is to acknowledge that the current state of knowledge
on the inventory of plants existing in the protected areas of the Natura 2000 Network is
12
poor. Moreover, the lists of plant species of conservation interest contained in the
EUNIS database is very heterogeneous and have been much better prepared in some
sites than in others.
In spite of data quantity and quality limitations, we have obtained relevant differences in
the number of co-occurring CWR of conservation interest depending on the nature of
the focal species. Thus, from the four studied genera (Avena, Beta, Brassica and
Prunus), species belonging to Beta, and, specifically, Beta vulgaris subsp. maritima and
Beta nana seem to have the greatest potential as umbrella species.
To be able to make an accurate assessment of the potential use of focal species as
umbrella species for other CWR taxa, the number of co-occurring CWR species should
be estimated at the habitat level and not at the protected areas level. Data availability at
the habitat level within each protected area is nowadays inexistent for most or all the
protected areas. Therefore, future advances in the assessment of the umbrella species
approach will require in situ data collection at each of the protected areas where the
establishment of genetic reserves is envisaged.
The assessment of the umbrella species approach for the conservation of CWR species
should take into account the quality of CWR species in addition to their richness in a
particular habitat (Roberge and Angelstam, 2004). In this sense, we have used as valid
quality criteria a) relevance of the species for conservation purposes as considered by
the EUNIS database (e.g., presence in National Red Lists or international conventions
(Bern, Habitats Directive, ...), endemicity,...) and b) CWRs related to food crops.
Additional criteria could be taken into consideration provided there is data available to
apply them, such as, CWR species known to have particular traits of interest for
breeding, or common CWR species known to have experienced severe genetic erosion).
Management requirements for the conservation of focal species in their genetic reserves
should also be taken into consideration when assessing the value of focal species as
umbrella species. Thus, it should be evaluated whether the actions for protecting the
focal species will also be beneficial for the conservation of the sympatric CWRs co-
occurring in the same habitat. Therfore, the active management operations purposed for
the umbrella species (monitoring, restitutions, habitat restoration, etc.) would be a key
point in defining the effectiveness of the umbrella conservation approach. As needs of
the CWR species co-existing in a particular habitat could be very different the
prescribed management operations should aim at protecting the focal species, while, at
least, not damaging the viability of the populations of the other CWR species.
Finally, as all these considerations are being made in the framework of establishing
CWR genetic reserves within protected areas, it is essential that the general and
particular management practices prescribed for the protected area are compatible with
the prescriptions and needs of the genetic reserve. Thus, adequate coordination between
the activities carried out at these different geographical scales is needed.
