Christopher Ludwig Nancy E. Van Alstine Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation Division of Natural Heritage 203 Governor Street Richmond, Virginia 23219 for Northeast Region U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service One Gateway Center Newton Corner, Massachusetts 02158 Approved: ~ ~ ~4CsRegiona Director, ortheast Region U.S. Fish and Wil life Service Date: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SHALE BARREN ROCK CRESS RECOVERY PLAN Current Status: Thirty-four extant populations and one historical population are known for this species, which was listed as endangered in August 1989. The extant populations are located in six Virginia and three West Virginia counties; the historical population was located in an additional Virginia county. Nineteen populations occur within the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests; of these, 13 have been proposed for further administrative protection. One Virginia population is owned and protected by the Commonwealth, and the protection needs of a West Virginia population on U.S. Navy land are being studied under a 5-year cooperative agreement. No protection has been initiated for the populations on private land. In addition to its Federal listing, the species is listed as endangered in Virginia. Limiting Factors: Arabis serotina is jeopardized by drought, habitat degradation, stochastic events, herbivory, and other biotic factors. Since most of the extant populations have under 100 plants and many have fewer than ten individuals, the species may be vulnerable to local extirpation. Recovery Obiective: To remove Arabis serotina from the list of endangered and threatened species.

  • Wood Anatomy of Duhautia (Asteraceae: Madiinae) in Relation to Adaptive Radiation 1
    Pacific Science (1998), vol. 52, no. 4: 356-368 © 1998 by University of Hawai'i Press. All rights reserved Wood Anatomy of Duhautia (Asteraceae: Madiinae) in Relation to Adaptive Radiation 1 SHERWIN CARLQUIST2 ABSTRACT: Qualitative and quantitative features are reported for stem wood of 13 collections of 12 species of the Hawaiian genus Dubautia. Although the species share a basic wood plan, quantitative expressions range widely, espe­ cially with respect to vessel element dimensions, vessel density, vessel grouping, length of libriform fibers, and dimensions of multiseriate rays. Ecology and habit explain most of the diversity. Variations in the ratio between vessel ele­ ment length and libriform fiber length are correlated with habit both within Dubautia and when Dubautia is compared with Argyroxiphium and Wilkesia. Other variation in wood is related mostly to ecology. The Dubautia species of wet forest have high mesomorphy ratio values. Low mesomorphy ratio values occur in species of recent or dry lava (e.g., D. scabra) or dry alpine areas (D. menziesii); mesomorphy ratio values in the xeric species are comparable with those in Argyroxiphium. Highly xeromorphic wood in the bog species D. waia­ lealae may reflect recent immigration from a dry habitat or peculiar features of the bog habitat. The lianoid D. lati/olia has notably xeromorphic wood, which may reflect recent entry into wet forest or else the tendency for lianas in general to have xeromorphic features that confer conductive safety. All species of Dubautia show fiber dimorphism. Dubautia is a superb example of adaptive radiation, in contrast to the Hawaiian Schiedea (Caryophyllaceae), which has shifted into various habitats with little change in wood anatomy, or the Galapagos genus Scalesia, all species of which must survive periods of drought and have xeromorphic wood.

  • Manipulating Social Information to Promote Frugivory by Birds on a Hawaiian Island
    MANIPULATING SOCIAL INFORMATION TO PROMOTE FRUGIVORY BY BIRDS ON A HAWAIIAN ISLAND BY SEAN ERROLL MACDONALD THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2019 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Adjunct Assistant Professor Jinelle H. Sperry ABSTRACT Animals across a range of taxa use social information when foraging. Fruit-eating vertebrates are no exception and use social information to find fruit, which may ultimately affect plant populations via seed dispersal. In many systems, mutualistic relationships between fruiting plants and frugivores are critical to maintain ecosystem functioning, especially in the tropics. On the island of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, all native, fruit-eating birds are extinct and several plant species are experiencing reduced recruitment likely due to a lack of seed dispersal. Over the years, numerous bird species have been introduced to the island many of which are frugivorous. Yet, introduced birds may not recognize native fruits as a resource and social information may be needed for introduced frugivores to target and feed on native fruits. We investigated if social information, in the form of broadcasted bird vocalizations, of introduced birds could increase visitations and more importantly frugivory on focal fruiting plants. We also tested if the visitation rates to focal plants were influenced by conspecific and/or heterospecific vocalizations. We conducted 80 playback experiments at native and introduced fruiting plants, and compared responses to silent control periods. Four times as many frugivores were detected and 10 times more frugivory events were recorded at plants during periods of broadcast vocalizations compared to control periods.
