Preface The history and development of the longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) ecosystem in the south- eastern United States has intrigued natural resource professionals, researchers, and the general public for many decades. Prior to European settlement, longleaf pine forests were one of the most extensive ecosystems in North America. Most recent estimates suggest that only about 2.2% of the original area remains today, making it one of the most threatened ecosystems in North America. The reduction in land area of the longleaf pine ecosystem has been attributed to a number of factors, including: (i) extensive harvesting in the early 1900s that significantly reduced growing stock levels; (ii) an inadequate understanding of the biophysical factors influencing regeneration dynamics such as seeding habits and fire management; (iii) general intolerance of longleaf pine to shade and understory competition; and (iv) conversion of longleaf pine sites to other commercially important species such as loblolly (P. taeda L.) and slash pine (P. elliottii Engelm.) Over the last decade, considerable interest has grown in conserving and restoring the lon- gleaf pine ecosystem. For example, it provides habitat for a wide variety of wildlife species in- cluding

  • Evaluating the Adaptive Evolutionary Convergence of Carnivorous Plant Taxa Through Functional Genomics
    Evaluating the adaptive evolutionary convergence of carnivorous plant taxa through functional genomics Gregory L. Wheeler and Bryan C. Carstens Department of Evolution, Ecology, & Organismal Biology, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, United States of America ABSTRACT Carnivorous plants are striking examples of evolutionary convergence, displaying complex and often highly similar adaptations despite lack of shared ancestry. Using available carnivorous plant genomes along with non-carnivorous reference taxa, this study examines the convergence of functional overrepresentation of genes previously implicated in plant carnivory. Gene Ontology (GO) coding was used to quantitatively score functional representation in these taxa, in terms of proportion of carnivory- associated functions relative to all functional sequence. Statistical analysis revealed that, in carnivorous plants as a group, only two of the 24 functions tested showed a signal of substantial overrepresentation. However, when the four carnivorous taxa were analyzed individually, 11 functions were found to be significant in at least one taxon. Though carnivorous plants collectively may show overrepresentation in functions from the predicted set, the specific functions that are overrepresented vary substantially from taxon to taxon. While it is possible that some functions serve a similar practical purpose such that one taxon does not need to utilize both to achieve the same result, it appears that there are multiple approaches for the evolution of carnivorous function in plant genomes. Our approach could be applied to tests of functional convergence in other systems provided on the availability of genomes and annotation data for a group.

  • Carnivorous Plant Responses to Resource Availability
    Carnivorous plant responses to resource availability: environmental interactions, morphology and biochemistry Christopher R. Hatcher A doctoral thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University November 2019 © by Christopher R. Hatcher (2019) Abstract Understanding how organisms respond to resources available in the environment is a fundamental goal of ecology. Resource availability controls ecological processes at all levels of organisation, from molecular characteristics of individuals to community and biosphere. Climate change and other anthropogenically driven factors are altering environmental resource availability, and likely affects ecology at all levels of organisation. It is critical, therefore, to understand the ecological impact of environmental variation at a range of spatial and temporal scales. Consequently, I bring physiological, ecological, biochemical and evolutionary research together to determine how plants respond to resource availability. In this thesis I have measured the effects of resource availability on phenotypic plasticity, intraspecific trait variation and metabolic responses of carnivorous sundew plants. Carnivorous plants are interesting model systems for a range of evolutionary and ecological questions because of their specific adaptations to attaining nutrients. They can, therefore, provide interesting perspectives on existing questions, in this case trait-environment interactions, plant strategies and plant responses to predicted future environmental scenarios. In a manipulative experiment, I measured the phenotypic plasticity of naturally shaded Drosera rotundifolia in response to disturbance mediated changes in light availability over successive growing seasons. Following selective disturbance, D. rotundifolia became more carnivorous by increasing the number of trichomes and trichome density. These plants derived more N from prey and flowered earlier.

  • Niche Partitioning in Sympatric Sarracenia Species at Splinter Hill Bog Preserve, Baldwin County, Alabama
    Technical Refereed Contribution Niche partitioning in sympatric Sarracenia species at Splinter Hill Bog Preserve, Baldwin County, Alabama Jacquelyn S. Howell • Department of Biology • University of South Alabama • Mobile • Alabama • USA Ashley B. Morris • Department of Biology • Middle Tennessee State University • Murfreesboro • Tennessee • USA • [email protected] Keywords: Ecology, Sarracenia, Splinter Hill Bog Preserve, Alabama. Abstract: With anthropogenic influences limiting and fractioning wetlands, it is imperative to understand niche partitioning in keystone species. Sarracenia (Sarraceniaceae), a genus of car- nivorous plants, are ecologically important species found in wetlands along the eastern coast of the United States. Species diversity of this genus is highest in the southeast, particularly along the Gulf Coast where they are found primarily in longleaf pine savannas. This study aims to identify underlying causes driving niche partitioning, specifically exploring water table elevation and soil type as potential sources. Splinter Hill Bog Preserve, located in northeastern Baldwin County, Alabama, served as the study site for this work. Findings indicated small, but significant cor- relations between soil type and species distribution, as well as between soil type and water table elevation. Introduction Niche partitioning has been informally documented in sympatric species of North American pitcher plants, Sarracenia (Sarraceniaceae), over the last several decades. Niche partitioning is the process by which natural selection acts upon organisms and allows closely related species to inhabit different environments or microenvironments. Although many reports allude to obvious habitat dif- ferences (shade, soil moisture, etc.) to explain distribution of species in sympatric Sarracenia popu- lations (McDaniel 1966; Gibson 1983; Schnell 2002; Mellichamp 2009), few empirical studies have evaluated the underlying factors driving niche partitioning among species.

Gann, Executive Director Submitted to CarolAnn Sharkey Key West Botanical Garden 5210 College Road Key West, Florida 33040 and Kate Marks Heritage Preservation 1012 14th Street, NW, Suite 1200 Washington DC 20005 Introduction The Key West Botanical Garden (KWBG) is located at 5210 College Road on Stock Island, Monroe County, Florida. It is a 7.5 acre conservation area, owned by the City of Key West. The KWBG requested that The Institute for Regional Conservation (IRC) conduct a floristic evaluation of its natural areas and grounds and to provide recommendations. Study Design On August 9-10, 2005 an inventory of all vascular plants was conducted at the KWBG. All areas of the KWBG were visited, including the newly acquired property to the south. Special attention was paid toward the remnant natural habitats. A preliminary plant list was established. Plant taxonomy generally follows Wunderlin (1998) and Bailey et al. (1976). Results Five distinct habitats were recorded for the KWBG. Two of which are human altered and are artificial being classified as developed upland and modified wetland. In addition, three natural habitats are found at the KWBG. They are coastal berm (here termed buttonwood hammock), rockland hammock, and tidal swamp habitats. Developed and Modified Habitats Garden and Developed Upland Areas The developed upland portions include the maintained garden areas as well as the cleared parking areas, building edges, and paths.
