Lehman Caves Management Plan
National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Great Basin National Park Lehman Caves Management Plan June 2019 ON THE COVER Photograph of visitors on tour of Lehman Caves NPS Photo ON THIS PAGE Photograph of cave shields, Grand Palace, Lehman Caves NPS Photo Shields in the Grand Palace, Lehman Caves. Lehman Caves Management Plan Great Basin National Park Baker, Nevada June 2019 Approved by: James Woolsey, Superintendent Date Executive Summary The Lehman Caves Management Plan (LCMP) guides management for Lehman Caves, located within Great Basin National Park (GRBA). The primary goal of the Lehman Caves Management Plan is to manage the cave in a manner that will preserve and protect cave resources and processes while allowing for respectful recreation and scientific use. More specifically, the intent of this plan is to manage Lehman Caves to maintain its geological, scenic, educational, cultural, biological, hydrological, paleontological, and recreational resources in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and current guidelines such as the Federal Cave Resource Protection Act and National Park Service Management Policies. Section 1.0 provides an introduction and background to the park and pertinent laws and regulations. Section 2.0 goes into detail of the natural and cultural history of Lehman Caves. This history includes how infrastructure was built up in the cave to allow visitors to enter and tour, as well as visitation numbers from the 1920s to present. Section 3.0 states the management direction and objectives for Lehman Caves. Section 4.0 covers how the Management Plan will meet each of the objectives in Section 3.0. -

Despite their low species numbers, hornworts represent a key group for understanding the evolution of plant form because the best–sampled current phylogenies place them as sister to the tracheophytes. Despite their low taxonomic diversity, the group has not been monographed worldwide. There are few well-documented hornwort floras for temperate or tropical areas. Moreover, no species level phylogenies or population studies are available for hornworts. Here we aim at filling some important gaps in hornwort biology and biodiversity. We provide estimates of hornwort species richness worldwide, identifying centers of diversity. We also present two examples of the impact of recent work in elucidating the composition and circumscription of the genera Megaceros and Nothoceros. -

Fossil Mosses: What Do They Tell Us About Moss Evolution?

The incomplete preservation and lack of key characters that could define the position of an ancient moss in modern classification remain the problem. Carboniferous records are still impossible to refer to any of the modern moss taxa. Numerous Permian protosphagnalean mosses possess traits that are absent in any extant group and they are therefore treated here as an extinct lineage, whose descendants, if any remain, cannot be recognized among contemporary taxa. Non-protosphagnalean Permian mosses were also fairly diverse, representing morphotypes comparable with Dicranidae and acrocarpous Bryidae, although unequivocal representatives of these subclasses are known only since Cretaceous and Jurassic. Even though Sphagnales is one of two oldest lineages separated from the main trunk of moss phylogenetic tree, it appears in fossil state regularly only since Late Cretaceous, ca. -

Globally Widespread Bryophytes, but Rare in Europe
Portugaliae Acta Biol. 20: 11-24. Lisboa, 2002 GLOBALLY WIDESPREAD BRYOPHYTES, BUT RARE IN EUROPE Tomas Hallingbäck Swedish Threatened Species Unit, P.O. Box 7007, SE-75007 Uppsala, Sweden. [email protected] Hallingbäck, T. (2002). Globally widespread bryophytes, but rare in Europe. Portugaliae Acta Biol. 20: 11-24. The need to save not only globally threatened species, but also regionally rare and declining species in Europe is discussed. One rationale of red-listing species regionally is to be preventive and to counteract the local species extinction process. There is also a value in conserving populations at the edge of their geographical range and this is discussed in terms of genetic variation. Another reason is the political willingness of acting locally rather than globally. Among the rare and non-endemic species in Europe, some are rare and threatened both in Europe and elsewhere, others are more common outside Europe and a third group is locally common within Europe but rare in the major part. How much conservation effort should be put on these three European non-endemic species groups is briefly discussed, as well as why bryophytes are threatened. A discussion is given, for example, of how a smaller total distribution range, decreasing density of localities, smaller sites, less substrate and lower habitat quality affect the survival of sensitive species. This is also compared with species that have either high or low dispersal capacity or different longevity of either vegetative parts or spores. Examples from Sweden are given. Key words: Bryophytes, rarity, Europe, dispersal capacity, Sweden. Hallingbäck, T. (2002). -

Distributional patterns were 21 analysed using a geographic information system. Biogeographic patterns were determined 22 with a variety of multivariate statistics. 23 24 Results Plants have been recorded from throughout the Antarctic including all latitudes 25 between 60°S and 86°S. Species richness declines with latitude along the Antarctic 26 Peninsula, but there was no evidence for a similar cline in Victoria Land and the 27 Transantarctic mountains. MDS ordinations showed that the species composition of the 28 South Orkney, South Shetland Islands and the north western Antarctic Peninsula are very 29 similar to each other, as are the floras of different regions in continental Antarctica. However 30 they also suggest that the eastern Antarctic Peninsula flora is more similar to the flora of the 31 southern Antarctic Peninsula than to the continental flora (with which it has traditionally been 32 linked). -

Lily Roberta Lewis, PhD University of Connecticut, 2015 Many plants have geographic disjunctions, with one of the more rare, yet extreme being the amphitropical, or bipolar disjunction. Bryophytes (namely mosses and liverworts) exhibit this pattern more frequently relative to other groups of plants and typically at or below the level of species. The processes that have shaped the amphitropical disjunction have been infrequently investigated, with notably a near absence of studies focusing on mosses. This dissertation explores the amphitropical disjunction in the dung moss Tetraplodon, with a special emphasis on the origin of the southernmost South American endemic T. fuegianus. Chapter 1 delimits three major lineages within Tetraplodon with distinct yet overlapping geographic ranges, including an amphitropical lineage containing the southernmost South American endemic T. fuegianus. Based on molecular divergence date estimation and phylogenetic topology, the American amphitropical disjunction is traced to a single direct long-distance dispersal event across the tropics. Chapter 2 provides the first evidence supporting the role of migratory shore birds in dispersing bryophytes, as well as other plant, fungal, and algal diaspores across the tropics. -
