  • Insect Survey of Four Longleaf Pine Preserves
    A SURVEY OF THE MOTHS, BUTTERFLIES, AND GRASSHOPPERS OF FOUR NATURE CONSERVANCY PRESERVES IN SOUTHEASTERN NORTH CAROLINA Stephen P. Hall and Dale F. Schweitzer November 15, 1993 ABSTRACT Moths, butterflies, and grasshoppers were surveyed within four longleaf pine preserves owned by the North Carolina Nature Conservancy during the growing season of 1991 and 1992. Over 7,000 specimens (either collected or seen in the field) were identified, representing 512 different species and 28 families. Forty-one of these we consider to be distinctive of the two fire- maintained communities principally under investigation, the longleaf pine savannas and flatwoods. An additional 14 species we consider distinctive of the pocosins that occur in close association with the savannas and flatwoods. Twenty nine species appear to be rare enough to be included on the list of elements monitored by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (eight others in this category have been reported from one of these sites, the Green Swamp, but were not observed in this study). Two of the moths collected, Spartiniphaga carterae and Agrotis buchholzi, are currently candidates for federal listing as Threatened or Endangered species. Another species, Hemipachnobia s. subporphyrea, appears to be endemic to North Carolina and should also be considered for federal candidate status. With few exceptions, even the species that seem to be most closely associated with savannas and flatwoods show few direct defenses against fire, the primary force responsible for maintaining these communities. Instead, the majority of these insects probably survive within this region due to their ability to rapidly re-colonize recently burned areas from small, well-dispersed refugia.

The yellow coloured mous and non-diclinous species, respectively. The visual anthers and pollen and the similarly coloured flower guides similarity between the androecium and other floral organs are described as key features of a pollen and stamen is attributed to mimicry, i.e. deception caused by the flower mimicry system. In this study, we investigated the entire visitor’s inability to discriminate between model and angiosperm flora of the Alps with regard to visually dis- mimic, sensory exploitation, and signal standardisation played pollen and floral guides. All species were checked among floral morphs, flowering phases, and co-flowering for the presence of pollen- and stamen-imitating structures species. We critically discuss deviant pollen and stamen using colour photographs. Most flowering plants of the mimicry concepts and evaluate the frequent evolution of Alps display yellow pollen and at least 28% of the species pollen-imitating structures in view of the conflicting use of display pollen- or stamen-imitating structures. The most pollen for pollination in flowering plants and provision of frequent types of pollen and stamen imitations were pollen for offspring in bees.

'(\.c ~ O . ·I!\·JV\.~ -t,u.,)­ Regional Director, Midwest Region, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Date: DISCLAIMER Recovery plans delineate reasonable actions that are believed to be required to recover and/or protect listed species. Plans published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) are sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and other affected and interested parties. Plan objectives and funds are subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery plans do not obligate other parties to undertake specific tasks and may not represent the views nor the official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than the Service. They represent the official position of the Service only after they have been signed by the Regional Director. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks. By approving this document, the Regional Director certifies that data used in its development represent the best scientific and commercial data available at the time of writing. Copies of all documents reviewed in development of the plan are available in the administrative record, located at the East Lansing Field Office, Michigan.

  • Lesson 3 RECOGNISING PLANT FAMILIES and IDENTIFYING PLANTS Aim Distinguish Between Different Plant Families and to Become Profi
    Lesson 3 RECOGNISING PLANT FAMILIES AND IDENTIFYING PLANTS Aim Distinguish between different plant families and to become proficient at identifying plants. The best way to build your ability to identify plants is by working with or handling a variety of different plants on a daily basis. The first ten plant names you learn are always much more difficult than the next ninety. Similarly, the first 100 names are always much more difficult than the next 900. If you plan to be a skilled gardener, landscape designer, or horticulturist: you need to learn to identify hundreds of different plants. As you have seen earlier; there is a system in identifying plant names. BECOME FAMILIAR WITH PLANT FAMILIES If you can get to know the way the system works, and the broad categories, the whole thing starts to make a great deal more sense. Each new name you confront is able to be associated with things and remembered more easily. FOR EXAMPLE: “When I see a plant with a daisy flower, I immediately know that it is in the Asteraceae family. Even if the genus is new to me, I will be more likely to remember it because I’m not only thinking: This is the genus of this new plant , but I am also thinking: This new genus is in the Asteraceae family. In essence, my brain is registering two pieces of information instead of one and that doubles the likelihood of me remembering the plant. BECOME FAMILIAR WITH LATIN Plant naming is based on the ancient Roman language of Latin.
