Rare and Extirpated Biota and Natural Communities of Kentucky Rare and Extirpated Biota and Natural Communities of Kentucky December 2010 Abstract The Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission has updated and revised the lists of rare and extinct or extirpated biota last published in 2000 and updated in 2001, 2004 and 2005 based on a standard methodology now utilized by NatureServe. Natural communities have been included in this update. The newly revised lists include one lichen, 387 vascular plant and lesser taxa, 346 animal taxa, and 36 natural communities considered rare (Table 1). Nineteen plant and 47 animal taxa are considered extirpated or extinct from Kentucky (Table 2).

  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

  • Cereal Rust Bulletin Mailing List Next Season, Please Return the Enclosed Card by September 1, 1984
    CEREAL RUST Report No: 1 BULLETIN April 17, 1984 From: Issued By: CEREAL RUST LABORATORY AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH SERVICE U, S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA, ST. PAUL 55108 (In cooperation with the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station) The cold winter and cool spring weather has slowed development of small grains to 1-2 weeks behind normal across the southern United States. In most of this region, moisture has been adequate but in south Texas the crop is under moisture stress. In the central and northern U.S. wheat growing areas, the winter was cold with spotty snow cover. In southern Nebraska and ~orthern Kansas, winter k i 11 i ng was more severe than normal due to the lack of snow cover. In the central plains, spring seeding of oats and barley is in full swing. In the northern plains, the initial planting of spring grains started but was delayed by rains. Warm drying weather should soon result in the resumption of planting. Wheat stem rust--In 1984, the first wheat stem rust was observed in McNair 701 disease detection plots at Victoria and Uvalde, Texas, experiment stations on April 7. At the Victoria site, the rust overwintered and with the increase in spring temperatures the rust increased to the point where it killed the plants. In the Uvalde plots, the rust infection was approximately three weeks old. Scattered pustules developed from spores that were deposited with rainfall. These spores probably originated some distance from the plot. These are the only reports of wheat stem rust in the United States at the present time.

Sigel , 1 , 3 Michael D. Windham , 1 Layne Huiet , 1 George Yatskievych , 2 and Kathleen M. Pryer 1 1 Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27708 U. S. A. 2 Missouri Botanical Garden, P.O. Box 299, St. Louis, Missouri 63166 U. S. A. 3 Author for correspondence ( [email protected] ) Communicating Editor: Lynn Bohs Abstract— Convergent evolution driven by adaptation to arid habitats has made it difficult to identify monophyletic taxa in the cheilanthoid ferns. Dependence on distinctive, but potentially homoplastic characters, to define major clades has resulted in a taxonomic conundrum: all of the largest cheilanthoid genera have been shown to be polyphyletic. Here we reconstruct the first comprehensive phylogeny of the strictly New World cheilanthoid genus Argyrochosma . We use our reconstruction to examine the evolution of farina (powdery leaf deposits), which has played a prominent role in the circumscription of cheilanthoid genera. Our data indicate that Argyrochosma comprises two major monophyletic groups: one exclusively non-farinose and the other primarily farinose. Within the latter group, there has been at least one evolutionary reversal (loss) of farina and the development of major chemical variants that characterize specific clades. Our phylogenetic hypothesis, in combination with spore data and chromosome counts, also provides a critical context for addressing the prevalence of polyploidy and apomixis within the genus. Evidence from these datasets provides testable hypotheses regarding reticulate evolution and suggests the presence of several previ- ously undetected taxa of Argyrochosma.

  • Molecular Phylogeny of Chinese Thuidiaceae with Emphasis on Thuidium and Pelekium
    Molecular Phylogeny of Chinese Thuidiaceae with emphasis on Thuidium and Pelekium QI-YING, CAI1, 2, BI-CAI, GUAN2, GANG, GE2, YAN-MING, FANG 1 1 College of Biology and the Environment, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China. 2 College of Life Science, Nanchang University, 330031 Nanchang, China. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract We present molecular phylogenetic investigation of Thuidiaceae, especially on Thudium and Pelekium. Three chloroplast sequences (trnL-F, rps4, and atpB-rbcL) and one nuclear sequence (ITS) were analyzed. Data partitions were analyzed separately and in combination by employing MP (maximum parsimony) and Bayesian methods. The influence of data conflict in combined analyses was further explored by two methods: the incongruence length difference (ILD) test and the partition addition bootstrap alteration approach (PABA). Based on the results, ITS 1& 2 had crucial effect in phylogenetic reconstruction in this study, and more chloroplast sequences should be combinated into the analyses since their stability for reconstructing within genus of pleurocarpous mosses. We supported that Helodiaceae including Actinothuidium, Bryochenea, and Helodium still attributed to Thuidiaceae, and the monophyletic Thuidiaceae s. lat. should also include several genera (or species) from Leskeaceae such as Haplocladium and Leskea. In the Thuidiaceae, Thuidium and Pelekium were resolved as two monophyletic groups separately. The results from molecular phylogeny were supported by the crucial morphological characters in Thuidiaceae s. lat., Thuidium and Pelekium. Key words: Thuidiaceae, Thuidium, Pelekium, molecular phylogeny, cpDNA, ITS, PABA approach Introduction Pleurocarpous mosses consist of around 5000 species that are defined by the presence of lateral perichaetia along the gametophyte stems. Monophyletic pleurocarpous mosses were resolved as three orders: Ptychomniales, Hypnales, and Hookeriales (Shaw et al.
