  • 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.

Phylogeny and Biogeography of South American Marsh Pitcher Plant Genus Heliamphora (Sarraceniaceae) Endemic to the Guiana Highlands Sukuan Liu and Stacey D. Smith Author for correspondence: Sukuan Liu, [email protected] Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Colorado Boulder, 1900 Pleasant Street, Boulder, Colorado 80309, U.S.A. Abstract: Heliamphora is a genus of carnivorous pitcher plants endemic to the Guiana Highlands with fragmented distributions. We presented a well resolved, time-calibrated, and nearly comprehensive Heliamphora phylogeny estimated using Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood based on nuclear genes (26S, ITS, and PHYC) and secondary calibration. We used stochastic mapping to infer ancestral states of morphological characters and ecological traits. Our ancestral state estimations revealed that the pitcher drainage structures characteristic of the genus transformed from a hole to a slit in single clade, while other features (scape pubescence and hammock-like growth) have been gained and lost multiple times. Habitat was similarly labile in Heliamphora, with multiple transitions from the ancestral highland habitats into the lowlands. Using Mantel test, we found closely related species tend to be geographically closely distributed. Placing our phylogeny in a historical context, major clades likely emerged through both vicariance and dispersal during Miocene with more recent diversification driven by vertical displacement during the Pleistocene glacial-interglacial thermal oscillations.

  • Rare Vascular Plant Taxa Associated with the Longleaf Pine Ecosystems: Patterns in Taxonomy and Ecology
    Rare Vascular Plant Taxa Associated with the Longleaf Pine Ecosystems: Patterns in Taxonomy and Ecology Joan Walker U.S.D.A. Forest Service, Southeastern Forest Experiment Station, Department of Forest Resources, Clemson University, Clemson, SC 29634 ABSTRACT Ecological, taxonomic and biogeographical characteristics are used to describe the group of 187 rare vascular plant taxa associated with longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) throughout its range. Taxonomic and growth form distributions mirror the patterns of common plus rare taxa in the flora. Most of the species have rather narrow habitat preferences, and narrow geo­ graphic ranges, but a few rare sp~cies with broad habitat tolerances and wider geographic ranges are identified. Ninety-six local endemics are associated with longleaf pine ecosystems. This incidence is as high as in other comparably-sized endemic-rich areas in North America. A distinct geographic trend in rare species composition is indicated. Species fall into 4 groups: Florida longleaf associates, south Atlantic coastal plain, east Gulf coastal plain, and west Gulf coastal plain species. Distributional factors that produce rarity must be considered in the development of conser­ vation strategies. Overall, conserving longleaf communities rangewide will protect .large ~ numbers of rare plant taxa in Southeastern United States.

Arising from clumping rhizomes, the leaves are trumpet-form in appearance and have lids with hairy undersides which point toward the pitcher opening (Figure 1) (Schnell, 2002). Figure 1: The trumpet shaped pitchers of Sarracenia leucophylla illustrating These hairs presumably facilitate phenotype coloration. Taken from: http://www.growingmatters.co.uk/gmexoti advancement of prey toward the pitcher c_carnivores_pitcher-plants.htm mouth while making retreat challenging (Newell & Nastase, 1998). Pitcher coloring ranges from green to red and progressively changes to white fenestrations towards the pitcher top which are commonly intermixed with green and/or red venations (Figure 1). Pitcher anatomy consists of lid, peristome, throat and fenestrations (Figure 1). Flowers which occur in early spring, usually from March to May, are insect pollinated, mainly by Bombus species (Schnell, 1983; 2002) and readily cross pollinate within the genus. 2 The evolution of these plants is thought to be an adaptation to a lack of nutrient availability, a common characteristic of bogs and waterlogged environments (Ellison & Gotelli, 2001). Nutrients derived from the captured and Figure 2: A comparison of anthocyanin-free digested prey are assimilated into the plant. (left) and anthocyanin present (right) pitchers. Captured prey consists mainly of Coleoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera (Green & Horner, 2007) and Lepidoptera (Cresswell, 1991; Heard, 1998; Newell & Nastase, 1998).
