Executive Summary This survey was a continuation of several years of rare plant survey on San Juan Public Lands. Funding for the project was provided by San Juan National Forest and the San Juan Resource Area of the Bureau of Land Management. Previous rare plant surveys on San Juan Public Lands by CNHP were conducted in conjunction with county wide surveys of La Plata, Archuleta, San Juan and San Miguel counties, with partial funding from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO); and in 2004, public lands only in Dolores and Montezuma counties, funded entirely by the San Juan Public Lands. Funding for 2005 was again provided by San Juan Public Lands. The primary emphases for field work in 2005 were: 1. revisit and update information on rare plant occurrences of agency sensitive species in the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) database that were last observed prior to 2000, in order to have the most current information available for informing the revision of the Resource Management Plan for the San Juan Public Lands (BLM and San Juan National Forest); 2.

COGBILL 82 Walker Lane, Plainfield, VT 05667 ABSTRACT. The influence of substrate lithology on the distribution of many vascular and nonvascular plants has long been recognized, especially in alpine, subalpine, and other rocky habitats. In particular, plants have been classified as dependent on high-calcium substrates (i.e., calcicoles) based on common restriction to habitats developed in calcareous rocks, such as limestone and marble. In a classic 1907 paper on the influence of substrate on plants, M. L. Fernald singled out a particular meadow on Mont de la Table in the Chic-Choc Mountains of Que´bec for its unusual co-occurrence of strict calcicole and calcifuge (i.e., acidophile) plant taxa. We re-located this site, investigated substrate factors responsible for its unusual plant diversity, and documented current plant distributions. No calcareous rocks were found on site. However, inclusions of calcareous rocks were found farther up the mountain. The highest pH and dissolved calcium concentrations in surface waters were found in a series of springs that deliver groundwater, presumably influenced by calcareous rocks up the slope. Within the habitat delineated by common occurrences of calcicole species, available soil calcium varied by a factor of five and soil pH varied by almost 1.5 units, depending on microtopography and relative connection with groundwater.

Jacq. subsp. vanensis Özgökçe & Kit Tan (Caryophyllaceae), a new taxon occurring in the province of Van in East Anatolia, Turkey, is described and illustrated. Its closest affinities are with S. acaulis subsp. bryoides, a plant occurring more than 2000 km away in the mountains of central and southern Europe. The exist- ence of a new subspecies of S. acaulis in the extremely disjunct locality is interesting from a phytogeographical viewpoint. It is possible that during the post-glacial period the present-day Arctic-Alpine flora migrated not only southwards to the mountains of central and southern Europe but also to the highlands of eastern Turkey.

This information represents what was known at the end of the 1994 field season. These maps may not represent the most recent information on distribution and range for these taxa but it does illustrate geographic distribution across the assessment area. For many of these species, this is the first time information has been compiled on this scale. For the continued viability of many of these taxa, it is imperative that we begin to manage for them across their range and across administrative boundaries. Of the 173 taxa analyzed, there are maps for 153 taxa. For those taxa that were not tracked by heritage programs, we were not able to generate range maps.

  • Species Delimitation in Silene Acaulis (L.)L. (Caryophyllaceae)
    Species delimitation in Silene acaulis (L.)L. (Caryophyllaceae) based on multi-locus DNA sequence data Patrik Cangren Degree project for Master of Science (Two Years) in Biodiversity and systematics Degree course in (Biodiversity and systematics, BIO707) 60 hec Autumn and Spring 2015 - 16 Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences University of Gothenburg Examiner: Bernard Pfeil Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences University of Gothenburg Supervisor: Bengt Oxelman Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences University of Gothenburg Cover photo by Jörg Hempel, published under Creative Commons License. Abstract Species delimitation has for a long time been seen as an arbitrary endeavour and has historically been separated from phylogenetics which aims to infer the evolutionary history of species. This separation is problematic since neither species boundaries or evolutionary histories can be inferred without knowledge of the other. Since species are the basis for many biological research problems, the results of erroneous delimitations can have a great impact on scientific accuracy. In Silene acaulis, a wide spread perennial, alpine cushion plant with an almost circumpolar distribution across the northern hemisphere, a large number of subspecies has been described. There is little consensus and knowledge regarding the validity of these names and their application also varies between continents. Using recently developed methods for automated species delimitation based on Bayesian inference and the multi-species coalescent, this study aims to infer the evolutionary history and genetic subdivision of Silene acaulis. The data used include DNA sequences captured from 142 probes through hybrid capture and Illumina sequencing from 86 populations of Silene acaulis and two closely related taxa for which the relation to Silene acaulis is unclear.
