Visger 2,3,5 , Charlotte C. Germain-Aubrey 3 , Maya Patel3 , Emily B. Sessa 2,4 , Pamela S. Soltis3,4 , and Douglas E. Soltis2-4 PREMISE OF STUDY: Polyploidy is common in eukaryotes and is of major evolutionary importance over both short and long time-scales. Compared to allopolyploids, autopolyploids remain understudied; they are often morphologically cryptic and frequently remain taxonomically unrecognized, although there is increasing recognition of the high frequency of autopolyploidy in angiosperms. While autopolyploidy can serve as an instant speciation mecha- nism, little is known about the ecological consequences of this process. We describe the ecological divergence of a diploid-autotetraploid species pair in Tolmiea . METHODS: We investigated whether abiotic niche divergence has shaped the current allopatric distribution of diploid T. diplomenziesii and its autotetra- ploid derivative, T. menziesii , in the Pacif c Northwest of North America. We employed f eld measures of light availability, as well as niche modeling and a principal component analysis of environmental space. Within a common garden, we also investigated physiological responses to changes in soil moisture. KEY RESULTS: Diploid and autotetraploid Tolmiea inhabit signif cantly dif erent climatic niche spaces. The climatic niche divergence between these two species is best explained by a shift in precipitation availability, and we found evidence of dif ering physiological response to water availability between these species. CONCLUSIONS: We found that spatial segregation of T. diplomenziesii a n d T. menziesii was accompanied by adaptation to changes in climatic regime. Tolmiea menziesii is not a nascent autotetraploid, having persisted long enough to be established throughout the Paci f c Northwest, and therefore both polyploidization and subsequent evolution have contributed to the observed dif erences between T. menziesii and T. diplomenziesii.

    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.

The overall outgroup sampling (21 taxa total; Supplementary Table S1) was improved > 5 fold.2 This includes several representatives each of all lineages that have been hypothesized to undergo hybridization in the Heuchera group of genera. For the transcriptomes, reads were assembled against the low-copy nuclear loci from our targeted enrichment experiment, where the targets stripped of intronic sequence but assembly methods otherwise followed a previously developed BWA-based approach1. Transcriptomic reads were also mapped to a Heuchera parviflora var. saurensis chloroplast genome reference1 which was stripped of intronic and intergenic sequence. Assembly methods for target-enriched data followed the BWA-based approach1 directly. In practice, intronic sequence can be recovered from RNAseq data,3 but has consistently lower coverage (pers. obs.); moreover non-coding read dropout can be expected to be high for more divergent outgroups added here. For this reason, only coding reference sequences were used to assemble transcriptomic taxa. For nuclear analyses, reads were assembled with 277 references comprising the gene sequences used for bait design, with intronic sequences stripped.

  • Pacific Northwest Forest Industry on Natural and Planted Regeneration
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF ELVER HOWARD VOTH for the DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (Name) (Degree) in ZOOLOGY; NATURAL HISTORY presented on October 10, 1967 (Major) (Date) Title: FOOD HABITS. OF THE PACIFIC MOUNTAIN BEAVER, APLODONTIA RUFA PACIFICA MERRIAM Abstract approved: Dr. Robert M. Storm The mountain beaver causes extensive loss to the Pacific Northwest forest industry on natural and planted regeneration sites, primarily to Douglas fir, by clipping or burying seedlings during its burrowing activity and also by damaging older trees by pruning or girdling. This project studied a heavy population and its annual harvest of vegetation on a 2- hectare site with alder succession problems on the north side of Marys Peak in the Oregon Coast Range from 1964 to 1966. Food habits methods were reviewed to include work by Adams, Aldous, Arata, Baumgartner and Martin, Dusi, Korschgen, Swift and Bishop, and Williams, and compared stomach contents analysis and fecal pellet analysis approaches. The methods used included histological preparation of reference material based on herbarium specimens and photographic plates of plant tissue slides to identify recognition items of 34 species of ingested plants from a site total of 141. Three series of fecal samples were analyzed from live trapped animals captured one or more at a time over a calendar year, the three series including adult males, lactating females (April, May, and June), and juveniles following weaning. Feeding experi- ments confirmed recognition items and sought to establish a leaf epidermis fragment equivalence index. A vegetation yield analysis made comparison of available vegetation with intake possible. Minimal statistical treatment justified number of samples, sample size, and counting procedures using 200X magnification of 10 1.0 mm diameter microscope fields for each sample taken from a fecal pellet collection.
