As I had surmised from our own experi- ence at our water garden center, the consensus was that water gardening is alive and well, just expanding in different directions other than just ponds with waterlilies and goldfish. We still have a lot of interest in the standard wa- ter garden from our customers, but just like the companies at the show, a whole new type of customer has emerged. The interest in the so-called “pondless” waterfalls and disap- pearing fountains has come about because our fast-paced lifestyle has us searching for a way these systems.

While previous work suggests that H. dasycalyx may be hybridizing with its widespread congeners, the Halberd-leaved Rose Mallow (H. laevis) and the Woolly Rose Mallow (H. moscheutos), this has not been studied in detail.

  • Review and Advances in Style Curvature for the Malvaceae Cheng-Jiang Ruan*
    ® International Journal of Plant Developmental Biology ©2010 Global Science Books Review and Advances in Style Curvature for the Malvaceae Cheng-Jiang Ruan* Key Laboratory of Biotechnology & Bio-Resources Utilization, Dalian Nationalities University, Dalian City, Liaoning 116600, China Correspondence : * [email protected] ABSTRACT The flowers of the Malvaceae with varying levels of herkogamy via style curvature have long intrigued evolutionary botanists. This review covers the flower opening process, approach herkogamy, style curvature and character evolution based on molecular phylogenetic trees, adaptive significances of style curvature and the mating system in some portions of the genera in this family. Hermaphroditic flowers of some species have showy petals and pollen and nectar rewards to pollinators. Approach herkogamy, in which stigmas are located on the top of a monadelphous stamen, has evolved as a mechanism to reduce the frequency of intra-floral self-pollination or the interference between male-female organs. Protandrous or monochogamous flowers in the fields open at about 5-7 days and 1-2 days respectively, and pollination is conducted by insects and birds. Interestingly, un-pollinated styles in some species curve when pollination fails. According to our observations and published or internet data, this curvature occurs in 23 species distributed in eight genera of four tribes (Malvavisceae, Ureneae, Hibisceae, Malveae) and appears to have evolved at least eight times. A shift to use style curvature is associated with a shift to annual or perennial herbs, and an unpredictable pollinator environment is likely an important trigger for this evolution. The adaptive significances of style curvature in the Malvaceae include delayed selfing, promotion of outcrossing or reduction in intrafloral male-female interference, sometimes two or three of which simultaneously occur in style curvature of one species (e.g., Kosteletzkya virginica).

Marie, Michigan 2012 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE July, 2014 EVALUATION OF EPA LEVEL I, II, AND III ASSESSMENTS AND THE EFFECTS OF LAND USE ON COMMUNITIES ON WETLAND COMMUNITIES Thesis Approved: Dr. Andrew Dzialowski Thesis Adviser Dr. Craig Davis Dr. Monica Papeş ii Name: JOSHUA J. CRANE Date of Degree: JULY, 2014 Title of Study: EVALUATION OF EPA LEVEL I, II, AND III ASSESSMENTS AND THE EFFECTS OF LAND USE ON WETLAND COMMUNITIES Major Field: ZOOLOGY Abstract: Effective tools are needed to monitor and assess wetland ecosystems. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed a three level framework that includes landscape assessments (Level I), rapid assessments (Level II), and intensive surveys of wetland communities (Level III). The EPA conducted a national wetland condition assessment in 2011 using a new rapid assessment method (USA-RAM) that was not calibrated to specific regions. The objectives of this study were to compare the relationships between USA-RAM to the Level I and III assessments, analyze the influence of spatial scale on Level I analysis, and determine whether within-wetland or landscape features were more important in structuring macroinvertebrate communities. Plant communities from 22 wetlands of varying levels of landscape disturbance were surveyed in 2012 and 2013 and macroinvertebrate communities were surveyed twice in the 2013.

  • Terrestrial and Palustrine Plant Communities of Pennsylvania
    ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS unding for this project was provided by the Wild Resource Conservation Fund. Data used in the development of this classification came largely from Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory F partners: The Nature Conservancy, DCNR's Bureau of Forestry, and the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy. Tom Smith's 1991 draft "Natural Ecological Communities of Pennsylvania" provided the foundation upon which this classification was built. This effort owes much to its predecessor. This work relies heavily on the expertise and many years of field experience provided by the following people: Tony Davis, Dan Devlin, Charles Bier, Andra Leimanis, Jeff Wagner, Mark Anderson, Roger Earl Latham. Several of these people provided draft community descriptions, species lists, or environmental descriptions of community types. All of these people have reviewed multiple draft versions of this classification and have given generously of their time, wisdom, and experience. Many thanks to all of the people who reviewed earlier drafts of this classification, and provided suggestions, guidance, technical assistance, and encouragement, including: Ashton Berdine John Kunsman Jim Bissell Julie Lundgren Dave Boyd Kathy McKenna Chad Buhrman Ken Metzler Bureau of Forestry Staff Susan Munch Don Cameron Chris Nowak Dick Croop Greg Podniesinski Roger Dorsey Connie Reightler Greg Edinger Carol Reschke Jenni Farber Ann Rhoads Chris Firestone Rich Ring Ted Grisez Ann Robinson Steve Grund Lesley Sneddon Stevens Heckscher Kim Steiner Robert Hill Susan Stout Steve
