    FNR-213 Hardwood Tree Improvement and Regeneration Center North Central Research Station USDA Forest Service Department of Forestry and Natural Resources Purdue University Designing Hardwood Tree Plantings for Wildlife Brian J. MacGowan, Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, Purdue University Woody plants can be of value to many wildlife species. The species of tree or shrub, or the location, size, and shape of planting can all have an impact on wildlife. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the benefits of trees and shrubs for wildlife and how to design tree and shrub plantings for wildlife. Some of the practices may conflict with other management goals and may have to be modified for individual priorities. Trees and Shrubs for Wildlife The species you select for a tree planting should depend on the growing conditions of the site and the wildlife species that you want to manage. Talk to a professional forester to help you select the tree species best suited for your growing conditions. A professional biologist, such as a Department of Natural Resources District Biologist (www.in.gov/ food source for wildlife (Table 2). Shrubs can be dnr/fishwild/huntguide1/wbiolo.htm), can assist you particularly important because several species of with planning a tree planting for wildlife. wildlife, especially songbirds, prefer to feed or nest There is no specific formula for developing wild- on or near the ground. Shrubs also provide good life habitat. For example, acorns are eaten by a wide protective cover for these types of wildlife. Pines variety of wildlife species including tree squirrels, and other softwoods provide limited food, but are an pheasants, wild turkey, and deer.

Abstract Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis L.) is a well-known perennial herb indigenous to forested areas in eastern North America. Owing to conservation concerns including wild harvesting for medicinal markets, habitat loss and degradation, and an overall patchy and often inexplicable absence in many regions, there is a need to better understand habitat factors that help determine the presence and distribution of goldenseal populations. In this study, flora and edaphic factors associated with goldenseal populations throughout Pennsylvania—a state near the northern edge of its range—were documented and analyzed to identify habitat indicators and provide possible in situ stewardship and farming (especially forest-based farming) guidance.

  • Reconstructing the Basal Angiosperm Phylogeny: Evaluating Information Content of Mitochondrial Genes
    55 (4) • November 2006: 837–856 Qiu & al. • Basal angiosperm phylogeny Reconstructing the basal angiosperm phylogeny: evaluating information content of mitochondrial genes Yin-Long Qiu1, Libo Li, Tory A. Hendry, Ruiqi Li, David W. Taylor, Michael J. Issa, Alexander J. Ronen, Mona L. Vekaria & Adam M. White 1Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, The University Herbarium, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-1048, U.S.A. [email protected] (author for correspondence). Three mitochondrial (atp1, matR, nad5), four chloroplast (atpB, matK, rbcL, rpoC2), and one nuclear (18S) genes from 162 seed plants, representing all major lineages of gymnosperms and angiosperms, were analyzed together in a supermatrix or in various partitions using likelihood and parsimony methods. The results show that Amborella + Nymphaeales together constitute the first diverging lineage of angiosperms, and that the topology of Amborella alone being sister to all other angiosperms likely represents a local long branch attrac- tion artifact. The monophyly of magnoliids, as well as sister relationships between Magnoliales and Laurales, and between Canellales and Piperales, are all strongly supported. The sister relationship to eudicots of Ceratophyllum is not strongly supported by this study; instead a placement of the genus with Chloranthaceae receives moderate support in the mitochondrial gene analyses. Relationships among magnoliids, monocots, and eudicots remain unresolved. Direct comparisons of analytic results from several data partitions with or without RNA editing sites show that in multigene analyses, RNA editing has no effect on well supported rela- tionships, but minor effect on weakly supported ones. Finally, comparisons of results from separate analyses of mitochondrial and chloroplast genes demonstrate that mitochondrial genes, with overall slower rates of sub- stitution than chloroplast genes, are informative phylogenetic markers, and are particularly suitable for resolv- ing deep relationships.

Horse Bucks) Maples Ashes Dogwoods Horse Chestnuts Buckeyes - alternate (Others) - whorled (Catalpa sp.) • Shape and color of buds • Shape and color of leaf scars • Color and structure of tree bark General Notes • Species with opposite arrangements are near the front of the reference, while species with alternate and whorled arrangements are near the back. • Each species has the common name, genus and species, as well as the family name listed. Genus and species names are in italics and the family names all end in “AE.” • A species marked with a denotes a species that we would like to have a location reported, so we can collect seed when the time is right. Lastly, this is by no means a complete guide to native trees in Illinois. It is simply a compilation of common trees that could be encountered during a hike in the woods. More trees will be added to this reference in the future so that a more complete guide can be generated Thank You and Enjoy! Maple Aceraceae Acer sp.

  • NAME of SPECIES: Berberis Thunbergii DC Synonyms: Berberis Thunbergii Var
    NAME OF SPECIES: Berberis thunbergii DC Synonyms: Berberis thunbergii var. atropurpurea (Chenault), Berberis thunbergii var. maximowiczii, Berberis thunbergii var. minor (2) Common Name: Japanese barberry Cultivars? YES NO A. CURRENT STATUS AND DISTRIBUTION I. In Wisconsin? 1. YES NO 2. Abundance: Over 150 occurrences of Japanese barberry have been reported in the state of WI since 1938. While this number does include some cultivated plants, many of the occurrences have been reported from naturalized settings including state natural areas. Furthermore, this species is probably underreported. (18) 3. Geographic Range: B. thunbergii is now reported throughout southern WI, parts of central WI, in the eastern portion of the state along Lake Michigan, and in northwestern WI along Lake Superior. (18) 4. Habitat Invaded: Lowland hardwood forests, oak woodlands and oak savannas. (20) Low-density invasions of B. thunbergii have been reported in silver maple dominated lowland forests in southeastern WI. (10) Disturbed Areas Undisturbed Areas 5. Historical Status and Rate of Spread in Wisconsin: Japanese barberry was introduced as an ornamental to North America via Massachusetts in 1875. By 1920 it was being promoted as a substitute for the common barberry, which was used by early settlers for hedgerows, dyes and jams but was eradicated when it was discovered to be a host for black stem rust. (2,4,10) The earliest known reports of B. thunbergii in the state of WI are from the 1930s. (18, 19) 6. Proportion of potential range occupied: This species occupies only a portion of its potential range in WI. II. Invasive in Similar Climate 1.
