    Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 911 Tracing History Phylogenetic, Taxonomic, and Biogeographic Research in the Colchicum Family BY ANNIKA VINNERSTEN ACTA UNIVERSITATIS UPSALIENSIS UPPSALA 2003 Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Lindahlsalen, EBC, Uppsala, Friday, December 12, 2003 at 10:00 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The examination will be conducted in English. Abstract Vinnersten, A. 2003. Tracing History. Phylogenetic, Taxonomic and Biogeographic Research in the Colchicum Family. Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 911. 33 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-554-5814-9 This thesis concerns the history and the intrafamilial delimitations of the plant family Colchicaceae. A phylogeny of 73 taxa representing all genera of Colchicaceae, except the monotypic Kuntheria, is presented. The molecular analysis based on three plastid regions—the rps16 intron, the atpB- rbcL intergenic spacer, and the trnL-F region—reveal the intrafamilial classification to be in need of revision. The two tribes Iphigenieae and Uvularieae are demonstrated to be paraphyletic. The well-known genus Colchicum is shown to be nested within Androcymbium, Onixotis constitutes a grade between Neodregea and Wurmbea, and Gloriosa is intermixed with species of Littonia. Two new tribes are described, Burchardieae and Tripladenieae, and the two tribes Colchiceae and Uvularieae are emended, leaving four tribes in the family. At generic level new combinations are made in Wurmbea and Gloriosa in order to render them monophyletic. The genus Androcymbium is paraphyletic in relation to Colchicum and the latter genus is therefore expanded.

  • Vascular Flora and Vegetation Classification of the South Atlantic Coastal Plain Limestone Forest Association of Central Georgia
    VASCULAR FLORA AND VEGETATION CLASSIFICATION OF THE SOUTH ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN LIMESTONE FOREST ASSOCIATION OF CENTRAL GEORGIA by PATRICK SUMNER LYNCH (Under the Direction of J.L. Hamrick) ABSTRACT The South Atlantic Coastal Plain Limestone forest is a globally imperiled (G2) forest association known only from the upper Coastal Plain of central Georgia. These calcareous forest communities support diverse floristic assemblages unique among the Georgia Coastal Plain, but have not been subject to detailed floristic study. I conducted a comprehensive floristic inventory, multivariate community analyses and floristic quality assessments to document composition, elucidate community structure and underlying physiographic regimes, and assess habitat integrity for seven sites in Houston, Bleckley and Twiggs counties. Community analyses revealed twelve community types within two floristically defined domains corresponding to uplands and slopes, and bottomlands, respectively, and governed largely by moisture content and degree of inclination. Floristic quality assessments revealed varying degrees of floristic quality and habitat integrity corresponding primarily to local physiography and disturbance history. Floristic inventory recovered 339 vascular plant taxa representing 218 genera in 98 families, including 17 rare Georgia species.

  • Mississippi Natural Heritage Program Special Plants - Tracking List -2018
    MISSISSIPPI NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM SPECIAL PLANTS - TRACKING LIST -2018- Approximately 3300 species of vascular plants (fern, gymnosperms, and angiosperms), and numerous non-vascular plants may be found in Mississippi. Many of these are quite common. Some, however, are known or suspected to occur in low numbers; these are designated as species of special concern, and are listed below. There are 495 special concern plants, which include 4 non- vascular plants, 28 ferns and fern allies, 4 gymnosperms, and 459 angiosperms 244 dicots and 215 monocots. An additional 100 species are designated “watch” status (see “Special Plants - Watch List”) with the potential of becoming species of special concern and include 2 fern and fern allies, 54 dicots and 44 monocots. This list is designated for the primary purposes of : 1) in environmental assessments, “flagging” of sensitive species that may be negatively affected by proposed actions; 2) determination of protection priorities of natural areas that contain such species; and 3) determination of priorities of inventory and protection for these plants, including the proposed listing of species for federal protection.

  • Araneae (Spider) Photos
    Araneae (Spider) Photos Araneae (Spiders) About Information on: Spider Photos of Links to WWW Spiders Spiders of North America Relationships Spider Groups Spider Resources -- An Identification Manual About Spiders As in the other arachnid orders, appendage specialization is very important in the evolution of spiders. In spiders the five pairs of appendages of the prosoma (one of the two main body sections) that follow the chelicerae are the pedipalps followed by four pairs of walking legs. The pedipalps are modified to serve as mating organs by mature male spiders. These modifications are often very complicated and differences in their structure are important characteristics used by araneologists in the classification of spiders. Pedipalps in female spiders are structurally much simpler and are used for sensing, manipulating food and sometimes in locomotion. It is relatively easy to tell mature or nearly mature males from female spiders (at least in most groups) by looking at the pedipalps -- in females they look like functional but small legs while in males the ends tend to be enlarged, often greatly so. In young spiders these differences are not evident. There are also appendages on the opisthosoma (the rear body section, the one with no walking legs) the best known being the spinnerets. In the first spiders there were four pairs of spinnerets. Living spiders may have four e.g., (liphistiomorph spiders) or three pairs (e.g., mygalomorph and ecribellate araneomorphs) or three paris of spinnerets and a silk spinning plate called a cribellum (the earliest and many extant araneomorph spiders). Spinnerets' history as appendages is suggested in part by their being projections away from the opisthosoma and the fact that they may retain muscles for movement Much of the success of spiders traces directly to their extensive use of silk and poison.

  • Notes on Florida's Endangered and Threatened Plants 1
    NOTES ON FLORIDA'S ENDANGERED AND THREATENED PLANTS 1 Nancy C. Coile2 The Regulated Plant Index is based on information provided by the Endangered Plant Advisory Council (EPAC), a group of seven individuals who represent academic, industry, and environmental interests (Dr. Loran C. Anderson, Dr. Daniel F. Austin,. Mr. Charles D. D aniel III, Mr. David M . Drylie, Jr., Ms. Eve R. Hannahs, Mr. Richard L. Moyroud, and Dr. Daniel B. Ward). Rule Chap. 5B-40, Florida Administrative Code, contains the "Regulated Plant Index" (5B-40.0055) and lists endangered, threatened, and commercially exploited plant species for Florida; defines the categories; lists instances where permits may be issued; and describes penalties for vio lations. Copies of this Rule may be obtained from Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Plant Industry, P. O. Box 147100, Gainesville, Fl 32614-7100. Amended 20 September 2000, the "Regulated Plant Index" contains 415 endangered species, 113 threatened species, and eight commercially exploited species. Descriptions of these rare species are often difficult to locate. Florida does not have a single manual covering the flora of the entire state. Long and Lakela s manual (1971) focuses on the area south of Glades County; Clewell (1985) is a guide for the Panhandle; and Wunderlin (1998) is a guide for the entire state of Florida but lacks descriptions. Small (1933) is an excellent resource, but must be used with great care since the nomenclature is outdated and frequently disputed. Clewell (1985) and Wunderlin (1998 ) are guides with keys to the flora, but lack species descriptions. Distribution maps (Wund erlin and Hansen, 200 0) are available over the Internet through the University of South Florida Herbarium [www.plantatlas.usf.edu/].

  • Cladistic Analysis of the Atypoides Plus Antrodiaetus Lineage of Mygalomorph Spiders (Araneae, Antrodiaetidae )
    1996 . The Journal of Arachnology 24 :201–21 3 CLADISTIC ANALYSIS OF THE ATYPOIDES PLUS ANTRODIAETUS LINEAGE OF MYGALOMORPH SPIDERS (ARANEAE, ANTRODIAETIDAE ) Jeremy A . Miller and Frederick A . Coyle : Department of Biology, Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, North Carolina 28723 USA ABSTRACT . Cladistic analyses of the antrodiaetid spider genera Atypoides O .P.-Cambridge 1883 and Antrodiaetus Ausserer 1871 yield a much more completely resolved phylogeny than that proposed by Coyle in 1971 . Twenty-nine potentially informative characters were used in the analyses, which wer e performed using PAUPs a posteriori weighting options . Three independent analyses were performed , each with a different outgroup . These outgroups were 1) the antrodiaetid genus Aliatypus Smith 1908, the putative sister group of Atypoides plus Antrodiaetus, 2) Aliatypus gulosus Coyle 1974, the most primitive Aliatypus species, and 3) a hypothetical ancestral taxon based on character states found in Aliatypus an d the Atypidae, the latter being the putative sister group of the antrodiaetids . These three analyses produced a total of eight most parsimonious trees which support the following principal conclusions : 1) Atypoides, as defined by Coyle, is paraphyletic (Atypoides riversi O . P.-Cambridge 1883 plus At. gertschi Coyle 1968 share with Antrodiaetus a common ancestor not shared with At . hadros Coyle 1968). 2) Antrodiaetus roretzi (L. Koch 1878) is a relict species which shares a unique common ancestor with all other Antro- diaetus species . 3) Coyles unicolor group of nine Antrodiaetus species is paraphyletic ; six of these form a recently-derived Glade, (Antrodiaetus occultus Coyle 1971 (An . yesoensis [Uyemura 1942], An. cerberu s Coyle 1971, (An. montanus [Chamberlin Ivie 1933], (An.

  • Somatic Karyotype Analysis of Uvularia Floridana Chapman (Liliaceae)
    Cytologia 43: 671-678, 1978 Somatic Karyotype Analysis of Uvularia floridana Chapman (Liliaceae) Frederick H. Utech Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Section of Plants, Pittsburgh, PA. 15213, U. S. A. Received April 30, 1977 The small genus Uvularia L. with 5 species is confined to eastern North America and has been investigated by both classical taxonomic methods (Wilbur 1963) and cytotaxonomic comparison (Kawano and Iltis 1964). In the latter study, material for karyological analysis of U. floridana Chapman was not available. It is a member of the sessile-leaved section Oakesiella (Small) Wilbur. This rare endemic is confined exclusively to the southeastern Coastal Plain (Johnson 1969, Wilbur 1963). Since its range is wholly within areas only available since the Createous and since its mor phology is derived within the section, an investigation of its somatic karyology was undertaken to complete the cytotaxonomy of the genus. Materials and methods Materials for this study consisted of two clones of U. floridana collected ca. 10 km. apart along the terraced floodplain of the Chipola River, north and north west of Marianna, Jackson Co., Florida. This area is the southern most known site for this species. Herbarium specimens prepared from both clones (24 March 1977, Utech 77-101a and 77-101b) have been distributed as cyto-vouchers (CM, WIS, GA, MO, KYO, TI). Excised root tips from the two isolated clones were pretreated with 0.02 colchicine for 4hrs. at room temperatures (19-21•Ž) and fixed 3:1 (acetic ethanol) for 1 hr. All resulting squash preparations were made using a modification of the aceto-orcein procedure of Tjio and Levan (1950) (cf.

  • A Range Extension of the Purseweb Spider Sphodros Rufipes in Eastern Kansas (Araneae, Atypidae )
    1986 . The Journal of Arachnology 14:119 A RANGE EXTENSION OF THE PURSEWEB SPIDER SPHODROS RUFIPES IN EASTERN KANSAS (ARANEAE, ATYPIDAE ) Little is known about the behavior or ecology of atypid spiders, aside fro m descriptions of tube-web construction and prey capture (McCook 1888, Potea t 1890, Bristowe 1958) and partial descriptions of the natural history of a fe w species (Enock 1885, Muma and Muma 1945, Coyle and Shear 1981). Gertsch and Platnick's (1980) excellent paper provides a much needed taxonomic revisio n of the group as well as known distributions and notes on natural histories of th e Nearctic species of atypids . Atypids are patchily distributed, though locally abundant . The areas of abundance are often difficult to locate and associate with climatic and ecologica l variables, making their occurrence difficult to predict . They are more commo n in the southern U.S., where they are found in forested areas with sandy soil, o r soil with a moderate to low clay content . In these areas, sites with southern exposures, often along a stream or in fairly mesic situations, seem to be the mos t prevalent purseweb habitats (Bristowe 1933, Muma and Muma 1945, pers . comm. Teeter). This note extends the range of Sphodros rufipes (Latreille) to the northwes t of previous records and is the first record of the species in Kansas . Previously published distribution is from eastern Texas to northern Florida and northwar d to southern Illinois and Rhode Island (Gertsch and Platnick 1980) . S. bicolor and S. milberti have recently been synonymized with S.
