  • Bioregions: an Ecological and Evolutionary Perspective and a Proposal for California
    CALIFORNIAFISH ANDGAME Calif. Fish and Game (80)3:97-l24 1994 BIOREGIONS: AN ECOLOGICAL AND EVOLUTIONARY PERSPECTIVE AND A PROPOSAL FOR CALIFORNIA HARTWELL H. WELSH, JR. USDA Forest Service Redwood Sciences Laboratory 1700 Bayview Dr. Arcata, CA. 95521 Bioregions are natural assemblages of plants and animals with discernible but dynamic boundaries existing simultaneously along both spatial and temporal trajectories.I argue that the designation of bioregions should be based on the study of biogeography and must adhere to the tenets of this discipline; they are not spatial designations of political convenience. Bioregions are defined by physiographic and climatic limits that define the natural communities of organisms in space and time through interactions with the physiological and behavioral capabilities of these organisms. Plants are less vagile than animals and therefore lend themselves better to describing such natural communities. Despite the fluctuation of biotic communities in both time and space, and the anthropogenic bias inherent in defining their composition, such natural assemblages do exist on the landscape and they are of scientific interest and have useful management applications. I propose sixteen bioregions for thestateof California and include definitions of geographic boundaries, dominant plant communities, and lists of vertebrate species typical of these bioregions. INTRODUCTION My purpose in describing a set of biotic provinces for California is two-fold: (1) to establish such sub-divisions with a firm biological basis, grounded in the biogeographic literature; and (2) to provide a biogeographic framework for the conservation of California’s faunaI resources and natural biodiversity, while facilitating wise use of its natural resources. My particular emphasis is on vertebrate wildlife resources, and these proposed bioregions were initially-developed to provide the basis for a bioregional revision of California’s statewide Wildlife Habitat Relationships System (WHR) (Airola 1988) in order to improve the system’s accuracy and utility.

    SYSTEMATICS OF CYRTACANTHACRIDINAE (ORTHOPTERA: ACRIDIDAE) WITH A FOCUS ON THE GENUS SCHISTOCERCA STÅL 1873: EVOLUTION OF LOCUST PHASE POLYPHENISM AND STUDY OF INSECT GENITALIA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Hojun Song, M.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. John W. Wenzel, Advisor Dr. Norman F. Johnson ______________________________ Dr. Johannes S. H. Klompen Advisor Graduate Program in Entomology Copyright by Hojun Song 2006 ABSTRACT The systematics of Cyrtacanthacridinae (Orthoptera: Acrididae) is investigated to study the evolution of locust phase polyphenism, biogeography, and the evolution of male genitalia. In Chapter Two, I present a comprehensive taxonomic synopsis of the genus Schistocerca Stål. I review the taxonomic history, include an identification key to species, revise the species concepts of six species and describe a new species. In Chapter Three, I present a morphological phylogeny of Schistocerca, focusing on the biogeography. The phylogeny places the desert locust S. gregaria deep within the New World clade, suggesting that the desert locust originated from the New World. In Chapter Four, I review the systematics of Cyrtacanthacridinae and present a phylogeny based on morphology. Evolution of taxonomically important characters is investigated using a character optimization analysis. The biogeography of the subfamily is also addressed. In Chapter Five, I present a comprehensive review the recent advances in the study of locust phase polyphenism from various disciplines. The review reveals that locust phase polyphenism is a complex phenomenon consisting of numerous density-dependent phenotypically plastic traits.
