Abstract Background: This work focuses on plant-based preparations that the Aguaruna Jivaro of Peru give to hunting dogs. Many plants are considered to improve dogs' sense of smell or stimulate them to hunt better, while others treat common illnesses that prevent dogs from hunting. This work places canine ethnoveterinary medicine within the larger context of Aguaruna ethnomedicine, by testing the following hypotheses: H1 -- Plants that the Aguaruna use to treat dogs will be the same plants that they use to treat people and H2 -- Plants that are used to treat both people and dogs will be used for the same illnesses in both cases. Methods: Structured interviews with nine key informants were carried out in 2007, in Aguaruna communities in the Peruvian department of Amazonas. -
Lesser Prairie-Chicken Habitat Map for Portions of Eastern New Mexico
________________________________________________________________________ Lesser Prairie-Chicken Habitat Map for Portions of Eastern New Mexico ________________________________________________________________________ 16 November 2005 Lesser Prairie-Chicken Habitat Map for 1 Portions of Eastern New Mexico Paul Neville, Teri Neville, and Kristine Johnson2 ABSTRACT The purpose of this project was to provide a map depicting the extent and location of lesser prairie-chicken habitat in New Mexico. The 923,441 ha (2,281,868 ac) study area includes most of the remaining occupied habitat for the lesser prairie-chicken in the state. We used field data in conjunction with satellite imagery and aerial photography to create a vegetation map. We classified the map according to plant associations and subsequently regrouped it into map units that incorporated landforms, to reflect the habitat requirements of lesser prairie-chickens. We performed GIS analyses incorporating vegetation type, patch size, and fragmentation to identify areas of high quality lesser prairie-chicken habitat. These analyses demonstrate that only three places within the mapped area contain large patches of suitable habitat, and one of those is south of US 380, where LPCH populations are already sparse and scattered. The GIS analyses also indicate that the vast majority of high-quality vegetation types occur in patches smaller than 3200 ha, rendering them by most definitions below the minimum size required by LPCH. Used in combination with GIS analysis and current LPCH population data, the map represents a powerful management, planning, and monitoring tool. 1 Draft Final report submitted 31 August 2005 in partial fulfillment of Task Order 5 to Cooperative Agreement No. GDA010009 between Natural Heritage New Mexico at the University of New Mexico and Bureau of Land Management; Work Order No. -
A Comparative Study of Ethnobotanical Taxonomies: Swahili and Digo
A Comparative Study of Ethnobotanical Taxonomies: Swahili and Digo Steve Nicolle This paper explores how members of two East African language groups, with similar languages and cultures, classify the plant world. Differences primarily concern which parameters (e.g., size, uses, and longevity) determine how plant species are categorized. I show how linguistically similar classifications can obscure significant differences in folk botanical taxonomies. Introduction The early classic studies from which the present paper has developed began with the seminal ethnoscience work of the cognitive anthropologists Harold Conklin (1954, 1962), Charles Frake (1969), and Ward Goodenough (1957). Later influential ethnobiological taxonomic studies were done by Cecil Brown (1977, 1979), Terence Hays (1976), and especially by Brent Berlin and his co-authors (e.g., Berlin, Breedlove and Raven 1968, 1969, 1973, etc.) and peaking with Berlin's magnum opus (1992). Early methodologies for eliciting ethnobotanical folk taxonomies, now used as a standard, are found in Black (1969) and in Werner and Fenton's "card sorting" (1973); both methods were used in the present study. Later critics refined the endeavor of folk botanical classification as they encountered problems in "intra-cultural variability" among neighbors in the same speech community (e.g., Gal 1973, Pelto and Pelto 1975, Gardner 1976, Headland 1981, 1983, and several other papers in a special 1975 issue of American Ethnologist vol. 2, no. 1, titled "Intra-cultural Variability"). The present author found some of these problems of disagreements between informants as well. This brief study looks at the way plants are classified by speakers of two Northeast Coast Bantu languages, Swahili and Digo. -

Our results indicate this group has a woody habit, simple leaves, heteromorphic mericarps with lateral wings. fruits with bottle- shaped or bulging epidermal cells which have thickened and cutinized outer wall, regular vittae (one in furrow and two in commissure) and irregular vittae (short, dwarf, or branching and anatosmosing), and dispersed druse crystals. However, lateral winged mericarps, bottle-shaped epidermal cells, and branching and anatosmosing vittae are peculiar in the tribe Heteromorpheae of Apioideae sub family. Although many features share with other early-diverging groups of Apiaceae, including Annesorhiza clade, Saniculoideae sensu lato, Azorelloideae, Mackinlayoideae, as well as with Araliaceae. -
Designations for Individual Genomes and Chromosomes in Gossypium WANG Kunbo1*, WENDEL Jonathan F.2 and HUA Jinping3
WANG et al. Journal of Cotton Research (2018) 1:3 Journal of Cotton Research https://doi.org/10.1186/s42397-018-0002-1 REVIEW Open Access Designations for individual genomes and chromosomes in Gossypium WANG Kunbo1*, WENDEL Jonathan F.2 and HUA Jinping3 Abstract Gossypium, as the one of the biggest genera, the most diversity, and the highest economic value in field crops, is assuming an increasingly important role in studies on plant taxonomy, polyploidization, phylogeny, cytogenetics, and genomics. Here we update and provide a brief summary of the emerging picture of species relationships and diversification, and a set of the designations for individual genomes and chromosomes in Gossypium. This cytogenetic and genomic nomenclature will facilitate comparative studies worldwide, which range from basic taxonomic exploration to breeding and germplasm introgression. Keywords: Nomenclature, Individual genome, Individual chromosome, Gossypium Because of its diversity and economic significance, the cotton diversity, from consisting of only a single species (F gen- genus (Gossypium) has been subjected to decades of taxo- ome) to larger genome groups containing more than a nomic, cytogenetic, and phylogenetic analyses. Accordingly, dozen species each (D, K).

Largest Species, Citheronia Splendens Sinaloensis (Hoffmann) and Ea Cles Oslari Rothschild, Is Poorly Known
Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 40(4), 1986, 264- 270 BIOLOGY AND IMMATURE STAGES OF CITHERONIA SPLENDENS SINALOENSIS AND EACLES OSLARI IN ARIZONA (SATURNIIDAE) PAUL M. TUSKES 7900 Cambridge IllD, Houston, Texas 77054 ABSTRACT. Citheronia splendens sinaloensis and Eacles oslari occur in Cochise, Pima, and Santa Cruz counties in southern Arizona. Both species have one generation per year. The flight season of E. oslari extends from early June to mid-August, and the larval host plants include Quercus species. The flight season of C. splendens extends from July to mid-August, and the larval host plants include wild cotton, manzanita, and New Mexico evergreen sumac. The immature stages are described for the first time. The citheroniine fauna of Arizona is unique in that all seven species are primarily of Mexican origin (Tuskes 1985). The biology of the two largest species, Citheronia splendens sinaloensis (Hoffmann) and Ea cles oslari Rothschild, is poorly known. Ferguson (1971) illustrated the adults, summarized existing information, and indicated that their im mature stages were undescribed. The purpose of this paper is to de scribe the immature stages of both species and to present additional biological and distributional information. Citheronia splendens sinaloensis (Figs. 1-4) Citheronia splendens sinaloensis is the only member of the genus presently known to occur in Arizona. Citheronia mexicana G. & R. occurs just south of Arizona, in Sonora, Mexico. Although reported from Arizona before the turn of the century, there are no recent United States records. Citheronia regalis (F.) and C. sepulcralis (Druce) are common in the eastern or central United States but do not occur farther west than central Texas. -

THURSDAY JUNE 7, 7:30pm Tiny and Tough: Rare Plants of Mount Tams Serpentine Barrens Speaker: Rachel Kesel Among the rare vegetation types found on Mount Tamalpais, serpentine barrens present plants with NEW S some of the harshest soil conditions for growth. For much of the year it appears that these areas of pretty blue rock and soil are indeed barren. However, several rare annual plants make a living in this habitat, including some endemic to the Mount Tam area. In addition to serpentine barrens, adjacent THE YERBA BUENA chaparral and grasslands host rare perennial species equally as tough as the tiny annuals, if far larger in CHAPTER OF THE size. CALIFORNIA Land managers across the mountain are monitoring a suite of ten rare plants found in serpentine barrens NATIVE PLANT to better understand their distributions and population fluctuations over time. Known as the Serpentine SOCIETY FOR Endemic Occupancy Project, this effort is one of many cross-jurisdictional endeavors of the One Tam initiative.
