An Abstract of the Thesis Of
AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Kathryn Wellons for the degree of Master of Science in Horticulture presented on June 7, 2018. Title: Ecophenology and Control of European Frogbit in a Hybrid Cattail Marsh of the St. Marys River, Michigan. Abstract approved: _____________________________________________________________________ Dennis Albert Great Lakes coastal wetland communities are threatened by the impacts of invasive plants on ecosystem function and biodiversity. What allows invasive plants to become dominant in invaded communities can be hard to define and context-dependent. Traits associated with invasion success in wetland systems – rapid vegetative growth, competitive superiority in resource acquisition, and tolerance for high nutrient levels – are shared by two co-occurring invasive plants, hybrid cattail (Typha × glauca) and European frogbit (Hydrocharis morsus- ranae). European frogbit is a free-floating weed causing substantial negative impacts to native ecosystems in the Great Lakes region. It is thought to be facilitated by the presence of emergent plants like hybrid cattail, but the nature of this relationship has not been empirically demonstrated or utilized in management strategies. The purpose of this thesis was to advance understanding of the phenology, ecology, and control of European frogbit within an invaded hybrid cattail marsh along the St. Marys River, a connecting channel between Lakes Huron and Superior. This marsh was a valuable site both for investigating the relationship between hybrid cattail and European frogbit and for assessing the role of deep water in the development and control of European frogbit. In an observational study, measures of the phenological development of European frogbit were accompanied by measures of environmental variables and estimates of plant community abundances to explore associations between European frogbit development and environmental conditions during a high-water period in the Great Lakes. -

A phologically, and conflicting diagnostic characters have complex of indigenous herbivore and fungal taxa, mostly been presented by various authors (Nesom and Kartesz known from other Ludwigia spp., resulted in peak feeding 2000). Ludwigia hexapetala is decaploid (2n ¼ 80; Zardini et al. and disease occurrence on 88% and 92% of sampled 1991), a characteristic that may contribute to relative leaves, respectively. Herbivore damage declined over the invasiveness over other Ludwigia spp. (Pandit et al. 2011, growing season from 78 to 21% of sampled leaves, and Grewell et al. 2016). disease symptom occurrence increased from 0 to 80%.

Moths of Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge
U.S. FishFish & & Wildlife Wildlife Service Service Moths of Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge Established in 1994, the 25,000-acre Givira arbeloides Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge Prionoxystus robiniae is a remnant of what was once a much Carpenterworm Moth larger, frequently flooded, bottomland hardwood forest. You are still able to Crambid Snout Moths (Crambidae) view vast expanses of ridge and swale Achyra rantalis floodplain features, numerous bayous, Garden Webworm Moth oxbow lakes, and cypress/tupelo swamps Aethiophysa invisalis along the Trinity River. It is one of Argyria lacteella only 14 priority-one bottomland sites Milky Urola Moth identified for protection in the Texas Carectocultus perstrialis Bottomland Protection Plan. Texas is Reed-boring Crambid Moth home to an estimated 4,000 species of Chalcoela iphitalis moths. Most of the nearly 400 species of Sooty-winged Chalcoela moths listed below were photographed Chrysendeton medicinalis around the security lights at the Refuge Bold Medicine Moth Headquarters building located adjacent Colomychus talis to a bottomland hardwood forest. Many Distinguished Colomychus more moths are not even attracted to Conchylodes ovulalis lights, so additional surveys will need Zebra Conchylodes to be conducted to document those Crambus agitatellus species. These forests also support a Double-banded Grass-veneer wide diversity of mammals, reptiles, Crambus satrapellus amphibians, and fish with many feeding Crocidophora tuberculalis on moths or their larvae.

OMMEN JENNIFER RUHLE May, 26, 2020 Via: email ([email protected]) Mr. Kenneth Kovalchik Town of Guilderland Planning Board 5209 Western Turnpike Guilderland, NY 12084 Re: The Environmental Impact Statement for the Rapp Road Residential/Western Avenue Mixed Use Redevelopment Projects Dear Mr. Kovalchik, The Pace Environmental Litigation Clinic submits the following comments on behalf of our client, Save the Pine Bush in response to the proposed Draft Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”) on the Rapp Road Residential/Western Avenue Mixed Use Redevelopment Projects (“The Project”) submitted to the Town of Guilderland’s Planning Board on February 19, 2020, by the project sponsor Rapp Road Development, LLC. Collectively, Commenters represent over 690 members and online activists in New York State. The project sponsor has made it painfully clear they do not care about the protecting the unique Albany Pine Bush Environment. The EIS is woefully deficient in methodology, containing almost no substantive scientific proof to support their sweeping conclusions that support their baseless claims. The project proponent on March 26, blatantly violated the SEQRA process by clear-cutting almost the entirety of site 2. This was clearly an attempt to cut down the trees on the site before the April 1, moratorium on tree cutting due to northern long-eared bat roosting. Thereby, the project proponent violated one environmental regulation to evade another environmental regulation. Lastly, it was discovered that the project sponsor did not include an important wetland report that the EIS relied on for its conclusions. -
