  • Rare Vascular Plant Surveys in the Polletts Cove and Lahave River Areas of Nova Scotia
    Rare Vascular Plant Surveys in the Polletts Cove and LaHave River areas of Nova Scotia David Mazerolle, Sean Blaney and Alain Belliveau Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre November 2014 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project was funded by the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources, through their Species at Risk Conservation Fund. The Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre appreciates the opportunity provided by the fund to have visited these botanically significant areas. We also thank Sean Basquill for mapping, fieldwork and good company on our Polletts Cove trip, and Cape Breton Highlands National Park for assistance with vehicle transportation at the start of that trip. PHOTOGRAPHY CREDITS All photographs included in this report were taken by the authors. 1 INTRODUCTION This project, funded by the Nova Scotia Species at Risk Conservation Fund, focused on two areas of high potential for rare plant occurrence: 1) the Polletts Cove and Blair River system in northern Cape Breton, covered over eight AC CDC botanist field days; and 2) the lower, non-tidal 29 km and selected tidal portions of the LaHave River in Lunenburg County, covered over 12 AC CDC botanist field days. The Cape Breton Highlands support a diverse array of provincially rare plants, many with Arctic or western affinity, on cliffs, river shores, and mature deciduous forests in the deep ravines (especially those with more calcareous bedrock and/or soil) and on the peatlands and barrens of the highland plateau. Recent AC CDC fieldwork on Lockhart Brook, Big Southwest Brook and the North Aspy River sites similar to the Polletts Cove and Blair River valley was very successful, documenting 477 records of 52 provincially rare plant species in only five days of fieldwork.

Together they comprise about 133,000 acres (540 km2), including 37 miles of coast line. Almost half of the remaining old growth redwood forests Blechnaceae – Deer Fern Family are protected in these four parks.

The genus Gali urn, a member of the Madder family (Rubiaceae), is world-wide in its distribution and includes approximately two hundred and fifty species. Ten species of Galium were enumerated by R. I. Cratty 1 in his annotated list of Iowa flora. Two new species, four varieties and three forms have since been reported for the state. The present study of the genus was undertaken with two objects in view: first, to clarify our understanding of the species found in Iowa, many of these specimens having been incorrectly named, and second, to incorporate the several name changes since the last edition of Gray's2 Manual ( 1908), five of which involve Iowa species.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Although much of the San Francisco Bay Region is densely populated and industrialized, many thousands of acres within its confines have been set aside as parks and preserves. Most of these tracts were not rescued until after they had been altered. The construction of roads, the modification of drainage patterns, grazing by livestock, and the introduction of aggressive species are just a few of the factors that have initiated irreversible changes in the region’s plant and animal life. Yet on the slopes of Mount Diablo and Mount Tamal- pais, in the redwood groves at Muir Woods, and in some of the regional parks one can find habitats that probably resemble those that were present two hundred years ago. Even tracts that are far from pristine have much that will bring pleasure to those who enjoy the study of nature. Visitors to our region soon discover that the area is diverse in topography, geology, cli- mate, and vegetation. Hills, valleys, wetlands, and the seacoast are just some of the situa- tions that will have one or more well-defined assemblages of plants. In this manual, the San Francisco Bay Region is defined as those counties that touch San Francisco Bay. Reading a map clockwise from Marin County, they are Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Solano, Contra Costa, Alameda, Santa Clara, San Mateo, and San Francisco. This book will also be useful in bordering counties, such as Mendocino, Lake, Santa Cruz, Monterey, and San Benito, because many of the plants dealt with occur farther north, east, and south. For example, this book includes about three-quarters of the plants found in Monterey County and about half of the Mendocino flora.

  • A Recovery Strategy for Tall Bugbane (Cimicifuga Elata) in Canada
    A Recovery Strategy for Tall Bugbane (Cimicifuga elata) in Canada. Prepared by Brian Klinkenberg and Rose Klinkenberg for The Tall Bugbane Recovery Team and the BC Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection March 31, 2003 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Cimicifuga elata is a rare herbaceous species in the Ranunculaceae that is endemic to the Pacific Northwest of North America, where it is presently known from Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. In Canada it is known only from the Chilliwack River Valley drainage in British Columbia. Throughout its range, it occurs in small numbers in scattered populations in mature or old-growth mixed forests dominated by red cedar-hemlock forest with associated big-leaf maple. It occurs predominantly on north-facing slopes, where it occupies mesic to wet mesic sites near creeks or seeps, sometimes in close proximity to Mountain Beaver. The biological factors that limit the prevalence of this species include its occurrence in Canada at the northern tip of its range (climatic factors), its natural rarity in the landscape throughout that range, its occurrence in small, isolated populations, the lack of genetic exchange between populations, pollinator dependence, herbivory, and limited dispersal mechanisms. Anthropogenic factors that influence its abundance in the landscape include fire suppression and forest management activities. In assessing the potential strategies for recovery for this species, we have considered the various ecological principles and issues that may apply, such as metapopulation dynamics, conservation genetics, the ecology of rarity, influences of herbivory and the effects of pollinator limitation. We have also considered the historical occurrence of the species, and the factors that have influenced its current distribution.

  • A University Thesis Presented to the Faculty
    ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF VIRUS-LIKE PARTICLES FROM LILIACEAE __________________ A University Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, East Bay __________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Biology __________________ By Anna-Louise Doss December, 2013 ! ! "! ! Abstract Transposable elements are mobile genetic elements that have the ability to replicate and relocate to different positions in the genome of a cell. These elements are ubiquitous in the genomes of all eukaryotic organisms and are credited with being the source of the vast variation in genome size among related organisms, such as angiosperms, which can differ in genome size by as much as 1000-fold. Retroelements in particular are very predominant in angiosperms and have been shown to account for anywhere from 30% to 90% of the genome. The massive genomes that are common in the Liliaceae family (mean C value of 50 pg) are extreme examples of retroelement proliferation. The Family Liliaceae provides a good model system for studying the mechanisms utilized by transposable elements to proliferate and evade host defenses, and for studying the impact transposable elements have on the evolution of genomes. However, due to their large genome size and the vast prevalence of repetitive DNA, members of the Liliaceae have not yet been fully sequenced nor have their transposable elements been fully characterized. In addition, there has been no attempt to isolate and characterize active retroelements from Liliaceae species in the form of virus-like particles. This thesis research will utilize and modify existing virus-like particle isolation techniques for retroelement isolation and characterization using barley as a model plant.
