VanDerwarker __________________________________________ Lynn H. Gamble __________________________________________ Michael A. Glassow, Committee Chair July 2015 Ancient Plant Use and the Importance of Geophytes among the Island Chumash of Santa Cruz Island, California Copyright © 2015 By Kristina Marie Gill iii DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to my Family, Mike Glassow, and the Chumash People. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to many people who have provided guidance, encouragement, and support in my career as an archaeologist, and especially through my undergraduate and graduate studies. For those of whom I am unable to personally thank here, know that I deeply appreciate your support. First and foremost, I want to thank my chair Michael Glassow for his patience, enthusiasm, and encouragement during all aspects of this daunting project. I am also truly grateful to have had the opportunity to know, learn from, and work with my other committee members, Mike Jochim, Amber VanDerwarker, and Lynn Gamble. I cherish my various field experiences with them all on the Channel Islands and especially in southern Germany with Mike Jochim, whose worldly perspective I value deeply. I also thank Terry Jones, who provided me many undergraduate opportunities in California archaeology and encouraged me to attend a field school on San Clemente Island with Mark Raab and Andy Yatsko, an experience that left me captivated with the islands and their history. I thank Jan Timbrook for sparking my interest in ancient plant use, and Eric Wohlgemuth for setting me on the right track with California paleoethnobotany. Eric’s guidance, encouragement, and openness in teaching me flotation methods, identifications, and talking about ancient plant use in California have been critical. The field aspect of my research was logistically challenging, and I am grateful to the many people who schlepped themselves, equipment, and samples uphill (both ways) on the steep, rugged slopes of the northern range: 2008 Cal Poly Field Class, Dan Avera, Suzie Black, Kelli Brasket, Henry Chodsky, Aaron Elzinga, Jon Erlandson, Mike Glassow, Tim Gross, Stephen Henneck, Kristin Hoppa, Chris Jazwa, Terry Joslin, Erin King, Amber Marie v Madrid, Dusty McKenzie, Christina Navarro, Sarah (Mellinger) Nicchitta, Jessica Peak, Jenn Perry, Tim Slowik, Michelle Wilcox, and Eric Wohlgemuth. I also want to thank Jay Carlson, David Dewey, John Knapp, and the ProHunt helicopter crew for graciously moving the last ton of soil samples from Diablo Valdez to a location accessible by vehicle. Island research would also not be possible without the amazing crew at Island Packers, who have always graciously transported our equipment and “boxes of rocks” back to the mainland. Thanks especially to Jean Scholes and Captain Dave, whose enthusiasm and knowledge about the Channel region is magnetic. Numerous undergraduate students and volunteers helped me in the lab over the years, and I cannot thank them enough for their hard work, long hours, and attention to detail. I especially want to thank Kelsey Sullivan for her assistance with lithics, Chelsea Buell for her assistance with bone, and three women who assisted with paleoethnobotanical lab work: Jennifer Alvarado, Michelle Wilcox, and my mom, Peggy Gill. I am also grateful to The Nature Conservancy and the UC Natural Reserve System for facilitating this research and providing outstanding opportunities for field scientists. The invaluable conversations, interactions, and friendships I’ve made with various island research scientists and staff contributed greatly to my deeper understanding and appreciation of the unique ecology of the Channel Islands. Thanks especially to: TNC’s Jennifer Baker, Christy Boser, Jay Carlson, David Dewey, John Knapp, Scott Morrison, and John Randall; the UC Reserve’s Brian Guerrero and Lyndal Laughrin; and, Sara Baguskas, Todd Braje, Karen Flagg, Don Hartley, Steve Junak, Ken Niessen, Seetha Reddy, Torrey Rick, and Nicole Swabey. vi This research would not have been possible without the financial support I received from various agencies: the National Science Foundation (BCS 1232523), the Peter Paige Memorial Fund through UC Santa Barbara’s Anthropology Department, the Mildred E Mathias Foundation through the UC Natural Reserve System, and The Nature Conservancy. I thank the Chumash people, especially John Ruiz, Julie Tumamait, and Gil Unzueta, for sharing their wisdom, insight, and perspectives. I am honored to work in their homeland. Finally, I thank my close friends and family, who have supported me in various ways through all aspects of this project. To the archaeology crew, whose friendship and camaraderie I am so grateful for, and with whom I anticipate a dirt-ridden future and good times yet to be had: Amira Ainis, Dana Bardolph, Ethan Bertrando, Kelli Brasket, Amy Gusick, Kristin Hoppa, Laura Hoffman, Allison Jaqua, Chris Jazwa, Terry Joslin, Erin King, Amber Marie Madrid, Dusty McKenzie, Jenn Perry, Tim Slowik, and Michelle Wilcox. To my non-archaeology friends, especially Katie Drexhage, Jessica Peak, and Juanie Storrer, who helped keep me sane and entertained, as well as bringing some biology/botany balance to my life. To my always loving, supportive, and patient family, especially my parents, Dave and Peggy, and my sister Dana. Last but not least, I thank my husband and favorite person to work with on (and off) the islands, Jon Erlandson. vii CURRICULUM VITA OF KRISTINA M.

  • Malosma Laurina (Nutt.) Nutt. Ex Abrams
    I. SPECIES Malosma laurina (Nutt.) Nutt. ex Abrams NRCS CODE: Family: Anacardiaceae MALA6 Subfamily: Anacardiodeae Order: Sapindales Subclass: Rosidae Class: Magnoliopsida Immature fruits are green to red in mid-summer. Plants tend to flower in May to June. A. Subspecific taxa none B. Synonyms Rhus laurina Nutt. (USDA PLANTS 2017) C. Common name laurel sumac (McMinn 1939, Calflora 2016) There is only one species of Malosma. Phylogenetic analyses based on molecular data and a combination of D. Taxonomic relationships molecular and structural data place Malosma as distinct but related to both Toxicodendron and Rhus (Miller et al. 2001, Yi et al. 2004, Andrés-Hernández et al. 2014). E. Related taxa in region Rhus ovata and Rhus integrifolia may be the closest relatives and laurel sumac co-occurs with both species. Very early, Malosma was separated out of the genus Rhus in part because it has smaller fruits and lacks the following traits possessed by all species of Rhus : red-glandular hairs on the fruits and axis of the inflorescence, hairs on sepal margins, and glands on the leaf blades (Barkley 1937, Andrés-Hernández et al. 2014). F. Taxonomic issues none G. Other The name Malosma refers to the strong odor of the plant (Miller & Wilken 2017). The odor of the crushed leaves has been described as apple-like, but some think the smell is more like bitter almonds (Allen & Roberts 2013). The leaves are similar to those of the laurel tree and many others in family Lauraceae, hence the specific epithet "laurina." Montgomery & Cheo (1971) found time to ignition for dried leaf blades of laurel sumac to be intermediate and similar to scrub oak, Prunus ilicifolia, and Rhamnus crocea; faster than Heteromeles arbutifolia, Arctostaphylos densiflora, and Rhus ovata; and slower than Salvia mellifera.

  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

  • GENOME EVOLUTION in MONOCOTS a Dissertation
    GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School At the University of Missouri In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Kate L. Hertweck Dr. J. Chris Pires, Dissertation Advisor JULY 2011 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS Presented by Kate L. Hertweck A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Dr. J. Chris Pires Dr. Lori Eggert Dr. Candace Galen Dr. Rose‐Marie Muzika ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to many people for their assistance during the course of my graduate education. I would not have derived such a keen understanding of the learning process without the tutelage of Dr. Sandi Abell. Members of the Pires lab provided prolific support in improving lab techniques, computational analysis, greenhouse maintenance, and writing support. Team Monocot, including Dr. Mike Kinney, Dr. Roxi Steele, and Erica Wheeler were particularly helpful, but other lab members working on Brassicaceae (Dr. Zhiyong Xiong, Dr. Maqsood Rehman, Pat Edger, Tatiana Arias, Dustin Mayfield) all provided vital support as well. I am also grateful for the support of a high school student, Cady Anderson, and an undergraduate, Tori Docktor, for their assistance in laboratory procedures. Many people, scientist and otherwise, helped with field collections: Dr. Travis Columbus, Hester Bell, Doug and Judy McGoon, Julie Ketner, Katy Klymus, and William Alexander. Many thanks to Barb Sonderman for taking care of my greenhouse collection of many odd plants brought back from the field.
