  • Grizzly Bear Scientific Name: Ursus Arctos Species Code: M-URAR Status
    Grizzly Bear Scientific Name: Ursus arctos Species Code: M-URAR Status: Blue-listed Distribution • Provincial Range Grizzly bears are distributed throughout most of the mainland of the province. They are absent from Vancouver Island, the Queen Charlotte Islands and outer coastal islands. They occur in all biogeoclimatic zones in the province, except the Coastal Douglas Fir zone (CDF). They utilize a wide variety of habitats ranging from coastal estuaries to alpine meadows. • Elevational Range: Sea-Level to Alpine • Provincial Context Grizzly bears are most abundant in the coastal ecosystems and in areas in the southern Rocky Mountains (Flathead area and Glacier National Park). The current population estimate for grizzly bears in British Columbia is approximately 13,000 (Fuhr and Demarchi 1990). • Range in Project Area: Ecoprovince: Southern Interior Mountains Ecoregions: Columbia Mountains and Highlands, Southern Rocky Mountain Trench, Western Continental Ranges Ecosections: Eastern Purcell Mountains, East Kootenay Trench, Southern Park Ranges Biogeoclimatic Zones: IDFdm2; MSdk; ESSFdk, ESSFdku; ESSFdkp; ESSFwm; AT Ecology and Key Habitat Requirements Habitat use by grizzly bears is influenced primarily by food availability, the presence of suitable resting, denning and mating sites, the presence of other bears and by human development. They are very adaptable and inhabit a wide variety of habitat types from coastal coniferous forests through boreal forests to alpine/subalpine meadows and alpine tundra. Grizzly bears are omnivorous and opportunistic in their feeding habits. In late spring and early summer, the bulk of their diet is green leafy material. They will also feed on insects, fruits, berries, fish, carrion and small and large mammals.

GREMILLION Department of Anthropology The Ohio Stute University Columbus, OH 43210-1364 ABSTRACf.-A large body of data on several key morphological characters has been compiled through examination of collections of archaeological Chenopodium from eastern North America. Contrary to expectations based on change in certain other seed crops, the patterns of variation observed in Chenopodium do not reflect a gradual evolution of seed morphology away from the wild type. Evidence for decreasing levels of morphological variability in the evolving domesticate is like­ wise minimal. These findings demonstrate that the rate and character of crop evolution as revealed in the archaeological record can be expected to vary consid­ erably among taxa.

Plant height, number of leaves per plant, shoot fresh weight, root fresh weight, shoot dry weight and root dry weight were determined. Results indicated that the E-175 genotype belonging to Heli- anthus annuus was less affected by water stress conditions as compared to the other genotypes. Helianthus petiolaris spp. petiolaris (E-142) showed the highest sensitivity and had the lowest fresh and dry masses under drought conditions. In addition, this study showed that the number of leaves and root weight were the best selection criteria to determine drought resistance at the early vegetative stage. Water losses of the resistant genotypes in their roots and shoots in drought stress conditions were more than those of the sensitive geno- types. Key words: Helianthus, H. petiolaris, H. neglectus, H. anuus, drought INTRODUCTION Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is one of the most important oil crops in the world.

The usefulness of random amplified microsatellite polymorphism markers to study the genetic diversity and relationships among cultivars belonging to Prunus salicina and P. domestica and their wild relatives (P. insititia and P. spinosa) was investigated. A total of 226 of 234 bands were polymorphic (96.58%). The 226 random amplified microsatellite polymorphism markers were screened using 15 random amplified polymorphic DNA and inter-simple sequence repeat primers combinations for 54 Tunisian plum accessions. The percentage of polymorphic bands (96.58%), the resolving power of primers values (135.70), and the polymorphic information content demonstrated the efficiency of the primers used in this study. The genetic distances between accessions ranged from 0.18 to 0.79 with a mean of 0.24, suggesting a high level of genetic diversity at the intra- and interspecific levels.

  • Plums on the Prairies by Rick Sawatzky
    Plums on the Prairies by Rick Sawatzky Information from Literature Much has been published about pollination, pollinators, pollinizers, fertilization and fruit set in text books and periodicals. The definitions are not difficult. Pollination is the movement of pollen among compatible flowering plants (cross-pollination) or from anthers to stigmas on the same plant or different plants of the same clone (self-pollination). Many plants will self-pollinate but set very few fruit; some authors consider them self- pollinating but they are definitely not self-fruitful. Self-fruitful plants (and clones) set a crop of fruit after self-pollination; some of these plants bear fruit with no seeds (parthenocarpy); others develop seeds with embryos that are genetically identical to the parent plant (apomixis); and others produce haploid seeds that develop from an unfertilized egg cell. (When haploid seeds germinate they are very weak seedlings with only half the chromosomes of normal seedlings.) Regarding temperate zone tree fruits, self-pollination and fruit set does not mean self-fertility and the development of normal seeds. Many temperate zone small fruit species (e.g. strawberries and raspberries) are self-fertile and develop maximum yields of fruit with normal seeds as the result of self-pollination by insects. Pollinators, usually insects, are vectors of pollen movement. Pollinizers are plants which provide the appropriate pollen for other plants. Fertilization is the process in which gametes from the pollen unite with egg cells in the ovary of the flower. Normal seeds are usually the result of this process. Also, the principles are easily understood. Poor fertilization in plums and other Prunus species results in a poor fruit set.

In nomenclatural citations (only), book titles are rendered in the abbreviated forms recommended in F. A. Stafleu and R. S. Cowan (1976–1988) and F. A. Stafleu and E. A. Mennega (1992+). Here, those abbreviated forms are indicated parenthetically following the full citations of the corresponding works, and cross references to the full citations are interpolated in the list alphabetically by abbreviated form. Two or more works published in the same year by the same author or group of coauthors will be distinguished uniquely and consistently throughout all volumes of Flora of North America by lower-case letters (b, c, d, ...) suffixed to the date for the second and subsequent works in the set. The suffixes are assigned in order of editorial encounter and do not reflect chronological sequence of publication. The first work by any particular author or group from any given year carries the implicit date suffix “a”; thus, the sequence of explicit suffixes begins with “b”. Works missing from any suffixed sequence here are ones cited elsewhere in the Flora that are not pertinent in these volumes.
