A Chronology of Middle Missouri Plains Village Sites
Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press smithsonian contributions to botany • n u m b e r 9 2 Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press TaxonomicA Chronology Revision of of the MiddleChiliotrichum Missouri Group Plains Villagesensu stricto Sites (Compositae: Astereae) By Craig M. Johnson Joséwith Mauricio contributions Bonifacino by Stanley A. Ahler, Herbert Haas, and Georges Bonani SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of “diffusing knowledge” was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: “It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge.” This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com- mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions in History and Technology Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Museum Conservation Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report on the research and collections of its various museums and bureaus. The Smithsonian Contributions Series are distributed via mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institu- tions throughout the world. Manuscripts submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press from authors with direct affilia- tion with the various Smithsonian museums or bureaus and are subject to peer review and review for compliance with manuscript preparation guidelines. -

Day 1 Thursday 21st January Costanera Sur, Buenos Aires, Argentina After an overnight flight from Heathrow we arrived in Buenos Aires where we were met by David and Paul. We boarded four coaches to reach our next airport, but en route we stopped for lunch at a wonderful wetland reserve called Costanera Sur. The water was filled with a bewildering variety of waterbirds: Coscoroba Swans, Southern Screamers, Silver Teals, Rosybills, White-tufted Grebes, Red-gartered Coots, Wattled Jacanas, Limpkins, Giant Wood Rail, Rufescent Tiger Heron and a tiny Stripe-backed Bittern. -

Chiliotrichum diffusum (Asteraceae), “mata negra”, habita el sur de Argentina. Se han des- cripto usos étnicos rituales y medicinales de la especie. Las partes aéreas evidenciaron la presencia de fla- vonoides, taninos, hidratos de carbono, proteínas, antraquinonas, saponinas, cianoglicósidos y esteroides. El análisis de los flavonoides demostró una importante variabilidad estructural. Los grupos de flavonoides detectados fueron principalmente flavonas y flavonoles 7-O-glicosilados, dihidroflavonoles e isoflavonas. El extracto alcohólico y sus fracciones, mostraron actividad frente al bioensayo de citotoxicidad de la Arte- mia salina. La actividad antimicrobiana fue moderada frente a Staphylococcus aureus. SUMMARY. “Phytochemistry and Bioactivity of Chiliotrichum diffusum (Astereaceae), a Native Species from the Andean Patagonian”. Chiliotrichum diffusum (Asteraceae), “mata negra”, inhabits the south of Argentina. Ethnic rituals and medicinal uses have been described for this species. Flavonoids, tannins, carbohydrates, pro- teins, anthraquinones, saponins, cyanoglycosides and steroids were detected in the aerial parts. The analysis of the flavonoid fraction demonstrated an important structural variability. -
Size Class Structure, Growth Rates, and Orientation of the Central Andean Cushion Azorella Compacta
Size class structure, growth rates, and orientation of the central Andean cushion Azorella compacta Catherine Kleier1, Tim Trenary2, Eric A. Graham3, William Stenzel4 and Philip W. Rundel5 1 Department of Biology, Regis University, Denver, CO, USA 2 Department of Mathematics, Regis University, Denver, CO, USA 3 Nexleaf Analytics, Los Angeles, CA, USA 4 Department of Computer Information Systems, Metropolitan State University, Denver, CO, USA 5 Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California, Los Angeles, CA, USA ABSTRACT Azorella compacta (llareta; Apiaceae) forms dense, woody, cushions and characterizes the high elevation rocky slopes of the central Andean Altiplano. Field studies of an elevational gradient of A. compacta within Lauca National Park in northern Chile found a reverse J-shape distribution of size classes of individuals with abundant small plants at all elevations. A new elevational limit for A. compacta was established at 5,250 m. A series of cushions marked 14 years earlier showed either slight shrinkage or small degrees of growth up to 2.2 cm yr−1. Despite their irregularity in growth, cushions of A. compacta show a strong orientation, centered on a north-facing aspect and angle of about 20◦ from horizontal. This exposure to maximize solar irradiance closely matches previous observations of a population favoring north-facing slopes at a similar angle. Populations of A. compacta appear to be stable, or even expanding, with young plants abundant.

It is 13 of great importance to identify distribution patterns of soil organisms and their ecosystem functions to 14 support their conservation and policy building. This has been recently analyzed at macroecological 15 scales, but analyses at national/local scales are scarce. -

Phylogenetic relationships in Lagenophora were inferred using nuclear and plastid DNA regions. Reconstruction of spatio-temporal evolution was estimated using parsimony, Bayesian inference and likelihood methods, a Bayesian relaxed molecular clock and ancestral area and habitat reconstruc- tions. Our results support a narrow taxonomic concept of Lagenophora including only a core group of species with one clade diversifying in New Zealand and another in South America. The split between the New Zealand and South American Lagenophora dates from 11.2 Mya [6.1–17.4 95% highest posterior density (HPD)]. -
