  • Literature Cited
    Literature Cited Robert W. Kiger, Editor This is a consolidated list of all works cited in volumes 19, 20, and 21, whether as selected references, in text, or in nomenclatural contexts. In citations of articles, both here and in the taxonomic treatments, and also in nomenclatural citations, the titles of serials are rendered in the forms recommended in G. D. R. Bridson and E. R. Smith (1991). When those forms are abbre- viated, as most are, cross references to the corresponding full serial titles are interpolated here alphabetically by abbreviated form. 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.

  • Appendix A—Georgia Coastal Management Program
    Appendix A—Georgia Coastal Management Program Activities Performed Directly by the Coastal Resources Division Resource Management: The Coastal Resources Division manages marine resources by conducting research and surveys, monitoring saltwater fish stocks, enhancing marine access, constructing inshore artificial reefs, and educating coastal residents on fisheries issues. Research and monitoring activities focus on spotted sea trout and red drum. Enhancing marine access includes construction of fixed and floating docks at existing boat ramp sites, maintenance of existing boat ramps, and conversion of existing shoreside structures into public piers. Staff are actively involved in marine education with field demonstrations and presentations to school groups, civic groups, and conservation associations. Ecological Monitoring: The Coastal Resources Division monitors coastal water quality and implements the National Shellfish Sanitation Program for the State of Georgia. These responsibilities include labelling areas open and/or closed to shellfishing, analyzing water quality, educating the public on shellfishing safety issues, and implementing other programs that monitor and improve coastal water quality. While the Coastal Resources Division has always administered the Georgia Shellfish Program, implementation of a federally- approved Coastal Management Program increases funding and staff dedicated to monitoring projects. Direct Permit Authorities: The Coastal Resources Division administers several State authorities. With the approval of the

  • 1 Updates Required to Plant Systematics: A
    Updates Required to Plant Systematics: A Phylogenetic Approach, Third Edition, as a Result of Recent Publications (Updated June 13, 2014) As necessitated by recent publications, updates to the Third Edition of our textbook will be provided in this document. It is hoped that this list will facilitate the efficient incorporation new systematic information into systematic courses in which our textbook is used. Plant systematics is a dynamic field, and new information on phylogenetic relationships is constantly being published. Thus, it is not surprising that even introductory texts require constant modification in order to stay current. The updates are organized by chapter and page number. Some require only minor changes, as indicated below, while others will require more extensive modifications of the wording in the text or figures, and in such cases we have presented here only a summary of the major points. The eventual fourth edition will, of course, contain many organizational changes not treated below. Page iv: Meriania hernandii Meriania hernandoi Chapter 1.
