  • Euphorbia Virgata (Leafy Spurge) Predicted Suitable Habitat Modeling
    Euphorbia virgata (Leafy Spurge) Predicted Suitable Habitat Modeling Distribution Status: Present State Rank: SNA Global Rank: GNRTNR Modeling Overview Created by: Braden Burkholder Creation Date: March 26, 2021 Evaluator: Bryce Maxell Evaluation Date: April 14, 2021 Inductive Model Goal: To predict the current distribution and relative suitability of general habitat for Euphorbia virgata at large spatial scales across its presumed current range in Montana. Inductive Model Performance: The model appears to adequately reflect the current distribution and relative suitability of general habitat for Euphorbia virgata at larger spatial scales across its presumed current range in Montana. Evaluation metrics indicate an acceptable model fit and the delineation of habitat suitability classes is well supported by the data. The model is presented as a reference, but more observation records, site-specific data, and/or other environmental layers may be needed to improve performance.

Abstract: Fusarium spp. isolated from diseased Euphorbia spp. in Europe were as- sessed for pathogenicity to North American leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula/virgata. Of the nine strains of Fusarium spp. isolated either from diseased E. stepposa or E. virgata in the Caucasus region of Russia and E. esula/virgata in southern France, respectively, all were pathogenic to leafy spurge. There were significant differences in virulence among strains. Four strains, including the two most virulent, were identified as F. ox- ysporum. Four of the five other strains were identified as F. solani and one was identified as F. proliferatum. Three of the four most virulent strains to leafy were isolated from E. stepposa. The most virulent strain was associ- ated with root damage caused by insect biological control agents, similar to a previous study on domestic strains of Fusarium spp. pathogenic to leafy spurge. Two strains identified as F.

  • Leafy Spurge in Saskatchewan1
    Reprinted with permission from: Ecological Monographs. Winter 1962. 32:1-29. Published by: University of Saskatchewan. Leafy spurge in Saskatchewan1 G. W. SELLECK, R. T. COUPLAND, and C. FRANKTON Selleck, Monsanto Chemical Company, St. Louis, Missouri. Coupland and Frankton, Plant Research Institute, Canada Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. Introduction The present interest in the study of leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula L.) has been prompted by the steady advance of this weed since its discovery in North America in 1827. The weed was not recognized in western Canada until the early part of the 20th century. Although the rate of spread has not been rapid, the methods of control used have been relatively ineffective, with the result that large areas of land have become infested. This has convinced many agriculturalists that, if unchecked, it will become a major prob- lem in western Canadian agriculture. Difficulty in control has been enhanced by lack of knowledge concerning relation to habitat and the developmental life history of leafy spurge under western Canadian conditions. The need for detailed studies of this persistent weed was realized from the findings of the Sas- katchewan Weed Survey, which was conducted during 1949-1955 concurrently with the early phases of the studies reported here. More than 9,800 acres were found to be infested in 1/3 of the settled portion of the province covered by the sur- vey. The threat from this and other persistent perennial weeds in Sas- katchewan has influenced the provincial government to provide financial assistance to rural mu- nicipalities which use approved Fig. 1. Leafy spurge growing in competition with methods in their control programs.

  • Checklist Flora of the Former Carden Township, City of Kawartha Lakes, on 2016
    Hairy Beardtongue (Penstemon hirsutus) Checklist Flora of the Former Carden Township, City of Kawartha Lakes, ON 2016 Compiled by Dale Leadbeater and Anne Barbour © 2016 Leadbeater and Barbour All Rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or database, or transmitted in any form or by any means, including photocopying, without written permission of the authors. Produced with financial assistance from The Couchiching Conservancy. The City of Kawartha Lakes Flora Project is sponsored by the Kawartha Field Naturalists based in Fenelon Falls, Ontario. In 2008, information about plants in CKL was scattered and scarce. At the urging of Michael Oldham, Biologist at the Natural Heritage Information Centre at the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Dale Leadbeater and Anne Barbour formed a committee with goals to: • Generate a list of species found in CKL and their distribution, vouchered by specimens to be housed at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, making them available for future study by the scientific community; • Improve understanding of natural heritage systems in the CKL; • Provide insight into changes in the local plant communities as a result of pressures from introduced species, climate change and population growth; and, • Publish the findings of the project . Over eight years, more than 200 volunteers and landowners collected almost 2000 voucher specimens, with the permission of landowners. Over 10,000 observations and literature records have been databased. The project has documented 150 new species of which 60 are introduced, 90 are native and one species that had never been reported in Ontario to date.
