  • Ecological Role of Dry-Habitat Chimpanzees (Pan Troglodytes Schweinfurthii)
    Ecological Role of Dry-Habitat Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) at Issa, Ugalla, Tanzania by Samantha M. Russak A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved April 2013 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Kaye Reed, Chair Gary Schwartz Leanne Nash ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2013 ABSTRACT Identifying the ecological role, or niche, that a species occupies within their larger community elucidates environmental adaptability and evolutionary success. This dissertation investigates the occupied niche of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) living in an open, dry savanna-woodland environment by examining patterns of resource use and interspecific interactions. Data were collected October 2010—November 2011 at Issa, in the Ugalla region of western Tanzania, which is one of the driest, most open, and seasonal habitats inhabited by chimpanzees. Unlike most primatological studies which employ methods that include focal follows, this study focused instead on observing ‘resource patches’ for chimpanzees. Patch focals allow for the observation of all animals within a study area; capture resources that are not used by the study species; and are particularly well suited for unhabituated communities. In order to better understand relationships between environment and behavior, data collected at Issa are compared with published data from other chimpanzee populations. Issa chimpanzees were expected to have broader resource use than forest chimpanzees, as well as increased competition with other fauna, due to fewer available resources. However, in contrast to the assumption of food scarcity in dry habitats, dietary resources were available throughout the year. Like other populations, the diet of Issa chimpanzees consisted of mostly fruit, but unlike at other sites, the majority of plants consumed were woodland species.

Also included are observations not found in earlier lists. The current checklist contains names from Fagerlund and Mitchell (1944) , Fagerlund (1947), Stone (1959), Doty and Mueller-Dambois (1966), and Fosberg (1975), as well as listings taken fram collections in the Research Herbarium of HAVO and from studies of specific areas in the Park. The current existence in the Park of many of the listed taxa has not been confirmed (particularly ornamentals and ruderals). Plants listed by previous authors were generally accepted and included even if their location in HAVO is unknown to the present authors. Exceptions are a few native species erroneously included on previous HAVO checklists, but now known to be based on collections from elsewhere on the Island. Other omissions on the current list are plant names considered by St. John (1973) to be synonyms of other listed taxa. The most recent comprehensive vascular plant list for HAVO was done in 1966 (Ihty and Mueller-Dombois 1966). In the 22 years since then, changes in the Park boundaries as well as growth in botanical knowledge of the area have necessitated an updated checklist.

  • Abundance, Richness and Diversity of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Associated with Different Grass Species in Semiarid Region

In arid and semi-arid regions, grasses are more dominated in rangelands and highly dependent on mycorrhization. Root and rhizosphere soil of fifteen grass species were collected to study at Jhansi the root colonization and AM fungal spore population structure. The potential of AM fungal root colonization varied between highest 85.5 percent in Cenchrus ciliaris to lowest 16 percent in Paspalum notatum. AM fungal spore abundance (2394.1/ 100 g rhizosphere soil) was observed with grass species C. ciliaris. A total of 9 AM fungal species isolated and identified. Genus Glomus was the most abundant genus in all selected grass species. There is no clear relationship between root colonization potential and AM fungal spore abundance. All the grass species showed higher AM fungal diversity in their rhizosphere soil. It is clear from this study that grass species are dependent on AM fungal association and had species diversity in the natural ecosystem. Diversity and evenness in AM fungi across the grass species rhizosphere had no any significant relation, however, grass species had higher AM fungi species richness showed less evenness.

North American Wild Relatives of Grain Crops Abstract The wild-growing relatives of the grain crops are useful for long-term worldwide crop improvement research. There are neglected examples that should be accessioned as living seeds in gene banks. Some of the grain crops, amaranth, barnyard millet, proso millet, quinoa, and foxtail millet, have understudied unique and potentially useful crop wild relatives in North America. Other grain crops, barley, buckwheat, and oats, have fewer relatives in North America that are mostly weeds from other continents with more diverse crop wild relatives. The expanding abilities of genomic science are a reason to accession the wild species since there are improved ways to study evolution within genera and make use of wide gene pools.

Email: [email protected] Abstract – Populations of 103 weeds are currently established in the Pilbara, comprising 6.3% of the region’s fl ora; 19 are here newly recorded since the previous listing in 2004. Most originated in tropical Africa, America or Asia and were introduced intentionally as garden, amenity or fodder plants. Most are annual or perennial herbs with small seeds usually dispersed in soil, machinery, wind and water. Fourteen species affect the region at a landscape scale by altering fi re patterns, modifying soil characteristics or competing directly with native species. Another 15 species signifi cantly modify particular habitats such as wetlands, 6 are major threats to islands and a further 16 have potential threat to Pilbara environments.
