Gutachterin: Prof. Dr. Monika Hilker Tag der Ersteinreichung: 21.10.2011 Tag der Zweiteinreichung: 21.06.2012 Disputation am: 16.08.2012 Danksagung Mein besonderer Dank gilt Herrn Prof. Dr. Eckart Eich für die Überlassung des Themas, die Bereitstellung des Pflanzenmaterials sowie des Saatguts für den Anbau im institutseigenen Gewächshaus und im Wirtschaftshof des Botanischen Garten. Dankenswerterweise durfte ich auch einige seiner fachkundigen Photographien von Convolvulaceae in dieser Arbeit verwenden. Ich danke ihm für die Betreuung meines Dissertationsvorhabens und die wertvollen fachlichen Gespräche. Ausdrücklich möchte ich mich dafür bedanken, daß er die Beendigung meines Dissertationsverfahren auch als Emeritus unterstützt hat. Frau Priv.-Doz.

Mabry1,2 and Michael G. Simpson1 1Department of Biology, San Diego State University, San Diego, California 92182, U. S. A. 2Current address: Division of Biological Sciences and Bond Life Sciences Center, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri 65211, U. S. A. Authors for correspondence ([email protected]; [email protected]) Abstract—Cryptantha, an herbaceous plant genus of the Boraginaceae, subtribe Amsinckiinae, has an American amphitropical disjunct distri- bution, found in western North America and western South America, but not in the intervening tropics. In a previous study, Cryptantha was found to be polyphyletic and was split into five genera, including a weakly supported, potentially non-monophyletic Cryptantha s. s. In this and subsequent studies of the Amsinckiinae, interrelationships within Cryptantha were generally not strongly supported and sample size was generally low. Here we analyze a greatly increased sampling of Cryptantha taxa using high-throughput, genome skimming data, in which we obtained the complete ribosomal cistron, the nearly complete chloroplast genome, and twenty-three mitochondrial genes. Our analyses have allowed for inference of clades within this complex with strong support. The occurrence of a non-monophyletic Cryptantha is confirmed, with three major clades obtained, termed here the Johnstonella/Albidae clade, the Maritimae clade, and a large Cryptantha core clade, each strongly supported as monophyletic. From these phylogenomic analyses, we assess the classification, character evolution, and phylogeographic history that elucidates the current amphitropical distribution of the group.

Mr. O’Connell discussed the 8 importance of considering the western bumble bee. Ms. Flannery discussed the 9 importance of the hard ocean floor substrate and asked how the cable would be secured 10 to the ocean floor to reduce or eliminate scour. The western bumble bee has been 11 evaluated in the Biological Resources section of the main document, and direct and 12 indirect impacts are avoided. The Project Description describes in detail how the cable 13 would be installed on the ocean floor, the importance of the hard bottom substrate, and 14 the need for avoidance. 15 Consultation Outcomes: 16 • The Project was designed to avoid hard bottom substrate, and RTI Infrastructure 17 (RTI) conducted surveys of the ocean floor to ensure that proper routing of the 18 cable would occur. 19 • Ms. Flannery will be copied on all communications with the National Marine 20 Fisheries Service 21 California Department of Fish and Wildlife: On August 7, 2020, ICF held a conference 22 call with Greg O’Connell to discuss a site assessment and survey approach for the 23 western bumble bee.

  • BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION on the TIWI ISLANDS, NORTHERN TERRITORY: Part 1. Environments and Plants
    BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION ON THE TIWI ISLANDS, NORTHERN TERRITORY: Part 1. Environments and plants Report prepared by John Woinarski, Kym Brennan, Ian Cowie, Raelee Kerrigan and Craig Hempel. Darwin, August 2003 Cover photo: Tall forests dominated by Darwin stringybark Eucalyptus tetrodonta, Darwin woollybutt E. miniata and Melville Island Bloodwood Corymbia nesophila are the principal landscape element across the Tiwi islands (photo: Craig Hempel). i SUMMARY The Tiwi Islands comprise two of Australia’s largest offshore islands - Bathurst (with an area of 1693 km 2) and Melville (5788 km 2) Islands. These are Aboriginal lands lying about 20 km to the north of Darwin, Northern Territory. The islands are of generally low relief with relatively simple geological patterning. They have the highest rainfall in the Northern Territory (to about 2000 mm annual average rainfall in the far north-west of Melville and north of Bathurst). The human population of about 2000 people lives mainly in the three towns of Nguiu, Milakapati and Pirlangimpi. Tall forests dominated by Eucalyptus miniata, E. tetrodonta, and Corymbia nesophila cover about 75% of the island area. These include the best developed eucalypt forests in the Northern Territory. The Tiwi Islands also include nearly 1300 rainforest patches, with floristic composition in many of these patches distinct from that of the Northern Territory mainland. Although the total extent of rainforest on the Tiwi Islands is small (around 160 km 2 ), at an NT level this makes up an unusually high proportion of the landscape and comprises between 6 and 15% of the total NT rainforest extent. The Tiwi Islands also include nearly 200 km 2 of “treeless plains”, a vegetation type largely restricted to these islands.

Towards this end, tree diversity, population structure and their relation to site disturbances were studied in five replicate stands each of sacred forests and reference reserve forests in southern Eastern Ghats of Andhra Pradesh. In each of the study sites, two belt transects of size 5 x 1000 m were laid down randomly for assessing tree species. A total of 7836 trees belonging to 158 species were inventoried in all the stands. The stands in the sacred forests were more diverse, had higher basal area, and showed fewer signs of disturbance than the reference forest stands, supporting the view that local communities afford better protection and management to sacred groves. We suggest that the long-term sustenance of biodiversity in sacred forest sites require an integrated approach involving local communities as well the government sector. Resumen: Pusimos a prueba la creencia generalizada de que los bosques sagrados están mejor manejados que las reservas forestales.

  • Classification of Convolvulaceae: a Phylogenetic Approach

OLMSTEAD1 1Department of Botany, University of Washington, Box 355325, Seattle, Washington 98195-5325; 2Conservation and Science Department, Sonora Desert Museum, 2021 N Kinney Road, Tucson, Arizona 85743; 3Author for correspondence, present address: Department of Biology, Indiana University, 1001 E. Third Street, Bloomington, Indiana, 47405 ([email protected]) Communicating Editor: Paul S. Manos ABSTRACT. Because recent molecular studies, based on multiple data sets from all three plant genomes, have indicated mutually congruent, well-resolved, and well-supported relationships within Convolvulaceae (the morning-glory family), a formal reclassi®cation of this family is presented here. Convolvulaceae, a large family of worldwide distribution, exhibiting a rich diversity of morphological characteristics and ecological habitats, are now circumscribed within twelve tribes. A key to these tribes of Convolvulaceae is offered. The group of spiny-pollen bearing Convolvulaceae (forming ``Echinoconiae'') and tribe Cuscuteae are retained essentially in their traditional sense, Cresseae are circumscribed with only minor modi®- cations, Convolvuleae and Erycibeae are recognized in a restricted sense, while Dichondreae and Maripeae are expanded. Also, to produce a tribal taxonomy that better re¯ects phylogenetic relationships, the concept of Poraneae is abandoned as arti®cial, three new tribes are recognized (Aniseieae, Cardiochlamyeae, and Jacquemontieae), and a new tribal status is proposed for the Malagasy endemic Humbertia (Humbertieae). ``Merremieae'' are tentatively retained even though the mono- phyly of this tribe is not certain.

HANSON Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden Claremont, California 91711 ABSTRACf Quantitative and qualitative features of wood and stem anatomy are presented for 44 collections of 16 genera and 35 species ofConvolvulaceae. Markedly furrowed xylem characterizes the genera of tribe Cresseae. Successive cambia occur in 11 of the genera studied. Large patches of axial parenchyma occur in many of these; only in one species was interxylary phloem (formed internally by the cambium) observed in the parenchyma patches. Intraxylary phloem at the periphery of the pith is universal in Convolvulaceae, but newly reported is the fact that in many species, cambial activity adds secondary phloem to the intraxylary phloem strands. These cambia were also observed to add limited amounts of secondary xylem externally in Ericybe and Operculina.
