12. Owyhee Uplands Section
12. Owyhee Uplands Section Section Description The Owyhee Uplands Section is part of the Columbia Plateau Ecoregion. The Idaho portion, the subject of this review, comprises southwestern Idaho from the lower Payette River valley in the northwest and the Camas Prairie in the northeast, south through the Hagerman Valley and Salmon Falls Creek Drainage (Fig. 12.1, Fig. 12.2). The Owyhee Uplands spans a 1,200 to 2,561 m (4,000 to 8,402 ft) elevation range. This arid region generally receives 18 to 25 cm (7 to 10 in) of annual precipitation at lower elevations. At higher elevations, precipitation falls predominantly during the winter and often as snow. The Owyhee Uplands has the largest human population of any region in Idaho, concentrated in a portion of the section north of the Snake River—the lower Boise and lower Payette River valleys, generally referred to as the Treasure Valley. This area is characterized by urban and suburban development as well as extensive areas devoted to agricultural production of crops for both human and livestock use. Among the conservation issues in the Owyhee Uplands include the ongoing conversion of agricultural lands to urban and suburban development, which limits wildlife habitat values. In addition, the conversion of grazing land used for ranching to development likewise threatens wildlife habitat. Accordingly, the maintenance of opportunity for economically viable Lower Deep Creek, Owyhee Uplands, Idaho © 2011 Will Whelan ranching operations is an important consideration in protecting open space. The aridity of this region requires water management programs, including water storage, delivery, and regulation for agriculture, commercial, and residential uses.

Wood and Stem Anatomy of Sarcobatus (Caryophyllales): Systematic and Ecological Implications
TAXON 49- FEBRUARY 2000 27 Wood and stem anatomy of Sarcobatus (Caryophyllales): systematic and ecological implications Sherwin Carlquist’ Summary Carlquist, S.: Wood and stem anatomy of Sarcobatus (C’aryophyllales): systematic and ecological implications. — Taxon 49: 27-34. 2000. — ISSN 0040-0262. Quantitative and qualitative data are given for Sarcobatus vermiculatus (Hook.) Torr. stem anatomy in order to provide information relevant to Behnke’s segregation of Sarcobatus from Chenopodiaceae and his idea that Sarcobataceae belong in suborder Phytolaccineae rather than suborder Chenopodiineae. Sarcobatus has highly xeromorphic wood such as in xeric Chenopodiaceae (presence of vasicentric tracheids, narrow vessels, short vessel elements, numerous vessels per group, helical sculpturing of vessel walls), but these features could have evolved independently in both suborders. Nonbordered perforation plates, present in Sarcobatus, are widespread in C’aryophyllales s.str. and may prove to be a defining feature for the recently expanded Caryophyllales together with the neighbouring order Santalales. A single-layered lateral meristem occurs in genera of Chenopodiinae with successive cambia, but also in genera of Phytolaccineae. Likewise, raylessness occurs in both suborders. Stem and wood anatomy does not provide decisive evidence for placement of Sarcobatus in Phytolaccineae, but it does not provide any evidence against that treatment. Introduction Behnke’s (1997) discovery of distinctive sieve tube plastids in Sarcobatus led him to remove the genus from Chenopodiaceae. In an earlier issue of this journal, Behnke (1997) assembled much information about the genus and suggested that the new family he created, Sarcobataceae, belongs in close proximity to Phyto laccaceae. Behnke (1997) cited evidence from DNA analyses (Clement & Mabry, 1996; Downie & al., 1995, 1997) for this treatment.

WOOD ANATOMY of CHENOPODIACEAE (AMARANTHACEAE S
IAWA Journal, Vol. 33 (2), 2012: 205–232 WOOD ANATOMY OF CHENOPODIACEAE (AMARANTHACEAE s. l.) Heike Heklau1, Peter Gasson2, Fritz Schweingruber3 and Pieter Baas4 SUMMARY The wood anatomy of the Chenopodiaceae is distinctive and fairly uni- form. The secondary xylem is characterised by relatively narrow vessels (<100 µm) with mostly minute pits (<4 µm), and extremely narrow ves- sels (<10 µm intergrading with vascular tracheids in addition to “normal” vessels), short vessel elements (<270 µm), successive cambia, included phloem, thick-walled or very thick-walled fibres, which are short (<470 µm), and abundant calcium oxalate crystals. Rays are mainly observed in the tribes Atripliceae, Beteae, Camphorosmeae, Chenopodieae, Hab- litzieae and Salsoleae, while many Chenopodiaceae are rayless. The Chenopodiaceae differ from the more tropical and subtropical Amaran- thaceae s.str. especially in their shorter libriform fibres and narrower vessels. Contrary to the accepted view that the subfamily Polycnemoideae lacks anomalous thickening, we found irregular successive cambia and included phloem. They are limited to long-lived roots and stem borne roots of perennials (Nitrophila mohavensis) and to a hemicryptophyte (Polycnemum fontanesii). The Chenopodiaceae often grow in extreme habitats, and this is reflected by their wood anatomy. Among the annual species, halophytes have narrower vessels than xeric species of steppes and prairies, and than species of nitrophile ruderal sites. Key words: Chenopodiaceae, Amaranthaceae s.l., included phloem, suc- cessive cambia, anomalous secondary thickening, vessel diameter, vessel element length, ecological adaptations, xerophytes, halophytes. INTRODUCTION The Chenopodiaceae in the order Caryophyllales include annual or perennial herbs, sub- shrubs, shrubs, small trees (Haloxylon ammodendron, Suaeda monoica) and climbers (Hablitzia, Holmbergia).

The phylogeny of a phylogenetically poorly known family, Phytolaccaceae sensu lato (s.l.), was constructed for resolving conflicts concerning taxonomic delimitations. Cladistic analyses were made based on 44 sequences of the internal transcribed spacer of nuclear ribosomal DNA from 11 families (Aizoaceae, Basellaceae, Didiereaceae, Molluginaceae, Nyctaginaceae, Phytolaccaceae s.l., Polygonaceae, Portulacaceae, Sarcobataceae, Tamaricaceae, and Nepenthaceae) of the order Caryophyllales. The maximum parsimony tree from the analysis resolved a monophyletic group of the order Caryophyllales; however, the members, Agdestis, Anisomeria, Gallesia, Gisekia, Hilleria, Ledenbergia, Microtea, Monococcus, Petiveria, Phytolacca, Rivinia, Genetics and Molecular Research 12 (4): 4515-4525 (2013) ©FUNPEC-RP www.funpecrp.com.br J. Lee et al. 4516 Schindleria, Seguieria, Stegnosperma, and Trichostigma, which belong to the family Phytolaccaceae s.l., did not cluster under a single clade, demonstrating that Phytolaccaceae is polyphyletic. Key words: Phytolaccaceae; Phylogenetic relationships; Internal transcribed spacer; Nuclear ribosomal DNA INTRODUCTION The Caryophyllales (part of the core eudicots), sometimes also called Centrospermae, include about 6% of dicotyledonous species and comprise 33 families, 692 genera and approxi- mately 11200 species.

A Listing Petition to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service: Mohave Ground
December 6, 1993 Endangered Species Section U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service 911 NE 11th Avenue Portland, Oregon 97232 Ladies and Gentlemen: Enclosed is a formal petition to list the Mohave ground squirrel (Spermophilus mohavensis) as a THREATENED species under the terms of the federal Endangered Species Act of 1973. I believe that a careful reading of the petition will lead to the conclusion that the degree of rarity of this species, and the numerous threats to its continued survival, justify its listing. This is particularly true now because the California Fish and Game Commission chose to remove the Mohave ground squirrel from California's list of threatened and endangered species earlier this year. As one of the three zoologists who recommended the original listing of the Mohave ground squirrel by the California Fish and Game Commission in 1971, I believe that the species clearly is in worse shape now than it was then. However, while I have over 30 years of experience as a mammalogist and herpetologist studying the fauna of southern California, my attention has not been focused on the Mohave ground squirrel. Thus, in preparing the enclosed petition, I have drawn heavily on the work of others who are cited in the document. I would appreciate your acknowledging receipt of this petition and keeping me apprised of its progress through your review process. Considering the Mohave ground squirrel's impending lack of legal protection, I urge you begin the process without delay. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Glenn R. Stewart, Ph.D.
