If deer are hungry enough or there’s a limited amount of food available, they will eat almost anything.

The Monophyly of Bursera and Its Impact for Divergence Times of Burseraceae
TAXON 61 (2) • April 2012: 333–343 Becerra & al. • Monophyly of Bursera The monophyly of Bursera and its impact for divergence times of Burseraceae Judith X. Becerra,1 Kogi Noge,2 Sarai Olivier1 & D. Lawrence Venable3 1 Department of Biosphere 2, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721, U.S.A. 2 Department of Biological Production, Akita Prefectural University, Akita 010-0195, Japan 3 Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721, U.S.A. Author for correspondence: Judith X. Becerra, [email protected] Abstract Bursera is one of the most diverse and abundant groups of trees and shrubs of the Mexican tropical dry forests. Its interaction with its specialist herbivores in the chrysomelid genus Blepharida, is one of the best-studied coevolutionary systems. Prior studies based on molecular phylogenies concluded that Bursera is a monophyletic genus. Recently, however, other molecular analyses have suggested that the genus might be paraphyletic, with the closely related Commiphora, nested within Bursera. If this is correct, then interpretations of coevolution results would have to be revised. Whether Bursera is or is not monophyletic also has implications for the age of Burseraceae, since previous dates were based on calibrations using Bursera fossils assuming that Bursera was paraphyletic. We performed a phylogenetic analysis of 76 species and varieties of Bursera, 51 species of Commiphora, and 13 outgroups using nuclear DNA data. We also reconstructed a phylogeny of the Burseraceae using 59 members of the family, 9 outgroups and nuclear and chloroplast sequence data. These analyses strongly confirm previous conclusions that this genus is monophyletic.

Plants for Pollinators for South Central Idaho That Grow Well at Orton Botanical Garden in Twin Falls Prepared by Lamar Orton Shrubs 1
Plants for Pollinators for South Central Idaho that grow well at Orton Botanical Garden in Twin Falls Prepared by LaMar Orton Shrubs 1. Bitter brush (Purshia tridentata) – Idaho native 2. Mexican cliff rose (Purshia mexicana) – blooms in May, a large relative of bitter brush. 3. Fern bush (Chamaebatiaria millefolium) – Idaho native, blooms in July/August. 4. Oregon grape (Mahonia aquifolium) – upright to 10 ft high, Idaho native, blooms in April, evergreen. 5. Creeping Oregon grape (Mahonia repens) – low grower, good for shade, Idaho native, blooms in April, evergreen. 6. Apache plume (Fallugia paradoxa) – heavy May bloomer, but blooms off and on throughout the summer. 7. Rabbitbrush (Chrysothmnus) – several species – late summer/fall blooming. Flowers 1. Penstemons – many species that bloom at different times of the spring and summer. 2. Buckwheats (Eriogonum) – many species that bloom at different times of the spring and summer. 3. Catmint (Nepeta) – often will bloom twice during the summer, if cut back after the first bloom. 4. Blanket flower (Gaillardia aristata) – If they are kept deadheaded, they will bloom much of the summer. 5. Dorr’s sage (Salvia dorrii) is native to southern Idaho. 6. Woodland sage (Salvia nemerosa) - native to central Europe and western Asia. Several cultivars - blooms for a long time in early summer and will rebloom if cut back after the first bloom. 7. Rocky Mountain bee plant (Cleome serrulata) – an annual that blooms in midsummer. Bees love the flowers and birds relish the seeds. 8. Annual Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) – Mid to late summer bloomer. 9. Prickly pear cactus (Opuntia) – many species and flower colors.
