The national park was F E R N S established in 1968. In 1994, a cooperative agreement with the California Department of Parks and Recreation added Del Norte Coast, Prairie Creek, Athyriaceae – Lady Fern Family and Jedediah Smith Redwoods state parks to form a single administrative Athyrium filix-femina var. cyclosporum • northwestern lady fern unit. Together they comprise about 133,000 acres (540 km2), including 37 miles of coast line. Almost half of the remaining old growth redwood forests Blechnaceae – Deer Fern Family are protected in these four parks.

  • Abstract a Morphological and Molecular Taxonomic
    ABSTRACT A MORPHOLOGICAL AND MOLECULAR TAXONOMIC REVIEW OF THE TRIFOLIUM DEPAUPERATUM (FABACEAE) SPECIES COMPLEX by Lydia Grace Tressel The amphitropical Trifolium depauperatum Nutt. species complex (Fabaceae) is a group of closely related clovers with a disjunct native distribution from Chile and western North America. Based on the most recent treatment by Vincent and Isely in 2012, the species complex includes two species, one of which contains three varieties. Historically, the taxonomy of this species complex has been unstable, so a morphological and molecular analysis was conducted from herbarium specimens and fresh tissue. Multivariate and cluster analyses of morphological data support the recognition of four taxa: T. depauperatum var. depauperatum Desv., T. depauperatum var. amplectens Torr. & Gray, T. depauperatum var. truncatum (Greene) Martin ex Isely, and T. hydrophilum Greene. Each taxon is typified, synonymy is provided, and descriptions and distributional information is given. Molecular analysis was inconclusive; however, a strategy for using molecular analysis in future investigations of these taxon boundaries is discussed.

  • Aichi Triennale 2019 Has Announced the List of Additional Artists
    Aichi Triennale 2019 Press Release _ Participating Artists As of March 27, 2019 Aichi Triennale 2019 Has Announced the List of Additional Artists Aichi Triennale—an international contemporary art festival that occurs once every three years and is one of the largest of its kind—has been showcasing the cutting edge of the arts since 2010, through its wide-ranging program that spans international contemporary visual art, film, the performing arts, music, and more. This fourth iteration of the festival welcomes journalist and media activist Daisuke Tsuda as its artistic director. By choosing “Taming Y/Our Passion” as the festival’s theme, Tsuda seeks to address “the sensationalization of media that at present plagues and polarizes people around the world.” He hopes that by “employing the capacity of art— a venture that, capable of encompassing every possible phenomenon, eschews framing the world through dichotomies—to speak to our compassion, thus potentially yielding clues to solving this predicament.” Aichi Triennale 2019 announced the addition of 47 artists to its lineup on 27 March 2019; the list now comprises a total of 79 artists.

  • 5. Major Trends in Military Expenditure and Arms Acquisitions by the States of the Caspian Region
    5. Major trends in military expenditure and arms acquisitions by the states of the Caspian region Mark Eaton I. Introduction Official budgets of the newly independent states of the South Caucasus, Central Asia1 and Iran clearly show that defence spending has increased in the region since 1995.2 However, inconsistent reporting and coverage of defence budgets by regional countries are the norm and available data are often unreliable, seldom reflecting the actual military/security environment of the region. For example, paramilitary forces possessing military capabilities and performing defence-related tasks are not usually funded through defence budgets but by interior ministries. The evolving national security doctrines of a number of regional countries see international terrorism and political and religious extrem- ism as the main threats to national security, resulting in increased priority being given to the development of interior ministry forces during the latter half of the 1990s. In this chapter these forces and their sources of funding are considered independently of the regular armed forces. Armed non-state groups are also active in the region and the secret nature of their sources of funding and equipment makes it difficult to reach reliable conclusions about their military capability and their impact on security in the region. Arms transfers to the countries of the region increased during the second half of the 1990s, with Armenia, Iran and Kazakhstan emerging among the world’s leading recipients of conventional weapons. Since 1998 several countries, including NATO member states (the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Turkey and the USA), plus China and Ukraine, have entered the traditionally Russian- dominated market.
