Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Bibliography Compiled and Edited by Jim Dice
Steele/Burnand Anza-Borrego Desert Research Center University of California, Irvine UCI – NATURE and UC Natural Reserve System California State Parks – Colorado Desert District Anza-Borrego Desert State Park & Anza-Borrego Foundation Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Bibliography Compiled and Edited by Jim Dice (revised 1/31/2019) A gaggle of geneticists in Borrego Palm Canyon – 1975. (L-R, Dr. Theodosius Dobzhansky, Dr. Steve Bryant, Dr. Richard Lewontin, Dr. Steve Jones, Dr. TimEDITOR’S Prout. Photo NOTE by Dr. John Moore, courtesy of Steve Jones) Editor’s Note The publications cited in this volume specifically mention and/or discuss Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, locations and/or features known to occur within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, biological, geological, paleontological or anthropological specimens collected from localities within the present-day boundaries of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, or events that have occurred within those same boundaries. This compendium is not now, nor will it ever be complete (barring, of course, the end of the Earth or the Park). Many, many people have helped to corral the references contained herein (see below). Any errors of omission and comission are the fault of the editor – who would be grateful to have such errors and omissions pointed out! [[email protected]] ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As mentioned above, many many people have contributed to building this database of knowledge about Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. A quantum leap was taken somewhere in 2016-17 when Kevin Browne introduced me to Google Scholar – and we were off to the races. Elaine Tulving deserves a special mention for her assistance in dealing with formatting issues, keeping printers working, filing hard copies, ignoring occasional foul language – occasionally falling prey to it herself, and occasionally livening things up with an exclamation of “oh come on now, you just made that word up!” Bob Theriault assisted in many ways and now has a lifetime job, if he wants it, entering these references into Zotero. -

Results for Spring 2012 Rare Plant Surveys
Results for Spring 2012 Rare Plant Surveys Survey Dates: Table 1: Campo Verde Special Status Plant Survey Dates and Personnel Dates Staff October 23-24, 2011 John Messina; Brenda McMillan March 3-4, 30-31, 2012 John Messina; Tyler Morrison A total of 36 species were observed during the site surveys of the BLM lands. The low number of species observed on the BLM lands reflects relatively small acreage of the gen-tie corridor area. An additional 11 species were observed on the private lands during the vegetation mapping of those areas.

JUNE 2019 a Stunning Crested Carnegia Gigantea by Steve Ford
JUNE 2019 ________________________________________________________________ A stunning crested Carnegia gigantea by Steve Ford. CACSS !1 of !16 June 2019 SOUTH AFRICA Photos and Text by Jan Emming Join Jan for our monthly program June 30, at 2 p.m. in Dorrance Hall at the Desert Botanical Garden South Africa has some of the most diverse flora and fauna on earth, especially considering the nation's relatively limited global land area. In September 2016, Jan Emming took a three week long journey there. He covered a large swath of the country from Kruger National Park in the northeast to Cape Town in the southwest, including a number of locales in between that are not usually very well frequented by cactus and succulent aficionados. This program highlights some of the vast biodiversity of the nation. While succulent plants, that are of great interest to many people in the CACSS, are the primary focus of this program, significant attention is also paid to other plant groups as well as bird and mammal diversity. Join us for a look at the numerous natural reasons to visit this wonderful nation. From left: Jan Emming, a sunbird at the Cape Peninsula and a view of the Oudtshoorn. CACSS !2 of !16 June 2019 CRESTED SAGUAROS By Sue Hakala A member asks: Where can I find and photograph crested saguaros? First, what is a crested saguaro? The explanation below comes from the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, Saguaro National Park Resource Management Division website. Cristate or “crested” saguaros, or other cactus, form when the cells in the growing stem begin to divide outward rather than in the circular pattern of a normal cactus.
