  • Complex Patterns of Phenotypic Plasticity: Interactive Effects of Temperature During Rearing and Oviposition
    Ecology, 86(4), 2005, pp. 924±934 q 2005 by the Ecological Society of America COMPLEX PATTERNS OF PHENOTYPIC PLASTICITY: INTERACTIVE EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE DURING REARING AND OVIPOSITION R. CRAIG STILLWELL1 AND CHARLES W. F OX Department of Entomology, University of Kentucky, S-225 Ag Science Center North, Lexington, Kentucky 40546-0091 USA Abstract. Temperature profoundly affects growth and life history traits in ectothermic animals through selection (i.e., genetic) and through direct effects on the phenotype (i.e., nongenetic/plasticity). We examined the effects of rearing temperature (248,308, and 368C) on adult body size and development time and the interactive effects of temperature ex- perienced during rearing and oviposition on several life history traits (age-at-®rst-repro- duction, fecundity, egg size, egg development, and egg hatching) in two populations of the seed beetle, Stator limbatus, collected at different elevations. The higher elevation popu- lation was larger and matured sooner than the low-elevation population when raised at the lower temperature, but the reverse was true at the higher temperature suggesting that these populations have adapted to local temperature. There were interactions between the effects of rearing temperature and oviposition temperature for age-at-®rst-reproduction, fecundity, egg development, egg hatching, and two composite measures of ®tness, generating complex reaction norms. The most dramatic example of this was a large maternal effect on egg hatching; females raised at low temperature produced eggs that had substantially reduced hatching when laid at high temperature. Our experimental design also allowed us to explore the adaptive signi®cance of acclimation. Beetles reared at intermediate or low temperature had the highest ®tness at multiple oviposition temperatures.

  • Effects of Off-Road Vehicles on Rodents in the Sonoran Desert By
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ASU Digital Repository Effects of Off-road Vehicles on Rodents in the Sonoran Desert by John Simon Reid A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Approved May 2012 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Ward Brady, Chair Heather Bateman William Miller ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY August 2012 ABSTRACT Human recreation on rangelands may negatively impact wildlife populations. Among those activities, off-road vehicle (ORV) recreation carries the potential for broad ecological consequences. A study was undertaken to assess the impacts of ORV on rodents in Arizona Uplands Sonoran Desert. Between the months of February and September 2010, rodents were trapped at 6 ORV and 6 non-ORV sites in Tonto National Forest, AZ. I hypothesized that rodent abundance and species richness are negatively affected by ORV use. Rodent abundances were estimated using capture-mark-recapture methodology. Species richness was not correlated with ORV use. Although abundance of Peromyscus eremicus and Neotoma albigula declined as ORV use increased, abundance of Dipodomys merriami increased. Abundance of Chaetodipus baileyi was not correlated with ORV use. Other factors measured were percent ground cover, percent shrub cover, and species-specific shrub cover percentages. Total shrub cover, Opuntia spp., and Parkinsonia microphylla each decreased as ORV use increased. Results suggest that ORV use negatively affects rodent habitats in Arizona Uplands Sonoran Desert, leading to declining abundance in some species. Management strategies should mitigate ORV related habitat destruction to protect vulnerable populations. i This is dedicated to my mother, Sarah Gilmer Reid, who instilled in me an abiding respect for nature, and a mindset for conservation.

  • 3 Invasive Species in the Sonoran Desert Region
    3 Invasive Species in the Sonoran Desert Region 11 INVASIVE SPECIES IN THE SONORAN DESERT REGION Invasive species are altering the ecosystems of the Sonoran Desert Region. Native plants have been displaced resulting in radically different habitats and food for wildlife. Species like red brome and buffelgrass have become dense enough in many areas to carry fire in the late spring and early summer. Sonoran Desert plants such as saguaros, palo verdes and many others are not fire- adapted and do not survive these fires. The number of non-native species tends to be lowest in natural areas of the Sonoran Desert and highest in the most disturbed and degraded habitats. However, species that are unusually aggressive and well adapted do invade natural areas. In the mid 1900’s, there were approximately 146 non-native plant species (5.7% of the total flora) in the Sonoran Desert. Now non-natives comprise nearly 10% of the Sonoran Desert flora overall. In highly disturbed areas, the majority of species are frequently non-native invasives. These numbers continue to increase. It is crucial that we monitor, control, and eradicate invasive species that are already here. We must also consider the various vectors of dispersal for invasive species that have not yet arrived in Arizona, but are likely to be here in the near future. Early detection and reporting is vital to prevent the spread of existing invasives and keep other invasives from arriving and establishing. This is the premise of the INVADERS of the Sonoran Desert Region program at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.

Hernández, Mario Sousa and Helga Ochoterena Herbario Nacional de México, Departamento de Botánica, Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Apartado postal 70- 233, 04510 México D. F., Mexico. [email protected] Abstract. Trees or tree-like plants are defined here broadly as perennial, self-supporting plants with a total height of at least 5 m (without ascending leaves or inflorescences), and with one or several erect stems with a diameter of at least 10 cm. We continue our compilation of an updated list of all native Mexican tree species with the dicotyledonous families Asteraceae (36 species, 39% endemic), Leguminosae with its 3 subfamilies (449 species, 41% endemic), and Rubiaceae (134 species, 24% endemic). The tallest tree species reach 20 m in the Asteraceae, 70 m in the Leguminosae, and also 70 m in the Rubiaceae. The species-richest genus is Lonchocarpus with 67 tree species in Mexico. Three legume genera are endemic to Mexico (Conzattia, Hesperothamnus, and Heteroflorum). The appendix lists all species, including their original publication, references of taxonomic revisions, existence of subspecies or varieties, maximum height in Mexico, and endemism status. Key words: biodiversity, flora, tree definition. Resumen. Las plantas arbóreas o arborescentes se definen aquí en un sentido amplio como plantas perennes que se pueden sostener por sí solas, con una altura total de al menos 5 m (sin considerar hojas o inflorescencias ascendentes) y con uno o varios tallos erectos de un diámetro de al menos 10 cm.

    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Recovery Plan for the Sonoran Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana sonoriensis) Second Revision Sonoran pronghorn. Photograph by Jim Atkinson, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. November 2016 DISCLAIMER Recovery plans delineate such reasonable actions as may be necessary, based upon the best scientific and commercial data available, for the conservation and survival of listed species. Plans are published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, state agencies and others. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views, official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than FWS. They represent the official position of FWS only after they have been signed by the Regional Director. Recovery plans are guidance and planning documents only; identification of an action to be implemented by any public or private party does not create a legal obligation beyond existing legal requirements. Nothing in this plan should be construed as a commitment or requirement that any federal agency obligate or pay funds in any one fiscal year in excess of appropriations made by Congress for that fiscal year in contravention of the Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. 1341, or any other law or regulation. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery actions. LITERATURE CITATION SHOULD READ AS FOLLOWS: U. S.

  • Parkinsonia Microphylla / Ambrosia Deltoidea Shrubland
    26. Parkinsonia microphylla / Ambrosia deltoidea Shrubland Association (P) Yellow paloverde / Triangle bur ragweed Shrubland Association (P) This shrubland community is characterized by a very sparse (<5% cover) canopy (2–5 m) of yellow paloverde (Parkinsonia microphylla) and a Common species moderately dense (20–40% cover) field layer (<0.5 m) solely domi- • Parkinsonia microphylla nated by triangle bur ragweed (Ambrosia deltoidea). Yellow paloverde • Ambrosia deltoidea (P. microphylla) is consistently (1.0) present as scattered, small (3–4 m), tree-like individuals with average cover of around 3%. The subcanopy composition is conspicuously different between the two districts. At the Rincon Mountain District (RMD), this species provides cover of around 5 [10]%. At the Tucson Mountain District (TMD), the subcanopy is a sparse (2–4% cover) mix of whitethorn acacia (Vachellia constricta), Ber- landier’s wolfberry (Lycium berlandieri), and buckhorn cholla (Cylindropuntia acanthocarpa). The field layer (<0.5 m) is consistently dominated (1.0) by the low subshrub, triangle bur ragweed (A. deltoidea). Throughout this association, this species provides cover of typically less than 10%. This community covers 5% (493 ha/1,218 ac) of the TMD. It is spread throughout the northern and eastern portions of the district. It is found on small, low-angle (<25%), rolling hills of variable aspects from 820 to 945 meters (2,609–3,100 ft). In general, the surface cover is characterized by shallow, well-drained skeletal loam and clay underlying a layer of coarse (5–10 cm) gravel with scattered rocks. Typically, the rock and gravel are Tucson Mountain District, Saguaro National Park Mountain District, Saguaro Tucson composed of a fine-grained metaquartzite with occasional areas of rhyolitic tuff.
