  • Ceanothus Silk Moth by Joe Barnwell
    Ceanothus Silk Moth By Joe Barnwell The RVOEP is home to the Ceanothus silk moth, Hyalophora euryalus, one of nature's more impressive insects. The moth itself is not too often seen, as it has a short life span and chilly pre- dawn spring habits. It is the cocoon that usually draws human attention. These cocoons can be quite noticeable attached lengthwise to bare winter shrubbery. They are the size and shape of a small chicken egg, and shine a light gray in the sun. Their silken armor is very tough, and they have been used for millennia by Pomoan and other California Indian groups as ceremonial rattles. The cocoons would be gathered, their occupants evicted, and gravel inserted for sound. They they would be sewn onto ceremonial dress or glued onto a handle to make a rattle. The Eastern Pomo name for both cocoon and rattle is "maa-yoy!". The Saturniidae (silk moth) family is a hymn to the glory and mystery of life. There are 65 species of these moths in North America, 15 in California. They are all large, strikingly patterned creatures, and include the Luna and Cecropia moths of the East Coast. The Ceanothus silk moth is the western version of the Cecropia. It has 4 1/2 inch wingspan, and its reddish-brown uppersides are marked with white, crescent-shaped slashes and a small eyespot in the corner of the upper wing. Its naked green caterpillar eats and molts its way through the summer to an eventual length of four inches and develops yellow protuberances on its segments in its last stages.

Taxonomic relationships Ceanothus is a diverse genus with over 50 taxa that cluster in to two subgenera. C. crassifolius has long been recognized as part of the Cerastes group of Ceanothus based on morphology, life-history, and crossing studies (McMinn 1939a, Nobs 1963). In phylogenetic analyses based on RNA and chloroplast DNA, Hardig et al. (2000) found C. crassifolius clustered into the Cerastes group and in each analysis shared a clade with C. ophiochilus. In molecular and morphological analyses, Burge et al. (2011) also found C. crassifolius clustered into Cerastes. Cerastes included over 20 taxa and numerous subtaxa in both studies. Eight Cerastes taxa occur in southern California (see I. E. Related taxa in region). E. Related taxa in region In southern California, the related Cerastes taxa include: C.

    CODOS – Colorado Dust-on-Snow – WY 2009 Update #1, February 15, 2009 Greetings from Silverton, Colorado on the 3-year anniversary of the February 15, 2006 dust-on-snow event that played such a pivotal role in the early and intense snowmelt runoff of Spring 2006. This CODOS Update will kick off the Water Year 2009 series of Updates and Alerts designed to keep you apprised of dust- on-snow conditions in the Colorado mountains. We welcome two new CODOS program participants – Northern Colorado Water Conservation District and Animas-LaPlata Water Conservancy District – to our list of past and ongoing supporters – Colorado River Water Conservation District, Southwestern Water Conservation District, Rio Grande Water Conservation District, Upper Gunnison River Water Conservancy District, Tri-County Water Conservancy District, Denver Water, and Western Water Assessment-CIRES. This season we will issue “Updates” to inform you about observed dust layers in your watersheds, and how they are likely to influence snowmelt timing and rates in the near term, given the National Weather Service’s 7-10 forecast. We will also issue “Alerts” to give you a timely “heads up” about either an imminent or actual dust-on-snow deposition event in progress. Several other key organizations monitoring and forecasting weather, snowpack, and streamflows on your behalf will also receive these products, as a courtesy. As you may know, some Colorado ranges already have a significant dust layer within the snowpack. The photo below taken at our Swamp Angel Study Plot near Red Mountain Pass on January 1 shows, very distinctly, a significant dust layer deposited on December 13, 2008, now deeply buried under 1 meter of snow.

    Save Plants 2017 Annual Report Brighamia insignia From food to medicine, from clean air to clear water, to intrinsic beauty and the very landscape that covers our planet, plants define the human experience. But despite this indispensable and multifaceted role in our lives, plants are remarkably undervalued. Nothing accentuates this neglect more than the sheer number of plants that face extinction – one fifth or more of all plants on this planet will die out in this century if current trends continue. Fortunately for humanity, there are those among us who spend their lives working to save these endangered species. The Center for Plant Conservation (CPC) exists to serve plant conservationists in the effort to Save Plants from extinction. Dr. John R.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s| or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of die material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
