    ANOTHER NEW EUPHYES from the SOUTHERN UNITED STATES COASTAL PLAIN (HESPERIIDAE) the Southern Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains Ar

    Journal of the Lepidopteri'ts' Society .50(1 ), 1996, 46- 53 ANOTHER NEW EUPHYES FROM THE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES COASTAL PLAIN (HESPERIIDAE) JOHN A. SHUEY The Nature ConselVancy, Indiana Field Office, 1330 West 38th Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46208, USA ABSTRACT. The taxon Euphyes dukesi calhouni Shuey, new subspecies endemic to FIOlida, is described. This subspecies is amply differentiated from Euphyes dukesi dukesi and the two taxa are allopatric. In northeaste rn F lorida and sout eastern G eorgia, whe re their known ranges closely approach one another, there is almost no evidence of inte r­ gradation. Euphyes dukesi calhouni is limited to swamp habitats that support large stands of the sedge hostplants, various Rhynchospora and Carex specie:; (Cype raceae). Additional key words: biogeography, we tlands, conservation. The southern Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains are rich regions for wetland butterflies, especially for genera such as Euphyes, Poanes, and Problema. For example , as currently known, eight named Euphyes spe­ cies or subspecies occur in the wetlands of these coastal plains. Four of these taxa are restricted to the coastal plain: Euphyes palatka palatka (Edwards), Euphyes palatka klotsi Mille r, Harvey and Miller, Euphyes berryi (Bell), and Euphyes bayensis Shuey. Just as interesting as their limited coastal distributions is the presence in these wetland skippers of well differentiated p eripheral populations, many of which have only recently bee n recognized and described. These peripheral populations are most probably the end result of allopatric diffe rentiation. For example, Euphyes palatka klotsi repre sents its spe­ cies on a few of the lower Florida Keys, separated from the nominate mainland subspecies by just tens of miles.

  • The Natural Communities of South Carolina

    The Natural Communities of South Carolina

    THE NATURAL COMMUNITIES OF SOUTH CAROLINA BY JOHN B. NELSON SOUTH CAROLINA WILDLIFE & MARINE RESOURCES DEPARTMENT FEBRUARY 1986 INTRODUCTION The maintenance of an accurate inventory of a region's natural resources must involve a system for classifying its natural communities. These communities themselves represent identifiable units which, like individual plant and animal species of concern, contribute to the overall natural diversity characterizing a given region. This classification has developed from a need to define more accurately the range of natural habitats within South Carolina. From the standpoint of the South Carolina Nongame and Heritage Trust Program, the conceptual range of natural diversity in the state does indeed depend on knowledge of individual community types. Additionally, it is recognized that the various plant and animal species of concern (which make up a significant remainder of our state's natural diversity) are often restricted to single natural communities or to a number of separate, related ones. In some cases, the occurrence of a given natural community allows us to predict, with some confidence, the presence of specialized or endemic resident species. It follows that a reasonable and convenient method of handling the diversity of species within South Carolina is through the concept of these species as residents of a range of natural communities. Ideally, a nationwide classification system could be developed and then used by all the states. Since adjacent states usually share a number of community types, and yet may each harbor some that are unique, any classification scheme on a national scale would be forced to recognize the variation in a given community from state to state (or region to region) and at the same time to maintain unique communities as distinctive.

IMPACTS OF LAUREL WILT DISEASE ON REDBAY (PERSEA BORBONIA) POPULATION STRUCTURE AND FOREST COMMUNITIES IN THE COASTAL PLAIN OF GEORGIA, USA by KIMBERLY S. SPIEGEL (Under the direction of Lissa M. Leege) ABSTRACT Laurel wilt disease (LWD), a fungal disease vectored by the non-native redbay ambrosia beetle (Xyleborus glabratus), has caused mortality of redbay (Persea borbonia) in the Coastal Plain of Georgia, USA, since 2003. This disease has spread 30-100 km/year and little research has evaluated its impacts on redbay population structure and forest communities. Healthy and infested populations of redbay and their associated communities were compared in five sites infested with LWD and three un-infested sites in five counties in Georgia.

It is also possible for this ecological site to occur outside of highlighted areas if detailed soil survey has not been completed or recently updated. MLRA notes Major Land Resource Area (MLRA): 107B–Iowa and Missouri Deep Loess Hills The Iowa and Missouri Deep Loess Hills (MLRA 107B) includes the Missouri Alluvial Plain, Loess Hills, Southern Iowa Drift Plain, and Central Dissected Till Plains landform regions (Prior 1991; Nigh and Schroeder 2002). It spans four states (Iowa, 53 percent; Missouri, 32 percent; Nebraska, 12 percent; and Kansas 3 percent), encompassing over 14,000 square miles (Figure 1). The elevation ranges from approximately 1,565 feet above sea level (ASL) on the highest ridges to about 600 feet ASL along the Missouri River near Glasgow in central Missouri. Local relief varies from 10 to 20 feet in the major river floodplains, to 50 to 100 feet in the dissected uplands, and loess bluffs of 200 to 300 feet along the Missouri River. Loess deposits cover most of the area, with deposits reaching a thickness of 65 to 200 feet in the Loess Hills and grading to about 20 feet in the eastern extent of the region. Pre-Illinoian till, deposited more than 500,000 years ago, lies beneath the loess and has experienced extensive erosion and dissection.
