The Congress was sponsored by the Island Coun- ci1 (Cl~hildo Tnsul~r) and toolr place be.twea 13 and 18 April 1973. Twenty six lectures were given on such subjects as flora, conservation, herbaria, and inventories. During a joint excursion participants were introduced to the main plant communities exis- ting on Gran Canaria, Although the principal purpose of the mee,ting was to bring logether al1 bolanists whose work and interest, directly or indi- rectly, relates to the vegetation of the Macaronesian Islands, and to review progress of the “Flora Macaronesica” project, conserva- tion of the ve8getation with its high percentage of endemics re- ceived considerable attention. The urgent need to protect the large number of endangered species and to preserve uniquc communitics and landscapes on the islands gave rise to the prepara,tion and appromal of a general “Appeal” (see “Proposals and decisi’ons”). Thi’s will be widely circulated and brought to the atten,tion of institutions and govern- ments concerned. A communication from IUCN/WWF was read, informing the members of a grant all’ocated for a survey of the natural resources in the eastern Canary Lslands. It was also agreed to create a Macarone,sian Eotanical Associla- tion which would ensure the direction and continuity of the pro- grammes. The Congress received much public interest and was reported on daily and at length by al1 local inlormation media. Summari- zing reports were also publiskd in “Nature” (val. 243:261) and in the “Bulletin IUCN” (vol. 4:23). Official speeche’s pronounced have been published in ful1 in INoca newspapers. -7- LIST OF PARTICIPANTS ALEMANIA Mattick, Prof. Dr. F.; Botanischer Garten und Museum, Berlin-Dahlem Milbradt, J., cand. phil.; Botankches Institut, Universität Erl,angen-Nürnberg F’aul, I’rof Dr. F.; Eotanischm Institut, Univcrsität Bonn Voggenreiter, V., cand. rer. nat.; Botanisches Institut, Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg DINAMARCA Hansen, A., cand. mag.; Botanisk Museum Keben’havn FRANCIA Gagnieu, Prof. Dra, A.; Institut Bo,tani,que, Université Strasbourg Linder, Prof. Dr. R.; Institut Botlanique, Université des Sciences Lille GRAN BREBTAÑA Aldridge, 4.

Phylogeny of Southern African and Australasian Wahlenbergioids (Campanulaceae) based on ITS and trnL-F sequence data: implications for a reclassification Christopher N. Cupido , Jessica M. Prebble , and William M. M. Eddie Abstract The Campanulaceae: Wahlenbergioideae currently comprises 15 genera, one of which, Wahlenbergia, is widespread over the southern continents. Southern Africa is the region with maximum wahlenbergioid diversity with 12 genera and approximately 252 species. A second center is Australasia with 38 Wahlenbergia species. This study used a broad sample of wahlenbergioid diversity from South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand to reconstruct a phylogeny based on chloroplast trnL-F and nuclear ITS sequences. Data were analyzed separately and in combination using parsimony and Bayesian methods. The results suggest that for the wahlenbergioids to be monophyletic Wahlenbergia hederacea has to be excluded and that none of the South African, Australian or New Zealand lineages are strictly monophyletic. There are five species assemblages that are in some disagreement with current classification in the family. Wahlenbergia, Prismatocarpus and Roella are shown to be non-monophyletic and implications for a reclassification are presented. Careful consideration of morphological characters is suggested before the adjustment of generic circumscriptions can be accomplished. Recent family-wide molecular phylogenetic studies have supported the view that the Campanulaceae s.s.

  • Conceptual Design Documentation
    Appendix A: Conceptual Design Documentation APPENDIX A Conceptual Design Documentation June 2019 A-1 APPENDIX A: CONCEPTUAL DESIGN DOCUMENTATION The environmental analyses in the NEPA and CEQA documents for the proposed improvements at Oceano County Airport (the Airport) are based on conceptual designs prepared to provide a realistic basis for assessing their environmental consequences. 1. Widen runway from 50 to 60 feet 2. Widen Taxiways A, A-1, A-2, A-3, and A-4 from 20 to 25 feet 3. Relocate segmented circle and wind cone 4. Installation of taxiway edge lighting 5. Installation of hold position signage 6. Installation of a new electrical vault and connections 7. Installation of a pollution control facility (wash rack) CIVIL ENGINEERING CALCULATIONS The purpose of this conceptual design effort is to identify the amount of impervious surface, grading (cut and fill) and drainage implications of the projects identified above. The conceptual design calculations detailed in the following figures indicate that Projects 1 and 2, widening the runways and taxiways would increase the total amount of impervious surface on the Airport by 32,016 square feet, or 0.73 acres; a 6.6 percent increase in the Airport’s impervious surface area. Drainage patterns would remain the same as both the runway and taxiways would continue to sheet flow from their centerlines to the edge of pavement and then into open, grassed areas. The existing drainage system is able to accommodate the modest increase in stormwater runoff that would occur, particularly as soil conditions on the Airport are conducive to infiltration. Figure A-1 shows the locations of the seven projects incorporated in the Proposed Action.
