  • Eagle Creek Park History

    Eagle Creek Park History

    Eagle Creek Park History Introduction Before Eagle Creek Park and Reservoir were built, the area they cover was home to many people. This booklet gives a brief history of the land and the people that occupied it. Information about park buildings and sites along the trails is also included. Native Americans Although there were no permanent villages in the area, Miami and Lenape (Delaware) people hunted and fished along the creek prior to and after European settlement. At the time of Indiana’s statehood in 1816, the population of European settlers was concentrated in Southern Indiana. As the population grew, Native Americans were forced to move north and west. The Treaty of St. Mary’s, which is also known as “The New Purchase,” caused the Miami and Lenape nations to give up rights to all land in the central part of the state in 1818. Stories passed down from early settlers indicate that there were a few Native Americans living near Eagle Creek in the 1820s. Early Settlers After The New Purchase, the area was surveyed and divided into counties, townships, and sections. Pike Township, Marion County, Indiana was platted in 1822. From 1822 to 1837, land patents were sold by the federal government. Most were bought by people moving to the area from neighboring states. David Wilson and James Delong were among the first settlers to buy land in what is now Eagle Creek Park. Their families farmed on or near their original land from the 1820s through the 1930s. Roads that bear their names can be found on park property, passing through land that once belonged to them.

C. P. 04510. Del. Coyoacán, Ciudad de México, México. E-mail: [email protected] 2Corresponding author Abstract Spider community inventories have relatively well-established standardized collecting protocols. Such protocols set rules for the orderly acquisition of samples to estimate community parameters and to establish comparisons between areas. These methods have been tested worldwide, providing useful data for inventory planning and optimal sampling allocation efforts. The taxonomic counterpart of biodiversity inventories has received considerably less attention. Species lists and their relative abundances are the only link between the community parameters resulting from a biotic inventory and the biology of the species that live there. However, this connection is lost or speculative at best for species only partially identified (e. g., to genus but not to species). This link is particularly important for diverse tropical regions were many taxa are undescribed or little known such as spiders. One approach to this problem has been the development of biodiversity inventory websites that document the morphology of the species with digital images organized as standard views.

As a young island, its biota is a consequence of both natural dispersals over the last ~1 million years and recent human introductions. It therefore provides an opportunity to study a unique community assemblage. Here, we extract DNA from museum-preserved and newly field-collected spiders from the genus Tetragnatha to explore their history on Rapa Nui.

However, Parasteatoda is now the most that branches basally from myriapods, crustaceans and insects. commonly used chelicerate model for developmental studies, Spiders are thus useful models with which to investigate particularly with respect to embryogenesis (McGregor et al., 2008a; whether aspects of development are ancestral or derived with Oda and Akiyama-Oda, 2008). This is in part owing to the platform respect to the arthropod common ancestor. Moreover, they serve provided by classical embryological studies of spider development as an important reference point for comparison with the (reviewed in Anderson, 1973), the ease of culturing Parasteatoda, development of other metazoans.

We report 281 species (228 invertebrates and 53 vertebrates), including 51 troglobionts (cave-obligate species), from more than 150 sites (caves, springs, and wells). Endemism is high; of the troglobionts, 17 (33 % of those known from the state) are endemic to Georgia and seven (14 %) are known from a single cave. We identified three biogeographic clusters of troglobionts. Two clusters are located in the northwestern part of the state, west of Lookout Mountain in Lookout Valley and east of Lookout Mountain in the Valley and Ridge. In addition, there is a group of tro- globionts found only in the southwestern corner of the state and associated with the Upper Floridan Aquifer. At least two dozen potentially undescribed species have been collected from caves; clarifying the taxonomic status of these organisms would improve our understanding of cave biodiversity in the state.
