    Floristic Surveys of Saguaro National Park Protected Natural Areas William L. Halvorson and Brooke S. Gebow, editors Technical Report No. 68 United States Geological Survey Sonoran Desert Field Station The University of Arizona Tucson, Arizona USGS Sonoran Desert Field Station The University of Arizona, Tucson The Sonoran Desert Field Station (SDFS) at The University of Arizona is a unit of the USGS Western Ecological Research Center (WERC). It was originally established as a National Park Service Cooperative Park Studies Unit (CPSU) in 1973 with a research staff and ties to The University of Arizona. Transferred to the USGS Biological Resources Division in 1996, the SDFS continues the CPSU mission of providing scientific data (1) to assist U.S. Department of Interior land management agencies within Arizona and (2) to foster cooperation among all parties overseeing sensitive natural and cultural resources in the region. It also is charged with making its data resources and researchers available to the interested public. Seventeen such field stations in California, Arizona, and Nevada carry out WERC’s work. The SDFS provides a multi-disciplinary approach to studies in natural and cultural sciences. Principal cooperators include the School of Renewable Natural Resources and the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at The University of Arizona. Unit scientists also hold faculty or research associate appointments at the university. The Technical Report series distributes information relevant to high priority regional resource management needs. The series presents detailed accounts of study design, methods, results, and applications possibly not accommodated in the formal scientific literature. Technical Reports follow SDFS guidelines and are subject to peer review and editing.

  • Vascular Flora of West Clear Creek Wilderness, Coconino and Yavapai
    VASCULAR FLORA OF WEST CLEAR CREEK WILDERNESS, COCONINO AND YAVAPAI COUNTIES, ARIZONA By Wendy C. McBride A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Biology Northern Arizona University May 2016 Approved: Tina J. Ayers, Ph.D., Chair Randall W. Scott, Ph.D. Liza M. Holeski, Ph.D. ABSTRACT VASCULAR FLORA OF WEST CLEAR CREEK WILDERNESS, COCONINO AND YAVAPAI COUNTIES, ARIZONA WENDY C. MCBRIDE West Clear Creek Wilderness bisects the Mogollon Rim in Arizona, and is nested between the Colorado Plateau and Basin and Range physiographic provinces. Between 2013 and 2016, a floristic inventory vouchered 542 taxa and reviewed 428 previous collections to produce a total plant inventory of 594 taxa from 93 families and 332 genera. The most species rich families Were Asteraceae, Poaceae, Fabaceae, Brassicaceae, Rosaceae, Plantaginaceae, Cyperaceae, and Polygonaceae. Carex, Erigeron, Bromus, Muhlenbergia, and Oenothera Were the most represented genera. Nonnative taxa accounted for seven percent of the total flora. Stachys albens was vouchered as a new state record for Arizona. New county records include Graptopetalum rusbyi (Coconino), Pseudognaphalium pringlei (Coconino), Phaseolus pedicellatus var. grayanus (Coconino), and Quercus rugosa (Coconino and Yavapai). This study quantified and contrasted native species diversity in canyon versus non- canyon floras across the Southwest. Analyses based on eighteen floras indicate that those centered about a major canyon feature shoW greater diversity than non-canyon floras. Regression models revealed that presence of a canyon Was a better predictor of similarity between floras than was the distance betWeen them. This study documents the remarkable diversity found Within canyon systems and the critical, yet varied, habitat they provide in the southwestern U.S.

  • THE GENETIC CONTROL of TRISTYLY in Alleles Are Found at Each Locus. Variations Occur in the Dominance and Made to Collect Indivi
    Heredity (1976),37 (3), 387-393 THE GENETIC CONTROL OF TRISTYLY IN OXALIS SECTION IONOXALIS STEPHEN G. WELLER Department of Biological Sciences, University of II! mo is at Chicago Circle, Chicago, Illinois 60680 Received26.iv.76 SUMMARY Progeny ratios from crosses utilising six tristylous species of Oxalis section lonoxalis indicate that expression of style forms in this section is generally controlled by two loci which are tightly linked. In diploid species one locus controls the expression of the short style form versus non-short, while the second locus controls the expression of the mid and long style forms. The short allele is epistatic to the mid-long locus, where mid is dominant to long. Control of tristyly is similar in polyploid species, although linkage cannot be detected because of chromosome duplication. Fixation or loss of the mid-long locus would allow the remaining short versus non-short locus to segregate equal numbers of shorts and longs, thus providing a genetic basis for control of distyly. 1. INTRODUCTION GENETIC investigations of tristylous species have generally shown that expression of style forms is controlled by a two locus system where two alleles are found at each locus. Variations occur in the dominance and linkage relationships between the loci. In Lythrum salicaria (Lythraceae) and some species of Oxalis (Oxalidaceae) the short allele at the short versus non-short locus is epistatic to the mid-long locus (Fisher and Mather, 1943; Fyfe, 1950). The two loci are unlinked in L)thrum, although linkage has been demonstrated for those species of Oxalis which have been investigated.

Timberline occurs at (3700) 3900 m, and at 4750 m vascular plants cease to exist. The alpine vascular flora comprises 237 species from 46 families and 130 genera. Asteraceae (44), Poaceae (42), and Caryophyllaceae (21) possess 45% of the species; none of the remaining families have more than 10 species. Four species are strict endemics, and eight others are near endemics. Thirteen species are restricted to alpine vegetation but also occur outside the study area. Seventy-seven species are endemic to Mexico, 35 of which are endemic to the TMVB. In terms of biogeography, the strongest affinities are with Central or South America. Fifteen species are also native to the Old World. Size of the alpine area seems to not be the determining factor for its floristic diversity. Instead, the time since and extent of the last volcanic activity, in addition to the distance from other alpine islands, appear to be important factors affecting diversity.

  • A Palynological Study of Selected American Members of Oxalis L
    A PALYNOLOGICAL STUDY OF SELECTED AMERICAN MEMBERS OF OXALIS L. AZIEB A. WOLDETINSAE Assignment presented in partial fulfilment ofthe requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in the Faculty of Natural Sciences at the University of Stellenbosch Supervisors: Drs. L. L. Dreyer and E. M. Marais December 2003 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION I, the undersigned, herby declare that the work contained in this assignment is my own original work and has not previously in its entirety or part been submitted at any university for a degree. A. A Woldetinsae Date 2 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za SUMMARY Oxalis L. has two centres of diversity, one in South-Central America and the other in southern Africa. Previous palynological studies of southern Africa Oxalis revealed four main pollen types, namely rugulate-reticulate, micro-rugulate-spinate, reticulate and supra-areolate (Dreyer 1996). The reticulate pollen type is further divided into 15 subtypes, out of which five have a monotypic status. The supra-areolate pollen type is divided into four subtypes based on exine structure. The reticulate pollen type is the most common pollen type within the South African members of Oxalis. The three remaining main pollen types display more complex exine structures and are therefore considered more derived than the reticulate pollen type. The present study assessed the pollen of 50 American Oxalis species with three main objectives: 1. To observe pollen type variations among American members of Oxalis, 2. To compare pollen types from the two centres of diversity, and 3. To assess which centre of diversity house the palynologically more advanced species of Oxalis.
