ANOVA is used to test hypotheses about differences between two or more means without increasing the Type I error rate. ANOVA is employed to test whether the mean (or average) for butterfly abundance for a given year or on a given transect is statistically different than another year or transect. Correlation - Tests for a relationship between two variables. Endangered - Any species which is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range, other than a species of the class Insecta determined by the Secretary to constitute a pest whose protection under the provision of this Act would prevent an overwhelming and overriding risk to man (Federal Endangered Species Act, 1973). Endangered Species Act - The Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended, 16 U.S.C. Sections 1531-1543. The State of California also has an endangered species act which is referred to as the California Endangered Species Act (CESA). Invasive Species - Non-native species of plants or animals that out-compete native species in a specific habitat. Fixed transects - Permanently marked transects that are surveyed year after year. Fixed transects provide a means to compare butterfly observations from year to year at specific locations using standard statistical procedures. Fixed points - Permanently marked points that are surveyed year after year. Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) - The San Bruno Mountain Area Habitat Conservation Plan as adopted by the County Board

    Lepidoptera of Albany Hill, Alameda Co., California

    LEPIDOPTERA OF ALBANY HILL, ALAMEDA CO., CALIFORNIA Jerry A. Powell Essig Museum of Entomology University of California, Berkeley and Robert L. Langston Kensington, CA November 1999; edited 2009 The following list summarizes observations of Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) at Albany Hill, Alameda Co., California, during 1995-1999. Data originate from about 75 daytime and crepuscular visits of 0.5 to 3.5 hrs, in all months of the year. All of the butterfly species and some of the moths were recorded by RLL, most of the moth species and their larval host plants by JAP. A total of 145 species is recorded (30 butterflies, 115 moths), a modest number considering the extent and diversity of the flora. However, many of the potential larval host plants may be present in too small patches to support populations of larger moths or butterflies. Nonetheless, we were surprised that colonies of some of the species survive in a small area that has been surrounded by urban development for many decades, including some rare ones in the East Bay region, as annotated below. Moreover, the inventory is incomplete. A more comprehensive census would be accomplished by trapping moths attracted to ultraviolet lights. In a habitat of this size, however, such survey would attract an unknown proportion of species from surrounding areas. Larval collections are indicated by date-based JAP lot numbers (e.g. 95C37 = 1995, March, 37th collection). Larval foods of most of the other species are documented in other populations. Host plants are recorded at Albany Hill for 75 species (65% of the moths, 52% of the total); the rest were observed as adults only.

    Landscape Tools

    Know your Landscape Tools Long handled Round Point Shovel A very versatile gardening tool, blade is slightly cured for scooping round end has a point for digging. D Handled Round Point Shovel A versatile gardening tool, blade is slightly cured for scooping round end has a point for digging. Short D handle makes this an excellent choice where digging leverage is needed. Good for confined spaces. Square Shovel Used for scraping stubborn material off driveways and other hard surfaces. Good for moving small gravel, sand, and loose topsoil. Not a digging tool. Hard Rake Garden Rake This bow rake is a multi-purpose tool Good for loosening or breaking up compacted soil, spreading mulch or other material evenly and leveling areas before planting. It can also be used to collect hay, grass or other garden debris. Leaf rake Tines can be metal or plastic. It's ideal for fall leaf removal, thatching and removing lawn clippings or other garden debris. Tines have a spring to them, each moves individually. Scoop Shovel Grain Shovel Has a wide aluminum or plastic blade that is attached to a short hardwood handle with "D" top. This shovel has been designed to offer a lighter tool that does not damage the grain. Is a giant dust pan for landscapers. Edging spade Used in digging and removing earth. It is suited for garden trench work and transplanting shrubs. Generally a 28-inch ash handle with D-grip and open-back blade allows the user to dig effectively. Tends to be heavy but great for bed edging.
  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny

    Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny

    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese
