    Literature Cited Robert W. Kiger, Editor This is a consolidated list of all works cited in volumes 19, 20, and 21, whether as selected references, in text, or in nomenclatural contexts. In citations of articles, both here and in the taxonomic treatments, and also in nomenclatural citations, the titles of serials are rendered in the forms recommended in G. D. R. Bridson and E. R. Smith (1991). When those forms are abbre- viated, as most are, cross references to the corresponding full serial titles are interpolated here alphabetically by abbreviated form. In nomenclatural citations (only), book titles are rendered in the abbreviated forms recommended in F. A. Stafleu and R. S. Cowan (1976–1988) and F. A. Stafleu and E. A. Mennega (1992+). Here, those abbreviated forms are indicated parenthetically following the full citations of the corresponding works, and cross references to the full citations are interpolated in the list alphabetically by abbreviated form. Two or more works published in the same year by the same author or group of coauthors will be distinguished uniquely and consistently throughout all volumes of Flora of North America by lower-case letters (b, c, d, ...) suffixed to the date for the second and subsequent works in the set. The suffixes are assigned in order of editorial encounter and do not reflect chronological sequence of publication. The first work by any particular author or group from any given year carries the implicit date suffix “a”; thus, the sequence of explicit suffixes begins with “b”. Works missing from any suffixed sequence here are ones cited elsewhere in the Flora that are not pertinent in these volumes.

In this plan, we will briefly introduce the physical and biological setting, past land use, and current uses of the Domain. The remainder of the plan consists of an assessment of the forest, which has been divided into six conservation areas. These conservation areas contain multiple management compartments, and the six areas have similarities in topographical position and past land use. Finally, the desired future condition and project summary of each conservation area and compartment has been outlined. Background The University of the South consists of an academic campus (382 acres) with adjacent commercial and residential areas (783 acres) that are embedded within and surrounded by diverse natural lands (11,838 acres). The term “Domain” is used interchangeably to describe both the entire ~13,000 acres and the 11,800-acre natural land matrix (also referred to as the “Greater Domain”).

  • Biological Assessment for the Planning Rule
    Biological Assessment for Threatened, Endangered, and Proposed Species, and Designated and Proposed Critical Habitat for The National Forest System 2008 Final Land Management Planning Rule Background The Forest Service has prepared a final environmental impact statement (FEIS) to examine the potential environmental impacts associated with promulgating the 2008 planning rule. The 2008 rule establishes a new process for developing future land management plans for the National Forest System (NFS). The purpose of the 2008 rule is to replace and improve upon the 2000 planning rule by providing a planning process that is readily understood, is within the agency’s capability to implement, is consistent with the capabilities of NFS lands, and recognizes the strategic programmatic nature of planning. The 2008 planning rule meets the requirements of the National Forest Management Act (NFMA) while making cost effective and efficient use of resources allocated to the Agency for land management planning. Background regarding the development of the rule is provided in the preamble to the rule (72 Fed. Reg. 48514 (August 23, 2007)). The purpose of this analysis is to comply with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California order on 30 March 2007 (Civil No. C04-4512-PJH, Judge Hamilton presiding) regarding the Forest Service obligations under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This analysis has been prepared to examine whether the Final 2008 planning rule for NFS Land Management Planning has effects on threatened, endangered, and proposed (TEP) species or on designated and proposed critical habitat. The promulgation of the 2008 planning rule is not a major construction activity as defined in the implementing regulations of the ESA (50 CFR 402.02) and the Forest Service has reached a “No Effect” determination.

  • Genomic Variation in Helianthus: Learning from the Past and Looking to the Future Michael B
    BRIEFINGS IN FUNCTIONAL GENOMICS. VOL 13. NO 4. 328 ^340 doi:10.1093/bfgp/elu004 Genomic variation in Helianthus: learning from the past and looking to the future Michael B. Kantar, Gregory J. Baute, Dan G. Bock and Loren H. Rieseberg Advance Access publication date 3 March 2014 Abstract Helianthus is an economically important and genetically diverse genus, containing both evolutionary model species and cultivated species. Genetic variation within this genus has been examined at many different scales, from genome size changes to chromosomal structure to nucleotide variation. The growing amount of genomic resources within the genus has yielded insights into the importance of paleopolyploid events, and how transposable elements can cause rapid genome size increases. The rapidly evolving chromosomes in Helianthus have provided a system whereby it has been possible to study how chromosomal rearrangements impact speciation, adaptation and intro- gression. Population and quantitative genetic studies have used the abundant nucleotide variation to identify a number of candidate genes which may be involved in both local adaptation and domestication. The results from these investigations have provided basic knowledge about evolution and how to utilize genetic resources for both agriculture and conservation. Targeting Helianthus for further study as new technologies emerge will allow for a better understanding of how different types of genomic variation interact and contribute to phenotypic variation in a complex system that is ecologically and economically significant. Keywords: transposableelements;karyotype;nucleotidevariation;hybridization;speciation INTRODUCTION karyotyping methods and high-throughput DNA Genetic variation is the raw material that natural and sequencing, it is now possible to assess genome- artificial selection acts on.
