Barcoding the Asteraceae of Tennessee, Tribe Coreopsideae
Schilling, E.E., N. Mattson, and A. Floden. 2014. Barcoding the Asteraceae of Tennessee, tribe Coreopsideae. Phytoneuron 2014-101: 1–6. Published 20 October 2014. ISSN 2153 733X BARCODING THE ASTERACEAE OF TENNESSEE, TRIBE COREOPSIDEAE EDWARD E. SCHILLING, NICHOLAS MATTSON, AARON FLODEN Herbarium TENN Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology University of Tennessee Knoxville, Tennessee 37996 [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT Results from barcoding studies of tribe Coreopsideae for the Tennessee flora using the nuclear ribosomal ITS marker are presented and include the first complete reports for 2 of the 20 species of the tribe that occur in the state, as well as updated reports for several others. Sequence data from the ITS region separate most of the species of Bidens in Tennessee from one another, but species of Coreopsis, especially those of sect. Coreopsis, have ITS sequences that are identical (or nearly so) to at least one congener. Comparisons of sequence data to GenBank records are complicated by apparent inaccuracies of older sequences as well as potentially misidentified samples. Broad survey of C. lanceolata from across its range showed little variability, but the ITS sequence of a morphologically distinct sample from a Florida limestone glade area was distinct in lacking a length polymorphism that was present in other samples. Tribe Coreopsideae is part of the Heliantheae alliance and earlier was often included in an expanded Heliantheae (Anderberg et al. 2007) in which it was usually treated as a subtribe (Crawford et al. 2009). The tribe shows a small burst of diversity in the southeastern USA involving Bidens and Coreopsis sect. -

Clark2, and Erin A. Tripp1,2,4 ABSTRACT.—Despite a dearth of biological study in the area, the Purgatory Watershed concentrated in southeastern Colorado and northeastern New Mexico is home to a number of unique land formations and endemic organisms. At onetime nonarable land where Dust Bowl storms of the 1930s originated, the Purgatory Watershed is presently home to the Comanche National Grasslands, the Picketwire Canyonlands, and the expansive Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site. -
Population Genetics and Genetic Structure in San Joaquin Woolly

Baldwin Bureau of Land Management – UC Berkeley Grant/Cooperative Agreement Number: L12AC20073 Susan Bainbridge Jepson Herbarium 1001 VLSB #2465 University of California Berkeley, CA 94720 Ryan O’Dell Bureau of Land Management California & Bruce Baldwin UC Berkeley INTRODUCTION Conservation of genetic variability is one of the most important and concrete measures ecologists and land managers can implement to maintain viability for specific organisms vulnerable to climate change and to increase success of restoration. Genetic diversity via adaptation and gene flow can help organisms increase chances of surviving environmental changes (Anderson et al. 2012, Reusch et al. 2005, Jump et al. 2008, Doi et al. 2010). Genetic diversity is also threatened by climate change by erosion due to range shifts and/or reductions (Aguilar et al. 2008, Alsos et al. 2012). Genetic diversity is also an important criterion for restoration and conservation planning, and prioritizing protection of populations. For plant taxa with a declining or limited geographical range or declining populations, perspective on regional and local genetic structure and history is important for developing effective management and restoration planning. Genetic diversity and the processes that shape or maintain that diversity are considered integral for population viability. Inherently rare taxa or those that have had a reduction in population size or an increase in fragmentation may have low levels of genetic variability, in addition to other factors. This increases their vulnerability to inbreeding depression and changes in environmental conditions. At the same time, these taxa are also more vulnerable to unintended consequences of restoration or attempts at enhancement, such as insufficient genetic sampling; swamping of rare genotypes or alleles; or hampered local adaptation by introduction of non-local material. -
Chromosome Numbers in Compositae, XII: Heliantheae
SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO BOTANY 0 NCTMBER 52 Chromosome Numbers in Compositae, XII: Heliantheae Harold Robinson, A. Michael Powell, Robert M. King, andJames F. Weedin SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS City of Washington 1981 ABSTRACT Robinson, Harold, A. Michael Powell, Robert M. King, and James F. Weedin. Chromosome Numbers in Compositae, XII: Heliantheae. Smithsonian Contri- butions to Botany, number 52, 28 pages, 3 tables, 1981.-Chromosome reports are provided for 145 populations, including first reports for 33 species and three genera, Garcilassa, Riencourtia, and Helianthopsis. Chromosome numbers are arranged according to Robinson’s recently broadened concept of the Heliantheae, with citations for 212 of the ca. 265 genera and 32 of the 35 subtribes. Diverse elements, including the Ambrosieae, typical Heliantheae, most Helenieae, the Tegeteae, and genera such as Arnica from the Senecioneae, are seen to share a specialized cytological history involving polyploid ancestry. The authors disagree with one another regarding the point at which such polyploidy occurred and on whether subtribes lacking higher numbers, such as the Galinsoginae, share the polyploid ancestry. Numerous examples of aneuploid decrease, secondary polyploidy, and some secondary aneuploid decreases are cited. The Marshalliinae are considered remote from other subtribes and close to the Inuleae. Evidence from related tribes favors an ultimate base of X = 10 for the Heliantheae and at least the subfamily As teroideae.

Literature Cited
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. -
