  • Species of Alaska Scolytidae: Distribution, Hosts, and Historical Review

HOLSTEN U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, FOREST SERVICE, FOREST HEALTH PROTECTION, ANCHORAGE, AK 99503 MARK E. SCHULTZ U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, FOREST SERVICE, FOREST HEALTH . PROTECTION, JUNEAU, AK 99508 ABSTRACT The species of Scolytidae in Alaska have not been compiled in recent times although many of them are included in earlier broader works. The authors of these works are summarized in a brief history of forest entomologists in Alaska. Fifty-four species of Alaskan Scolytidae are listed (23 species in the subfamily Hylesininae and 31 in the subfamily Scolytinae) belonging to 24 genera (II in Hylesininae and 13 in Scolytinae). Th ey in fest IS species of trees and shrubs of which 10 are conifers (host to 48 species of Scolytidae) and 5 are angiosperms (host to 6 species of Scolytidae). Fifty species are bark beetl es that inhabit phloem and four species are ambrosia beetles that live in sapwood. All are species native to Alaska. Keywords: Bark beetles, Scolytidae, conifers, angiosperms, Alaska INTRODUCTION The biographic regions of Alaska reflect the great expanse of that state, extending over a wide range of latitude, longitude, and elevation. In broad terms, these regions are characterized by a relatively mild and moist coastal climate, particularly in the southeast and coastal south-central areas; an extensive drier, colder climate in interior and northern Alaska; and numerous mountain ranges that attain the highest elevation on the continent.

To examine the biogeographic history of Tsuga, phylogenetic relationships among multiple accessions of all nine species were inferred using chloroplast DNA sequences and multiple cloned sequences of the nuclear ribosomal ITS region. Analysis of chloroplast and ITS sequences resolve a clade that includes the two western North American species, T. heterophylla and T. mertensiana, and a clade of Asian species within which one of the eastern North American species, T. caroliniana, is nested. The other eastern North American species, T. canadensis, is sister to the Asian clade. Tsuga chinensis from Taiwan did not group with T.

  • Western Hemlock Is an Important Corn- Mercial Softwood Species in the Western United States and Canada

Inland from the coast, it is found on the western slopes and upper eastern slopes of the Cascade Range of Washington and as far south in Oregon as the Siskiyou Mountains. Farther inland, western hemlock grows on the west side of the Continental Divide from just east of Prince George, British Columbia, south through north- em Idaho and northwestern Montana. About 80 percent of its distribution in the Rocky Mountains is in British Columbia. The fastest growing stands are found in &O the humid coastal regions of Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska, and on the lower slopes of the Cascade Range in Washington and . Oregon.

  • Distribution and Habitat Associations of the Northern Pygmy-Owl in Oregon
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Dawn M. Sater for the degree of Master of Science in Wildlife Science presentedon May 21. 1999. Title: Distribution and Habitat Associations of the Northern Pygmy-owl in Oregon. Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Eric D. Forsman I conducted acoustic lure surveys of northern pygmy-owls (Glaucidium gnoma)on transects that were systematically placed in forested areas throughout the state of Oregon. My objectives were to determine if pygmy-owlswere associated with particular forest types, ecoregions, or with large-diameter dominant overstory trees. I also examined temporal variation in response rates. All analyses accounted for decreases incounts of owls with increasing day of the surveyseason (P = 0.01) and with increasing time after sunrise (P = 0.06).Counts were highest in Douglas-fir, ponderosa pine and mixed conifer-hardwood forests, intermediate in mixed conifer, deciduousand high elevation forests, and lowest in western juniper (P= 0.0003). Even after accounting for forest type, numbers of owls detected variedamong ecoregions (P = 0.002). Counts of owls increased with the average diameter ranking ofdominant overstory trees (P = 0.000 1). Also, diameters of dominant treeswere greater at survey points where owls were detected than at survey points whereno owls were detected P = 0.008), and greater in the actual stands from which owls responded than around thesurvey points from which owls were detected (P = 0.0001). My data suggest that widespread decreases in large-diameter trees, or the late-successional forests in which such trees are most abundant, may reduce numbers of northern pygmy-owls. However, this finding needs to be viewed in the context that my surveys also show that the pygmy-owl is a well-distributed and fairly common forest bird in Oregon and is not limited to late-successional forest.

  • Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes
    Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes Shichao Chen1., Dong-Kap Kim2., Mark W. Chase3, Joo-Hwan Kim4* 1 College of Life Science and Technology, Tongji University, Shanghai, China, 2 Division of Forest Resource Conservation, Korea National Arboretum, Pocheon, Gyeonggi- do, Korea, 3 Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, United Kingdom, 4 Department of Life Science, Gachon University, Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do, Korea Abstract Phylogenetic analysis aims to produce a bifurcating tree, which disregards conflicting signals and displays only those that are present in a large proportion of the data. However, any character (or tree) conflict in a dataset allows the exploration of support for various evolutionary hypotheses. Although data-display network approaches exist, biologists cannot easily and routinely use them to compute rooted phylogenetic networks on real datasets containing hundreds of taxa. Here, we constructed an original neighbour-net for a large dataset of Asparagales to highlight the aspects of the resulting network that will be important for interpreting phylogeny. The analyses were largely conducted with new data collected for the same loci as in previous studies, but from different species accessions and greater sampling in many cases than in published analyses. The network tree summarised the majority data pattern in the characters of plastid sequences before tree building, which largely confirmed the currently recognised phylogenetic relationships. Most conflicting signals are at the base of each group along the Asparagales backbone, which helps us to establish the expectancy and advance our understanding of some difficult taxa relationships and their phylogeny.
