From the rio to the sierra: An environmental history of the Middle Rio Grande Basin. General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-5. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 440 p. Abstract Various human groups have greatly affected the processes and evolution of Middle Rio Grande Basin ecosystems, especially riparian zones, from A.D. 1540 to the present. Overgrazing, clear-cutting, irrigation farming, fire suppression, intensive hunting, and introduction of exotic plants have combined with droughts and floods to bring about environmental and associated cultural changes in the Basin. As a result of these changes, public laws were passed and agencies created to rectify or mitigate various environmental problems in the region. Although restoration and remedial programs have improved the overall “health” of Basin ecosystems, most old and new environmental problems persist. Keywords: environmental impact, environmental history, historic climate, historic fauna, historic flora, Rio Grande Publisher’s Note The opinions and recommendations expressed in this report are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the USDA Forest Service.

  • Reconstructing the Basal Angiosperm Phylogeny: Evaluating Information Content of Mitochondrial Genes
    55 (4) • November 2006: 837–856 Qiu & al. • Basal angiosperm phylogeny Reconstructing the basal angiosperm phylogeny: evaluating information content of mitochondrial genes Yin-Long Qiu1, Libo Li, Tory A. Hendry, Ruiqi Li, David W. Taylor, Michael J. Issa, Alexander J. Ronen, Mona L. Vekaria & Adam M. White 1Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, The University Herbarium, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-1048, U.S.A. [email protected] (author for correspondence). Three mitochondrial (atp1, matR, nad5), four chloroplast (atpB, matK, rbcL, rpoC2), and one nuclear (18S) genes from 162 seed plants, representing all major lineages of gymnosperms and angiosperms, were analyzed together in a supermatrix or in various partitions using likelihood and parsimony methods. The results show that Amborella + Nymphaeales together constitute the first diverging lineage of angiosperms, and that the topology of Amborella alone being sister to all other angiosperms likely represents a local long branch attrac- tion artifact. The monophyly of magnoliids, as well as sister relationships between Magnoliales and Laurales, and between Canellales and Piperales, are all strongly supported. The sister relationship to eudicots of Ceratophyllum is not strongly supported by this study; instead a placement of the genus with Chloranthaceae receives moderate support in the mitochondrial gene analyses. Relationships among magnoliids, monocots, and eudicots remain unresolved. Direct comparisons of analytic results from several data partitions with or without RNA editing sites show that in multigene analyses, RNA editing has no effect on well supported rela- tionships, but minor effect on weakly supported ones. Finally, comparisons of results from separate analyses of mitochondrial and chloroplast genes demonstrate that mitochondrial genes, with overall slower rates of sub- stitution than chloroplast genes, are informative phylogenetic markers, and are particularly suitable for resolv- ing deep relationships.

The lack of knowledge concerning Verhuellia is largely due to its restricted distribution, poorly known collection localities, limited availability in herbaria and absence in botanical gardens and lack of material suitable for molecular phylogenetic studies until recently. Because Verhuellia has some of the most reduced flowers in Piperales, the reconstruction of floral evolution which shows strong trends towards reduction in all lineages needs to be revised. † Methods Verhuellia is included in a molecular phylogenetic analysis of Piperales (trnT-trnL-trnF and trnK/matK), based on nearly 6000 aligned characters and more than 1400 potentially parsimony-informative sites which were partly generated for the present study. Character states for stamen and carpel number are mapped on the combined molecular tree to reconstruct the ancestral states.

  • Vascular Plants of the University of California, Irvine Ecological Preserve
    VASCULAR PLANTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, IRVINE ECOLOGICAL PRESERVE PETER A. BOWLER Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California, Irvine, California 92697-2525, — and — DAVID BRAMLET 1691 Mesa Drive, #A2, Santa Ana, California 92707. ABSTRACT: The University of California, Irvine’s (UCI) Ecological Preserve is a 62- acre (25 hectares) habitat fragment enclosed by urban development, freeways, and other roads. Roughly 25 acres (10 hectares) are Venturan-Diegan transitional sage scrub and 37 acres (15.4 hectares) are grassland. Based upon 35 years of records, the sage scrub and grassland include two ferns and approximately 202 angiosperm species, 66 species of which are not native (32.6%), from 43 families. Added to this are species that were deliberately introduced as part of a University mitigation, consisting of created vernal pools, coastal sage scrub restoration, a wetland mitigation along one edge of the Preserve, and species intruding from adjacent faculty housing. Thus, the total flora consists of two ferns and 226 angiosperm species in 54 families. The most represented families include the Asteraceae (40 species), Poaceae (30 spp.), Brassicaceae (13 spp.), Fabaceae (12 spp.), Boraginaceae (10 spp.), Liliaceae (9 spp.) and the Apiaceae (8 spp.). Most of the species are vouchered in IRVC. KEYWORDS: University of California, Irvine (UCI) Ecological Preserve, San Joaquin Hills, vascular plants, Irvine, Orange County, coastal sage scrub restoration, restoration, created vernal pools.
