FOREWORD Teachers, supervisors, principals,members of the De Kalb Board ofEducation, and the school administration areseeking to develop a comprehensive programof educational opportunities for De Kalb boysand girls and adults. The FernbankScience Center for natural and space sciences is a partof the plan. It is a fine example ofwhat is possible where an effort is made toseek ways to improve and expandeducational opportunities and services. The forest provides P. livinglaboratory, and it is supplemented bythe Science Center where boys and girls and adultswill have access to an electronmicroscope, an observa- tory, and a Zeiss planetarium,with supporting laboratories andinstructional facilities. Plans for the future include aMuseum of Natural History, anaquarium, and green- houses, with a considerable acreagefor botanical gardens. A competent faculty has beendeveloped. Instructional materials arebeing prepared, and already many thousands ofboys and girls and adults areparticipating in the in- structional program. This handbook on7orest Curriculum is a portion of thematerials which are being developed forinterpreting and for using efficientlythis facility of the De Kalb County School System.

The center basicallyconsists of two well coordinatedentities. The first is sented by a majestic sixty repre- acre primeval forest which is beingutilized as a living labora- tory for instruction in the life sciences. Programs provideinnumerable opportunities for observation of principlesbasic to the understanding and appreciation of ecology,tax- onomy, conservation and ornithology.Second, it is representedby a physical center second to none, in relation to its quality of totalinstrumentation, as wellas its in- structional value. Its assets will include the nation'sthird largest planetarium,a modern electron microscope laboratory,the second largestobservatory in the eastern United States, staff and student research facilities,a controlled environmentroom for plant growth research and study, a professionally equipped meteorologicallaboratory, a science reference library of extreme merit, and modern classroomsequipped with closed circuit television. Every entity within the Fernbank ScienceCenter is &signed tocontribute toward maximum utilization of the center in accordwith its primaly purpose of public instruction. The Fernbank Science Center is under the supervisionof the De Kalb CountyBoard of Education, Itwas through the foresight and effortsof Mr. Jim Cherry, of De Kalb County Schools, Superintendent and the Fernbank Boardof Trustees, thatagreement was reached enabling the acquisition of the climaxoak-hickory forest throughan extended lease, as well as the construction of one of the nation's leadingscience facilities dedi- cated to the enhancementof public and communityeducation. The following material is designed primarily tofamiliarize teachers with thetypes of programs available throughthe Fernbank ScienceCenter. It should be carefully that the center's function is noted a supplementary one in relation to thecurriculums taught within classrooms throughoutGeorgia. 1 SCHEDULING INFORMATION It is of primary importance that the subject matter considered at the center be coordinated with the classroom material it is intended to supplement. It is recommended that each teacher attempt to schedule field experiences early enough in the year to insure obtaining aa effective correlation of field and classroom in- struction. For maximum efficiency in scheduling the following procedure should be followed: 1. Scheduling should be developed on a departmental or subject area basis in order to achieve maximum efficiency in the scheduling of transportation from a particular school. Once a desired schedule is developed it should be submitted to the principal for approval. 2.Transportation arrangements and confirmatiou of scheduled dates through the Fernbank Science Center shall be the responsibility of the principal. Final schedule arrangements through the center can be made by contacting the Fernbank Science Center office at 373-2561. 3.Information necessary for completion of schedule arrangements will include: school, principal, sponsoring teachers, curriculum desired, time of arrival, time of scheduled departure, and the number of students expected to attend. 4. It is important that arrival and departure times be followed according to each school's allotted period of instruction. Due to heavy demand on forest scheduling, departure times will be considered firm in order not to penalize later group's instruction time due to a previous group's late arrival. 5.Programs usually require fifty minutes to one hour for complete instruction in any given area. Student groups are limited to approximately thirty students per instructor in accord with forest pro- gram methodology which requires complete instructor-student communication during an instructional

Robbin Moran New York Botanical Garden George Yatskievych and Ann Larson Missouri Botanical Garden Jan De Laet, plantsystematics.org Th is pdf is a companion publication to Rhode Island Equisetopsida, Lycopodiopsida & Isoetopsida at among-ri-wildfl owers.org Th e Elfi n Press 2016 Introduction Formerly known as fern allies, Horsetails, Club-mosses, Fir-mosses, Spike-mosses and Quillworts are plants that have an alternate generation life-cycle similar to ferns, having both sporophyte and gametophyte stages. Equisetopsida Horsetails date from the Devonian period (416 to 359 million years ago) in earth’s history where they were trees up to 110 feet in height and helped to form the coal deposits of the Carboniferous period. Only one genus has survived to modern times (Equisetum). Horsetails Horsetails (Equisetum) have jointed stems with whorls of thin narrow leaves. In the sporophyte stage, they have a sterile and fertile form. Th ey produce only one type of spore. While the gametophytes produced from the spores appear to be plentiful, the successful reproduction of the sporophyte form is low with most Horsetails reproducing vegetatively. Lycopodiopsida Lycopodiopsida includes the clubmosses (Dendrolycopodium, Diphasiastrum, Lycopodiella, Lycopodium , Spinulum) and Fir-mosses (Huperzia) Clubmosses Clubmosses are evergreen plants that produce only microspores that develop into a gametophyte capable of producing both sperm and egg cells. Club-mosses can produce the spores either in leaf axils or at the top of their stems. Th e spore capsules form in a cone-like structures (strobili) at the top of the plants.

  • Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE
    Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE LILIACEAE de Jussieu 1789 (Lily Family) (also see AGAVACEAE, ALLIACEAE, ALSTROEMERIACEAE, AMARYLLIDACEAE, ASPARAGACEAE, COLCHICACEAE, HEMEROCALLIDACEAE, HOSTACEAE, HYACINTHACEAE, HYPOXIDACEAE, MELANTHIACEAE, NARTHECIACEAE, RUSCACEAE, SMILACACEAE, THEMIDACEAE, TOFIELDIACEAE) As here interpreted narrowly, the Liliaceae constitutes about 11 genera and 550 species, of the Northern Hemisphere. There has been much recent investigation and re-interpretation of evidence regarding the upper-level taxonomy of the Liliales, with strong suggestions that the broad Liliaceae recognized by Cronquist (1981) is artificial and polyphyletic. Cronquist (1993) himself concurs, at least to a degree: "we still await a comprehensive reorganization of the lilies into several families more comparable to other recognized families of angiosperms." Dahlgren & Clifford (1982) and Dahlgren, Clifford, & Yeo (1985) synthesized an early phase in the modern revolution of monocot taxonomy. Since then, additional research, especially molecular (Duvall et al. 1993, Chase et al. 1993, Bogler & Simpson 1995, and many others), has strongly validated the general lines (and many details) of Dahlgren's arrangement. The most recent synthesis (Kubitzki 1998a) is followed as the basis for familial and generic taxonomy of the lilies and their relatives (see summary below). References: Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (1998, 2003); Tamura in Kubitzki (1998a). Our “liliaceous” genera (members of orders placed in the Lilianae) are therefore divided as shown below, largely following Kubitzki (1998a) and some more recent molecular analyses. ALISMATALES TOFIELDIACEAE: Pleea, Tofieldia. LILIALES ALSTROEMERIACEAE: Alstroemeria COLCHICACEAE: Colchicum, Uvularia. LILIACEAE: Clintonia, Erythronium, Lilium, Medeola, Prosartes, Streptopus, Tricyrtis, Tulipa. MELANTHIACEAE: Amianthium, Anticlea, Chamaelirium, Helonias, Melanthium, Schoenocaulon, Stenanthium, Veratrum, Toxicoscordion, Trillium, Xerophyllum, Zigadenus.

  • Phylogeography of Finches and Sparrows
    In: Animal Genetics ISBN: 978-1-60741-844-3 Editor: Leopold J. Rechi © 2009 Nova Science Publishers, Inc. Chapter 1 PHYLOGEOGRAPHY OF FINCHES AND SPARROWS Antonio Arnaiz-Villena*, Pablo Gomez-Prieto and Valentin Ruiz-del-Valle Department of Immunology, University Complutense, The Madrid Regional Blood Center, Madrid, Spain. ABSTRACT Fringillidae finches form a subfamily of songbirds (Passeriformes), which are presently distributed around the world. This subfamily includes canaries, goldfinches, greenfinches, rosefinches, and grosbeaks, among others. Molecular phylogenies obtained with mitochondrial DNA sequences show that these groups of finches are put together, but with some polytomies that have apparently evolved or radiated in parallel. The time of appearance on Earth of all studied groups is suggested to start after Middle Miocene Epoch, around 10 million years ago. Greenfinches (genus Carduelis) may have originated at Eurasian desert margins coming from Rhodopechys obsoleta (dessert finch) or an extinct pale plumage ancestor; it later acquired green plumage suitable for the greenfinch ecological niche, i.e.: woods. Multicolored Eurasian goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) has a genetic extant ancestor, the green-feathered Carduelis citrinella (citril finch); this was thought to be a canary on phonotypical bases, but it is now included within goldfinches by our molecular genetics phylograms. Speciation events between citril finch and Eurasian goldfinch are related with the Mediterranean Messinian salinity crisis (5 million years ago). Linurgus olivaceus (oriole finch) is presently thriving in Equatorial Africa and was included in a separate genus (Linurgus) by itself on phenotypical bases. Our phylograms demonstrate that it is and old canary. Proposed genus Acanthis does not exist. Twite and linnet form a separate radiation from redpolls.

  • Wfs57 Southern Wet Ash Swamp Factsheet
    WET FOREST SYSTEM WFs57 Southern Floristic Region Southern Wet Ash Swamp Wet hardwood forests on mucky or peaty soils in areas of groundwater seepage, most often on level stream or river terraces at bases of steep slopes. Community is uncommon and often present as small inclusions within larger forest areas. Vegetation Structure & Composition Description is based on summary of vegetation data from 32 plots (relevés) • Ground layer is characterized by raised peaty hummocks, with open pools and rivulets in seepage areas. Wetland species such as common marsh marigold (Caltha palustris), touch-me-nots (Impatiens spp.), and fowl manna grass (Glyceria striata) are common in wet areas, with Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus spp.), jack-in-the-pulpit (Ari- saema triphyllum), wood nettle (Laportea canadensis), wild geranium (Geranium mac- ulatum), common enchanter’s nightshade (Circaea lutetiana), tall coneflower (Rud- beckia laciniata), and other mesic or wet- mesic forest species present on hummocks. Skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus), false mermaid (Floerkea proserpinacoides), brome-like sedge (Carex bromoides), and smooth-sheathed sedge (C. laevivaginata) are sometimes abundant in seepage zones and in Minnesota are essentially restricted to this community. • Shrub layer is sparse (5-25% cover). Black ash seedlings or saplings are almost always present, often with wild black currant (Ribes americanum), chokecherry (Prunus virginiana), and nannyberry (Viburnum lentago). • Subcanopy, when present, is patchy to interrupted (25-75% cover) and generally not well differentiated from canopy. • Canopy is patchy to interrupted, with trees often absent from localized areas of groundwater discharge and in some instances limited to margins of the community around open peaty upwelling zones.

BACKGROUND and PURPOSE In an effort to encourage the protection of native Maine plants that are naturally reduced or low in number, the State Planning Office has compiled a list of endangered and threatened plants. Of Maine's approximately 1500 native vascular plant species, 155, or about 10%, are included on the Official List of Maine's Plants that are Endangered or Threatened. Of the species on the list, three are also listed at the federal level. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. has des·ignated the Furbish's Lousewort (Pedicularis furbishiae) and Small Whorled Pogonia (lsotria medeoloides) as Endangered species and the Prairie White-fringed Orchid (Platanthera leucophaea) as Threatened. Listing rare plants of a particular state or region is a process rather than an isolated and finite event.

Much of its current North American and European distribution was covered in ice or uninhabitable tundra during the Pleistocene. Here we use DNA sequences and AFLP data to investigate the genetic variation of the fiddlehead fern at two geographic scales to infer the historical biogeography of the species. Matteuccia struthiopteris segregates globally into minimally divergent (0.3%) Eurasian and American lineages.
