Kindscher, and J. Delisle. A Survey of Natural Area Sites in Cherokee County, Kansas. Open-File Report No. 125. Kansas Biological Survey. Lawrence, KS. iii+33 pp. Abstract During the summer and fall of 2005, the Kansas Biological Survey surveyed 29 high- quality natural areas in Cherokee County. The high-quality prairie communities that were surveyed during this study were Unglaciated Tallgrass Prairie, Low Prairie, and Hardpan Prairie. The high-quality forests surveyed in this study are classified as Ozark Upland Forest. Based on the site surveys, we determined species richness values and floristic quality index (FQI) scores for each parcel. Species richness varied from 133 to 35. FQI scores ranged from a high of 43.6 to 19.5 for the lowest. State ranked rare plant species were identified at 28 of the 29 sites for a total of 118 new state records. We suggest several management recommendations for landowners as well as opportunities for both landowners and planning commissions to conserve some of these biologically rich tracts of land. A ranking of preservation priorities is provided along with a map showing the locations of the high-quality prairies and forests in Cherokee County. -

Petersen Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, University of Tennessee Knoxville, TN 37919-1100 Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract—The Morrill Act of 1862 afforded the US states the opportunity to found state colleges with agriculture as part of their mission—the so-called “land-grant colleges.” The Hatch Act of 1887 gave the same opportunity for agricultural experiment stations as functions of the land-grant colleges, and the “third Morrill Act” (the Smith-Lever Act) of 1914 added an extension dimension to the experiment stations. Overall, the end of the 19th century and the first quarter of the 20th was a time for growing appreciation for, and growth of institutional education in the natural sciences, especially botany and its specialties, mycology, and phytopathology. This paper outlines a particular genealogy of mycologists and plant pathologists representative of this era. Professor Albert Nelson Prentiss, first of Michigan State then of Cornell, Professor William Russel Dudley of Cornell and Stanford, Professor Mason Blanchard Thomas of Wabash College, and Professor Herbert Hice Whetzel of Cornell Plant Pathology were major players in the scenario. The supporting cast, the students selected, trained, and guided by these men, was legion, a few of whom are briefly traced here. Key words—“New Botany,” European influence, agrarian roots Chapter 1.

PART II PERSONAL PAPERS and ORGANIZATIONAL RECORDS Allen, Paul Hamilton, 1911-1963 Collection 1 RG 4/1/5/15 Photographs, 1937-1959 (1.0 Linear Feet)
PART II PERSONAL PAPERS AND ORGANIZATIONAL RECORDS Allen, Paul Hamilton, 1911-1963 Collection 1 RG 4/1/5/15 Photographs, 1937-1959 (1.0 linear feet) Paul Allen was a botanist and plantsman of the American tropics. He was student assistant to C. W. Dodge, the Garden's mycologist, and collector for the Missouri Botanical Garden expedition to Panama in 1934. As manager of the Garden's tropical research station in Balboa, Panama, from 1936 to 1939, he actively col- lected plants for the Flora of Panama. He was the representative of the Garden in Central America, 1940-43, and was recruited after the War to write treatments for the Flora of Panama. The photos consist of 1125 negatives and contact prints of plant taxa, including habitat photos, herbarium specimens, and close-ups arranged in alphabetical order by genus and species. A handwritten inventory by the donor in the collection file lists each item including 19 rolls of film of plant communities in El Salvador, Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. The collection contains 203 color slides of plants in Panama, other parts of Central America, and North Borneo. Also included are black and white snapshots of Panama, 1937-1944, and specimen photos presented to the Garden's herbarium. Allen's field books and other papers that may give further identification are housed at the Hunt Institute of Botanical Documentation. Copies of certain field notebooks and specimen books are in the herbarium curator correspondence of Robert Woodson, (Collection 1, RG 4/1/1/3). Gift, 1983-1990. ARRANGEMENT: 1) Photographs of Central American plants, no date; 2) Slides, 1947-1959; 3) Black and White photos, 1937-44. -

Two years later construction began on the seminary building and professor’s house. In 1823 Baynard Rush Hall was hired as the first professor to teach in the seminary. Classes began in 1824 with an enrollment of ten men, although the construction of the seminary building was not completed until the following year. In 1828 the seminary was transformed into Indiana College. Andrew Wylie became the college’s first president in 1829, and held that office until 1851. In 1830 the college’s first class graduated. Additional construction expanded the campus, and in 1838 it became known as Indiana University (IU). -

Ledyard Stebbins, Jr., Plant Evolution, and the Evolutionary Synthesis Vassiliki Betty Smocovitis Department of Zoology and History University of Florida Gainesville, FL 32611, USA ABSTRACT – This paper explores the complex relationship between the plant evolu- tionist G. Ledyard Stebbins and the animal evolutionist Theodosius Dobzhansky. The manner in which the plant evolution was brought into line, synthesized, or rendered consistent with the understanding of animal evolution (and especially insect evolution) is explored, especially as it culminated with the publication of Stebbins’s 1950 book Variation and Evolution in Plants. The paper explores the multi-directional traffic of influence between Stebbins and Dobzhansky, but also their social and professional net- works that linked plant evolutionists like Stebbins with Edgar Anderson, Carl Epling, and the ‘Carnegie team’ of Jens Clausen, David Keck, and William Hiesey with collab- orators on the animal side like I. Michael Lerner, Sewall Wright and L.C. Dunn and other ‘architects’ of the synthesis like Ernst Mayr, Julian Huxley and George Gaylord Simpson. The compatibility in training, work styles, methodologies, goals, field sites, levels of analysis, and even choice of organismic systems is explored between Stebbins and Dobzhansky. Finally, the extent to which coevolution between plants and insects is reflected in the relationship is explored, as is the power dynamic in the relationship between two of the most visible figures associated with the evolutionary synthesis.
