June 2013 Hic All, Aroline Learned from Her Outing to the Melton Place in March That There Are a Number of Fair Weather SCAN Members A ASSOC. OF LIN NA RO TU A R C A H L T IS U T O S S S C South Carolina Association of Naturalists S A H N D A L R R I N O G W Post Office Box 5651, Columbia, South Carolina 29250-5651 O L U A R R U SCAN E N AT C N OU HE NTER WITH T June 2013 HiC All, aroline learned from her outing to the Melton Place in March that there are a number of fair weather SCAN members. So she chose an outing with beautiful weather and her gamble paid off. We had a great turnout. Caroline brought a guest, Jen Fill. Jen is a biology student working on her PhD. Be sure to introduce yourself when she attends again. This was a joint outing with the Carolina Butterfly Society. The Flora/Fauna list was hansomly rewarded by their presence. Several SCAN members are also members of the CBS. Butterflying (habitats, larval food plants, seasons, etc.) greatly adds to outdoor enjoyment. Learn more: www.carolinabutterflysociety.org Attending were Mary Douglass, Tom Jones, Johnny Douglass, Jim Boylston, Jen Fill, Lynn Smith, Caroline Eastman, Quentin Webber, Bob & Marsha Hamlin, Carl Ganser, Dave & Marty Kastner, Dennis Forsyth, Charlie Williams, Jan Ciegler, Pat & Jerry Bright. Several of our members were attending the Hell Hole Swamp reptile blitz. Perhaps we should consider a joint outing next year. We may even get some new members. The land is managed for wildlife with mixed pine and hardwoods. Our paths consisted of old roads and firebreaks. Our soundscape included calls of the Northern Bobwhite. I remember their calls as a child but seldom hear them now. DNR sponsors computer aided draw hunts for quail. My frequente tastings revealed the abun- dent wild Chickasaw Plum trees were not quite ripe. A Persimmon along the trail was in bloom. The only other blooming Persimmon I can remember seeing was along the King- snake Trail in Congaree National Park. Our next outing will be another joint outing with CBS to Savannah Long Leaf Pine HP led by Gordon Murphy. On his scouting trip he saw many butterflies. He is a lover of pine savannahs and we will all enjoy his enthusiasm for the habitat. Jerry Bright Longleaf Pine Heritage Preserve - Lee County June 22, 2013, 10:30AM Gordon Murphy SCAN’s last trip to Longleaf Pine Heritage Preserve was in fall of 2000, so we should see some summer plants in bloom this time. During my scouting trip on June 1st, it was evident that the Preserve had recently been burned and a lot of the pine-savanna habitat was covered in a dense carpet of bracken fern. With all the rain we’ve had this year, the depression wetlands were full of water and the soil in the savanna was saturated to the surface. Al- though this is great news for the plants and amphibians, it is also great for the mosquitoes. I was immediately swarmed by them when I stepped out of my truck. We will be walking in on the service road as there are no trails. A lot can be seen along the edge of the road but I recommend sturdy shoes for getting out into the bracken fern to explore as a lot of the blooming plants are nestled in amongst the ferns. During the scouting trip I saw/heard 30 species of birds and had a great horned owl land in a tree a short distance from me. I was also fortunate enough to see a fox squirrel. Some of the plants that were in bloom include sundrops, goat’s rue, white wild indigo, sensitive brier, grass pink, hooded pitcher plant, colic root, narrow-leaved skullcap, meadow beauty, Samson snake root, and many others. Red-cockaded woodpeckers are present at the Preserve and Canby’s dropwort has been documented there. Even though it is way too early for it to be in bloom, I waded around the edges of the pond cypress depression wetland where the Canby’s dropwort was observed hoping to see some stems emerging, but didn’t see any. According to DNR’s database, American chaffseed has not been documented at the preserve, but suitable habitat is certainly present. Chaffseed blooms through the end of June so we should keep our eyes open for it. We will meet at the parking area off McKnight Road (County Road 101). Try to get there a few minutes early so we can begin our walk as close to 10:30 as possible, before the temperatures start to rise. From there we will walk along a service road, stopping to explore along the way. There are no restroom facilities present. As I mentioned earlier, the mosquitoes will be looking for a meal, so be prepared. I did not find any ticks on me but the habitat is excellent for them. Bring plenty of water and lunch to be eaten on our walk, as we will not be close to the vehicles.

Photo Hillary Loring. This Low Prairie is protected under the Wetlands Reserve Program of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Report submitted December 31, 2005. Citation: Loring, H., K. 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.

  • CERTAIN INSECT VECTORS of APLANOBACTER STEWARTI ' by F
    CERTAIN INSECT VECTORS OF APLANOBACTER STEWARTI ' By F. W. Poos, senior entomologist, Division of Cereal and Forage Insects, Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine; and CHARLOTTE ELLIOTT, associate pa- thologist, Division of Cereal Crops and Diseases, Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture ^ INTRODUCTION Bacterial wilt of corn (Zea mays L.) caused by Aplanobacter stewarti (E. F. Sm.) McC. was exceedingly destructive and more widely dis- tributed during 1932 and 1933 than during any previous time in the history of the disease. Since 1897, when it was first described by Stewart, it has been studied by a number of investigators whose work has pointed more and more toward insects as a means of dis- semination of the causal organism. Kand and Cash (7) ^ during 1920-23 found that bacterial wilt could be transmitted from diseased to healthy com plants by two species of flea beetles, Chaetocnema pulicaria Melsh. and C, denticulata (111.), and by the spotted cucum- ber beetle, Diabrotica duodecimpunctata (Fab.). IvanoíF (ö) reported transmission from diseased to healthy plants by the larval stage of the corn rootworm, Diabrotica longicornis (Say), as it attacked the roots of young seedling com plants. He also reported that the bac- teria of A. stewarti entered the corn plants through wounds made by white grubs, the larvae of Phyllophaga sp., feeding upon the roots in infested soil. A summary of this work, together with a brief review of the other literature on this disease, has recently appeared else- where (1), The results of experiments by previous investigators on soil trans- mission of the causal organism indicate that transmission through the soil to uninjured roots of com plants is exceedingly rare, if it ever occurs.

  • Enemy of My Enemy: Can the Rhizosphere Biota of Vincetoxicum Rossicum Act As Its “Ally” During Invasion?
    Enemy of my Enemy: Can the Rhizosphere Biota of Vincetoxicum rossicum Act as its “Ally” During Invasion? by Angela Dukes A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Environmental Biology Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Angela Dukes, November 2017 ABSTRACT Enemy of my Enemy: Can the Rhizosphere Biota of Vincetoxicum rossicum Act as its “Ally” During Invasion? Angela Dukes Advisors: Dr. Pedro Antunes University of Guelph, 2017 Dr. Kari Dunfield The ‘Enemy of my enemy’ (EE) is a major hypothesis in invasion ecology. It states that a non-native invader ‘accumulates generalist pathogens, which limit competition from indigenous competitors’. Few empirical studies have tested the EE hypothesis in plant invasions, especially on biotic rhizosphere interactions. Here, the EE hypothesis was tested by applying rhizosphere biota from the invasive plant Vincetoxicum rossicum (VIRO) to five co-occurring native plant species, and four native legume species, respectively. Each of the native plant species, and VIRO were grown under controlled conditions for three months, either in presence or absence of soil biota from VIRO invaded and non-invaded soils. Rhizosphere biota from invaded areas had variable effects among native plants (including legumes). It was concluded that the accumulation of rhizosphere enemies that ‘spill’ onto native plants may not be a major factor in the invasive success of VIRO. The EE hypothesis was not supported. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I deeply appreciated the patience of my supervisors: Dr. Kari Dunfield and Dr. Pedro Antunes. I worked in the Plant and Soil Ecology Lab at Algoma University with Dr.
