Finley. 1990. Proceedings of the third annual symposium on the natural history of lower Tennessee and Cumberland river valleys. Center for Field BiQlogy, Austin Peay State University, Clarksville, Tennessee. PREFACE On the 2nd and 3rd of March 1990 over eighty students of regional natural history and field biology gathered for the Third Annual Symposium on the Natural History of Lower Cumberland and Tennessee River Valleys held at Brandon Spring Group Camp in the Land Between The Lakes. This symposium was sponsored by The Center for Field Biology at Austin Peay State University and the Tennessee Valley Authority's Land Between The Lakes. Environmental assessment was the focus of Friday's invited papers session. Dr. Thomas Barr from the University of Kentucky spoke on ecology and evolution of our region's cave fauna and the human impact on this interesting, but threatened ecosystem. Dr. James Gore, formerly of the University of Tulsa and now with The Center for Field Biology, presented a summary of his activities in stream disturbance ecology and discussed the potential role of island biogeography models for predicting stream recovery from disturbance. Dr. Stephen Klaine of the Environmental Health and Toxicological Research Institute at Memphis State University spoke about the tremendous environmental burden of agricultural nonpoint source pollution and the Institutes research concerning pesticide mobility and fate in soils. The papers written by the invited speakers are published in full here. Following the evening meal Mr. Ralph Ward of Land Between The Lakes' Homeplace - 1850 gave an interesting presentation on efforts of the Minor Breeds Conservancy to preserve genetic diversity of domesticated livestock through the maintenance of hardy, health, and productive minor breeds. The remainder of the evening was spent in casual conversation - biological and otherwise. Eleven botany and nine zoology papers were presented during two concurrent contributed papers sessions on Saturday morning. The speaker in these sessions had the opportunity to publish in these proceedings either complete papers or abstracts of their presentations. The style and format of these proceedings are based on those established in the previous two symposia proceedings. Journal abbreviations used in the literature cited sections of these papers follow the 1988 Serial Sources for the BIOSIS Datll Base, volume 1987, printed and distributed by BlOSIS, 2100 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103-1399.

This mushroom intoxication is ascribed to 35 amatoxin-containing species belonging to three genera: Amanita, Galerina, and Lepiota. The major amatoxins, the a-, b-, and g-amanitins, are bicyclic octapeptide derivatives that damage the liver and kidney via irreversible binding to RNA polymerase II. Methods: The mycology and clinical syndrome of amatoxin poisoning are reviewed. Clinical data from 2108 hospitalized amatoxin poisoning exposures as reported in the medical literature from North America and Europe over the last 20 years were compiled. Preliminary medical care, supportive measures, specific treatments used singly or in combination, and liver transplantation were characterized. Specific treatments consisted of detoxication procedures (e.g., toxin removal from bile and urine, and extra- corporeal purification) and administration of drugs.

BARR, JR. The University of Kentucky, Lexington Trechoblemus Ganglbauer is a genus of trechine beetles (Tre- chinae: Trechini: Trechina) previously known only from Europe and Asia. It formed the type genus of Jeannel's "S6rie phyl6tique de Trechoblemus". and is generally regarded as closely related to cavernicolous trechines in Japan, the Carpathians and Transylvanian Alps of eastern Europe, and eastern United States (Barr, I969; Jeannel, I928, I962; U6no and Yoshida, I966). The large cave beetle genus Pseudanophthalmus Jeannel, with approximately 75 species in caves of ten eastern States, the monobasic genus Nea- phaenops Jeannel, from Kentucky caves, and the dibasic genus ]gelsonites Valentine, ]rorn Tennessee and Kentucky, are part of the Trechoblemus complex. The apparent restriction of Trechoblemus to Eurasia led previous investigators to conclude that, with respect to the richly diverse trechine fauna in caves of eastern United States, "there are no im- mediate, ancestral genera now present in North America" (Barr, 969, p. 83). Although there is at least one edaphobitic (obligate in soil) species of American Pseudanophthalmus known (P. sylvaticus Barr, I967), in the mountains of West Virginia, it has already lost eyes, wings, and pigment, and merely indicates that many of the "regressive" evolutionary changes in ancestral Pseudanohthal- mus may have taken place in the soil or deep humus before the beetles became restricted to caves. Most of the species of Pseuda- nophthalmus from eastern Europe (Barr, 964) are also eyeless edaphobites.

This investigation was conducted in seven different areas of tropical moist deciduous forest region of Bangladesh namely Dhaka, Gazipur, Bogra, Rajshahi, Pabna, Jaipurhat and Dinajpur. Mushroom flora associated with these forest regions were collected, photographed and preserved. A total of fifty samples were collected and identified to fourteen genera and twenty four species.

    Tennessee Natural Heritage Program Rare Species Observations For Tennessee Counties This document provides lists of rare species known to occur within each of Tennessee's counties. If you are viewing the list in its original digital format and you have an internet connection, you may click the scientific names to search the NatureServe Explorer Encyclopedia of Life for more detailed species information. The following lists were last updated in July 2009 and are based on rare species observations stored in the Tennessee Natural Heritage Biotics Database maintained by the TDEC Natural Heritage Program. For definitions of ranks and protective status, or for instructions on obtaining a site specific project review, please visit our website: http://state.tn.us/environment/na/data.shtml If you need assistance using the lists or interpreting data, feel free to contact us: Natural Heritage Program Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation 7th Floor L&C Annex 401 Church Street Nashville, Tennessee 37243 (615) 532-0431 The lists provided are intended for use as planning tools. Because many areas of the state have not been searched for rare species, the lists should not be used to determine the absence of rare species. The lists are best used in conjunction with field visits to identify the types of rare species habitat that may be present at a given location. For projects that are located near county boundaries or are in areas of the state that have been under-surveyed (particularly in western Tennessee), we recommend that you check rare species lists for adjacent counties or watersheds as well.
