Southwestern Rare and Endangered Plants
The Importance of Competition in the Isolation and Establishment of Helianthus Paradoxus (Asteraceae) 1 OSCAR W. VAN AUKEN AND JANIS. K. BUSH Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Texas at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX 78249 1Author for correspondence and reprints. FAX 210-458-5658; E-mail [email protected] ABSTRACT: Helianthus paradoxus (the Pecos or puzzle sunflower) is a threatened, federally listed annual species that is found in a few locations in west Texas and New Mexico. Two greenhouse experiments were conducted to evaluate the ability of H. paradoxus to compete with its progenitors and a with potential ecosystem competitor, Distichlis spicata (saltgrass) in simulated salt marsh and non-salt marsh environments. The results were usually dependent on soil salinity. Helianthus paradoxus was the better competitor in high saline soil and its progenitor H. annuus (common sunflower) was the better competitor in low saline soil. However, H. paradoxus was the better competitor in both high and low saline soils when compared to it progenitor H. petiolaris (plains sunflower) and to D. spicata, an ecosystem competitor. The ability of H. paradoxus to tolerate higher saline conditions, and perhaps even restrict the more geographically widespread H. annuus in saline soils may have allowed H. paradoxus to establish, become genetically isolated and survive as a species in inland salt marshes. Data presented here indicate that while H. paradoxus can grow in low saline soil, interference from H. annuus in low saline soils could restrict H. paradoxus to saline environments within salt marshes. The ability of H. paradoxus to out-compete D. -

Spanish Pyrenees 15 – 22 June 2016
Spanish Pyrenees 15 – 22 June 2016 Participants Sue and Peter Burge Elonwy and Peter Crook Helen and Malcolm Crowder Jackie and Ray Guthrie Ann Stearns Leader Chris Gibson, who also wrote this report. Our hosts: Melanie and Peter Rich at Casa Sarasa www.casasarasa.com Photos by Chris Gibson (CG), Helen Crowder (HC) and Peter Crook (PC), all taken during this holiday. At the end of this report there are photos of some of the non-British moths seen during the week. Front cover: enjoying Aisa valley (CG). Below: eating outside on the last evening (CG) and the green pastures of the upper Hecho valley (HC). This holiday, as for every Honeyguide holiday, also puts something into conservation in our host country by way of a contribution to the wildlife that we enjoyed, in this case for La Sociedad Española de Ornitología (SEO), the Spanish Ornithological Society, and its work in Aragón. The conservation contribution this year of £40 per person was supplemented by gift aid through the Honeyguide Wildlife Charitable Trust, leading to a total of £440 This donation brings the total given to SEO since the first Honeyguide holiday in Spain in 1991 to £16,745 (through all Honeyguide holidays, mostly the Spanish Pyrenees and Extremadura). As at July 2016, the total for all conservation contributions through Honeyguide since 1991 was £108,716. 2 DAILY DIARY Wednesday 15 June: The way there… What should have been a simple journey, Stansted to Biarritz then minibus to Berdún, had by 8pm turned out rather differently. After a series of delays due to thundery weather our flight eventually got onto French tarmac an hour late, where we were held on the plane because of the heavy rain, although any benefit from that was soon negated when we had to wait outside, in the continuing deluge, while another plane took off. -

Floristic Quality Assessment Report
FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT IN INDIANA: THE CONCEPT, USE, AND DEVELOPMENT OF COEFFICIENTS OF CONSERVATISM Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) the State tree of Indiana June 2004 Final Report for ARN A305-4-53 EPA Wetland Program Development Grant CD975586-01 Prepared by: Paul E. Rothrock, Ph.D. Taylor University Upland, IN 46989-1001 Introduction Since the early nineteenth century the Indiana landscape has undergone a massive transformation (Jackson 1997). In the pre-settlement period, Indiana was an almost unbroken blanket of forests, prairies, and wetlands. Much of the land was cleared, plowed, or drained for lumber, the raising of crops, and a range of urban and industrial activities. Indiana’s native biota is now restricted to relatively small and often isolated tracts across the State. This fragmentation and reduction of the State’s biological diversity has challenged Hoosiers to look carefully at how to monitor further changes within our remnant natural communities and how to effectively conserve and even restore many of these valuable places within our State. To meet this monitoring, conservation, and restoration challenge, one needs to develop a variety of appropriate analytical tools. Ideally these techniques should be simple to learn and apply, give consistent results between different observers, and be repeatable. Floristic Assessment, which includes metrics such as the Floristic Quality Index (FQI) and Mean C values, has gained wide acceptance among environmental scientists and decision-makers, land stewards, and restoration ecologists in Indiana’s neighboring states and regions: Illinois (Taft et al. 1997), Michigan (Herman et al. 1996), Missouri (Ladd 1996), and Wisconsin (Bernthal 2003) as well as northern Ohio (Andreas 1993) and southern Ontario (Oldham et al. -

Simpson The Eli Kirk Price Endowed Flora of Pennsylvania Intern Date: June 2008 Anstract: Solidago speciosa var. speciosa or “showy goldenrod” is a threatened Pennsylvania plant with only a handful of known populations. Little is known about the mechanisms this species employs to perpetuate a population. To understand the role that reproductive modes play in the limited distribution of this goldenrod and the relative importance of sexual reproduction and clonal growth, the genetic diversity, clonal structure and pollinator abundance of three Solidago speciosa var. speciosa populations from Montgomery County were investigated. To test the hypothesis that S. speciosa var. speciosa, like other goldenrods, is capable of clonal growth Inter- Simple Sequence Repeats were used. Ten primers have supported the importance of clonal growth in the FCL and FCU populations while a more complex reproductive history is needed to explain the BS population. -

Then quickly loading up the minibus we were soon on our way on to the autoroute, before turning off and skirting Montpellier by means of the new by-pass. As we started to climb up onto the scenic Corniche des Cevennes, wonderful views started to unfold on both sides of the road, with Mont Lozere to the north and Mont Aigoual to the south west. We then descended to Florac, crossing the River Tarnon and skirted the town past the old railway station before turning onto the road to Cocurès, our base for the week. As we arrived at the hotel, la Lozerette, Pierette was there to greet us, and we were quickly allocated our rooms, before enjoying the first of the week’s very good dinners. In the meantime some of the group saw their first raptor of the week when a Short-toed Eagle flew low over the hotel. -
