Moore, Ph D Research Assistant Professor Detainment of Biological Sciences David M. Burdick, Ph.D. Research Associate Professor Department of Natural Resources and The Environment Christopher D. Neefus, Ph.D. Professor Department of Biological Sciences Date DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to two remarkable young men I had the privilege to know: Abram Schneck and Adrian Wilson. Your passion for the planet was contagious and you touched every person you came in contact with. You both made this world a better place and are both greatly missed by all. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the guidance and the help of several individuals who in one way or another made critical contributions. First I want to thank Dr. Garrett Crow for helping me to find my way to aquatic plants and for always inspiring me. I would like to thank my adviser Dr. Gregg Moore, for helping me dip my toes into the tidal waters, for his nearly endless patience during revisions and editing, and for all his advice throughout my time at UNH. I would also like to thank my committee members Dr. David Burdick and Dr. Chris Neefus for their guidance and support. I would like to thank those who financially funded my research: the University of New Hampshire Graduate School, the Department of Biological Sciences (UNH), and Great Bay Stewards. Special thanks must be given to Dr. Janet Sullivan and Dr. Jessica Bolker for their encouragement and to Jessie Knapp, Jason Goldstein, Jason Lambert, and Rita Ciambra for their humor, help with edits, and for helping to keep me going when things got rough. Many thanks must be given to my family for their love and support. I would especially like to acknowledge my grandfather who passed away shortly before the end of my study. He shared his love of the outdoors with me always believed I could do anything. Finally, I would like to thank Benjamin P. Griffith who helped in more ways than can be expressed in an acknowledgements section. v TABLE OF CONTENTS DEDICATION iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS v LIST OF TABLES vii LIST OF FIGURES viii ABSTRACT x CHAPTER PAGE 1.

(NH NHB 2007). 1.2 Species examined and their towns where there are historical and/or current records 11 (NH NHB 2011). BTRM = Brackish tidal riverbank marsh, FP = Forb Panne, SM = Saltmarsh. 1.3 Recent change in the status of five selected plants in New Hampshire and their status 12 in other states where listed. (SC = Special Concern, S = Sensitive, T =Threatened, E = Endangered, X = Extirpated). CHAPTER 2 2.1 Number of populations (Pop.) and Subpopulations (Subpop.) based on the New 36 Hampshire Natural Heritage Bureau database (Appendix A.1) compared to current spatial analysis of historic data and current surveys. 2.2 Preferred salinity and salt regime(s) for each species. 37 2.3 Test statistic (W) for Shapiro-Wilk test of normality and associated p-values. Lower p- 38 values indicate lower likelihood that the data came from a normally distributed sample. 2.4 Mean salinity measurements (ppt) for 2009 and 2010 at Beckman's Island as well as 39 the t-test statistic and associated p-value for each test. 2.5 Observed aspects for each species as well as the expected aspects.

Location Worldwide, with an emphasis on South America and Australasia. Methods Divergence times were estimated employing a Bayesian approach (beast) with fossil pollen of basal apioids as calibration points and using a data set of nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (nrDNA ITS) sequences from 284 accessions of Apioideae. Additionally, maximum-likelihood analyses were performed for data subsets comprising Apium, Daucus and Lilaeopsis. For Chaerophyllum, maximum-likelihood and beast analyses were carried out using combined chloroplast DNA and ITS data. Biogeographical scenarios were inferred using diva and lagrange. Results The sister group to Aciphylleae is the Sino-Himalayan Acronema clade and the divergence between these two lineages is dated at 34.8 Ma, whereas the radiation of Aciphylleae started 11.0 Ma.

Washington, D.C. 20240 Kieran Suckling, the Greater Gila Biodiversity Project, the Southwest Center For Biological Diversity, and the Biodiversity Legal Foundation, hereby formally petition to list the Huachuca Water Umbell (Lilaeopsis schaffneriana subspecies recurva) as endangered pursuant to the Endangered Species Act, 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq. (hereafter referred to as "ESA"). This petition is filed under 5 U.S.C. 553(e) and 50 CFR 424.14 (1990), which grants interested parties the right to petition for issue of a rule from the Assistant Secretary of the Interior. Petitioners also request that Critical Habitat be designated concurrent with the listing, pursuant to 50 CFR 424.12, and pursuant to the Administrative Procedures Act (5 U.S.C. 553). Petitioners understand that this petition action sets in motion a specific process placing definite response requirements on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and very specific time constraints upon those responses. Petitioners Kieran Suckling is a Doctoral Candidate, endangered species field researcher, and conservationist. He serves as the Director of the Greater Gila Biodiversity Project and has extensively studied the status and natural history of Lilaeopsis schaffneriana subspecies recurva. The Greater Gila Biodiversity Project is a non-profit public interest organization created to protect imperiled species and habitats within the Greater Gila Ecosystem of southwest New Mexico and eastern Arizona.

Hill, L. schaffneriana ssp. recurva FAMILY: Apiaceae AUTHOR, PLACE OF PUBLICATION: A.W. Hill, J. Linn. Soc. Bot. 47: 525-551. 1927. TYPE LOCALITY: Santa Cruz Valley near Tucson, Pima County, Arizona, U.S.A. TYPE SPECIMEN: LT: GH. C.G. Pringle s.n. 19 May 1881. LT: US. ST: NY, GH. TAXONOMIC UNIQUENESS: In the genus Lilaeopsis, the species schaffneriana is 1 of 5 species in North America, and contains only 1 variety recurva. According to Affolter (1985), “The genus Lilaeopsis Greene contains approximately 20 species. It is well developed in the temperate zones of North America, South America, Australia and New Zealand. 6 or 7 species recognized in North America.” According to NatureServe (2003), “The USFWS listed this taxon as Lilaeopsis schaffneriana ssp. recurva (Federal Register, Jan. 6, 1997). As of 11/31/99, L. schaffneriana var. recurva is used in its List of Endangered and Threatened Plants. The latter rank, is also used by Kartesz (1999). However, subspecies seems to be the rank used by Affolter (1985, p. 61), and is accepted in the Gray Index (online, 8/2000).” It is also used by the Missouri Botanical Garden (2003). DESCRIPTION: Herbaceous, semi-aquatic to aquatic perennial with cylindrical, wavy, yellowish green, slender hollow leaves borne individually or in clusters, that grow from the nodes of creeping rhizomes; inconspicuous septa at irregular intervals.
