2012 Wyoming Plant Species of Concern List Bonnie Heidel Wyoming Natural Diversity Database, University of Wyoming www.uwyo.edu/wyndd/ April 7, 2012 The 2012 Wyoming Plant Species of Concern list contains the 434 vascular plant species/varieties considered to be of greatest conservation concern in the state. All changes since the 2007 list are bold-faced. It is accompanied by the Species of Potential Concern list, containing those species of limited distribution that could become vulnerable in the future, and species recognized as sensitive by federal agencies that are no longer tracked. There are also lists compiled of species added since 2007, species deleted since 2007, and species of undetermined status. The 2012 list and related lists reflect new efforts to standardize state ranks in rule-based calculations plus peer reviews. The methods and background are presented at the end of the list. Codes and definitions are posted on-line. These lists follow the taxonomic treatments in Dorn (2001). Species Scientific Heritage Rank Federal County Managed Area Range Context # Occurs.

    ALPLAINS 2013 SEED CATALOG P.O. BOX 489, KIOWA, CO 80117-0489, U.S.A. Three ways to contact us: FAX: (303) 621-2864 (24 HRS.) email: [email protected] website: www.alplains.com Dear Growing Friends: Welcome to our 23rd annual seed catalog! The summer of 2012 was long, hot and brutal, with drought afflicting most of the U.S. Most of my botanical explorations were restricted to Idaho, Wash- ington, Oregon and northern California but even there moisture was below average. In a year like this, seeps, swales, springs, vestigial snowbanks and localized rainstorms became much more important in my search for seeding plants. On the Snake River Plains of southern Idaho and the scab- lands of eastern Washington, early bloomers such as Viola beckwithii, V. trinervata, Ranunculus glaberrimus, Ranunculus andersonii, Fritillaria pudica and Primula cusickiana put on quite a show in mid-April but many populations could not set seed. In northern Idaho, Erythronium idahoense flowered extensively, whole meadows were covered with thousands of the creamy, pendant blossoms. One of my most satisfying finds in the Hells Canyon area had to be Sedum valens. The tiny glaucous rosettes, surround- ed by a ring of red leaves, are a succulent connoisseur’s dream. Higher up, the brilliant blue spikes of Synthyris missurica punctuated the canyon walls. In southern Oregon, the brilliant red spikes of Pedicularis densiflora lit up the Siskiyou forest floor. Further north in Oregon, large populations of Erythronium elegans, Erythronium oregonum ssp. leucandrum, Erythro- nium revolutum, trilliums and sedums provided wonderful picture-taking opportunities. Eriogonum species did well despite the drought, many of them true xerics.

    Species Relationships and Farina Evolution in the Cheilanthoid Fern

A. 2 Missouri Botanical Garden, P.O. Box 299, St. Louis, Missouri 63166 U. S. A. 3 Author for correspondence ( [email protected] ) Communicating Editor: Lynn Bohs Abstract— Convergent evolution driven by adaptation to arid habitats has made it difficult to identify monophyletic taxa in the cheilanthoid ferns. Dependence on distinctive, but potentially homoplastic characters, to define major clades has resulted in a taxonomic conundrum: all of the largest cheilanthoid genera have been shown to be polyphyletic. Here we reconstruct the first comprehensive phylogeny of the strictly New World cheilanthoid genus Argyrochosma . We use our reconstruction to examine the evolution of farina (powdery leaf deposits), which has played a prominent role in the circumscription of cheilanthoid genera. Our data indicate that Argyrochosma comprises two major monophyletic groups: one exclusively non-farinose and the other primarily farinose. Within the latter group, there has been at least one evolutionary reversal (loss) of farina and the development of major chemical variants that characterize specific clades. Our phylogenetic hypothesis, in combination with spore data and chromosome counts, also provides a critical context for addressing the prevalence of polyploidy and apomixis within the genus. Evidence from these datasets provides testable hypotheses regarding reticulate evolution and suggests the presence of several previ- ously undetected taxa of Argyrochosma.

Professor of Biology Chair of Committee Ma, Hong Professor of Biology Altman, Naomi Professor of Statistics dePamphilis, Claude W Professor of Biology Dissertation Adviser Douglas Cavener Professor of Biology Head of Department of Biology *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the application of evolutionary theory and methods in understanding the plastid genome of nonphotosynthetic parasitic plants and role of mutations in tumor proliferations. We explore plastid genome evolution in parasitic angiosperms lineages that have given up the primary function of plastid genome – photosynthesis. Genome structure, gene contents, and evolutionary dynamics were analyzed and compared in both independent and related parasitic plant lineages. Our studies revealed striking similarities in changes of gene content and evolutionary dynamics with the loss of photosynthetic ability in independent nonphotosynthetic plant lineages. Evolutionary analysis suggests accelerated evolution in the plastid genome of the nonphotosynthetic plants. This thesis also explores the application of phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis in cancer biology. Although cancer has often been likened to Darwinian process, very little application of molecular evolutionary analysis has been seen in cancer biology research. In our study, phylogenetic approaches were used to explore the relationship of several hundred established cancer cell lines based on multiple sequence alignments constructed with variant codons and residues across 494 and 523 genes.

    NWI Notes to the User for North Slope 1:63,360 Scale Maps

    NATIONAL WETLANDS INVENTORY NOTES TO THE USER FOR NORTH SLOPE 1:63,360 SCALE MAPS INTRODUCTION The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has major responsibility for the protection and proper management of fish, wildlife and their habitats. The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act authorizes the Secretary of the Interior "to make surveys and investigations of the wildlife of the public domain including lands and waters or interests therein acquired or controlled by an agency of the United States" (16 U.S.C. 669). This Act expands the concept of wildlife and wildlife resources to include not only animal life but also all types of "aquatic and land vegetation upon which wildlife is dependent." Within the last thirty years, a large amount of wetland modification has occurred. Increased emphasis on wetland preservation and management has been expressed through presidential executive orders and recent legislation. Amendments to the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466) specify a major role for the National Wetlands Inventory (Inventory) in the administration of that Act. The Emergency Wetlands Act of 1986 (16 U.S.C. 3901) directs the Service to continue the inventory of wetlands through 1998. The Service has always recognized the importance of wetlands to waterfowl and other migratory birds. Consequently, the Service has a direct interest in protecting wetlands, especially the waterfowl breeding and overwintering wetlands. Wetlands, however, also provide a wealth of other values for the public including: (1) Fish and shellfish protection. (2) Furbearer and other wildlife production. (3) Habitats for threatened or endangered plants and animals.

Recent findings based on molecular methods led to revision of its volume. However, most of these studies lacked species from Eurasia, where a lot of previous taxonomic treatments of the subtribe exist. In this study we used molecular phylogenetics methods with internal transcribed spacer (ITS) as a marker to resolve evolutionary relations between representatives of the subtribe Asterinae from Siberia, Kazakhstan, and the European part of Russia. Our reconstruction revealed that a clade including all Asterinae species is paraphyletic. Inside this clade, there are species with unresolved basal positions, for example Erigeron flaccidus and its relatives. Moreover, several well-supported groups exist: group of the genera Galatella, Crinitaria, Linosyris, and Tripolium; group of species of North American origin; and three related groups of Eurasian species: typical Eurasian asters, Heteropappus group (genera Heteropappus, Kalimeris), and Asterothamnus group (genera Asterothamnus, Rhinactinidia).
