Abstract The Rocky Mountain apollo butterfly, Parnassius smintheus, and its host- plant Sedum lanceolatum, are endemic to open alpine meadows threatened by the encroachment of trees. I explore variability in interactions between P. smintheus and S. lanceolatum relative to the treeline-delimited meadow edge, and consider the consequences of continued tree encroachment for these and other species facing similar threats. First, I demonstrate that S. lanceolatum distribution and quality vary relative to the meadow edge, with plants near the treeline being both more abundant and more nutritious than those elsewhere in the meadow. Next, I show that this variation influences both oviposition and larval feeding by P.

  • Nectar Flower Use and Electivity by Butterflies in Sub-Alpine Meadows

M ATTER Department of Biological Sciences and Center for Environmental Studies, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati OH 45221-0006; email: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Nectar flowers are an important resource for most adult butterflies. Nectar flower electivity was evaluated for the pierid butterflies Pontia occidentalis (Reak.), Colias nastes Bdv., Colias christina Edw., Colias meadii Edw., Colias philodice Godt., and Pieris rapae (L.), and the nymphalid Nymphalis milberti (Godt.). Butterflies were observed in a series of sub-alpine meadows in Kananaskis Country, Alberta, Canada. A total of 214 observations of nectar feeding were made over four years. The butterflies were found to nectar on a range of species of flowering plants. Despite the variety of flower species used, there was relative consis- tency in use among butterfly species. Tufted fleabane (Erigeron caespitosus Nutt.) and false dandelion (Agoseris glauca (Pursh) Raf.) were the flowers most frequently elected by these butterflies. Additional key words: Alpine, habitat quality, preference, Pieridae, Nymphalidae, host plants, Kananaskis Country, Alberta INTRODUCTION resource is particularly valuable having appropriate For most species of butterflies, nectar is the main viscosity, sugar content, amino acids or other nutrients. source of food energy in the adult stage.

  • Flora of the Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory Annotated Catalog of Vascular Plants
    Flora of the Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory Annotated Catalog of Vascular Plants Updated June 2013 Ann M. Howald This updated catalog for the flora of the Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory (SNARL) includes all vascular plants identified during field studies conducted from 1978 through spring 2013. Taxonomic nomenclature is mainly consistent with The Jepson Manual, Second Edition (Baldwin et al. 2012). The families, genera, and species are arranged alphabetically. The scientific name of each species is followed by a common name of popular usage. No attempt was made to determine all common names that might apply to a given species. Scientific names of native species are in bold type; those of introduced species are in plain type. Annotations for all taxa include: 1) life form (e.g., annual herb, perennial herb, etc.); 2) flower color; and 3) the general abundance and distribution at SNARL. For flowering plants, the approximate flowering period in the eastern Sierra is given. Locations of most landscape features mentioned in the text (e.g., headquarters building, stream control structure 3, etc.) and numbering of the stream control structures, are as shown on current maps of SNARL. The most recent previously applied scientific name is given in brackets. A voucher specimen deposited at a herbarium participating in the Consortium of California Herbaria (CCH) is cited for most taxa. A set of duplicate herbarium specimens is housed at SNARL. DIVISION SPHENOPHYTA Equisetaceae. Horsetail Family Equisetum laevigatum A. Braun. Smooth Scouring Rush. Rhizomatous perennial herb. Occasional in moist areas near Convict Creek, near the laboratory and other buildings.

COGBILL 82 Walker Lane, Plainfield, VT 05667 ABSTRACT. The influence of substrate lithology on the distribution of many vascular and nonvascular plants has long been recognized, especially in alpine, subalpine, and other rocky habitats. In particular, plants have been classified as dependent on high-calcium substrates (i.e., calcicoles) based on common restriction to habitats developed in calcareous rocks, such as limestone and marble. In a classic 1907 paper on the influence of substrate on plants, M. L. Fernald singled out a particular meadow on Mont de la Table in the Chic-Choc Mountains of Que´bec for its unusual co-occurrence of strict calcicole and calcifuge (i.e., acidophile) plant taxa. We re-located this site, investigated substrate factors responsible for its unusual plant diversity, and documented current plant distributions. No calcareous rocks were found on site. However, inclusions of calcareous rocks were found farther up the mountain. The highest pH and dissolved calcium concentrations in surface waters were found in a series of springs that deliver groundwater, presumably influenced by calcareous rocks up the slope. Within the habitat delineated by common occurrences of calcicole species, available soil calcium varied by a factor of five and soil pH varied by almost 1.5 units, depending on microtopography and relative connection with groundwater.

  • The Status and Distribution of Christ's Indian
    THE STATUS AND DISTRIBUTION OF CHRIST'S INDIAN PAINTBRUSH (CASTILLEJA CHRISTII) AND DAVIS' WAVEWING (CYMOPTERUS DAVISII) IN THE ALBION MOUNTAINS, SAWTOOTH NATIONAL FOREST AND CITY OF ROCKS NATIONAL RESERVE by Robert K. Moseley Conservation Data Center Natural Resource Policy Bureau October 1993 Idaho Department of Fish and Game 600 South Walnut, P.O. Box 25 Boise, Idaho 83707 Jerry M. Conley, Director Cooperative Challenge Cost-share Project Sawtooth National Forest Idaho Department of Fish and Game Purchase Order No. 43-0267-3-0188 ABSTRACT The Albion Mountains of Cassia County, Idaho, are an isolated massif rising over 5,000 feet above the eastern Snake River Plain. This high elevation "island" contains two endemic plants along its crest, Castilleja christii (Christ's Indian paintbrush) and Cymopterus davisii (Davis' wavewing). Due to their very restricted range, both are candidates for federal listing under the Endangered Species Act and are Intermountain Region Forest Service Sensitive Species. Castilleja christii occurs only on the summit of Mount Harrison at the north end of the Albion Mountains. Cymopterus davisii is somewhat more widespread, occurring on Mount Harrison with Castilleja christii and on Independence Mountain and Graham Peak at the southern end of the range. In late July 1993, I delineated the known populations of these two species, as well as thoroughly searched potential habitat for additional populations. I found no new populations, although I greatly expanded the Independence Mountain population of Cymopterus davisii. The single paintbrush population occupies approximately 200 acres on the summit plateau of Mount Harrison and consists of several thousand individuals. I estimate that over 100,000 Davis' wavewing individuals occupy around 314 acres on Mount Harrison, several hundred thousand occupy at least 370 acres on Independence Mountain, and the small population on Graham Peak contains between 500-1000 individuals.
