  • A Phylogeny of the Hubbardochloinae Including Tetrachaete (Poaceae: Chloridoideae: Cynodonteae)
    Peterson, P.M., K. Romaschenko, and Y. Herrera Arrieta. 2020. A phylogeny of the Hubbardochloinae including Tetrachaete (Poaceae: Chloridoideae: Cynodonteae). Phytoneuron 2020-81: 1–13. Published 18 November 2020. ISSN 2153 733 A PHYLOGENY OF THE HUBBARDOCHLOINAE INCLUDING TETRACHAETE (CYNODONTEAE: CHLORIDOIDEAE: POACEAE) PAUL M. PETERSON AND KONSTANTIN ROMASCHENKO Department of Botany National Museum of Natural History Smithsonian Institution Washington, D.C. 20013-7012 [email protected]; [email protected] YOLANDA HERRERA ARRIETA Instituto Politécnico Nacional CIIDIR Unidad Durango-COFAA Durango, C.P. 34220, México [email protected] ABSTRACT The phylogeny of subtribe Hubbardochloinae is revisited, here with the inclusion of the monotypic genus Tetrachaete, based on a molecular DNA analysis using ndhA intron, rpl32-trnL, rps16 intron, rps16- trnK, and ITS markers. Tetrachaete elionuroides is aligned within the Hubbardochloinae and is sister to Dignathia. The biogeography of the Hubbardochloinae is discussed, its origin likely in Africa or temperate Asia. In a previous molecular DNA phylogeny (Peterson et al. 2016), the subtribe Hubbardochloinae Auquier [Bewsia Gooss., Dignathia Stapf, Gymnopogon P. Beauv., Hubbardochloa Auquier, Leptocarydion Hochst. ex Stapf, Leptothrium Kunth, and Lophacme Stapf] was found in a clade with moderate support (BS = 75, PP = 1.00) sister to the Farragininae P.M. Peterson et al. In the present study, Tetrachaete elionuroides Chiov. is included in a phylogenetic analysis (using ndhA intron, rpl32- trnL, rps16 intron, rps16-trnK, and ITS DNA markers) in order to test its relationships within the Cynodonteae with heavy sampling of species in the supersubtribe Gouiniodinae P.M.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Demographic analysis of arrhenotokous parthenogenesis and bisexual reproduction Received: 10 October 2017 Accepted: 8 February 2018 of Frankliniella occidentalis Published: xx xx xxxx (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) Tianbo Ding1, Hsin Chi2, Ayhan Gökçe2, Yulin Gao3 & Bin Zhang 1 Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is a serious pest that is capable of bisexual and arrhenotokous reproduction. In arrhenotokous reproduction, virgin females initially produce male ofspring; later, when their sons are sexually mature, the mothers begin bisexual reproduction by carrying out oedipal mating with their sons. Because a virgin female produces many male ofspring before oedipal mating occurs, multiple oedipal mating is common. In this study, we investigated the efect of multiple oedipal mating on the population growth of F. occidentalis by using the age-stage, two-sex life table theory. In the arrhenotokous cohorts, all unfertilized eggs developed into males. In the bisexual cohorts, the ofspring sex ratio was signifcantly female biased with the mean number of female ofspring and male ofspring being 72.68 and 29.00, respectively. These were the same as the net reproductive rate of female ofspring and male ofspring. In arrhenotokous cohorts, the number of males available for oedipal mating signifcantly afected the production of female ofspring. The number of female ofspring increased as the number of sons available for oedipal mating increased. Correctly characterizing this unique type of reproduction will provide important information for predicting the timing of future outbreaks of F. occidentalis, as well as aiding in formulating successful management strategies against the species. Te western fower thrips (WFT), Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Tysanoptera: Tripidae), is one of the most economically important insect pests of many horticultural crops especially in greenhouses1,2.

  • The Effect of Plant Development on Thrips Resistance in Capsicum
    Arthropod-Plant Interactions https://doi.org/10.1007/s11829-018-9645-6 ORIGINAL PAPER The effect of plant development on thrips resistance in Capsicum Pauline van Haperen1,2 · Roeland E. Voorrips1 · Joop J. A. van Loon2 · Ben Vosman1 Received: 28 March 2018 / Accepted: 25 September 2018 © The Author(s) 2018 Abstract Western flower thrips [Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande)] is a worldwide pest insect that causes damage in pepper cul- tivation, so growers would benefit from host plant resistance. The objectives of this study were (1) to evaluate the effect of plant age on thrips resistance using nine Capsicum accessions with different levels of thrips resistance at three different plant ages, and (2) to study the effect of leaf age on thrips resistance in a resistant and a susceptible pepper accession. The fraction of first instar larvae that did not develop into second instar was used as a measure for thrips resistance. Our results show that plants start to develop thrips resistance when they are between 4 and 8 weeks old. This transition was most marked on the resistant accession CGN16975, on which about 50% of the L1 larvae developed into the next stage on 4-week-old plants, whereas none of them developed beyond the L1 stage on 8- or 12-week-old plants. Furthermore, it is shown that youngest fully opened leaves of the resistant accession CGN16975 are significantly more resistant to thrips than older leaves; 89% of the L1 larvae did not develop into the next stage on the youngest leaves, whereas 57% did not develop beyond the L1 stage on the oldest leaves.

Including strays, 122 species of butterflies have been confirmed in Iowa. However, since European settlement the populations of taxa of Iowa Lepidoptera have declined. While certain generalist species have experienced declines, species with life cycles that include native habitats, especially prairies and wetlands, have been particularly vulnerable. In a 1994 revision of the Iowa endangered and threatened species list, the Natural Resource Commission (NRC) listed two species of butterflies as endangered, five as threatened, and 25 as special concern, using general legal definitions of those rankings (NRC 1994).

  • Michigan Butterfly Network Handbook
    Michigan Butterfly Network Handbook Kalamazoo Nature Center 2018 Introduction Habitat loss and fragmentation have widespread effects on their respective plant and animal communities. Land managers and stewards must decide how to best approach site restoration, management, and conservation in this new and changing world. Specifically, population decline and species loss are critical components when developing a conservation plan. In Michigan, agricultural land usage has reduced the size of native prairie lands and drained wetlands, both of which are important habitats of plant and animal species, such as native butterflies. Butterflies are charismatic biological indicators that we can use to assess the effects of habitat augmentation and the general health of an ecosystem. Butterflies have unique life histories and specific habitat requirements. Long-term monitoring can be used to assess butterfly status and trends. Abundances can fluctuate from year to year due to sensitivities to climate and habitat structure and a multiple-year approach is necessary to assess how different species of native butterflies are responding to changes occurring in their natural environment over time. We can then use relative population densities of species in the field to assess land management programs and develop butterfly conservation programs. These methods will allow us to uncover population declines before it is too late. How can we monitor and assess butterfly population sizes and trends at a large, statewide scale? We can do this with the help of citizen scientists! We can collect data on butterfly species and populations in a region to gather information on long-term, large-scale trends with our standard monitoring protocol (methodology).

  • Purple Lovegrass (Eragrostis Spectabilis)
    Purple lovegrass ¤ The common name and Latin name are relatable. Eragrostis is derived from “Eros”, Eragrostis spectabilis the Greek word for love, and “Agrostis”, Family: Poaceae Genus: Eragrostis Species: spectabilis the Greek word for grass. Average Height: 24 inches Bloom Time: July and August Elevation Range: All elevations of the Piedmont, less common at high elevations. Geologic/Soil Associations: Generalist. Does well in nutrient-poor, sandy, rocky, or gravelly soil. Soil Drainage Regime: Xeric, dry-mesic, and mesic, well drained. Aspect: Full sun. East, South, & West. Rarely on fully exposed north facing xeric slopes. Habitat Associations: River shores and bars, riverside prairies, prairies in powerline right-of-ways, dry woodlands and barrens, clearings, fields, roadsides, hot and dry landscape restorations in urban spaces and natural area preserves, and other open, disturbed habitats. Common in the Piedmont. ¤ 6 or more florets per spikelet (best observed with hand lens) Flora Associations: This tough little bunch-grass grows in the harshest of roadside conditions, even where winter road salt is applied. It can also thrive alongside black walnut trees where many plants cannot. It is joined in these rough environs by its fellow stalwarts; little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), Virginia wild strawberry (Fragaria virginiana), St. John’s-wort (Hypericum spp.), winged sumac (Rhus copallinum) and common yarrow (Achillea borealis). In less toxic spaces, such as powerline right-of -ways, purple lovegrass associates closely with many more species, including butterfly-weed (Asclepias tuberosa), and pasture thistle (Cirsium pumilum). Purple lovegrass is dependent on the nutrient-poor, dry conditions it favors. On moist fertile ground taller species would soon shade it out.

  • Ornamental Cabbage and Kale, Brassica Oleracea in the Fall, Chyrsanthemums and Pansies Are the Predominant Plants Offered for Seasonal Color
    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 3 Sept 2007 Ornamental Cabbage and Kale, Brassica oleracea In the fall, chyrsanthemums and pansies are the predominant plants offered for seasonal color. But another group of cold-tolerant plants without fl owers can help brighten the fall garden when almost ev- erything else is looking tired and ready for winter. Ornamental cabbage and kale are the same species as edible cabbages, broccoli, and caulifl ower (Bras- sica oleracea) but have much fancier and more col- orful foliage than their cousins from the vegetable garden. While these plants are sometimes offered as “fl owering” cabbage and kale, they are grown for their large rosettes of colorful leaves, not the fl owers. These plants are very showy and come in a variety of colors, ranging from white to pinks, purples or reds. Even though they are technically all kales (kale does not produce a head; instead, it produces leaves in a tight rosette), by convention those types with deeply- cut, curly, frilly or ruffl ed leaves are called ornamen- Ornamental kale makes a dramatic massed planting. tal kale, while the ones with broad, fl at leaves often edged in a contrasting color are called ornamental cabbage. The plants grow about a foot wide and 15” tall. Ornamental cabbages and kales do not tolerate summer heat, and plants set out in spring will likely have bolted or declined in appearance, so it is necessary to either start from seed in mid-summer or purchase trans- plants for a good fall show.
