  • Wild Ones Woodland Plant Sale
    Native Woodland Plant Sale – 2014 Plant List and Order Form Important Dates Why Natives? Orders due For starters, native woodland plants are charming and beautiful plants with delicate Monday, April 21 and interesting foliage, exotic flower forms and interesting growth habits. Some Pickup bloom in earliest spring while others finish the season with a show of color. More Friday, April 25, 3:00 PM - 7:30 PM importantly though, the species offered by Wild Ones are native to Winnebago and Saturday, April 26, 9:00 AM - Noon surrounding counties. They were here before the Europeans arrived and they thrived in the environment in which they had evolved. Fauna, a term which includes insects, Pickup Location birds and mammals, evolved in association with native plants. The plants provided 15813 Anderson Rd. the fauna with nectar, pollen, seeds and vegetation as well as shelter and a source of Durand, IL 61024 nesting material and the insects and others helped the plants with pollination. Arrangements can be made for other pickup locations and dates. But do we want insects in our yard, living on our plants? Yes, we do. If we love the amazing hummingbird and other birds and enjoy butterflies we must provide food Woodland Plant Sale Coordinator for them. During the caterpillar, or larval stage, butterflies eat plant leaves. In turn, Barbara Flores - 815-289-8602 caterpillars become the protein rich food birds need. The many other small insects [email protected] which feed on native plants also take their place in the food web. Even though hummingbirds eat at feeders, nevertheless the adults require insects in order to have Woodland Plant Resources a complete and healthful diet.

  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page.

  • LOCALIZED INTERSPECIFIC HYBRIDIZATION BETWEEN MIMETIC LIMENITIS BUTTERFLIES (NYMPHALIDAE) in FLORIDA Interspecific Hybrids Are O
    Journal of the Lepidopterists' Soctety 44(3), 1990, 163-173 LOCALIZED INTERSPECIFIC HYBRIDIZATION BETWEEN MIMETIC LIMENITIS BUTTERFLIES (NYMPHALIDAE) IN FLORIDA DAVID B. RITLAND Department of Zoology, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611 ABSTRACT. Viceroy and red-spotted purple butterflies (Umenitis archippus and Limenitis arthemis ustyanax) are broadly sympatric in the eastern United States, but very rarely interbreed in most areas. However, the butterflies hybridize relatively fre­ quently in northern Florida and southern Georgia; I recorded seven hybrid individuals in a 13-month period in 1986-87, as well as two mating pairs of viceroy and red-spotted purple. I propose that this elevated hybridization is due to a unique combination of ecological and biogeographic (genetic) factors, which interact to locally weaken the premating reproductive barrier between viceroys and red-spotted purples. First, habitat overlap (and therefore encounter rate) between the two species of butterflies is unusually high because they share a larval foodplant. Second, red-spotted purples may be less discriminating in mate choice because of their comparative rarity (viceroy: red-spotted purple ratio is 9:1), which must affect the economics of mate choice. Finally, viceroys in northern Florida also may be prone to mismating because they represent intraspecific hybrids between two geographic races (L. a. archippus and L. a. floridensis), the latter of which is largely allopatric from red-spotted purples and may not have evolved effective pre-mating isolating mechanisms. This combination of ecological and genetic factors apparently creates a unique conduit of gene flow (introgression) between red-spotted purples and viceroys. Additional key words: Limenitis archippus, Limenitis arthemis astyanax, Salix car­ oliniana, introgression, mate choice.

  • 4.4 Biological Resources
    4.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES INTRODUCTION This section describes the existing biological resources that occur or have the potential to occur within the Project Area and vicinity. In addition, a description of applicable regulations is provided. The analysis evaluates the potential impacts to biological resources that could occur in association with the development of property in the commercial districts and the implementation of the Mobility Element. The Land Use Element/Zoning Code Amendments would modify the development regulations and no specific projects are proposed at this time. Likewise, the roadway and trail alignments are conceptual in nature. Therefore, the analysis is evaluated at a program‐level. With a programmatic study, such as this EIR, subsequent projects carried out under the proposed Land Use Element/ Zoning Code Amendments and Mobility Element Update may warrant site specific biological assessments and surveys once plans have been prepared. 1. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING a. Regulatory Framework As part of the proposed Project’s review and approval there are a number of performance criteria and standard conditions that must be met. These include compliance with all of the terms, provisions, and requirements of applicable laws that relate to Federal, State, and local regulating agencies for impacts to biological resources. The following provides an overview of the applicable regulations with regard to the biological resources that may be present within the Project Area. (1) Federal (a) Migratory Bird Treaty Act The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) protects individuals as well as any part, nest, or eggs of any bird listed as migratory. In practice, Federal permits issued for activities that potentially impact migratory birds typically have conditions that require pre‐disturbance surveys for nesting birds.

  • Classification of the Vegetation Alliances and Associations of Sonoma County, California
    Classification of the Vegetation Alliances and Associations of Sonoma County, California Volume 1 of 2 – Introduction, Methods, and Results Prepared by: California Department of Fish and Wildlife Vegetation Classification and Mapping Program California Native Plant Society Vegetation Program For: The Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District The Sonoma County Water Agency Authors: Anne Klein, Todd Keeler-Wolf, and Julie Evens December 2015 ABSTRACT This report describes 118 alliances and 212 associations that are found in Sonoma County, California, comprising the most comprehensive local vegetation classification to date. The vegetation types were defined using a standardized classification approach consistent with the Survey of California Vegetation (SCV) and the United States National Vegetation Classification (USNVC) system. This floristic classification is the basis for an integrated, countywide vegetation map that the Sonoma County Vegetation Mapping and Lidar Program expects to complete in 2017. Ecologists with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the California Native Plant Society analyzed species data from 1149 field surveys collected in Sonoma County between 2001 and 2014. The data include 851 surveys collected in 2013 and 2014 through funding provided specifically for this classification effort. An additional 283 surveys that were conducted in adjacent counties are included in the analysis to provide a broader, regional understanding. A total of 34 tree-overstory, 28 shrubland, and 56 herbaceous alliances are described, with 69 tree-overstory, 51 shrubland, and 92 herbaceous associations. This report is divided into two volumes. Volume 1 (this volume) is composed of the project introduction, methods, and results. It includes a floristic key to all vegetation types, a table showing the full local classification nested within the USNVC hierarchy, and a crosswalk showing the relationship between this and other classification systems.
