Biosystematic Analysis of the Cystopteris tennesseensis (Dryopteridaceae) Complex
(Missouri Botanical Society, 1990-01-01)The allotetraploid Cystopteris tennesseensis and its putative diploid progenitors, C. bulbifera and C. protrusa, constitute the C. tennesseensis complex. Although previous studies provided evidence of morphological, ... -
Homospory 2002: An Odyssey of Progress in Pteridophyte Genetics and Evolutionary Biology
(American Institute of Biological Sciences, 2002-01-01)No abstract is available for this item. -
Phylogenetic Relationships of the Enigmatic Malesian Fern Thylacopteris (Polypodiaceae, Polypodiidae)
(University of Chicago Press, 2004-11-01)Thylacopteris is the sister to a diverse clade of polygrammoid ferns that occurs mainly in Southeast Asia and Malesia. The phylogenetic relationships are inferred from DNA sequences of three chloroplast genome regions ... -
Patterns of Genetic Variation in Southern Appalachian Populations of Athyrium filix‐femina var. asplenioides (Dryopteridaceae)
(University of Chicago Press, 2005-09-01)Allozyme variation (17 loci coding 11 enzymes) was investigated in 14 populations of the fern Athyrium filix‐femina var. asplenioides arrayed at differing elevations and latitudes in the southern Appalachians. Allozyme ... -
Amphibians and reptiles of the Dominican Republic: species of special concern
(Cambridge University Press, 2001-12-25)The Dominican Republic faces multiple threats to biodiversity. A list of native species of amphibians and reptiles (excluding sea turtles) is presented. Some may have become extinct recently, substantial populations of ... -
Phylogenetic analysis of the evolution of the niche and of species associations in lizards of the Anolis sagrei group
(Ecological Society of America, 2006-01-01)Recent advances in ecological niche modeling (ENM) algorithms, in conjunction with increasing availability of geographic information system (GIS) data, allow species' niches to be predicted over broad geographic areas using ... -
Adaptation, Speciation, and Convergence: A Hierarchical Analysis of Adaptive Radiation in Caribbean Anolis Lizards
(Missouri Botanical Society, 2006-05-01)Caribbean Anolis lizards are a classic case of adaptive radiation, repeated four times across islands of the Greater Antilles. On each island, very similar patterns of evolutionary divergence have occurred, resulting in ... -
Partitioning the effects of plant biomass and litter on Andropogon gerardi in old-field vegetation
(Ecological Society of America, 1997-10-01)We examined the effects of living plant neighbors and litter on the performance of a native C4 grass, Andropogon gerardi, at five old-field sites that differ in community biomass and soil fertility. We used plant removal ... -
Species richness in a successional grassland: effects of nitrogen enrichment and plant litter
(Ecological Society of America, 1998-12-01)We conducted a field experiment in a successional grassland to investigate the short-term effects of nitrogen enrichment and plant litter on plant species richness and on the establishment of a native grass (Andropogon ... -
Grassland diversity and productivity: the interplay of resource availability and propagule pools
(Ecological Society of America, 2004-06-01)Processes operating at multiple spatial scales govern the structure and functioning of ecological communities. We conducted a resource manipulation and propagule addition experiment in grassland to evaluate the interaction ... -
Secondary succession in an experimentally fragmented landscape: community patterns across space and time
(Ecological Society of America, 2005-05-01)Secondary succession reflects, at least in part, community assembly—the sequences of colonizations and extinctions. These processes in turn are expected to be sensitive to the size of the site undergoing assembly and its ... -
Shallow-Water Sea Anemones (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Actiniaria) and Tube Anemones (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Ceriantharia) of the Galápagos Islands
(University of Hawaii Press, 2007-10-01)We provide the first inventory of members of orders Actiniaria (sea anemones sensu stricto) and Ceriantharia (tube anemones) from the Galápagos Islands. Based on observations and collections at 48 localities throughout the ... -
Comparative depth distribution of corallimorpharians and scleractinians (Cnidaria: Anthozoa)
(Inter Research, 2009-11-17)We assessed whether CaCO3 concentration of seawater may be relevant to the occurrence of members of Corallimorpharia and Scleractinia, which are very similar except for the possession by scleractinians of a calcareous ... -
Population Structure in an Indian Cooperative Spider, Stegodyphus sarasinorum Karsch (Eresidae)
(American Arachnological Society, 1994-01-01)Twenty-nine colonies of a population of the cooperative spider Stegodyphus sarasinorum Karsch (Eresidae), from two sites in Bangalore, Karnataka State, India, were examined using protein allozyme electrophoresis . Thirty-five ... -
