Delineating a species’ distribution requires taxonomic knowledge and adequate occurrence data. For plants and fungi, herbaria represent a valuable source of large-scale occurrence data. Advances in digital technology mean that data from many herbarium collections worldwide are now easily accessible. However, species concepts can change over time requiring herbarium records to be re-examined and databases updated, which does not always occur synchronously across all collections. Therefore, non-critical use of these data can promote inaccuracies in understanding species distributions. Taxonomic revisions are common in understudied organisms, such as lichens. Here, we illustrate how changing taxonomy and non-critical acceptance of online data affects our understanding of disjunct distributions, using the lichen <i>Brodoa oroarctica</i> (Krog) Goward as an example. Defining the distribution of the arctic lichen <i>B. oroarctica</i> is confounded by changing taxonomy and uncertainty of herbarium records that pre-date taxonomic revisions. We review the distribution of this species in the literature and in aggregate occurrence databases, and verify herbarium specimens that represent disjunct occurrences in eastern North America to present an updated account of its distribution and frequency in eastern North America. We show that knowledge of changing species taxonomy is essential to depicting accurate species distributions.","PeriodicalId":9092,"journal":{"name":"Botany","volume":" 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135192193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many plant species in the genus Oenothera have a genetic system called permanent translocation heterozygosity (PTH), which renders plants functionally asexual when they self-fertilize. PTH results from reciprocal translocations of chromosomes that suppresses recombination, and a balanced lethal mortality of homozygous gametes that prevents independent assortment of alleles. When PTH plants self-fertilize, the offspring are genetically identical to the parents, but when they outcross they can create new genotypes. Here we sought to determine the rate of outcrossing of natural populations of PTH Oenothera biennis L (Onagraceae). We genotyped 46 parents from 14 populations in Tompkins County, NY, USA, and 754 of their offspring at highly polymorphic microsatellite loci. 99.5% of offspring were genetically identical to their seed parents, whereas 4 offspring out of 754 exhibited allelic mismatches with their seed parent. The estimated outcrossing rate ranged from 0.1 to 0.4%. Our study design also permitted us to estimate mutation rate of microsatellite loci., which ranged from 1.33x10-3 to 3.98x10-3. These results show that O. biennis typically exhibits a functionally asexual genetic system, but rare outcrossing events can generate novel genotypes that may have important evolutionary consequences.","PeriodicalId":9092,"journal":{"name":"Botany","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135968185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here I describe a rare case of autoparasitism in Epifagus virginiana (Orobanchaceae), a holo-parasitic plant normally found exclusively on the roots of Fagus grandifolia (Fagaceae). Confirmation of the autoparasitic relationship was obtained through micro-tomography and anatomical analyses. Results show the presence of vessel connections between the two E. virginiana plants and the unobstructed passage of solutes from one plant to another, thus suggesting the autoparasitic connection to be fully functional. While several segments of nearby host roots were entangled with the adventitious roots of the parasite, no parasite-host vascular connection was detected. Additionally, an analysis of digitized herbarium specimens showed that albeit rare, the observed autoparasitic relationship in E. virginiana is not a one-of case. A total of 3,097 digitized herbarium specimens were also analyzed, among which 1.69% were observed to potentially include an autoparasitic connection. Altogether, these results provide new clues for the investigation of host-specificity and haustorium development processes in parasitic flowering plants.","PeriodicalId":9092,"journal":{"name":"Botany","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136293511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Disturbances such as agriculture may impact populations of mycoheterotrophs, non-photosynthetic mycorrhizal plants that obtain carbon from fungal networks, by altering mycorrhizal communities or removing trees they derive carbon from. I tested the hypotheses that two mycoheterotrophic forest herbs increase in abundance during succession and become most common in older forests as plant communities reassemble through time.
 Distributions of Hypopitys monotropa and Monotropa uniflora, were sampled in Athens County, Ohio, USA. I surveyed populations in a 40-site post-agricultural forest chronosequence with five upland and five valley sites in each of four age classes: 40-60, 61-80, 81-100, and >130 years since canopy closure. Aspect and elevation were measured to assess environmental influence.
 Both H. monotropa and M. uniflora were most common in older stands with EM tree-rich canopy composition and West or South-facing aspects, indicating influence of historical, biotic, and edaphic factors. Hypopitys was exclusive to forests > 80 years old, while M. uniflora was present in younger stands. Abundance of both species was also significantly predicted by Fagaceae basal area. Because EM trees were also most abundant in South-and West-facing uplands, environmental influence appears to be mediated through canopy composition.

The thalli are bilaterally symmetrical, with two undissected wings that bear oppositely arranged dorsal lamellae. One specimen is dichotomously branched, and one bears clusters of antheridia along the midrib area of its dorsal surface. These characters are consistent with those of extant Petalophyllum Nees & Gottsche ex Lehm. (Fossombroniales: Petalophyllaceae), and the genus Petalophyllites gen. nov.

We monitored five common species at undisturbed forest sites spaced 300 km apart. At our Kluane site we monitored 710 fixed quadrats per year for 26 years (1997–2022), and at Mayo 500 quadrats per year for 18 years (2005–2022). The cover of four species, Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (bearberry), Arctostaphylos rubra (red bearberry), Empetrum nigrum (crowberry), and Geocaulon lividum (toadflax), declined annually by 0.2-0.8% at both sites. In contrast, Vaccinium vitis-idaea (lingonberry) increased annually by 0.5 and 0.8%. We tested if increases in summer temperature and rainfall were correlated with the observed changes but found no significant relationships. These boreal plants are changing in abundance, but we have limited data on the extent and speed of these changes.
