Arkansas Endemic Flora And Fauna An Update With 13 Additional Species, H. W. Robison, C. T. Mcallister Jan 2015

Arkansas Endemic Flora And Fauna An Update With 13 Additional Species, H. W. Robison, C. T. Mcallister

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Arkansas supports a diverse variety of endemic biota with most found in the Interior Highlands (Ozarks and Ouachitas) of the state. Since 1988, several compilations have updated the number of endemics known while some former endemic species have been found in other states and subsequently removed from the state list. Here, update to the list by adding 13 taxa, several of which are fish parasites, making a grand total of 139 current endemic species in Arkansas.


Investigating The Effect Of Stratospheric Radiation On Seed Germination And Growth, B. N. Fong, K. V. Newhouse, M. J. Huss, E. Roberts, J. T. Kennon, H. Ali Jan 2015

Investigating The Effect Of Stratospheric Radiation On Seed Germination And Growth, B. N. Fong, K. V. Newhouse, M. J. Huss, E. Roberts, J. T. Kennon, H. Ali

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Three seed types: bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), corn (Zea mays) and radish (Raphanus sativus) were flown in a high altitude weather balloon into the mid-stratosphere to investigate the effects of high altitude radiation on germination success and seedling growth. After recovering and planting the seeds, the bean seeds showed lower germination success with exposure to high altitude radiation, and consequently stunted seedling growth. Cord and radish seeds experienced a statistically significant positive effect on germination success form radiation exposure compared to control seeds, but negative effect on seedling growth. Overall, the field experiments presented here support laboratory studies that show radiation …
