The First Generation And Annual Cytogenetic Diversity Of The Simulium Arcticum Malloch Complex (Diptera: Simuliidae) At The Little Blackfoot River, Montana, Gerald F. Shields

Western North American Naturalist

I made six extensive collections of black fly larvae at the Little Blackfoot River (LBFR) in western Montana at roughly 2-week intervals from 25 March to 2 June 2019 to describe larval size-class frequencies and cytogenetic diversity of the first spring generation. Frequencies of seven size classes, pupae, and pupal exuviae are given, though no larvae with egg bursters (first-instar larvae) were observed. Therefore, the earliest instars were missed. Sex chromosomes of 562 larvae of this first generation were compared to those of 1260 other larvae previously analyzed from 10 dates (2003 to 2012) to determine whether sex chromosome frequencies …

Breeding System And Pollination Of Thermopsis Divaricarpa (Fabaceae: Papilionoideae) In The Southern Rocky Mountains, Roxaneh S. Khorsand, Olufisayo Awolaja

Western North American Naturalist

Thermopsis divaricarpa (Fabaceae) is a common wildflower in the montane zone of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, but its reproductive ecology is still largely unknown. Montane meadows are recognized for their relatively high species richness and important ecosystem services. Thus, knowledge of the reproductive ecology of T. divaricarpa is useful when assessing community-level responses to climate change in the montane zone of the Rockies. We investigated the phenology, breeding system, and pollination of this species in the southern Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Our results suggest that T. divaricarpa flowers from early June to mid-July, exhibits a facultative xenogamous breeding system, and …
