A fistful of Astragalus : phenotypic and genotypic basis of the most taxon rich species in the North American flora

Creator:: Knaus, Brian J.
Abstract:: The study of the infra-specific ranks (i.e., subspecies and variety) can be considered the study of the process of speciation. Astragalus lentiginosus Douglas ex Hooker (Fabaceae) is the most taxon rich species in the U.S. flora currently including 40 taxonomic varieties. These varieties were described using traditional taxonomic methods primarily...

Genomic Resources for Phylogenetics, Species Delimitation, and Geographic Localization of Neotropical Tree Species Cedrela odorata L. (Meliaceae)

Creator:: Finch, Kristen N.
Abstract:: Biodiversity loss is of global concern, and is due in part to deforestation and high consumer demand for wood and wood products. The neotropical tree species Cedrela odorata (“Spanish cedar” or “cedro”) is economically valuable for its wood and faces threats of overexploitation. Due to strong similarities in wood features...

Plastome phylogenomics in the genus Pinus using massively parallel sequencing technology

Creator:: Parks, Matthew Benjamin
Abstract:: This thesis summarizes work completed over the previous four years primarily focusing on chloroplast phylogenomic inquiry into the genus Pinus and related Pinaceae outgroups using next-generation sequencing on Illumina platforms. During the time of our work, Illumina sequence read lengths have essentially been limited to 25 to 100 base pairs,...

Phylogenetics and genomic patterns of speciation in Pinus with an empahsis on subgenus Strobus

Creator:: Syring, John V.
Abstract:: Data from nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer regions (nrITS) and chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) have failed to resolve phylogenetic relationships in Pinus. To provide greater interspecific resolution, five low-copy nuclear genes were developed from mapped conifer anchor loci. Four genes were sequenced from species representing all Pinus subsections. Individual loci do...

New perspectives on evolutionary relationships within Pinus (Pinaceae) and within subsection Ponderosae (subgenus Pinus)

Creator:: Willyard, Ann Nachreiner
Abstract:: A fossil-calibrated phylogenetic framework based on exemplars from each of the four taxonomic sections within Pinus was created using multiple nuclear and chloroplast loci. Calibration at the well-defined subgeneric split within Pinus with either fossil leaves and cones (ca. 45 million years ago) or fossil wood (ca. 85 million years...

Drivers of Soil Fungal Communities Across Three Tropical Rainforests in Panama

Creator:: Schappe, Tyler
Abstract:: Fungi play critical roles in ecosystem processes and interact with plant communities in mutualistic, pathogenic, and commensal ways. Fungal communities are thought to be influenced by both associated tree communities and soil properties. However, the relative importance of the biotic and abiotic drivers of soil fungal community structure and diversity...

Symbiosis in the Pacific Ring of Fire : evolutionary-biology of Rhizopogon subgenus Villosuli as mutualists of Pseudotsuga

Creator:: Mujic, Alija Bajro
Abstract:: Rhizopogon is a large genus of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi that grows in association with host trees of the family Pinaceae. We have conducted a series of studies investigating the ecology and evolutionary biology of the EM symbiosis shared between R. subgenus Villosuli and trees of the genus Pseudotsuga. Two members...

A taxonomic revision of Astragalus mokiacensis and allied taxa within the Astragalus lentiginosus complex of Section Diphysi

Creator:: Alexander, J. Andrew
Abstract:: North America, with over 400 species of Astragalus (Fabaceae), is one of three major centers of diversity, all of which comprise the majority of the nearly 1750 species of Astragalus worldwide. One of the most diverse species, Astragalus lentiginosus of Section Diphysi, is a polymorphic complex of over 40 varieties,...

Landscape Genomics and Climatic Responses of Willamette Valley Alders

Creator:: Kral, George L.
Abstract:: The climate of the Pacific Northwest is in flux, and existing forest ecosystems are stressed and poised to shift in fundamental ways, with or without human intervention. This dissertation probes the nature of forest responses to environmental change through investigations of morphology and genetics of three species of alder co-occurring...

Genomic Investigations of Diversity within the Milkweed Genus Asclepias, at Multiple Scales

Creator:: Weitemier, Kevin A.
Abstract:: At a time when the biodiversity on Earth is being rapidly lost, new technologies and methods in genomic analysis are fortunately allowing scientists to catalog and explore the diversity that remains more efficiently and precisely. The studies in this dissertation investigate genomic diversity within the milkweed genus, Asclepias, at multiple...
