Spatial heterogeneity in plant communities promotes coexistence and diversity by providing a variety of niches for different species. In shrub-steppe communities, shrubs create distinct microsites under their canopies (canopy microsites) compared to ...

\u3ci\u3eSlaterobius Insignis\u3c/i\u3e (Heteroptera: Lygaeidae): Association With Granite Ledges and Outcrops in Minnesota [PDF]
Adults and late-instar nymphs of the wide-ranging myrmecomorphic lygaeid Slaterobius insignis were collected in northern Minnesota from cracks of granite outcrops and ledges, a habitat differing somewhat from that reported elsewhere.

Water conservation in Artemisia tridentata through redistribution of precipitation
Water conservation is important for plants that maintain physiologically active foliage during prolonged periods of drought. A variety of mechanisms for water conservation exist including stomatal regulation, foliage loss, above- and below-ground allocation patterns, size of xylem vessels and leaf pubescence. Using the results of a field and simulation

Aboveground Total and Green Biomass of Dryland Shrub Derived from Terrestrial Laser Scanning [PDF]
Sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata), a dominant shrub species in the sagebrush-steppe ecosystem of the western US, is declining from its historical distribution due to feedbacks between climate and land use change, fire, and invasive species.

Insights into transcriptomes of big and low sagebrush.
We report the sequencing and assembly of three transcriptomes from Big (Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis and A. tridentata ssp. tridentata) and Low (A. arbuscula ssp. arbuscula) sagebrush.

Montane Meadow Change during Drought Varies with Background Hydrologic Regime and Plant Functional Group [PDF]
Climate change models for many ecosystems predict more extreme climatic events in the future, including exacerbated drought conditions. Here we assess the effects of drought by quantifying temporal variation in community composition of a complex montane ...

Taxonomic and nomenclatural rearrangements in Artemisia subgen. Tridentatae, including a redefinition of Sphaeromeria (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) [PDF]
[EN]A recent molecular phylogenetic study of all members of Artemisia subgenus Tridentatae, as well as most of the other New World endemic Artemisia and the allied genera Sphaeromeria and Picrothamnus, raised the necessity of revising the taxonomic ...

Seed weight variation of wyoming sagebrush in Northern Nevada [PDF]
Seed size is a crucial plant trait that may potentially affect not only immediate seedling success but also the subsequent generation. We examined variation in seed weight of Wyoming sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis Beetle and Young), an
