Pleistocene Infraspecific Evolution in Juniperus Ashei Buch
The Pleistocene and recent distributions of the taxa are discussed. A new variety of Juniperus ashei, J. ashei Buch. var. ovata R. P. Adams is recognized from west Texas and northern Mexico. It differs from typical J. ashei in having whip leaf glands that are oval to elongate rather than hemispherical, smaller female cones, smaller seeds and more seeds per cone. In addition, the leaf oil of var...
متن کاملMolecular analysis confirms the long-distance transport of Juniperus ashei pollen
Although considered rare, airborne pollen can be deposited far from its place of origin under a confluence of favorable conditions. Temporally anomalous records of Cupressacean pollen collected from January air samples in London, Ontario, Canada have been cited as a new case of long-distance transport. Data on pollination season implicated Juniperus ashei (mountain cedar), with populations in c...

Juniperus ashei pollen has been reported as a major airborne allergen in regions of Texas and Oklahoma. Pollen production across these populations was examined in order to support a pollen forecast system. Four locations in Texas and 2 locations in Oklahoma were chosen as study sites. Trees in each location were measured, cone production was evaluated based on a rating system, and percent tree ...
متن کاملContribution of upwind pollen sources to the characterization of Juniperus ashei phenology
Local and long-range components of Juniperus ashei pollen deposition were isolated to provide a more accurate record of local pollination activity in the Arbuckle Mountains of south central Oklahoma. An aerobiological sampler recorded airborne pollen concentrations and deposition at the sample site from mid-December 1998 to the end of January 1999. Grid-based weather data was used to model the ...
