9. Bogs Sphagnum Ericaceae Sarraceniaceae

10. Sphagnum Moss Note distinct “heads”. Sphagnum gains cations (nutrients) and acidifies the water through cation exchange.

11. Sphagnum moss The stalks with capsules are the sporophytes Note distinct “heads” at ends of stems. Capsules are audibly explosive-- developing pressures of up to 2 atm and dispersing spores as far as 15 cm!.

12. Contents of capsule shrink causing pressure build up, the spores are discharge all at once-- EXPLOSIVELY

13. Time lapse

15. Sphagnum at 1,000 fps >15cm heights

16. Sphagnum capsule at 10,000 fps

17. Sphagnum’s air gun is very effective: Velocity = 13 m/s = 29 mph!! Acceleration > 10 5 g Timescale < 1/30,000 s Pressure ~ 5 atm ?? Sphagnum capsule at 10,000 fps

20. Chamaedaphne calyculata - Leatherleaf -Ericaceae has Wintergreen Leaves http://68.61.32.46/Wild%20Flowers/

23. Vaccinium corymbosum, High Bush Blueberry, Ericaceae. Deciduous leaves, typical urn-shaped flowers, Ericoid mycorrhizae.

24. Vaccinium angustifolium - Common Low Bush Blueberry - Ericaceae

25. Vaccinium angustifolium, Low Bush Blueberry, Ericaceae Fruits are a true berry!

26. Kalmia polifolia Bog Laurel Ericaceae Pink bell-shaped flowers with “sprung” stamens in pockets of the corolla. Opposite, revolute leaves. In the phyllodocoid clade in the Ericaceae

27. Kalmia polifolia, Bog Laurel, Ericaceae. Note reflexed stamens in pockets (3 have been sprung)

28. Kalmia angustifolia Note flowers in the whorl just below the top. Leaves are broad and typically in whorls of 3.

29. Kalmia angustifolia - note stamens are under tension, bending back into the corolla pockets

30. Kalmia angustifolia

32. Andromeda glaucophylla - Bog Rosemary - Ericaceae Note alternate leaves.

33. Andromeda glaucophylla blossoms are white tinged with pink. Note: alternate, revolute leaves and bell shaped flowers with long white pedicel.

34. Andromeda glaucophylla, Bog Rosemary, Ericaceae http://68.61.32.46/Wild%20Flowers/

35. Andromeda glaucophylla Bog Rosemary Alternate leaves Ericacaceae

36. Ledum groenlandicum, Labrador Tea, Ericaceae http://www.ct-botanical-society.org/galleries/ledumgroe.html Dense Hairs on Undersides of Leaves

37. Gaultheria procumbens, Wintergreen, Ericaceae

38. Epigaea repens, Trailing Arbutus or Mayflower, Ericaceae, State Flower of Massachusetts, Protected. Note oval leaves and paired white flowers (which turn pink with age).

39. Vaccinium macrocarpon (closely related to V. oxycoccus, the small cranberry which we will see at the bog) Large Cranberry Ericaceae

40. Vaccinium macrocarpon, Large Cranberry, Ericaceae Fruit = Berry (In the bog we will see V. oxycoccus, the small cranberry)

41. Cranberry field at harvest time.

42. Harvesting Cranberries

43. Ericoid mycorrhizae in Gaultheria. The dark blobs are the fungus in the root. Ericoid mycorrhizae- cross section. Note few fungal hyphae on the root surface.

44. Ericoid mycorrhizae in Leucopogon juniperus (Epacridacaceae- a southern hemisphere heath family)

45. Ectomycorrhizae (fungus roots) on Pinus strobus. Fungal hyphae (Amanita muscaria) X-section showing thick mantle of fungus

46. Sarraceniaceae

47. Sarracenia leaves = pitchers

48. Sarracenia purpurea Pitcher Plant Sarraceniaceae Note downward pointing hairs and purple venation.

49. Sarracenia purpurea flower Note peltate style

50. Stephanomeria exigua Parent Species Stephanomeria malheurensis Selfing Species Asteraceae

51. Mimulus lewisii (low to mid-elevation) Bee pollinated Pink petals Landing Platform Small Amounts of nectar

52. Mimulus cardinalis (mid to high elevation) (Bird Pollinated) Reflexed petals, no landing platform Large amounts of nectar Red Petals

53. F 1 Hybrid Cross between Mimulus lewisii and M. cardinalis

54. F2 generation plants were placed in a grid in the field and scored for pollinators. Yellow pigment reduces visits by bees. High nectar volume increases visits by birds. How might shifts in pollinators affect speciation rates?

55. Two different pollinators acting on one species could result in reproductive isolation and speciation

56. ?? ? ? Back up systems in angiosperms may predispose a species for further speciation ??
