SUMMARY:Event: Sustainability Coalition Fair
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 12\, 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm\nEvent: Sustainability Coalition Fair\nLocation: CH2M Hill Building\, Oregon State University \nOur chapter will have a table with beautiful displays and maybe T-shirts for sale. We need a few volunteers to help set up the display\, talk to attendees at the table\, and take the display down. The fair is great promotion and visibility for the Native Plant Society because it had over 500 attendees last year who are interested in aspects of sustainability. Contact Esther to help at es*************@***il.com.

SUMMARY:Presentation: Cryptic Lineages and Morphological Stasis in a Rare Genus of Mycoheterotrophic Plants
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March 13\, 7:30 to 8:30 pm *Note date change to Friday rather than our usual Monday\nPresentation: Cryptic Lineages and Morphological Stasis in a Rare Genus of Mycoheterotrophic Plants\nPresenter: Ash Gill\, M.S.\nLocation: Cordley Hall Room 2602\, Oregon State University or by Zoom (registration link below) \nJoin us for a presentation on an investigation of hidden genetic diversity and fungal host affiliations in Pityopus californicus. \nUnderstanding the evolutionary processes leading to the formation of cryptic lineages is increasingly of interest as efforts continue to reconcile such lineages to established species concepts. Parasitic plants offer compelling case studies on this topic due to their severe morphological reductions and obligate reliance on other organisms for establishment and survival. \nIn our study\, we examined Pityopus\, a monotypic genus of mycoheterotrophic plants in Ericaceae that parasitize ectomycorrhizal fungi. Our goal was to investigate whether molecular divergence in this group is deserving of species-level recognition and whether lineage formation is related to the parasitic lifestyle. By integrating field samples with herbarium specimens\, we assembled a representative dataset from across the range of this rare taxon for genomic and morphological analysis. Our findings reveal four discrete lineages of Pityopus in morphological stasis with range overlap\, and a wider array of host affiliates than previously known. Due to the lack of clear diagnostic features\, we fail to delimit any new species in Pityopus but acknowledge the presence of cryptic lineages that should be conserved. We also demonstrate the efficacy of DNA barcoding for lineage identification. This study provides an example of morphologically similar yet reproductively isolated cryptic lineages that persist in sympatry. \nTo attend by Zoom\, register in advance for this meeting here:\nhttps://oregonstate.zoom.us/meeting/register/1ACjMfLRRIqZBBwb8OsoVw
