TAXONOMIC REVISION OF THE SOIL GENUS TRICHOCOLEUS (TRICHOCOLEUSACEAE, CYANOBACTERIA), INCLUDING FOUR NEW SPECIES FROM WHITE SANDS NATIONAL PARK, NEW MEXICO
Full text linkCyanobacteria have never received molecular characterization in the gypsum soils at White Sands National Park. These gypsiferous soils support distinctive plant communities and considerable microbial taxonomic diversity in their biological soil crusts. Employing a polyphasic approach characterizing both morphology and sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene and associated 16S-23S ITS region, six strains of Trichocoleus isolated from White Sands biocrusts were fully characterized. Phylogenetic analyses including other as-yet-unnamed Trichocoleus strain sequences and the three previously described species, T. desertorum, T. caatingensis, and T. badius, led to a revision of the genus and identification of 17 unnamed species-level groups within Trichocoleus. Upon publication of this work, Trichocoleus will be one of the most species-rich cyanobacterial desert soil genera. Trichocoleus is a widespread genus in arid and semi-arid lands around the world, containing multiple species in a number of different desert regions, and will undoubtedly be found in future studies of arid land biocrusts

Fugitive / Refugee
No full textIn Fugitive/Refuge, Philip Metres follows the journey of his refugee ancestors—from Lebanon to Mexico to the United States—in a vivid exploration of what it means to long for home. A book-length qasida, the collection draws on ancient poetic traditions and invents new forms—odes and arabics, sonnets and close-ups, prayers and documentary voicings, heroic couplets and homophonic translations—to confront the perils of our age: forced migration, climate change, and toxic nationalism
