Jaume 8, casa 1, 08184 Palau Solità i Plegamans (Barcelona) ESPAÑA Resumen: Han transcurrido 100 años desde la publicación del último catálogo de ortópteros de Cataluña (Navàs, 1901). En este tiempo, muchas han sido las aportaciones efectuadas por numerosos especialistas, que de forma dispersa han contribuido a incrementar el conocimiento de esta fauna. Con este trabajo se recopila y actualiza toda esta información, enriqueciéndola con la aportación de más de 2.600 citas inéditas que, en su mayor parte, provienen del estudio de las colecciones del Museo de Zoología de Barcelona y de la del propio autor. Esta puesta al día ha dado como primer resultado una lista de 175 especies y subespecies y 27 subfamilias, cifras que si bien se acercan más a la realidad de lo que debe ser la ortopterofauna catalana, no deben en ningún caso considerarse definitivas. Además se cree probable o muy probable la presencia de otras 25 especies (Anexo I), que habitan en áreas proximas o adyacentes a la región y que en un futuro pueden ser localizadas en su territorio. Para la correcta separación taxonómica de todas estas especies y otras que también son citadas en este estudio (más de 200 en total), se incluyen unas claves dicotómicas ilustradas con 428 figuras que deben facilitar su identificación a cualquier interesado en el grupo. Como novedades más relevantes, se citan por vez primera para la fauna española o ibérica a Antaxius chopardi Morales, 1936, Gomphocerippus rufus Roberts, 1941, y Omocestus petraeus (Brisout, 1855), al tiempo que se amplía a la mitad septentrional de la Península el área de distribución de Chorthippus reissingeri Harz, 1973, stat. n. (se aportan pruebas sobre la nueva identidad taxonómica de esta última especie, realizándose un estudio morfológico que la separa de las especies más próximas del género). Asimismo, se confirma de este mismo ámbito la presencia de Tropidopola cylindrica cylindrica (Marschall, 1836), que se indica de unas pocas localidades de las provincias de Lleida y Huesca (primeras citas paras las regiones de Cataluña y Aragón). Respecto a obras precedentes (Navàs, 1901; Herrera, 1982) el conocimiento faunístico del orden en la región se ve incrementado en un 55 %, incluyéndose un total de 26 especies y tres subfamilias (Myrmecophilinae, Akicerinae y Tropidopolinae) que no habían sido señaladas de su territorio o cuya presencia era muy dudosa y requería confirmación. Por contra, se invalidan las citas pertenecientes a otras 10 especies (Anexo II) por considerarse erróneas, excluyéndose de la ortopterofauna catalana además de estas especies, a Schistocerca gregaria (Forskal, 1775) por no reproducirse y encontrarse únicamente de forma accidental en su territorio. Finalmente, se discute la validez de Antaxius capellei Cazurro, 1888, estableciéndose su sinonimia con Antaxius hispanicus Bolívar, 1877 (=Antaxius capellei Cazurro, 1888, syn. n.) Para la mayor parte de las especies aceptadas como pertenecientes a la ortopterofauna de la región y en forma de comentarios, se incluye información sobre distintos aspectos de su biología (hábitos ecológicos, presencia en altitud, manifestaciones acústicas, ciclo fenológico, etc.), que en muchos casos es novedosa. Asimismo se detallan sus respectivas distribuciones generales, ibéricas y catalanas, quedando estas últimas reflejadas en los correspondientes mapas de distribución con la división comarcal. De la observación de las áreas de ocupación de las distintas especies y de la mayor o menor concentración de referencias en las diferentes zonas de la región se han obtenido, entre otras, las siguientes conclusiones: las especies más extendidas en Cataluña son Calliptamus barbarus barbarus (Costa, 1836), Oedipoda caerulescens caerulescens (Linneo, 1758) y Omocestus rufipes (Zetterstedt, 1821) entre los Caelifera; y Ruspolia nitidula nitidula (Scopoli, 1786), Gryllus campestris Linneo, 1758, y Phaneroptera nana nana Fieber, 1853 entre los Ensifera. Las provincias con mayor diversidad y que, a la vez, el conocimiento que se tiene de su ortopterofauna es más elevado, son Lleida (133 especies) y Barcelona (123 especies); por contra, las zonas en las que sería necesario incrementar los muestreos por estar poco estudiadas, son las del extremo meridional de la región (provincia de Tarragona) y área de la Depresión Central. El interés del conjunto de estos 175 taxones comentados no sólo radica en su alto número, que sitúan a la fauna de ortópteros de Cataluña como la más diversificada de la Península Ibérica (en términos relativos cuanto menos si se observa su extensión) y una de las más ricas del continente europeo, sino y muy especialmente en sus aspectos cualitativos. Así, entre sus representantes se contabilizan 37 endemismos (10 de ellos exclusivos de la

Thus, both in terms of quantities produced and the value of its products, the vine constitutes a particularly important cultivation. THE HOST PLANT AND ITS CULTIVATION The original area of distribution of the genus Vitis was broken up by the separation of the continents; although numerous species developed, Vitis vinifera has been cultivated from the beginning for its fruit and wine producing qualities (43, 75, 184). This cultivation commenced in Transcaucasia about 6000 B.C. Subsequent human migration spread its cultivation, at firstaround the Mediterranean coast; the Roman conquest led to the plant's progressive establishment in Europe, almost to its present extent. Much later, the WesternEuropeans planted the grape vine wherever cultiva­ tion was possible, i.e. throughout the temperate and warm temperate regions of the by NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY on 02/01/10.

The evaluation of genetic relationships within Acridid grasshoppers (Orthoptera, Caelifera, Acrididae) on the subfamily level using molecular markers. Folia Biologica (Kraków) 67: 119-126. Over the last few decades, molecular markers have been extensively used to study phylogeny, population dynamics, and genome mapping in insects and other taxa. Phylogenetic methods using DNA markers are inexpensive, fast and simple to use, and may help greatly to resolve phylogenetic relationships in groups with problematic taxonomy. However, different markers have various levels of phylogenetic resolution, and it’s important to choose the right set of molecular markers for a studied taxonomy level. Acrididae is the most diverse family of grasshoppers. Many attempts to resolve the phylogenetic relationships within it did not result in a clear picture, partially because of the limited number of molecular markers used. We have tested a phylogenetic resolution of three sets of the most commonly utilized mitochondrial molecular markers available for Acrididae sequences in the database: (i) complete protein-coding mitochondrial sequences, (ii) concatenated mitochondrial genes COI, COII, and Cytb, and (iii) concatenated mitochondrial genes COI and COII.

  • Response of Orthoptera Assemblages to Management of Montane Grasslands in the Western Carpathians
    Biologia 66/6: 1127—1133, 2011 Section Zoology DOI: 10.2478/s11756-011-0115-1 Response of Orthoptera assemblages to management of montane grasslands in the Western Carpathians Vladimíra Fabriciusová, Peter Kaňuch &AntonKrištín* Institute of Forest Ecology, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Ľ. Štúra 2,SK-96053 Zvolen, Slovakia; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Montane grassy habitats in the Western Carpathians are relatively well preserved, maintain high species richness and are often important in accordance to the nature conservation policy in Europe. However, knowledge about the impact of farming on the habitat quality there is rather poor. The influence of various management types (permanent sheep pen, irregular grazing, mowing) on Orthoptera diversity and species determining assemblages of these habitats were analysed on 72 plots in Poľana Mts Biosphere Reserve. Altogether, 36 Orthoptera species (15 Ensifera, 21 Caelifera) were found, whereas the highest number of species was found on plots with irregular grazing (28 species), followed by plots with mown grass (17) and permanent sheep pens (14). All four measures of the assemblages’ diversity confirmed significant differences. Using Discriminant Function Analysis, correct classification rate of Orthoptera assemblages was unambiguous according to the type of management. Each form of the management harboured several characteristic species. Thus implications regarding the biodiversity conservation and grassland management were given. Key words: bush-crickets; grasshoppers; pasture; ecology; nature conservation Introduction or the influence of plant succession in meadows without any management (Marini et al. 2009).

  • Orthoptera Recording Scheme for Britain and Ireland
    ORTHOPTERA RECORDING SCHEME FOR BRITAIN AND IRELAND Newsletter 25 - February 1999 Editor: John Widgery 2I FieldYiew Road Potters Bar Herts EN6 2NA Tel: 01707 642708 INTRODUCTION It seems incredible that another year has passed since the last newsletter (NL24). This current newsletter is inænded to update all readers of the most significant developments since then. Of course, those of you who take British Wildlife magazine may already be awarg tlrough my 'rWildlife Notes', of some of the information contained herein. The success ofthe scheme relies upon your endeavours and, once again, I am indebted to the many of you who have submitted records and also to Paul Pearce-Kelly, Rachel Jones and Bryan Pinchen for their contributions on rare species. SUMMARY OF HIGHLIGHTS In comparison with recent years, the summer of 1998 was disappointing, although parts of southern England did have some reÍlsonably warm and dry weather during August and early September which is probably the most important period for the breeding success of many species. It was, perhaps, not surprising that there were fewer records submitted during 1998 as compared with the previous yàr but, even so, there were still several thousand which involved a total of 349 new l0hn squares (including 68 post-1970 refinds). Of these, 195 (including 23 post-1970s) were for 1998, including first ever records for Roesel's Bush Cricket, Metrioptera roeselii, in the Channel Islands, Long-winged Conehead, Conocephalus discolor, in Cambridgeshire and Lesnets Earwig, Forfcula lesnei,in Worcestershire and also a national first for this latter species in lreland. Additionally, we had the most northerly yet records for Lesser Marsh Grasshopper, Chorthippus albomarginqtus.

ZooKeys 665: 85–92. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.665.12339 Abstract Phylogenetic analysis and assessment of the species status of mostly isolated populations of Pholidoptera frivaldszkyi in south-western Russia occurring far beyond the accepted area of the species distribution in the Carpathian-Balkan region were performed. Using the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene fragment, we found a very low level of genetic diversity in these populations. Phylogeo- graphic reconstruction did not support recent introduction events but rather historical range fragmenta- tion.

  • IX. Effets Prévisibles Du Projet
    Agence PACA IX. Effets prévisibles du projet Afin de bien évaluer les effets du projet, il est indispensable d’analyser un panel de critères préalablement définis : la nature de l’effet, le type d’impacts : direct ou indirect. Les impacts directs expriment une relation de cause à effet entre une composante du projet (de l’implantation, la mise en marche, le fonctionnement jusqu’à l’arrêt de l’exploitation) et un élément de l’environnement (habitats, populations, espèces…). Les impacts indirects sont plus difficilement qualifiables et quantifiables puisqu’ entre l’action et sa conséquence subsiste une distance temporelle et/ou spatiale. Ces impacts peuvent également être un prolongement des impacts directs. la durée d’impacts : permanente ou temporaire. Les impacts permanents sont également évalués en considérant toute la durée du projet. Ces impacts se caractérisent par leur persistance durant les phases de l’exploitation et après la cessation des activités d’extraction. Les impacts temporaires sont souvent liés à des phases de travaux limités dans le temps, ils sont donc circonscrits temporellement jusqu’à l’interruption de la source de perturbation. la portée d’impacts : L’analyse de la répartition des espèces et habitats concernés par le projet permet d’évaluer la portée des impacts à différentes échelles. L’impact est d’autant plus fort que la répartition de l’espèce à une échelle donnée est réduite. IX.1 Synthèse des effets prévisibles du projet sur les milieux naturels Le tableau suivant liste les effets prévisibles du projet sur les habitats naturels, la flore et la faune. Les impacts seront détaillés dans les paragraphes suivants.
