Cette thèse fait partie du projet HHAE2 (Haies Herbacées Anti-Erosives 2) de l’AREAS, rendu possible par les subventions accordées par la Région Normandie et l’Agence de l’Eau Seine- Normandie. Ce projet fait suite à HHAE 1 qui avait permis de démontrer la faisabilité et l’intérêt des haies herbacées. HHAE2, en confrontant les résultats d’HHAE1, a pour but de définir (1) les modalités techniques d’implantation et de gestion ; (2) les conditions optimales d’utilisation par la modélisation ; (3) l’effet de la diversité fonctionnelle des haies herbacées ; (4) l’effet des haies herbacées sur les transferts de pesticides ; et (5) l’apport des haies herbacées à la biodiversité dans le paysage. Le manuscrit de thèse est rédigé en anglais, afin de le rendre plus accessible, et sous forme d’une thèse sur articles. Le premier chapitre a été publié dans un journal international, le deuxième est soumis dans un journal international et le dernier est en finalisation avant soumission. Une liste des publications est disponible à la fin du manuscrit, ainsi qu’un résumé étendu du manuscrit en français. 4 FOREWORD This PhD research started in January 2016 and is a CIFRE collaboration (Industrial research training agreements) – funded by the ANRT (National Association of Research and Technology) – between AREAS, located in St Valéry en Caux (France), and the research unit AGHYLE from UniLaSalle (attached to Université Picardie Jules Verne), located in Beauvais (France). This PhD is part of an AREAS’ project: HHAE2; funded by “Région Normandie” and “Agence de l’eau Seine-Normandie”. This project follows HHAE1, which demonstrated the feasibility and the interest of herbaceous hedges. HHAE2, notably by comparing the results obtained in HHAE1, aims to define (1) the technical methods of implementation and management; (2) the optimal conditions of use, using modelling; (3) the effect of the functional diversity of herbaceous hedges on runoff and soil erosion reduction; (4) the effects of herbaceous hedges on pesticide transfers; and (5) the contribution of herbaceous hedges to biodiversity enhancement in the landscape. The PhD thesis is written in English, to make it more accessible, and in the form of a PhD on articles. The first chapter has been published in an international journal, the second is submitted in an international journal and the last one is being finalised before submission. A list of the publications is provided at the end of the manuscript, as well as an extended summary of the thesis in French. 5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS During these three years, I kept saying that I was feeling lucky with this PhD project. From the friendly atmospheres in UniLaSalle and AREAS, to the smooth fieldworks (despite a clearing of some of my plots during the experiments) with a great weather during all my experiments (as, practically no rain over October and November in Normandy, is being really lucky!) and the great way my PhD was going, I cannot complain. Obviously, it's not only luck (even if having good abiotic conditions helped): this success is mostly connected to the people with whom I interacted during my PhD. I had the pleasure to meet people who helped, guided and supported me in this great adventure. Since the beginning of my PhD, I decided that I would finish writing my thesis with the acknowledgements part, since it is the part that should take the least time to write (although my dear PhD supervisors, colleagues and friends have repeated to me the opposite) as long as I systematically list the people to thank throughout the PhD (which I have not done, obviously, telling myself that I will not forget anyone). Here I am, almost three years after the beginning of this great adventure, with one of the hardest parts I had to write for my thesis (they were right) and no list made in advance (so I hope I will not forget anyone). Michel-Pierre Faucon et Romain Armand, mes chers directeurs de thèse, merci d’avoir pensé à moi, l’ancienne ASET avec un profil recherche qui aime bien les plantes, pour cette thèse. Je vous remercie de tout cœur pour votre confiance, votre soutien, votre encadrement, votre investissement et votre patience qui m’ont permis d’arriver où je me trouve maintenant. J’avoue ne pas savoir comment vous remercier de la façon qui reflète le mieux ma gratitude pour ces trois années passées avec vous. Revenue à Beauvais pour commencer ma thèse en janvier 2016, j’avais pas mal à apprendre sur l’érosion (dont je connaissais les bases de cette vidéo animée d’une goutte d’eau de 1948 visionnée en 4A) et l’écologie fonctionnelle ; et maintenant je peux parler du contrôle de l’érosion par l’augmentation de la rugosité hydraulique et de la rétention des sédiments, influencées par un effet non-additif de la diversité 6 fonctionnelle généré par la dominance des moyennes pondérées des traits à la communauté sans trop bafouiller Je garde en mémoire tous les moments de rires partagés et de convivialité passés ensembles, notamment sur le terrain pour la mise en place des essais et pendant les expérimentations, ainsi qu’autour de cafés/thés, verres et pique-niques. Merci de votre patience pour les innombrables questions posées un peu en embuscade dans les couloirs et/ou après analyse méticuleuse de vos emplois du temps. Michel-Pierre, merci pour ton entrain infatigable, qui déjà depuis la 4A m’avait motivée à me diriger vers la recherche et une thèse ; pour toutes nos discussions, pros et perso, autour de cafés et thés, de verres pendant des congrès, dans les couloirs ou ton bureau ; pour m’avoir challengée sur le plan scientifique, notamment pendant la rédaction des articles et pour ton soutien et ta patience dans les moments difficiles. Romain, merci pour ta patience et ta pédagogie pour toutes les questions liées à l’érosion, aux expérimentations ou même à l’administratif ; pour toutes les discussions pros et perso passées autour d’un café et thé ou pendant les trajets à St Valéry ; pour ton soutien dans les moments difficiles et ton calme infini qui m’a beaucoup aidé pour gérer mon stress. Je n’aurais pas pu avoir une meilleure expérience de thèse sans vous. Jean-François Ouvry, je te remercie de tout cœur pour ta confiance (donnée rapidement à une doctorante fraîchement débarquée d’Angleterre), ton soutien, ton écoute et ton encadrement professionnel qui m’ont beaucoup aidé lors de cette thèse. J’ai énormément apprécié travailler sur ce projet, je n’aurais pas pu demander mieux comme directeur. Aux membres de mon jury de thèse : Alexia Stokes, Charles Bielders, Olivier Chabrerie, Julien Tournebize et Grégory Mahy, je vous remercie d’avoir accepté de faire partie de la dernière étape de mon aventure de doctorante et d’avoir apporté votre expertise et avis critiques sur mon travail de thèse afin de finaliser mon apprentissage doctoral. Aux membres de mon comité de thèse : Yves Le Bissonnais et Freddy Rey ; je vous remercie de votre expertise, de vos avis critiques et de votre temps passé sur ma thèse, notamment pour la validation de mes protocoles expérimentaux ; mais aussi pour nos conversations enrichissantes. Mathieu Saunier : merci, merci, merci pour ton aide sur le terrain !!! Les expérimentations n’auraient jamais été aussi rapides et fluides sans ton aide. Merci aussi pour ta patience envers 7 mon stress (intense) du temps.

    CYPERACEAE etal Got Sedge? Part Two revised 24 May 2015. Draft from Designs On Nature; Up Your C 25 SEDGES, FOINS COUPANTS, LAÎCHES, ROUCHES, ROUCHETTES, & some mostly wet things in the sedge family. Because Bill Gates has been shown to eat footnotes (burp!, & enjoy it), footnotes are (italicized in the body of the text) for their protection. Someone who can spell caespitose only won way has know imagination. Much of the following is taken verbatim from other works, & often not credited. There is often not a way to paraphrase or rewrite habitat or descriptive information without changing the meaning. I am responsible for any mistakes in quoting or otherwise. This is a learning tool, & a continuation of an idea of my friend & former employer, Jock Ingels, LaFayette Home Nursery, who hoped to present more available information about a plant in one easily accessible place, instead of scattered though numerous sources. This is a work in perpetual progress, a personal learning tool, full uv misstakes, & written as a personal means instead of a public end. Redundant, repetitive, superfluous, & contradictory information is present. It is being consolidated. CYPERACEAE Sauergrasgewächse SEDGES, aka BIESIES, SEGGEN Formally described in 1789 by De Jussieu. The family name is derived from the genus name Cyperus, from the Greek kupeiros, meaning sedge. Many species are grass-like, being tufted, with long, thin, narrow leaves, jointed stems, & branched inflorescence of small flowers, & are horticulturally lumped with grasses as graminoids. Archer (2005) suggests the term graminoid be used for true grasses, & cyperoid be used for sedges. (If physical anthropologists have hominoids & hominids, why don’t we have graminoids & graminids?) There are approximately 104 genera, 4 subfamilies, 14 tribes, & about 5000 species worldwide, with 27 genera & 843 species in North America (Ball et al 2002).

Information about the scientific collections is made available more and more often. The digitisation of such resources allows us to verify their value and share these records with other scientists – and they are usually rich in taxa and unique in the world. Moreover, such information significantly enriches local and global knowledge about biodiversi- ty. The digitisation of the resources of the Zoology Research Group, University of Silesia in Katowice (Poland) allowed presenting a substantial collection of scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha). The collection counts 9369 slide-mounted specimens, about 200 alcohol-preserved samples, close to 2500 dry specimens stored in glass vials and 1319 amber inclu- sions representing 343 taxa (289 identified to species level), 158 genera and 36 families (29 extant and seven extinct).

Accepted 21 November, 2004 Numerous members of the Anthemideae are important cut-flower and ornamental crops, as well as medicinal and aromatic plants, many of which produce essential oils used in folk and modern medicine, the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. These oils and compounds contained within them are used in the pharmaceutical, flavour and fragrance industries. Moreover, as people search for alternative and herbal forms of medicine and relaxation (such as aromatherapy), and provided that there are no suitable synthetic substitutes for many of the compounds or difficulty in profiling and mimicking complex compound mixtures in the volatile oils, the original plant extracts will continue to be used long into the future.

  • Tarset and Greystead Biological Records
    Tarset and Greystead Biological Records published by the Tarset Archive Group 2015 Foreword Tarset Archive Group is delighted to be able to present this consolidation of biological records held, for easy reference by anyone interested in our part of Northumberland. It is a parallel publication to the Archaeological and Historical Sites Atlas we first published in 2006, and the more recent Gazeteer which both augments the Atlas and catalogues each site in greater detail. Both sets of data are also being mapped onto GIS. We would like to thank everyone who has helped with and supported this project - in particular Neville Geddes, Planning and Environment manager, North England Forestry Commission, for his invaluable advice and generous guidance with the GIS mapping, as well as for giving us information about the archaeological sites in the forested areas for our Atlas revisions; Northumberland National Park and Tarset 2050 CIC for their all-important funding support, and of course Bill Burlton, who after years of sharing his expertise on our wildflower and tree projects and validating our work, agreed to take this commission and pull everything together, obtaining the use of ERIC’s data from which to select the records relevant to Tarset and Greystead. Even as we write we are aware that new records are being collected and sites confirmed, and that it is in the nature of these publications that they are out of date by the time you read them. But there is also value in taking snapshots of what is known at a particular point in time, without which we have no way of measuring change or recognising the hugely rich biodiversity of where we are fortunate enough to live.

  • Tanacetum Cinerariifolium (Trevir.) Sch
    REVIEW ARTICLE 73 Morphological and Biochemical Diversity of Dalmatian Pyrethrum (Tanacetum cinerariifolium (Trevir.) Sch. Bip.) Martina GRDIŠA ( ) Klaudija CAROVIĆ-STANKO Ivan KOLAK Zlatko ŠATOVIĆ Summary Dalmatian pyrethrum (Tanacetum cinerariifolium /Trevir./ Sch. Bip.) is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Asteraceae family. It is endemic to the East coast of the Adriatic Sea and its natural habitat extends from Italy to northern Albania and up in the mountainous regions of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. Pyrethrum fl owers yield an important insecticide, the pyrethrin. Pyrethrin is mainly concentrated in oil glands on the surface of the seed inside the tightly packed fl ower head, but they can also be found in the other plant parts, however in much lower concentrations. Th e pyrethrin exist as a combination of six insecticide active ingredients: pyrethrin I, cinerin I, jasmolin I, pyrethrin II, cinerin II and jasmolin II, with pyrethrin I and pyrethrin II present in higher concentrations. Pyrethrin is non-toxic to mammals and other worm-blooded animals, it is unstable in light, oxygen, water and at elevated temperatures and therefore highly biodegradable. Due to the fact it is environmentally safe it is leading insecticide in organic farming systems. Th e most scientifi c work concerning Dalmatian pyrethrum was focused on its morphological and biochemical traits that are relevant in breeding. Breeding programmes are primarily focused on increasing the yield of pyrethrin per unit area. Relative to dry fl ower weight, fl ower heads contain the majority of the pyrethrin. Croatian wild populations contain approximately 0.60 to 0.79 %, while clones in breeding programmes of Australia and Kenya contain up to 3.0 % of pyrethrin.

The paper is concerned with the results of the ruderal flora investigation carried out in the vicinity of the town of Kosovska Mitrovica (Serbia) and its surroundings, in different urban and suburban habitats, and is based on the copious floristic researches conducted between 1995 and 1996 and repeated in 2016. The total number of 444 taxa was reported in the course of 2016. Not only was reported the presence of 386 taxa in the same areas between 1995 and 1996, but also 58 new taxa were recorded in recent field explorations. The ruderal flora composition in Kosovska Mitrovica area has changed by 13.06% in the past 20 years. Detailed taxonomic, ecological, and phyto-geographical analyses were provided for the discovered synanthropic flora. Special attention was paid to the appearance of new invasive species unregistered 20 years ago, but which, due to the more intensive anthropogenic influence, have become more diverse in number and frequency in the investigated areas.

The paper reports data on the species of Cassidinae preserved in the new Chrysomelidae Collection of “Grigore Antipa” National Museum of Natural History (Bucharest). A total of 852 specimens, representing four genera and 31 species are listed. Out of them, 11 species are recently entered in this collection. New distributional data for some rare species of Cassida in Romanian fauna are given. Key words: Chrysomelidae, Cassidinae, collections, “Grigore Antipa” National Museum of Natural History, Bucharest. INTRODUCTION The subfamily Cassidinae includes about 16% of leaf beetle species diversity and forms the second largest clade of Chrysomelidae family, after Galerucinae (Chabo, 2007). In old sense, Cassidinae (commonly named tortoise beetles) and Hispinae (leaf-mining beetles) were considered distinct subfamilies (Seeno & Wilcox, 1982). Cassidinae s.str. includes 2,906 species from 154 genera placed in 19 tribes (Seeno & Wilcox, 1982) or 12 tribes (Borowiec, 1999), and Hispinae s.str. comprises 2,980 species grouped in 170 genera and 24 tribes (Seeno & Wilcox, 1982; Staines, 2002; Chabo, 2007).
