    ARTÍCULO: THE SPIDERS OF PORTUGAL: SOME ADDITIONS TO THE CURRENT CHECKLIST (ARANEAE) Gillian Telfer, Robert Bosmans, Antonio Melic & Francisco Rego Abstract In the present paper 23 new additions to the current checklist for Portuguese spiders are listed, and localities given. Key words: Araneae, checklist, Portugal. Adiciones al catálogo de arañas de Portugal (Araneae) Resumen Se presentan 23 novedades para la Checklist de arañas de Portugal. ARTÍCULO: Palabras clave: Araneae, checklist, Portugal. The spiders of Portugal: some additions to the current checklist (Araneae) Introduction Gillian Telfer Centro de Ecologia Aplicada Since the works of Bacelar (e.g. 1927a, 1927b, 1928, 1933, 1935, 1936, 1940) and “Prof. Baeta Neves”, Instituto Machado (e.g. 1937, 1941, 1949) in the early 20th century, little attention has been Superior de Agronomia, Tapada paid to the arachnofauna of Portugal. Fortunately research in this Order has da Ajuda, Lisbon, Portugal, [email protected]; increased in the past decade or so, and at present the current number of species of spiders reported in Portugal stands at 660 (Alderweireldt & Bosmans, 2001; Robert Bosmans, Laboratorium voor Ecologie, Bosmans, 1993; Cardoso, unpublished; Ferrández, 1985, 1990). This number, Ledeganckstraat 35, however, is thought to be a severe underestimation of the true figure. It is hoped that 9000 Gent, Belgium the present increased collecting intensity will rectity this. Antonio Melic The spiders presented in this paper were obtained from collections made from Avenida Radio Juventud, 37, various shrubland and forest areas found within the Council of Mafra, in the 50012 Zaragoza, Spain. Estremadura province of north-western Portugal. The localities within the Council Francisco Rego boundaries are identified along with the date of capture and a brief description of Centro de Ecologia Aplicada the main vegetation type of the habitat.

  • What Are Komatiites?
    What are komatiites? John Stanley Komatiites are widespread rocks with a spinifex texture (spinifex is a grass, which the texture of komatiites resembles) that occur in ancient shields of 3.7 to 1.8 billion years (Ga) plus an example at Gorgona Island at 88Ma. The type locality is the Komati Formation in the Barberton greenstone belt of South Africa, ultrabasic intrusives and lava flows with up to 25-29% MgO and generally over 18% and an extrusion temperature of 1,600oC. Recent studies reinterpret Barberton komatiites as shallow intrusives derived from hydrous liquids (4-6% H2O), with lower liquidus temperatures (1370-1400°C). The main minerals are olivine (forsterite 90%+, fayalite 10%), pyroxene that is calcic and often chromic (augite), plagioclase feldspar (anorthite 85%, albite 15%), chromite and Fe/Cr mixed oxides. Minor minerals include pargasitic amphibole with >20% MgO, phlogopite mica, baddeleyite, ilmenite and pyrope garnet. First recognised in the 1960s, they compare with modern basalts, none of which have more than 9%MgO and none have a spinifex texture. They provide an insight into: The early volcanic history of the earth; The geochemical and thermal structure of the Archaean mantle; the formation of Fe, Ni and Cu sulphide ore deposits: and the source of diamonds. The nature of some extraterrestrial lava flows on the moon and Mars In the early Hadean, prior to ocean formation, at 4.56-3.80Ga, plate tectonics had not started as everything was molten and anything that solidified sank and converted to eclogite. Oceans formed by 4.40Ga. Evolution of the accreted proto-crust led to the formation of granite and by the late Archaean (about 2.5Ga) plate tectonics started.

  • Introduction
    PDF file from Evenhuis, N.L. & D.J. Greathead, 1999, World Catalog of Bee Flies (Diptera: Bombyliidae). Backhuys Publishers, Leiden. xlviii + ix 756 pp. INTRODUCTION Bombyliids, or bee flies as they are commonly called, comprise a diverse and speciose assemblage of brachycerous flies. With more than 4,500 species known worldwide, they are one of the largest families of Diptera, surpassed in numbers of species only by the Tipulidae (14,000), Tachinidae (9,200), Syrphidae (5,800), Asilidae (5,600), Ceratopogonidae (5,300), and Dolichopodidae (5,100). They occur in a variety of habitats and ecosystems (from ca. 10 km from the Arctic Ocean in Canada through all latitudes as far south as Tierra del Fuego; and at altitudes from over 3500 m in the Himalayas to 200 m below sea level at the shores of the Dead Sea). They are found on all continents except Antarctica and also many oceanic islands. The family has a remarkable range in size (from some Exoprosopa with wingspans of more than 60 mm to the tiny Apolysis that can be as small as 1.5 mm in length) and variety of shapes (e.g., Systropus mimicking ammophiline wasps; Bombomyia mimic- king bumblebees). The adults of the larger species are powerful and agile fliers, rivaling the syrphid flies in their ability to hover and move in all directions while in flight. With many species possessing colorful patterns of stripes and spots on the wings and bodies, bee flies are often some of the most striking in appearance of all the Diptera. Individuals can often be seen either resting in the open on trails or on rocks or twigs sunning themselves, or feeding on a variety of flowering plants.

St::ttns of 15 Antioch Insects Listed in Notice of 75 Review by the U.S. Fish "l.nd Wildlife Service INTRODUCTION The sand dune formation east of Antioch, Contra Costa County, California, comprised the largest riverine dune system in California. Biogeographically, this formation was unique because it supported a northern extension of plants and animals of desert, rather than coastal, affinities. Geologists believe that the dunes were relicts of the most recent glaciation of the Sierra Nevada, probably originating 10,000 to 25,000 years ago, with the sand derived from the supratidal floodplain of the combined Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers. The ice age climate in the area is thought to have been cold but arid. Presumably summertime winds sweeping through the Carquinez Strait across the glacial-age floodplains would have picked up the fine-grained sand and redeposited it to the east and southeast, thus creating the dune fields of eastern Contra Costa County.

  • Bombyliidae: Anthracinae) from the Americas and Reassessment of Anthrax Dentoni Lewis, 1969
    Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org Two new and disparate fossil bee flies (Bombyliidae: Anthracinae) from the Americas and reassessment of Anthrax dentoni Lewis, 1969 Dale E. Greenwalt, Jonathan G. Wingerath, and Neal L. Evenhuis ABSTRACT In this study, two new species of anthracine bee flies are described and one previ- ously described species is reassessed. Anthrax succini Greenwalt and Evenhuis sp. nov. is the first of the very speciose genus Anthrax and only the second bombyliid to be described from Dominican amber. The previously described Anthrax dentoni Lewis, 1969 was re-examined and reassigned to Anthracinae incertae sedis due to lack of morphological detail required for generic assignment. Eoanomala melas Greenwalt and Evenhuis gen. and sp. nov. is described from the Middle Eocene oil shales of the Kishenehn Formation. Eoanomala melas contains a number of character states that are not found together in any extant genera and, although it may fit within the tribe Vil- lini, it does not appear to be closely related to the extant constituents of that clade.

  • September 18 Birds in the City: Conservation Needs, How to Reduce Threats, and How We Can Improve Urban Habitats
    Volume 30, Issue 1 September, 2018 Vol. 30 No. 1 Owashtanong Islands Audubon Society-far flowing water September, 2018, Pg. 1 Grand Haven, Michigan September 18 Birds in the City: Conservation needs, how to reduce threats, and how we can improve urban habitats Presented by Linnea Rowse, Conservation Program Coordinator, Michigan Audubon Linnea is an avid birder, and though she doesn’t like to pick favorites, her unofficial favorite group of birds are warblers (maybe you can twist her arm and get a specific favorite bird someday!). Linnea grew up in Minnesota, and feels lucky to have parents who encouraged her to get outdoors and got her involved with birding (i.e., participating in Birdathons!) at an early age. Though Linnea was generally interested in birds as a young adult, her passion for bird conservation and birding grew after a college semester abroad in New Zealand, and grew again with her first seasonal bird job after she graduated; she has been working in the avian conservation field now for the past 10 years. Linnea is very excited to join Michigan Audubon, as the core mission aligns with her own values – to connect birds and people, and to do so by employing sound conservation science, research, outreach, and education.
