Contemporary patterns of plant biodiversity result from the ecological and evolutionary processes generated by species interactions. Understanding these interactions is key for effective biodiversity conservation at the species and the ecosystem level. Orchid species often have highly specialised pollinator interactions, and the preservation of these is critical for in situ orchid conservation. The majority of orchid species occur in tropical regions, and information regarding their interactions is limited. We present data on pollinator identities, pollination mechanisms and flowering phenology of the Colombian endemic orchid, Pleurothallis marthae. We evaluated the mechanisms of attraction, the presence of osmophores, and the reproductive system of the species. Pleurothallis marthae is self-compatible with nocturnal anthesis pollinated by Mycetophila sp. (Mycetophilidae), probably attracted by a string fungus like smell liberated by the flower and Bradysia sp. (Sciaridae) that feed on nectar in the labellum. Osmophores and nectaries were detected in the epidermis of the sepals and petals. We present new evidence that the genus Pleurothallis is adapted to Diptera pollination. Our study indicates that the pollination mechanism of P.

    List of Illustrations from Chapter 4, Natural History of Upper Weardale, Geomorphology and glacial legacy. by David J A Evans This document provides a larger version of the illustrations for Chapter 4 of the Natural History of Upper Weardale, Geomorphology and Glacial Legacy. By providing this in a PDF format it should be possible to enlarge to some extent and gain a clearer insight. Figure 1: Northern England contour colour coded digital elevation model (DEM) derived from NEXTMap imagery (courtesy of NERC via the Earth Observation Data Centre). The main physiographic areas are highlighted and include the streamlined (drumlin filled) corridors created by fast ice stream flow during glaciations. The fluvial drainage pattern and largely V-shaped valley cross profiles of the North Pennines (Alston Block) are also prominent.

  • Managing Scotland's Pinewoods for Their Wild Flowers
    Managing Scotland’s pinewoods for their wild fl owers Back from the Brink Management Series Back from the Brink Management Series Over the last two decades, there has been welcome enthusiasm for revitalising Scotland’s Old Caledonian pinewoods. Management has focused on regenerating trees within the few remaining natural woods and establishing trees to create ‘new native woodlands’ but with relatively little attention to the wider plant community of these woods. This booklet provides land managers with advice on managing native and semi-natural pinewoods for their vascular plant communities, based on recent and ongoing management trials. It focuses especially on the characteristic pinewood herbs.

    Durham Rare Plant Register 2013 Covering VC66 and the Teesdale part of VC65 JOHN L. DURKIN MSc. MCIEEM BSBI Recorder for County Durham 25 May Avenue. Winlaton Mill, Blaydon, NE21 6SF [email protected] www.durhamnature.co.uk Contents Introduction to the rare plants register Notes on plant distribution and protection The individual species accounts in alphabetical order Site Index First published 2010. This is the 2013, third edition. Improvements in this edition include- An additional 10% records, most of these more recent and more precise. New colour coded maps produced from DMAP. This edition is “regionally aligned”, that is, several species which are county rare in Northumberland, but were narrowly rejected for the Durham first edition, are now included. Cover picture—Spring Gentian at Widdybank Fell. Introduction Many counties are in the process of compiling a County Rare Plant Register, to assist in the study and conservation of their rare species. The process is made easier if the county has a published Flora and a strong Biological Records Centre, and Durham is fortunate to have Gordon Graham's Flora and the Durham Wildlife Trust’s “Recorder" system. We have also had a Biodiversity project, based at Rainton Meadows, which until 2013 carried out conservation projects to protect the rare species. It is hoped that the “RPR” will act as a stimulus for local botanists to make special efforts to improve the database by recording these species. The register will be used to increase our understanding of the status and distribution of the rare species, and to aid and promote their conservation.
