  • Pesticide Use in Periurban Environment
    PESTICIDE USE IN PERIURBAN ENVIRONMENT Nur Ahmed Introductory Paper at the Faculty of Landscape Planning, Horticulture and Agricultural Science 2008:1 Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Alnarp, July 2008 ISSN 1654-3580 PESTICIDE USE IN PERIURBAN ENVIRONMENT Nur Ahmed Introductory Paper at the Faculty of Landscape Planning, Horticulture and Agricultural Science 2008:1 Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Alnarp, July 2008 2 © By the author Figure 15 reprinted with kind permission of Ruth Hazzard, [email protected] and also available at http://www.umassvegetable.org/soil_crop_pest_mgt/insect_mgt/cabbage_maggot.html Figure 16 reprinted with kind permission of Ruth Hazzard, [email protected], and Becky Koch, [email protected] 3 Summary This introductory paper focuses on pesticides; use, regulation, impact on nature, economics, and interactions with pests, non target organisms as well as society in the periurban environment and with an international context. With an increasingly skeptical society to pesticides it is important that scientists and non-specialists (farmers and neighbours) meet and discuss their ideas about insecticide use and risks. This is necessary because the public’s perception of risks may well diverge significantly from that of specialists. In the periurban areas (the urban fringe) these problems and divergent opinions are likely to be more pronounced than in the rural areas. This review paper is also discussing the insect pest migrations and trap cropping with a view to find out whether insecticide application in field crops (e.g. oilseed rape) affects pest density in the adjacent garden crops (e.g. radish). Preface This introductory paper is a review based on references from libraries, internet and personal communication.

The mite fauna from ‘Jóia 4’, ‘Ouromel 3’, ‘Regis’ and ‘Rei da conserva’ cultivars over the rootstock Okinawa were determined from December 2002 to February 2006. Samples composed by 72 leaves were collected fortnightly from upper, middle and lower third of each tree and four trees per cultivar.

  • Microhabitats and Fragmentation Effects on a Ground Beetle Community (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in a Mountainous Beech Forest Landscape
    Turkish Journal of Zoology Turk J Zool (2016) 40: 402-410 http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/zoology/ © TÜBİTAK Research Article doi:10.3906/zoo-1404-13 Microhabitats and fragmentation effects on a ground beetle community (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in a mountainous beech forest landscape 1,2, 1,2 1 Slavčo HRISTOVSKI *, Aleksandra CVETKOVSKA-GJORGIEVSKA , Trajče MITEV 1 Institute of Biology, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University, Skopje, Macedonia 2 Macedonian Ecological Society, Skopje, Macedonia Received: 10.04.2014 Accepted/Published Online: 12.08.2015 Final Version: 07.04.2016 Abstract: The aim of this investigation was to analyze the effects of microhabitats and forest fragmentation on the composition and species abundance of a ground beetle community from three different beech forest patches on Mt. Osogovo (Macedonia), as well as to analyze the mobility (based on mark-recapture of individuals) and seasonal dynamics and sex ratio of the ground beetle community. The study site included three localities (A, B, C), one of them fragmented (A), with four microhabitats (open area, ecotone, forest stand, and forested corridor). Ground beetles were collected using pitfall traps during four sampling months (June–September 2009) that were operational for three continuous days per month. Species richness, abundance, diversity, homogeneity, and dominance were compared between the localities. Dissimilarities in carabid assemblages between localities and microhabitats were analyzed with Bray–Curtis UPGMA cluster analysis. In total 1320 carabid individuals belonging to 19 species were captured. The carabid assemblage structure of the continuous forest locality was substantially different from the other two smaller forest patches, indicating that microhabitat structure affects ground beetle communities through changes of species composition and richness.
