  • Arts in Wild Felid Conservation Programmes in Poland and in the World

To develop effective and optimal wild cat conservation programmes with assisted reproductive technology (ART) it is necessary to combine advances from different disciplines of science, starting from the biology of the species, through research into the population and habitat, assisted reproductive technologies, establishment of gene banks, developing bioinformatic systems, and ending with biodiversity and endangered species management. In the last few years knowledge of felid reproduction has expanded considerably thanks to comparative studies utilising the domestic cat as a research model for endangered wild cats. Basic reproductive techniques utilised in both domestic cat breeding and rescuing wild felid populations that are threatened with extinction include semen collection and cryopreservation, artificial insemination, oocyte collection, in vitro maturation, in vitro fertilisation, somatic cloning, and embryo transfer.

  • Checkered Beetles Moths (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) – Hazardous Phytophags of Arboreal and Shrubby Plants of Botanical Gardens and Plantings of Kiev M
    UDC 632.634.791.937 (477.75) © 2017 Checkered beetles moths (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) – hazardous phytophags of arboreal and shrubby plants of botanical gardens and plantings of Kiev M. Lisovyi, O. Sylchuk Natsional University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Heroev Oborony str., 13, Kyiv, 03041, Ukraine P. Chumak, V. Kovalchuk, Botanichny Garden of Acad. O. Fomina The purpose. To carry out probes on revealing and specification of species composition of checkered moths (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) in conditions of botanical gardens and plantings of Kiev. Methods. Standard methods of faunistic research in entomology, population ecology, and protection of plants. Results. It is determined that 24 kinds of checkered moths are eating 54 kinds of plants which are widely used for gardening in Kiev. For the first time the following kinds are revealed: Phyllonorycter issikii, Phyllonorycter platani, and Phyllonorycter emberizaepennella. At calculation of Palii-Kovnatski indexes they specified that in city plantings the dominant phytophags are Cameraria ohridella (94,11%), Phyllonorycter populifoliella (86,37%) and Gracillaria syringella (59,14%). They consider that in formation of the secondary areal of invasion kinds of checkered moths the great value has an areal of spread of the host-plant. Environmental analysis is carried out of checkered moths of family Gracillariidae which is spread in cities of the Europe and which are absent in fauna of cities of Ukraine. That has important theoretical and practical value for ecology, entomology and protection of plants against hazardous checkered moths. Conclusions. All the probed kinds of checkered moths by their trophic specialization may be distributed into polyphages (6 kinds), oligophages (14 kinds) and monophages (3 kinds).

A. Yefremova & V. D. Kravchenko Abstract The article reports on the quantitative description of the food web structure of the community consisting of 65 species of Lepidoptera leaf miners reared from 34 plant species, as well as 107 species of parasitoid eulophid wasps (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae). The study was conducted in the forest-steppe zone of the Middle Volga in Russia over 13 years (2000-2012). Leaf miners have been found to be highly host plant-specific. Most of them are associated with only one or two plant species and therefore the number of links between trophic levels is 73, which is close to the total number of Lepidoptera species (linkage density is 1.12).

  • Discover Sobrarbe 2017.Indd 1 20/07/2017 15:14:33 Introduction
    Discover Sobrarbe _2017.indd 1 20/07/2017 15:14:33 Introduction The central Pyrenees, the mountain range spanning from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, is the steepest, wildest and most spectacular part of this land mass. Its highest peaks, its deepest valleys and its glaciers, together with a great variety of habitats hardly altered by human activity, have become the refuge of a great number of animal and plant species. Sobrarbe, one of the boroughs of the province of Huesca, spreads over 2,202 square kilometres in the Central Pyrenees and pre-Pyrenean ranges and includes the River Ara basin and the River Cinca headwaters and its tributaries. Cave paintings, dolmens and other findings show us that this land was populated in the Neolithic age. The Romans arrived many centuries later, then the Visigoths and later still the Moslems, who were expelled in the 10th century. There were hard times for the people of Sobrarbe although in the 16th century there was a period of prosperity. The 20th century brought about great improvements (investments, road networks) and great disasters (Civil War, eservoirs, depopulation…). Around 7,500 people live in Sobrarbe, most of whom work either inagriculture or in the service sector. They live in a privileged area ofgreat beauty. Sobrarbe aims at sustainable development according to the parameters of the Local Agenda 21. This guide is an invitation to walk through this area and learn about its history, its villages, its landscape and its people. Just a few clues will lead you to enjoy many of Sobrarbe’s beauty spots.
