The aim of this report Water and wetlands are a key feature – including is to bring together and interpret the large rivers, streams, ponds, and reservoirs.

JOLLEY KEYWORDS: Groove – Gritstone – Pennine – Anthropogenic marking – Petroglyph STRANGE GROOVES IN THE PENNINES, UNITED KINGDOM David Shepherd and Frank Jolley Abstract. This paper presents an account of grooved markings found on sandstone surfaces in the Pennine upland of Yorkshire, United Kingdom, of other single examples in Scotland and the U.S.A., and of numerous unsuccessful attempts to secure an archaeological or geological explanation for them. Of particular interest are the cases where cupules and grooves appear in juxtaposition. There is a concluding discussion of some aspects which may inform a practical aetiology.

  • Contrasting Patterns of Karyotype and Sex Chromosome Evolution in Lepidoptera
    School of Doctoral Studies in Biological Sciences University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice Faculty of Science Contrasting patterns of karyotype and sex chromosome evolution in Lepidoptera Ph.D. Thesis Mgr. Jindra Šíchová Supervisor: Prof. RNDr. František Marec, CSc. Biology Centre of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Institute of Entomology České Budějovice 2016 This thesis should be cited as: Šíchová J (2016) Contrasting patterns of karyotype and sex chromosome evolution in Lepidoptera. Ph.D. Thesis. University of South Bohemia, Faculty of Science, School of Doctoral Studies in Biological Sciences, České Budějovice, Czech Republic, 91 pp. Annotation It is known that chromosomal rearrangements play an important role in speciation by limiting gene flow within and between species. Furthermore, this effect may be enhanced by involvement of sex chromosomes that are known to undergo fast evolution compared to autosomes and play a special role in speciation due to their engagement in postzygotic reproductive isolation. The work presented in this study uses various molecular- genetic and cytogenetic techniques to describe karyotype and sex chromosome evolution of two groups of Lepidoptera, namely selected representatives of the family Tortricidae and Leptidea wood white butterflies of the family Pieridae. The acquired knowledge points to unexpected evolutionary dynamics of lepidopteran karyotypes including the presence of derived neo-sex chromosome systems that originated as a result of chromosomal rearrangements. We discuss the significance of these findings for radiation and subsequent speciation of both lepidopteran groups.

  • 26 Hartwith Moor Grassland Plateau
    A Hartwith Moor looking north east. AREA 26 Approved Feb 2004 Hartwith Moor Grassland Plateau Description This is a pocket of flat to gently undulating grassland plateau south of Brimham Rocks covering 2km 2. The area is dominated by the regular, organised pattern of parliamentary field enclosures with dry stone wall field boundaries. Prior to parliamentary enclosure the area would have been open moor. The linear minor roads through the area conform to field pattern. The simpl­ icity and consistency of the muted green square fields is harmonious and the lack of large settlement makes the landscape seem remote. The area is large scale and open with vast views due to sparse coverage of trees and woodland. Brimham Rocks SSSI abuts the northern edge of the Character Area and its contrasting landform and rock outcrops create a unique and unusual backdrop to the fields. With the exception of telegraph poles that cross the area it is attractive. Brimham Rocks, and the strong field pattern, are visual elements of interest in this Character Area which lies within the Nidderale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Biologie animală, Tom LIII, 2007 LEAF-MINING INSECTS ENCOUNTERED IN THE FOREST RESERVE OF HÂRBOANCA, VASLUI COUNTY Alina-Maria STOLNICU “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University, Iasi, the Faculty of Biology, Carol I Blvd., no. 22, 700505, Iaşi, Romania e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. As a result of a series of studies conducted within the Forest Reserve of Hârboanca (Vaslui) between June 2005 and October 2006, there were identified 60 species of leaf-mining insects, belonging to 14 families, from three different orders: Lepidoptera (83%), Diptera (12%) and Hymenoptera (5%). The “mines” caused by the larvae of these insects were identified on 34 different species of hosting plants, mostly wooden plants. The leaf-mining Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera larvae are more likely to grow on wooden plants, while those belonging to the Diptera order prefer herbaceous plants. One of the species, Phyllonorycter issikii (Kumata) found here was signaled for the first time in Romanian fauna, while other ten species were encountered for the first time in Moldavia. Keywords: leaf-mining insects, Forest Reserve of Hârboanca, Romanian, fauna. Rezumat. Insecte miniere semnalate în Rezervaţia Forestieră Hârboanca (Vaslui). În urma studiilor efectuate în Rezervaţia Forestieră Hârboanca (Vaslui) în perioada iunie 2005 - octombrie 2006 s-au identificat 60 de specii de insecte miniere care aparţin la 14 familii, grupate în 3 ordine: Lepidoptera (83%), Diptera (12%) şi Hymenoptera (5%). Minele provocate de larvele insectelor miniere au fost identificate pe 34 de specii de plante-gazdă, majoritatea fiind de esenţă lemnoasă. Larvele lepidopterelor şi himenopterelor miniere se dezvoltă mai mult pe plantele lemnoase, în schimb dipterele preferă plantele ierboase.
