As result of this research it was found 133 species of vascular plants covered with: 112 genera, 39 families, 4 class and 2 divisions. The analysis of the biological spectrum showed 5 life forms with predominant presence of terophytes (45.86%), hemicryptophytes (39.85%) and geophytes (9.77%). Phytogeography analysis has been allocated 9 floristic groups, and the most common are: Cosmopolitan, Eurasian, Mediterranean, Boreal, Adventive and sub-Mediterranean, and together comprise 125 species (93.98%). It is very significant participation of 14 adventive species, and some species have taken invasive character, for example Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. Weed flora of vineyard in B&H is rich in flora due to the existence of continental and sub-Mediterranean wine-growing region. Considerable diversity is caused by the specifics of the study area, which are reflected in different climatic, edaphic and orographic characteristics, plant-geography, and different intensities of anthropogenic influences, traditions and the cultivation of grapevine. On the other hand it is important a presence of cosmopolitan and adventive species that are more or less extensively spread, and beside of typical weed and weed-ruderal species in weed flora of vineyards in B&H it was determined a significant number of ruderal and meadow species. Key words: weed flora, vineyard, Bosnia and Herzegovina. IntroductIon geography, and different intensities of anthropogenic influences, traditions and systems of grape vine growing.

However, genetic drift, particularly due to founder effects, will also commonly result in differentiation in colonizing species. To test whether selection has contributed to trait divergence, we compared differentiation at eight microsatellite loci (measured as FST) to differentiation of quantitative floral and phenological traits (measured as QST) of wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum) across populations from three continents. We sampled eight populations: seven naturalized populations and one from its native range. By comparing estimates of QST and FST, we found that petal size was the only floral trait that may have diverged more than expected due to drift alone, but inflorescence height, flowering time and rosette formation have greatly diverged between the native and non-native populations.

We investigated whether a root-feeding moth found closely associated with oxeye daisy in Europe could be used as a biological control agent for the plant when weedy. We found that the moth could develop on 11 out of 74 plant species that we tested in laboratory conditions when it was given no choice of plants. When the Citation: Stutz, S.; De Clerck-Floate, moths were given a choice of food plants outdoors, we found its larvae only on the ornamentals R.; Hinz, H.L.; McClay, A.; Shasta daisy and creeping daisy. Larval feeding had no impact on the weight and number of flowers McConnachie, A.J.; Schaffner, U.

Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine 2012, 8:21 http://www.ethnobiomed.com/content/8/1/21 JOURNAL OF ETHNOBIOLOGY AND ETHNOMEDICINE RESEARCH Open Access Traditional food and herbal uses of wild plants in the ancient South-Slavic diaspora of Mundimitar/ Montemitro (Southern Italy) Alessandro di Tizio1, Łukasz Jacub Łuczaj2, Cassandra L Quave3, Sulejman Redžić4 and Andrea Pieroni1* Abstract Background: In Europe, only a limited number of cross-cultural comparative field studies or meta-analyses have been focused on the dynamics through which folk plant knowledge changes over space and time, while a few studies have contributed to the understanding of how plant uses change among newcomers. Nevertheless, ethnic minority groups and/or linguistic “isles” in Southern and Eastern Europe may provide wonderful arenas for understanding the various factors that influence changes in plant uses. Methods: A field ethnobotanical study was carried out in Mundimitar (Montemitro in Italian), a village of approx. 450 inhabitants, located in the Molise region of South-Eastern Italy. Mundimitar is a South-Slavic community, composed of the descendants of people who migrated to the area during the first half of the 14th century, probably from the lower Neretva valley (Dalmatia and Herzegovina regions). Eighteen key informants (average age: 63.7) were selected using the snowball sampling technique and participated in in-depth interviews regarding their Traditional Knowledge (TK) of the local flora. Results: Although TK on wild plants is eroded in Montemitro among the youngest generations, fifty-seven taxa (including two cultivated species, which were included due to their unusual uses) were quoted by the study participants.
