Glifosat Ve Diğer Herbisitlere Alternatif Yöntemler
Glifosat ve Diğer Herbisitlere Alternatif Yöntemler Entegre Ot Yönetimi Birçok küçük darbe 2 Teşekkürler: Bu rapor, The Greens/EFA’nın maddi desteğiyle geliştirilmiş ve PAN Avrupa personeli tarafından, Quercus’ta görevli ve Tras-o-Montes e Alto Douro Üniversitesi’nde (UTAD) toprak bilimi eğitmeni Prof. Isabel Branco ile, BHU Gelecek Çiftçilik Merkezi Başkanı Charles Merfield’ın değerli yardım ve katkılarıyla hazırlanmıştır. PAN Avrupa, bu raporun geliştirilmesi için gösterdikleri değerli çabalar için müteşekkirdir. Pestisit Eylem Ağı Avrupa, 2018 (ikinci baskı). Rue de la Pacification, 1000 Brüksel, Belçika Tel: +32 2 318 62 55; [email protected]; www.pan-europe.info Çeviren: Emre Rona 3 İstenmeyen ot yönetiminde herbisit kullanımına alternatifler: Glifosat örneği 01 – Giriş Tarımda sentetik pestisitlerin kullanımı sayesinde gıda üretimi artmış olsa da, bu, çevre, doğal varlıklar ve insan sağlığı pahasına gerçekleşmiştir. BM Gıda Hakkı Özel Sözcüsü’nün 2017 tarihli raporu, pestisit kullanımının insan hakları, insan sağlığı (işçiler, işçi aileleri, dışarıdan insanlar, mukimler, ve tüketiciler) ve çevre üzerindeki zararlı etkilerini vurgulamaktadır. Rapor, ayrıca, pestisit kullanımına bağlı yoğun tarımın, dünyadaki açlığı azaltmadığını da ortaya 1 çıkarmıştır . Herbisitler, tarım ve bahçecilikte daha fazla su, besin ve güneş ışığı için ürünler ve mera bitkileriyle rekabet ederek, tarım ve hayvancılıkta kayba yol açan, dolayısıyla kârı düşüren yabancı otlarla mücadelede kullanılmaktadır. Glifosat başta olmak üzere, herbisitlerin en yaygın kullanıldığı ikinci amaç ise, toprağın işlenmediği veya az işlendiği sistemlerde, hasat öncesinde ve sonrasında arazideki tüm bitki örtüsünü yok etmektir. Ayrıca, hasat öncesi tahıl ve tohum bitkilerini olgunlaştırmak ve kurutmak için de uygulanır. Tarım dışında ise, istilacı bitki türlerinden kurtulmak, kamusal alanların yönetiminde estetik amaçlar veya tehlikeli durumları ortadan kaldırmak niyetiyle (ör. -

Lasˇtu˚vka & A. Lasˇtu˚vka Abstract An annotated list of the Iberian Peninsula Sesiidae is presented. Synanthedon flaviventris (Staudinger, 1883) is new for Spain and the Iberian Peninsula, and S. scoliaeformis (Borkhausen, 1789) is new for Portugal. First concrete occurrence data on Sesia bembeciformis (Hübner, [1806]) are given from Spain. New province records are given of 32 species (about 200 new province records in all). 53 species of the family Sesiidae are known in the Iberian Peninsula (53 in Spain and 32 in Portugal), taxonomic status or level of 3 taxa is as yet unclear (Synanthedon cruciati, Bembecia psoraleae, Pyropteron muscaeformis lusohispanica). The distribution of individual species in the Peninsula is evaluated and a zoogeographical analysis is performed. -

Key words: Lepidoptera, Sesiidae, world literature. Einleitung: Die Literatur über die Schmetterlingsfamilie der Glasflügler (Sesiidae) ist weit verstreut und mittlerweile auch bereits recht umfangreich. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde der Versuch unternommen, die Weltliteratur der Sesiiden zusammenzutragen und aufzulisten. Grundlage dafür waren alle erschienenen Bände des Record of Zoological Literature, Vol. 1-6 (1864-1869), fortgesetzt als Zoological Record, Vol. 7-135 (1870-1998/99) sowie der Lepidopterorum Catalogus, Pars 31, Aegeriidae (DALLA TORRE & STRAND 1925). Darauf aufbauend wurden alle Querverweise in den Literaturverzeichnissen der zitierten Arbeiten geprüft. Aufgenommen wurden nicht nur Originalarbeiten über Sesiidae, sondern auch faunistische Arbeiten, die Angaben über Sesiidae enthalten, da gerade in solchen Arbeiten oft sehr wertvolle Freilandbeobachtungen und Hinweise zur Biologie der entsprechenden Arten zu finden sind. Auf diese Weise sind bisher 3750 Literaturzitate zusammengekommen. Von diesen konnten jedoch erst 1461 (39 %) überprüft werden. Das sind jene Arbeiten, die sich als Original oder Kopie in meiner Bibliothek befinden. -

Lepidoptera Species New for Lithuanian Fauna
24 NEW AND RARE FOR LITHUANIA INSECT SPECIES. Volume 24 LEPIDOPTERA SPECIES NEW FOR LITHUANIAN FAUNA POVILAS IVINSKIS, JOLANTA RIMŠAIT Ė Nature Research Centre, Akademijos 2, Vilnius. E-mails: [email protected]; [email protected] Introduction After the Catalogue of Lepidoptera of Lithuania appeared (Ivinskis, 2004), new information on Lithuanian microlepidoptera was published by many authors (Dapkus et al. , 2007, Ivinskis, 2007, Ivinskis & Rimšaite, 2006, Kazlauskas, 2008, Kazlauskas & Šl ėnys, 2007, Noreika, 2007, Ostrauskas & Ivinskis, 2010a, 2010b, 2010c; Ostrauskas et al ., 2008, 2010a, 2010b). New data on 22 Lepidoptera species are presented in this paper. Material and Methods The majority of the data was collected by P. Ivinskis (P.I.), J. Rimšait ė (J.R.) and V. Pacevi čius (V.P.) during field investigations. Different methods, such as breeding from larvae, netting, pheromone and light trapping were used. Battery traps (8 W blended lamp), screens (160 W mixed lamp), automatic traps with 300 W solar type lamps were used for the light trapping. The material was identified using Bengtsson et al., 2008., Leraut, 2012, Jurivete & Ounap, 2008, Savenkov & Šulcs, 2010. Taxonomical treatment follows that of the Fauna Europaea database (Karsholt & Nieukerken, 2012). The specimens are deposited in the collection of Nature Research Centre (Vilnius, Lithuania).

SCHEUCHENPFLUG Abstract: Synanthedon soffneri SPATENKA 1983 is reported the first time from Upper Austria. The clear wing moth was found by means of synthetical pheromones. The history of its discovery and its biology are compiled. The biotope is discribed and the use of pheromone traps is discussed. Entdeckungsgeschichte: 1978 trug ein böhmischer Käfersammler, J. Haiada, zu Zuchtzwecken einen Ast der Schwarzen Heckenkirsche (Lonicera nigra L.) aus Dobrä na Sumavé (nahe Volary im Böhmerwald, 750- 1000 m) ein. Es schlüpfte ihm daraus ein Glasflügler, den er an den bekannten Sesienspezialisten Dr. K. Spatenka in Budweis abgab. Dieser erkannte die Sesie als noch unbeschrieben und machte sich auf die Suche nach der neuen Art. In 5 Jahren gelang es ihm (zusammen mit Z. LaStuvka), 22 weitere Falter aus Lonicera nigra zu züchten und die Biologie der neuen Species einigermaßen klarzulegen. Schließlich beschrieb Spatenka die neue Art, die S. myopaeformis BKH. auffallend ähnelt (aber mit gelbem Hinterleibsring) zu Ehren des böhmi- schen Lepidopterologen Josef Soffner als Synanthedon soffneri (Spatenka 1983) und stellte sie in die unmittelbare Verwandtschaft von S. -
Environmental Correlates of Species Richness of Sesiidae (Lepidoptera) in Europe

Lepidoptera, Sesiidae, species-area relationship, rhizophagous, xylophagous, macroecology, spatial autoregression, latitudinal gradient Abstract. Recent compilations of species richness for 54 European countries and large islands and linear spatial autocorrelation modelling were used to infer the influence of area and environmental variables on the number of species of clearwing moths (Sesii- dae) in Europe. Area corrected species richness of rhizophagous Sesiidae peaked at about 40°N and decreased towards higher and lower latitudes. Most species rich was Greece (45 species), Bulgaria (37), Italy (35) and Romania (35). The area corrected species richness of xylophagous Sesiidae peaked at about 45°N with France (24) and Italy (22) being most species rich. Species richness was significantly positively correlated with area and the average yearly difference in temperature, and significantly negatively correlated with latitude. Island and mainland SAR slopes did not differ significantly, however island species richness per unit area appeared to be about 2 to 2.5 times lower than mainland species richness.
