  • Preface to Artificial Key to Common and Noteworthy Species of Inocybe from the Pacific Northwest
    Preface to Artificial Key to Common and Noteworthy Species of Inocybe from the Pacific Northwest This key is aimed at an audience familiar with the determination of agarics in general but unfamiliar with Inocybe. The key stresses gross morphological characters as I think appropriate before yielding to taxa that are better distinguished microscopically. 43 species are enumerated below and several others are mentioned, but probably over 100 occur in the Pacific Northwest, a region circumscribed to include British Columbia, Washington, Idaho, western Montana, Oregon, and northern California. Of the 43 species in the key, few are endemic to the region based on gross morphological species concepts. However, the key is recommended for use with Pacific Northwest material. Many eastern North American species of Inocybe, for example, do not occur in the Pacific Northwest and are excluded from this treatment. The genus Inocybe (Fr.) Fr. traditionally has encompassed dull brown-spored agarics that are ectomycorrhizal and frequently occur on soil; exhibit a dry pileus that is often rimose, fibrillose, or scaly; and have a distinctive smell that is often spermatic or less often fruity, sweet, aromatic, like bruised Geranium leaves, like Lycoperdon, or green corn. Species of Hebeloma differ by their gelatinous pileus, often radish smell, typically verrucose basidiospores, and absence of metuloid cystidia. Decomposers such as Phaeomarasmius and Flammulaster differ by their occurrence on woody debris and lack of metuloid cystidia. The Crepidotaceae, including Pleuroflammula and Simocybe, is the closest related group to Inocybe, which I treat as a separate family in its own right (see Matheny et al. (2006) Mycologia 98:982- 995).

A taxonomic survey of the Peniophoraceae Mathias Andreasen [email protected] & Nils Hallenberg [email protected] Dept of Plant and Environmental Sciences Box 461, S-405 30 Gothenburg, Sweden Introduction This work is a literature study of peniophoroid basidiomycetes, holding information about the genera Peniophora, Duportella and Dendrophora concerning species- and generic descriptions and distributions, all on a worldwide scale. Moreover, keys have been made to distinguish the different genera and species, and we have tried to get an overview over the molecular studies made on this group of fungi. It is generally accepted that the genus Peniophora Cooke is a member of the Corticiaceae s.l. in its traditional sense (Wu 2003). Cortbase recognizes 78 species in Peniophora, 12 species in Duportella and 2 in Dendrophora (Cortbase 2008), but some species are little known and may just have been found once, while other ones are very closely related and difficult to distinguish even by use of the microscope.

  • Scottish Macro-Moth List, 2015
    Notes on the Scottish Macro-moth List, 2015 This list aims to include every species of macro-moth reliably recorded in Scotland, with an assessment of its Scottish status, as guidance for observers contributing to the National Moth Recording Scheme (NMRS). It updates and amends the previous lists of 2009, 2011, 2012 & 2014. The requirement for inclusion on this checklist is a minimum of one record that is beyond reasonable doubt. Plausible but unproven species are relegated to an appendix, awaiting confirmation or further records. Unlikely species and known errors are omitted altogether, even if published records exist. Note that inclusion in the Scottish Invertebrate Records Index (SIRI) does not imply credibility. At one time or another, virtually every macro-moth on the British list has been reported from Scotland. Many of these claims are almost certainly misidentifications or other errors, including name confusion. However, because the County Moth Recorder (CMR) has the final say, dubious Scottish records for some unlikely species appear in the NMRS dataset. A modern complication involves the unwitting transportation of moths inside the traps of visiting lepidopterists. Then on the first night of their stay they record a species never seen before or afterwards by the local observers. Various such instances are known or suspected, including three for my own vice-county of Banffshire. Surprising species found in visitors’ traps the first time they are used here should always be regarded with caution. Clerical slips – the wrong scientific name scribbled in a notebook – have long caused confusion. An even greater modern problem involves errors when computerising the data.

  • Pygoscelis Adeliae) at Cape Crozier, Ross Island, Antarctica PARKER M
    Antarctic Science page 1 of 9 (2021) © Antarctic Science Ltd 2021 doi:10.1017/S0954102021000158 Breeding behaviour of colour-aberrant Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) at Cape Crozier, Ross Island, Antarctica PARKER M. LEVINSON 1, ANNIE E. SCHMIDT 1, VIRGINIA MORANDINI2, MEGAN ELROD1, DENNIS JONGSOMJIT1 and GRANT BALLARD1 1Point Blue Conservation Science, 3820 Cypress Dr #11, Petaluma, CA 94954, USA 2Oregon State University, 104 Nash Hall, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA [email protected] Abstract: Plumage colour variation occurs widely among bird species and is often associated with individual fitness. More specifically, colouration can affect thermoregulatory ability, mate selection and conspicuousness during foraging. Colour aberrations can be caused by genetic mutations, dietary imbalances, environmental conditions or disease and are rare. Plumage variations have previously been noted in Adélie penguins, although without any follow-up to measure implications for behaviour or fitness. To assess how this low-frequency condition affects breeding in Adélie penguins, we monitored the breeding of several colour-aberrant Adélie penguins during the 2019–2020 nesting season at the large Cape Crozier, Ross Island colony (> 300,000 pairs). In total, we found 12 individuals with unusual plumage for a frequency of 1:50,000 breeding penguins. There were seven dark brown Adélie penguins, three progressive greying Adélie penguins, one dilute Adélie penguin and one brown Adélie penguin, of which five were female, three male and four of unknown sex. Six colour aberrants initiated breeding with a normal-coloured mate, and five raised at least one chick to crèche. The likelihood of breeding and breeding success of colour aberrants were similar to those of normal-coloured Adélie penguins, suggesting that colour aberrations do not negatively affect breeding.

    Identification of Isabelline Wheatear, Desert Warbler and three Phylloscopus warblers Alan R. Kitson i, 3, o, ii2 & o: the British and Irish records totals of each of these five mainly Asiatic species he background to my observations in Mongolia was detailed earlier T(Kitson 1978). This paper covers five more species which have occurred or might occur as vagrants to western Europe. Isabelline Wheatear Oenanthe isabellina From mid April onwards, this wheatear breeds very commonly on the grassy steppes of Mongolia and half-heard snatches of its whistling, highly mimetic song were always causing me to look around, now for a wader, now for a tern. I became very familiar with it. Having compared my notes with the texts of modern field guides, I wish to emphasise several characters that seem to me to be incompletely appreciated, particularly in the all-important differentiation (to observers in Europe) of Isabelline from the pale morphs of the Greenland race of Wheatear 0. oenanthe leucorrhoa. First, it is important to recognise the differences in rump- and tail- pattern of wheatears. Fig. 1 shows these for five species. To my eyes, it is the tail-pattern and tail-shape of Isabelline which form the most immediate distinctions in the field from Wheatear. In that species, the tail-pattern is essentially an inverted black T abutting a white base; the a bed Fig. 1. Field appearance of tails of five wheatears Oenanthe.

Belousova1, Svetlana P. Bass2, Svetlana A. Zinoveva3, Sergei A. Kozlov3,*, and Sergei S. Markin3 1All-Russian Research Institute of Horse Breeding (VNIIK), 391105 Divovo Village, Ryazan Region, Russia 2Izhevsk State Agricultural Academy, 426069 Izhevsk, Russia 3Moscow State Academy of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnology – MVA named after K.I. Skryabin, 109472 Moscow, Russia Abstract. The predominant coat colors in Vyatka horse breed are bay-brown (69.6 %) and mousey (20.8 %). Among the genotyped livestock, three genotypes of the base bay coat color (EE/AA, EE/Aa, Ee/AA) and two genotypes of the base solid blackcock (EE/a/a, Ee/aa) have been detected. The proportion of horses with Cr allele is 2.1 %. In Vyatka horse breed, three isabelline-brown horses (Cr/Cr) have been recorded and the presence of W20n allele was detected. Among the horses genotyped, 35.5 % are DD homozygous, 61.3 % are heterozygous (Dd1, Dd2), 3.2 % have the nd2/nd2 genotype. Allele d2 against the background of D does not always cause the presence of “wild” markings, unlike D/D. The influence of Dun-factor on the depigmentation area has not been detected. 39.9 % of horses have white markings (including 30 % of stallions), which are mainly facial markings (59.8 %), less often they are leg markings (21.6 %) or both facial and leg markings (18, 6 %). 1 Introduction At the same time, the chestnut (red and brown) coat color has become rather rare in the breed.
