    Abatement Patterns of Predation Risk in an Insect Herbivore Jörg G

    Predator hunting mode and host plant quality shape attack- abatement patterns of predation risk in an insect herbivore Jörg G. Stephan,1,† Matthew Low,1 Johan A. Stenberg,2 and Christer Björkman1 1Department of Ecology, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, PO Box 7044, SE-75007 Uppsala, Sweden 2Department of Plant Protection Biology, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, PO Box 102, SE-23053 Alnarp, Sweden Citation: Stephan, J. G., M. Low, J. A. Stenberg, and C. Björkman. 2016. Predator hunting mode and host plant quality shape attack- abatement patterns of predation risk in an insect herbivore. Ecosphere 7(11):e01541. 10.1002/ecs2.1541 Abstract. Group formation reduces individual predation risk when the proportion of prey taken per predator encounter declines faster than the increase in group encounter rate (attack-abatement). Despite attack- abatement being an important component of group formation ecology, several key aspects have not been empirically studied, that is, interactions with the hunting mode of the predator and how these relationships are modified by local habitat quality. In 79 cage trials, we examined individual egg predation risk in different- sized egg clutches from the blue willow beetle Phratora vulgatissima for two predators with different hunting modes (consumption of full group [Orthotylus marginalis] vs. part group [Anthocoris nemorum]). Because these predators also take nutrients from plant sap, we could examine how the quality of alternative food sources (high- vs. low- quality host plant sap) influenced attack-abatement patterns in the presence of different hunting strategies. For the O. marginalis predator, individual egg predation risk was largely independent of group size.

    Os Nomes Galegos Dos Moluscos

    A Chave Os nomes galegos dos moluscos 2017 Citación recomendada / Recommended citation: A Chave (2017): Nomes galegos dos moluscos recomendados pola Chave. http://www.achave.gal/wp-content/uploads/achave_osnomesgalegosdos_moluscos.pdf 1 Notas introdutorias O que contén este documento Neste documento fornécense denominacións para as especies de moluscos galegos (e) ou europeos, e tamén para algunhas das especies exóticas máis coñecidas (xeralmente no ámbito divulgativo, por causa do seu interese científico ou económico, ou por seren moi comúns noutras áreas xeográficas). En total, achéganse nomes galegos para 534 especies de moluscos. A estrutura En primeiro lugar preséntase unha clasificación taxonómica que considera as clases, ordes, superfamilias e familias de moluscos. Aquí apúntase, de maneira xeral, os nomes dos moluscos que hai en cada familia. A seguir vén o corpo do documento, onde se indica, especie por especie, alén do nome científico, os nomes galegos e ingleses de cada molusco (nalgún caso, tamén, o nome xenérico para un grupo deles). Ao final inclúese unha listaxe de referencias bibliográficas que foron utilizadas para a elaboración do presente documento. Nalgunhas desas referencias recolléronse ou propuxéronse nomes galegos para os moluscos, quer xenéricos quer específicos. Outras referencias achegan nomes para os moluscos noutras linguas, que tamén foron tidos en conta. Alén diso, inclúense algunhas fontes básicas a respecto da metodoloxía e dos criterios terminolóxicos empregados. 2 Tratamento terminolóxico De modo moi resumido, traballouse nas seguintes liñas e cos seguintes criterios: En primeiro lugar, aprofundouse no acervo lingüístico galego. A respecto dos nomes dos moluscos, a lingua galega é riquísima e dispomos dunha chea de nomes, tanto específicos (que designan un único animal) como xenéricos (que designan varios animais parecidos).

For the first two taxa a lectotype and a neotype are designated respectively. Key words — taxonomy, Tricholomatales Introduction Type materials of sixteen critical Melanoleuca taxa have already been discussed in two previous publications (Fontenla & Para 2007, 2008).

Even so, 8 no individual mollusc species has emerged as a broadly applied model system in biology. 9 We here make the case that both perceptual and methodological barriers have played a role 10 in the relative neglect of molluscs as research organisms. We then summarize the current 11 application and potential of molluscs and their genomes to address important questions in 12 animal biology, and the state of the field when it comes to the availability of resources such 13 as genome assemblies, cell lines, and other key elements necessary to mobilising the 14 development of molluscan model systems. We conclude by contending that a cohesive 15 research community that works together to elevate multiple molluscan systems to ‘model’ 16 status will create new opportunities in addressing basic and applied biological problems, 17 including general features of animal evolution. 18 Introduction 19 Molluscs are globally important as sources of food, calcium and pearls, and as vectors of 20 human disease. From an evolutionary perspective, molluscs are notable for their remarkable 21 diversity: originating over 500 million years ago, there are over 70,000 extant mollusc 22 species [1], with molluscs present in virtually every ecosystem.

Abstract Additions, deletions and corrections are made to the Irish checklist of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera). Elachista biatomella (Stainton, 1848) is added to the Irish list. The total number of confirmed Irish species of Lepidoptera now stands at 1480. Key words: Lepidoptera, additions, deletions, corrections, Irish list, Elachista biatomella Introduction Bond, Nash and O’Connor (2006) provided a checklist of the Irish Lepidoptera. Since its publication, many new discoveries have been made and are reported here. In addition, several deletions have been made. A concise and updated checklist is provided. The following abbreviations are used in the text: BM(NH) – The Natural History Museum, London; NMINH – National Museum of Ireland, Natural History, Dublin. The total number of confirmed Irish species now stands at 1480, an addition of 68 since Bond et al. (2006). Taxonomic arrangement As a result of recent systematic research, it has been necessary to replace the arrangement familiar to British and Irish Lepidopterists by the Fauna Europaea [FE] system used by Karsholt 60 Bulletin of the Irish Biogeographical Society No. 36 (2012) and Razowski, which is widely used in continental Europe.

Crop Production Ecology, Ulls väg 16, SE-750 07 Uppsala, email: [email protected] I. POLICY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK IPC aims to promote the cultivation, conservation and utilization of members of the family Salicaceae, which includes poplars and willows. In this context we see that the major interest for the species in Sweden lies in developing new cultivars, cultivation and utilization of them, and environmental effects of cultivation. That does not mean that conservation issues are lacking, but are of less size. The values of old sallow and aspen are well known and they constitute valuable ingredients in nature reserves and landscape planning. Europe and Sweden are implementing strategies for greenhouse gas emission objectives, including ambitious targets for renewable energy. In Sweden, biomass production with willows, aspens and poplars on agricultural land will play a key role in this development. During recent years, Sweden has been rather successful in introducing biomass as fuel for heat and electricity production and in 2011 bioenergy became the single largest energy source in the country representing 32 % of the energy consumption. Do date this source is dominated by black liquors and biofuels from forest residues, but new sources like aspens, poplars and willows are increasing. The success of bioenergy was initially the result of a combination of exogenous success factors such as high levels of available forestry resources, a strong forest products industry, and the existence of an established network of district heating systems.

Received: 17 July 2020; Accepted: 24 August 2020; Published: 28 August 2020 Abstract: Natural products have long played a major role in medicine and science. The garden snail Cornu aspersum is a rich source of biologically active natural substances that might be an important source for new drugs to treat human disease. Based on our previous studies, nine fractions containing compounds with Mw <3 kDa; <10 kDa; <20 kDa; >20 kDa; >30 kDa>50 kDa and between 3 and 5 kDa; 5 and 10 kDa; and 10 and 30 kDa were purified from the mucus of C. aspersum and analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF). Seventeen novel peptides with potential antibacterial activity were identified by de novo MS/MS sequencing using tandem mass spectrometry.
