Rev. Syst. Ecol. Res. IN MEMORIAM Florian Porcius (1816 - 1906) “Impressive appears the example of the persevering and victorious fighter against all kind of difficulties offered by the personality and botanical career of Florian Porcius.” These appreciative words of Professor Emil Pop (1897-1974), member of the Romanian Academy of Science, are an expression of respect for Florian Porcius, and a commemoration of the activity and exceptional achievements of a lifetime of botanical studies, realised alongside other professional activities, for his home landscape, for the Rodna Mountains. He was born on 28 August 1816 in Rodna Veche (Bistriţa-Năsăud County, Transylvania-Maramureş area, Romania) at the foot of the Rodna Mountains into a family of former border guards. As his parents died early, he was educated by his grandfather, the priest Gherasim Porcius. After primary school, Florian Porcius between 1827/1831 attended the Normal Military School of the Habsburg (Austrian) Empire in the German language at Năsăud, and in the following period secondary schools in Blaj and Cluj-Napoca. Back at Rodna Veche he worked up until 1836 as a teacher in his home village. With a scholarship from the “Border Guardians Fund”, in 1844 he arrived in Vienna for further education, including botanical and agricultural knowledge. The lectures of the famous botanist Professor Ştefan Endlicher opened his great interest for botanical studies, which had never been aroused in his later pedagogical, political and administrative career. Returning to Transylvania, Florian Porcius worked as a teacher, as an employer in the local and regional administration, as a district judge, as a leading functionary in the border guardians’ administration and as president of the Orphan Office. Retired in 1877, Florian Porcius continued his botanical studies for some thirty years. He died in his native locality on 30 May 1906 at the great age of about ninety years. With his botanical researches Florian Porcius introduced a note of intensively floristic research of Transylvania. For his studies he made the choice for the mountains of Rodna, a representative massif of mountains in the Romanian Eastern Carpathians. He studied in detail the flora and conditions of vegetation of the whole Rodna Mountains, also in comparison with other massifs of the Romanian Carpathians, and in 1868 published the Flora of the Năsăud District and, following this, also other botanical papers. He described new species such as Heracleum carpaticum, Centaurea carpatica and other taxons; in his honour are named two other species, Festuca porcii Hack. and Saussurea porcii Degen. Being in contact with other researchers on the flora and vegetation of the Carpathians and other parts of Romania, his botanical work was recognised and highly appreciated. From 1857 Florian Porcius was a member of the Transylvanian Society for Natural Sciences in Sibiu. As an active member of the Romanian Academy of Science from 1882, he had an important role in the creation of the Romanian terminology of plants, the phyto- geographical approach to research and also the liberal species concept in Romania. Florian Porcius was one of the first Romanian botanists with extensive international relations, cultivated through exchanges of plants and scientific correspondence between botanists as well as cooperation with many other foreign collaborators. His plant collection includes not only material from Transylvania, but also important material of the European flora. Through his comprehensive, accurate and profound botanical work and his leading scientific role in the second half of the 19th century, Florian Porcius can be considered to be one of the classic figures in Romanian Biology.

  • Contributions to the Knowledge of the Bats' Fauna in the Rodna Mountains National Park Iuşan Claudiu
    Contributions to the knowledge of the bats' fauna in the Rodna Mountains National Park Iuşan Claudiu Abstract During the period 2004-2017, 20 species of bats were identified in the Rodna Mountains National Park through direct observations from the cave visits and the use of monitoring using mixed bat detectors (heterodines with frequency division and expansion time) and chicropterological nets placed in forest and aquatic habitats. Of the 20 species of bats in the Rodna Mountains, one is included in the category of vulnerable species (VU), 3 species in the moderate threat category (NT). The inventory of bats species bas increased from 14 to 20 species through research carried out with the support of the Rodna Mountains National Park Administration, but the number of species in the Rodna massif may increase in future studies. Keywords: lilieci, peşteri, protejat, inventar lntroduction The bats study was carried out during the period 2004-2017 in Rodna Mountains National Park, the second national park in the country, with an area of 47.202 ha. The importance of this protected area is due both to the geology and geomorphology of the mountains and to the presence of many species of fauna and flora, endemites and glacial relics. The Rodna Mountains, which show the highest altitudes in the Eastem Carpathians (Pietrosu Peak - 2.303 m, Inău Peak 2.279 m, Inăuţ Peak 2.222 m), are located in the northem part of Romania. Being included in the Nordic group, also known as the Carpathians of Maramureş and Bucovina, these mountains dominate the landscape, with the highest levei differences in the Maramureş Depression, located to the north.

  • Report on Beetles (Coleoptera) Collected from the Dartington Hall Estate, 2013 by Dr Martin Luff
    Report on beetles (Coleoptera) collected from the Dartington Hall Estate, 2013 by Dr Martin Luff. 1. Introduction This year has been a particularly busy one for my work on the beetles of the Estate. I recorded numbers of species on 11 separate dates from April (at the end of the cold spring) through to mid- November. The generally warm and dry summer enabled me to record much more by sweeping herbaceous vegetation around field margins, especially in Hill Park. At the end of May I was assisted by an old friend of mine, and former fellow student, Dr Colin Welch (RCW), who is an authority on the Staphylinidae (rove beetles). I was also provided with the contents of the nest boxes from Dartington Hills in February and September, thanks to Will Wallis and Mike Newby. Finally Mary Bartlett again encouraged me to examine the fauna of her compost heap in November. 2. Results A total of 201 beetle species from 35 families were recorded. This is considerably more than in any previous year that I have collected at Dartington. Of these, 85 species were not recorded in my earlier lists (Luff, 2010-12). The overall number of species that I have recorded from the Estate is now 369, which is almost 10% of the entire British beetle fauna. The bird nest boxes yielded 13 species, with over half being new to the Estate, despite having examined the boxes in previous years; the contents of the boxes were also rather different between spring and autumn, with only four species common to both.

(Hemiptera, Pentatomidae) in the Republic of Moldova Dina Elisovetcaia1*, Valeriu Derjanschi1, Irina Agas'eva 2, and Mariya Nefedova2 1Institute of Zoology, Republic of Moldova, Chisinau 2All-Russian Research Institute of Biological Plant Protection, Russia, Krasnodar-39, 350039 Abstract. The impact of insect artificial diet on the egg production of females was examined for L29 consequently generations of laboratory populations Perillus bioculatus (F.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae, Asopinae). Particular attention is paid to the overwintered generation, which plays a key role in the rehabilitation of the predator populations after hibernation. It was shown that with an increase in the number of laboratory generations of a predator (from L13 to L29), egg production of P. bioculatus females significantly decreases – from 16.4-35.7 to 15.0-27.5 eggs / female in terms of the total number of females in the laboratory populations. The proportion of eggs laid by females of winter generation was the lowest when feeding on Galleria mellonella larvae. Was established food preferences among the assortment of native for Republic of Moldova leaf beetles: Entomoscelis adonidis Pallas 1771, Chrysolina herbacea (Duftschmid, 1825) and C. coerulans (Scriba, 1791). P. bioculatus imago overwintered generation refused to feed on E. suturalis larvae and imago, probably because of the isoquinoline alkalods contained in the hemolymph of the leaf beetle. Studies have shown that supplementary feeding with imago of E.

    Graellsia, 53: 111-175 (1997) DESCRIPCIÓN DE NUEVAS ESPECIES ANIMALES DE LA PENÍNSULA IBÉRICA E ISLAS BALEARES (1978-1994): TENDENCIAS TAXONÓMICAS Y LISTADO SISTEMÁTICO M. Esteban (*) y B. Sanchiz (*) RESUMEN Durante el periodo 1978-1994 se han descrito cerca de 2.000 especies animales nue- vas para la ciencia en territorio ibérico-balear. Se presenta como apéndice un listado completo de las especies (1978-1993), ordenadas taxonómicamente, así como de sus referencias bibliográficas. Como tendencias generales en este proceso de inventario de la biodiversidad se aprecia un incremento moderado y sostenido en el número de taxones descritos, junto a una cada vez mayor contribución de los autores españoles. Es cada vez mayor el número de especies publicadas en revistas que aparecen en el Science Citation Index, así como el uso del idioma inglés. La mayoría de los phyla, clases u órdenes mues- tran gran variación en la cantidad de especies descritas cada año, dado el pequeño núme- ro absoluto de publicaciones. Los insectos son claramente el colectivo más estudiado, pero se aprecia una disminución en su importancia relativa, asociada al incremento de estudios en grupos poco conocidos como los nematodos. Palabras clave: Biodiversidad; Taxonomía; Península Ibérica; España; Portugal; Baleares. ABSTRACT Description of new animal species from the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands (1978-1994): Taxonomic trends and systematic list During the period 1978-1994 about 2.000 new animal species have been described in the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands.

Many Flea Beetles are among the most affective jumpers in the animal kingdom, sometimes better than their namesakes the true Fleas (Siphonaptera). However, despite some intensive study of the anatomy and function of the metafemoral spring (Barth, 1954; Ker, 1977) the true function of this jumping mechanism remains a mystery. It probably is some sort of voluntary Catch, in- volving build-up of tension from the large muscles that insert on the metafemoral spring (Fig. 1), and theo a quick release of this energy. Ofcourse some Flea Beetles jump better than others, but basically all have this internal metafemoral spring floating by attachment from large muscles in the relatively enlarged bind femoral capsule (see Fig. 1 ). In fact Flea Beetles can usually be easily separated from other beetles, including chrysomelid subfa- milies, by their greatly swollen bind femora. There are a few genera of Alticinae that have a metafemoral spring and yet do not jump. Actually there are a few genera that are considered to be Alticinae that lack the metafemo- ral spring, e. g. Orthaltica (Scherer, 1974, 1981b - as discussed in this Symposium). Also the tribe Decarthrocerini contains three genera from Africa that Wilcox (1965) con- sidered as Galerucinae, but now thinks to be intermediate between Galerucinae and Alti- cinae; at least one of these genera does have a metafemoral spring (Wilcox, personal communication, and Fürth, unpublished data).
