Schaminée & L. Santini (2015). BioScore 2 – Plants & Mammals. Background and pre-processing of distribution data. Statutory Research Tasks Unit for Nature & the Environment (WOT Natuur & Milieu), WOt-technical report 50. 221 p; several Figs; several Tabs; 14 Refs; 10 annexes. This report highlights the background and pre-processing of the distribution of plant species, habitats and mammal species. For plants a selection of about 900 taxa has been made, based on 45 Annex I habitat types, which represent a substantial part of European natural and semi-natural vegetation. For animals all species existing in Europe have been taken into account. The data covers more or less all EU28 countries and is pre-processed in three steps to feed the BioScore 2 model. In the first step for each species or habitat type a climate/soil model has been created by using Boosted Regression Models (GBM). On the basis of these models presence/absence maps are derived to define the distribution range of the species/habitat types. In the second step additional knowledge was brought in to further specify the potential habitat within the distribution range, by laying an explicit mask over it, selecting only those land use types (land cover classes) suitable for the occurrence of the habitat type or species. In the third step the effect of human-induced pressures on habitat quality and species occurrence/abundance within the suitable habitats in the calculated distribution ranges was taken into account. The dose-effect relations were calculated on the basis of Generalized Linear Models (GLM). All outcomes of the three steps have been further used by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL) to set up the BioScore 2 model.

Referaat Hennekens, S.M., J.M. Hendriks, W.A. Ozinga, J.H.J. Schaminée & L. Santini (2015). BioScore 2 – Planten & Zoogdieren. Achtergronden en voorbewerking van verspreidingsgegevens. Wettelijke Onderzoekstaken Natuur & Milieu. WOt-technical report 50. 221 blz.; div. figs.; div. tabs.; 14 refs.; 10 bijlagen. Dit rapport belicht de achtergrond en voorbewerking van de verspreidingsgegevens van planten, habitats en zoogdieren. Voor planten is een selectie van ongeveer 900 taxa gemaakt op basis van 45 Annex I habitattypen, waarvoor de taxa min of meer typerend zijn. Voor de zoogdieren zijn alle in Europa voorkomende soorten in de analyse betrokken. De gegevens omvatten een groot deel van Europa en zijn in drie stappen bewerkt om uiteindelijk als basis te dienen voor het BioScore 2-model. In de eerste stap is voor iedere soort en habitattype een klimaat/bodem-model opgesteld met behulp van zogenaamde Boosted Regression Models (GBM). Op basis van deze modellen zijn presentie/absentie-kaarten opgesteld die de potentiële verspreiding van de soorten/habitattypen weergeeft. In de tweede stap is aanvullende kennis ingebracht om het potentiële habitat verder te preciseren. Dit is gedaan door een overlap te maken met de CLC-kaart (Corine Land Cover), nadat habitattypen en soorten aan specifieke landgebruiksklassen waren gekoppeld. Vervolgens zijn in de derde stap, binnen de potentiële verspreiding van de soorten en habitats, positieve en negatieve waarnemingen geselecteerd om dosis-effectrelaties op te stellen voor een aantal drukfactoren (o.a. stikstof- en zwaveldepositie, verdroging, fragmentatie). The dosis-effectrelaties zijn berekend op basis van zogenaamde Generalized Linear Models (GLM). De uitkomsten van alle drie de stappen zijn verder gebruikt door het Planbureau voor de Leefomgeving (PBL) om het BioScore 2-model op te stellen. Trefwoorden: BioScore 2, Planten, Zoogdieren.

F-0031 UK vs 1.1 (2015) Project WOT-04-011.036.62 WOt-technical report 50 – December 2015 Preface In 2009 the BioScore biodiversity impact assessment tool was developed as part of a research project funded by EC DG Research and Technological Development FP6. The project was coordinated by the European Centre for Nature Conservation (ECNC) and implemented by a consortium of nine partners. The Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL), together with Alterra Wageningen UR, was in charge of the technical development of the BioScore database and web tool. At the time of delivery it was recognized that BioScore was a first version and that there was much room for improvement. Since then PBL has been actively using the BioScore tool for a number of Europe-wide scenario studies. Currently PBL is further developing BioScore 1.0 into BioScore 2.0 so that it can be used for the Netherlands Nature Assessment (Nature Outlook) 2016. The Nature Outlook is produced every four years. It provides a perspective of nature and policy options for the next 30-40 years. Until now these assessments were restricted to the Netherlands. As national nature policy is increasingly decided at EU level, the Dutch government requested PBL to expand the study area to cover the whole EU28. However, PBL is politically independent as guaranteed by Dutch law. The Nature Outlook therefore offers an independent view, which may differ from Dutch national policy. PBL initiated and financed BioScore 2.0, which it develops together with some old and new partners. This consortium enables PBL to deliver a new version of BioScore, which will be tested in 2015 and 2016 and applied in the Nature Outlook project. Information on species distribution and sensitivity to various environmental pressures was brought together and moulded into an improved model concept together with the following partners: • European Bird Census Council / Henk Sierdsema, Sovon (NL); • Butterfly Conservation Europe / Chris van Swaay, Vlinderstichting, (NL); • European Vegetation Survey / Stephan Hennekens & Joop Schaminée, Alterra Wageningen UR, (NL); • European Mammal Society / Carlo Rondinini, Sapienza University Rome, (It).

In this study two phylogenies are reconstructed using parsimony and Bayesian methods. A family-level phylogeny was estimated to test the monophyly and time of divergence of the South African lineage. This analysis, based on a published ITS phylogeny and an additional ten South African taxa, showed a strongly supported South African clade sister to the campanuloids.

  • Towards Resolving Lamiales Relationships
    Schäferhoff et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2010, 10:352 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/10/352 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Towards resolving Lamiales relationships: insights from rapidly evolving chloroplast sequences Bastian Schäferhoff1*, Andreas Fleischmann2, Eberhard Fischer3, Dirk C Albach4, Thomas Borsch5, Günther Heubl2, Kai F Müller1 Abstract Background: In the large angiosperm order Lamiales, a diverse array of highly specialized life strategies such as carnivory, parasitism, epiphytism, and desiccation tolerance occur, and some lineages possess drastically accelerated DNA substitutional rates or miniaturized genomes. However, understanding the evolution of these phenomena in the order, and clarifying borders of and relationships among lamialean families, has been hindered by largely unresolved trees in the past. Results: Our analysis of the rapidly evolving trnK/matK, trnL-F and rps16 chloroplast regions enabled us to infer more precise phylogenetic hypotheses for the Lamiales. Relationships among the nine first-branching families in the Lamiales tree are now resolved with very strong support. Subsequent to Plocospermataceae, a clade consisting of Carlemanniaceae plus Oleaceae branches, followed by Tetrachondraceae and a newly inferred clade composed of Gesneriaceae plus Calceolariaceae, which is also supported by morphological characters. Plantaginaceae (incl. Gratioleae) and Scrophulariaceae are well separated in the backbone grade; Lamiaceae and Verbenaceae appear in distant clades, while the recently described Linderniaceae are confirmed to be monophyletic and in an isolated position. Conclusions: Confidence about deep nodes of the Lamiales tree is an important step towards understanding the evolutionary diversification of a major clade of flowering plants. The degree of resolution obtained here now provides a first opportunity to discuss the evolution of morphological and biochemical traits in Lamiales.

  • Cataleg Biodiversitat Albufera Mallorca 1998
    Edita: Conselleria de Medi Ambient Direcció General de Biodiversitat Dibuix de la coberta: Joan Miquel Bennàssar Impressió: Gràfiques Son Espanyolet Diposit Legal: PM 1992-2002 Pròleg Aquesta obra que teniu a les mans és el producte d’un llarg procés de recerca i d’investiga- ció. És el resultat de més de 12 anys de treballs que han duit a terme els científics del grup s‘Albufera-IBG i molts d‘altres experts i aficionats que han aportat l’esforç i els coneixe- ments per completar aquesta visió global de la biodiversitat de s‘Albufera de Mallorca. Un cos de coneixements que s’ha anat formant pas a pas, com és característic de tot procés cien- tífic. La Conselleria de Medi Ambient és ben conscient que la conservació del patrimoni natural no es pot fer sense els estudis que ens han de permetre conèixer quins són els recursos sota la nostra responsabilitat i quin valor tenen. De cada vegada el gran públic coneix més quines són les espècies amenaçades i les accions per conservar-les troben ressò en els mitjans de comunicació i en la sensibilitat de la socie- tat en general. Però cal demanar-se: estam fent tot allò que és necessari per garantir la con- servació del patrimoni natural per a les generacions pròximes? Són suficients els coneixe- ments actuals d’aquest patrimoni? Quines espècies o quines poblacions són les més valuo- ses? Aquest llibre ajudarà a respondre algunes d‘aquestes preguntes. És un compromís entre la visió del científic, que sempre desitja aprofundir en l’estudi, i els gestors, que demanen amb urgència unes eines adequades per planificar les accions de conservació i avaluar-les.

Once on the intercity express, we settled down to a comfortable journey, through the Swiss countryside, towards the Alps. We passed Lake Zurich and the Walensee, meeting the Rhine as it flows into Liectenstein, and then changed to the UNESCO World Heritage Albula railway at Chur. Dramatic scenery and many loops, tunnels and bridges followed, as we made our way through the Alps. After passing through the long Preda tunnel, we entered a sunny Engadine and made a third change, at Samedan, for the short ride to Pontresina. We transferred to the hotel by minibus and met the remaining two members of our group, before enjoying a lovely evening meal. After a brief talk about the plans for the week, we retired to bed. Day 2 Monday 9th July After a 20-minute walk from the hotel, we caught the 9.06am train at Surovas. We had a scenic introduction to the geography of the region, as we travelled south along the length of Val Bernina, crossing the watershed beside Lago Bianco and alighting at Alp Grum.

  • Hans Walter Lack & Thomas Raus Hildemar Scholz
    Fl. Medit. 22: 233-244 doi: 10.7320/FlMedit22.233 Version of Record published online on 28 December 2012 Hans Walter Lack & Thomas Raus Hildemar Scholz (1928 – 2012) Hildemar Scholz, aged 84, passed away on 5 June 2012 as a consequence of a bad fall he had suffered at home a few weeks earlier. He was a world authority on grasses, the adventive flora of Europe, and rust fungi from central Europe. From 1964 until his retire- ment in 1993 he was a member of staff of the Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem, rising from scientific collaborator to one of the directors at this institution. Hildemar was a born plant-collector active all over Europe, in North and West Africa with a special interest in grasses and the rust fungi parasitizing them. Born on 27 May 1928 in Berlin into a family of protestant clergymen Hildemar Scholz remained both in language and manners very much a Berliner, in the true and best sense of the word, and never ever considered leaving his home town, even during the many diffi- cult years this city encountered in the last century. Having belatedly finished his school training because of the Second World War in 1947, he tried to get enrolled at Berlin University, subsequently renamed Humboldt University, in the Soviet sector of the city, but was rejected – probably because his father was a clergyman. Hildemar had more success at the newly founded Free University in the American sector of Berlin, where he got admit- ted in 1949 and chose biology as his subject.

  • Paolo Romagnoli & Bruno Foggi Vascular Flora of the Upper
    Paolo Romagnoli & Bruno Foggi Vascular Flora of the upper Sestaione Valley (NW-Tuscany, Italy) Abstract Romagnoli, P. & Foggi B.: Vascular Flora of the upper Sestaione Valley (NW-Tuscany, Italy). — Fl. Medit. 15: 225-305. 2005. — ISSN 1120-4052. The vascular flora of the Upper Sestaione valley is here examined. The check-list reported con- sists of 580 species, from which 8 must be excluded (excludendae) and 27 considered doubtful. The checked flora totals 545 species: 99 of these were not found during our researches and can- not be confirmed. The actual flora consists of 446 species, 61 of these are new records for the Upper Sestaione Valley. The biological spectrum shows a clear dominance of hemicryptophytes (67.26 %) and geophytes (14.13 %); the growth form spectrum reveals the occurrence of 368 herbs, 53 woody species and 22 pteridophytes. From phytogeographical analysis it appears there is a significant prevalence of elements of the Boreal subkingdom (258 species), including the Orohypsophyle element (103 species). However the "linkage groups" between the Boreal subkingdom and Tethyan subkingdom are well represented (113 species). Endemics are very important from the phyto-geographical point of view: Festuca riccerii, exclusive to the Tuscan- Emilian Apennine and Murbeckiella zanonii exclusive of the Northern Apennine; Saxifraga aspera subsp. etrusca and Globularia incanescens are endemic to the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine and Apuan Alps whilst Festuca violacea subsp. puccinellii is endemic to the north- ern Apennines and Apuan Alps. The Apennine endemics total 11 species. A clear relationship with the Alpine area is evident from 13 Alpine-Apennine species. The Tuscan-Emilian Apennine marks the southern distribution limit of several alpine and northern-central European entities.
