Facultade de Bioloxía Campus As Lagoas-Marcosende Universidade de Vigo E-36310 Vigo (Spain) Abstract—Species of Pluteus reported from the Iberian Peninsula (Spain, Portugal) and Balearic Islands (Spain) are listed, with data on their distribution, ecology and phenology. For each taxon a list of all collections examined and a map of its distribution is given. According to our revision 33 taxa of Pluteus occur in the area. Key words—Pluteaceae, biodiversity Introduction Pluteus Fr. is the type genus of the family Pluteaceae Kotl. & Pouzar (Agaricales, Basidiomycota). Its main characteristics are the pluteoid basidiomes (i.e. free lamellae; context of pileus and stipe discontinuous), pink spores and inverse lamellae trama. It comprises about 300 species (Kirk et al. 2001) and is distributed in all continents except Antarctica (Singer 1986). Monographic studies in the genus had been carried out in Europe (Kühner & Romagnesi 1956, Orton 1986, Vellinga 1990) North America (Smith & Stunz 1958, Homola 1972, Banerjee & Sundberg 1995) and South America (Singer 1958, 1961). A worldwide monographic approach was published by Singer (1956). In the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) and Balearic Islands (Spain) the records of Pluteus are often included in general checklists. Prior to our study the only monographic paper on this genus was an article by Muñoz- Sánchez (1991), dealing with species of section Pluteus, mainly based on collections from the Basque Country (northern Spain). Regional studies on Pluteus within the Iberian Peninsula have been published in recent years, as part of the Flora Mycologica Iberica project (Justo & Castro 2004; Justo et al.

For each taxon a list of all collections examined and a map of its distribution is given. According to our revision 12 taxa of Volvariella occur in the area. Key words — Agaricales, Agaricomycetes, Basidiomycota, biodiverstity, Pluteaceae Introduction Volvariella Speg. is a genus traditionally classified in the family Pluteaceae Kotl. & Pouzar (Agaricales, Basidiomycota), but recent molecular research has challenged its monophyly and taxonomic position within the Agaricales (Moncalvo et al. 2002, Matheny et al. 2006). Its main characteristics are the pluteoid basidiomes (i.e. free lamellae; context of pileus and stipe discontinuous), universal veil present in mature specimens as a saccate volva at stipe base, brownish-pink spores in mass and mainly the inverse lamellar trama. It comprises about 50 species (Kirk et al. 2008) and is widely distributed around the world (Singer 1986). Monographic studies of the genus have been mostly carried out in Europe (Kühner & Romagnesi 1956, Orton 1974, 1986; Boekhout 1990) North America (Shaffer 1957) and Africa (Heinemann 1975, Pegler 1977). In the Iberian Peninsula (Spain, Portugal) and Balearic Islands (Spain) the records of Volvariella are scattered, as they are often included in general checklists and prior to our study the only taxonomic paper on this genus, in this area, was an article by Vila et al.

Few birds were seen in the early stages of the journey as we sped along the good motorways. Once we had turned off onto minor roads for the final leg of the journey we began to see a few raptors and shrikes. We stopped at a suitable pull in for a light lunch and to acclimatise to the hot dry conditions. Moving on, we were soon climbing towards the hilltop town of Castelo Rodrigo with its ruined castle on the summit. Our hotel was located within the old town just below the castle, where we were soon allocated rooms for our stay. Day 2 Thursday 23rd July Today we headed north to explore the Douro valley. En route we stopped at a roadside viewpoint which was opposite some cliffs where a small colony of Griffon Vultures breed. A couple of birds were seen below us settled on the grassy slopes, and there were a few ‘flyby’ individuals.

Identification key, host plants and distributional data are given in this paper. KEYWORDS: Aleyrodidae, Aleuroviggianus, New record, Quercus, Iran The plant genus Quercus (Fagales: Fagaceae), commonly known as oaks, comprises species which are deciduous or evergreen trees or shrubs. There is not any literature about the exact number of Quercus species, but probably 500 species exist in different regions of the world (Weeda et al, 1985). Oaks have a mainly Holarctic distribution but in the Old World they extend from Europe to the Atlas Mountains of North Africa, and in the mountains of Asia they can be found as high as 3000 m above sea level (Camus 1939).

  • Extensive Iberian Pig Production Grazing Systems
    Extensive Iberian pig production grazing systems Benito J. 1 , Albarrán A. 1 and García Casco J. M. 2 1Escuela de Ingenierías Agrarias, Universidad de Extremadura, Carretera de Cáceres sin, 06071 Badajoz, Spain. 2Asociación Española de Criadores de Cerdo Ibérico, CI San Francisco 51 1° D, 06300 Zafra (Badajoz), Spain. Abstract The Iberian native pig breed from the south west of the Iberian Peninsula is characterized by its full use of the natural meadowland resources of pastures and acorns. Its evolution has developed to make full adaptation to an extensive management system under unfavourable climatic conditions. Feeding in the late fattening phase, a long productive cycle under extensive management (with slaughter at over 15 months old), and the lipid characteristics of its meat have combined to enable the production of a high quality meat, especially for cured meat products: hams, fillet and shoulder of pork. The Iberian pig is a unique animal of the dehesa that has capacity for the transformation of feed to high value fat and muscle. The objective valuation of this quality and its consequences for commercial transactions between breeders and meat processors, and the application of a specific quality designation for these meat products, are two of the main challenges for this breed and its fundamental link with meadowland. At present, the Iberian pig is the most important agrarían production of the dehesa and it is exceptional in having recently shown increased prices for producers at a time when the profitability of cattle and sheep production has fallen. Key words: montanera, quality, dehesa, meat regulation, fat. Origin and distribution In many respects the Iberian pig breed can be regarded as probably the most successful of the native pigs whose breeding is restricted to particular geographic areas, not only in terms of the size of its population, but al so for commercial or economic reasons.
