Alien and Invasive Species of Harmful Insects in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Alien and invasive species of harmful insects in Bosnia and Herzegovina Mirza Dautbašić1,*, Osman Mujezinović1 1 Faculty of Forestry University in Sarajevo, Chair of Forest Protection, Urban Greenery and Wildlife and Hunting. Zagrebačka 20, 71000 Sarajevo * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: An alien species – animal, plant or micro-organism – is one that has been introduced as a result of human activity to an area it could not have reached on its own. In cases where the foreign species expands in its new habitat, causing environmental and economic damage, then it is classified as invasive. The maturity of foreign species in the new area may also be influenced by climate changes. The detrimental effect of alien species is reflected in the reduction of biodiversity as well as plant vitality. A large number of alien species of insects are not harmful to plants in new habitats, but there are also those that cause catastrophic consequences to a significant extent. The aim of this paper is to present an overview of newly discovered species of insects in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The research area, for this work included forest and urban ecosystems in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. For the purposes of this paper, an overview of the species found is provided: /HSWRJORVVXVRFFLGHQWDOLV Heidemann; (Hemiptera: Coreidae) - The western conifer seed bug, found at two sites in Central Bosnia, in 2013 and 2015; $UJHEHUEHULGLVSchrank; (Hymenoptera: Argidae) - The berberis sawfly, recorded in one locality (Central Bosnia), in 2015; -

NEW HAMPSHIRE PLANT GROWERS ASSOCIATION |UNE AND |ULY I 998 w.re have a special name for the trees that come from our farms—^ArcticMist.™ When you order ArcticMist,^^' you are not just buying a tree, but all of the time, attention, and care—from seedling to shipping— that goes into creating a safe, healthy, and beautiful Christmas tree. We plant from seed to achie\ e maximum ciualirs control. All ArcticMistT^^' trees are heavily needled and have dense conical shapes. Their lovely blue color, rich fragrance, and good needle retention make them ideal Christmas trees. Fraser, balsam, white spmce, and pine (white, scotch, and red) are available. In addition, we are introducing fralsam, a fraser-balsam cross. Wreaths are also available. Since our farms are in New Hampshire and Vemiont, we harvest our trees later in the season than many other growers. We also do everything we can to minimize moisnire loss after harvest and during shipping. ^'ou can order the number of trees that is right for \ t)u— from 25 to a trailer load. We can arrange shipping or you may pick up the trees yourself We respect your schedule and guarantee on time delivery. Our trees ani\ e individually wrapped and ready for sale. All you need to do is remove the wrappers and set the trees out—no broken branches, no last minute trimming. T.0 place an order, or to receixe specific information about this year's trees: Call us at 800/694-8722 or 603/237-5702. Send us a fax at 603/237-8439. -

Prioritising the Management of Invasive Non-Native Species
PRIORITISING THE MANAGEMENT OF INVASIVE NON-NATIVE SPECIES Olaf Booy Thesis submitted to the School of Natural and Environmental Sciences in fulfilment for the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Newcastle University October 2019 Abstract Invasive non-native species (INNS) are a global threat to economies and biodiversity. With large numbers of species and limited resources, their management must be carefully prioritised; yet agreed methods to support prioritisation are lacking. Here, methods to support prioritisation based on species impacts, pathways of introduction and management feasibility were developed and tested. Results provide, for the first time, a comprehensive list of INNS in Great Britain (GB) based on the severity of their biodiversity impacts. This revealed that established vertebrates, aquatic species and non-European species caused greater impacts than other groups. These high impact groups increased as a proportion of all non-native species over time; yet overall the proportion of INNS in GB decreased. This was likely the result of lag in the detection of impact, suggesting that GB is suffering from invasion debt. Testing methods for ranking the importance of introduction pathways showed that methods incorporating impact, uncertainty and temporal trend performed better than methods based on counts of all species. Eradicating new and emerging species is one of the most effective management responses; however, practical methods to prioritise species based both on their risk and the feasibility of their eradication are lacking. A novel risk management method was developed and applied in GB and the EU to identify not only priority species for eradication and contingency planning, but also prevention and long term management. -
Monitoring of Four Invasive Non-Native Garden Pests
Monitoring of four invasive non-native garden pests Andrew Salisbury, Ian Waghorn and Andrew Halstead The Entomology section of the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) is collating records of four invasive non-native garden pest insects following their establishment in the UK. Data collection has previously relied on data gathered from RHS members’ enquiries, however in May 2008 internet- based monitoring has been launched.

Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes
Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes Shichao Chen1., Dong-Kap Kim2., Mark W. Chase3, Joo-Hwan Kim4* 1 College of Life Science and Technology, Tongji University, Shanghai, China, 2 Division of Forest Resource Conservation, Korea National Arboretum, Pocheon, Gyeonggi- do, Korea, 3 Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, United Kingdom, 4 Department of Life Science, Gachon University, Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do, Korea Abstract Phylogenetic analysis aims to produce a bifurcating tree, which disregards conflicting signals and displays only those that are present in a large proportion of the data. However, any character (or tree) conflict in a dataset allows the exploration of support for various evolutionary hypotheses. Although data-display network approaches exist, biologists cannot easily and routinely use them to compute rooted phylogenetic networks on real datasets containing hundreds of taxa. Here, we constructed an original neighbour-net for a large dataset of Asparagales to highlight the aspects of the resulting network that will be important for interpreting phylogeny. The analyses were largely conducted with new data collected for the same loci as in previous studies, but from different species accessions and greater sampling in many cases than in published analyses. The network tree summarised the majority data pattern in the characters of plastid sequences before tree building, which largely confirmed the currently recognised phylogenetic relationships. Most conflicting signals are at the base of each group along the Asparagales backbone, which helps us to establish the expectancy and advance our understanding of some difficult taxa relationships and their phylogeny. -
