Nella biblioteca del Museo Correr di Venezia, all’interno del Fondo Cicogna, è custodito un erbario con exsiccata che riveste un particolare interesse dal punto di vista della storia della botanica sistematica poiché è costituito da materiale didattico legato alle lezioni del prof. Giovanni Marsili (1727-1795), direttore dell’Orto botanico di Padova dal 1760 al 1794. Summary. About an educational herbarium of the second half of the eighteenth century, preserved in the library of Museum Correr in Venice. In the library of the Museum Correr of Venice within the Cicogna Fund is preserved a herbarium, with exsiccata, having particular interest as to the history of systematic botany. This is due to the presence of educational material related to the lessons of prof. Giovanni Marsili (1717- 1795), the director of the Botanical Garden of Padua from 1760 to 1794.

Significant catches of T. hirta were recorded in Dryanovo, Karnobat, Knezha, Kyustendil, Petrich and Plovdiv. As a whole the beetles appeared in the very end of March – beginning of April and reached their peak flight in the second half of April – beginning of May; catches were recorded up to the middle of July.

Esta nueva especie se adscribe al subgénero Epicometis Burmeister, 1842 por presentar los principales caracteres diagnósticos del mismo: pronoto sin áreas lisas y la 5ª interestría no fuertemente elevada a modo de costilla ni bifurcada en la base. Se definen los rasgos diagnósti- cos de T. iec sp. n. y se discuten los caracteres diferenciales respecto a las demás especies de Epicometis. La especie morfológicamente más afín a T. iec sp. n. es Tropinota (Epicometis) hirta (Poda von Neuhaus, 1761), de la que se segrega principalmente por el brillo del tegumento, la densidad de la pilosidad corporal, el punteado del pronoto y élitros, la longitud de los tarsos y el punteado de la placa mesosternal, así como por la estructura del edeago, con los parámeros marcadamente ensanchados en la región apical en la primera. De igual forma, se señalan las principales diferencias morfológicas entre la nueva especie y las otros dos taxones específicos del género presentes en el norte de África: T.

They are often described as flower pest (“Rose chafers, flower beetles”), and are thought not to be significant as fruit pests. However, during the last ten years some serious damage to fruit has been observed. Since this damage occurs when the fruits are ripening, insecticides cannot be used. There are no literature data about the amount of the damage or how to monitor the damage. This paper describes our monitoring of the population dynamics of the Cetonia aurata and Potosia cuprea, and the method for calculating the damage to fruit suitable for the orchards in this area.

  • Additions to the Checklist of Wisconsin
    66 THE GREAT LAKES ENTOMOLOGIST Vol. 47, Nos. 1 - 2 Additions to the Checklist of Wisconsin Ground Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae), Including the Adventive Harpalus rubripes (Duftschmid) Among Seven New State Records Peter W. Messer1 Abstract Sixteen species are added to the checklist of Wisconsin Geadephaga. Of these, seven species are reported here as new to Wisconsin. Nine taxa from the list are affected by new information resulting in the removal of six names. The Eurasian beetle Harpalus rubripes was discovered as early as 2009 on annu- ally surveyed beaches along Lake Michigan in southeastern Wisconsin. This discovery greatly extends the species distribution westward from its presence in northeastern North America where it was first recorded in 1981. ____________________ There appears no end to the current accelerated pace of published faunal records and regional checklists. The vast majority of such endeavors are based arbitrarily on political geographic units rather than on well-defined natural systems. The scientific and esthetic allure of the ground beetles has contrib- uted greatly to the surge in publications (e.g., Erwin 2007, 2011; Erwin and Pearson 2008) on Western Hemisphere Caraboidea, the catalogue of North American Geadephaga (Bousquet 2012), and the concerted effort among users of BugGuide.net to supplement the latter catalogue by archiving new records at http://bugguide.net/node/view/744417. Bousquet (2012) updated all 2678 valid North American Geadephaga species-group taxa along with consolidating everything known about their geographic-political distributions. The present contribution adheres to Bous- quet’s nomenclature, classification, and phylogenetic order of the tribes. The relevant hierarchal classification descends according to order Coleoptera: suborder Adephaga: superfamily Caraboidea = Geadephaga: families Trachy- pachidae, Rhysodidae, and Carabidae.

  • The Contribution of Pollination Interactions to the Assemblage of Dry Grassland Communities SSD: BIO03
    Corso di Dottorato di ricerca in Scienze Ambientali ciclo 30 Tesi di Ricerca The contribution of pollination interactions to the assemblage of dry grassland communities SSD: BIO03 Coordinatore del Dottorato ch. prof. Bruno Pavoni Supervisore prof. Gabriella Buffa Dottorando Edy Fantinato Matricola 818312 Contents Abstract Introduction and study framework Chapter 1. Does flowering synchrony contribute to the sustainment of dry grassland biodiversity? Chapter 2. New insights into plants coexistence in species-rich communities: the pollination interaction perspective Chapter 3. The resilience of pollination interactions: importance of temporal phases Chapter 4. Co-occurring grassland communities: the functional role of exclusive and shared species in the pollination network organization Chapter 5. Are food-deceptive orchid species really functionally specialized for pollinators? Chapter 6. Altitudinal patterns of floral morphologies in dry calcareous grasslands Conclusions and further research perspectives Appendix S1_Chapter 2 Appendix ESM1_Chapter 3 1 Abstract Temperate semi-natural dry grasslands are known for the high biodiversity they host. Several studies attempted to pinpoint principles to explain the assembly rules of local communities and disentangle the coexistence mechanisms that ensure the persistence of a high species richness. In this study we examined the influence of pollination interactions on the assemblage of dry grassland communities and in the maintenance of the biodiversity they host. The issue has been addressed from many different perspectives. We found that similarly to habitat filtering and interspecific interactions for abiotic resources, in dry grassland communities interactions for pollination contribute to influence plant species assemblage. We found entomophilous species flowering synchrony to be a key characteristic, which may favour the long lasting maintenance of rare species populations within the community.

Most studies on ecological networks consider only a single interaction type (e.g. competitive, predatory or mutualistic), and try to develop rules for system stability based exclusively on properties of this interaction type. However, the stability of ecological networks may be more dependent on the way different interaction types are combined in real communities. To address this issue, we start by compiling an ecological network in the Don˜ana Biological Reserve, southern Spain, with 390 species and 798 mutualistic and antagonistic interactions. We characterize network structure by looking at how mutualistic and antagonistic interactions are combined across all plant species. Both the ratio of mutualistic to antagonistic interactions per plant, and the number of basic modules with an antagonistic and a mutualistic interaction are very heterogeneous across plant species, with a few plant species showing very high values for these parameters.
