This has, in turn, attracted a wide range of species of fauna and flora. The EU Member States have adopted two key pieces of EU legislation – the Habitats 1 and Birds 2 Directives – to conserve Europe’s most valuable species and habitats across their entire natural range within the EU. A central element of these Nature Directives is the creation of an EU-wide Natura 2000 Network of sites that must be managed and protected to ensure the conservation of the habitats and species of Community interest. But Natura 2000 sites are not strictly protected areas where all activities are systematically excluded. It adopts a different approach: one that fully recognises that humans are an integral part of nature and that the two work best in partnership with one another. Many of the habitats and species that are protected under the Habitats

  • Phylogenetic Reconstruction of the Evolution of Stylar Polymorphisms in Narcissus (Amaryllidaceae)1
    American Journal of Botany 91(7): 1007±1021. 2004. INVITED SPECIAL PAPER PHYLOGENETIC RECONSTRUCTION OF THE EVOLUTION OF STYLAR POLYMORPHISMS IN NARCISSUS (AMARYLLIDACEAE)1 SEAN W. G RAHAM2,4 AND SPENCER C. H. BARRETT3 2UBC Botanical Garden and Centre for Plant Research, 6804 SW Marine Drive, The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6T 1Z4; and 3Department of Botany, University of Toronto, 25 Willcocks Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5S 3B2 We investigated the origin of stylar polymorphisms in Narcissus, which possesses a remarkable range of stylar conditions and diverse types of ¯oral morphology and pollination biology. Reconstruction of evolutionary change was complicated by incomplete resolution of trees inferred from two rapidly evolving chloroplast regions, but we bracketed reconstructions expected on the fully resolved plastid- based tree by considering all possible resolutions of polytomies on the shortest trees. Stigma-height dimorphism likely arose on several occasions in Narcissus and persisted across multiple speciation events. As proposed in published models, this rare type of stylar polymorphism is ancestral to distyly. While there is no evidence in Narcissus that dimorphism preceded tristyly, a rapid transition between them may explain the lack of a phylogenetic footprint for this evolutionary sequence. The single instances of distyly and tristyly in Narcissus albimarginatus and N. triandrus, respectively, are clearly not homologous, an evolutionary convergence unique to Amaryllidaceae. Floral morphology was likely an important trigger for the evolution of stylar polymorphisms: Concentrated-changes tests indicate that a long, narrow ¯oral tube may have been associated with the emergence of stigma-height dimorphism and that this type of tube, in combination with a deep corona, likely promoted, or at least was associated with, the parallel origins of heterostyly.

Проводимая в последние годы работа по исследованию древоточцев (Сossidae) Евразии при- вела к описанию ряда новых таксонов с территории Палеарктики, позволила установить грани- цы распространения многих видов. В данной работе делается попытка представить полный ка- талог древоточцев России, выполненный как на основании анализа литературных данных, так и на большом фактическом материале. Исследованный материал хранится в ряде коллекций Рос- сии, Украины, Германии, Австрии. Приведен аннотированный список видов, включающий дан- ные о первичном описании, синонимии, месте хранения типового материала и распростране- нии. Для редких и малоизвестных видов и для новых таксонов приводятся полные данные эти- кеток. Для каждого вида приведена карта распространения на территории России.

  • Astragalus Centralpinus
    Report under the Article 17 of the Habitats Directive European Environment Period 2007-2012 Agency European Topic Centre on Biological Diversity Astragalus centralpinus Annex II, IV Priority No Species group Vascular plants Regions Alpine, Mediterranean The plant Astragalus centralpinus is a species of milkvetch in the family Fabaceae. It occurs in the Alpine and Mediterranean biogeographical regions. The taxonomy is unclear for the species and its relation to Astragalus alopecurus. This taxon has not yet been assessed for the IUCN Red List, but Astragalus alopecurus is assessed as Data Deficient (DD). The current and previous conservation status in the Mediterranean biogeographical region is 'Unfavourable-Bad'. The country report of France indicates 'Unfavourable-Bad' future prospects and decreasing trend. The conservation status in the Alpine biogeographical region is 'Favourable'; the previous conservation status was 'Unfavourable-Inadequate'. The future prospect is 'Unknown' and the trend is stable. The species is threatened mostly by human habitation, roads, paths and railroads, irrigation and grazing. Changes in overall conservation status between the 2001-06 and 2007-12 reports are mostly due to a different methodological approach and better data rather than a real change in conservation status in the Alpine region. There are no changes in overall conservation status between the 2001-06 and 2007-12 reports in the Mediterranean region. Better data are required from France.

  • 293 – Les Noms Scientifiques Français Des Mollusques Continentaux De
    LES NOMS SCIENTIFIQUES FRANÇAIS DES MOLLUSQUES CONTINENTAUX DE FRANCE : processus d’ÉtABLISSEMENT d’une LISTE DE RÉFÉRENCE Benoît FONTAINE 1, Jean-Michel BICHAIN 2, Xavier CUCHERAT 3, Olivier GAR G OMINY 4 & Vincent PRIÉ 5 SUMMARY. — French scientific names of continental molluscs of France: process for establishing a list of reference. — In the biodiversity crisis context and with the increasing general awareness on this issue, conservation of small and poorly-known species is hampered by the fact they only have latine names. In order to communicate for biodiversity conservation, having French names is an advantage which is lacking in terrestrial and freshwater molluscs from France. To remedy this problem, we propose a list of French scientific names for this group, i.e. all species and subspecies known from France. We have listed existing names in legal documents, in usage and in the 18th and 19th centuries scientific literature. The resulting list being incomplete, we had to create new French names, following a series of recommendations adapted from similar works dealing with other taxonomic groups. We conclude by dealing with the issue of the legitimacy and validity of such names. The list of French scientific names is given as an appendix and is downloadable from internet. RÉSUMÉ. — Dans le contexte de la crise de la biodiversité et de la prise de conscience par le grand public des enjeux environnementaux, la conservation des espèces petites et méconnues est handicapée par le fait que ces espèces ne peuvent être désignées que par leur nom latin. Dans une optique de communication pour la préservation de la biodiversité, disposer de nom français est un atout qui fait défaut pour les mol- lusques terrestres et d’eau douce de France.

Abstract. The biology and larva of Glyphipterix loricatella (Treitschke, 1833) are described for the first time on the basis of material from two localities in Hungary, in the vicinity of Budapest. We reared larvae from Iris × germanica L. (Iridaceae), representing a new hostplant family for Glyphipterix. The larvae develop over a year in the leaves, later in the rhizome, where they spend the winter as mature larvae. The larvae eat themselves out of the rhizome in spring and pupate outside the rhizome in the soil in a cocoon, covered with soil particles. The pupal stage lasts 30–35 days. All developmental stages are illustrated. Introduction The genus Glyphipterix Hübner, 1825 contains globally 283 named species (Beccaloni et al. 2018), of which 62 species occur in the Palaearctic region (Diakonoff 1986). In Europe 19 species and two subspecies have been recorded (Agassiz 2013). The larvae of the European species of the genus feed on plants belonging to diverse families. The majority of hostplants belong to the monocots: Juncaceae three species; Cyperaceae three species and Poaceae one species, but two species feed on the eudicot family Crassulaceae.
