Pollination Ecology Summary
Pollination Ecology Summary Prof. em. Klaus Ammann, Neuchâtel [email protected] June 2013 Ohne den Pollenübertragungs-Service blütenbesuchender Tiere könnten sich viele Blütenpanzen nicht geschlechtlich fortpanzen. Die komplexen und faszinierenden Bestäubungsvorgänge bei Blütenpanzen sind Ausdruck von Jahrmillionen von Selektionsvorgängen, verbunden mit Selbstorganisation der Lebewesen; eine Sicht, die auch Darwin schon unterstützte. Bei vielen zwischenartlichen Beziehungen haben sich zwei oder auch mehrere Arten in ihrer Entwicklung gegenseitig beeinusst. Man spricht hier von sogenannter Coevolution. Deutlich ist die Coevolution auch bei verschiedenen Bestäubungssystemen und -mechanismen, die von symbiontischer bis parasitischer Natur sein können.

Clonal Structure in the Moss, Climacium Americanum Brid
Heredity 64 (1990) 233—238 The Genetical Society of Great Britain Received 25August1989 Clonal structure in the moss, Climacium americanum Brid. Thomas R. Meagher* and * Departmentof Biological Sciences, Rutgers University, P.O. Box 1059, Jonathan Shawt Piscataway, NJ 08855-1059. 1 Department of Biology, Ithaca College, Ithaca, NY 14850. The present study focussed on the moss species, Climacium americanum Brid., which typically grows in the form of mats or clumps of compactly spaced gametophores. In order to determine the clonal structure of these clumps, the distribution of genetic variation was analysed by an electrophoretic survey. Ten individual gametophores from each of ten clumps were sampled in two locations in the Piedmont of North Carolina. These samples were assayed for allelic variation at six electrophoretically distinguishable loci. For each clump, an explicit probability of a monomorphic versus a polymorphic sample was estimated based on allele frequencies in our overall sample. Although allelic variation was detected within clumps at both localities, our statistical results showed that the level of polymorphism within clumps was less than would be expected if genetic variation were distributed at random within the overall population.

Ferns of the National Forests in Alaska
Ferns of the National Forests in Alaska United States Forest Service R10-RG-182 Department of Alaska Region June 2010 Agriculture Ferns abound in Alaska’s two national forests, the Chugach and the Tongass, which are situated on the southcentral and southeastern coast respectively. These forests contain myriad habitats where ferns thrive. Most showy are the ferns occupying the forest floor of temperate rainforest habitats. However, ferns grow in nearly all non-forested habitats such as beach meadows, wet meadows, alpine meadows, high alpine, and talus slopes. The cool, wet climate highly influenced by the Pacific Ocean creates ideal growing conditions for ferns. In the past, ferns had been loosely grouped with other spore-bearing vascular plants, often called “fern allies.” Recent genetic studies reveal surprises about the relationships among ferns and fern allies. First, ferns appear to be closely related to horsetails; in fact these plants are now grouped as ferns. Second, plants commonly called fern allies (club-mosses, spike-mosses and quillworts) are not at all related to the ferns. General relationships among members of the plant kingdom are shown in the diagram below. Ferns & Horsetails Flowering Plants Conifers Club-mosses, Spike-mosses & Quillworts Mosses & Liverworts Thirty of the fifty-four ferns and horsetails known to grow in Alaska’s national forests are described and pictured in this brochure.

Projektowany Rezerwat Przyrody „Olszak” W Górach Opawskich – Ważna Ostoja Entomofauny (Lepidoptera, Neuroptera) KOMUNIKA
Wiad. entomol. 29 Supl.: 111-114 Poznań 2010 KOMUNIKATY NAUKOWE COMMUNICATIONS Projektowany rezerwat przyrody „Olszak” w Górach Opawskich – ważna ostoja entomofauny (Lepidoptera, Neuroptera) A planned nature reserve ”Olszak” in the Opawskie Mountains – an important refuge of entomofauna (Lepidoptera, Neuroptera) Tomasz BLAIK Zakład Zoologii Bezkręgowców, Katedra Biosystematyki, Uniwersytet Opolski, Oleska 22, 45-052 Opole; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Southern slope of Mt. Olszak (453 m) in the Opawskie Mts. (Eastern Sudety Mts., SW Poland) is planned to be protected as an entomological-and-phytocenotic reserve. The main objectives of the protection are acidophilous oak forest and maple-linden slope forest being habitats of many rare species of moths and lacewings known from not numerous localities in Poland. Out of them, the populations of two unique in native lepidopteran fauna, saproxylic and phytosaprophagous species: Alabonia staintoniella (ZELL.) and Zanclognatha zelleralis (WCK.), are preserved here at their northernmost locality in Europe. KEY WORDS: Lepidoptera, Neuroptera, protection, nature reserve, Mt. Olszak, Sudety Mts. Owady Gór Opawskich należą do słabo zbadanych na tle innych obsza- rów górskich Polski. Zainteresowanie entomologów tym niewielkim pa- smem Sudetów Wschodnich wzrosło dopiero w połowie lat 90. zeszłego wie- ku. Obiektem badań były tu wybrane rodziny chrząszczy (Coleoptera) (KUŚ- KA 1998; MAZUR 2008) i szczególnie pluskwiaki różnoskrzydłe (Heteropte- ra) (LIS B., LIS J. A. 2002; HEBDA, LIS 2007), a w ostatnim dziesięcioleciu także motyle (Lepidoptera) i owady siatkoskrzydłe (Neuroptera), będące obecnie w końcowej fazie opracowania (dane własne autora).

And Engelmann Oak (Q. Engelmannii) at the Acorn and Seedling Stage1
Insect-oak Interactions with Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia) and Engelmann Oak (Q. engelmannii) at the Acorn and Seedling Stage1 Connell E. Dunning,2 Timothy D. Paine,3 and Richard A. Redak3 Abstract We determined the impact of insects on both acorns and seedlings of coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia Nee) and Engelmann oak (Quercus engelmannii E. Greene). Our goals were to (1) identify insects feeding on acorns and levels of insect damage, and (2) measure performance and preference of a generalist leaf-feeding insect herbivore, the migratory grasshopper (Melanoplus sanguinipes [Fabricus] Orthoptera: Acrididae), on both species of oak seedlings. Acorn collections and insect emergence traps under mature Q. agrifolia and Q. engelmannii revealed that 62 percent of all ground-collected acorns had some level of insect damage, with Q. engelmannii receiving significantly more damage. However, the amount of insect damage to individual acorns of both species was slight (<20 percent damage per acorn). Curculio occidentis (Casey) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), Cydia latiferreana (Walsingham) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), and Valentinia glandulella Riley (Lepidoptera: Blastobasidae) were found feeding on both species of acorns. No-choice and choice seedling feeding trials were performed to determine grasshopper performance on the two species of oak seedlings. Quercus agrifolia seedlings and leaves received more damage than those of Q. engelmannii and provided a better diet, resulting in higher grasshopper biomass. Introduction The amount of oak habitat in many regions of North America is decreasing due to increased urban and agricultural development (Pavlik and others 1991). In addition, some oak species are exhibiting low natural regeneration. Although the status of Engelmann oak (Quercus engelmannii E. -

Aromatic Plants from Western Balkans: a Potential Source of Bioactive Natural Compounds Source of Bioactive Natural Compounds
Provisional chapter Chapter 2 Aromatic Plants from Western Balkans: A Potential Aromatic Plants from Western Balkans: A Potential Source of Bioactive Natural Compounds Source of Bioactive Natural Compounds Ana M. Džamić and Jelena S. Matejić Ana M. Džamić and Jelena S. Matejić Additional information is available at the end of the chapter Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/67039 Abstract Documentation of traditionally used aromatic and medical plants has been carried out in many European countries over the last several years. Over the last decade, the Western Balkans has become the area of a huge number of ethnobiological field studies. Many of those focused on Balkans ethnobotany are linked to the long and ongoing history of gathering and trading local wild aromatic and medicinal plants from this territory into Western European markets. But only less than a half percent of these have been studied for their chemical composition and medicinal value. The most investigated aromatic spe- cies in this area belongs to the few biggest families: Asteraceae, Apiaceae, Lamiaceae and Rosaceae. Medicinal value of plants lies in some chemical substances that produce physi- ological action on the human body, which leads to positive effect on health. Essential oils are secondary metabolites which are the most examined, as well as various plant extracts. Isolation and identification of the compounds in combination with its biological screening can considerably contribute to plant studies. Also, application of new activities and novel techniques for susceptibility testing provide better knowledge of wild growing medicinal plants as potential sources of biological agents and justified their traditional uses. -
