  • Integrated Pest Management for Raspberry Beetle

    Integrated Pest Management for Raspberry Beetle

    Integrated Pest Management for Raspberry Beetle Order: Coleoptera Family: Byturidae Species: Byturus unicolor The raspberry beetle, also known as the raspberry fruitworm, is a product contaminant pest found in raspberry fields in Washington. The larvae, or fruitworm, may fall off with the fruit during machine harvest. This pest has often been controlled by a diazinon treatment at 5% bloom, before pollinators are brought into the field. The United States Environmental Protection Agency is seeking to reduce the use of organophosphates, such as diazinon, through higher restrictions and cancellations. New monitoring tools for the raspberry beetle have been developed and tested in Whatcom County. The Rebell® Bianco white sticky trap can be used to detect raspberry beetle levels in a field. This may help in determining what treatment, if any, is Figure 1: Adult raspberry required for control of the pest. beetle on a raspberry bud Biology: The adult raspberry beetle is between 0.15 and 0.2” in length, a reddish brown color with short hairs covering its whole body (see figure 1). Overwintering in the soil, the adult emerges in the spring between mid-April and mid-May depending on soil temperatures. The adults feed on leaves, often on the new primocane leaves, but in areas of high populations they will also feed on upper floricane leaves. Adults are then attracted to flower buds and blooms where mating and, subsequently, ovipositing occurs. Larvae (or fruitworm) emerge from the eggs on the flower or immature fruit and begin feeding on the receptacle. The larvae are between 0.1” and 0.25” in length depending on the time of season.

    Lenzie Moss Excursion 2015

    Excursion to Lenzie Moss LNR, Saturday 9th May 2015 George Paterson Over 10 members attended the excursion to this fine example of a lowland raised bog. Although dry and sunny later on, the time of year and lowish temperatures meant that flying insects were scarce. As we passed through some unimproved grassland towards the main area of bog we saw one of the many dams put in place by SNH in an attempt to keep the bog from drying out. There was also evidence of birch removal carried out by the Friends of Lenzie Moss and Mugdock Ranger volunteers for the same reason. Large red damselfly Pyrrhosoma nymphula were seen zipping in amongst the bog cotton Eriophorum angustifolium as we headed towards the centre of the bog via a raised bank separating many of the sections where peat had been extracted commercially in the past. This was done via a narrow gauge railway, remains of which are still present. Dr. Richard Tipping from Stirling Dam to keep water level high University, with the help of his peat core borer and some burly GNHS members, extracted samples of peat from the past 2000 years or so. Light and dark bandings highlighting wet and dry periods in the bog's history. Richard also talked about the influence man may have had through farming practices. There was some discussion as to the extent of the effect the Romans may Dr Richard Tipping pointing out have had – Lenzie being close layers in the peat core to the Antonine Wall. Swifts and swallows flew overhead and meadow pipits and skylarks were also heard and seen.

    Well-Known Plants in Each Angiosperm Order

    Well-known plants in each angiosperm order This list is generally from least evolved (most ancient) to most evolved (most modern). (I’m not sure if this applies for Eudicots; I’m listing them in the same order as APG II.) The first few plants are mostly primitive pond and aquarium plants. Next is Illicium (anise tree) from Austrobaileyales, then the magnoliids (Canellales thru Piperales), then monocots (Acorales through Zingiberales), and finally eudicots (Buxales through Dipsacales). The plants before the eudicots in this list are considered basal angiosperms. This list focuses only on angiosperms and does not look at earlier plants such as mosses, ferns, and conifers.

  • A Checklist of Lichens Collected During the First Howard Crum Bryological Workshop, Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area

    A Checklist of Lichens Collected During the First Howard Crum Bryological Workshop, Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area

    Opuscula Philolichenum, 2: 1-10. 2005. Contributions to the Lichen Flora of Pennsylvania: A Checklist of Lichens Collected During the First Howard Crum Bryological Workshop, Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area RICHARD C. HARRIS1 & JAMES C. LENDEMER2 ABSTRACT. – A checklist of 209 species of lichens and lichenicolous fungi collected during the First Howard Crum Bryological Workshop in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, Pennsylvania, USA is provided. The new species Opegrapha bicolor R.C. Harris & Lendemer, collected during the Foray, is described. Chrysothrix flavovirens Tønsberg and Merismatium peregrinum (Flotow) Triebel are reported as new to North America. On April 23-26, 2004, we were graciously allowed to be commensals during the First Howard Crum Bryological Workshop in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, Pennsylvania, USA. Given the dearth of knowledge of lichen distributions in Pennsylvania and the overall lack of recent vouchers, this was a valuable opportunity to collect in what turned out to be a rich and interesting area. We were quite surprised by the apparent high lichen diversity, as well as the number of novelties and rarities, in an area so close to the East Coast megalopolis. In four half-days in the field, we collected 209 species in a limited area of the Pennsylvania part of the Park. Some are clearly new to science of which, Opegrapha bicolor is described here (see Endnote). Two presumably undescribed species of Fellhanera will be published elsewhere, and the Halecania will be included in a forthcoming treatment of Ozark lichens. Others are left for the future, as present material (and our knowledge) are inadequate.

A total of 1272 two-winged species that belong to 58 families has been reported from theVitosha Mt. The Tachinidae (208 species or 16.3%) and Cecidomyiidae (138 species or 10.8%) are the most numerous. The greatest number of species has been found in the mesophylic and xeromesophylic mixed forests belt (707 species or 55.6%) and in the northern part of the mountain (645 species or 50.7%). The established species belong to 83 areographical categories. The dipterous fauna can be divided into two main groups: 1) species with Mediterranean type of distribution (53 species or 4.2%) – more thermophilic and distributed mainly in the southern parts of the Palaearctic; seven species of southern type, distributed in the Palaearctic and beyond it, can be formally related to this group as well; 2) species with Palaearctic and Eurosiberian type of distribution (1219 species or 95.8%) – more cold-resistant and widely distributed in the Palaearctic; 247 species of northern type, distributed in the Palaearctic and beyond it, can be formally related to this group as well. The endemic species are 15 (1.2%). The distribution of the species according to the zoogeographical categories in the vegetation belts and the distribution of the zoogeographical categories in each belt are considered. The dipteran fauna of the Vitosha Mt. is compared to this of the Rila and Pirin Mountains.

Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science 126(2):129–152 LICHENS AND ALLIED FUNGI OF THE INDIANA FOREST ALLIANCE ECOBLITZ AREA, BROWN AND MONROE COUNTIES, INDIANA INCORPORATED INTO A REVISED CHECKLIST FOR THE STATE OF INDIANA James C. Lendemer: Institute of Systematic Botany, The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, NY 10458-5126 USA ABSTRACT. Based upon voucher collections, 108 lichen species are reported from the Indiana Forest Alliance Ecoblitz area, a 900 acre unit in Morgan-Monroe and Yellowwood State Forests, Brown and Monroe Counties, Indiana. The lichen biota of the study area was characterized as: i) dominated by species with green coccoid photobionts (80% of taxa); ii) comprised of 49% species that reproduce primarily with lichenized diaspores vs. 44% that reproduce primarily through sexual ascospores; iii) comprised of 65% crustose taxa, 29% foliose taxa, and 6% fruticose taxa; iv) one wherein many species are rare (e.g., 55% of species were collected fewer than three times) and fruticose lichens other than Cladonia were entirely absent; and v) one wherein cyanolichens were poorly represented, comprising only three species. Taxonomic diversity ranged from 21 to 56 species per site, with the lowest diversity sites concentrated in riparian corridors and the highest diversity sites on ridges. Low Gap Nature Preserve, located within the study area, was found to have comparable species richness to areas outside the nature preserve, although many species rare in the study area were found only outside preserve boundaries. Sets of rare species are delimited and discussed, as are observations as to the overall low abundance of lichens on corticolous substrates and the presence of many unhealthy foliose lichens on mature tree boles.

These include the uplands of the Clees, Stiperstones and Long Mynd with their associated heath land, forested land such as the Forest of Wyre and the Mortimer Forest, the lowland bogs and meres in the north of the county, and agricultural land scattered with small woodlands and copses. This diversity makes Shropshire unique. The Shropshire Fungus Group has been in existence for 18 years. (Inaugural meeting 6th December 1992. The aim was to produce a fungus flora for the county. This aim has not yet been realised for a number of reasons, chief amongst these are manpower and cost. The group has however collected many records by trawling the archives, contributions from interested individuals/groups, and by field meetings. It is these records that are published here. The first Shropshire checklist was published in 1997. Many more records have now been added and nearly 40,000 of these have now been added to the national British Mycological Society’s database, the Fungus Record Database for Britain and Ireland (FRDBI). During this ten year period molecular biology, i.e. DNA analysis has been applied to fungal classification.
