BACZEWSKA 1, Wojciech DMUCHOWSKI 1,2 , Dariusz GOZDOWSKI 2 Monika STYCZEK 2 and Paulina BR ĄGOSZEWSKA 1 INFLUENCE OF SALINE STRESS ON THE ABUNDANCE OF LIME APHID ( Eucallipterus tiliae L.) ON THE LEAVES OF STREET TREES - CRIMEAN LINDEN WPŁYW STRESU SOLNEGO NA LICZEBNO ŚĆ MSZYC ( Eucallipterus tiliae L.) NA LI ŚCIACH DRZEW ULICZNYCH TILIA ‘EUCHLORA’ Abstract: This publication presents the influence of soil salinity on the abundance of aphids on the leaves of street trees in cities. The objects of research were trees of Crimean Linden ( Tilia ‘Euchlora ’) planted at Zwirki and Wigury Street in Warsaw. The research included the evaluation of the trees’ condition, the counting of the number of Lime Aphid ( Eucallipterus tiliae L.), as well as the determination of chlorine and nitrogen content in the leaves. The research revealed a statistically significant influence of chlorine content in the leaves on the deterioration of their condition. The increased content of chlorine in the leaves was accompanied by a decrease in the number of aphids. This relationship was statistically significant. No nitrogen deficiency in the leaves was detected. No statistically relevant relationship between the nitrogen content and the condition of the trees was observed. There was a weak negative correlation which, however, was statistically insignificant. Using the regression function it was determined that the increase in chlorine content in leaves by 1% (from 1.0 to 2%) resulted in a decrease in the abundance of aphids by 49%. What is more, a statistically significant (p = 0.032) influence of nitrogen content on the abundance of aphids was proved.

The research was carried out in housing estate and by-the-road sites and the collected arth- ropodswere divided into trophic groupswith respectto their nutrient prefe- rences. The observations were concerned with the extent of presence of phy- tophagsand beneficial arthropodsin urban conditionsdepending on the extent of anthropopressure. From the research results it follows that herbivore arth- ropodswith a piercing-sucking mouth apparatuswere a dominating trophic group settling T. cordata. In both sites Eucallipterus tiliae (L.) wasmostnume- rous. Moreover, in the housing estate site apart from aphids, also the repre- sentatives of Thysanoptera were numerous whereas in the by-the-road site ± Tetranychidae. Among predators in both sites mites of the Phytoseiidae do- minated. The representatives of the Anthocoride family were most numerous in the housing estate site, while the Coccinellidae in the by-the-road site. Introduction Small-leaved lime tree (Tilia cordata Mill.) isone of the mostfrequent tree species in the city of Lublin, both in housing estate greenery as well as street 50 EWA MACKOSÂ greenery. In Poland in natural habitat there are two domestic species ± small- leaved lime (T. cordata) and large-leaved lime (Tilia platyphyllos Scop.).

  • About the Book the Format Acknowledgments
    About the Book For more than ten years I have been working on a book on bryophyte ecology and was joined by Heinjo During, who has been very helpful in critiquing multiple versions of the chapters. But as the book progressed, the field of bryophyte ecology progressed faster. No chapter ever seemed to stay finished, hence the decision to publish online. Furthermore, rather than being a textbook, it is evolving into an encyclopedia that would be at least three volumes. Having reached the age when I could retire whenever I wanted to, I no longer needed be so concerned with the publish or perish paradigm. In keeping with the sharing nature of bryologists, and the need to educate the non-bryologists about the nature and role of bryophytes in the ecosystem, it seemed my personal goals could best be accomplished by publishing online. This has several advantages for me. I can choose the format I want, I can include lots of color images, and I can post chapters or parts of chapters as I complete them and update later if I find it important. Throughout the book I have posed questions. I have even attempt to offer hypotheses for many of these. It is my hope that these questions and hypotheses will inspire students of all ages to attempt to answer these. Some are simple and could even be done by elementary school children. Others are suitable for undergraduate projects. And some will take lifelong work or a large team of researchers around the world. Have fun with them! The Format The decision to publish Bryophyte Ecology as an ebook occurred after I had a publisher, and I am sure I have not thought of all the complexities of publishing as I complete things, rather than in the order of the planned organization.

MV 125w bulb, UV 8+8w tubes and LED (White)15w bulb. The analysis revealed that 31 insect species belonging to 10 orders and 23 families were recorded throughout the season (Rabi 2016-17). These species were grouped in two major categories. Among the harmful crop pest group 22 species collected under 5 orders and 14 families (total collection was 15599 insects). Order Lepidoptera was represented by the highest number of 6 families including 13 species followed by the order Hemiptera. Group of beneficial insects as natural bio control agents represented by 6 orders and 9 families (total collection was 2114 insects). Comparing the relative size of trap catches the highest catch was observed of Dorylus sp. (1492 wasps) among all the order followed by Hydrochara caraboides Latreille (316 beetles). Keywords: Light trap, light source, UV, MV, insect fauna, texanomic distribution Introduction It is well known that insects fly toward streetlight or other outdoor illumination at night.

Mesquite bugs, other insects, and a bat in the diet of pallid bats in southeastern Arizona. PeerJ 6:e6065 https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.6065 Mesquite bugs and other insects in the diet of pallid bats in southeastern Arizona Nicholas J Czaplewski Corresp., 1 , Katrina L Menard 2 , William D Peachey 3 1 Section of Vertebrate Paleontology, Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, Norman, Oklahoma, United States of America 2 Section of Recent Invertebrates, Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, Norman, Oklahoma, United States 3 Sonoran Science Solutions, Tucson, Arizona, United States Corresponding Author: Nicholas J Czaplewski Email address: [email protected] The pallid bat (Antrozous pallidus) is a species of arid and semiarid western North America, inhabiting ecoregions ranging from desert to oak and pine forest. Considered primarily insectivorous predators on large arthropods but taking occasional small vertebrate prey, pallid bats were recently shown to be at least seasonally omnivorous; they demonstrate unusual dietary flexibility and opportunism in certain parts of their geographic range and at different times of year. In a few areas they take nectar from cactus flowers and eat cactus fruit pulp and seeds. Until recently mesquite bugs were primarily tropical- subtropical inhabitants of Mexico and Central America but have since occupied the southwestern United States where mesquite trees occur.
