Bioblitz Cumulative Species Report 2011 & 2012, with 2013 edits In collaboration with the University Museum of Zoology and conservation partners across Cambridge, the Botanic Garden has held Bioblitz events in 2011 and 2012, during which experts and the visiting public have joined forces to discover, identify and record species resident or passing through. The Botanic Garden is a habitat actively managed for wildlife and this Bioblitz species list, though not absolutely comprehensive, gives the clearest picture we have of the species present in the Garden at mid-summer (Bioblitz 2011 was held in July, Bioblitz 2012 in June). The plants included in this list are those that have introduced themselves or self-seeded, rather than those that have been deliberately cultivated under the Garden’s collections policy. New species recorded in 2012 are highlighted. Additional identifications of molluscs observed at the Garden were made by Chris du Feu in December 2013, in orange.

The knowledge of dispersal evolution, motivation, its effect on metapopulation dynamics and species distribution at multiple scales is poorly understood and many questions remain unsolved or require empirical verification. In this thesis we contribute to the knowledge of dispersal, by studying both ecological and evolutionary aspects of spider dispersal in fragmented grey dunes. Studies were performed at the individual, population and assemblage level and indicate that behavioural traits narrowly linked to dispersal, con- siderably show [adaptive] variation in function of habitat quality and geometry. Dispersal also determines spider distribution patterns and metapopulation dynamics. Consequently, our results stress the need to integrate knowledge on behavioural ecology within the study of ecological landscapes. / Promotor: Prof. Dr. Eckhart Kuijken [Ghent University & Institute of Nature Dries Bonte Conservation] Co-promotor: Prf.

Number Target Note (see map) 1 G1 (pond), F2.1 (Marginal vegetation) & A2 (Willow scrub) Pond. At the time of the survey the pond was dry. Invaded with New Zealand pygmy weed (Crassula helmsii) to the south and greater reed mace (Typha latifolia) to the North with a stand of common reed (Phragmites australis) to the East there was little open water. Small patches of reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) to the east and west banks. Coppiced willow (Salix sp.) to the Northern end. Previous management of the pond has resulted in the presence of water lilies (Nyphaea alba). Also present are water plantain (Alisma plantago-aquatica), celery-leaved buttercup (Ranunculus scleratus), soft rush (Juncus effusus), hard rush (Juncus inflexus), and galingale (Cyperus longus). In 2009 the pond was completely dredged and a large area of open water formed. This has slowly silted up again and become overrun with the bulrush (Typha latifolia) and the Crassula that appeared this year (2018).

    A Summary List of Fossil Spiders

A summary list of fossil spiders. In Platnick, N. I. (ed.) The world spider catalog, version 10.5. American Museum of Natural History, online at http://research.amnh.org/entomology/spiders/catalog/index.html Last udated: 10.12.2009 INTRODUCTION Fossil spiders have not been fully cataloged since Bonnet’s Bibliographia Araneorum and are not included in the current Catalog. Since Bonnet’s time there has been considerable progress in our understanding of the spider fossil record and numerous new taxa have been described. As part of a larger project to catalog the diversity of fossil arachnids and their relatives, our aim here is to offer a summary list of the known fossil spiders in their current systematic position; as a first step towards the eventual goal of combining fossil and Recent data within a single arachnological resource. To integrate our data as smoothly as possible with standards used for living spiders, our list follows the names and sequence of families adopted in the Catalog. For this reason some of the family groupings proposed in Wunderlich’s (2004, 2008) monographs of amber and copal spiders are not reflected here, and we encourage the reader to consult these studies for details and alternative opinions. Extinct families have been inserted in the position which we hope best reflects their probable affinities. Genus and species names were compiled from established lists and cross-referenced against the primary literature.

Salticids use their vision in many behaviors, including predation and courtship. Recently evidence of their ability to sense airborne vibrations, i.e. sound, was published. I used a specialized jumping-spider-specific eyetracker to study the visual reaction of the retinas of the jumping spider Phidippus princeps when exposed to the sound of a predator. I used a generic wasp sound, previously shown to induce a startle response, as stimulus and played it from different directions. The spiders showed strong reactions to the sound stimulus by large increases in retinal movement when exposed to the stimulus, and they showed no habituation to the stimulus over three rounds of exposure. However, I found no indication that the direction of retinal movement corresponded to the location of the sound source.

Bunun için farklı böcek takımlarına ait türler laboratuvarda kültüre alınarak parazitoit olarak yaşayan Tachinidae türleri elde edilmiştir. Kültüre alınan Lepidoptera takımına ait türler içerisinden, Euproctis chrysorrhoea (L.), Lymantria dispar (L.), Malacosoma neustrium (L.), Smyra dentinosa Freyer, Thaumetopoea solitaria Freyer, Thaumetopoea sp. ve Vanessa sp.,'den parazitoit elde edilmiş,

    Noctuid Moth (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) Communities in Urban Parks of Warsaw

    POLISH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES • INSTITUTE OF ZOOLOGY MEMORABILIA ZOOLOGICA MEMORABILIA ZOOL. 42 125-148 1986 GRAŻYNA WINIARSKA NOCTUID MOTH (LEPIDOPTERA, NOCTUIDAE) COMMUNITIES IN URBAN PARKS OF WARSAW ABSTRACT A total of 40 noctuid moth species were recorded in four parks of Warsaw. Respective moth communities consisted of a similar number of species (17—25), but differed in their abundance index (3.5 —7.9). In all the parks, the dominant species were Autographa gamma and Discrestra trifolii. The subdominant species were represented by Acronicta psi, Trachea atriplicis, Mamestra suasa, Mythimna pallens, and Catocala nupta. There were differences in the species composition and dominance structure among noctuid moth communities in urban parks, suburban linden- oak-hornbeam forest, and natural linden-oak-hornbeam forest. In the suburban and natural linden-oak-hornbeam forests, the number of species was higher by 40% and their abundance wao 5 — 9 times higher than in the urban parks. The species predominating in parks occurred in very low numbers in suburban and natural habitats. Only T. atriplicis belonged to the group of most abundant species in all the habitats under study. INTRODUCTION In recent years, the interest of ecologists in urban habitats has been increasing as they proved to be rich in plant and animal species. The vegetation of urban green areas is sufficiently well known since its species composition and spatial structure are shaped by gardening treatment. But the fauna of these areas is poorly known, and regular zoological investigations in urban green areas were started not so long ago, when urban green was recognized as one of the most important factors of the urban “natural” habitat (Ciborowski 1976).
