Last year’s production levels of English sparkling amounted to around 4 million bottles (from a total English wine output of 5.9m), with supply projected to reach 6m this year, and 8m-10m bottles within the next 10 years, based on a large increase in plantations over the past three to five years, with more to come. This will make English fizz a sizeable category for a product that’s hardly cheap. Indeed, to put this in perspective, a 10m-bottle supply would represent more than one third the market for Champagne in the UK, which was 27.7m bottles in 2017. Increased quaity Nevertheless, the producers of English sparkling wine are optimistic, citing the increased quality of the product, particularly the potential brilliance of the 2018 harvest; the strength of the brands in the market – unlike Champagne there is no ‘generic’ or ‘private-label’ business to speak of – With unusually warm and sunny conditions in During a telephone interview with db, he said the growing interest in English fizz from UK the UK throughout June and July, producers are he was a “happy bunny”, noting that the consumers, and, finally, the possibility of a on course to produce what some are calling their conditions this year were so good that he was healthy export business.

([email protected]); (AE) Universidad de Chile, Departamento de Geologı´a, Casilla 13518, Correo 21, Santiago, Chile ([email protected]) ABSTRACT A new Miocene decapod fauna is described from the Navidad Formation of coastal Chile. The fauna includes five callianassoid taxa, none of which is preserved sufficiently to identify to species level. New species include Calappilia? chilensis, Hepatus spinimarginatus, Proterocarcinus navidad, Pilumnus cucaoensis, and Pinnixa navidadensis. A possible rhizopine member of the Pilumnidae Samouelle, 1819, is described. Trichopeltarion levis Casadı´o et al., 2004, previously known from the late Oligocene of western Argentina, was also recovered from these rocks. Calappa circularis Beurlen, from the lower Miocene Pirabas Formation in Brazil, is herein referred to Calappilia. This report greatly increases the known number of fossil decapods from Chile and sets the stage for paleobiogeographic comparison of the decapod faunas of Chile and Argentina. The Neogene rock sequence in Chile is largely confined to M.S. thesis, added Callianassa sp. and a new species of crab about seven basins along the modern Pacific Ocean to the list.

Henrique Luiz Roessler, a tax agent for hunting and fishing as well as a descendant of German immigrants, started repressing the “passarinhada”, a name used either for the hunting of wild birds or a gastronomic ritual. Roessler was sued by the hunters and became the target of a defamatory campaign by Italian immigrants and their descendants, who were the main practitioners of bird hunting.

Timberline occurs at (3700) 3900 m, and at 4750 m vascular plants cease to exist. The alpine vascular flora comprises 237 species from 46 families and 130 genera. Asteraceae (44), Poaceae (42), and Caryophyllaceae (21) possess 45% of the species; none of the remaining families have more than 10 species. Four species are strict endemics, and eight others are near endemics. Thirteen species are restricted to alpine vegetation but also occur outside the study area. Seventy-seven species are endemic to Mexico, 35 of which are endemic to the TMVB. In terms of biogeography, the strongest affinities are with Central or South America. Fifteen species are also native to the Old World. Size of the alpine area seems to not be the determining factor for its floristic diversity. Instead, the time since and extent of the last volcanic activity, in addition to the distance from other alpine islands, appear to be important factors affecting diversity.
