This was with a view to provide information on grass species serving as carbon sink and to assess their contribution to carbon stock in the terrestrial ecosystem. Four 15 m x 15 m sampling plots were established in each of the grass species sites; the plant samples were harvested by randomly placing ten 1m x 1m quadrats. The harvested plants were divided into above and below ground biomass. Floor litters (residue) samples were also collected. Ten soil samples were randomly collected from ten points in each plot at a depth of 0-20 cm, air-dried and analyzed for carbon content. Bulk density was also determined in each plot. The harvested plants were oven dried at 70°C to a constant weight, weighed, ground and analyzed for organic carbon content. There were significant differences (p < 0.05) in the dry matter production, carbon concentration and carbon stock across the three grass species. Panicum maximum had the highest dry matter production and carbon stock in the above and below ground biomass. It also had the highest carbon concentration in below ground biomass. The results concluded that grasslands can serve as a terrestrial carbon sink and their contribution varied across the studied grass species. Keywords: Biomass, carbon stock, floor litters, Panicum maximum, sequestration, soil carbon. Introduction Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and long-term storage of atmospheric carbon dioxide (Roger & Brent, 2012). Carbon sequestration describes long-term storage of carbon dioxide or other forms of carbon to either mitigate or defer global warming and avoid dangerous climate change (Holden, 2008). It has been proposed as a way to slow the atmospheric and Received 12 February 2015 Reviewed 28 May 2015 Accepted 15 September 2015 Published 15 October 2016 2 Odiwe et al. marine accumulation of greenhouse gases, which are released by burning fossil fuels (Holden, 2008). Carbon dioxide is naturally captured from the atmosphere through biological, chemical or physical processes. Some anthropogenic sequestration techniques exploit these natural processes, while some use entirely artificial processes (Roger & Brent, 2012). Terrestrial ecosystems constitute a major carbon sink owing to photosynthesis and storage of carbon dioxide in live and dead organic matter. Due to its numerous ancillary benefits (e.g. improved soil and water quality, restoration of degraded ecosystems, increased crop yield), terrestrial carbon sequestration is often termed as a win–win or no-regrets strategy (Lal et al., 2003). There are three principal components of terrestrial carbon sequestration: forests, soils and wetlands. Forest carbon is sequestered not only in harvestable timber, but also in woody debris, wood products and other woody plants encroaching upon grasslands (Wofsy, 2001). Many debates have taken place on differences in the effectiveness of trees and native grasses in serving as carbon sinks (Piperno, 2006). It has been reported that trees and forest soils

  • The Early Evolution of Biting–Chewing Performance in Hexapoda

    The Early Evolution of Biting–Chewing Performance in Hexapoda

    Chapter 6 The Early Evolution of Biting–Chewing Performance in Hexapoda Alexander Blanke Abstract Insects show a plethora of different mandible shapes. It was advocated that these mandible shapes are mainly a function of different feeding habits. This hypothesis was tested on a larger sampling of non-holometabolan biting–chewing insects with additional tests to understand the interplay of mandible function, feeding guild, and phylogeny. The results show that at the studied systematic level, variation in mandible biting–chewing effectivity is regulated to a large extent by phylogenetic history and the configuration of the mandible joints rather than the food preference of a given taxon. Additionally, lineages with multiple mandibular joints such as primary wingless hexapods show a wider functional space occupation of mandibular effectivity than dicondylic insects (¼ silverfish + winged insects) at significantly different evolutionary rates. The evolution and occupation of a compa- rably narrow functional performance space of dicondylic insects is surprising given the low effectivity values of this food uptake solution. Possible reasons for this relative evolutionary “stasis” are discussed. 6.1 Introduction Insecta sensu lato (¼ Hexapoda) display a high diversity of mouthpart shapes within the early evolved lineages which started to radiate approximately 479 million years ago (Misof et al. 2014). These shape changes were described qualitatively and were often stated to relate mainly to the type of food consumed (Yuasa 1920; Isely 1944; Evans and Forsythe 1985; Chapman and de Boer 1995). To the knowledge of the author, this and related statements regarding mouthpart mechanics being shaped by functional demands have never been tested in a quantitative framework.

Dryopteris costalisora and X2 (unindentified) have the least density. In terms of the overall sum dominance ratio (SOR) Cyathea contaminans is the most dominant, followed in descending order by Pteridium aqui/inum, Pneu­ matopteris nitidula, Dicranopteris spp., Christel/a parasitica, Davallia solida, Angiopteris evecta Dicranopteris linearis, B/echnum spp., Am· phineuron terminans, Araiostegia davalloides, Angiopteris palmiformis, Pneumatopteris glabra and Dipteris cojugata. The non-dominant species are X2 (unindentified), X1 (unindentified), Pteris glaucoverins, and Dryop­ teris costalisora. The identified economic importance of ferns includes the following: used as food. medicine, ornamental plants, materials for stage decorations, raw materials in posts, and poles. Weaving and novelty industries. Follow up study to validate the identity of the encountered species, identify the two unidentified species, and further determine the economic im­ portance of the species is recommended.

Despite their many 1543-592X/08/1201-0387$20.00 shapes and sizes, and the multitude of habitats within which they function, animal weapons share many properties: They evolve when males are able to defend spatially restricted critical resources, they are typically the most variable morphological structures of these species, and this variation hon- estly reflects among-individual differences in body size or quality. What is not clear is how, or why, these weapons diverge in form. The potential for male competition to drive rapid divergence in weapon morphology remains one of the most exciting and understudied topics in sexual selection research today. 3*7 INTRODUCTION Sexual selection is credited with the evolution of nature's most extravagant structures, and these include showy male adornments that are attractive to females (ornaments) and an arsenal of outgrowths that function in male-male combat (weapons) (Darwin 1871).

    The Ferns of the Late Ladinian, Middle Triassic Flora from Monte Agnello, Dolomites, Italy

    The ferns of the late Ladinian, Middle Triassic flora from Monte Agnello, Dolomites, Italy EVELYN KUSTATSCHER, ELIO DELLANTONIO, and JOHANNA H.A. VAN KONIJNENBURG-VAN CITTERT Kustatscher, E., Dellantonio, E., and Van Konijnenburg-van Cittert, J.H.A. 2014. The ferns of the late Ladinian, Middle Triassic flora from Monte Agnello, Dolomites, Italy. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 59 (3): 741–755. Several fern remains are described from the para-autochthonous early late Ladinian flora of the Monte Agnello (Dolo- mites, N-Italy). The plants are preserved in subaerially deposited pyroclastic layers. Some ferns, known already from the Anisian and Ladinian of this area, are confirmed (Neuropteridium elegans), but several taxa are described for the first time (Phlebopteris fiemmensis sp. nov., Cladophlebis ladinica sp. nov., Chiropteris monteagnellii sp. nov.). Cladophle- bis sp. and some indeterminable fern remains cannot yet be assigned to any family. Phlebopteris fiemmensis is now the oldest formally established species in the genus. The fern family Dipteridaceae (Thaumatopteris sp. and some fragments probably belonging to the Dipteridaceae because of their venation) has not been recorded previously from European sediments as old as the Ladinian. Although stratigraphically attributed to the late Ladinian, the flora is markedly distinct from other Ladinian floras of the Dolomites and the Germanic Basin. The flora from Monte Agnello shows a higher di- versity in ferns than coeval floras from this area although characteristic elements of the Ladinian of the Dolomites such as Anomopteris and Gordonopteris are missing. The new flora misses also the Marattiales (e.g., Danaeopsis, Asterotheca) and other elements such as Sphenopteris schoenleiniana, typical for the Ladinian of the Germanic Basin.

Ancient ferns with a rhizome cloaked by a thick mantle of persistent leaf bases and Peronosporomycetes adventitious roots have a high potential for preserving macro-epiphytes and associated micro-organisms, and Mesozoic are especially promising targets for understanding the evolution of biotic interactions in forest understorey Oribatid mites ecosystems.

ZooKeys 1021: 65–79. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.1021.58832 Abstract Cyclommatus scutellaris Möllenkamp, 1912, Cyclommatus elsae Kriesche, 1921 and Cyclommatus tam- daoensis Fujita, 2010 are East Asian stag beetle species with long-debated taxonomic relationships due to high intraspecific morphological variability. In this study, we applied multilocus phylogenetic analyses to reassess their relationships. Two mitochondrial genes (16S rDNA, COI) and two nuclear genes (28S rDNA, Wingless) were used to reconstruct the phylogeny through the Bayesian inference (BI) and Maxi- mum Likelihood (ML) methods. Both topologies supported two clades: the clade C. scutellaris was sister to the clade (C. elsae + C. tamdaoensis) with the subclade C. tamdaoensis embedded in the subclade C. elsae. The Kimura 2-parameter (K2P) genetic distance analysis yielded a low mean value (≤0.035) among the three taxa, which was well below the minimum mean value between other Cyclommatus species (≥0.122).
