Zootaxa,Phylogeny and Higher Classification of the Scale Insects

The neococcoids form a mono- phyletic group supported by both morphological and genetic data. In contrast, the monophyly of the archaeococcoids is uncertain and the higher level ranks within it have been controversial, particularly since the late Professor Jan Koteja introduced his multi-family classification for scale insects in 1974. Recent phylogenetic studies using molecular and morphological data support the recognition of up to 15 extant families of archaeococcoids, including 11 families for the former Margarodidae sensu lato, vindicating Koteja’s views. Archaeococcoids are represented better in the fossil record than neococcoids, and have an adequate record through the Tertiary and Cretaceous but almost no putative coccoid fos- sils are known from earlier. -

ZooKeys 565: 1–28. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.565.6877 Abstract In the last decades, several expeditions were organized in Europe by the researchers of the Hungarian Natural History Museum to collect snails, aquatic insects and soil animals (mites, springtails, nematodes, and earthworms). In this study, scale insect (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha) specimens extracted from Hun- garian Natural History Museum soil samples (2970 samples in total), all of which were collected using soil and litter sampling devices, and extracted by Berlese funnel, were examined. From these samples, 43 scale insect species (Acanthococcidae 4, Coccidae 2, Micrococcidae 1, Ortheziidae 7, Pseudococcidae 21, Putoidae 1 and Rhizoecidae 7) were found in 16 European countries. In addition, a new species belong- ing to the family Pseudococcidae, Brevennia larvalis Kaydan, sp. -

THE EFFECT OF OLD WORLD CLIMBING FERN (LYGODIUM MICROPHYLLUM (CAV.) R. BROWN) ON SOUTH FLORIDA CYPRESS (TAXODIUM DISTICHUM (L.) RICH.) SWAMP PLANT AND INSECT COMMUNITY STRUCTURE By DANIEL WAYNE CLARK A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2002 Copyright 2002 by Daniel Wayne Clark This thesis is respectfully dedicated to my grandparents, Richard and Elizabeth McKenna and Charles and Agnes Clark for their years of selfless love and unwavering support. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Dr. Randall Stocker, who chaired my graduate supervisory committee, directed my research program, and provided me with personal guidance and friendship throughout my graduate program. He was truly a mentor and continues to impress me with his ability to adapt publicly to any audience and end up being the focal individual for relevant information, professionalism and leadership. These people skills combined with his academic expertise continue to make him sought after at local, national and international levels professionally. Dr. Alison Fox served as an Agronomy Department representative to my supervisory committee. She provided much needed technical support, critical review and focus during the scholastic, research and writing phases of my project. I also thank her for her personal friendship and professional guidance. She selflessly made time for unscheduled meetings and was always available for consultation. Her energetic and personable nature facilitated numerous stimulating discussions and empowered me to increase my own scientific and critical thought. Dr. Katie Sieving, an external representative of my committee from the Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Department, imparted to me the sheer fun of being academic. -

Sand pit for Biodiversity at Cep II quarry Researcher: Klára Řehounková Research group: Petr Bogusch, David Boukal, Milan Boukal, Lukáš Čížek, František Grycz, Petr Hesoun, Kamila Lencová, Anna Lepšová, Jan Máca, Pavel Marhoul, Klára Řehounková, Jiří Řehounek, Lenka Schmidtmayerová, Robert Tropek Březen – září 2012 Abstract We compared the effect of restoration status (technical reclamation, spontaneous succession, disturbed succession) on the communities of vascular plants and assemblages of arthropods in CEP II sand pit (T řebo ňsko region, SW part of the Czech Republic) to evaluate their biodiversity and conservation potential. We also studied the experimental restoration of psammophytic grasslands to compare the impact of two near-natural restoration methods (spontaneous and assisted succession) to establishment of target species. The sand pit comprises stages of 2 to 30 years since site abandonment with moisture gradient from wet to dry habitats. In all studied groups, i.e. vascular pants and arthropods, open spontaneously revegetated sites continuously disturbed by intensive recreation activities hosted the largest proportion of target and endangered species which occurred less in the more closed spontaneously revegetated sites and which were nearly absent in technically reclaimed sites. Out results provide clear evidence that the mosaics of spontaneously established forests habitats and open sand habitats are the most valuable stands from the conservation point of view. It has been documented that no expensive technical reclamations are needed to restore post-mining sites which can serve as secondary habitats for many endangered and declining species. The experimental restoration of rare and endangered plant communities seems to be efficient and promising method for a future large-scale restoration projects in abandoned sand pits. -

HOMOPTERA:COCCOIDEA) TÜRLERİ VE DOĞAL DÜŞMANLARI İLE ZARARLI PHENACOCCUS Aceris (SİGNORET)’İN BİYO-EKOLOJİSİ ÜZERİNDE ARAŞTIRMALAR

GİRİŞ Şehirlerdeki yeşil alanlar havadaki zehirli atıkların doğal filtresi olarak görev yapmalarının yanı sıra yaşama alanlarımızın güzel görünümü açısından da son derece önemlidir. Bu yüzden özellikle son yıllarda şehirlerde yeşillendirme çalışmaları artış göstermektedir. Şehir ekosistemlerinde süs bitkilerinin üretimi ve kullanımı, özellikle kuzey yarım kürede genel bir artış göstermekte ve gelişmiş ülkelerde şehirlerde kişi başına düşen yeşil alanın yedi m2 olması istenmektedir. Dünyadaki bu gelişmelere paralel olarak Ankara’da da yeşillendirme çalışmalarına büyük önem verilmektedir. Ankara’da kişi başına düşen yeşil alan miktarı 6.5 m2 civarındadır (Bozkurt 1992). Şehir ekosistemlerinde en büyük sorun, çevre kirliliğine ilaveten düzensiz ve bilinçsiz ilaçlamalardan dolayı doğal dengenin bozulması ve bu dengenin önemli halkalarından biri olan faydalı faunanın yok olması veya çok azalması nedeni ile zararlı fauna popülasyonunun artmasıdır. Coccoidea üst familyasının da içerisinde bulunduğu emici böceklerde bu durum daha da önemli bir boyut kazanmaktadır (Kozerveskaya, 1986). Özellikle süs bitkilerinin şehir ekosistemlerinde fizyolojik stres altında olmaları ve yeşil aksamlarının hava kirliliğinden dolayı yüksek miktarda kimyasal maddeye maruz kalmalarından dolayı coccoid enfeksiyonlarının artışına neden olmaktadır. Bu nedenle ormanlar gibi dengenin çok fazla bozulmadığı alanlarda bulunan ve nadiren ekonomik olarak önemli olan bu türler, şehir ekosistemlerinde önemli zararlılar olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Aynı sorunlar çok yoğun ve sistematik ilaçlamanın yapıldığı seralarda da görülmektedir. Artan zararlı popülasyonu nedeni ile bu tip zararlıların vermiş oldukları zararlar artmakta, ekonomik kayıplara neden olmaktadır. -

Large grazing herbivores drive the ecology of the site and can have a profound impact on invertebrates, both positive and negative. This survey was commissioned in order to assess the site’s invertebrate assemblage in a standardised and repeatable way both internally between fields and sections and temporally between years.
