  • The Contribution of Pollination Interactions to the Assemblage of Dry Grassland Communities SSD: BIO03

Bruno Pavoni Supervisore prof. Gabriella Buffa Dottorando Edy Fantinato Matricola 818312 Contents Abstract Introduction and study framework Chapter 1. Does flowering synchrony contribute to the sustainment of dry grassland biodiversity? Chapter 2. New insights into plants coexistence in species-rich communities: the pollination interaction perspective Chapter 3. The resilience of pollination interactions: importance of temporal phases Chapter 4. Co-occurring grassland communities: the functional role of exclusive and shared species in the pollination network organization Chapter 5. Are food-deceptive orchid species really functionally specialized for pollinators? Chapter 6. Altitudinal patterns of floral morphologies in dry calcareous grasslands Conclusions and further research perspectives Appendix S1_Chapter 2 Appendix ESM1_Chapter 3 1 Abstract Temperate semi-natural dry grasslands are known for the high biodiversity they host. Several studies attempted to pinpoint principles to explain the assembly rules of local communities and disentangle the coexistence mechanisms that ensure the persistence of a high species richness. In this study we examined the influence of pollination interactions on the assemblage of dry grassland communities and in the maintenance of the biodiversity they host. The issue has been addressed from many different perspectives. We found that similarly to habitat filtering and interspecific interactions for abiotic resources, in dry grassland communities interactions for pollination contribute to influence plant species assemblage. We found entomophilous species flowering synchrony to be a key characteristic, which may favour the long lasting maintenance of rare species populations within the community.

  • 1 Palaeoecological Evidence for the Vera Hypothesis?
    1 Palaeoecological evidence for the Vera hypothesis? Prepared by: Paul Buckland – School of Conservation Sciences, Bournemouth University Assisted by: Philip Buckland, Dept. of Archaeology & Sami Studies, University of Umeå Damian Hughes – ECUS, University of Sheffield 1.1 Summary Frans Vera has produced a model of the mid-Holocene woodland as a dynamic system driven by herbivore grazing pressure, in a mosaic cycle of high forest, die-back to open pasture, with regeneration taking place along the margins of clearings in areas protected from heavy grazing by spinose and unpalatable shrubs. This has attracted much interest, not least because it offers support for current moves towards a hands-off approach to nature conservation and the employment of ‘natural grazers’. The model is here examined in the light of the palaeoecological record for the Holocene and previous Late Quaternary interglacials. Previous reviews have largely dealt with the data available from pollen diagrams, whilst this report concentrates upon the fossil beetle (Coleoptera) evidence, utilising the extensive database of Quaternary insect records, BUGS. The insect record is much less complete than the pollen one, but there are clear indications of open ground taxa being present in the ‘Atlantic forest’. The extent of open ground and dung faunas during the neolithic suggests that many of these elements were already present (although not necessarily abundant) in the natural landscape before agriculturalists began extensive clearance during the late sixth millennium BP. In the palynological literature there is something of a dichotomy between those working in the uplands and lowlands, with the former being more inclined to credit mesolithic hunter/gatherers with deliberate modification of the forest cover, usually utilising fire, sometimes leading to the creation of heath.

Diversity and abundance are the key components that are beneficial for the present and future researchers to control many problems being faced by harmful insects and to promote beneficial insect population for ecosystem sustainability. Therefore, the present study was designed to find out the “Diversity and abundance of foliage insect communities in Bitter gourd field” under the ecological conditions of District Faisalabad. After completing the whole research trials as per methodology, total 211 specimens were collected belonging to 9 orders, 38 families, 63 genera and 73 species in morning and total 213 specimens were collected belonging to 8 orders, 42 families, 58 genera and 65 species in evening.

    Zoologica Scripta The phylogeny and limits of Elateridae (Insecta, Coleoptera): is there a common tendency of click beetles to soft-bodiedness and neoteny? ROBIN KUNDRATA &LADISLAV BOCAK Submitted: 22 October 2010 Kundrata, R. & Bocak, L. (2011). The phylogeny and limits of Elateridae (Insecta, Cole- Accepted: 1 March 2011 optera): is there a common tendency of click beetles to soft-bodiedness and neoteny? — doi:10.1111/j.1463-6409.2011.00476.x Zoologica Scripta, 40, 364–378. Phylogenetic relationships in Elateroidea were investigated using partial 18S and 28S rDNA and rrnl and cox1 mtDNA sequences with special interest in the phylogeny of Elateridae and the position of soft-bodied lineages Drilidae and Omalisidae that had been classified as families in the cantharoid lineage of Elateroidea until recently. Females in these groups are neotenic and almost completely larviform (Drilidae) or brachypterous (Omalisidae). The newly sequenced individuals of Elateridae, Drilidae, Omalisidae and Eucnemidae were merged with previously published datasets and analysed matrices include either 155 taxa with the complete representation of fragments or 210 taxa when some frag- ments were missing. The main feature of inferred phylogenetic trees was the monophyly of Phengodidae + Rhagophthalmidae + Omalisidae + Elateridae + Drilidae with Omalisidae regularly occupying a basal node in the group; Drilidae were embedded as a terminal lineage in the elaterid subfamily Agrypninae and soft-bodied Cebrioninae were a part of Elaterinae. The soft-bodied males and incompletely metamorphosed females originated at least three times within the wider Elateridae clade. Their atypical morphology has been considered as a result of long evolutionary history and they were given an inappropriately high rank in the previous classifications.
