Through forestry research, cooperation with the States and private forest owners, and management of the National Forests and National Grasslands, it strives—as directed by Congress—to provide increasingly greater service to a growing Nation.

  • Plant Galls and Evolution (II): Natural Selection, DNA, and Intelligent Design
    1 Back to Internet Library Wolf-Ekkehard Lönnig 10 and 21 August 2020 (Minor corrections 22 August 2020) Plant Galls and Evolution (II): Natural Selection, DNA, and Intelligent Design Or: The proof that complex structures of thousands of species have been formed for the exclusive good of other species thus annihilating Darwin’s theory If it could be proved that any part of the structure of any one species had been formed for the exclusive good of another species, it would annihilate my theory for such could not have been produced through natural selection. Charles Darwin 1859, p. 201 Galls have not received the attention they deserve. They are often seen as quaint oddities rather than as indicators of interesting happenings in the world of plants and their biotic interactions. Marion O. Harris and Andrea Pitzschke 2020, p. 1854 Plant galls belong to the widespread biological phenomena “that have not been seriously addressed to date from an evo-devo perspective. …Plant galls have very seldom been considered as products of developmental processes, something they seriously deserve.” However, the hypothesis that these processes “are adaptive, as a result of selection, is hard to apply”. Alessandro Minelli 2018, p. 339 and 2017, p. 102 Even those strongly skeptical about teleological interpretations cannot contest the fact that plant galls are constructions promoting a parasite thus benefiting a foreign organism, devices which already by this support are detrimental to the host plant. Ernst Küster 1917, p. 5671 But how are we to understand the appearance of entirely new formations that are completely absent from normal host plants? How did the plants achieve potentials for totally new structures [exclusively] serving other beings? [Co-option can explain only a portion of the facts – W.-E.

  • Ecological Impact of the Insects That Are Harmful to the Oak Forests of the Doamnei River Upper Drainage Basin
    Available online at http://journals.usamvcluj.ro/index.php/promediu ProEnvironment ProEnvironment 11 (2018) 37 - 40 Original Article Ecological Impact of the Insects That Are Harmful to the Oak Forests of the Doamnei River Upper Drainage Basin RETEVOI Gheorghe Romeo* University of Sciences, Piteşti, Târgul din vale St., No. 1, 110040, Piteşti, Romania Received 14 January 2018; received and revised form 29 January 2018; accepted 18 February 2018 Available online 30 March 2018 Abstract This article presents the effects of harmful insects on the oak forests of the Doamnei river upper drainage basin. The impact of pest insects corroborated with anthropic and climatic factors, as well as with fungal attacks (Microsphaera alphitoides) have negative effects on the oak forest and can cause the alteration of the specific structure. Andricus foecundatrix, Andricus kollari, Andricus quercuscalicis, Neuroterus numismali. Tischeria complanella have attacked the oak forest particularly on its edge. Keywords: Andricus foecundatrix, Andricus kollari, Andricus quercuscalicis, Neuroterus numismalis, Tischeria complanella. 1. Introduction The research regarding harmful insects was conducted in the hills of the Pietroşani commune (Arges County – the forest range of Domnești) in 2016. The clusters of oak species are surrounded by beech trees.In the sample area of approximately 10 ha the following species of gall wasps were identified: Andricus foecundatrix, Andricus kollari, Andricus quercuscalicis, Neuroterus numismalis, as well as the leaf-mining moth Tischeria complanella. Andricus foecundatrix is a gall wasp that prefers species of young Q. robur on which they form galls Figure 1. Andricus kollari similar to the shape of an artichoke [1, 7]. Andricus kollari (Fig.

  • Spatial and Temporal Dynamics in the Development of Invading Cynipid Communities in Britain
    Spatial and temporal dynamics in the development of invading cynipid communities in Britain Tracey Begg Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2007 ii Declaration This thesis has been composed by me and is the result of my own work. It contains no work done in collaboration except where stated otherwise. The text does not exceed 100,000 words. No part of this thesis has been submitted to any other University in application for a higher degree. Tracey Begg – November 2007 iii Abstract The British Isles have been invaded by 12 alien cynipid gallwasps over the past 150 years. The first 4 of these species have been studied in depth and represent a model system in phytophagous insect community structure. In this thesis, I extend this research programme to incorporate 8 further invaders. I examine recent changes in the distribution of invading oak gallwasps in Britain and spatial patterns in the composition of the associated communities of phytophagous cynipid inquilines and parasitoids. I use fully quantitative webs to assess the diversity and strength of trophic interactions between native and invading species and assess the potential for apparent competition between gallwasps mediated by shared natural enemies. Of the first 4 invaders to be studied, 3 have expanded their range since 1991/2. Three of these 4 species are now well established in Scotland, while Andricus corruptrix remains confined to England. Four new invaders (A. aries, A. lucidus, A. grossulariae, Aphelonyx cerricola) are established in southern England and are spreading. Rates of range expansion vary across species (between means of 3.3 and 24.4 km per year), and may be correlated with variation in lifecycles and abundance.
