This paper aims to continue the evaluation of the data contained in a herbarium with hard covers, labeled with the name Theodor Schreiber, representing a part of a larger herbarium which entered in the Botanical Collection of the Ţării Crişurilor Museum in Oradea in 1955 by transfer from the then High School no 4 in Oradea As it is a bound volume, it contains 92 sheets, respectively 187 pages with botanized plants received from different collectors of that time Their collecting is thought to have been performed in the 19th century and their collecting areas, most of them belonging to the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, are today in many European countries, mostly in Austria, but also in Switzerland, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Italy, the Czech Republic, Germany and Romania. After processing the material, we arranged it according to an updated taxonomic classifi cation, specifying the accepted name, and where possible the location, the date and the collector (where mentioned or identifi ed by signature) Thus we present 329 taxa belonging to 143 genera and 34 families, according to the taxonomic classifi cation employed (Systema Naturae 2000- Universal Taxonomic Services – Last updated: 7 Apr 2012). https://biblioteca-digitala.ro 6 Vasile Maxim Danciu & Dorina Golban Introduction This paper attempts to further publish the data and information contained in the herbarium that, together with the one that is bound and hard-covered, pre- sented in the fi rst part (Danciu & Golban, 2013) are part of the larger herbarium labeled with the name Theodor Schreiber (“Szárnövények készítette Schreiber Th. – 1866”). The present one consists of sheets grouped in bundles, still hav- ing the author’s name on their title page, together with a text initially meant to order the grouping of the botanized plants. The herbarium in its entirety (that is the bound, hard-covered herbarium, three boxes of bundles consisting of sheets with botanized plants, and two boxes with pressed plants yet not fi xed on sheets, but labeled) were included in the Botanical Collection of the Ţării Crişurilor Mu- seum in Oradea on December 15, 1955, by transfer from the High School no. 4 in Oradea, the former Gymnasium of the Premonstratensian Order which functioned by the Premonstratensian Monastery of the ”Mother of Sorrows”, today’s ”Mihai Eminescu” National College. This paper refers only to the “larger” herbarium which contains three boxes of 41 bundles, of which we present only 13 that also contain numbered pages with botanized plants. This second part of the Schreiber herbar- ium contains nine bundles (numbered I to IX), to which four unnumbered bundles are added (probably as a result of a previous dismemberment of parts of the origi- nal herbarium). The 13 bundles contain 199 sheets (of which two are blank), in which the collected plants are botanized; there are plants that have undergone different levels of degradation over time or have not been preserved at all. Similar to the data in the fi rst part, these specimens were collected by different collectors whose names, acronyms or signatures are not always mentioned, and neither are the collecting dates or locations. Even when signatures existed and locations were mentioned, the handwriting often proved indecipherable. The collection should be dated in the 19th century if the dates on some labels are considered. With regard to the collectors, most of them then originated from areas of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire and to Western European countries, too, reaching Spain, France, Belgium and West Germany, respectively, Sardinia and Greece (the Isle of Crete), and eastward, up to the Crimean peninsula (Odessa), Ukraine, Eastern Prussia and Russia. To these, the Central European areas of Switzerland, Northern Italy, Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hun- gary, Romania (Transylvania), Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia, and Croatia are added. There are also items from locations outside Europe, such as the Middle East (Syria) and North America (Missouri, USA). Among the collectors we identi- fi ed there are personalities then famous in the world of naturalists (herbalists), spe- https://biblioteca-digitala.ro The Theodor Schreiber Herbarium II 7 cialized in plant taxonomy, even if their work was not much connected to botany (as they were physicians, pharmacists or teachers). Thus we mention the names of collectors from the former Austrian-Hungarian Empire or of those who collected both in Austrian territory and in German or Hungarian ones, even reaching as far as Banat and Transylvania (now in Romania), such as Paul Ascherson, Georg von Frauenfeld, Jakob Juratzka, J. C. Equus a Pittoni, J. von Kovats, Robert Rauscher, O. C. Schramm, Victor Janka, Ferdinand Schur, Jermy Gusztav, Ludwig Lajos Richter, Janos A. Heuffel, Wolfner, Antal Czetz, Florian Porcius, and Bedrich Ve- selsky. There are also collectors who have been active in more restricted areas, with certain peculiarities, such as A. Makovsky in the Czech Republic (Bohemia), M. Tommasini, Vincenzo de Cesati, G. A. Pirona, Pietro Porta, Rupert Huterori Morandell in Italy (in Trieste and the area of Southern Tyrol), W. A. Schneller (Ser- bia - Voivodina) C. F. H. Wimmer in Poland (Silesia – Wroclaw), Liudjevit Farkas Vukotinovic (with Tommasini and Frauenfeld) in Croatia, or Heinrich Zollinger, J. C. Rehsteiner, Mademoiselle Cottet, F.-J. Lagger, and C. Christener in Switzerland (for the alpine fl ora). We found names of collectors who worked in Belgium (me- dicinal fl ora), such as Armand Thielens, or in France and Spain, such as A. F. Le Jolis (Cherbourg), A. Huguenin (Savoie), Chichale (Paris) and A. Huet du Pavillon with F. S. Alioth (Eastern Pyrénées). For Greece and Syria, the identifi ed collectors are K. G. T. Kotschy (Syria) and T. H. H. Heldreich (Greece). We need to mention (as we did in the fi rst part, too) that besides the fact that in this herbarium there are names of collectors that we found nothing special about or whose signatures could not be deciphered, there are also samples with no mention of any author. Material and method The examined material represents a part of the “Th. Schreiber Herbari- um”, namely the part consisting of 41 bundles, deposited in the collection of the Ţării Crişurilor Museum in Oradea, divided into three boxes. The present study focuses on only 13 of the bundles, deposited in the third box, respectively, the fi rst nine bundles (numbered from I to IX), to which four more unnumbered bundles are added (probably

All previously known Bulgarian slugs from the Arionidae, Milacidae, Limacidae and Agriolimacidae families have been discussed in this paper. It is based on many years of individual field research, examination of all accessible private and museum collections as well as on critical analysis of the published data. The taxa from families to species are sup­ plied with synonymy, descriptions of external morphology, anatomy, bionomics, distribution and all records from Bulgaria. It also includes the original key to all species. The illustrative material comprises 118 drawings, including 116 made by the author, and maps of localities on UTM grid. The occurrence of 37 slug species was ascertained, including 1 species (Tandonia pirinia- na) which is quite new for scientists. The occurrence of other 4 species known from publications could not bo established. Basing on the variety of slug fauna two zoogeographical limits were indicated. One separating the Stara Pianina Mountains from south-western massifs (Pirin, Rila, Rodopi, Vitosha. Mountains), the other running across the range of Stara Pianina in the^area of Shipka pass. INTRODUCTION Like other Balkan countries, Bulgaria is an area of Palearctic especially interesting in respect to malacofauna. So far little investigation has been carried out on molluscs of that country and very few papers on slugs (mostly contributions) were published. The papers by B a b o r (1898) and J u r in ić (1906) are the oldest ones.

During a four-year qualitative study of non-marine molluscs, 96 sites within the DWA and nearby nature reserves were sampled in cooperation with the “Alpine Land Snails Working Group” located at the Natural History Museum of Vienna. Altogether, 84 taxa were recorded (72 land snails, 12 water snails and mussels) including four endemics and seven species listed in the Austrian Red List of Molluscs. A reference collection (empty shells) of molluscs, which is stored at the DWA administration, was created. This project was the first systematic survey of mollusc fauna in the DWA. Further sampling might provide additional information in the future, particularly for Hydrobiidae in springs and caves, where detailed analyses (e.g. anatomical and genetic) are needed.

Abstract Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) is the most widespread invasive weed in sagebrush ecosystems of North America. Restoration of perennial vegetation is difficult and land managers have often used introduced bunchgrasses to restore degraded sagebrush communities. Our objective was to evaluate the potential of ‘Vavilov’ Siberian wheatgrass (Agropyron fragile [Roth] P. Candargy) to establish on cheatgrass-dominated sites. We examined Vavilov establishment in response to different levels of soil nitrogen availability by adding sucrose to the soil to promote nitrogen (N) immobilization and examined cheatgrass competition by seeding different levels of cheatgrass. We used a blocked split-split plot design with two sucrose levels (0 and 360 g ? m22), two levels of Vavilov (0 and 300 seeds ? m22), and five levels of cheatgrass (0, 150, 300, 600, and 1 200 seeds ? m22). Seeding was conducted in fall 2003 and 2004, and measurements were taken in June 2004, 2005, and 2006.

  • Chapter 5 Phylogeny of Poaceae Based on Matk Gene Sequences

    Chapter 5 Phylogeny of Poaceae Based on Matk Gene Sequences

    Chapter 5 Phylogeny of Poaceae Based on matK Gene Sequences 5.1 Introduction Phylogenetic reconstruction in the Poaceae began early in this century with proposed evolutionary hypotheses based on assessment of existing knowledge of grasses (e.g., Bew, 1929; Hubbard 1948; Prat, 1960; Stebbins, 1956, 1982; Clayton, 1981; Tsvelev, 1983). Imperical approaches to phylogenetic reconstruction of the Poaceae followed those initial hypotheses, starting with cladistic analyses of morphological and anatomical characters (Kellogg and Campbell, 1987; Baum, 1987; Kellogg and Watson, 1993). More recently, molecular information has provided the basis for phylogenetic hypotheses in grasses at the subfamily and tribe levels (Table 5.1). These molecular studies were based on information from chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) restriction sites and DNA sequencing of the rbcL, ndhF, rps4, 18S and 26S ribosomal DNA (rDNA), phytochrome genes, and the ITS region (Hamby and Zimmer, 1988; Doebley et al., 1990; Davis and Soreng, 1993; Cummings, King, and Kellogg, 1994; Hsiao et al., 1994; Nadot, Bajon, and Lejeune, 1994; Barker, Linder, and Harley, 1995; Clark, Zhang, and Wendel, 1995; Duvall and Morton, 1996; Liang and Hilu, 1996; Mathews and Sharrock, 1996). Although these studies have refined our concept of grass evolution at the subfamily level and, to a certain degree, at the tribal level, major disagreements and questions remain to be addressed. Outstanding discrepancies at the subfamily level include: 1) Are the pooids, bambusoids senso lato, or herbaceous bamboos the
