BNS played a full part in this with experts on hand to help and encourage the large numbers of people who took part. For full details of the events and projects see the Society Annual Report. We have two articles focusing on lower plants this time. Jean Oliver gives us a fascinating insight into the fungi she has found at the St George’s Flower Bank Reserve since 2011 (over 100) including, believe it or not, St George’s mushroom! Interesting bryophytes, fungi and lichens found in the region in various habitats are reported by David Hill and his colleagues including some conservation projects. Continuing the botanical theme, Blagdon Lake and Chew Valley Lake are familiar to most of us, but perhaps not so the plants that grow there. Rupert Higgins explains the effects of nutrient-rich run off from farms on the flora and reports his latest survey there. Most of us are unaware of the bats that sometimes visit our gardens. Jane Cole and the Avon Bat Group have installed a bat detector in some of their gardens in Bristol, with interesting and sometimes surprising results. This paper nicely complements Roger Symes’ Mammal Report which looks at the records collected during the year. Lucy Rogers leads us through the conservation plans of Avon Wildlife Trust and explains some of their current projects, while I report on an interesting visit to BRERC where I learned about the wider world of wildlife recording. Some interesting invertebrates were recorded this year; Ray Barnett provides a summary, while his fellow entomologist David Hawkins encourages us all to look for the rather unusual Lesne’s earwig! Finally, if you thought last summer was wet you would be correct – Richard Bland provides his weather report for the year and sets his findings in a wider context. I hope you enjoy this issue. I would like to thank the committee for their helpful ideas and support. Dee Holladay [email protected] 1 Fungi on the St. George’s Flower Bank, Easton-in-Gordano Jean Oliver Introduction The St. George’s Flower Bank is comprised of the verges and cycle path along the A369 (Martcombe Road) near Easton-in-Gordano. It is now designated a Local Nature Reserve. The original A369 was diverted at St. George’s Hill to accommodate the M5 motorway junction at the Gordano service area [c. 1971]. A half-mile stretch of new road was cut through a field to straighten and widen the old one. This cutting produced areas of nutrient poor grassland. In 2015 the Flower Bank celebrated its 25th anniversary having originally been brought into being by Bob Buck, a Pill resident. Bob and a band of volunteers have maintained the area to preserve the Primroses, Cowslips and Orchids that appeared on the Bank. Grass areas are mown at the end of the summer and the arisings removed. Encroaching scrub and saplings are also removed. The Flower Bank comprises three basic areas: 1. The eastern end, Pearl’s Patch, is wooded and has mainly native trees including Hazel, Birch, Elder, Gorse, Mountain Ash, Beech, Alder, Apple, Yew, Holly, and Oak and has a Hawthorn hedge at the field boundary. 2. The western end from the Easton-in-Gordano turn-off has on the north side a cycle track bounded by trees including Hazel, regenerating Elms, Ash, Blackthorn, Sycamore, Dogwood, Holly, Field Maple and Hawthorn. There is an area of meadow at the road junction. The south side is a steep grassy/mossy bank with some Hawthorn, Ash, Hazel and Cherry. 2 Fungi on the St George’s Flower Bank – Jean Oliver Pearl’s Patch Cycle Track Meadow Middle section (North verge) Middle section (South verge) 3 Fungi on the St George’s Flower Bank – Jean Oliver 3. The middle section is mainly managed to maintain it as meadow. The verge on the south side is steeply sloping while the verge to the north side is not so steep. Both sides have rocky outcrops with some Hazel, Ash, Hawthorn and Field Maple. Plants growing on the Flower Bank include Field Scabious, Restharrow, Carline Thistle, Wild Carrot, Ploughman’s Spikenard, Pyramidal Orchid, Common Spotted Orchid, Bee Orchid, Bird’s-foot Trefoil, Hogweed, Ox-eye Daisy, Agrimony and Knapweed. After attending a talk about the Flower Bank I decided to pay monthly visits starting in 2011 to look for fungi that might be growing there.

    Checklist of the Argentine Agaricales 4. Tricholomataceae and Polyporaceae 1 2* N. NIVEIRO & E. ALBERTÓ 1Instituto de Botánica del Nordeste (UNNE-CONICET). Sargento Cabral 2131, CC 209 Corrientes Capital, CP 3400, Argentina 2Instituto de Investigaciones Biotecnológicas (UNSAM-CONICET) Intendente Marino Km 8.200, Chascomús, Buenos Aires, CP 7130, Argentina CORRESPONDENCE TO *: [email protected] ABSTRACT— A species checklist of 86 genera and 709 species belonging to the families Tricholomataceae and Polyporaceae occurring in Argentina, and including all the species previously published up to year 2011 is presented. KEY WORDS—Agaricomycetes, Marasmius, Mycena, Collybia, Clitocybe Introduction The aim of the Checklist of the Argentinean Agaricales is to establish a baseline of knowledge on the diversity of mushrooms species described in the literature from Argentina up to 2011. The families Amanitaceae, Pluteaceae, Hygrophoraceae, Coprinaceae, Strophariaceae, Bolbitaceae and Crepidotaceae were previoulsy compiled (Niveiro & Albertó 2012a-c). In this contribution, the families Tricholomataceae and Polyporaceae are presented. Materials & Methods Nomenclature and classification systems This checklist compiled data from the available literature on Tricholomataceae and Polyporaceae recorded for Argentina up to the year 2011. Nomenclature and classification systems followed Singer (1986) for families. The genera Pleurotus, Panus, Lentinus, and Schyzophyllum are included in the family Polyporaceae. The Tribe Polyporae (including the genera Polyporus, Pseudofavolus, and Mycobonia) is excluded. There were important rearrangements in the families Tricholomataceae and Polyporaceae according to Singer (1986) over time to present. Tricholomataceae was distributed in six families: Tricholomataceae, Marasmiaceae, Physalacriaceae, Lyophyllaceae, Mycenaceae, and Hydnaginaceae. Some genera belonging to this family were transferred to other orders, i.e. Rickenella (Rickenellaceae, Hymenochaetales), and Lentinellus (Auriscalpiaceae, Russulales).

  • AVON BTO REGION News
    AVON BTO REGION News The newsletter for BTO members and volunteers in the BTO Avon Region December 2020 Welcome to the BTO Avon Newsletter. This newsletter is aimed at providing local communication between the BTO and its members and volunteers in our county covering a variety of topics including gaps in surveys, what’s happening nationally as well as locally. What a year it’s been so far! Our world has changed, and so much of the Spring survey work just wasn’t possible. However, being outside is now being recognised as by far the healthy option: it’s good for you physically and mentally, and you’re less likely to catch COVID-19. Appreciation of nature is surely an inherent part of being a BTO supporter, so we were all well aware of the benefits of watching birds. Membership BTO Membership in Avon currently stands at 331 members with the total number of members and non members making up the BTO Avon community standing at 903. Hopefully 2021 will see an increase in membership and volunteers as we try to raise the profile of the BTO in the region. Good communication from BTO nationally but most importantly BTO Avon locally is essential to increase membership as we begin to try to encourage a few more people to join. Those people that are already members will know that as part of their subscription they receive BTO News four times a year covering a variety of BTO topics and an Annual Review. There is also a 15% reduction in the cost of a BTO Training Course to improve your identification, fieldcraft and survey skills and enrich your birdwatching.

  • LUNDY FUNGI: FURTHER SURVEYS 2004-2008 by JOHN N
    Journal of the Lundy Field Society, 2, 2010 LUNDY FUNGI: FURTHER SURVEYS 2004-2008 by JOHN N. HEDGER1, J. DAVID GEORGE2, GARETH W. GRIFFITH3, DILUKA PEIRIS1 1School of Life Sciences, University of Westminster, 115 New Cavendish Street, London, W1M 8JS 2Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, SW7 5BD 3Institute of Biological Environmental and Rural Sciences, University of Aberystwyth, SY23 3DD Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The results of four five-day field surveys of fungi carried out yearly on Lundy from 2004-08 are reported and the results compared with the previous survey by ourselves in 2003 and to records made prior to 2003 by members of the LFS. 240 taxa were identified of which 159 appear to be new records for the island. Seasonal distribution, habitat and resource preferences are discussed. Keywords: Fungi, ecology, biodiversity, conservation, grassland INTRODUCTION Hedger & George (2004) published a list of 108 taxa of fungi found on Lundy during a five-day survey carried out in October 2003. They also included in this paper the records of 95 species of fungi made from 1970 onwards, mostly abstracted from the Annual Reports of the Lundy Field Society, and found that their own survey had added 70 additional records, giving a total of 156 taxa. They concluded that further surveys would undoubtedly add to the database, especially since the autumn of 2003 had been exceptionally dry, and as a consequence the fruiting of the larger fleshy fungi on Lundy, especially the grassland species, had been very poor, resulting in under-recording. Further five-day surveys were therefore carried out each year from 2004-08, three in the autumn, 8-12 November 2004, 4-9 November 2007, 3-11 November 2008, one in winter, 23-27 January 2006 and one in spring, 9-16 April 2005.

  • Biochemical Divergence Between Cavernicolous and Marine
    The position of crustaceans within Arthropoda - Evidence from nine molecular loci and morphology GONZALO GIRIBET', STEFAN RICHTER2, GREGORY D. EDGECOMBE3 & WARD C. WHEELER4 Department of Organismic and Evolutionary- Biology, Museum of Comparative Zoology; Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, U.S.A. ' Friedrich-Schiller-UniversitdtJena, Instituifiir Spezielte Zoologie und Evolutionsbiologie, Jena, Germany 3Australian Museum, Sydney, NSW, Australia Division of Invertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History, New York, U.S.A. ABSTRACT The monophyly of Crustacea, relationships of crustaceans to other arthropods, and internal phylogeny of Crustacea are appraised via parsimony analysis in a total evidence frame­ work. Data include sequences from three nuclear ribosomal genes, four nuclear coding genes, and two mitochondrial genes, together with 352 characters from external morphol­ ogy, internal anatomy, development, and mitochondrial gene order. Subjecting the com­ bined data set to 20 different parameter sets for variable gap and transversion costs, crusta­ ceans group with hexapods in Tetraconata across nearly all explored parameter space, and are members of a monophyletic Mandibulata across much of the parameter space. Crustacea is non-monophyletic at low indel costs, but monophyly is favored at higher indel costs, at which morphology exerts a greater influence. The most stable higher-level crusta­ cean groupings are Malacostraca, Branchiopoda, Branchiura + Pentastomida, and an ostracod-cirripede group. For combined data, the Thoracopoda and Maxillopoda concepts are unsupported, and Entomostraca is only retrieved under parameter sets of low congruence. Most of the current disagreement over deep divisions in Arthropoda (e.g., Mandibulata versus Paradoxopoda or Cormogonida versus Chelicerata) can be viewed as uncertainty regarding the position of the root in the arthropod cladogram rather than as fundamental topological disagreement as supported in earlier studies (e.g., Schizoramia versus Mandibulata or Atelocerata versus Tetraconata).

    1 Original Research Article 2 3 THE MALOIDEAE (ROSACEAE) STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL FEATURES 4 DETERMINING PASSIVE IMMUNITY TO MYCOSIS 5 6 7 With the help of microscopic methods the leaves and fruits surface tissues of plants of four 8 genera of the Maloideae subfamily were screened: Malus Mill., Pyrus L., Cydonia Mill., 9 Mespilus L., as model objects, and attempts were made to explain the dependence of mycosis 10 damage on microstructural features. The species composition of fungi that cause damage to the 11 Maloideae leaves and fruits in the Russia southern regions is analyzed. It is established that 12 among pathogens with different types of parasitism there are common excitants, as well as 13 highly specialized, more represented on Mespilus germanica. Higher resistance to the complex 14 of fungal diseases, in comparison with apple and pear, was found in quince and medlar. This 15 stability at the initial stage of the pathological process is associated with structural features such 16 as micromorphology of the fruits and stomata cuticle in the abaxial leaves epidermis. The leaves 17 stomatal cracks of the medlar are narrow with raised outgrowths, on the surface of the fruit – the 18 layered structure of the cuticular layer. Quince has a powerful continuous cuticular cover. 19 Compared with Malus and Pyrus, Cydonia and Mespilus also have a large (30 % or more) 20 polyphenol content in the pericarp outer layer cells. In addition to the gender-specific differences 21 in the microstructure of the integumentary tissues and the content of polyphenols affecting the 22 resistance to pathogens at the stage of their penetration, general patterns of leaf surface 23 formation, such as hypostomacy, anomocytic stomata, folded microrelief of the cuticular surface, 24 and the presence of single and multicellular trichomes are noted.
