  • Arthropods and Other Biota Associated with the Azorean Trees and Shrubs: Juniperus Brevifolia

RIGAL, A.O. SOARES, P. CARDOSO & P.A.V. BORGES Nunes, R., R. Gabriel, R.B. Elias, F. Rigal, A.O. Soares, P. Cardoso & P.A.V. Borges 2015. Arthropods and other Biota associated with the Azorean Trees and Shrubs: Juniperus brevifolia. Arquipelago. Life and Marine Sciences 32: 19-48. Appendix I-IV. This work aims to characterize the arthropods and other biota (lichens, bryophytes, vascular plants and birds) associated with the Azorean endemic tree, Juniperus brevifolia. This is the first of a series of publications that will (i) provide a comprehensive list of all the biota associated with the main Azorean endemic trees and shrubs, (ii) describe in detail the diver- sity, abundance and spatial patterns of canopy arthropods, and (iii) whenever possible, to extend biodiversity assessments to communities of bryophytes, lichens, vascular plants and vertebrates. We use standardized sampled data from BALA project for canopy arthropods and for the remaining taxa we surveyed literature data and the Herbarium of University of Azores. Juniperus brevifolia occurs in a wide range of elevation belts in Azores and accommodates a remarkable large number of taxa: besides canopy arthropods (161 species) it is also an important substrate to other vascular species (six species), bryophytes (105 spe- cies), lichens (106 species) and also birds (four species). In addition, the species richness and particularly the abundance of endemics are dominant, and the number of conservation concern species for bryophytes is noteworthy (30 out of 70).

  • Biodiversität Von Schmetterlingen (Lepidoptera) Im Gebiet Des Naturparks Schlern
    Gredleriana Vol. 7 / 2007 pp. 233 - 306 Biodiversität von Schmetterlingen (Lepidoptera) im Gebiet des Naturparks Schlern Peter Huemer Abstract Biodiversity of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) of the Schlern nature park (South Tyrol, Italy) The species diversity of Lepidoptera within the Schlern nature park has been explored during the vegetation periods 2006 and 2007. Altogether 1030 species have been observed in 16 sites, covering about one third of the entire fauna from the province of South Tyrol. Fifteen additional species have been collected during the diversity day 2006 whereas further 113 species date back to historical explorations. The species inventory includes 20 new records for South Tyrol which are briefly reviewed. Among these speciesMicropterix osthelderi, Rhigognostis incarnatella and Cydia cognatana are the first proved records from Italy. Further two species from the surroundings of the Park include the first published records ofPhyllonorycter issikii and Gelechia sestertiella for Italy. Site specific characteristics of Lepidoptera coenosis are discussed in some detail. Historical aspects of lepidopterological exploration of the Schlern are briefly introduced. Keywords: Lepidoptera, faunistics, biodiversity, Schlern, South Tyrol, Italy 1. Einleitung Der Schlern übt als einer der klassischen Dolomitengipfel schon weit über 100 Jahre eine geradezu magische Anziehungskraft auf Naturwissenschaftler unterschiedlichster Coleurs aus (Abb. 1). Seine Nähe zum Siedlungsraum und vor allem die damit verbundene relativ leichte Erreichbarkeit haben wohl zur Motivation mehrerer Forschergenerationen beigetragen, das Gebiet näher zu untersuchen. Zusätzlich war wohl die Arbeit von GREDLER (1863) über Bad Ratzes für manchen Entomologen ein Anlass die Fauna des Schlerns näher unter die Lupe zu nehmen. Dies gilt auch für Schmetterlinge, wo erste Aufsammlungen bereits in die Mitte des 19.

  • Thuja (Arborvitae)
    nysipm.cornell.edu 2019 Search for this title at the NYSIPM Publications collection: ecommons.cornell.edu/handle/1813/41246 Disease and Insect Resistant Ornamental Plants Mary Thurn, Elizabeth Lamb, and Brian Eshenaur New York State Integrated Pest Management Program, Cornell University Thuja Arborvitae Thuja is a genus of evergreens commonly known as arborvitae. Used extensively in ornamental plantings, there are numerous cultivars available for a range of size, form and foliage color. Many can be recognized by their distinctive scale-like foliage and flattened branchlets. Two popular species, T. occidentalis and T. plicata, are native to North America. Insect pests include leafminers, spider mites and bagworms. Leaf and tip blights may affect arbor- vitae in forest, landscape and nursery settings. INSECTS Arborvitae Leafminer, Argyresthia thuiella, is a native insect pest of Thuja spp. While there are several species of leafminers that attack arborvitae in the United States, A. thuiella is the most common. Its range includes New England and eastern Canada, south to the Mid-Atlantic and west to Missouri (5). Arborvitae is the only known host (6). Heavy feeding in fall and early spring causes yellow foliage that later turns brown. Premature leaf drop may follow. Plants can survive heavy defoliation, but their aesthetic appeal is greatly diminished. Re­ searchers at The Morton Arboretum report significant differences in relative susceptibility to feeding by arborvitae leafminer for several Thuja species and cultivars.

The following six species are treated: Agonopterix scopariella (Heinemann, 1870), A. conciliatella (Rebel, 1892), A. vendettella (Chrétien, 1908) (new to Madeira), A. perezi Walsingham, 1908, Depressaria marcella Rebel, 1901 (new to Madeira and the Azores), and D. halophilella Chrétien, 1908. The latter replaces Depressaria ultimella Stainton, 1849 in the list of Lepidoptera found in Madeira. Depressaria iliensis Rebel, 1936 is a synonym of Agonopterix vendettella (Chrétien, 1908) (syn. nov.). Depressaria halophilella is new to the Canary Islands. We provide brief notes on each of the species and give short diagnoses for correctly identifying them, and we discuss previous misidentifications of Madeiran Depressariinae.
