Biodiversity linked to fruit cultivation plays a key role in terms of the availability of quality products and nutraceutical compounds for the food industry. Thus underutilized species such as Sorbus domestica L. can be an important resource. The aim of this study was to evaluate 31 local accessions from different growing areas on the Island of Sicily and characterize the fruits according to the biometric-carpological features that constitute their qual- ity in order to understand the potential that this species may have not only regarding the recovery and preservation of genetic resources in the Mediterranean area but also the nutraceutical compounds it offers. The results from this preliminary study showed significant differences in quality between the considered accessions and suggested that these local varieties are a good source of total polyphenol compounds. Key words: biodiversity, Sorbus domestica L., minor fruits, quality, polyphenols Introduction acteristics both regarding size and qualitative parameters has inevitably caused a flattening of consumer tastes and Among the distribution ranges that fall within the indirectly the progressive loss of the plant patrimony that Mediterranean basin, Italy has always been an important was once the foundation of Italian fruit cultivation (1).

  • Genome-Wide Characterization of Simple Sequence Repeats in Pyrus
    Xue et al. BMC Genomics (2018) 19:473 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-018-4822-7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genome-wide characterization of simple sequence repeats in Pyrus bretschneideri and their application in an analysis of genetic diversity in pear Huabai Xue1,2†, Pujuan Zhang1†, Ting Shi1, Jian Yang2, Long Wang2, Suke Wang2, Yanli Su2, Huirong Zhang2, Yushan Qiao1* and Xiugen Li2* Abstract Background: Pear (Pyrus spp.) is an economically important temperate fruit tree worldwide. In the past decade, significant progress has been made in pear molecular genetics based on DNA research, but the number of molecular markers is still quite limited, which hardly satisfies the increasing needs of geneticists and breeders. Results: In this study, a total of 156,396 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci were identified from a genome sequence of Pyrus bretschneideri ‘Dangshansuli’. A total of 101,694 pairs of SSR primers were designed from the SSR loci, and 80,415 of the SSR loci were successfully located on 17 linkage groups (LGs). A total of 534 primer pairs were synthesized and preliminarily screened in four pear cultivars, and of these, 332 primer pairs were selected as clear, stable, and polymorphic SSR markers. Eighteen polymorphic SSR markers were randomly selected from the 332 polymorphic SSR markers in order to perform a further analysis of the genetic diversity among 44 pear cultivars. The 14 European pears and their hybrid materials were clustered into one group (European pear group); 29 Asian pear cultivars were clustered into one group (Asian pear group); and the Zangli pear cultivar ‘Deqinli’ from Yunnan Province, China, was grouped in an independent group, which suggested that the cultivar ‘Deqinli’ is a distinct and valuable germplasm resource.

I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other university. 1 2 Image: Charles Tyler “The first picture of you, The first picture of summer, Seeing the flowers scream their joy.” - The Lotus Eaters (1983) 3 4 Abstract The common cuckoo Cuculus canorus has undergone a striking divergence in population trend between UK habitats since the 1980s. The breeding population in Scotland – in largely semi-natural open habitat – shows significant increase whereas there has been a significant decline in England. Here breeding numbers have remained stable or increased in semi-natural habitats, while woodland and farmland populations have plummeted. As a brood parasitic bird with a long-distance annual migration, the cuckoo has a unique network of relationships to songbird „hosts‟, prey and habitat; and a disconnection between adult and nestling ecology due to lack of parental care. This thesis investigated the role of breeding ground land-use factors in driving cuckoo population decline. In the first chapter information was synthesised from the literature on potential threats and environmental impacts facing cuckoo populations, which also highlighted knowledge gaps and a basis for hypotheses in later chapters.

SHORTALL, ALISON MOORE, EMMA SMITH, MIKE J. HALL, IAN P. WOIWOD and RICHARD HARRINGTON Plant and Invertebrate Ecology Department, Rothamsted Research, Harpenden, Hertfordshire, UK Abstract. 1. For the first time, long-term changes in total aerial insect biomass have been estimated for a wide area of Southern Britain. 2. Various indices of biomass were created for standardised samples from four of the Rothamsted Insect Survey 12.2 m tall suction traps for the 30 years from 1973 to 2002. 3. There was a significant decline in total biomass at Hereford but not at three other sites: Rothamsted, Starcross and Wye. 4. For the Hereford samples, many insects were identified at least to order level, some to family or species level. These samples were then used to investigate the taxa involved in the decline in biomass at Hereford. 5. The Hereford samples were dominated by large Diptera, particularly Dilophus febrilis, which showed a significant decline in abundance. 6. Changes in agricultural practice that could have contributed to the observed declines are discussed, as are potential implications for farmland birds, with sugges- tions for further work to investigate both cause and effect. Key words. Biodiversity, biomass, Diptera, long-term monitoring, suction trap. Introduction undergone well-documented declines in recent years. These declines coincided with a period of agricultural intensification There is widespread concern over biodiversity extinction rates (Buckwell & Armstrong-Brown, 2004; Buckingham et al., 2006), and their impact on the human species (Pimm et al., 1995).

  • Peach Volatile Emission and Attractiveness of Different Host Plant
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Peach volatile emission and attractiveness of diferent host plant volatiles blends to Cydia molesta in adjacent peach and pear orchards Peng‑fei Lu1* & Hai‑li Qiao2 The oriental fruit moth (OFM), Cydia (= Grapholitha) molesta, is a highly damaging pest; peaches are its primary host, and pears serve as post‑peach secondary hosts during the late season in China. We collected volatiles from detached peach shoots and fruits, and identifed them with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Antennally active compounds were identifed by gas chromatography-electroantennogram detection (GC-EAD), and these were further tested in the laboratory and feld. We detected consistent electroantennographic activity was for ten compounds. Signifcantly more C. molesta females were caught with a mixture of female EAD-active compounds identifed from the detached matured peach fruits (nonanal, butyl acetate, 3-methylbutyl acetate, hexyl acetate, (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate, linalool and farnesene) than other mixtures mimicking the volatile profle from detached matured fruits or shoots. We identifed a new GC-EAD active mixture from intact peach shoots composed of nonanal, (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate, (E)-β-ocimene, and 6-methyl- 5-hepten-2-one. In the feld test, the background odour of orchards could afect trap catches, and two peach-derived blends together with two previously known pear-derived blends were proven to be able to monitor the seasonal OFM population dispersal in adjacent orchards. These host plant blends will be efective for further designing candidate attractants for season-long C. molesta population dynamic monitoring. Phytochemicals are important olfactory cues for moths to fnd hosts and lay eggs 1–4.

Aronia Medik. (chokeberry, Rosaceae) is a genus of woody shrubs with two or three North American species. Species boundaries and relationships between species of Aronia are frequently under question. The only European species in the genus, A. mitschurinii A.K.Skvortsov & Maitul., is suggested to be an inter-generic hybrid. In order to clarify the relationships between species of Aronia, we performed several morphometric and molecular analyses and found that the molecular and morphological diversity within data on American Aronia is low, and species boundaries are mostly not clearly expressed. Whereas morphology is able to separate American species from A. mitschurinii, there is no support for such discrimination from the molecular data; our analyses did not reveal evidence of A.

The following abbreviations are used in the text: BM(NH) – The Natural History Museum, London; NMINH – National Museum of Ireland, Natural History, Dublin. The total number of confirmed Irish species now stands at 1480, an addition of 68 since Bond et al. (2006). Taxonomic arrangement As a result of recent systematic research, it has been necessary to replace the arrangement familiar to British and Irish Lepidopterists by the Fauna Europaea [FE] system used by Karsholt 60 Bulletin of the Irish Biogeographical Society No. 36 (2012) and Razowski, which is widely used in continental Europe.

  • Structure of the Coxa and Homeosis of Legs in Nematocera (Insecta: Diptera)
    Acta Zoologica (Stockholm) 85: 131–148 (April 2004) StructureBlackwell Publishing, Ltd. of the coxa and homeosis of legs in Nematocera (Insecta: Diptera) Leonid Frantsevich Abstract Schmalhausen-Institute of Zoology, Frantsevich L. 2004. Structure of the coxa and homeosis of legs in Nematocera Kiev-30, Ukraine 01601 (Insecta: Diptera). — Acta Zoologica (Stockholm) 85: 131–148 Construction of the middle and hind coxae was investigated in 95 species of Keywords: 30 nematoceran families. As a rule, the middle coxa contains a separate coxite, Insect locomotion – Homeotic mutations the mediocoxite, articulated to the sternal process. In most families, this coxite – Diptera – Nematocera is movably articulated to the eucoxite and to the distocoxite area; the coxa is Accepted for publication: radially split twice. Some groups are characterized by a single split. 1 July 2004 The coxa in flies is restricted in its rotation owing to a partial junction either between the meron and the pleurite or between the eucoxite and the meropleurite. Hence the coxa is fastened to the thorax not only by two pivots (to the pleural ridge and the sternal process), but at the junction named above. Rotation is impossible without deformations; the role of hinges between coxites is to absorb deformations. This adaptive principle is confirmed by physical modelling. Middle coxae of limoniid tribes Eriopterini and Molophilini are compact, constructed by the template of hind coxae. On the contrary, hind coxae in all families of Mycetophiloidea and in Psychodidae s.l. are constructed like middle ones, with the separate mediocoxite, centrally suspended at the sternal process. These cases are considered as homeotic mutations, substituting one structure with a no less efficient one.
