In the past, the Nearctic Tanytarsus limneticus Sublette, 1964, as well as the Neotropical T. rhabdomantis (TrivinhoStrixino & Strixino, 1991) and Caladomyia ortoni Säwedal, 1981 were erroneously placed in Nimbocera Reiss, 1972 due to the annulated Lauterborn organ pedicels of the larvae, a feature first thought to be unique to this genus. In the present paper, the systematic position of T. lim...

The adults and immature stages of Paratanytarsus corbii sp. n. and the male adult of Paratanytarsus silentii sp. n. are described and illustrated. P. corbii larvae were collected on sediment and aquatic vegetation of the headwater of the Anhumas Reservoir (Américo Brasiliense, SP) and reared in laboratory to obtain the pupal exuviae and associated adults. The adult males of P. silentii were obt...

Beech leaves were sampled at the end of a prolonged hot dry period at a tree decline site in the Black Forest, Germany to investigate the potential role of flavanols in defense mechanisms against environmental stress. Green and yellowing leaves were harvested from the uppermost canopy of trees that were more than 200 years old and 30 m high. Yellowing leaves had a 7.4-fold higher concentration ...

The capacity to control developmental and morphogenetic processes in vitro has always been the fascination and primary focus of many ornamental tissue culture studies. Thin cell layers or TCLs were first used to control the development of flowers, roots, shoots and somatic embryos in tobacco pedicels. Since those studies over 30 years ago, TCLs have been successfully used in the micropropagatio...

Polyceratocarpus askhambryan-iringae, an endemic tree species of Annonaceae from the Udzungwa Mountains of Tanzania, is described and illustrated. The new species is identified as a member of the genus Polyceratocarpus by the combination of staminate and bisexual flowers, axillary inflorescences, subequal outer and inner petals, and multi-seeded monocarps with pitted seeds. From Polyceratocarpu...

A new Phytophthora pathogen of trees and shrubs, previously informally designated Phytophthora taxon C, is formally named here as P. kernoviae. P. kernoviae was discovered in late 2003 during surveys of woodlands in Cornwall, south-west England, for the presence of another invasive pathogen, P. ramorum. P. kernoviae is self-fertile (homothallic), having plerotic oogonia, often with distinctly t...

This study presents a pioneering investigation into the anatomical composition of both above-ground and underground organs, including leaves, petioles, peduncles, pedicels, roots Ferula tenuisecta, within their natural ecological habitats. Notably, this research delves schizogenic type tissue development found in peduncle root, elucidating its intricate connection to robustness organ, which, tu...

While the left-coast furor over hang time and extended maturation rarely visits our cool-climate shores, New York is certainly feeling the heat this year. In the last three issues, both our analysis numbers and reports provide ample evidence that the warm weather in 2010 has resulted in early ripening and potential for longer overall hang time. Instead of the bright, lively, stillgreenbehind-th...

In February 2010, dermatitis characterized by scale and self-trauma due to puritis was recognized in a group of 22 four-toed hedgehogs (Atelerix albiventris Wagner, 1841) from a local pet shop in Gwangju, Korea. Microscopic examinations of skin scraping samples showed numerous mites of all developmental stages. Morphologically, pedicels of adult mites were short and unjointed. Tarsal caruncles ...
