101. Using reintroductions to reclaim the lost range of the dormouse, Muscardinus avellanarius, in England

Creator:
Mitchell-Jones, Anthony J. and White, Ian
Type:
article and TEXT
Subject:
distribution and landscape connectivity
Language:
English
Description:
The dormouse Muscardinus avellanarius has disappeared from a large part of its range in England, probably because of habitat fragmentation and deterioration. Reintroductions, mainly using captive-bred animals, have been generally successful at re-establishing populations within this lost part of the species’ range, with only 2, perhaps 3, out of 15 known to have failed. However, the establishment of new isolated populations is not seen as an end point to the project and attention is now focused on improving habitat connectivity around the reintroduction sites, to enable the founder populations to spread to nearby woods.

102. Úzkolisté druhy rodu Potamogeton v květeně České republiky IV. P. pusillus s.l. a P. trichoides

Subject:
Potamogeton, Potamogetonaceae, taxonomy, species delimitation, morphology, distribution, and Czech Republic
Language:
English
Description:
The fourth part of a revision of linear-leaved species of the genus Potamogeton in the Czech Republic is given, dealing with P. pusillus s.l. and P. trichoides. The appropriate taxonomic concept and species delimitation within P. pusillus s.l. are discussed. Because of still unresolved taxonomic difficulties and high percentage of specimens that cannot be assigned to one of the two traditionally distinguished species, P. pusillus s. str. (syn. P. panormitanus) and P. berchtoldii, the broader concept of P. pusillus s.l. has tentatively been adopted in this revision. This species complex is widespread in the Czech Republic, absent only in relatively small areas of the highest elevations and the driest areas without suitable biotopes. P. pusillus s.l. is the commonest taxon of Potamogeton in standing waters. P. trichoides, a well defined species distinguished by several morphological characters, occurs scattered mainly in S, C and E Bohemia and S and C Moravia, with most localities concentrated in S Bohemia. It is considered as strongly threatened species of the Czech flora. Species descriptions, relevant synonyms, illustrations, a list of specimens examined and distribution maps are provided for both species. P. rutilus was once reported from the Czech Republic in error. No specimen from this country has been found in herbaria.

103. Úzkolisté druhy rodu Potamogeton v květeně České republiky V. P. pectinatus

Subject:
Potamogeton, Potamogetonaceae, taxonomy, morphology, distribution, and Czech Republic
Language:
English
Description:
The last part of a revision of linear-leaved species of the genus Potamogeton in the Czech Republic focuses on P. pectinatus. This species is the only member of subgenus Coleogeton occurring in this country. Species description, relevant synonyms, illustrations, a list of specimens examined and a distribution map are provided. P. pectinatus is widespread in the Czech Republic; it is the most common Potamogeton species particularly in runningwaters. P. pectinatus still quite often grows in most lowland rivers and their basins.

Language:

Description:
The third part of a revision of linear-leaved species of the genus Potamogeton in the Czech Republic is given. Two species, P. obtusifolius and P. friesii, are dealt with in this contribution. Species descriptions, relevant synonyms, illustrations, a list of specimens examined and distribution maps are provided. P. obtusifolius grows almost exclusively in the Bohemian part, particularly in S and E Bohemia, whereas in Moravia it is confined to a few localities mainly in its NE part (Silesia). It is classified as a threatened species of the Czech flora. P. friesii has been collected only in a few localities in C and NE Bohemia. Last time it was seen in 1989 but has not been confirmed in the site since then; thus the species belongs among missing (and probably extinct) taxa in the Czech Republic.

105. West Palaearctic species of the genus Eloeophila (Diptera: Limoniidae)

Subject:
Diptera, Limoniidae, Eloeophila, West Palaearctic, taxonomy, redescriptions, new synonymy, lectotype designation, new species, new records, distribution, and key
Language:
English
Description:
A review of West Palaearctic species of the genus Eloeophila Rondani, 1856 is presented. Three species are redescribed, viz. E. czernyi (Strobl in Czerny & Strobl, 1909), E. laciniata (Edwards, 1928), and E. pusilla (Kuntze, 1920). A lectotype of the latter is designated. Eloeophila albofascia (Alexander, 1975) is established as a new junior synonym of E. apicata (Loew, 1871). Descriptions are provided of E. bipartita sp. n. (North Italy), E. delmastroi sp. n. (North Italy), E. lucasi sp. n. (South Italy and Sicily), E. maroccana sp. n. (Morocco, Spain), E. martinovskyi sp. n. (South Italy), E. minor sp. n. (Czech Republic, Slovakia), E. pectinistylus sp. n. (Spain), E. punctulata sp. n. [Cyprus, Greece (Crete)], E. sparsipunctum sp. n. (Bulgaria), and E. tigricosta sp. n. (Spain). A key to males of all West Palaearctic species is presented.

Description:
Záměrem tohoto textu je zpřístupnit specifickou kategorii archeologického pramene (keramické značky) a upozornit na možnosti jeho využití pro studium dějin hrnčířství a distribuce keramiky. Prezentován je jeden z našich nejrozsáhlejších souborů, shromážděný v raně středověkém hradišti Stará Boleslav. Sledovány jsou podíly značené keramiky, dále identické značky, jejich distribuce na lokalitě a konečně technologické vlastnosti výrobků, které pocházejí z téže dílny. and Maker’s marks on the bases of ceramic vessels from Stará Boleslav. The aim of this text is to make available a specific category of archaeological resource (ceramic maker’s marks) and to draw attention to the opportunities for the use of this resource in studying the history of pottery and the distribution of ceramics. One of the largest available assemblages is presented, that which was brought together in the Early Medieval castle at Stará Boleslav. The article considers the proportion of marked ceramics, as well as identity markers, their distribution over the site and lastly the technological properties of those products that came from these workshops.
