The morphological properties of <em>Schizothyrioma ptarmicae</em> (Helotiales, Ascomycota), a fungus known from a single locality in Poland and infrequently reported from Europe, are described and illustrated. <em>Schizothyrioma ptarmicae </em>is a parasite of leaves of <em>Achillea ptarmica</em>. It has been found in the Myrico-Saliceto auritae and Cirsio-Polygonetum plant associations of the Słowiński National Park. Additionally, the properties of the specimens of <em>S. ptarmicae</em> collected were compared with those of <em>S. aterridium</em>, the only other member of the genus <em>Schyzothyrioma</em>.

Following the creation of the Empire Marketing Board in 1926, Australia's development was influenced by an imperial science increasingly aware of ecology. The present paper traces similar New Zealand links in the ecological approach to pasture development promoted in the Dominion by Bruce Levy and fuelled by the vision of George Stapledon of the Welsh Plant Breeding Station, who visited New Zealand in 1926. However, plant ecology came much earlier to New Zealand by way of Leonard Cockayne, who in 1908 used ecological arguments to press for the extension of Tongariro National Park and who saw New Zealand's unique plant associations as emblems of nation rather than endowments of empire. By comparing the application of ecology, in New Zealand at different times, to the separate (though not necessarily opposed) goals of building a nation and supporting an empire, insight is gained into the changing ways in which any science may be drawn into the service of societal priorities and aspirations.

Vegetation of the national park of Tek Tek Mountains under the semi-arid and cool Mediterranean climate was analyzed according to 'Braun-Blanquet approach'. The plant associations are classified by considering the characteristic features of the species. In the national park, one new association (Ceraso tortusae - Pistacietum palaestinae) belonging to the shrub vegetation, and two new associations (Achilleo aleppicae - Centaureetum virgatae and Eryngietum cretico – virentis) belonging to steppe vegetation were determined. No similarity among these associations has been identified in the study area with any others introduced before was found. Therefore, these syntaxa are new for science.

In the years 1996-98 and 2001, the occurrence of fungi of the genus Ramulania in 11 plant associations of the Słowiński National Park (north-western Poland) was investigated. The plant associations included: <i>Angelico-Cirsietum oleracei, Betulo pendulae-Quercetum roboris, Carici arenariae-Empetretum nigri (CaEn), Elymo-Ammophiletum (EA), Empetro nigri-Pinetum, Filipendulo-Geranietum, Helichryso-Jasionetum litoralis, Myrico-Salicetum auritae (MSa), Phragmitetum australis (Pa), Ribeso nigri-Alnetum,</i> and <i>Vaccinio uliginosi-Betulelum pubescentis</i>. A total of 37 species of <i>Ramularia</i> were found. Of them, <i>R. galli</i> was newly found in Poland, and <i>R. archangelicae, R. calcea, R. chamaedryos, R. cynarae, R. didymarioides R. lactea, R. rhaetica, R. schulzeri R. tanaceti</i> and <i>R. triboutiana</i> were earlier infrequently recorded in this country. Eight <i>Ramularia</i> taxa were found on plants earlier not reported to be their hosts, i. e., <i>Ramularia chaerophylli</i> (on <i>Chaerophyllum temulum</i>), <i>R. lamii</i> var. <i>lamii (Galeopsis tetrahit), R. inaequale (Hieracium laevigatum, H. sabaudum</i> and <i>Hypochoeris radicata), R. schulzeri (Lotus uliginosus), R. grevilleana</i> var. <i>grevilleana (Potentilla erecta), R. uredinis (Pucciniastrum vaccinii z Vaccinium uliginosum), R. lactea (Viola palustris and V. tricolor)</i> and <i>R. veronicae (Veronica arvensis)</i>. Most species of <i>Ramularia</i> occurred in the <i>MSa</i> (18), and least in <i>EA</i> (1), <i>CaEn</i> (l), and <i>Pa</i> (1).

The resources of food plants of both the <em>Zygaena</em> F. larvae and imagines are still fairly large in the Pieniny Mts. and Małopolska Upland (Wyżyna Małopolska). but they shrink rapidly in connection with urbanization and the intensification of agriculture. In 1982-1985 the populations of <em>Zygaena angelicae</em> Ochsen., <em>Z. loti</em> (Den. et Schiff ) <em>Z. filipendulae</em> (L.). <em>Z. lonicerae</em> (Schev.). <em>Z. viciae</em>, (Den. et Schiff.). and <em>Z. pupuralis</em> (Bünn.) inel. <em>Z. minos</em> (Den et Schiff.) have been observed. 5 species (<em>Zygaena brizae</em> (Esp.). <em>Z. cynarae</em> (Esp.). <em>Z ephialtes</em> (L.). <em>Z. osterndensis</em> Reiss and <em>Z. trifolii</em> (Esp.)) observed in the Pieniny Mts. in 1950-1960 are extinct. The decrease in the number of <em>Zygaena</em> species and in the size of their populations in the Pieniny Mts. and other regions of this country is caused by changes occurring in biotopes. The dying-out of moths and butterflies in the Pieniny Mts. can be stopped by a conservation of the biotopes characteristic of this region: the overgrowth of clearings and xerothermic plant associations should be prevented, meadows should be mown late in summer (August) and the use of mineral fertilizers_ and insecticides and herbicides should be reduced to a minimum in the Pieniny National Park and at its borders.

In the years 1996- 1998, the occurrence of microscopic fungus-like organisms and fungi in plant associations of seven permanent plots of the Słowiński National Park, Poland, was investigated. The plant associations included <i>Betuletum pubescentis,Betulo-Quercetum roboris, Cirsio-Polygoneum, Filipendulo-Geronietum, Myrico-Salicetum auritae, Phragmitetum australis</i>, and <i>Ribo nigri-Alnetum</i>. A total of 1509 plant samples representing 272 species in 48 families were collected. Three hundred and ten species in 79 genera of fungus-like organisms and fungi were found. Most species were recognized in the warmer and more humid year 1998. The highest number of species represented mitosporic fungi, and the lowest came from the phylum Oomycota. The fungi relatively frequently found also were those of Basidiomycota. The greatest diversity of species of the microorganisms was revealed in the <i>Cirsio-Polygonetum</i> and <i>Filipendulo-Geranietum plant associations.

Two New Species

The Fray Jorge National park contains the northernmost temperate relict forest of Chile (30º40’S), located over 1000 kilometers north of the rest of the coastal Aextoxicon punctatum (olivillo) communities of southern Chile. In this work we describe two new species of moths in the Fray Jorge relict forest belonging to the genera Hasodima Butler 1882 and Euclidiodes Warren 1895: H. ediliacarmenae Parra sp. nov. and E. frayjorgeana Parra sp. nov. The sister species of these new taxa are distributed in the central-southern zone of Chile, in plant associations where the olivillo is present. We hypothesize that the ancestor from which these species derived was widely distributed in association with coastal “olivillo” forests, which became restricted in distribution during interglacial periods, resulting in the isolation of these insects’ populations, and their subsequent speciation.

The introduction of alien species can carry negative consequences to the areas in which they appear. Early detection of introduced species is key if management practices are to be effectively implemented. Here, based on specimens from collections and citizen science observations, we document the recent introduction of two alien Heteroptera (Insecta: Hemiptera) species in Colombia: Brachyplatys subaenus (Westwood, 1837) (Plataspidae) and Thaumastocoris peregrinus Carpintero & Dellapé, 2006 (Thaumastocoridae). Brachyplatys subaenus was found in two localities (Bolívar and Valle del Cauca), whereas T. peregrinus was found in a single locality (Bogotá) so far. Future research activities should establish the geographic range of these species, as well as document their host plant associations, in Colombia.
