Relic Population

In the territory of Poland, <em>Rubus chamaemorus </em>is a rare glacial relict. Its localities known to date were in the northern part of the country and in the Sudeten Mountains. In 2002, a new locality of this species was discovered in the Orawa-Nowy Targ basin in the Carpathians. It is the southernmost locality in the European distribution area of this species. <em>Rubus chamaemorus </em>grows there on a raised bog in communities of the Oxycocco-Sphagnetea class. The spatial structure of the population depends on microhabitats reflecting the hummock-hollow structure of the peatbog.

The Brodno section — a potential regional stratotype of the Jurassic/Cretaceous boundary (Western Carpathians) Compared to coeval successions from the Carpathians, the continuous Jurassic-Cretaceous (J/K) pelagic limestone succession of the Brodno section offers the best possibility to document the J/K passage in a wide area. This section comprises a complete calpionellid, and nannofossil stratigraphic record, that supports the older paleomagnetic data. Moreover, the sequence stratigraphy and stable isotope (δ18O, δ13C) data gave important results, too, enabling comparison with known key sections from the Mediterranean Tethys area.

<em>Bacidia fuscoviridis</em> and <em>Bacidina brandii</em>, two lichen-forming fungi, are reported from Poland. <em>Bacidia fuscoviridis</em>, previously known from only one locality in Poland, has been found in several ranges of Western Carpathians on natural rocks as well as on hydrotechnic constructions. The only published collection of <em>Bacidina brandii</em> from Poland was re-examined, and determined as <em>Bacidina sulphurella</em>. In addition to the author’s recent collections, which are new to the Carpathians, <em>B. brandii</em> has been discovered several times in some Polish herbaria in materials labelled as <em>Bacidina phacodes</em>. Illustrated descriptions and taxonomic, ecological, and distributional notes are provided for both species.

Abstract The paper presents an analysis of mountain species occurrence in the Sopotnia Wielka creek, in the Beskid Żywiecki Mts (Western Carpathians, Poland). The list contains 55 plant species, which represent the whole altitudinal spectrum from piedmont to alpine zones (Viola biflora, Mutellina purpurea). The species inhabit mostly moist and wet communities along creek. They represent mainly the Alpic-Central-European distributional type. Three species are endemics for the Carpathians: Aconitum firmum subsp. firmum, Crocus scepusiensis, Dentaria glandulosa.

The paper discusses fungi of 24 glacial relict plants: <em>Arenaria ciliata</em> L. subsp. <em>ciliata, Betula nana</em> L., <em>B. pubescens</em> Ehrh. subsp. carpatica (Willd.) Asch. &amp; Graebn., <em>B. pubescens</em> subsp. <em>czerepanovii</em> (N.I. Orlova) Hämet-Ahti, <em>C. magellanica</em> Lam. subsp. <em>irrigua</em> (Wahlenb.)

Desv., <em>Pedicularis sudetica</em> Willd., <em>Rubus chamaemorus</em> L., <em>Salix herbacea</em> L., <em>S. lapponum</em> L., <em>S. reticulata</em> L., and <em>Saxifraga nivalis</em> L., The work is attempt at application of some fungi (<em>Ascomycota, Chytridiales, Ustilaginales, Uredinales</em>, mitosporic fungi) as guides in vascular plant phytogeography and explanation of the origin of selected glacial relict plants. Parasites and exclusive (specialized) for particular host plant species are the most important fungi for biogeographic analysis. A fungal markers method (FMM) was used. The fungi and host plants for the present study were collected in the mountains and peat bogs of Poland, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Slovakia, Sweden, Russia and Ukraine. Also materials from Austria, Canada, France, Greenland, Korea, Spitsbergen, Switzerland and U.S.A. were examined. A total of 254 taxa of fungi were collected from 1329 localities investigated. Exclusive species of fungi for all examined host plants have been distinguished. Only <em>Dryas octopetala</em> s.l., <em>D. integrifolia, Empetrum nigrum, E. hermaphroditum, Chamaedaphne calyculata</em> and <em>Rubus chamaemorus</em> possess a number of exclusive species sufficient for analysis. In some cases it was possible to define the direction of migration of the host plants (<em>Betula nana, Juncus trifidus, Dryas octopetala</em> s.l.) on the basis of mycological data. For dryads the extremely High Arctic track is more important than the Middle Arctic or Low Arctic ones. The waves of migrants moved from the East via Spitsbergen to-wards Greenland. <em>Dryas octopetala</em> seems to have reached the Carpathians from the West. Relative age of some fungi has been estimated. Wide circumpolar and alpine distribution points out that <em>Isothea rhytismoides</em> (Bab. ex Berk.) Fr. is one of the oldest dryadicolous fungi. The limited ranges of <em>Sphaerotheca volkartii</em> Blumer, <em>Synchytrium cupulatum</em> Thomas, <em>Hypoderma dryadis</em> Nannf.: L. Holm, and <em>Epipolaeum absconditum</em> (Johanson) L. Holm indicate a relatively young age of these species. A four new taxa i.e. <em>Lachnum uralense, Leptosphaentlina sibirica, Melanomma margaretae</em> and <em>Tiarospora pirozynskii</em> are described and illustrated. 27 species arę for the first time reported from Poland.

Five species of lichen-forming fungi not reported yet or rare in the Carpathians have been found during lichenological researches by authors in the Tatra Mts and the Gorce Mts. Of these, Tetramelas chloroleucus has not been recorded in Poland since 19th century and, similarly to Gyalecta russula, has been found for the first time in the Polish part of the Carpathians. Absconditella celata has been discovered in the Polish Western Carpathians. Fellhanera gyrophorica has never been listed before in the Western Carpathians and Epigloea bactrospora in whole Carpathians. Notes on the taxonomy, habitat and worldwide distribution of these species (including maps of their ranges in Europe) are accompanied by photo plates illustrating their morphology and anatomy.

Abstract A dead individual of C. leucodon was found in the Lower Tatra Mts. (Central Slovakia, Western Carpathians). The site is situated in the westernmost part of the main ridge of this mountain range at the altitude of 1,150 m a. s. l. The prevaling habitat is a mountain meadow surrounded by spruce and beach-maple forests. In Central Europe, the species usually occurs in lowland and hilly areas, records above 600 m a. s. l. are very rare. The finding of C. leucodon in the mountain ridge at this extraordinary altitude is the highest documented occurrence of the species in the Western Carpathians and Central Europe as well. It is probably related to expansion of the species range in the recent decades and its spreading to higher altitudes, which is more common at the southern border of its distribution area.

AbstractStenotaenia rhodopensis is a species considered until now as having a Moesian distribution area. The first Carpathian records of the species are presented here from Slovakia and Romania. A survey on the species taxonomical characters is given with redescription based both on the Slovakian and Romanian specimens and on specimens from regions near the type locality in Bulgaria.
