Abstract:
The fires of summer 2003 in south-eastern Australia burnt tens of thousands of hectares of treeless alpine landscape. Here, we examine the environmental impact of these fires, using data from the Bogong High Plains area of Victoria, and the Snowy Mountains region of New South Wales. Historical and biophysical evidence suggests that in Australian alpine environments, extensive fires occur only in periods of extended regional drought, and when severe local fire weather coincides with multiple ignitions in the surrounding montane forests. Dendrochronological evidence indicates that large fires have occurred approximately every 50–100 years over the past 400 years. Post-fire monitoring of vegetation in grasslands and heathlands indicates that most alpine species regenerate rapidly after fire, with >90% of species present 1 year after fire. Some keystone species in some plant communities, however, had not regenerated after 3 years. The responses of alpine fauna to the 2003 fires were variable. The core habitat (closed heathland) of several vulnerable small mammals was extensively burnt. Some mammals experienced substantial falls in populations, others experienced substantial increases. Unburnt patches of vegetation are critical to faunal recovery from fire. There was, however, no evidence of local extinction. We conclude that infrequent extensive fires are a feature of alpine Australia. For both the flora and fauna, there is no quantitative evidence that the 2003 fires were an ecological disaster, and we conclude that the flora and fauna of alpine Australia are highly resilient to infrequent, large, intense fires.

Abstract:
New Zealand’s soil biota is diverse and unusual, and has high levels of species endemism. Soil microarthropods are the major (and least studied) part of NZ land fauna, yet changes in their biodiversity are often difficult to quantify, because the baseline data are lacking. Data on alpine fauna and flora are a priority in preserving NZ biological heritage, as they are vulnerable to range contraction and higher-altitude displacement due to climate warming. In this presentation we briefly summarize the gaps and challenges in our knowledge of NZ alpine invertebrate biodiversity. The patterns in diversity and community structure of soil Oribatida in the alpine zone vs. upland forests are discussed using spatially-explicit data from several alpine regions of the South Island. Focusing on environmental and spatial analysis, we answer several questions: 1) is alpine plant diversity a significant driver for oribatid species diversity in the high alpine, and if not, what is? 2) Did limited dispersal and habitat fragmentation during Pliocene mountain building and Pleistocene glaciation produce regionally unique alpine communities, or is the alpine fauna a generic depauperate fragment of communities below treeline? 3) What is the scale of species turnover patterns across the alpine landscape? There is also an interesting opportunity to compare oribatid communities of alpine New Zealand with those bearing similar ecophysiological challenges in the Northern Hemisphere.

Abstract:
The Flora and Fauna Protection Area (Área de Protección de Flora y Fauna—ÁPFF) Cerro del Mohinora, is the highest mountain in northern Mexico, reaching an elevation of 3,300 meters. It constitutes one of the last high-elevation islands of alpine and subalpine vegetation known in the Sierra Madre Occidental, in the extreme southwestern part of Chihuahua. The ÁPFF Cerro del Mohinora is located near the state border and limits with Durango and Sinaloa. This type of ecosystem located at high altitudes is in danger of disappearing since only 1% or less of its original extension remains; it is considered a refuge for species with boreal affinities (McDonald et al. 2011).

Abstract:
The Salpetermosen area in north-east Sjælland, Denmark, was deglaciated about 18 000 to 17 000 years ago. Melting of bodies of stagnant glacier ice led to the for-mation of kettle holes, which contain Lateglacial and Holocene sediments with remains of plants and animals that provide information on the past flora and fauna of the area. During the Allerød period, open forests with Betula pubescens (downy birch) characterised the area, the flora included light-demanding species such as Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (bearberry), Empetrum nigrum (crowberry) and rare Populus tremula (aspen), Betula nana (dwarf birch) and Rubus saxatilis (stone bramble), as well as the thermophilous swamp plant Oenanthe aquatica (fine-leaved water dropwort). During the Younger Dryas, the vegetation was characterised by dwarf-shrub heaths dominated by Betula nana, but including Dryas octopetala (mountain avens), Salix herbacea (least willow), Arctostaphylos alpina (alpine bearberry,) and rare Betula pube-scens, as well as the thermophilous plants Urtica dioeca (stinging nettle) and Lychnis flos-cuculi (ragged robin). The Early Holocene forests were dominated by Betula pubescens, Populus tremula and Pinus sylvestris (scots pine), but included rare Betula nana. Alnus glutinosa (alder) arrived at c. 10 000 cal. years BP. The calciphilous sedge Cladium mariscus (fen-sedge) and the macrolimnophyte Najas marina (spiny naiad) were common. The Late Holocene flora included the acidophilous plant Scheuchzeria palustris (rannoch-rush).

Abstract:
Uludağ is the highest mountain (2.543 m) of the Marmara region in Bursa Province, western Turkey. The Uludağ National Park has rich biodiversity in terms of fauna and flora. Habitats of the park range from maquis on the lower slopes, through deciduous woodland and beech and fir forest to alpine meadows at the highest elevations. The first earthworm records from the Uludağ Mountain were done by Zicsi (1973). His work was continued by Omodeo and Rota (1989, 1991). Species records in these works were based on limited sampling. The current study is the first comprehensive study of earthworms in the Uludağ Mountain area.

Abstract:
The forests of Papua are large enough to support a diverse range of flora and fauna and other natural resources such as mining materials. PT-Freeport Indonesia, one of the world's largest mining companies, has an ex-mining area (tailing) managed as a reclamation area. Regular biotic and abiotic factor interactions will aid in the success of reclamation efforts. Soil organisms, which act as decomposers, are biotic factors that contribute to soil fertility and bioindicator. Collembola is a soil microorganism that is very important in marginal soils and can help soil fertility naturally. This study aims to assess the differences between the Collembola communities in the tailings and plantation areas. The method employs a literature review, which refers to a literature review, and it uses secondary data from the PT-Freeport Indonesia Biodiversity and Reclamation Sub Division. Collembola population and diversity are classified as low in the tailings area, presumably due to limiting factors for the sub-alpine and alpine ecosystem types, making it longer. Unlike in the tailing area, the Collembola population and diversity are classified as moderate to high in the plantation area because of litter availability as a source of nutrients for Collembola activities.

Abstract:
Taking the west slope of Cangshan Mountain in Yangbi County, Dali as the research site, on the basis of investigating the local natural geographical conditions, topography and biodiversity status of Cangshan Mountain, the CAP protection action planning method was adopted, and the priority protection objects were determined to be native forest vegetation, rare and endangered flora and fauna, alpine vertical ecosystems, hard-leaf evergreen broad-leaved forests and cold-tempered coniferous forests; The main threat factors were commercial collection, tourism development and overgrazing. Biodiversity conservation on the western slope of Cangshan Mountain should take species as “point”, regional boundary as “line”, ecosystem and landscape system as “plane”, so as to realize the overall planning structure system combining “point—line—plane”, which can be divided into conservation core area, buffer zone and experimental area. The results can provide a reference for biodiversity conservation on the western slope of Cangshan Mountain.

Abstract:
The primary objective of this thesis is to identify patterns of appearance among the flora and fauna of selected eighteenth-century New Spanish casta paintings. The objectives of the thesis are to determine what types of flora and fauna are present within selected casta paintings, whether the flora and fauna's provenance is Spanish or Mexican and whether there are any potential associations of particular flora and fauna with the races being depicted in the same composition. I focus my flora and fauna research on three sets of casta paintings produced between 1750 and 1800: Miguel Cabrera's 1763 series, José Joaquín Magón's 1770 casta paintings, and Andrés de Islas' 1774 sequence. Although the paintings fall into the same genre and within a period of a little over a decade, they nevertheless offer different visions of New Spain's natural bounty and include objects designed to satisfy Europe's interest in the exotic.

El estudio de sistemas léxicos etnobiológicos de las distintas lenguas del mundo es un campo atractivo de investigación para diversas especialidades, principalmente aquellas vinculadas con la biología y la lingüística. Dentro de esta última, el interés se ha centrado en el reconocimiento de procesos formativos de palabras y en el análisis de la riqueza semántica que presenta el complejo sistema de nominación de las especies biológicas. En este contexto, esta investigación desarrolla, desde la semántica cognitiva, el estudio de las nominaciones de plantas y animales (esencialmente binomios de estructura nombre-nombre) en la lengua amazónica awajún hablada por la comunidad de Morroyacu de la región peruana de San Martín. El análisis de los binomios que conforman el corpus reveló que, en awajún, hay mecanismos predominantes que subyacen a la producción léxica etnobiológica, como la metáfora de semejanza y la metonimia. Justamente, la metonimia se presenta fructífera y altamente variada (causa por efecto, hábitat por habitante, objeto empleado por empleador, entre otras) para nominar plantas y animales que hay en el entorno de la comunidad. Además de estos procesos representativos, resultó clave incluir el conocimiento experiencial y cultural (narraciones, creencias, tradiciones) de los hablantes, por cuanto constituyen datos que intervienen en la nominación del léxico etnobiológico.

Abstract:
Late Middle Eocene time marks one of the most dynamic periods of the Paleogene in the western interior of North America. Analysis of an extensive, new collection of plant, invertebrate, and vertebrae fossils from the Uinta Formation in the Uinta Basin, south of Myton, Utah, USA, provides evidence of environmental change. Paleobotanical specimens are preserved in late stage Uinta Lake sediments and coarse-grained fluvial sediments which are stratigraphically 650 to 660 m above the Green River Formation. Deposition rates estimates of 18 to 55 cm/kyr, for Uinta Lake sediments in the Uinta Basin suggest a period of 1.18 Ma to 3.69 Ma to deposit the thick section of lacustrine and fluvial sediments that separates the well-documented Green River Flora from this new fossil leaf assemblage, the Wells Draw flora. Prolific invertebrate trace fossils and invertebrates have a preference for areas with high to fluctuating water tables and soil moistures. The trace fossils are similar to traces of extant invertebrates found in temperate to tropical climates. A variety of reptiles, namely eight species of turtles/tortoise, one lizard (first report of Saniwa from the Uinta Formation), and at least two crocodilian species, are indicative of warm-temperate to subtropical climatic zones. Flow direction data derived from sedimentary structures in sandstone channel-fills confirms previous studies which indicate the major sediment source area was to the east with a prevailing westward to northwestward flow direction. The presence of higher elevation plant material within the flora, however, implies possible hydraulic transport from the nearby Uinta Mountain highlands, located north of the basin. The first report of Palmoxylon from the Uinta Formation, included in this report, corroborates the faunal indicators of a tropical climate. Physiognomical analysis of the flora yields a mean annual temperature (MAT) of 16.1◦C and a mean annual precipitation (MAP) of 56 cm. Compared with older Green River flora, these new data suggest a slight drying and cooling trend toward the end of the Eocene. Leaf types also indicate possible seasonality with seasonally dry periods and an overall warm-temperate environment with extreme minima temperatures not much below freezing.

Abstract:
As lavouras de arroz são consideradas áreas úmidas artificiais e produzem uma grande quantidade de alimento ao redor do mundo. Estes agroecossistemas são comparados às áreas úmidas naturais, uma vez que são caracterizadas como ambientes altamente produtivos com potencial para conservação da biodiversidade, principalmente de aves e anfíbios. A coluna d’água presente durante a fase alagada do ciclo do cultivo do arroz contempla uma gama de organismos importantes como cicladores de nutrientes. Neste sentido, o estudo tem por objetivo descrever as mudanças que ocorrem na estrutura e composição da comunidade planctônica na coluna d’água de uma lavoura de arroz durante um ciclo de cultivo, considerando o tempo de irrigação da lavoura. Para tanto, foram coletadas amostras de água uma vez por semana nos quadros de uma lavoura de arroz comercial cultivada com plantio direto e localizada em Charqueadas, RS, durante a safra agrícola 2013/2014, totalizando 11 campanhas amostrais. Foram avaliadas as características químicas e físicas da água de irrigação, a composição do fitoplâncton e zooplâncton e as alterações na cobertura das plantas e da lâmina de água. As medições demonstraram que os teores dos parâmetros selecionados para a caracterização limnológica da lavoura se mostraram amplamente variáveis, com exceção do pH, temperatura e turbidez. Este último, no entanto, juntamente com os parâmetros nitrato, condutividade, nitrogênio amoniacal e matéria orgânica apresentaram altos teores e estiveram associados ao período inicial de irrigação (até 26 dias), provavelmente devido ao distúrbio do solo, aplicação de ureia e processos de decomposição de macrófitas aquáticas. A composição fitoplanctônica demonstrou a predominância de organismos pertencentes às classes Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Euglenophyceae, Zygnemaphyceae e Cyanobacteria. No entanto, Zygnemaphyceae foi a classe dominante em termos de biomassa, embora tenha ocorrido um aumento da biomassa das espécies pertencentes à classe Bacillariophyceae uma vez que esta classe contempla mais espécies metafíticas. Gêneros característicos de ambientes eutróficos, tais como Scenedesmus, Trachelomonas e Nitzschia foram dominantes em termos de abundância. A biomassa de cianobactérias foi mais representativa no período final de cultivo provavelmente devido aos altos teores de fósforo e menor disponibilidade de luz. Quanto ao zooplâncton, os rotíferos e as formas juvenis de copépodos foram dominantes durante todo o ciclo do cultivo. Espécies dos gêneros tais como Polyarthra, Keratella, Brachionus e Trichocerca comuns em ambientes eutróficos, foram dominantes em termos de densidade. Embora a condição nutricional da água tenha influenciado a estrutura das comunidades planctônicas, o desenvolvimento da planta de arroz ao longo do ciclo tornou o ambiente mais complexo, o que também pode ter ocasionado alterações na composição destas comunidades. O período pós-perfilhamento representou uma fase de transição nas dinâmicas das populações através da diminuição da incidência de luz e aumento de nichos. A influência positiva do nitrato e da luz sugere que o mecanismo ascendente foi mais importante para a estruturação da comunidade fitoplanctônica. A interação entre as comunidades planctônicas sugerem que o consumo por herbivoria não foi limitado pela produtividade primária.
The rice fields are considered artificial wetlands and produce a lot of food around the world. These agricultural ecosystems are compared with natural wetland, since they are characterized as highly productive environments with the potential for conservation of biodiversity, especially of birds, and amphibians. The water column during the flooded phase of the rice cultivation cycle includes a range of important organisms such as nutrient cyclers. In this sense, the study aims to describe the changes taking place in the structure and composition of the plankton community in the water column of a rice crop during a crop cycle, considering the time of crop irrigation. To this end, water samples were collected once a week in the plots of a commercial rice crop, located in Charqueadas RS, during the 2013/2014 harvest, totaling 11 sampling campaigns. The chemical and physical characteristics of the irrigation water, the composition of the phytoplankton and zooplankton, changes in the canopy of the plants and the water layer depth, were evaluated. Measurements have shown that the concentrations of the selected parameters for the limnological characterization of tillage displayed widely variability, except for pH, temperature and turbidity. The latter, however, together with nitrate, conductivity, ammonia nitrogen and organic matter parameters showed high concentrations and have been associated with the initial irrigation period (until 26 days), probably due to disturbance of the soil, urea application and processes of decomposition of aquatic weeds. The phytoplankton composition demonstrated the predominance of organisms belonging to classes Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Euglenophyceae, Zygnemaphyceae and Cyanobacteria. However, Zygnemaphyceae was the dominant class in terms of biomass, although there was an increase in the biomass of species of the class Bacillariophyceae, since this class include more metaphytic species. Genres characteristic of eutrophic environments such as Scenedesmus, Trachelomonas and Nitzschia were dominant in terms of abundance. The biomass of cyanobacteria was more representative in the late cultivation period is likely due to high concentrations of phosphorus and low light availability. Regarding zooplankton, the rotifers and juvenile forms of copepods were dominant throughout the growing cycle. Species of the genera such as Polyarthra, Keratella, Brachionus and Trichocerca, common in eutrophic environments, were dominant in terms of density. Although the nutritional status of water has influenced the structure of plankton communities, the development of the rice plant throughout the cycle became the environment more complex, which may also have caused changes in the composition of these communities. The tillering period represented a transitional phase on the population dynamics by decreasing the incidence of light and increase niches. The positive influence of nitrate and light suggests that the mechanism bottom up was more important to the structure of the phytoplankton community. The interaction between the planktonic communities suggest that consumption by herbivores was not limited by primary productivity.
