The detection of differences among assemblages of marine benthic species based on an assessment of dominance and diversity

P.J.D. Lambshead, Howard M. Platt, K. M. Shaw · 1 Dec 1983

Summary A criterion for comparing diversity is offered based on dominance patterns involving all the proportional species abundances. The method is applied by plotting percentage cumulative abundance curves. This can reveal that some assemblages cannot be compared in terms of diversity or equitability and that intrinsic diversity indices cannot under these circumstances be relied upon.…

Flower-visiting by hymenopteran parasitoids

Mark A. Jervis, N. A. C. Kidd, M. G. Fitton et al. · 1 Feb 1993

The inflorescences of 53 plant species in a variety of habitats were examined for the presence of adult hymenopteran parasitoids (‘Parasitica’ only), and the wasps observed for feeding behaviour. At inflorescences of 32 of the plant species examined, over 1000 parasitoid individuals were observed displaying feeding behaviour (either feeding at nectaries or displaying behaviour associated…

Collecting and preserving chalcid wasps (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea)

John S. Noyes · 1 Jun 1982

Summary The most profitable ways of collecting chalcids are discussed, namely by sweeping, suction sampler, beating, pyrethrum spray, rearing, Malaise traps, yellow pan traps, suction traps, pitfall traps and extraction from leaf litter or grass tussocks. Methods of preserving chalcids are also outlined, with particular emphasis on storing all unmounted material dry rather than in…

Can we agree on an ecological classification of subterranean animals?

Boris Šket · 1 Jun 2008

That the ties between any obligate subterranean species and the hypogean environment depend on the interplay of a species' own physiological characteristics and all of the ecological characteristics of the adjacent epigean habitat(s), including biotic factors, has been emphasized. The reasons why troglomorphy cannot be included within criteria for classifying cave dwellers have been demonstrated.…

Some flagellates (Protista) from tropical marine sediments

Jacob Aunstrup Larsen, David J. Patterson · 1 Aug 1990

Abstract An account is given of 114 new or otherwise interesting species of benthic marine flagellates from Fiji, Northern Australia (Queensland), Hawaii, Panama and Brazil. Most species are heterotrophs drawn from the euglendis, dinoflagellates, kinetoplastids, bicosoecids, heteroloboseids, and a variety of taxa of uncertain affinities. The work emphasizes the rich variety of protist taxa in…
