Opis:: The paper presents the results of several years investigations (2003-2007) on two invaders: the Himalayans Impatiens glandulifera and Asiatic Reynoutria japonica. The Sudety Mountains and their national parks are under strong pressure of both species, threatening the local vegetation. The four-year investigations have been carried out in field, glasshouse and in laboratory. Invasive species have their peculiar life histories which help them to occupy new areas. Those are above all the specific generative reproduction strategies (Impatiens) or vegetative reproduction strategies (Reynoutria). Both strategies secure the reproductive success and to capture more and more highly situated areas of the mountains. Very significant characteristics connected with the expansion of invaders is the excessively over and above the average production of seeds (Impatiens) and a huge annual increment aboveground biomass (Reynoutria). The investigated invasive species are probably not equipped with influence of allelopatic type as of greater importance is their competitive strength. The invaders can eliminate a part of the early spring flora belonging to the geophyte group and impoverish the regional biological diversity. Both the invasive plants enter also into some moist mountain forest communities.

Opis:: The feeding ecology of the American crab Rhithropanopeus harrisii Gould, 1841 from brackish waters of the Baltic Sea was studied by analyses of the stomach repletion index (SRI) and stomach content with regard to sex, size and habitat (Dead Vistula River and the Gulf of Gdańsk). Neither the sex nor the size of an individual crab had a significant (P>0.05) influence on the SRI or on the diversity of food items found in the stomachs of R. harrisii. But the type of food consumed was significantly (P<0.05) dependent on the locality inhabited: the greater the biodiversity of the habitat, the richer the dietary composition. In Baltic coastal waters this species feeds on detritus, and also on animal and plant matter. Remains of Chlorophyta, Amphipoda, Ostracoda, Polychaeta, Gastropoda and Bivalvia were found in the stomachs of the specimens analysed.

Opis:: In the present study we analysed the mitochondrial intraspecific variation in natural populations of Norway spruce. We used the second intron of the nad1 gene, which contains two polymorphic short tandem repeats. Due to the maternal inheritance of mitochondrial DNA in Norway spruce, the spatial distribution of haplotype DNA allows insights into seed dispersal and artificial seed transfer. A total of 504 trees distributed all over Austria were genotyped, and 9 different haplotypes could be found. A geographical map of the haplotype variation pattern of Picea abies is presented.

Opis:: The variability of pollen grains of 16 species from genus Rosa L. was studied (i.e. Rosa agrestis, R. canina, R. dumalis, R. gallica, R. inodora, R. jundzillii, R. kostrakiewiczii, R. majalis, R. micrantha, R. mollis, R. pendulina, R. rubiginosa, R. sherardii, R. tomentosa, R. villosa, and R. zalana). The material came from 107 native localities of those species in Poland. The measurements are based on at least 30–50 randomly selected mature pollen grains per specimen. In total, 3510 pollen grains were examined. They were analysed for 8 quantitative features, i.e. length of polar axis (P), length of equatorial axis (E), exine thickness on the pole (Exp), exine thickness at the equator plane (Exe), length of ectocolpi (Le), P/E ratio, and relative thickness of exine (Exp/P and Exe/E ratio). Statistically significant differences were found among the examined species with regard to all analysed pollen features. The pollen and ectocolpi dimensions (P, E and Le) were largest in R.gallica (35.9, 28.1, and 28.0 μm, respectively) and smallest in R. majalis (27.0, 20.2, and 21.2 μm, respectively). The mean coefficients of variability of the pollen features measured can be used to arrange the examined rose species from the least to the most variable as follows: R. pendulina, R. villosa, R. jundzillii, R. inodora, R. canina, R. rubiginosa, R. dumalis, R. gallica, R. agrestis , R. micrantha, R. zalana, R. tomentosa, R. sherardii, R. majalis, R. kostrakiewiczii and R. mollis. The obtained data failed to confirm fully both the division of the Rosa genus currently in force in taxonomy into sections as well as relationships among the examined species from the Caninae section. In addition, values of morphological characters of the same species may differ considerably from one another. The extent of these differences indicated that it was necessary to measure large numbers of pollen grains in order to obtain accurate biometric data.

Opis:: W publikacji przedstawiono ocenę zdrowotności drzew przyulicznych (rosnących między jezdnią a chodnikiem) w centrum Opola. Do oceny zdrowotności zastosowano metodę 1. Dudy, obejmującą dwunastostopniową skalę. Zbadano 13 gatunków drzew, z których najliczniejszymi, stanowiącymi 63,8% były: lipa drobnolistna, kasztanowiec pospolity, robinia biała, lipa szerokolistna. Wyróżniono 8 gatunków rodzimych oraz 5 obcych w naszej florze. Wśród badanych obiektów największy udział (78,1 %) miały drzewa w dobrej kondycji zdrowotnej. Drzew w złym i bardzo złym stanie było odpowiednio 19,3% i 2,6%. Wśród gatunków rodzimych stwierdzono 75,7% egzemplarzy w stanie dobrym, 21,0% w złym i 3,3% w bardzo złym. Wśród gatunków obcych w stanie dobrym było 81,4%, złym 16,8% i bardzo złym 1,8%. Z czynników działających negatywnie na stan zdrowotny drzew rozpoznano m.in.: uszkodzenia mechaniczne, chlorozy, patogeny i szkodniki. The publication presents an evaluation ofhealth status of roadside trees (growing between the road and the pavement) in the central part of the city of Opole. To assess the health condition of the trees the method proposed by 1. Duda was used, whereby the health of a tree is assessed in the twelve gradual scale. Among the surveyed trees, 13 species were found, of which the most abundant, constituting 63.8% of the examined group were: TWa cordata, Aesculus hippocastanum, Robinia pseudoacacia, Tilia platyphyllos. Eight native and five alien species in the domestic flora were distinguished. Among the studied objects definitely the largest share - 78.1 % had the trees in good health. The specimens in poor and very poor condition constituted 19.3% and 2.6% respectively. In the group representing the native species oftrees, 75.7% of the specimens in good condition, 21.0% in poor and 3.3% in very poor was noted, while among the alien species 81.4% were in good condition, 16.8% in bad and 1.8% in very poor. Among the factors negalively affecting the health status oftrees, mechanical damages, chloroses, pathogens and pests were identified.

Opis:: Fusarium is a large fungal genus, but scientists who work with it continue to search for new species to help bridge perceived phylogenetic gaps and to assess the biogeography of species origin and distribution. Potential new sources for species include collections made from plants and soil in native ecosystems and ubsistence agriculture farms. These ecosystems are less likely to have suffered anthropomorphic changes and may offer the best hope for identifying previously undescribed species and for obtaining reliable data on species distribution. In addition to new collections, new species also may result from the break-up of a number of large species complexes that are held together primarily by orphological similarities. The two approaches are complementary and should collectively help to increase the number, diversity and quality of the species known within the genus.

Opis:: The morphology of pollen grains of 16 species from the Rosa L. genus were studied (i.e. R. agrestis, R. canina, R. dumalis, R. gallica, R. inodora, R. jundzillii, R. kostrakiewiczii, R. majalis, R. micrantha, R. mollis, R. pendulina, R. rubiginosa, R. sherardii, R. tomentosa, R. villosa, and R. zalana). The material came from 16 native localities of those species in Poland. The measurements are based on at least 30-50 randomly selected, fully developed pollen grains per specimen. In total, 500 pollen grains were examined. They were analysed for 13 quantitative features of pollen grains and exine sculpturing and the following qualitative traits: outline, shape, "operculum" structure. The diagnostic features of pollen grains of studied species were: length of polar and equatorial axes and length of ectocolpi. The above-mentioned pollen grain morphological features make isolation of one species possible: R. gallica. R. gallica is distinguished for its highest values of the length of polar and equatorial axes, and the length of ectocolpi. The obtained analytical results of operculum and exine sculpture features, considered as diagnostic, corroborated only slightly their priority significance for the isolation of the examined species and sections. The collected data failed to confirm fully the current taxonomical division of the Rosa genus into sections (only section Gallicanae from R. gallica is isolated) as well as consanguinity relationships between the examined species from the Caninae section. On the dendrogram, both species closely related with each other as well as those from other developmental lines were found in the same group. These equivocal results are by no means surprising because the Caninae section is the most polymorphic group in the Rosa genus, and contemporary Caninae are of the nature of a swarm of R. canina hybrids as a link combining all taxons of the section.

Opis:: The aim of the study was to characterize and analyze the segetal flora of the Łuków Plain. The study was carried out from 2003 to 2006 in 182 towns and villages. Vascular flora of the arable fields in the area under study consists of 305 species belonging to 39 families and 168 genera. The analysed flora is characterised by the prevalence of native species (64.6%) over alien species (35.4%). Archaeophytes dominate among anthropophytes, whereas meadow species are the most frequent in the group of apophytes. Annuals and biennials show a slight prevalence over perennials. The analysis of the life-form categories shows the dominance of therophytes (52.8%) as well as a relatively high share of hemicryptophytes (34.4%) and geophytes (12.5%). In the analysed flora, rare and very rare species constitute a vast majority (61.7%), whereas the common and very common species reach 13.1%.
Celem pracy była charakterystyka i analiza flory segetalnej Równiny Łukowskiej. Badania prowadzono w latach 2003-2006 na terenie 182 miejscowości. Flora naczyniowa pól uprawnych badanego terenu liczy 305 gatunków należących do 39 rodzin i 168 rodzajów. Na bogactwo gatunkowe ma wpływ zróżnicowanie siedlisk, rozdrobnienie gospodarstw i tradycyjny system gospodarowania. Analizowana flora cechuje się przewagą gatunków rodzimych (64,6%) nad taksonami obcego pochodzenia (35,4%). Wśród antropofitów dominują archeofity (27,2% flory) a z apofitów najczęściej notowano gatunki łąkowe (23,6% flory). Gatunki krótkotrwałe mają niewielką przewagę nad wieloletnimi. W obrębie form życiowych dominują terofity (52,8%), zwłaszcza wśród antropofitów (85,2% gatunków tej grupy), ale stosunkowo dużo jest hemikryptofitów (34,4%) i geofitów (12,5%). W analizowanej florze największy udział mają gatunki bardzo rzadkie i rzadkie (61,6% flory), natomiast pospolitych i bardzo pospolitych jest 13,1%. Cechą charakterystyczną jest liczne występowanie gatunków speirochorycznych związanych z ekstensywnym rolnictwem: Agrostemma githago, Bromus secalinus i Avena strigosa. Z gatunków subatlantyckich częstym taksonem jest Arnoseris minima, rzadkim Anthoxanthum aristatum, a Teesdalea nudicaulis występuje bardzo rzadko na badanym terenie.

Opis:: The potential differentiations in litter chemistry among native and non-native trees are poorly understood. We compared the chemical composition of leaf litterfall of 11 exotic tree species, e.g. coniferous: Abies cephalonica, A. grandis, A. procera, Chamaecyparis pisifera, Pinus peuce, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Thuja plicata, and deciduous: Acer rubrum, A. saccharum, Betula alleghaniensis and Quercus rubra, with that of a native European conifer, Pinus sylvestris (as reference to coniferous species) anda mixture of native European Quercus robur, Carpinus betulus, Tilia cordata, T. platyphyllos and Corylus avellana leaves (as a reference mixture of deciduous species). We found significant differences among the species studied in nitrogen and carbon content in needles/leaves, C/N ratio, as well as total soluble phenolic compounds (TPh) and total nonstructural carbohydrates (TNC) content, including soluble carbohydrates and starch. However, we found no clear differentiation of exotic from native tree species in the analyzed elements and metabolites. Among the exotic coniferous tree species, P. menziesii stood out among the species studied – fallen needles of this species were characterized by relatively high TPh and TNC content. The relationships between TPh and TNC content in leaf and needle litter among tree species were similar among two consecutive years. For deciduous tree species, the tendency of higher TPh content and C/N ratio in leaves falling earlier (September; leaves of sun-type) than later (November; leaves of shade-type) was more distinct than in coniferous tree species. Generally, we cannot see any special differences in the levels or mutual quantitative relationships of the chemical compounds studied in fallen needles/leaves of exotic tree species in comparison with native tree species.

Opis:: The invasive Asiatic freshwater bivalve Corbicula fluminea is regarded as a pest in several countries including Brazil. Two water birds native to South America, the limpkin Aramus guarauna and the common gallinule Gallinula galeata, are herein recorded preying on C. fluminea in a pond of an urban park in South-eastern Brazil. The exotic clam is becoming increasingly common in the diet of both these water birds. This trend is likely due to its increasing population and the consequent rarity of the habitual prey (apple snails and native clams) for the mollusc-specialised limpkin, besides being an accessible animal protein source for the omnivorous gallinule.
