Pollen polymorphism in Thymus capitatus (Lamiaceae)

Polymorphism with respect to size and structural characteristics occurs in pollen grains of several species. Pollen grains of Thymus capitatus (L.) Hoffmans & Link. from three different areas of Greece were collected, and their palynological characteristics were measured. Using light and scanning electron microscopy, a quantification of pollen polymorphism of T. capitatus was achieved by measuring the size and the characteristics of exine sculpture. The measurements were repeated during 3 successive years, and statistical analyses with one-way ANOVA and Duncan’s multiple range test were applied. Results revealed differences in the exine pattern between the locations; also, three palynological characteristics (surface, perimeter, and equatorial diameter) differed statistically. The results clearly indicate that pollen grains of T. capitatus are polymorphic between the sampling areas. The polymorphism has been related to environmental parameters and mainly with water availability. Average rainfall seems to be the main factor contributing to the morphological variation of pollen grains by affecting their size and exine sculpture.

The composition and distribution of the benthic meiofauna assemblages of the Nuevo Gulf (Chubut, Argentina) are described in relation to abiotic variables. The meiofauna and sediment samples were collected in the intertidal zone of four sandy beaches with different anthropic disturbances in June 2005. The samples were obtained at 20 sampling sites using a 2.5 cm diameter core tube at a depth of 10 cm. A total of 13 meiofauna taxa were identified, with the meiofauna being primarily represented by nematodes, gastrotrichs, ciliates and polychaetes and the meiofauna abundances ranging from 1.5 × 10³ to 6.5 × 10³ ind. 10 cm‑2. Univariate (one-way ANOVA test) and multivariate (ANOSIM/MDS test) analyses showed clear dissimilarities in community structures between sites with anthropic effects and those in pristine condition, revealed by the significant differences were found between beaches near to and far way from a city with port activity. The meiofaunal assemblage varied in abundance and diversity, and these changes in the community structure may have been related to environmental gradients on the shore. The BIO‑ENV analysis showed that the redox potential discontinuity depth might be the main factor in the spatial distribution of organisms.

Abstract Pollen morphology of herbarium specimens of four Centranthus species (C. ruber, C. longiflorus, C. kellereri and C. calcitrapae) was studied using LM and SEM. The research aim was to provide data on their pollen characteristics and to evaluate the taxonomic value of these data for species-specific identification. Pollen grains are tricolpate, suboblate to prolate (P/E = 0.81–1.42); medium- or large-sized (P = 49.21–90.44 µm; E = 43.89–93.10 µm). Colpi are long or medium-length, wide at equator, tapered to acute or obtuse ends. Exine sculpture is echinatemicroechinate-nanoechinate; echini (1.00–1.39 µm high) and microechini (0.55–0.98 µm) are conical, with straight or convex sides and acute apices, nanoechini are 0.22–0.46 µm high. Most important characters of taxa diagnostic at species level for the taxonomy are: size of pollen and colpi, exine structure, size of echini and microechini, and pattern of tectum in areas between echini. Pollen grains of C. calcitrapae and C. macrosiphon (sect. Calcitrapa) are generally smaller in size than grains of C. ruber, C. longiflorus and C. kellereri (sect. Centranthus). Pollen of C. kellereri was analysed for the first time in the current study.

This study aimed to obtain a more comprehensive analysis of sulfate concentration of in Sungai Batang Arau, Padang. In addition to concentration profile of sulfate, correlation analysis between sulfate and environmental parameters (flowrate-Q, temperature-T, pH, DO and electrical Conductivity-EC) and spatial variation analysis of sulfate along the river were also performed. The analysis showed sulfate concentration tended to increase from upstream to downstream. Sulfate concentrations ranged from 25.9 to 115.1 mg / L and were below the quality standard (400 mg / L). Spearman Rank Correlation analysis showed a relative strong correlation of sulfate and significant with Q (r=0.581, p=0.000), T (r=0.448, p=0.008), and DHL (r=0.411, p=0.008) and no correlation with pH (r=-0.194, p=0.231) and DO (r=-0.279, p=0.081). Result of spatial analysis with a one-way ANOVA at 95% confidence level indicated that there was no a significant variability of sulfate concentration at the sampling stations (p> 0.05) except for S1 with S7 and S8. Moreover, cluster analysis grouped 8 sampling stations into two clusters, low and moderate polluted, based on similarities of sulfate characteristics. Keywords: Batang Arau, sulfate, correlation analysis, spatial variation analysisABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh gambaran yang lebih lengkap tentang konsentrasi sulfat dan parameter lingkungan (debit, Q; pH, temperatur, T; dissolved oxygen, DO; dan daya hantar listrik, DHL) di Sungai Batang Arau, Padang. Selain menyajikan profil konsentrasi dan membandingkannya dengan baku mutu pada Peraturan Gubernur Sumatera Barat No. 5 Tahun 2008, analisis korelasi antar parameter dan variasi spasial konsentrasi sulfat di sepanjang sungai juga dilakukan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan konsentrasi sulfat cenderung meningkat dari hulu ke hilir sungai begitu juga dengan parameter lingkungan. Nilai konsentrasi sulfat secara rata-rata berada pada rentang 25,9-115,1 mg/L dan berada di bawah baku mutu (400 mg/L). Analisis korelasi Rank Spearman menunjukkan bahwa parameter sulfat berkorelasi cukup kuat dan signifikan dengan Q (r=0,581, p=0,000), T (r=0,448, p=0,008), dan DHL (r=0,411, p=0,008) dan tidak berkorelasi dengan pH (r=-0,194, p=0,231) dan DO (r=-0,279, p=0,081). Analisis spasial dengan one-way ANOVA pada tingkat kepercayaan 95% menunjukkan perbedaan lokasi sampling tidak mengakibatkan perbedaan konsentrasi sulfat yang signifikan (p>0,05), kecuali antara titik S1 dengan S7 dan S8. Lebih lanjut, analisis spasial dengan menggunakan analisis klaster mengelompokkan titik sampling ke dalam dua klaster, yaitu klaster 1 yang terdiri dari titik S1 sampai titik S7 dan klaster 2 (S8) yang menggambarkan perubahan konsentrasi pencemar sulfat dari konsentrasi rendah ke konsentrasi sedang.Kata kunci: Batang Arau, sulfat, analisis korelasi, analisis variasi spasial
