Bagworm Moth

Reisseronia annae sp. nov. is described from the province of Upper Silesia in southern Poland. The species is similar to its parthenogenetic relatives Reisseronia imielinella Malkiewicz, Sobczyk & Larysz, 2013 and R. gertrudae Sieder, 1962. The diagnosis of other related congeneric species is provided. The habitat and life history is described.

Abstract Kokowska-Pawłowska, M. and Nowak, J. 2013. Phosphorus minerals in tonstein; coal seam 405 at Sośnica- Makoszowy coal mine, Upper Silesia, southern Poland. Acta Geologica Polonica, 63 (2), 271-281. Warszawa. The paper presents results of research on tonstein, which constitutes an interburden in coal seam 405 at the Sośnica- Makoszowy coal mine, Makoszowy field (mining level 600 m), Upper Silesia, southern Poland. The mineral and chemical compositions of the tonstein differ from the typical compositions described earlier for tonsteins from Upper Silesia Coal Basin area. Additionally, minerals present in the tonsteins include kaolinite, quartz, kaolinitised biotite and feldspars. The presence of the phosphatic minerals apatite and goyazite has been recognized. The presence of gorceixite and crandallite is also possible. The contents of CaO (5.66 wt%) and P2O5 (6.2 wt%) are remarkably high. Analysis of selected trace elements demonstrated high contents of Sr (4937 ppm) and Ba (4300 ppm), related to the phosphatic minerals. On the basis of mineral composition the tonstein has been identified as a crystalline tonstein, transitional to a multiplied one.

The Impact

AbstractRegardless of origin, all water bodies situated inside forests form a unique habitat for many freshwater animals due to the allochthonous detritus covering the bottom, composed mostly of leaves from waterside trees. For many years these woodland ponds have been considered to be advantageous to regional biodiversity. Investigations were carried out in eight anthropogenic woodland ponds, formed as a consequence of coal mining activities, situated in forest complexes in Upper Silesia (Southern Poland), to evaluate the impact of allochthonic and autochthonic plant detritus on the formation of zoobenthic communities, together with insolation intensity. In sites covered by a layer of allochthonic plant matter, zoobenthos were more abundant compared to places covered by autochthonic detritus. The density of zoobenthos in sun-exposed sites was two to three times greater than in shaded sites.

Abstract. Mashkovia is one of the provincial conodonts which developed during late Famennian time in the cratonic regions of Russia. In this study, the taxonomy of this genus is revised, based on diagnostic characters of the Pa elements, such as the morphology of the anterior part of the platform, the ornamentation and the shape of the secondary keels. As a consequence, four species, including M. silesiensis n. sp. now discovered in Upper Silesia of southern Poland, are distinguished. The apparent absence of Mashkovia from North America, Variscan Europe, Australia and Africa cannot be simply explained by using temperature or other global climatic factors as a reason for the provincialism. Currents and/or local palaeoecologic factors were probably more important in controlling the distribution of these conodonts.

Abstract The Moravia-Upper Silesia basin of southern Poland and northern Czechoslovakia is a good example of geosynclinal development. Geosynclinal sedimentation beginning in the Devonian passed gradually without tectonic break into late geosynclinal coal-producing sedimentation. After Asturian (upper Carboniferous) folding, upper Carboniferous and lower Permian sediments were laid down. The migration of subsidence and molasse-type sediments within the geosynclinal system is clearly shown.
