A European warm waters neophyte Shinnersia rivularis — new alien species to the Slovak flora

AbstractShinnersia rivularis is reported as a new alien species of the Slovak flora. The species was found in the catchment water of a thermal spring at a site in Partizánske, part Veľké Bielice (West Slovakia) in 2002. In the year of discovery, plants formed single population of about 30 square metres of water surface of the canal discharging warm water from the spa. Two populations covering the area ca 90 square meters were found in 2007. A brief description of the species is given and its distribution in Central Europe is reviewed. So far, the species has been reported from only three localities in Central Europe, which are distributed in three countries: Austria, Hungary and Germany.

Media Group

Stellaria ruderalis is an annual (semi)ruderal species from the S. media group, which has been recently published by Lepší et al., therefore, its distribution range in Europe is insufficiently known. This paper is based on field exploration of 39 localities of S. media s.l. in the Lviv region, Western Ukraine. The first report of S. ruderalis in Ukraine comes from Dmytre village, where it grows at roadsides and arable field edges in a semiruderal habitat of the alliance Aegopodion podagrariae. As only a single population was found, Stellaria ruderalis is obviously still spreading in Western Ukraine, a fact which was reported already for northern Central Europe. This record represents the northeasternmost locality of the species so far known.

The notion that the nature of a measurement is critical to its outcome is usually associated with quantum phenomena. In this paper, we show that the observed statistical properties are also a function of the measurement technique in the case of simple classical populations. In particular, the measured and intrinsic statistics of a single population may be different, while correlation and transfer of individuals between two populations may be hidden from the observer.

ABSTRACTWith very few exceptions, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in humans is transmitted exclusively from mothers to their offspring, suggesting the presence of a strong evolutionary pressure favoring the exclusion of paternal mtDNA. We have recently shown strong evidence of paternal mtDNA transmission. In these rare situations, males exhibiting biparental mtDNA appear to be limited to transmitting just one of the mtDNA species to their offspring, while females possessing biparental mtDNA populations consistently transmit both populations to their offspring at a very similar heteroplasmy level. The precise biological and genetic factors underlying this unusual transmission event remain unclear. Here, we have examined heteroplasmy levels in various tissues among individuals with biparental inheritance. Our results indicate that individuals with biparental mtDNA have remarkable inter-tissue variability in heteroplasmy level. At the single-cell level, paternal mtDNA heteroplasmy in sperm varies dramatically, and many sperm possess only one of the two mtDNA populations originally in question. These results show a fundamental, parent-of-origin difference in how mtDNA molecules transmit and propagate. This helps explain how a single population of mtDNAs are transmitted from a father possessing two populations of mtDNA molecules, suggesting that some mtDNA populations may be favored over others when transmitted from the father.

The frequency of occurrence of abnormal, three- (or more) needle dwarf shoots of most southern and central European two-needle pine (Pinus) species were studied. No specimens with more than two-needle dwarf shoots were found in a population of P. nigra Arnold subsp. salzmannii (Dunal) Franco from the Iberian Peninsula and in two populations of P. uliginosa Neumann from the Sudeten Mountains in Central Europe. Single specimens were found within one population of P. pinaster Aiton from the Iberian Peninsula and among six populations of P. sylvestris L. from the Iberian Peninsula and Central Europe. Abnormal dwarf shoots mostly with three, but also four, five or six needles were found among 24 of 25 surveyed populations of P. mugo Turra and P. uncinata Ramond. The average frequency of specimens with at least one three-needle dwarf shoot was 24% for P. mugo and 20% for P. uncinata. The frequencies of occurrence varied significantly among studied populations and were highest in samples collected from the upper elevational range limits of the species in the mountains and near the northern limits of their ranges. The frequency of abnormal dwarf shoots in the same populations was significantly high in 2-3 consecutive years. Needles from three-needle dwarf shoots were not significantly shorter than those of two-needle shoots.
