    Notes: Summary The annual growth pattern of male plants of the endemic, dioecious fynbos species, Thamnochortus punctatus, revealed sequential growth of the various below-and above-ground organs. Root and rhizome development were favoured in the wet winter months while culm elongation occurred in the warmer but drier spring to summer period. The reproductive phase of development followed in the hot dry summer and autumn. The asynchronous pattern of growth is suggested to enable the plant to maximize utilization of scarce resources within the confines of the environmental controls determined by the mediterranean-climate. Maximum root and rhizome activity in the rainy season enabled the plant to absorb and store nitrogen in mature culms for later above ground organ development. As the absorption of nitrogen from senscing material is essential for this pattern of organ development to assist in alleviating nutrient scarcity the high degree of nitrogen reabsorption, 35 to 70% for branches and culms respectively, shows the potential importance of asynchronous organ growth in overcoming nitrogen limitation of plant growth. Comparisons of dry mass and nitrogen allocation patterns indicate that developmental strategies employed by evergreen, perennial plants in climatically and edaphically constrained environments cannot be deduced from biomass allocation patterns alone as they do not appear to reflect strategies evolved to overcome nutrient limitation.

    Notes: Abstract Endoparasitic copepods are very numerous in Indo-West Pacific corals. In West Indian corals they were thought to be absent, but recent studies have shown that a varied endoparasitic copepod fauna exists as well. Striking is the taxonomic composition of the coral-inhabiting copepods: In the Indo-West Pacific Lichomolgidae and Xarifiidae are the dominant families, both are absent in the West Indies. On the other hand, Corallovexiidae and Asterocheridae dominate in the West Indies; the former family is absent and the latter is apparently rare and not very diversified in the Indo-West Pacific.

    Notes: Abstract The discovery of a new species ofRhipidogammarus, Rh. nivariae n. sp., in water supply shafts of Tenerife (Canary Islands), presents an interesting biogeographic problem. Up to now, members of the genus were known exclusively from stygohabitats in the peri-Mediterranean belt. Its sister-genus is found in very shallow waters of the Mediterranean, and on morphological grounds the genus seems to have got adapted only fairly recently to continental hypogean waters. The occurrence of a member ofRhipidogammarus on an oceanic island like Tenerife can be explained by one of the following two scenarios: (1) Tenerife is a fragment of the African plate, or (2) the island's volcanic outcrops arose from a very shallow submarine bank and drifted later into deeper waters.

    Notes: Abstract The most prominent beetle-produced volatiles identified in the abdominal extracts of maleDryocoetes confusus Swaine after they had bored for 24 hr in logs of subalpine fir,Abies lasiocarpa (Hook.) Nutt. were:exo andendo-brevicomin,trans-verbenol, verbenone, myrtenol,trans-pinocarveol,cis- andtrans-p-menthen-7-ol, 3-caren-10-ol, and several monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. Myrtenol was the only conspicuous compound in extracts from males that had been exposed toA.lasiocarpa resin volatiles for 24 hr. Laboratory bioassays indicated that both (−)- and (+)-exo-brevicomin were attractive to femaleD. confusus, and that the (−) enantiomer did not inhibit response to its antipode. Results from field trapping experiments indicated that bothero-brevicomin and myrtenol are aggregation pheromones forD. confusus.exo-Brevicomin baits were effective in causing attack byD. confusus on baited and surrounding trees, suggesting that this pheromone may have utility in manipulating populations of the beetle.
