    Notes: Abstract Diversification of habitat has proved to be an efficient way to reduce insect pest levels in agroecosystems. Some general theories used to explain this fact, such as the natural enemies and the resource concentration hypotheses, do not always clearly apply because, in many cases, pest individuals and population response seem controlled by more specific insect-plant interactions. In non replicated plots, we found substantially lower flea beetle densities in mixed broccoli-Vicia cropping systems compared to broccoli monoculture. These results were consistent with those from controlled experiments reported in the literature. To investigate if beetle behavior was related to such population reduction, the movement behavior of marked individuals of Phyllotreta cruciferae Goeze released in plots composed solely of broccoli plants and of broccoli mixed with Vicia faba or Vicia sativa plants, was followed and analyzed. The mean tenure time of beetles was longer in simple than in mixed cultures. Also, more beetles tended to fly out and leave mixed cultures compared to monoculture. This resulted in faster reduction of artificially introduced flea beetle populations in the mixed systems. Flea beetles landing on cover crop plants spent considerable time entangled in Vicia sativa branches or attempting to reach the upper part of the tall Vicia faba plants from which they could fly away. It is possible that the beetles characteristic movement on these two species of cover crops increased their risk of predation and the time and energy expended before they reached suitable host plants. Nevertheless, it seems that the detected flea beetle emigration rates were more than sufficient to account for the population trends observed.

    Notes: Abstract. Lead content was determined in wild growing mushrooms collected from two different areas in the Province of Lugo (NW Spain). It has been analyzed by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry in 95 samples of 13 species (7 mycorrhizals and 6 saprophites). In an assessment of lead concentrations, the following factors have been considered: species and ecology, morphological portion, and traffic pollution. The average lead concentration of the samples was 1 ppm dry weight (dw). Saprophite species presented higher levels than mycorrhizal ones (〈1 ppm), Coprinus comatus reaching the maximum mean concentration with 2.06 and 2.79 ppm of dw in the hymenophore and the rest of the fruit body. Morphological portion, statistically, did not show significant difference between the two portions; however, Macrolepiota procera always presented lead high levels in the hymenophore in all samples. The effect due to traffic pollution has been specially observed in Coprinus comatus, presenting the highest concentration with values of 6.51 and 10.43 ppm, respectively, in samples collected in the city center. This species, as other researchers have indicated, could be considered as an indicator by lead contamination. The contribution of mushrooms to the weekly intake of lead was calculated and the posible health risk for the consumer is pointed out. These data are of great importance in view of toxicology and partly environmental protection.

    Notes: Abstract. The levels of mercury in terrestrial ecosystems are generally very low, but the strong accumulation in some species of macrofungi is an exception from this rule. Mercury contents of 41 samples of edible mushrooms fruiting bodies representing eight species (six wild and two cultivated) were determined by an anodic stripping voltammetric technique (ASV) using a gold disc as the working electrode. Wild fungi were collected in unpolluted and polluted areas in the Province of Lugo (NW Spain). Influence of some factors (ecology, species, traffic pollution, and morphological portion) and the importance of mushrooms as a dietary source of mercury have been studied. Wild saprophytic species showed higher levels (ppm DW) than mycorrhizals species, with the exception of Boletus pinicola. There were significant differences according to the species analyzed (p 〈 0.001), the highest average content of mercury was found in Boletus pinicola (7.37 ppm DW), and the range was 0.35–33.07 ppm DW for hymenophore and 0.18–20.30 ppm DW for the rest of the fruit body. The cultivated species accumulated lower than wild species because the mean life is shorter. The traffic pollution factor did not show significant differences, so mushrooms are not realiable bioindicators of traffic pollution by mercury. Hymenophore was always the morphological portion that contained the highest mercury levels (p 〈 0.05), and the mean ratio of hymenophore/rest of the fruit body was 2.13. The mercury concentrations were compared to literature data and levels set by legislation, and the contribution of mushrooms to the weekly intake of mercury per person was evaluated. The possible health risk for people is pointed out.

    Notes: Abstract During the 1992–1993 oceanographic cruise of the Spanish R/V Hespérides, recording equipment was deployed in the Bransfield Strait. Six Aanderaa RCM7 current meters and three Aanderaa WLR7 tide gauges were successfully recovered after an operation period of 2.5 months. Relevant features of the time series obtained are presented and discussed in this paper. The emphasis is placed on the tidal character of the currents and the relative importance of tidal flow in the general hydrodynamics of the strait. For these purposes a dense grid of hydrographic stations, completed during the BIOANTAR 93 cruise, is used. Preliminary geostrophic calculations relative to a 400 m depth, yield current velocities of around 0.20 m s−1 in the study area, whereas the magnitude of tidal currents is seen to be 0.30-0.40 m s−1.

    Notes: Abstract The Bransfield Strait is one the best-known areas of Antarctica’s oceanic surroundings. In spite of this, the study of the mesoscale variability of its local circulation has been addressed only recently. This paper focuses on the mesoscale structure of local physical oceanographic conditions in the Bransfield Strait during the Austral summer as derived from the BIOANTAR 93 cruise and auxiliary remote sensing data. Moreover, data recovered from moored current meters allow identification of transient mesoscale phenomena.
