    Notes: Abstract This paper examines the effects of sheep and insect grazing on the generation of natural gaps in turf and the establishment of seedlings therein. The site is on an old field on limestone. There were five sheep grazing treatments: ungrazed, and grazed briefly in spring, briefly in autumn, in autumn or in summer and autumn. The first three of these treatments also contained plots in which insecticide was applied regularly during the growing season. Pins of increasing size (1.6 mm–12.8 mm diameter) were lowered at grid intersections in permanent quadrats to record gap type and the occurrence of seedlings on seven dates over 15 months. Heavily-grazed plots had more bare ground in spring and more herb seedlings established in them. Seedlings of annual species of Bromus were able to establish in gaps (bare ground and litter) of smaller size than was required by herb seedlings (which had much smaller seeds). The use of an insecticide increased seedling establishment in October in ungrazed and in spring-grazed paddocks but decreased it in autumn-grazed paddocks. This may indicate the greater importance of insect herbivory in making gaps in the matted sward of autumn-grazed plots. Seedlings which established in October 1986 and March 1987 were more likely to die than those establishing earlier in 1986. This may be because of winter-kill and especially vigorous spring vegetation growth respectively. Seedling mortality was not affected by gap size or grazing treatment (unless such effects operated before we detected the seedlings).

    Notes: Abstract Let E(n) be the lie group of proper rigid motions of Euclidean n-space. The paper is concerned with the adjoint action of E(n) on its Lie algebra e(n), and the induced action on the Grassmannian of subspaces of e(n) of a given dimension. For the adjoint action, the authors list explicit generators for the ring of invariant polynomials. In the case n=3, of greatest physical interest, explicit finite invariant stratifications are given for the Grassmannians, providing a formal listing of the screw-systems familiar in theoretical kinematics.

    Notes: Abstract LetE(3) be the Lie group of proper rigid motions of Euclidean 3-space. The adjoint action ofE(3) on its Lie algebrae(3) induces an action on the Grassmannian of subspaces of given dimensiond. Projectively, these subspaces are the screw systems of classical kinematics. The authors show that existing classifications of screw systems give rise to Whitney regular stratifications of the Grassmannians, and establish diagrams of specialisations for the strata. A list is given of the screw systems which can appear generically for motions of 3-space with at most three degrees of freedom.
