    Notes: Moisture and treading treatments were imposed on intact turves that were relocated to a glasshouse after being removed from three hill pastures of different soil fertility in the North Island of New Zealand. The experiment consisted of a 2-month stress phase, where the treatments were wetting (W), wetting and treading (WT), drying (D) and control (C). In this phase, herbage accumulation rate, tiller density and leaf extension rate were lower on the D turves, and herbage accumulation rate and tiller density were lower on the WT turves than for the C turves. Herbage accumulation rate was higher on the W treatment than on the C treatment.In the 2-month recovery phase, herbage accumulation rate and leaf extension rate on the D turves were higher than those of the C treatment. Herbage accumulation rate and tiller density took longer to recover on the WT turves but by the end of the recovery period tiller density on these turves exceeded that of the C turves and the original tiller densities on the WT turves. Changes (increase or decrease) in leaf extension rate were associated with the W treatment and tiller density with the WT treatment. Moisture was limiting on the D and C turves, but on the W and WT turves, where moisture was adequate for plant growth, nutrients were limiting, notably phosphorus on the W and WT turves and sulphur on the W turves.The D treatment turves recovered very quickly once the stress was removed but the WT turves were slower to recover. Under the experimental conditions applied, the hill pasture turves were more resilient to the drying treatment than the wetting and treading treatment.

    Notes: A small-plot field experiment on grazed hill country pastures in the North Island of New Zealand was conducted to examine the productivity and compositional characteristics of swards in response to variation in pasture species diversity. The balanced incomplete factorial design incorporated variation in location, slope, soil fertility and combinations of eight plant functional groups (C4 grasses, annual grasses, annual legumes, perennial C3 grasses, perennial legumes, perennial forbs, ryegrass and browntop). Net herbage accumulation and botanical composition were measured at 18 months (spring) and 24 months (autumn) after oversowing following application of a systemic herbicide. Analysis of variance indicated a significant positive relationship between the number of functional groups sown and herbage accumulation of the sown species in spring, but not with total herbage accumulation. Regression analysis showed that herbage accumulation was also affected by the identity of the functional groups. However, the statistical models indicated that pasture productivity was most strongly influenced by site factors. There was a significant negative relationship between both the number and herbage accumulation of unsown species and the number of functional groups sown, indicating a positive relationship between diversity and resistance to invasion by unsown species. A comparison of the vegetation between the plots before and after oversowing showed that those more diverse prior to sowing returned to their initial composition more rapidly, evidence that diverse vegetation was more resilient in the face of disturbance.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommaire En septembre 1950, au cours d'une visite à El Hamma, oasis au sud de la Tunisie, 714 spécimens appartenant au genre Thermosbaena mirabilis Monod furent récoltés dans deux bassins alimentés par des sources thermales, Ain el Bordj, source typique, et Ain Sidi Abd el Kadar, où jamais encore de tels échantillons n'avaient été trouvés. Cette collection comprenait: 164 mâles, 123 femelles (73 stériles et 50 avec poches reproductrices) et 94 non-adultes. Malheureusement 333 de ces animaux furent perdus durant le voyage de retour. Thermosbaena vit dans une eau chaude et saumâtre, elle peut survivre à des temperatures variant de 37° à 47° C., mais elle commence à s'éteindre aux environs de 35° et meurt aux approches de 30° C. Une recherche pour trouver Thermosbaena fut entreprise, non seulement dans les deux bassins à El Hamma, mais aussi dans 14 puits et sources disséminés sur une large étendue autour d'El Hamma et de Gabès, ainsi que dans la rivière El Hamma dont des échantillons furent analysés. Rien ne fut trouvé en dehors des deux sources mentionnées en premier lieu. On suppose que ces animaux habitent certains interstices dans les fonds des sources thermales d'El Hamma, et qu'ils y ont été trouvés, non pas parce que amenés la par l'écoulement des eaux, mais parce que le collectionneur eut la chance d'acceder à leur terrain d'habitat. Il est raisonnable de croire que les 3 espèces de Monodella trouvées sur les côtes d'Italie et de Yougoslavie (M. stygicola, M. argentarii, et M. halophila) sont aussi du genre habitant des interstices et qu' un ancien habitat, dans les fonds de cette partie de la Mer mésogéenne (Tethys) maintenant réprénté par la Méditerranée était commun à tous les membres des thermosbenacés. L'histoire paléogéographique du Mésogée dans les régions nord-africaines, italiennes, et yougoslaves est en discussion et on formule deux hypothèses pour expliquer le présent habitat de Thermosbaena. La première considérait l'organisme comme un legs de la retraite finale du Mésogée depuis la Tunisie méridionale dans l'Eocène inférieure. La seconde envisage l'établissement d'une réserve ancestrale dans un lac se trouvant près d'El Hamma à une époque où un relèvement du niveau de la Méditerranée avait converti le lac en un lagon saumâtre. Ensuite ce lac s'est asséché pour former l'actuel Chott Djerid et on formule la suggestion que les Thermosbaena ont colonisé l'eau thermale saumâtre à El Hamma comme mesure de survie devant l'eau de plus en plus salée du chott en voie de dévéloppement. La deuxième hypothèse est estimée comme la plus plausible. On considère que la position sur la côte de l'espèce Monodella, dans la mesure où elle a été découverte, indique une colonisation comparativement récente partant du lit de la Méditerranée par l'intermédiaire des eaux littoraux. On souligne, cependant, que l'histoire paléogéographique de l'Italie et de la Yougoslave fait de la trouvaille d'espèces non encore découvertes dans l'Italie et l'intérieur des Balkans une possibilité distincte, les organismes persistant comme survivants d'eau douce ou saumâtre de la regression mésogéene qui suivit le Pliocène. La position systématique des thermosbenacés a été mise au point au cours de trauvaux récents, et l'on arrive à conclure que la position intermédiaire de l'ordre entre la Peracarida et la Syncarida, comme suggeré par Taramelli (1954), ou les affinités stomatopodéennes au groupe suggeré par Glaessner (1957) signifient peu de choses. Il semblerait que ces résidus malacostracéens devraient être inclus à la Peracarida ou placés dans une position pré-peracaridéenne, comme le recommande Siewing (1956, 1958), mais établir que les thermosbenacés sont une branche nouvelle Pancarida (Siewing, 1958) à un rang semblable à la Peracarida, serait certainement une conclusion prematurée.
    Notes: Summary The oasis of El Hamma, southern Tunisia, was visited in September 1950 and 714 specimens of Thermosbaena mirabilis Monod were collected from two baths fed by hot-springs, Ain el Bordj, the type-source, and Ain Sidi Abd el Kadar where the animal had not previously been recorded. The specimens consisted of 164 males, 123 females (73 non-breeding; 50 with brood-pouches), and 94 juveniles; 333 specimens were unfortunately lost on the return journey. Thermosbaena lives in warm brackish water and can survive temperatures fluctuating between 37° and 47° C. but becomes moribund around 35° and dies around 30° C. Apart from examining the springs and baths at El Hamma, a search was made for Thermosbaena in 14 wells and 11 springs scattered over a wide area around El Hamma and Gabès; the River El Hamma was also sampled. The search proved negative in all but the two El Hamma baths already specified. It is suggested that the animal occupies an interstitial habitat in the thermal ground-water at El Hamma, and that it has been collected in the baths not because it has been brought there by the springs flowing into them (as previously believed), but because in the baths the collector has by chance had access to the interstitial habitat. There are grounds for believing that the three species of Monodella discovered on the Italian and Yugoslavian coasts (M. stygicola, M. argentarii, and M. halophila) are also interstitial forms, and that an ancestral habitat in the sea-bed of that part of the Mesogean (Tethys) Sea now represented by the Mediterranean was common to all members of the Thermosbaenacea. The palaeogeographic history of the Mesogean in the North African, Italian, and Yugoslavian areas is discussed and two hypotheses are formulated to account for the present-day habitat of Thermosbaena. The first would regard the organism as a legacy from the final retreat of the Mesogean from southern Tunisia in the lower Eocene. The second envisages the establishment of ancestral stock in a lake lying nearby El Hamma at a time during the Quaternary when a rise in the level of the Mediterranean had converted the lake into a brackish lagoon. This lake subsequently dried out to form the present-day Chott Djerid and it is suggested that Thermosbaena colonized the thermal brackish ground-water at El Hamma as a measure of survival in face of the increasingly saline ground-water of the developing chott. The second hypothesis is regarded as the most plausible. It is considered that the coastal locations of the Monodella species so far discovered indicate a comparatively recent colonization from the sea-bed of the Mediterranean via littoral ground-water. It is pointed out, however, that the palaeogeographic history of Italy and Yugoslavia renders the occurrence of as yet undiscovered species in the Italian and Balkan interior a distinct possibility, the organisms persisting as freshwater or brackish survivors of the Mesogean regression which followed the Pliocene. The systematic position of the Thermosbaenacea is reviewed in the light of recent work and it is concluded that little significance should be attached to the intermediate position of the order between the Peracarida and Syncarida suggested by Taramelli (1954), or to the stomatopodan affinities of the group suggested by Glaessner (1957). It would appear that these relict malacostracans should either be included in the Peracarida, or placed in a pre-peracaridan position as advocated by Siewing (1956, 1958), but the inclusion of the Thermosbaenacea in a new division Pancarida (Siewing, 1958), equivalent in rank to the Peracarida, is clearly premature.
