Interventionism and free market in agriculture of Central and Eastern European states before and after accession to EU
No full textW pracy przedstawiono jedną z metod oceny stopnia interwencjonizmu w obszarze rolnictwa. Badanie przeprowadzono dla rolnictwa: Czech, Słowacji, Litwy, Łotwy, Estonii, Polski i Węgier w latach 1997-2013. Punktem wyjścia przeprowadzonych badań była estymacja dwuczynnikowej funkcji CES, a następnie sprawdzenie wiarygodności spełnienia założeń tej estymacji. W wyniku przeprowadzonych badań dowiedziono, że interwencjonizm w rolnictwie prowadzi w większym stopniu do zaburzeń na rynku kapitału trwałego niż siły roboczej.The paper presents one of the methods of assessing the degree of intervention in agriculture. The study was conducted for the agricultural sectors of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, and Hungary in the period 1997-2013. The starting point of the study was to estimate the two-factor CES production function. Then the validity of the assumptions of the estimation was verified. The analysis shows that interventionism in agriculture affects the market of fixed capital to a greater extent than the labour [email protected]ład Historii Gospodarczej, Wydział Historyczny, Uniwersytet im.

Anaspis flavipennis Haldeman
No full textAnaspis flavipennis Haldeman NOVA SCOTIA: 119 specimens examined from Annapolis, Colchester, Cumberland, Guysborough, Halifax, Hants, Lunenburg, Pictou, Queens, and Victoria counties. The earliest records are from 1965 (Lunenburg Co.: Lunenburg, 19.vi. 1965, B. Wright, NSMC; Lunenburg, 20.vi. 1965, NSNR, 2 specimens, NSMC; Lunenburg, 30.vi. 1965, B. Wright, 4 specimens, NSMC). Colchester Co.: Truro, July 26, 19 xx, R. Matheson, Liljeblad (1945). PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND: Queens Co.: St. Patricks, 25.vi. 2003, C.G. Majka, CGMC. Newly recorded in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Although Liljeblad (1945) indicated a specimen from Nova Scotia (above) this record appears to have escaped the attention of LeSage (1991 d) and the species was not included in the Nova Scotia fauna. Larvae of Anaspis occur under loose tree bark (Hatch 1965). In Nova Scotia, found only in coniferous (Picea rubens, P. mariana, Tsuga canadensis, Pinus strobus, and Abies balsamaea) forests.Published as part of Majka, Christopher G. & Pollock, Darren A., 2006, Understanding saproxylic beetles: new records of Tetratomidae, Melandryidae, Synchroidae, and Scraptiidae from the Maritime Provinces of Canada (Coleoptera: Tenebrionoidea), pp. 45-68 in Zootaxa 1248 on pages 60-61, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17297

Ahasverus advena is newly recorded in Atlantic Canada. Th is is a cosmopolitan species that feeds on surface molds such as Penicillium glaucoma and Aspergillus sp. It has been associated with moldy copra, lima beans, pigeon peas, stored grain, fruit, nuts, corn, dried pears, cereals, on damp flour, rice, figs, and apples, in coffee beans, moldy grass, on cured ham and stored oats and decaying soybeans (Thomas 1993).Published as part of Majka, Christopher G., 2008, The flat bark beetles (Coleoptera, Silvanidae, Cucujidae, Laemophloeidae) of Atlantic Canada, pp. 221-238 in ZooKeys 2 (2) on page 228, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.2.14, http://zenodo.org/record/57640
Elaterinae
No full textElaterinae Sericus honestus (Randall, 1838) NOVA SCOTIA: 65 specimens examined from Colchester, Cumberland, Halifax, Hants, Inverness, and Richmond counties. The earliest record is from 1995 (Colchester Co.: Kemptown, 14.vi. 1995, C. Corkum, deciduous forest, flight-intercept trap, NSMC; Nuttby Mt., 14.vi. 1995, C. Corkum, deciduous forest, flightintercept trap, NSMC. Newly recorded in Nova Scotia. Collected in both coniferous and deciduous forests of all ages. Sericus incongruus (LeConte, 1853) PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND: Queens Co.: Pinette, 24.vi. 2003, C.G. Majka, coastal forest, CGMC. Newly recorded from Prince Edward Island. In Nova Scotia collected in red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) and eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carr.) forests of all ages. Reported from forested areas in western Canada by Brooks (1960). In some studies (i.e., Boiteau et al. 2000) the Palaearctic species, Sericus brunneus (Linnaeus, 1758), has also been reported in the region. There is continuing uncertainty as to whether S. incongruous and S. brunneus represent distinct species or a single Holarctic species. Pending further investigation we treat all the specimens from the region as the Nearctic S. incongruus. Megapenthes stigmosus (LeConte, 1853) NOVA SCOTIA: Hants Co.: Mount Uniake, 27.viii. 2004, D. MacDonald, NSNR. Newly recorded in Nova Scotia. A boreal forest species (Becker 1971); predominantly found in poplar forests and parklands; usually collected on dense undergrowth (Brooks 1960). Agriotes pubescens Melsheimer, 1845 This species was reported from New Brunswick by Bousquet (1991), however, no voucher specimens were located in any collection, nor are there published records from the province. Becker (1956, pp. 69) writes that, "in many collections pubescens is confused with quebecensis " and his accompanying range map shows it occurring east only to southern Québec and western Maine. Accordingly, the species is removed from the faunal list of Nova Scotia. Agriotes quebecensis Brown, 1933 PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND: Queens Co.: Wheatly River, 2.vi. 1971, J. MacLeod, on alder, UPEI. Newly recorded from Prince Edward Island. No additional information on bionomics is available. Agriotes sputator (Linnaeus, 1758) NOVA SCOTIA: Digby Co.: Marshalltown, 16.vi. 1952, 9.ix. 1952, C.J.S. Fox, (4), NSAC. PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND: Queens Co.: Pownal, 19.vi. 1997, J.G. Stewart, ACPE; Pownal, 18.vi. 2001, M.E. Smith, (8), ACPE. This introduced and invasive Palaearctic species is newly recorded from Prince Edward Island. It was first recorded in North America in New Brunswick in 1939 (Brown 1940). The earliest records from Nova Scotia are from 1952 (see above). Adults are frequently found in pastures and grasslands where the larvae (wireworms) feed on the roots of various species of grasses (Brian 1947). In Nova Scotia the species has attained very high population densities (3 million/acre) in wheat fields; the larvae prefer slightly drier and lighter soils than A. mancus (Say) (Becker 1956). Agriotes stabilis (LeConte, 1853) NOVA SCOTIA: 60 specimens examined from Cape Breton, Colchester, Cumberland, Digby, Guysborough, Halifax, Hants, Lunenburg, Queens, Richmond, and Shelburne counties. The earliest record is from 1945 (Lunenburg Co.: Bridgewater, 30.vi. 1945, collector not recorded, NSMC). PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND: Queens Co.: Cavendish, 14.vii. 2002, C.G. Majka, coastal lagoon, (4), CGMC; St. Patricks, 17.viii. 2002, C.G. Majka, old field, CGMC; Wood Islands, 30.vi. 2003, C.G. Majka, coastal forest, CGMC. Newly recorded from Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Usually collected on hazel, dogwood, and willow near small ponds within larger deciduous forests (Brooks 1960). In Nova Scotia found in deciduous, coniferous, mixed forests, and adjacent clearings. Common on undergrowth (especially on wood fern) in birch-poplar stands; the larvae prefer sandy soils where they are predators in the humus layer (Becker 1956). Dalopius fuscipes Brown, 1934 NEW BRUNSWICK: Kings Co.: Grand Bay, 28.vi. 1990, D.F. McAlpine, NBM; Saint John Co.: Saint John, 7.vi. 1990, Jarvis and Bedell, NBM. Newly recorded in New Brunswick. In Nova Scotia found predominantly in deciduous forests of various ages; occasionally in coniferous forests. Dalopius gentilis Brown, 1934 NOVA SCOTIA: 45 specimens examined from Colchester, Guysborough, Halifax, Hants, Kings, Lunenburg, Pictou, Queens, and Richmond counties. The earliest record is from 1989 (Richmond Co.: St. Peters, 3.vi. 1989, E. Georgeson, NSNR). PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND: Queens Co.: Millvale, 25.vi. 2003, C.G. Majka, deciduous forest, (5), CGMC. Newly recorded from Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and the Maritime Provinces as a whole. In New Brunswick Boiteau et al. (2000) reported 4 specimens of Dalopius prob. gentilis. In Nova Scotia found in red spruce (Picea rubens), hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), and white pine (Pinus strobus L.) stands, frequently in mature or old-growth forests.

Wright, NSMC; Victoria Co.: Big Barren, 14.vi. 1983, B. Wright, NSMC. Newly recorded from New Brunswick. In Nova Scotia found in red spruce (Picea rubens) and hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) stands, under pine (Pinus sp.) bark, and also in coastal barrens, marshes, and around buildings (unpublished data). Ampedus " subtilis " was recorded from Sable Island, NS by Wright (1989). Additional records are given above. Ampedus subtilis is, however, in the process of revision by F. Ramberg (pers. comm.) and it appears that the species known under this name in the Maritime Provinces is actually an undescribed one. We provisionally refer to it as Ampedus " subtilis " in the expectation that forthcoming revisionary work will clarify and alter its status. Ampedus 1 undescribed [Ramberg, manuscript species] NOVA SCOTIA: Guysborough Co.: Dayspring Lake, 1–16.vii. 1997, D.J. Bishop, red spruce forest, flightintercept trap, NSMC; Lunenburg Co.: Card Lake, 2–15.vi. 1997, D.J. Bishop, old-growth red spruce/hemlock forest, flight-intercept trap, NSMC. Newly recorded in Nova Scotia and in the Maritime Provinces as a whole. This species has been confused with A. luctuosus (LeConte) in collections. Ampedus 2 undescribed [Ramberg, manuscript species] NOVA SCOTIA: Annapolis Co.: Paradise, 30.vi. 2004, K. Webster, flight-intercept trap, NSNR; Halifax Co.: Soldier Lake, 5.vii. 2004, D. MacDonald, flight-intercept trap, NSNR; Lunenburg Co.: Bridgewater, 30.vi. 1965, B. Wright, (5), NSMC; Queens Co.: no locality specified, 11.vii. 1965, C.J.S. Fox, (2), ACNS; no locality specified, 17.vii. 1967, C.J.S. Fox, ACNS. PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND: no locality specified, 1974-1983, (2), UPEI. Newly recorded from Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and the Maritime Provinces as a whole. Collected from rotting wood of chestnut (Castanea sp.) and jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) (Ramberg 1979). This species has often been determined as A. melsheimeri (Leng) in collections. Melanotus decumanus (Erichson, 1841) NEW BRUNSWICK: York Co.: Fredericton, 1992–1995, potato field, Boiteau et al. (2000). PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND: Queens Co.: Pinette, 24, vi. 2003, C.G. Majka, coastal forest, CGMC. Newly recorded from Prince Edward Island. Worthy of attention is Boiteau et al. 's (2000) record of this species from New Brunswick. Although not indicated as such in the paper, this was a new record for this species in New Brunswick. Larvae are subcortical in decaying snags, logs, and stumps, especially at ground-level or in underground portions, where they are predators on other invertebrates. Collected throughout its range in mixed coniferous and deciduous forests of late second growth or older ages (unpublished data). Melanotus similis (Kirby, 1837) PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND: Kings Co.: Launching, 23.vii. 2001, C.G. Majka, coniferous forest, CGMC; Queens Co.: St. Patricks, 27.vi. 2003, C.G. Majka, coniferous forest, funnel trap, CGMC. Newly recorded from Prince Edward Island. In Nova Scotia generally found in open habitats. In Québec collected in raspberry plantations and pine woods (Levesque & Levesque 1993). This is the so-called “corn wireworm” of southern regions. The larva is a soil predator in meadow, field, and ecotonal areas, and facultatively feeds on sprouting corn and other seeds in agricultural situations (P. Johnson, unpublished data).Published as part of Majka, Christopher G. & Johnson, Paul J., 2008, The Elateridae (Coleoptera) of the Maritime Provinces of Canada: faunal composition, new records, and taxonomic changes, pp. 1-33 in Zootaxa 1811 on pages 9-14, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18278

Coccinella undecimpunctata subsp. undecimpunctata Linne
No full textCoccinella undecimpunctata undecimpunctata Linné NOVA SCOTIA: Cumberland County: Parrsboro, 12 August 1947, R. McDunnough, 9 specimens, CNC; Halifax County: Halifax, 26 August 1945, D.C. Ferguson, NSMC; Port Wallis, 24 May 1953, D. Gray, NSMC; Kings County: Evangeline Beach, 22 November 1953, D.C. Ferguson, NSMC. This adventive Palearctic species was first reported in Nova Scotia by Chapin (1956). The above records establish its presence in the province as early as 1945. It was accidentally introduced to North America and first recorded in 1912 in Massachusetts (Schaeffer 1912). Since then it has spread along the American seaboard and the St Lawrence River waterway from Ohio to the Maritimes Provinces and Newfoundland. Watson (1979) and Wheeler & Hoebeke (1981) both document its changing distribution and discuss the role of the St. Lawrence Seaway and the railway system in facilitating its dispersion.Published as part of Majka, Christopher G. & Mccorquodale, David B., 2006, The Coccinellidae (Coleoptera) of the Maritime Provinces of Canada: new records, biogeographic notes, and conservation concerns, pp. 49-68 in Zootaxa 1154 on page 60, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27341
