Phyllonorycter Sorbi
''Phyllonorycter sorbi'' is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from all of Europe, except the Balkan Peninsula. The wingspan is 7–9 mm.Body length 7–8.5 mm. The forewing has four costal and three dorsal white stripes, the inner part has a dark brown border. There is a narrow band at the base of the wing. The pupa is 2.5-3.5 mm long, the cremaster is trapezoidal. .''P. sorbi'', ''Phyllonorycter oxyacanthae'' and ''Phyllonorycter mespilella'' cannot be reliably separated without genitalia dissection.

Heinrich Frey
Heinrich Frey (June 15, 1822 – January 17, 1890) was a German-born Swiss entomologist who studied Lepidoptera. Biography Heinrich Frey was born on June 15, 1822 in Frankfurt. He attended the gymnasium in Frankfurt until he was 16. Here he met Senator Carl Heinrich Georg von Heyden (1793–1866) who introduced him to entomology. He attended the University in Frankfurt, then travelled to Bonn, Berlin, and Göttingen. When he returned to Frankfurt am Main in 1839 von Heyden showed him Philipp Christoph Zeller's ''Attempt at a Classification of the Tineinae'' which had just appeared in Oken's ''Isis''. Until this publication, this group of moths had been hopelessly confused and Frey was impressed by Zeller's orderly arrangement. Returning to Göttingen in 1847 he first became a private tutor, then an “extraordinary” professor at the University. (An extraordinary professorial chair is one created by a university because of an application from an outside organisation ...

Prunus Avium
''Prunus avium'', commonly called wild cherry, sweet cherry or gean is a species of Prunus subg. Cerasus, cherry, a flowering plant in the rose family, Rosaceae. It is native to Eurasia and naturalized elsewhere. It is an ancestor of ''Prunus cerasus, P. cerasus'' (sour cherry). All parts of the plant except for the ripe fruit are slightly toxic, containing cyanogenic glycosides. The species is often cultivated as an ornamental tree. Description ''Prunus avium'' is a deciduous tree growing to tall, with a trunk up to in diameter. Young trees show strong apical dominance with a straight trunk and symmetrical conical crown, becoming rounded to irregular on old trees. * The Bark (botany), bark is smooth reddish-brown with prominent horizontal grey-brown lenticels on young trees, becoming thick dark blackish-brown and fissured on old trees. * The leaves are alternate, simple ovoid-acute, long and broad, glabrous matt or sub-shiny green above, variably finely downy beneath, w ...

Leaf Miner
A leaf miner is any one of numerous species of insects in which the larval stage lives in, and eats, the leaf tissue of plants. The vast majority of leaf-mining insects are moths (Lepidoptera), sawflies (Symphyta, a paraphyletic group which Apocrita (wasps, bees and ants) evolved from), and flies (Diptera). Some beetles also exhibit this behavior. Like woodboring beetles, leaf miners are protected from many predators and plant defenses by feeding within the tissues of the leaves, selectively eating only the layers that have the least amount of cellulose. When consuming ''Quercus robur'' (English oak), they also selectively feed on tissues containing lower levels of tannin, a deterrent chemical produced in great abundance by the tree. The pattern of the feeding tunnel and the layer of the leaf being mined is often diagnostic of the insect responsible, sometimes even to species level. The mine often contains frass, or droppings, and the pattern of frass deposition, mine sha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sorbus Torminalis
''Torminalis'' is a genus of plants in the rose family, Rosaceae. The genus was formerly included within the genus ''Sorbus'' as the Section (biology), section ''Torminaria'', but the simple-leafed species traditionally classified in ''Sorbus'' are now considered to form a separate Monophyly, monophyletic group. It is monotypic, being represented by the single species ''Torminalis glaberrima'', common name, commonly known as wild service tree, chequers, and checker tree. This tree is native to Europe, parts of northern Africa and western Asia. A possible second species in the genus has been identified through DNA analysis, but a new scientific description for it has not yet been written. Description ''Torminalis glaberrima'' is a medium-sized deciduous tree growing to about 30 m (100 ft) tall, with a trunk up to 1.3 m in diameter. The Bark (botany), bark is smooth and grey when young, becoming scaly and flaking away in squarish plates to reveal darker brown layers when about 30 ...

''Cormus domestica'', common name, commonly known as service tree or sorb tree, is a species of tree native to western, central and southern Europe, northwest Africa (Atlas Mountains), and southwest Asia (east to the Caucasus).Rushforth, K. (1999). ''Trees of Britain and Europe''. Collins .Mitchell, A.'' f. ''(1974). ''A Field Guide to the Trees of Britain and Northern Europe'', p 280.

Sorbus Aucuparia
''Sorbus aucuparia'', commonly called rowan (, also ) and mountain-ash, is a species of deciduous tree or shrub in the rose family. The tree has a slender trunk with smooth bark, a loose and roundish crown, and its leaves are pinnate in pairs of leaflets on a central vein with a terminal leaflet. It blossoms from May to June in dense corymbs of small yellowish white flowers and develops small red pomes as fruit that ripen from August to October and are eaten by many bird species. It is a highly variable species, and botanists have used different Circumscription (taxonomy), definitions of the species to include or exclude trees native to certain areas. A recent definition includes trees native to most of Europe and parts of Asia, as well as northern Africa. The range extends from Madeira, the British Isles and Iceland to Russia and northern China. Unlike many plants with similar distributions, it is not native to Japan. The plant is frost hardy and colonizes disrupted and inacces ...

Sorbus Aria
''Aria edulis'', the whitebeam or common whitebeam, is a species of deciduous tree in the family ''Rosaceae''. The tree often forms new shoots around the trunk. Typically compact and domed, the plant has a few upswept branches and the leaves have an almost-white underside. The hermaphrodite cream-white flowers appear in May, are insect pollinated, and go on to produce scarlet berries, which are often eaten by birds. It is native to most of Europe as well as North Africa (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia) and temperate Asia ( Eastern Turkey, Armenia, Georgia). It generally favours dry limestone and chalk soils. The cultivars ''A. edulis'' 'Lutescens', with very whitish-green early leaves, and ''A. edulis'' 'Majestica', with large leaves, have both gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. The berries are edible when overripe ( bletted). File:Weilburg - Tiergarten - Mehlbeere.jpg, Tree References aria In music, an aria (, ; : , ; ''arias'' in common ...

Pyrus Communis
''Pyrus communis'', the common pear, is a species of pear native plant, native to central and eastern Europe, and western Asia. It is one of the most important fruits of temperate regions, being the species from which most orchard pear cultivars grown in Europe, North America, and Australia have been developed. Two other species of pear, the Nashi pear (''Pyrus pyrifolia'') and the hybrid Chinese white or ya pear (''Pyrus × bretschneideri'', ) are more widely grown in East Asia. Subtaxa The following subspecies are currently accepted: * ''Pyrus communis'' subsp. ''caucasica'' – Turkey, Caucasus * ''Pyrus communis'' subsp. ''communis'' – Entire range except Caucasus Origin The cultivated Common pear (''P. communis'' subsp. ''communis'') is thought to be descended from two subspecies of wild pears, categorized as Pyrus pyraster, ''P. communis'' subsp.'' pyraster'' (syn. ''P. pyraster'') and ''P. communis'' subsp.
