The fauna and seasonal activity of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in the Curonian Spit (Russia, Lithuania)
The Curonian Spit, characterized by the highest drifting sand dunes in Europe, is a 98 km long, thin, curved sand dune peninsula located in the East of the Baltic Sea. The northern stretch of the Spit belongs to Lithuania, while the rest is part of Russia. Investigations on birds and on bird haemosporidian parasites are carried on in this region. Bloodsucking dipterous insects are specific vect...
متن کاملConnecting aeolian sediment transport with foredune development
Foredune volume is an important factor for coastal safety and depends on the balance between erosion through wave attack and sediment input via aeolian transport. Dune erosion can be simulated with good accuracy, but predictions of aeolian sediment transport into the foredunes are still difficult to make. As part of a larger project that aims to model foredune development over decades, the goal...
متن کاملTasmanian Beach Ridge Systems in Relation to Sea Level Change
Both sand and pebble beach systems in Tasmania show an overall decrease in height seaward which may be correlated with a fall of sea-level occurring while they were being formed. This fall from the postglacial Milford shoreline was of the order of 2 or 3 ft. in south-eastern Tasmania, but about 5 or 6 ft. elsewhere.
متن کاملCaspian Sea level fluctuation and Determination of Setback Line
In the past 25 years, rising of the Caspian Sea level, part of a natural treat to the sea, has inundated and destroyed many buildings and arable lands and threatened many inhabitations in coastal areas. The main reason for these damages is that the law-setback has lost its efficiency and human activities have proceeded seaward. The goal of this study is to introduce a proper setback line for th...
متن کاملA checklist of the centipedes (Chilopoda) of Lithuania.
Only 4 species of centipedes were previously reported for Lithuania. Here we present current distributional data for a total of 20 species (12 species of Lithobiomorpha and 8 species of Geophilomorpha) collected mainly during 7 years conducting ecological research at Curonian Spit, drawing on samples from the central, eastern and north-western parts of Lithuania.
