The woodland is an important part of a mosaic with species-rich chalk grassland and scrub. A distinctive feature in the woodland flora is the occurrence of the rare coralroot Cardamine bulbifera. Standing and fallen dead timber provide habitat for dead-wood (saproxylic) invertebrates, including stag beetle Lucanus cervus. Qualifying habitats: The site is designated under article 4(4) of the Directive (92/43/EEC) as it hosts the following habitats listed in Annex I: · Asperulo-Fagetum beech forests. (Beech forests on neutral to rich soils) · Semi-natural dry grasslands and scrubland facies: on calcareous substrates (Festuco- Brometalia). (Dry grasslands and scrublands on chalk or limestone) Qualifying species: The site is designated under article 4(4) of the Directive (92/43/EEC) as it hosts the following species listed in Annex II: · Stag beetle Lucanus cervus This citation relates to a site entered in the Register of European Sites for Great Britain.

This document should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Supplementary Advice document, which provides more detailed advice and information to enable the application and achievement of the Objectives set out above. Qualifying Features: H6210. Semi-natural dry grasslands and scrubland facies: on calcareous substrates (Festuco- Brometalia); Dry grasslands and scrublands on chalk or limestone H9130. Asperulo-Fagetum beech forests; Beech forests on neutral to rich soils S1083. Lucanus cervus; Stag beetle Explanatory Notes: European Site Conservation Objectives These Conservation Objectives are those referred to in the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 as amended from time to time (the “Habitats Regulations”). They must be considered when a competent authority is required to make a ‘Habitats Regulations Assessment’, including an Appropriate Assessment, under the relevant parts of this legislation. These Conservation Objectives and the accompanying Supplementary Advice (where available) will also provide a framework to inform the measures needed to conserve or restore the European Site and the prevention of deterioration or significant disturbance of its qualifying features. These Conservation Objectives are set for each habitat or species of a Special Area of Conservation (SAC). Where the objectives are met, the site will be considered to exhibit a high degree of integrity and to be contributing to achieving Favourable Conservation Status for that species or habitat type at a UK level. The term ‘favourable conservation status’ is defined in regulation 3 of the Habitats Regulations. Publication date: 27 November 2018 (version 3).

Medler INTRODUCTION HIS bulletin attempts to present as accurate and complete a T guide to the leafhoppers of Minnesota as possible within the limits of the material available for study. It is realized that cer- tain groups could not be treated completely because of the lack of available material. Nevertheless, it is hoped that in its present form this treatise will serve as a convenient and useful manual for the systematic and economic worker concerned with the forms of the upper Mississippi Valley. In all cases a reference to the original description of the species and genus is given. Keys are included for the separation of species, genera, and supergeneric groups. In addition to the keys a brief diagnostic description of the important characters of each species is given. Extended descriptions or long lists of references have been omitted since citations to this literature are available from other sources if ac- tually needed (Van Duzee, 1917).

  • Household Insects of the Rocky Mountain States
    Household Insects of the Rocky Mountain States Bulletin 557A January 1994 Colorado State University, University of Wyoming, Montana State University Issued in furtherance of Cooperative Extension work, Acts of May 8 and June 30, 1914, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Milan Rewerts, interim director of Cooperative Extension, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado. Cooperative Extension programs are available to all without discrimination. No endorsement of products named is intended nor is criticism implied of products not mentioned. FOREWORD This publication provides information on the identification, general biology and management of insects associated with homes in the Rocky Mountain/High Plains region. Records from Colorado, Wyoming and Montana were used as primary reference for the species to include. Mention of more specific localities (e.g., extreme southwestern Colorado, Front Range) is provided when the insects show more restricted distribution. Line drawings are provided to assist in identification. In addition, there are several lists based on habits (e.g., flying), size, and distribution in the home. These are found in tables and appendices throughout this manual. Control strategies are the choice of the home dweller. Often simple practices can be effective, once the biology and habits of the insect are understood. Many of the insects found in homes are merely casual invaders that do not reproduce nor pose a threat to humans, stored food or furnishings. These may often originate from conditions that exist outside the dwelling. Other insects found in homes may be controlled by sanitation and household maintenance, such as altering potential breeding areas (e.g., leaky faucets, spilled food, effective screening).

Die Rindenwanzen des Nationalparks Gesäuse werden vorgestellt und mit Blick auf ihre Eignung als Indikatoren natürlicher Waldentwicklung diskutiert. Aus dem Untersuchungsgebiet sind bisher elf Arten bekannt: Aneurus avenius (DU F OUR , 1833), Aradus betulae (LINNAEUS , 1758), A. betulinus FALLÉN , 1807, A. cinnamomeus PAN - ZER, 1806, A. conspicuus HERRIC H -SC H AE ff ER, 1835, A. corticalis (LINNAEUS , 1758), Aradus depressus depressus (FABRICIUS, 1794), A. erosus FALLÉN , 1807, A. lugubris FALLÉN , 1807, A. obtectus VÁSÁR H EL Y I , 1988 und A. versicolor HERRIC H -SC H AE ff ER, 1835. Dargestellt werden die jeweiligen Fundorte und Fundhabitate im Nationalpark anhand historischer und re- zent erhobener Daten. Im Rahmen einer im Jahr 2017 durchgeführten, zeit-standardi- sierten Kartierung wurden an 42 verschiedenen Standorten unter anderem Baumart, Totholztyp, Holzdimensionsklasse, Holzzersetzungsgrad, Holzfeuchtegrad, Beschat- tung, Mikrohabitat und Pilzfruchtkörper notiert. Auf Basis dieser Daten wird die ökolo- gische Einnischung von Aradiden im Gesäuse abgeleitet und im Weiteren werden Charak ter- und Zielarten festgelegt. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass mehrere Rindenwanzen- arten im Nationalpark ab einem bestimmten Stadium der Waldentwicklung und der da- mit verfügbaren Totholzqualitäten auftreten. Entscheidend ist das Vorhandensein von Totholz in stärkerer Dimension (> 30 cm Durchmesser) und in den fortgeschrittenen Zerfallsphasen.

  • The Diptera of Lancashire and Cheshire: Craneflies and Winter Gnats
    The Diptera of Lancashire and Cheshire: Craneflies and Winter Gnats by Phil Brighton 32, Wadeson Way, Croft, Warrington WA3 7JS [email protected] Version 1.1 26 November 2017 1 Summary This document provides a new checklist for the craneflies and winter gnats (Tipuloidea, Ptychopteridae and Trichoceridae) to extend the lists of the diptera of Lancashire and Cheshire first published by Kidd and Bindle in 1959. Overall statistics on recording activity are given by decade and hectad. Checklists are presented for each of the three Watsonian vice-counties 58, 59, and 60 detailing for each species the number of records, year of earliest and most recent record, and the number of hectads with records. A combined checklist showing distribution by the three vice-counties is also included, covering a total of 264 species, amounting to 75% of the current British checklist. Introduction This report is the third in a series to update and extend the partial checklist of the diptera of Lancashire and Cheshire published in 1959 by Leonard Kidd and Alan Brindle1. There were two previous updates, in 19642 and 19713. The previous reports in this series cover the soldierflies and allies4 and the Sepsidae5, the latter family not having been covered in Ref 1. The reader is referred to the first two reports for the background and rationale of these checklists, as well as the history of diptera recording and available data sources. The description of methodology is also kept to a minimum in the present report: only significant differences from the previous publications will be outlined.
