Biological Surveys at Hunsbury Hill Country Park 2018
FRIENDS OF WEST HUNSBURY PARKS BIOLOGICAL SURVEYS AT HUNSBURY HILL COUNTRY PARK 2018 Ryan Clark Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre April 2019 Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre Introduction Biological records tell us which species are present on sites and are essential in informing the conservation and management of wildlife. In 2018, the Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre ran a number of events to encourage biological recording at Hunsbury Hill Fort as part of the Friends of West Hunsbury Park’s project, which is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Hunsbury Hill Country Park is designated as a Local Wildlife Site (LWS). There are approximately 700 Local Wildlife Sites in Northamptonshire. Local Wildlife Sites create a network of areas, which are important as refuges for wildlife or wildlife corridors. Hunsbury Hill Country Park was designated as a LWS in 1992 for its woodland flora and the variety of habitats that the site possesses. The site also has a Local Geological Site (LGS) which highlights the importance of this site for its geology as well as biodiversity. This will be surveyed by the local geological group in due course. Hunsbury Hill Country Park Local Wildlife Site Boundary 1 Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre (NBRC) supports the recording, curation and sharing of quality verified environmental information for sound decision-making. We hold nearly a million biological records covering a variety of different species groups. Before the start of this project, we looked to see which species had been recorded at the site. We were surprised to find that the only records we have for the site have come from Local Wildlife Site Surveys, which assess the quality of the site and focus on vascular plants, with some casual observations of other species noted too. -
2005 Project Abstract for the Period Ending June 30, 2008 PROJECT
2005 Project Abstract For the Period Ending June 30, 2008 PROJECT TITLE: Biological Control of European Buckthorn and Garlic Mustard PROJECT MANAGER: Luke Skinner AFFILIATION: Minnesota Department of Natural Resources MAILING ADDRESS: 500 Lafayette Road Box 25 CITY/STATE/ZIP: St. Paul MN 55155 PHONE: 651-259-5140 FAX: 651-296-1811 E-MAIL: [email protected] WEBSITE: (If applicable) FUNDING SOURCE: Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund LEGAL CITATION: [ML 2005, First Special Session, [Chap. 1], Art. 2, Sec.[11], Subd. 5 (h).] APPROPRIATION AMOUNT: $200,000 Overall Project Outcome and Results This project builds upon and continues work begun from a 2003 Trust Fund appropriation and has since received an additional 2007 Trust Fund appropriation to further continue and accelerate the work. Buckthorn and garlic mustard are invasive species of highest priority for development of long- term management solutions, such as biological control (bio-control). This research aimed to help determine 1) if there are suitable insects that can be used to reduce impacts caused by buckthorn and 2) to implement introduction of insects to control garlic mustard and assess their establishment and success. Buckthorn. Insects were collected and reared for carrying out host specificity testing. A total of 1,733 specimens (356 species) were collected from buckthorn infestations in this insect fauna survey. In total, 39 specialized arthopods were recorded from R. cathartica (common buckthorn) and F. alnus (glossy buckthorn) in Europe. The reassessment of the potential for biological control of R. cathartica and F. alnus was conducted based on work done in Europe from 2002-2007 on potential biological control agents. -

For this reason in the years 2008–2010 a study was initiated on the phenology of 8 dominant Pimplinae species in apple orchards and on their edges, which included shrubberies and roadside avenues of trees and shrubs. Slightly higher numbers of Pimplinae were recorded in orchards compared to their edges. At strong correlation was observed between the counts of Pimplinae in both habitats. The preference of selec- tion of orchards by Pimplinae was observed in the autumn period, while no such preference was found in the spring or summer months. Analyses showed that flowering plants in the orchard edges such asTilia cordata, Symphoricarpos albus, Cirsium arvense and Galium aparine may have attracted Pimplinae to the orchards. -
Lepidoptera in Cheshire in 2002
Lepidoptera in Cheshire in 2002 A Report on the Micro-Moths, Butterflies and Macro-Moths of VC58 S.H. Hind, S. McWilliam, B.T. Shaw, S. Farrell and A. Wander Lancashire & Cheshire Entomological Society November 2003 1 1. Introduction Welcome to the 2002 report on lepidoptera in VC58 (Cheshire). This is the second report to appear in 2003 and follows on from the release of the 2001 version earlier this year. Hopefully we are now on course to return to an annual report, with the 2003 report planned for the middle of next year. Plans for the ‘Atlas of Lepidoptera in VC58’ continue apace. We had hoped to produce a further update to the Atlas but this report is already quite a large document. We will, therefore produce a supplementary report on the Pug Moths recorded in VC58 sometime in early 2004, hopefully in time to be sent out with the next newsletter. As usual, we have produced a combined report covering micro-moths, macro- moths and butterflies, rather than separate reports on all three groups. Doubtless observers will turn first to the group they are most interested in, but please take the time to read the other sections. Hopefully you will find something of interest. Many thanks to all recorders who have already submitted records for 2002. Without your efforts this report would not be possible. Please keep the records coming! This request also most definitely applies to recorders who have not sent in records for 2002 or even earlier. It is never too late to send in historic records as they will all be included within the above-mentioned Atlas when this is produced. -
On the Fauna of Casebearers from the Centre of the European Part of Russia (Lepidoptera, Coleophoridae) by V a S S Il Y V
Atalanta (Juli 2004) 35(1/2): 133-140, Wurzburg, ISSN 0171-0079 On the fauna of casebearers from the centre of the European part of Russia (Lepidoptera, Coleophoridae) by V a s s il y V. A n ik in & Ir in a V. S h m yto v a received 30.1.2004 Abstract: 47 species of the casebearers (Lepidoptera, Coleophoridae) are recorded from the centre of the European part of Russia. The first investigation in the Lepidoptera from the centre of the European part of Russia was made about 200 years ago. Inspite of it the fauna of Coleophoridae of this territory still has been almost completely unknown until present time. In the course of our study, collections were made from 1984 to 1999 in some parts of Kaluga, Smolensk, Oryel provinces (I. V. Shmytova leg.) and Tula province (L. V. Bolshakov, C. A. Rjabov, A. F. Lakomov leg.). This territory is mainly composed of forest as well as forest-steppe zones (fig. 1). Kaluga, Smolensk and some regions of Tula provinces are typical for the occurence of coniferous (Picea abies (L.) Karst.), broad-leaved (Quercus robur L., Ulmus L, Tilia cordata Mill., Fraxinus excel sior L.) and small-leaved forests (Betula L., Populus tremula L., Alnus Mill., Salix L.). Pines (Pinus sylvestris L.) are spread here on the sandy lands. The elements of steppe flora are met mainly in Tula and Oryel provinces, but along the valleys of rivers they penetrate to the north and north-west. It consists of species of Festuca L., Koeleria Pers., Stipa L., Phleum L., Flelictitrichon Bess., Poa L., Ranunculus L, Galium L., Anem one L., Salvia L. -

Many conditions in the urban habitats are modified compared to those in the rural ones, so the organisms present reactions to these changes. To determine to what extent the habitat type influences insects, we tested the differences in the pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) leaf-mining insect community between urban and rural habitats in Serbia. Lower species richness, abundance, and diversity were determined on trees in the urban environment. Due to the differences in the habitat types, many of the species disappeared, while most of the remaining species declined. The seasonal dynamics of species richness, abundance, and diversity differed between the habitat types. Both rural and urban populations started with low values in May. Subsequently, rural populations gained higher species richness, abundance, and diversity. -

Bucculatricidae (Insecta: Lepidoptera) Synopsis: A compilation of 21 species of Bucculatricidae hitherto known from "ancient" Tyrol, the area studied by the Tiroler Landesmuseum Ferdinandeum Innsbruck is given, including the relevant literature. Some species are discussed in detail. Supplementary findings and observations by the author are added and necessary correlations made. The research by DESCHKA (Steyr) made it possible to clarify the somewhat confused differen- tiation of some species and to undertake the appropriate correlations. Further details are mentioned with each species Bucculatrix ratisbonensis STAINTON, fatigatella HEYDEN, clavenae KLIMESCH and engadinensis DESCHKA i.l. Die artenreiche Gattung Bucculatrix (Zwergwickler) ist weltweit verbreitet. Bis heute sind mehr als 230 Arten beschrieben. Aus "Alttirol", dem Arbeitsgebiet des Tiroler Landesmuseums Ferdinandeum Innsbruck, sind bisher 21 Arten nachgewiesen. Die Imagines sind durchwegs kleine, meist recht unscheinbare Tiere mit einer Spannweite von 5-8 mm. Die Raupen der an Sträuchern und Bäumen lebenden Bucculatrix minieren im Jugendstadium und leben später frei auf der Un- terseite der Blätter. Sie häuten sich auch außerhalb der Mine in einem zarten, recht auffallenden, weißen Gespinst. -
