Errata and First Update to the 2010 Checklist of the Lepidoptera Of
Errata and first uppppdate to the 2010 checklist of the Lepidoptera of Alberta Gregory R. Pohl, Jason J Dombroskie, Jean‐François Landry, Charles D Bird, and Vazrick Nazari lead author contact: [email protected] Introduction: Since the Annotated list of the Lepidoptera of Alberta was published in March 2010 (Pohl et al. 2010), a few typographical and nomenclatural errors have come to the authors' attention, as well as three erroneous AB records that were inadvertently omitted from that publication. Additionally, a considerable number of new AB species records have been brought to our attention since that checklist went to press. As expected, most are microlepidoptera. We detail all these items below, in what we hope will be a regular series of addenda to the AB list. If you are aware of further errors or additions to the AB Lepidoptera list, please contact the authors. Wit hin the NidNoctuoidea, there are a few minor iiiinconsistencies in the order of species wihiithin genera, and in the order of genera within tribes or subtribes, as compared to the sequence published by Lafontaine & Schmidt (2010). As well, the sequence of tribes in the AB list does not exactly match that of Lafontaine & Schmidt (2010), particularly in the Erebinae. We are not detailing those minor differences here unless they involve a move to a new genus or new higher taxonomic category. Errata: Abstract, p. 2, line 10, should read "1530... annotations are given" 41 Nemapogon granella (p. 55). Add Kearfott (1905) to the AB literature records. 78 Caloptilia syringella (p. 60). This species should be placed in the genus Gracillaria as per De Prins & De Prins (2005).

SandersI ABSTRACT From May to September each year from 1960 through 1968, a collection of Lepidoptera was made at Black Sturgeon Lake, northwestern Ontario, from speci mens captured in a light trap and from specimens netted during the day. A total of 564 species was recorded from 70 families. A list of the species with dates of capture is presented. From 1960 through 1968, a 15-watt black-light trap was operated each year at a Forestry Canada field station at Black Sturgeon Lake, northwestern Ontario.

Impacts of Native and Non-Native Plants on Urban Insect Communities: Are Native Plants Better Than Non-Natives?
Impacts of Native and Non-native plants on Urban Insect Communities: Are Native Plants Better than Non-natives? by Carl Scott Clem A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Auburn, Alabama December 12, 2015 Key Words: native plants, non-native plants, caterpillars, natural enemies, associational interactions, congeneric plants Copyright 2015 by Carl Scott Clem Approved by David Held, Chair, Associate Professor: Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology Charles Ray, Research Fellow: Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology Debbie Folkerts, Assistant Professor: Department of Biological Sciences Robert Boyd, Professor: Department of Biological Sciences Abstract With continued suburban expansion in the southeastern United States, it is increasingly important to understand urbanization and its impacts on sustainability and natural ecosystems. Expansion of suburbia is often coupled with replacement of native plants by alien ornamental plants such as crepe myrtle, Bradford pear, and Japanese maple. Two projects were conducted for this thesis. The purpose of the first project (Chapter 2) was to conduct an analysis of existing larval Lepidoptera and Symphyta hostplant records in the southeastern United States, comparing their species richness on common native and alien woody plants. We found that, in most cases, native plants support more species of eruciform larvae compared to aliens. Alien congener plant species (those in the same genus as native species) supported more species of larvae than alien, non-congeners. Most of the larvae that feed on alien plants are generalist species. However, most of the specialist species feeding on alien plants use congeners of native plants, providing evidence of a spillover, or false spillover, effect.

Western Spruce Budworm, Choristoneura Occidentalis Freeman (Tor Tricidae), Is an Important Pest of Douglas-Fir and White Fir in the Southwestern United States
Journal of the Lepidopterists' SOciety 37(2), 1983, 129--139 LEPIDOPTERA ASSOCIATED WITH WESTERN SPRUCE BUDWORM IN THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES ROBERT E. STEVENS Rocky Mountain Forest and Range Experiment Station, USDA Forest Service, 240 W. Prospect St., Fort Collins, Colorado 805261 V. M. CAROLIN 9030 S.E. Mill Street, Portland, Oregon 97216 CATHERINE STEIN Southwestern Region, USDA Forest Service, Federal Building, 517 Gold Ave. S.W., Albuquerque, New Mexico 87102 ABSTRACT. Western spruce budworm, Choristoneura occidentalis Freeman (Tor tricidae), is an important pest of Douglas-fir and white fir in the southwestern United States. A variety of other Lepidoptera, several previously unrecognized from this part of the country, commonly occupy similar feeding niches as larvae. Included are species of Geometridae, Gelechiidae, Noctuidae, PluteIIidae, Pyralidae, and Tortricidae. Notes are presented on species' life history, and field identifying features in late larval and adult stages. Western spruce budworm, Choristoneura occidentalis Freeman, is an important defoliator of Douglas-fir, Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco, and true firs, Abies spp., throughout western North America. It also feeds on spruces, Picea spp., and western larch, Larix occi dentalis Nutt. (Furniss & Carolin, 1977). The budworm is a common pest of Douglas-fir and white fir, A. concolor (Gord. & Glend.) Lindl. ex Hildebr., and is currently in outbreak status in northern Arizona (Kaibab Plateau, Coconino County), in northern New Mexico (Jemez and Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Sandoval and Taos Counties, re spectively), and in Colorado (mainly in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains-Larimer, Boulder, Jefferson, Teller, Fremont and Custer Counties). A variety of other Lepidoptera coexist with the budworm, occupy ing similar feeding niches in the larval stage.

Larose Forest Bioblitz Report: 2016
Larose Forest BioBlitz Report: 2016 www.ofnc.ca/ www.prescott-russell.on.ca/en/ The United Counties of Prescott and Russell (Comtés unis de Prescott et Russell) comprises eight municipalities, with its county seat in L'Orignal. The United Counties was formed in 1820 after Russell County and Prescott County merged. It owns and maintains the Larose Forest, including the many kms of recreational trails . In collaboration with South Nation Conservation, it regulates logging within the forest.. The Ottawa Field-Naturalists’ Club was founded in 1879. The club promotes appreciation, preservation and conservation of Canada’s natural heritage. The OFNC produces two quarterly publications: the peer-reviewed journal, The Canadian Field-Naturalist, reporting research in Canadian natural history, and Trail & Landscape, providing articles on natural history of the Ottawa Valley. Written and prepared by Christine Hanrahan.

Moths of the Buffalo Lake Moraine Conservation Area, 2001- 2011
MOTHS OF THE BUFFALO LAKE MORAINE CONSERVATION AREA, 2001- 2011 Charles Durham Bird Box 22, Erskine, AB, T0C 1G0, [email protected] 8 March 2012 No new collections were made in the area in 2011. The present report is essentially an update that includes a number of redeterminations and additions to the information in last year’s report. It also follows the up-to-date order and taxonomy of Pohl et al. (2010), rather than that of Hodges et al. (1983). Felix Sperling and Gary Anweiler, Alberta Lepidopterist’s Guild members, in the Buffalo Lake Conservation Area, August 18, 2002 THE AREA The Buffalo Lake Moraine Conservation Area is made up of contiguous quarters of land, located 18 km north of Stettler, in south-central Alberta. Known originally as the Caine property, the quarters were variously purchased by The Alberta Conservation Association, The Alberta Fish and Game Association, Ducks Unlimited Canada and The Nature Conservancy of Canada in June 1999. Additional quarters have been purchased since then. Ecologically, the area is made up of rolling, morainal aspen parkland. There is evidence that some areas were cultivated well over 50 years ago, but since that time, the land has been used for grazing cattle. A grazing inventory study was carried out by Mancroft-EBA Consultants 2 Ltd. (1998). A detailed vegetation and range resource inventory was carried out in 2005 (Rangeland Conservation Service Limited, 2006). No grazing was allowed in 1999. In 2000 the area was divided into 3 grazing paddocks. Since 2000 limited grazing has been allowed with one of the quarters/paddocks being idled each year.
