There is no white stripe close to the wing base on the hindwing, and the main stripe is wider. The line which is parallel to the outer margin is wavy not zigzag. Graying: There is an eyespot on the forewing, which is outlined in light yellow. The white stripe on the hindwing is narrower, less prominent and broken at the front margin. Rock Grayling Graying The only one generation of these butterﬂ ies ﬂ ies from June to the end of July. It lives in mountainous areas, in sparse woodland with large surfaces of grassland, where their caterpillars’’ foodplants, such as grasses from Festuca, Elymus and Brachypodium genera can be found. Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec In Málaga, it is restricted to high areas in the Tejeda Mountains, where only one colony has been spotted at an altitude of 1590 m.

Assessing Adaptive Genetic Variation for Conservation and Management of the European Grayling (Thymallus Thymallus)
Assessing adaptive genetic variation for conservation and management of the European grayling (Thymallus thymallus) J. V. Huml PhD 2017 Assessing adaptive genetic variation for conservation and management of the European grayling (Thymallus thymallus) Jana Vanessa Huml A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2017 Faculty of Science and Engineering Manchester Metropolitan University Abstract In this PhD, functional genetic variation of European grayling (Thymallus thymallus) is assessed to inform conservation and management of the species. This study is the first to characterize immune variation at the Major Histocompatibility complex (MHC) in grayling. The MHC is a marker of high ecological relevance, because of the strong association between immunity and fitness. Taking advantage of advances in sequencing technology, an analytical pipeline optimized for high-throughput, efficient and accurate genotyping of multi-gene families in non-model species is presented. Immune genetic variation is compared to neutral marker data. Results confirm the hypothesis that neutral marker variation does not predict immune genetic variation. Further, the possible effect of supplementing wild populations with hatchery-reared fish on immune genetic variation is evaluated. Significantly lower estimates of heterozygosity were found in stocked than purely native populations. Lower differentiation at immune genes than at neutral markers are indicative of the effects of balancing selection acting upon the MHC, within purely native, but not stocked populations. Furthermore species distribution modelling is used to identify environmental parameters shaping the distribution of grayling. To evaluate risks imposed by climate change, the sensitivity of grayling to climatic variables and range changes under predicted future scenarios are assessed.

Priority Species in UK Biodiversity Action Plan. 2005-9 • 1 sighting • 2-9 max seen • 10-29 records (601 squares) Cryptic colouring provides the Grayling with excellent ° 1995-9 camouflage, making it difficult to see when at rest on bare + 1970-82 ground, tree trunks or rocks. The wings are kept closed when not in flight and the forewings are usually tucked behind the hindwings, concealing the eyespots and making the butterfly appear smaller. In flight this is a distinctive, large butterfly with a strong looping and gliding flight, during which the paler bands on the upperwings are visible. Grayling regulate their temperature, leaning sideways-on to the sun when it is too cold and perching on tiptoes head to the sun when it is too hot. The Grayling is widespread on the coast and southern heaths, but is declining in many areas, particularly inland. Life cycle Foodplants There is one generation a year and the butterfly is usually on the wing from early The main foodplants include Sheep’s-fescue July into September. The butterfly spends most of its time basking on bare ground (Festuca ovina ), Red Fescue ( F. rubra ), or rocks and spends little time nectaring but is attracted to muddy puddles and sap Bristle Bent ( Agrostis curtisii ) and Early from tree trunks. Spherical white eggs are laid singly on fine-leaved grasses, usually Hair-grass ( Aira praecox ). Coarser grasses very small tussocks, growing in full sun and surrounded by bare ground.

Rock Grayling Hipparchia Alcyone (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775)
86. D ESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE: NYMPHALIDAE FAMILY Rock Grayling Hipparchia alcyone (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) DESCRIPTION Wingspan: From 4.6 to 6 cm. Closed wings: They are light brown, sprinkled with darker colour and grey. On the forewing, a black eyespot with a white centre and yellow outline can be perceived. There is also a smaller eyespot below it, which can hardly ever be seen. A wide white stretch goes across the hindwings. There are two wavy lines that spread from the brown section to the base of the wing. The ﬁ rst line is touching the white one, and its angles are slightly closed, while the second one is parallel to the outer margin.Open wings: This species practically never stretches its wings. Dark brown with yellowish stretches can be seen on all wings. The forewing has two eyespots. Black eyespot with a white centre and yellow outline Slightly closed angles Very wide white stripe Wavy dark lines Two eyespots Yellowish stretches 208 DIURNAL BUTTERFLIES • GR-249 Great Malagal Path Graying: The main difference is the white stripe on the hindwing, which gets narrower at the front margin because of a brown section in the inner part of the wing. On the hindwing, there is also a dark eyespot close to the anal angle, with vague boarders and a white dot in the centre. Great Banded Grayling: A line which is parallel to the hindwing outer margin is no wavy , but zigzag and angled, the same as a line which meets the white stretch on the inner part of the wing.

We then took an early evening flight to the Armenian capital, Yerevan. After meeting our driver and ornithologist guide for the trip Hasmik, we took a short drive to the superb Hotel Aviatrans, centrally located in vibrant Yerevan city. We arrived mid-evening in time for an excellent supper at the hotel. Day 2 Sunday 26th June Hatsavan, Gaghadir and Gharni After a really good buffet breakfast, we headed south-east, driving for just under an hour to steppe and semi- desert habitat west of Garni. The weather was glorious – hot and sunny. At a road intersection we transferred from our air conditioned minibus to jeeps for the bumpy road ahead which ran west towards Lanjazat. Birds seen in prime habitat along the road included Roller, Lesser Grey Shrike, Bee-eater and Isabelline Wheatear. Our first scheduled stop for butterflies was in a beautiful semi-desert area, several kilometres down this dusty road.

On arrival we made our 30 minute transfer to our hotel the ‘Residential Pina’, and after settling into our rooms we had a light lunch at the hotel. With the afternoon ahead we briefly discussed options for exploring Funchal. The centre of Funchal is readily accessible from Residential Pina and an enjoyable place to explore and appreciate the different planted street trees which include in particular Jacaranda mimosifolia (Jacaranda), Tipuana tipu, (Pride of Bolivia), Markhamia platycalyx (Yellow Trumpet tree), Spathodea campanulata (African Tulip Tree) and Erythrina abyssinica (Coral Tree) Whilst there are a large number of gardens in Funchal there are two gardens of note near the centre which a number of people found time to visit; The Municipal Garden, an elderly, elegant and remarkable little garden designed by Edouard Andre and built in 1880 the original band stand and rails were removed around 1935 and the garden subsequently developed a more intimate link with the small square that sits within.

The Azores archipelago The Azores are a volcanic archipelago located in the middle of North Atlantic Ocean. Together with the archipelagos of Madeira, Selvagens, Canary Islands and Cabo Verde, they are part of Macaronesia, the “happy islands” (Fernández-Palacios, 2010). The Azorean Islands were discovered by Portuguese naviga- tors in 1427 (Santa Maria), Flores and Corvo being the last islands to be found in 1452. However, accord- ing to old maps its existence was previously known. It is believed that the archipelago received its name from birds that were common in these islands either the Goshawk (Açor in Portuguese) or a local subspe- cies of Buzzard (Buteo buteo rothschildi) that the sailors erroneously identified as goshawks (Frutuoso, 1963). The archipelago is composed by nine main islands and some small islets. The islands are divided in three groups: the eastern group with Santa Maria, São Miguel and Formigas islets, the central group with Terceira, Graciosa, São Jorge, Pico and Faial and the western group composed by Flores and Corvo (Fig.
