The Maria Curie-Skłodowska University Botanical Garden in Lublin As a Refuge of the Moths (Lepidoptera: Heterocera) Within the City
Acta Biologica 23/2016 | www.wnus.edu.pl/ab | DOI: 10.18276/ab.2016.23-02 | strony 15–34 The Maria Curie-Skłodowska University Botanical Garden in Lublin as a refuge of the moths (Lepidoptera: Heterocera) within the city Łukasz Dawidowicz,1 Halina Kucharczyk2 Department of Zoology, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Akademicka 19, 20-033 Lublin, Poland 1 e-mail: [email protected] 2 e-mail: [email protected] Keywords biodiversity, urban fauna, faunistics, city, species composition, rare species, conservation Abstract In 2012 and 2013, 418 species of moths at total were recorded in the Botanical Garden of the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin. The list comprises 116 species of Noctuidae (26.4% of the Polish fauna), 116 species of Geometridae (28.4% of the Polish fauna) and 63 species of other Macrolepidoptera representatives (27.9% of the Polish fauna). The remaining 123 species were represented by Microlepidoptera. Nearly 10% of the species were associated with wetland habitats, what constitutes a surprisingly large proportion in such an urbanised area. Comparing the obtained data with previous studies concerning Polish urban fauna of Lepidoptera, the moths assemblages in the Botanical Garden were the most similar to the one from the Natolin Forest Reserve which protects the legacy of Mazovian forests. Several recorded moths appertain to locally and rarely encountered species, as Stegania cararia, Melanthia procellata, Pasiphila chloerata, Eupithecia haworthiata, Horisme corticata, Xylomoia graminea, Polychrysia moneta. In the light of the conducted studies, the Botanical Garden in Lublin stands out as quite high biodiversity and can be regarded as a refuge for moths within the urban limits of Lublin. -

New Data on 38 Rare for the Lithuanian Fauna Lepidoptera Species Recorded in 2019
42 BULLETIN OF THE LITHUANIAN ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. Volume 3 (31) NEW DATA ON 38 RARE FOR THE LITHUANIAN FAUNA LEPIDOPTERA SPECIES RECORDED IN 2019 VYTAUTAS INOKAITIS, BRIGITA PAULAVIČIŪTĖ T. Ivanauskas Museum of Zoology, Laisvės al. 106 LT-44253 Kaunas, Lithuania. E-mail: [email protected] Introduction Lepidoptera is one of the most widespread and widely recognizable insect orders in the world. It can show many variations of the basic body structure that have evolved to gain advantages in lifestyle and distribution. We can find more than 180,000 species of Lepidoptera in the world, which belong to 126 families and 46 superfamilies (Mallet, 2007). There are 482 species in Europe, 451 of them being found in the 27 member states. Almost a third of these species (142 species) are endemic to Europe (Van Swaay et al., 2008). Today more than 2500 species of Lepidoptera are known in Lithuania. Every year new and rare species for Lithuania fauna are discovered (Ivinskis & Rimšaitė, 2018). This article presents new data on 38 rare for Lithuania moth and butterflies species. They were registered in 4 administrative districts of Lithuania. One species - Chariaspilates formosaria (Eversmann, 1837) is included in the Red Data Book of Lithuania (Rašomavičius, 2007).

Évaluation De Méthodes De Lutte Aux Plantes Envahissantes En Tourbière: Les Cas De La Quenouille Et Du Roseau
Évaluation de méthodes de lutte aux plantes envahissantes en tourbière: les cas de la quenouille et du roseau Mémoire François Messier Maîtrise en biologie végétale Maître ès sciences (M. Sc.) Québec, Canada © François Messier, 2017 Évaluation de méthodes de lutte aux plantes envahissantes en tourbière: les cas de la quenouille et du roseau Mémoire François Messier Sous la direction de : Line Rochefort, directrice de recherche Claude Lavoie, codirecteur de recherche Résumé La quenouille à feuilles larges (Typha latifolia, une plante indigène d’Amérique du Nord) et le roseau commun (Phragmites australis, haplotype M, le génotype exotique d’Eurasie) sont souvent observés dans les tourbières à sphaignes à la suite des activités d’extraction de la tourbe. L’envahissement des milieux humides par ces plantes peut nuire au rétablissement des communautés végétales typiques des tourbières et potentiellement réduire la capacité de ces écosystèmes à stocker le carbone. De plus, les graines produites en grandes quantités peuvent être responsables de la contamination de la tourbe extraite des terrains voisins. Au Québec, des populations denses de quenouille et de roseau ont été répertoriées récemment dans deux bogs de la région du Bas-Saint-Laurent autrefois utilisés pour l’extraction de la tourbe. Le but de ce projet était d’évaluer et tester des méthodes pour lutter contre la propagation de la quenouille et du roseau en tourbière. Différentes méthodes de lutte telles que la fauche des tiges, le bâchage et la revégétalisation ont été testées dans deux sites, Bois-des-Bel (BDB, une tourbière restaurée) et Saint-Alexandre-de-Kamouraska (SAK, une tourbière non restaurée). -

Scottish Macro-Moth List, 2015
Notes on the Scottish Macro-moth List, 2015 This list aims to include every species of macro-moth reliably recorded in Scotland, with an assessment of its Scottish status, as guidance for observers contributing to the National Moth Recording Scheme (NMRS). It updates and amends the previous lists of 2009, 2011, 2012 & 2014. The requirement for inclusion on this checklist is a minimum of one record that is beyond reasonable doubt. Plausible but unproven species are relegated to an appendix, awaiting confirmation or further records. Unlikely species and known errors are omitted altogether, even if published records exist. Note that inclusion in the Scottish Invertebrate Records Index (SIRI) does not imply credibility. At one time or another, virtually every macro-moth on the British list has been reported from Scotland. Many of these claims are almost certainly misidentifications or other errors, including name confusion. However, because the County Moth Recorder (CMR) has the final say, dubious Scottish records for some unlikely species appear in the NMRS dataset. A modern complication involves the unwitting transportation of moths inside the traps of visiting lepidopterists. Then on the first night of their stay they record a species never seen before or afterwards by the local observers. Various such instances are known or suspected, including three for my own vice-county of Banffshire. Surprising species found in visitors’ traps the first time they are used here should always be regarded with caution. Clerical slips – the wrong scientific name scribbled in a notebook – have long caused confusion. An even greater modern problem involves errors when computerising the data.
