[This is an update to the article written in February 2014]. The presence of the Mountain Ringlet (Erebia epiphron) in Ireland has been a topic of much interest to Lepidopterists for decades, partly because of the small number of specimens that are reputedly Irish. The Irish Mountain Ringlet is truly the stuff of legend and many articles have been written over the years, including the excellent summary by Chalmers-Hunt (1982). The purpose of this article is to examine all relevant literature and, in particular, the various points of view that have been expressed over the years. This article also includes images of all four surviving specimens that can lay claim to Irish provenance and some of the sites mentioned in conjunction with these specimens are shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 - Key Sites The Birchall Mountain Ringlet (1854) The first reported occurrence of Mountain Ringlet in Ireland was provided by Edwin Birchall (Birchall, 1865) where,

Populations are typically fragmented, restricted to high altitudes in one or several mountain ranges, where habitat is relatively well preserved, but where the effects of climate change are considerable. As a result, the genus Erebia has become a model to study the impact of climate changes, past and present, on intraspecific genetic diversity. In this study, we inferred phylogenetic relationships among populations of the European species Erebia epiphron and Erebia orientalis using mitochondrial (COI) and nuclear markers (ITS2, wg and RPS5), and reconstructed their phylogeographical history. We confirm E. orientalis and E. epiphron as a relatively young species pair that split c.

  • The Story of Creag Meagaidh National Nature Reserve
    Scotland’s National Nature Reserves For more information about Creag Meagaidh National Nature Reserve please contact: Scottish Natural Heritage, Creag Meagaidh NNR, Aberarder, Kinlochlaggan, Newtonmore, Inverness-shire, PH20 1BX Telephone/Fax: 01528 544 265 Email: [email protected] The Story of Creag Meagaidh National Nature Reserve The Story of Creag Meagaidh National Nature Reserve Foreword Creag Meagaidh National Nature Reserve (NNR), named after the great whalebacked ridge which dominates the Reserve, is one of the most diverse and important upland sites in Scotland. Creag Meagaidh is a complex massif, with numerous mountain tops and an extensive high summit plateau edged by a dramatic series of ice-carved corries and gullies. The Reserve extends from the highest of the mountain tops to the shores of Loch Laggan. The plateau is carpeted in moss-heath and is an important breeding ground for dotterel. The corries support unusual artic- alpine plants and the lower slopes have scattered patches of ancient woodland dominated by birch. Located 45 kilometres (km) northeast of Fort William and covering nearly 4,000 hectares (ha), the Reserve is owned and managed by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). Creag Meagaidh has been a NNR since 1986 and during the last twenty years SNH has worked to restore natural habitats, particularly woodland, on the Reserve. Like much of the Highlands, the vegetation has been heavily grazed for centuries, so it was decided to reduce the number of grazing animals by removing sheep and culling red deer. The aim was not to eliminate grazing animals altogether, but to keep numbers at a level that allowed the habitats, especially the woodland, to recover.

  • Die Steppen Der Inneralpinen Trockentäler Des Wallis (Schweiz)
    steppenlebensräume europas – GefährdunG, erhaltunGsmassnahmen und schutz 163 mIchael dIpner & GuIdo masé Die Steppen der inneralpinen Trockentäler des Wallis (Schweiz) Im Rahmen einer nationalen Kartierung der Trockenwiesen und –weiden der Schweiz wurden auch Zusammenfassung inneralpine Steppen des Stipo-Poion und des Cirsio-Brachypodion erhoben. Sie finden sich vorwie- gend in den trockensten Innentälern der Kantone Wallis und Graubünden. 1.641 ha fanden Eingang in das nationale Inventar, eine Grundlage für ihren Schutz. Das Pflanzenkleid solcher Standorte erinnert an die Steppen Mittel- und Osteuropas. Die steile Lage sowie biogeographische Faktoren verleihen aber diesen inneralpinen Steppen einen ganz eigenen Charakter. Während die meisten Pflanzengattungen der östlichen Steppen hier vertreten sind, gibt es etliche vikariierende Arten und auch eigentliche Endemiten. Die inneralpinen Steppen wurden historisch durch Beweidung in ihrer Ausdehnung stark gefördert. Pilotprojekte zeigen auf, wie Steppenflächen wiederhergestellt werden können. Steppes of the inner alpine dry valleys of Valais (Switzerland) The recent Swiss mapping project of dry meadows and pastures of national importance included two Abstract steppe-like dry grassland types, the Stipo-Poion (SP) and the Cirsio-Brachypodion (CB). Overall, the national inventory shows 1,562 ha (6.6% of all Swiss dry meadow and pasture areas) of SP and 79 ha (0.3%) of CB. Small-scale steppe elements are also mixed with other dry grassland types. Their presence is, with a few exceptions, limited to the inner-alpine dry valleys of Graubünden and Valais. As with the eastern European steppe, the related inner alpine stands are found on fine-grained (clayey sand) soils. During the growing season, they also receive very little precipitation.

  • Gargano Wildlife Tour Report Italy Botanical Birdwatching Butterfly
    The Gargano Italy’s Secret Garden A Greentours Tour Report 22nd April to 1st May 2013 Led by Paul Cardy Daily Reports and Systematic Lists by Paul Cardy Day 1 Monday 22nd April Arrival and transfer to Gargano After convening at Bari Airport we were soon on our way north towards the Gargano peninsula. Initially the journey took us across the extensive agricultural Tavoliere plain, roadsides yellow with Chrysanthemum coronarium. Just north of Bari a group of four Ring- necked Parakeets flew across the road in exactly the same spot I’d seen them several times in the past. The journey was uneventful through mainly olive plantations, but soon the limestone massif of the Gargano came into view. A motorway service station provided an atypically unnatractive but convenient spot in which to eat lunch, Italian Sparrows in attendance. Having left the motorway our route took us east along the north coast of the Gargano peninsula, the roadside verges colourful with flowers. We made a welcome and productive stop at our traditional Paeonia peregrina site, and although this species is not always in flower at this time, we were delighted to find several superb red cup-shaped blooms as well as several more in bud. Pink Butterfly Orchids were much in evidence, with a few Green-winged Orchids. The only Ophrys fuciflora of the tour were here. The purple flowered Verbascum phoeniceum was in attractive flower and legumes were well represented, for example by the red Lathyrus cicera. The attractive umbellifer Tordylium apulum was a feature, as was Large Mediterranean Spurge, and there were many Ornithogalum divergens in flower.

  • Holiday Highlights Croatia and Slovenia 17 – 25 June 2017
    Holiday Highlights Croatia and Slovenia 17 – 25 June 2017 Guides: Roy Atkins, Milan Vogrin and Istvan Pentek Guests: Alison Cawley & John Scotford, Joyce & Tony Sawford, Sheila Rodgers, John Duerden, Christine & Max Maughan, Heather Welcome and Jane Atkins Day 1: We gather at Stansted Airport for our flight to Ljubljana where we arrive a little early. We are greeted by Milan, our local guide, along with an ‘apprentice guide’ called Istvan and our driver Janos. We are soon on our way heading quickly out of town and into the countryside and we pass agricultural fields but also woodlands and small villages before getting further out into the hills. Here the slopes of the hills become completely covered in forest and Milan explains that this is the second most heavily forested country in Europe after Finland. We see remarkably few birds - the occasional Buzzard but little else. We pass through Bled which is a real tourist spot with the beautiful blue lake, the castle perched above it on a rocky crag and the well photographed island church. Milan points out the strange gondola like boats being rowed by a standing man at the back - a speciality here. As we travel on, the countryside becomes even hillier and the snow-capped peaks of the Julian Alps are visible above the tree-line. We arrive at the hotel with a view out to the mountains and after a little time settling in meet up for our evening meal. A Spotted Flycatcher is nesting in the roof and also Tree Sparrows then, while we are eating, a family of Hawfinches fly in and land in the trees close by.

    BULGARIA Nick Greatorex-Davies. European Butterflies Group Contact ([email protected]) Local Contact Prof. Stoyan Beshkov. ([email protected]) National Museum of Natural History (NMNH), Sofia, Butterfly Conservation Europe Partner Bulgarian Academy of Sciences Stanislav Abadjiev compiled and collated butterfly records for the whole of Bulgaria and published a Local Recording Scheme distribution atlas in 2001 (see below). Records are still being gathered and can be sent to Stoyan Beshkov at NMNH, Sofia. Butterfly List See Butterflies of Bulgaria website (Details below) Introduction Bulgaria is situated in eastern Europe with its eastern border running along the Black Sea coast. It is separated from Romania for much of its northern border by the River Danube. It shares its western border with Serbia and Macedonia, and its southern border with Greece and Turkey. Bulgaria has a land area of almost 111,000 sq km (smaller than England but bigger than Scotland) and a declining human population of 7.15 million (as of 2015), 1.5 million of which live in the capital city, Sofia. It is very varied in both climate, topography and habitats. Substantial parts of the country are mountainous, particularly in the west, south-west and central ‘spine’ of the country and has the highest mountain in the Balkan Mountains (Musala peak in the Rila Mountains, 2925m) (Map 1). Almost 70% of the land area is above 200m and over 27% above 600m. About 40% of the country is forested and this is likely to increase through natural regeneration due to the abandonment of agricultural land. Following nearly 500 years under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, Bulgaria was independent for just a few years from 1908 before coming under the domination of the soviet communist regime in 1946.

  • Tympanal Ears in Nymphalidae Butterflies: Morphological Diversity and Tests on the Function of Hearing
    Tympanal Ears in Nymphalidae Butterflies: Morphological Diversity and Tests on the Function of Hearing by Laura E. Hall A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biology Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario, Canada © 2014 Laura E. Hall i Abstract Several Nymphalidae butterflies possess a sensory structure called the Vogel’s organ (VO) that is proposed to function in hearing. However, little is known about the VO’s structure, taxonomic distribution or function. My first research objective was to examine VO morphology and its accessory structures across taxa. Criteria were established to categorize development levels of butterfly VOs and tholi. I observed that enlarged forewing veins are associated with the VOs of several species within two subfamilies of Nymphalidae. Further, I discovered a putative light/temperature-sensitive organ associated with the VOs of several Biblidinae species. The second objective was to test the hypothesis that insect ears function to detect bird flight sounds for predator avoidance. Neurophysiological recordings collected from moth ears show a clear response to flight sounds and chirps from a live bird in the laboratory. Finally, a portable electrophysiology rig was developed to further test this hypothesis in future field studies. ii Acknowledgements First and foremost I would like to thank David Hall who spent endless hours listening to my musings and ramblings regarding butterfly ears, sharing in the joy of my discoveries, and comforting me in times of frustration. Without him, this thesis would not have been possible. I thank Dr.
