  • An Investigation of Vegetation and Environmental Change in the Comeragh Mountains
    An investigation of vegetation and environmental change in the Comeragh Mountains Dr Bettina Stefanini An investigation of vegetation and environmental change in the Comeragh Mountains Prepared by Dr Bettina Stefanini 8 Middle Mountjoy Street Phibsboro Dublin 7 Phone: 087 218 0048 email: [email protected] February 2013 2 Introduction Ireland has a dense network of over 475 palaeoecological records of Quaternary origin. However, there are few late-Holocene vegetation records from Waterford and the extant ones are truncated (Mitchell et al. 2013). Thus the county presents a blank canvas regarding prehistoric vegetation dynamics. Likewise, possible traces in the environment of its well documented 18th century mining and potential earlier mining history have not been found so far. This study was commissioned by the Metal Links project, at the Copper Coast Geopark, which is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through the Ireland Wales Programme 2007 - 2013 (Interreg 4A). It aims to investigate vegetation dynamics, mining history and environmental change in the Comeragh Mountains. Site description and sampling Ombrotrophic peat is the most promising medium for geochemical analysis since metal traces are thought to be immobile in this matrix (Mighall et al. 2009). Such deposits are equally well suited for microfossil analysis and for this reason the same cores were chosen for both analyses. The selection of potential study sites presented difficulties due to extensive local disturbance of peat sediments. Initial inspection of deposits on the flanks of the Comeragh Mountains revealed that past peat harvesting had removed or disturbed much of this material and thus rendered it unsuitable for analysis.

  • Barber & Gallon, 2020
    Bulletin of the British Myriapod & Isopod Group Volume 32 (2020) Upland centipedes in North Wales with a review of the Welsh Chilopoda Anthony D. Barber1 and Richard Gallon2 1 7 Greenfield Drive, Ivybridge, Devon, PL21 0UG. Email: [email protected] 2 23a Roumania Crescent, Llandudno, North Wales, LL30 1UP. Email: [email protected] Abstract Since Eason’s (1957) paper on centipedes from Carnarvonshire there has been an accumulation of centipede records from various parts of Wales but relatively few are from upland areas. Recent records from Snowdonia included several species, including Lithobius (Monotarsobius) curtipes, from locations up to around 1,000m. We present a review of centipedes recorded from the 13 Welsh vice-counties which includes 41 species, 4 of which are from buildings or heated greenhouses, 4 apparently obligate halophiles from coastal sites and one doubtful. Wales has a variety of types of habitat including both lowland and montane rural areas and urban/industrial/post-industrial locations which no doubt contributes to the diversity of its chilopod fauna. Introduction The centipede Lithobius curtipes is not known in Britain from large numbers of past records, indeed in his Cotteswold paper of 1953, E.H. Eason (Eason, 1953) had referred to his record from Kildanes Scrubs, Gloucestershire in 1952 as only the third British record. The finding of it by RG at around 1,000m in Snowdonia, along with Lithobius variegatus and Strigamia acuminata at similar heights, prompted us to look at the occurrence of upland centipedes in North Wales and in Wales in general and to review the species recorded from the principality.
