Knepp Castle Estate baseline ecological survey. English Nature Research Reports, No. 693. Preface Using grazing animals as a management tool is widespread across the UK. However allowing a mixture of large herbivores to roam freely with minimal intervention and outside the constraints of livestock production systems in order to replicate a more natural, pre- industrial, ecosystem is not as commonplace. The Knepp Castle Estate project provides the opportunity to study and evaluate habitat and biodiversity changes that may result in one area of southern England when a more natural grazing regime is implemented. Such changes cannot be assessed if there is no knowledge of the area of habitat types at the outset of a project and if there is similarly no knowledge of its flora and fauna. This report presents a baseline study of the ecology of Knepp Castle and is as comprehensive as the available resources would permit. Acknowledgements Many people have contributed both to this report and to the Knepp Castle Estate project. I would first like to thank all those who carried out fieldwork or specimen identification in 2005, sometimes in weather conditions that were less than ideal. In alphabetical order, these are: Professor Paul Buckland, Charlie Burrell, Mike Edwards, Mark Elliott, Dr Tim Freed, Peter Hodge, Rich Howorth, Paul James, Alexander Kent, Dr Gerald Legg, Andy Phillips, Yohanna Regis, Dr Patrick Roper, Kate Ryland, Anne Sanders, Fran Southgate, Dr Jacqui Middleton, Antonio Uzal, Dr Barrie Watson, Daniel Whitby and Dr Martin Willing. Thanks also to those who read through the report, in particular Henri Brocklebank, Charlie Burrell, Jason Emrich, Rich Howorth, Dr Keith Kirby and Dr Tony Whitbread. Dr Anita Diaz helped with the planning of some of the fieldwork and gave advice on statistical analysis. Cath Laing produced the maps, and Charles Roper was always there to unravel technical difficulties. Although already mentioned, particular thanks must be given to Charlie and Isabella Burrell, whose hospitality has been generous and without whom this project would not have been possible. On behalf of Tim Freed, Anne Sanders and Antonio Uzal, I would like to express thanks and gratitude to Charlie and Isabella for kindly putting them up overnight. Jason Emrich provided invaluable assistance in ensuring the fieldwork could take place; and finally, thanks also to the staff in the Estate Office for their help. Summary Following World War II, the Knepp Castle Estate was, in common with much of southern England, under increasingly intensive arable management. The decision of its owner, Charlie Burrell, to return the Estate to a more natural environment has resulted in some 322 hectares being taken out of arable cultivation and instead grazed with a low number of cattle, pigs, ponies and deer. Intervention is minimal within compliance with UK legislation. The interest in conservation grazing and near-natural grazing and the differences between these two systems is currently high, following Frans Vera’s book Grazing Ecology and Forest History and the debate that this publication has subsequently engendered. However there are many as yet unanswered questions regarding how a near-natural system might operate in 21st Century Europe, despite the seminal example of Oostvaardersplassen in the Netherlands. By moving a considerable way towards near-natural grazing, the Knepp Castle Estate presents the chance to explore some of these issues. Baseline ecological information is a prerequisite to evaluating the short, medium and long term changes that more natural grazing might drive on the Knepp Estate. Commissioned and voluntary fieldwork carried out in the summer of 2005 covered the following: • Habitat survey • NVC and vascular plant survey of the River Adur corridor across Knepp • Lichen survey • Fixed point photography • Wetland Mollusca • Odonata • Lepidoptera • Wetland Coleoptera • Ant survey • Pitfall trap invertebrates • Amphibian survey • Reptile survey • Breeding bird survey • Barn owls • Bat survey • Water vole survey • Water shrew survey • Dormouse survey • Other small mammals (shrews, voles, mice) survey Each of these surveys is presented in this report, although for reasons of size, much of the raw data is not presented here. As indicated throughout the report, this raw data and the digital photographs are available from the Record Centre Survey Unit. The results of the surveys are discussed and future lines of research and surveillance are recommended. Although an objective of this report is that the information contained in it should be used to guide future research, surveillance and monitoring, it is not within its remit to develop such a strategy here. This study will provide a baseline against which any ecological changes resulting from a more natural grazing regime can be measured.

Summary Synonymical notes on several genera and species of Tortricidae are given. Stenop- teron, a new Cnephasiini genus is described. Phtheochroa undulata (Danilevskij, 1962), comb. n. This species was described on the basis of a single female from Central Asia (Dshungarian Ala-Tau). A specimen collected by Dr. Z. Kaszab, Buda- pest, in Mongolia (Gobi Altai aimak : Baga nuuryn urd els, 1200 m., 12.VII.1966) has almost identical wing markings as the holotype of undu- lata. Its male genitalia (Figs 1, 2) are characterised as follows. Uncus fairly short, tapering terminally ; socius broad, sublateral ; sacculus strong, ven- trally convex, with long subapical process ; median part of transtilla so- mewhat expanded dorsally, without any spines ; aedeagus as in Ph. pulvillana (H.-S.), but distal process of juxta absent. The described specimen is most probably conspecific with undulata. Acleris kuznetsovi nom. n. Croesia 6/co/orKuzNETSOV, 1964, Ent. Obozr. 43 : 879, junior secondary homonym of Acleris bicolor Kawabe, 1963, Trans, lep. Soc. Japan 14 : 70. The name bicolor became a junior homonym when Croesia Hübner was synonymised with Acleris Hübner (Razowski, 1987).

(Lepidoptera: Coleophoridae) Ignác Richter Abstract. Present article brings information about new findings of case–bearing moths (Lepidoptera: Coleophoridae) from the Balkan Peninsula. Several species of the genus Coleophora were recorded for the first time for some of the Balkan countries. Coleophora herniariae, C. daglarica and C. albipennella are recorded as new for the fauna of Europe. The description Coleophora vardarella Richter, sp. nov., from Macedonia is given. Keywords. Lepidoptera, Coleophoridae, Coleophora vardarella sp. nov., Coleophora herniariae, Coleophora daglarica, Coleophora albipennella, Macedonia, the Balkan Peninsula. Author’s address. Ignác Richter | Malá Čausa 289, SK–971 01, Slovakia E-mail: [email protected] Introduction Intensive faunistic research of small moths (“Microlepidoptera”) of the Balkan Peninsula continues for several decades already and lasts until the recent times. The family Coleophoridae Bruand, 1850 belongs to the less known moths of the Balkans, therefore our focus has been oriented towards this large Lepidoptera family. Faunistic and systematic studies of this moth group in the Balkans resulted in interesting findings. One of the most important recent works about the genera Coleophora Hübner, 1822 and Goniodoma Zeller, 1849 of the Balkan Peninsula is the contribution of Richter & Pastorális (2015). Results of surveys conducted by seni- or author, executed in the years 2010–2014 at different sites of Croatia, Montene- gro, Macedonia, and Bulgaria were presented.

As a result of a series of studies conducted within the Forest Reserve of Hârboanca (Vaslui) between June 2005 and October 2006, there were identified 60 species of leaf-mining insects, belonging to 14 families, from three different orders: Lepidoptera (83%), Diptera (12%) and Hymenoptera (5%). The “mines” caused by the larvae of these insects were identified on 34 different species of hosting plants, mostly wooden plants. The leaf-mining Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera larvae are more likely to grow on wooden plants, while those belonging to the Diptera order prefer herbaceous plants. One of the species, Phyllonorycter issikii (Kumata) found here was signaled for the first time in Romanian fauna, while other ten species were encountered for the first time in Moldavia. Keywords: leaf-mining insects, Forest Reserve of Hârboanca, Romanian, fauna. Rezumat. Insecte miniere semnalate în Rezervaţia Forestieră Hârboanca (Vaslui). În urma studiilor efectuate în Rezervaţia Forestieră Hârboanca (Vaslui) în perioada iunie 2005 - octombrie 2006 s-au identificat 60 de specii de insecte miniere care aparţin la 14 familii, grupate în 3 ordine: Lepidoptera (83%), Diptera (12%) şi Hymenoptera (5%). Minele provocate de larvele insectelor miniere au fost identificate pe 34 de specii de plante-gazdă, majoritatea fiind de esenţă lemnoasă. Larvele lepidopterelor şi himenopterelor miniere se dezvoltă mai mult pe plantele lemnoase, în schimb dipterele preferă plantele ierboase.
