    Sand pit for Biodiversity at Cep II quarry Researcher: Klára Řehounková Research group: Petr Bogusch, David Boukal, Milan Boukal, Lukáš Čížek, František Grycz, Petr Hesoun, Kamila Lencová, Anna Lepšová, Jan Máca, Pavel Marhoul, Klára Řehounková, Jiří Řehounek, Lenka Schmidtmayerová, Robert Tropek Březen – září 2012 Abstract We compared the effect of restoration status (technical reclamation, spontaneous succession, disturbed succession) on the communities of vascular plants and assemblages of arthropods in CEP II sand pit (T řebo ňsko region, SW part of the Czech Republic) to evaluate their biodiversity and conservation potential. We also studied the experimental restoration of psammophytic grasslands to compare the impact of two near-natural restoration methods (spontaneous and assisted succession) to establishment of target species. The sand pit comprises stages of 2 to 30 years since site abandonment with moisture gradient from wet to dry habitats. In all studied groups, i.e. vascular pants and arthropods, open spontaneously revegetated sites continuously disturbed by intensive recreation activities hosted the largest proportion of target and endangered species which occurred less in the more closed spontaneously revegetated sites and which were nearly absent in technically reclaimed sites. Out results provide clear evidence that the mosaics of spontaneously established forests habitats and open sand habitats are the most valuable stands from the conservation point of view. It has been documented that no expensive technical reclamations are needed to restore post-mining sites which can serve as secondary habitats for many endangered and declining species. The experimental restoration of rare and endangered plant communities seems to be efficient and promising method for a future large-scale restoration projects in abandoned sand pits.

  • Nota Lepidopterologica
    ©Societas Europaea Lepidopterologica; download unter http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/ und www.zobodat.at Nota lepid. 26 (3/4): 89-98 89 Scythris buszkoi sp. n., a new species of Scythrididae from Europe (Gelechioidea) Tomasz Baran Institute of Biology and Environmental Protection, University of Rzeszöw, Rejtana 16C, 35-310 Rzeszöw, Poland. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Scythris buszkoi sp. n. is described from material collected in south-western Ukraine. The species was found at two different localities: Kam'janec'-Podil's'kyj (Khmelnytsky oblast) and Tovste (Ternopil oblast). Almost half of the type material was reared from larvae mining the leaves of Lycium barbarum L. (Solanaceae). The imago, male and female genitalia, as well as pupa and last instar larva are described and illustrated. Notes on the life history are also given. Some larval characters of phylo- genetic importance are discussed. Key words. Lepidoptera, Scythrididae, Scythris buszkoi, new species, immature stages, morphology, Ukraine, Europe. Introduction The family Scythrididae comprises small or medium sized, teardrop-shaped moths, frequently diurnal, dark-coloured, and cryptic in mode of life. The family is world- wide in distribution, and most members of Scythrididae live in various types of xerothermic habitats. The Scythrididae fauna of Europe is at present fairly well investigated. The results from research carried out mainly by two lepidopterists: Bengt Â. Bengtsson (Sweden) and Pietro Passerin d'Entrèves (Italy). Apart from many descriptive and faunistic arti- cles, two of their achievements are especially worth mentioning. One is the first com- prehensive monograph dealing with scythridid moths of Europe and North Africa (Bengtsson 1997), while the other is a list and summary of the distribution of all European species of the family (Passerin d'Entrèves 1996).

  • Liley Et Al., 2006B)
    Date: March 2010; Version: FINAL Recommended Citation: Liley D., Lake, S., Underhill-Day, J., Sharp, J., White, J. Hoskin, R. Cruickshanks, K. & Fearnley, H. (2010). Welsh Seasonality Habitat Vulnerability Review. Footprint Ecology / CCW. 1 Summary It is increasingly recognised that recreational access to the countryside has a wide range of benefits, such as positive effects on health and well-being, economic benefits and an enhanced understanding of and connection with the natural environment. There are also negative effects of access, however, as people’s presence in the countryside can impact on the nature conservation interest of sites. This report reviews these potential impacts to the Welsh countryside, and we go on to discuss how such impacts could be mapped across the entirety of Wales. Such a map (or series of maps) would provide a tool for policy makers, planners and access managers, highlighting areas of the countryside particularly sensitive to access and potentially guiding the location and provision of access infrastructure, housing etc. We structure the review according to four main types of impacts: contamination, damage, fire and disturbance. Contamination includes impacts such as litter, nutrient enrichment and the spread of exotic species. Within the section on damage we consider harvesting and the impacts of footfall on vegetation and erosion of substrates. The fire section addresses the impacts of fire (accidental or arson) on animals, plant communities and the soil. Disturbance is typically the unintentional consequences of people’s presence, sometimes leading to animals avoiding particular areas and impacts on breeding success, survival etc. We review the effects of disturbance to mammals, birds, herptiles and invertebrates and also consider direct mortality, for example trampling of nests or deliberate killing of reptiles.
