Quantifying Dispersal in British Noctuid Moths
Quantifying dispersal in British noctuid moths Hayley Bridgette Clarke Jones Doctor of Philosophy University of York Biology September 2014 1 Abstract Dispersal is an important process in the ecology and evolution of organisms, affecting species’ population dynamics, gene flow, and range size. Around two thirds of common and widespread British macro-moths have declined in abundance over the last 40 years, and dispersal ability may be important in determining whether or not species persist in this changing environment. However, knowledge of dispersal ability in macro-moths is lacking because dispersal is difficult to measure directly in nocturnal flying insects. This thesis investigated the dispersal abilities of British noctuid moths to examine how dispersal ability is related to adult flight morphology and species’ population trends. Noctuid moths are an important taxon to study because of their role in many ecosystem processes (e.g. as pollinators, pests and prey), hence their focus in this study. I developed a novel tethered flight mill technique to quantify the dispersal ability of a range of British noctuid moths (size range 12 – 27 mm forewing length). I demonstrated that this technique provided measures of flight performance in the lab (measures of flight speed and distance flown overnight) that reflected species’ dispersal abilities reported in the wild. I revealed that adult forewing length was a good predictor of inter- specific differences in flight performance among 32 noctuid moth species. I also found high levels of intra-specific variation in flight performance, and both adult flight morphology and resource-related variables (amount of food consumed by individuals prior to flight, mass loss by adults during flight) contributed to this variation. -

Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation Wales Guidance (Pdf)
Wildlife Sites Guidance Wales A Guide to Develop Local Wildlife Systems in Wales Wildlife Sites Guidance Wales A Guide to Develop Local Wildlife Systems in Wales Foreword The Welsh Assembly Government’s Environment Strategy for Wales, published in May 2006, pays tribute to the intrinsic value of biodiversity – ‘the variety of life on earth’. The Strategy acknowledges the role biodiversity plays, not only in many natural processes, but also in the direct and indirect economic, social, aesthetic, cultural and spiritual benefits that we derive from it. The Strategy also acknowledges that pressures brought about by our own actions and by other factors, such as climate change, have resulted in damage to the biodiversity of Wales and calls for a halt to this loss and for the implementation of measures to bring about a recovery. Local Wildlife Sites provide essential support between and around our internationally and nationally designated nature sites and thus aid our efforts to build a more resilient network for nature in Wales. The Wildlife Sites Guidance derives from the shared knowledge and experience of people and organisations throughout Wales and beyond and provides a common point of reference for the most effective selection of Local Wildlife Sites. I am grateful to the Wales Biodiversity Partnership for developing the Wildlife Sites Guidance. The contribution and co-operation of organisations and individuals across Wales are vital to achieving our biodiversity targets. I hope that you will find the Wildlife Sites Guidance a useful tool in the battle against biodiversity loss and that you will ensure that it is used to its full potential in order to derive maximum benefit for the vitally important and valuable nature in Wales. -

Climate Change and Shifts in the Distribution of Moth Species in Finland, with a Focus on the Province of Kainuu
14 Climate Change and Shifts in the Distribution of Moth Species in Finland, with a Focus on the Province of Kainuu Juhani H. Itämies1, Reima Leinonen2 and V. Benno Meyer-Rochow3,4 1Kaitoväylä 25 A 6; SF-90570 Oulu; 2Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment for Kainuu, Kajaani, 3Faculty of Engineering and Sciences, Jacobs University Bremen, Research II, D-28759 4Bremen and Department of Biology; Oulu University; SF-90014 Oulu, 1,2,3Finland 4Germany 1. Introduction Distributions and abundances of insect species depend on a variety of factors, but whether we focus on food plants and availability, environmental niches and shelters, predators or parasites, by far the most important limiting factor is climate. Shifts in insect community structure have successfully been correlated with glacial and inter-glacial periods (Coope 1995; Ashworth 1997; Morgan 1997), but have also attracted the attention of researchers concerned with current climate trends. Parmesan (2001) and Forester et al. (2010) examined examples from North America and Europe and emphasized that predictions of responses to a warmer climate must incorporate observations on habitat loss or alteration, land management and dispersal abilities of the species in question. For the United Kingdom, Hill et al. (2001) have summarized data on changes in the distribution of specifically three butterfly species (Pararge aegeria, Aphantopus hyperantus, and Pyronia tithonus). These authors report that the three species have been shifting northward since the 1940s and they present maps of simulated butterfly distributions for the period 2070-2099, based on the changes seen since the 1940s. According to that scenario Iceland will see some colonies of these three species in less than a hundred years. -

E-Moth October 2017
E-moth Moths Count Update October 2017 Autumn is here again according to the chilly misty mornings, falling leaves, not to mention the moths to be found in the trap. In recent weeks there have been many sightings of Clifden Nonpareil, it’s had its best year ever in Devon with eight individuals, all recorded during September. To our knowledge the moth has also been seen in Somerset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Sussex, Kent, Hertfordshire, Suffolk and South Wales. Apologies for any omissions, there may well be more sightings but they’re not all submitted in way that we can report on them in a timely fashion. I loved this quote posted on the Sussex Moth Group website from Mike and Karen Galtry from Clifden Nonpareil (Les Evans-Hill) Worthing “Saturday night's trap was dreadful: a small handful of very common and particularly drab moths to show to our visitors... until the worst trap of the year became the best, when this huge Clifden Nonpareil spread its wings.” The Box Tree Moth Cydalima perspectalis appears to have had a spectacular year. We have received numerous enquiries and identification requests, far more than in previous years, about this species from members of the public. The Box Tree Moth was accidentally introduced to the UK. The first report was in 2007 in Kent and by 2011 caterpillars had been found in a private garden. This species is well established in the London area, it is spreading in distribution and the population appears to be growing. It may also be resident, very locally, in other parts of southern England between Essex and Gloucestershire, and has been recorded from Cydalima perspectalis (Tom Tams) Cornwall north to Northumberland. -
