BIOBLITZ 2020 Lille Vildmosecentret Mellemområdet LILLE VILDMOSE BIOBLITZ 2020 Lille Vildmosecentret Mellemområdet Arrangeret af Lille Vildmosecentret og Vildmoseforeningen Støttet af Lille Vildmose Naturfond Bioblitz i Lille Vildmose 2020 Skrevet af Mia Yung Heine Petersen, naturformidler - Lille Vildmosecentret For anden gang blev der afholdt bioblitz i Lille Vildmose. Sidste gang var i august 2017, hvor Mellemområdet i Lille Vildmose blev afsøgt for dyr og planter. I år blev bioblitzen afholdt i weekenden 29. - 30. august, hvor omkring 30 eksperter og naturnørder fra hele landet igen skulle finde så mange dyr- og plantearter som igtmul indenfor 24 timer. Startskudet lød kl. 10.00 lørdag d. 29. august, hvor vejret forinden ikke så ud til at være med os, men da startskudet lød var der heldigvis tørvejr. Ud forsvandt alle eksperter og naturnørder. Ud for at registrere myrer, svampe, biller, fugle, sommerfugle og andet liv i Lille Vildmose. Bioblitzen var afgrænset til at foregå i Mellemområdet, som er indhegnet af et 30 km. langt hegn og er 2100 ha. stort, samt på Lille Vildmosecentrets område som er 17 ha. stort. Alle deltagerer havde frivilligt afsat en weekend for at være med til at se om artstallet fra 2017 kunne overgås. Nogle af deltagerne deltog også i 2017, men i år havde vi også nye ansigter med. Grundet et 2020 hvor Covid-19 har præget næsten hele år 2020, så var der tvivl om den planlagte bioblitz kunne afholdes. Heldigvis kunne den gennemføres og Lille Vildmosecentrets nye store og flotte Naturskole-lokale blev taget i brug, således Covid-19 retningslinierne kunne overholdes. Ligesom i 2017 var der mu- lighed for at Lille Vildmosecentrets besøgende kunne blive klogere på en bioblitz samt børnefamilierne kunne komme på en mini-bioblitz. Lørdag aften, da mørket faldt på, blev der foretaget lyslokning ved Lille Vildmosecentret, og trods vejret, så blev der lokket nogle flotte og spændende sommerfugle frem. Søndag kl. 10.00luttede s bioblitzen og der var over 1.000 observeringer og godt 500 forskellige arter var registreret. Det var noget mindre end da bioblitzen i 2017 sluttede, da tallet var omkring 650 forskellige arter. Den umiddelbare tanke, var at vejret her i år, ikke var så godt som i 2017. Denne gang var der også behov for at nogle fund skulle med hjem og nærmere studeret således de kunne artbestemmes korrekt. Cirka to måeneder efter at bioblitzen blev afsluttet, er resultatet at der blev foretaget 1644 observeringer og 862 arter er registre ret. Det må derfor siges at resultatet er en succes, da tallet er næsten det samme som i 2017. Der er gået 3 år imellem den første bioblitz og nu den anden her i 2020. Begge bioblitz’er er afholdt i august, men med to forskellige vejrsituationer. På næste side findes der tabeller for hhv. 2017, 2020 og en status for begge år sammenlagt. Dykker vi lidt ned i tallene, så kan der konkluderes at artstallet for de to år, som tidligere nævnt, næsten er det samme. Men kigger vi på arterne sammenlagt for de to år, så er der funde t ca. 400 flere arter. Vejret har en påvirkning for hvilke dyrearter som kan blive observeret og derfor afvigel- ser i de forskellige dyre-, plante- og svampeklasser. Desuden afhænger arter også af del- tagernes ekspertiseområder og derfor også afvigelser for hvilket arter der er fundet og artsbestemt. Den samlede konklusion er, at der i alt er registreret ca. 1.300 forskellige arter i Mellemområdet samt på Lille Vildmosecentrets område. Vi ved at der forefindes mange flere arter, så det bliver spændende at se om der kan registreres flere forskellige arter, hvis sådan en bioblitz igen kommer til at foregå. 2017 - 894 arter DYRERIGET PLANTERIGET SVAMPERIGET Fisk 3 Sommerfugle 95 Snegle 8 Alger 2 Agaricomycetes 0 Fugle 78 Tovinger 38 Spindlere 48 Bladmosser 45 Basidiesvampe 33 Insekter 335 Trips 0 Blodmider 1 Bregner 5 Bægersvampe 0 Bark- /boglus 0 Vårfluer 2 Edderkopper 37 Enkimbladede 55 Dothideomycetes 1 Biller 87 Ørentviste 1 Fløjlsmider 5 Levermosser 14 Kernesvampe 2 Dovenfluer 1 Årevinger 27 Mejere 5 Nåletræer 4 Orbiliomycetes 0 Døgnfluer 1 Krybdyr 4 Mosskorpioner 0 Padderokke 2 Ravsampe 3 Græshopper 4 Muslinger 2 Springhaler 4 Tokimbladede 194 Rustsvampe 2 Guldsmede 22 Padder 4 Storkrebs 0 Ulvefod 2 Skivelavsvamper 19 Kakkerlakker 0 Pattedyr 7 Tanglopper 1 Sækdugsvampe 3 Netvinger 1 Sadelorme 2 Tanglus 6 Tåresvampe 0 Næbmunde 55 Skolopendre 3 Ægte Tusindben 3 Skorpionfluer 1 2020 - 862 arter DYRERIGET PLANTERIGET SVAMPERIGET Fisk 0 Sommerfugle 110 Snegle 12 Alger 0 Agaricomycetes 37 Fugle 97 Tovinger 72 Spindlere 56 Bladmosser 5 Basidiesvampe 0 Insekter 373 Trips 2 Blodmider 1 Bregner 3 Bægersvampe 1 Bark- /boglus 7 Vårfluer 1 Edderkopper 43 Enkimbladede 35 Dothideomycetes 2 Biller 62 Ørentviste 2 Fløjlsmider 3 Levermosser 0 Kernesvampe 5 Dovenfluer 0 Årevinger 34 Mejere 8 Nåletræer 3 Orbiliomycetes 1 Døgnfluer 0 Krybdyr 4 Mosskorpioner 1 Padderokke 1 Ravsampe 8 Græshopper 5 Muslinger 1 Springhaler 5 Tokimbladede 172 Rustsvampe 1 Guldsmede 8 Padder 4 Storkrebs 6 Ulvefod 2 Skivelavsvamper 10 Kakkerlakker 1 Pattedyr 7 Tanglopper 0 Sækdugsvampe 3 Netvinger 5 Sadelorme 1 Tanglus 0 Tåresvampe 2 Næbmunde 63 Skolopendre 2 Ægte Tusindben 3 Skorpionfluer 1 2017 + 2020 - 1297 arter DYRERIGET PLANTERIGET SVAMPERIGET Fisk 3 Sommerfugle 155 Snegle 15 Alger 2 Agaricomycetes 37 Fugle 111 Tovinger 94 Spindlere 84 Bladmosser 47 (Basidiesvampe 33) Insekter 578 Trips 2 Blodmider 1 Bregner 5 Bægersvampe 1 Bark- /boglus 7 Vårfluer 3 Edderkopper 60 Enkimbladede 62 Dothideomycetes 2 Biller 131 Ørentviste 2 Fløjlsmider 7 Levermosser 14 Kernesvampe 6 Dovenfluer 1 Årevinger 51 Mejere 18 Nåletræer 6 Orbiliomycetes 1 Døgnfluer 1 Krybdyr 4 Springhaler 8 Padderokke 2 Ravsampe 10 Græshopper 6 Muslinger 2 Storkrebs 6 Tokimbladede 238 Rustsvampe 1 Guldsmede 22 Padder 4 Tanglopper 1 Ulvefod 2 Skivelavsvamper 22 Kakkerlakker 1 Pattedyr 8 Tanglus 6 Sækdugsvampe 4 Netvinger 5 Sadelorme 2 Ægte Tusindben 4 Tåresvampe 2 Næbmunde 96 Skolopendre 3 Skorpionfluer 1 Artsliste for både år 2017 + år 2020 Benfisk Actinopterygii 2017 2020 Nipigget hundestejle Pungitius pungitius x Trepigget hundestejle Gasterosteus aculeatus x Ål Anguilla anguilla x Fugle Aves Allike Corvus monedula x Almindelig ryle Calidris alpina x Agerhøne Perdix perdix x Bjergand Aythya marila x Blishøne Fulica atra x x Blå kærhøg Circus cyaneus x Blåmejse Cyanistes caeruleus x x Bogfinke Fringilla coelebs x x Bomlærke Emberiza calandra x Brushane Philomachus pugnax x x Bynkefugl Saxicola rubetra x x Bysvale Delichon urbicum x x Canadagås Branta canadensis x Chilensk Pibeand Anas sibilatrix x Digesvale Riparia riparia x x Dobbeltbekkasin Gallinago gallinago x x Dompap Pyrrhula pyrrhula x Engpiber Anthus pratensis x x Fasan Phasianus colchicus x x Fiskehejre Ardea cinerea x x Fiskeørn Pandion haliaetus x Fuglekonge Regulus regulus x Gransanger Phylloscopus collybita x x Grønbenet rørhøne Gallinula chloropus x Grå fluesnapper Muscicapa striata x x Gråand Anas platyrhynchos x x Grågås Anser anser x x Gråkrage Corvus cornix x x Gråsisken Acanthis flammea x Gråspurv Passer domesticus x Gråstrubet lappedykker Podiceps grisegena x x Gul vipstjert Motacilla flava x x Gulspurv Emberiza citrinella x x Gærdesanger Sylvia curruca x Gærdesmutte Troglodytes troglodytes x x Fugle ...

    Sherwood Forest Invertebrate Directory 2013 Complete site species list and records from the late 1800's to 2012 Trevor and Dilys Pendleton January 2013 Sherwood Forest Invertebrate Directory 2012/2013 Welcome to the third edition of the Sherwood Forest Invertebrate Directory, which again aims to collate and update all of the site's invertebrate records into a single document. Once again, we are indebted to those invertebrate recorders who continue to send in their records for inclusion, yet are frustrated that most of the conservation and management organisations running and maintaining the NNR and surrounding area, seem totally uninterested in the huge range of invertebrates Sherwood Forest is home to. We are however, extremely grateful that the Sherwood Forest Trust at least show a more forward thinking attitude and are considerably more mindful with respect to site management when dealing with species diversity. Trevor and Dilys Pendleton January 2013 The Birklands and Bilhaugh, Birklands West and Ollerton Corner SSSI's and the Sherwood Forest NNR It would have been simpler if the Sherwood Forest NNR encompassed all the sites mentioned in the various species lists. But due to a legal loophole at the time of notification, Natural England had to notify the ancient Sherwood Forest area as two separate Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) which they continue to regard as representing the whole of the Birklands and Bilhaugh (Sherwood Forest) complex. The two SSSI’s are known as Birklands and Bilhaugh (of which the NNR forms part) and Birklands West and Ollerton Corner. Birklands and Bilhaugh SSSI The Birklands and Bilhaugh SSSI is made up of the Sherwood Forest Country Park, Budby South Forest, Proteus Square and Buck Gates.

  • Electric Eel Electrophorus Electricus
    Electric Eel Electrophorus electricus Gen. Habitat Water Habitat Rivers Temperature 0-35 C Humidity Undefined Pressure High Salinity 1000-3000 ppm pH 6.0-8.0 Summary: The electric eel is a species of fish found in the basins of the Amazon and Orinoco Rivers of South America. It can produce an electric discharge on the order of 600-650 volts, which it uses for both hunting and self-defense. It is an apex predator in its South American range. Despite its name it is not an eel at all but rather a knifefish. Description: A typical electric eel has an elongated square body, a flattened head, and an overall dark grayish green color shifting to yellowish on the bottom. They have almost no scales. The mouth is square, placed right at the end of the snout. The anal fin continues down the length of the body to the tip of their tail. It can grow up to 2.5 m (about 8.2 feet) in length and 20 kg (about 44 pounds) in weight, making them the largest Gymnotiform. 1 m specimens are more common. They have a vascularized respiratory organ in their oral cavity. These fish are obligate air-breathers; rising to the surface every 10 minutes or so, the animal will gulp air before returning to the bottom. Nearly 80% of the oxygen used by the fish is taken in this way. Despite its name, the electric eel is not related to eels but is more closely related to catfish. Scientists have been able to determine through experimental information that E.
