												  (Aculeata) in Birch Stands of the Air-Polluted Area of Northern BohemiaJOURNAL OF FOREST SCIENCE, 49, 2003 (4): 148–158 Hymenoptera (Aculeata) in birch stands of the air-polluted area of Northern Bohemia E. KULA1, P. TYRNER2 1Mendel University of Agriculture and Forestry, Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology, Brno, Czech Republic 2Litvínov Grammar School, Litvínov, Czech Republic ABSTRACT: The Hymenoptera (Aculeata) fauna was studied in birch stands (Betula pendula Roth) of colder areas of Northern Bohemia using the method of Moericke’s yellow traps. Altogether 159 species were trapped; the most important were Andrena lappona, Vespula vulgaris, Halictus sp., Trypoxylon minus and Vespula rufa. Only 12.7% of the species are widely spread in this ecosystem type. In 1990–1994 and in 1995–1999 we compared the abundance of the fauna and discovered that many species of the families Apidae and Sphecidae receded from the birch stands due to changing site conditions (light, weed infestation).

												  Bees and Wasps of the East Sussex South DownsA SURVEY OF THE BEES AND WASPS OF FIFTEEN CHALK GRASSLAND AND CHALK HEATH SITES WITHIN THE EAST SUSSEX SOUTH DOWNS Steven Falk, 2011 A SURVEY OF THE BEES AND WASPS OF FIFTEEN CHALK GRASSLAND AND CHALK HEATH SITES WITHIN THE EAST SUSSEX SOUTH DOWNS Steven Falk, 2011 Abstract For six years between 2003 and 2008, over 100 site visits were made to fifteen chalk grassland and chalk heath sites within the South Downs of Vice-county 14 (East Sussex). This produced a list of 227 bee and wasp species and revealed the comparative frequency of different species, the comparative richness of different sites and provided a basic insight into how many of the species interact with the South Downs at a site and landscape level. The study revealed that, in addition to the character of the semi-natural grasslands present, the bee and wasp fauna is also influenced by the more intensively-managed agricultural landscapes of the Downs, with many species taking advantage of blossoming hedge shrubs, flowery fallow fields, flowery arable field margins, flowering crops such as Rape, plus plants such as buttercups, thistles and dandelions within relatively improved pasture. Some very rare species were encountered, notably the bee Halictus eurygnathus Blüthgen which had not been seen in Britain since 1946. This was eventually recorded at seven sites and was associated with an abundance of Greater Knapweed. The very rare bees Anthophora retusa (Linnaeus) and Andrena niveata Friese were also observed foraging on several dates during their flight periods, providing a better insight into their ecology and conservation requirements.

												  Aculeate Bee and Wasp Survey Report 2015/16 for the Knepp Wildland ProjectAculeate bee and wasp survey report 2015/16 for the Knepp Wildland Project Thomas Wood and Dave Goulson School of Life Sciences, The University of Sussex, Falmer, BN1 9QG Methodology Aculeate bees and wasps were surveyed on the Knepp Castle Estate as part of their biodiversity monitoring programme during the 2015/2016 seasons. The southern block, comprising 473 hectares, was selected for the survey as it is the most extensively rewilded section of the estate. Nine areas were identified in the southern block and each one was surveyed by free searching for 20 minutes on each visit. Surveys were conducted on April 13th, June 3rd and June 30th in 2015 and May 20th, June 24th, July 20th, August 7th and August 12th in 2016. Survey results and species of note A total of 62 species of bee and 30 species of wasp were recorded during the survey. This total includes seven bee and four wasp species of national conservation importance (Table 1, Table 2). Rarity classifications come from Falk (1991) but have been modified by TW to take account of the major shifts in abundance that have occurred since the publication of this review. The important bee species were Andrena labiata, Ceratina cyanea, Lasioglossum puncticolle, Macropis europaea, Melitta leporina, Melitta tricincta and Sphecodes scabricollis. Both A. labiata and C. cyanea show no particular affinity for clay. Both forage from a wide variety of plants and are considered scarce nationally for historical reasons and for their restricted southern distribution. M. leporina and M. tricincta are both oligolectic bees, collecting pollen from one botanical family only.

Hymenoptera, Chrysididae, cuckoo wasps, parasite specialization, trap nest, Chrysis, host specificity Abstract. Cuckoo wasps (Chrysididae) are a medium-sized and widespread family of Hymenoptera whose species are generally para- sitoids or cleptoparasites of solitary wasps and bees. The identities of the hosts are known from various studies and occasional records; however the utility of such data is often low due to unstable taxonomy of the species and the inappropriate methods used to determine the host species. Therefore, despite numerous publications on the subject, the host-parasite relationships of cuckoo wasps are poorly understood. Moreover, a revision of existing literature reveals that cuckoo wasps are often unreasonably considered to be unspecialized (i.e., sharing host species). In this study we use an accurate method (trap-nests) to determine the host relationships of Estonian cuckoo wasps of the genera Chrysis and Trichrysis and determine their level of specialization. 568 trap nest bundles (each containing 15–20 single reed stems) were established at 361 locations across Estonia during the vegetation periods of 2009–2011.

												  Check-List of Eumeninae Wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) Collected in Lithuania Using Trap-Nests140 NEW AND RARE FOR LITHUANIA INSECT SPECIES. Volume 21 CHECK-LIST OF EUMENINAE WASPS (HYMENOPTERA: VESPIDAE) COLLECTED IN LITHUANIA USING TRAP-NESTS EDUARDAS BUDRYS 1, 2 , ANNA BUDRIEN Ė1, ŽANETA NEVRONYT Ė 1, 2 1 Institute of Ecology of Vilnius University, Akademijos 2, LT-08412 Vilnius, Lithuania. 2 Department of Zoology of Vilnius University, M.K. Čiurlionio g. 21/27, LT-03101 Vilnius, Lithuania. E-mail: [email protected] Introduction The Vespidae wasps are widely distributed and abundant, however, the knowledge of distribution and abundance of these insects in the Lithuanian fauna is limited. First three species ( Vespula germanica , Ancistrocerus antilope and Eumenes coarctatus ) were listed by Strand (1918). Wengris (1962) supplemented the check-list with 18 species. Five new species were recorded by Budrys (1997). Finally, our earlier studies of prey (Budrien ė, 2003), nesting cavity choice (Budrien ė et al ., 2004) and population size (Budrys et al ., 2004) included four additional species, though the accurate species distribution data were not presented. The Fauna Europaea database (Gusenleitner, 2004) contains 24 species that are supposed to be present in Lithuania; however, it is not supported by collection data or references where the records may be found. In total, the current check-list of Vespidae of the Lithuanian fauna included 36 species. The aim of this contribution is to provide precise distribution data on the Eumeninae wasps collected using trap-nests in 1988–2008, including those used in our earlier studies of wasp ecology and behaviour, and supplementing the local species check-list with one new species. Material and methods We reared the wasps from their nests which were collected using small trap-nests.

In 1978-1985 the studies carried out in the Świętokrzyski National Park and in a wide belt of adjoining areas, examined Aculeata of the following families: Clirysididae, Tiphiidae , Sapygidae , Myrtnosidae, Vespidae, Eumenidae and Sphecidae. 141 species were recorded, among others: N otozus bidens, Discoelius dufourii, Ectemnius spinipes , Crossocerus barbipes, C. congener and C. cinxius. WSTĘP Celem niniejszej pracy było określenie składu gatunkowego wybranych rodzin żądłówek Świętokrzyskiego Parku Narodowego i otuliny. Uwzględniono następują ce rodziny: Chrysididae, Tiphiidae , Sapygidae, Myrmosidae, Vespidae , Eumenidae i Sphecidae. Wykorzystano także materiał zebrany na innych stanowiskach w Gó rach Świętokrzyskich. Wymienione rodziny nie były do tej pory badane w ŚPN. Dane z piśmiennictwa dotyczą obrzeża Gór Świętokrzyskich. Z okolic Opatowa 31 gatunków żądłówek, z wymienionych wyżej rodzin, podałDrogoszewski (1932, 1934). W trakcie obecnych badań nie potwierdzono 16 z podanych przez tego autora gatunków, co wskazywać może na odrębność badanego terenu. Wzorując się na katalogu złotolitek ( B a n a s z a k 1980) nie uwzględniono danych o żądłówkach okolic Jędrzejowa (Karczewski 1962, 1967), odnosząc je do Wyżyny Małopolskiej. Wykorzystany w pracy materiał został zebrany w okresie od 1978 do 1985 roku. Badania prowadzono z różną intensywnością, mniejszą w okresie 1978-1981 i większą w pozostałych latach.

ISBN 1 870393 39 2 The Institute of Terrestrial Ecology (1TE)is a component research organisation within the Natural Environment Research Council. The Institute is part of the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, and was established in 1973 by the merger of the research stations of the Nature Conservancy with the Institute of Tree Biology_ It has been at the forefront of ecological research ever since. The six research stations of the Institute provide a ready access to sites and to environmental and ecological problems in any pan of Britain. In addition co the broad environmental knowledge and experience expected of the modern ecologist, each station has a range of special expertise and facilities. Thus. the Institute is able to provide unparallelled opportunities for long-term, multidisciplinary studies of complex environmental and ecological problems. 1TE undertakes specialist ecological research on subjects ranging from micro-organisms to trees and mammals, from coastal habitats to uplands, trom derelict land to air pollution. Understanding the ecology of different species lit- natural and man-made communities plays an increasingly important role in areas such as monitoring ecological aspects of agriculture, improving productivity in forestry, controlling pests, managing and conserving wildlife, assessing the causes and effects of pollution, and rehabilitating disturbed sites.

												  The Essex Field ClubTHE ESSEX FIELD CLUB HEADQUARTERS: THE PASSMORE EDWARDS MUSEUM, ROMFORD ROAD, STRATFORD, LONDON, E15 4LZ NEWSLETTER NO. 12 December 1994 ESSEX FIELD CLUB EPPING FOREST MUSEUM AND TAXONOMIC WORKSHOP At its meeting on the 14th November the City of London Epping Forest & Open Spaces Committee expressed a very strong interest in becoming involved in the most effective way in safeguarding the Field Club's former collections. How best to be involved has still to be decided, and no specific decision has yet been made. The committee has however asked to be provided with costs of various opions and will meet to consider the matter further on January 6th. If by one means or another a new museum comes about, it would become the Club's new headquarters and we hope it would provide a wide range of facilities for its members, including a meeting room/taxonomic workshop. To equip this workshop the club is planning to apply for a separate grant, and we need the advice of members, and especially our recorders, to compile the shopping list. It is our intention that the workshop facilities will also be available to associated learned natural history societies, and again we would like to hear from any societies in the London/Essex area who would be interested in participating. The proposed workshop facilities fall into three categories. We would like to acquire as complete a set as we can of the latest identification guides to relevant groups of organisms in the county. To do this effectively would mean for example buying well over £3000 worth of modern mycological monographs and regional European fungus floras.
