Introduction Phase 1 survey is a standardised system for classifying and mapping habitats allowing for a rapid assessment of habitat types and potential for biodiversity. Phase 3 survey provides more extensive detail to the extent and distribution of species within phase 1 habitat types. These survey methods were applied to all flora and fauna within Edinburgh Napier University campuses of Craiglockhart, Craighouse and Merchiston. This will provide Edinburgh Napier University with a detailed monthly cross-section of species taken over a one year period, species lists for each habitat type, along with all protected and designated species for each habitat type as identified in Phase 1 Habitat Mapping. The detailed information will be invaluable for management regarding any development, land management and species management within the campuses. These campuses, with the exception of Merchiston, are situated within a landscape that has mixed habitat types containing both trees of differing age structure, open maintained grassland and rough grassland along with buildings and other man made structures such as walls. Merchiston campus is within the heart of a built-up area and surrounded by roads and buildings and has limited habitat quality. However, this campus has exotic shrubs, a few trees and minimal grass areas that do contain some degree of flora and fauna. The information within this report will also be of benefit to students who may wish to use areas of the campus for studies for dissertations, research or other academic field study. Universities and students add a great deal to our knowledge, understanding and thinking on many complex issues which brings many benefits to society. This report will provide a strong baseline to enhance a more focused and in-depth study of ecological aspects within a city environment and its potential, a subject that has not been fully exploited and in many respects is still under-recorded. An understanding of the complexities of ecology within our cities has wide reaching benefits. For example planning areas for development, road infrastructure, housing, and industry can take into account biodiversity at an early phase of planning and help retain geomorphological links and corridors for both flora and fauna. This will go a long way in helping design a healthier environment for human populations to work and live in our cities and urban areas. 2. Methodology Habitat types within each campus are coded (Table 1) according to parameters given by the Nature Conservancy Council, (NCC 1990), reprinted with some minor revisions by Joint Nature Conservancy Council Handbook for Phase 1 habitat survey (JNCC, 2010). This publication gives a standardised system for habitat survey and mapping habitats. The Phase 3 species survey adds a considerable amount of data to Phase 1 where each habitat is provided with a detailed species list. This list contains the status of species in relation to any designation for protection from current legislation that exists. Phase 1 habitat coding principally refers to vegetation type which categorises and helps interpret different areas throughout each campus with a consistent level of detail and accuracy. This was then followed with a phase 3 survey which adds greater detail to the phase 1 by identifying flora and faunal communities and their distribution. By using a standardised 6 method for mapping habitat allows data from one area to be compared with that of another similar area. This information is of value to development planners highlighting nature conservation values within the landscape and allowing a more sensitive and focused mitigation procedure to take place at the planning phase of any project.

The recording began in August 2010 and ended in July 2011. Main biota types recorded were: flowering plants, grasses, ferns, lichens, fungi, invertebrates, mammals and birds. This inventory of biota misses out several other species groups which are important for biodiversity and these species groups were not included in the phase 3 survey due to a higher level of survey input and time required to conduct these surveys. This would have been impractical to carry out in conjunction with the current phase 1 & 3 surveys. For example a small mammal survey where traps have to be recorded each day and species released, traps moved and set up in another area to record a sample every three days. A full invertebrate survey would require four sets of sample type and collection each week for each habitat type within each campus. The size of sample would be extensive and take several months to analyse. However, the cross-section of biota recorded for this report gives a strong indication of the levels of biodiversity within campuses and where priority species are located. Table 2.

Weather was taken into account where all surveys took place in reasonable conditions avoiding very windy and continuous rain. In general only one specific group of species were surveyed at one time so that maximum focus could be maintained on that one group though some incidental sightings of other biota were recorded where these were known to be new records.

Changes in vegetation structure can alter the physical habitat structure, thermal environment, and food available to arthropods, which play an important role in the structure and functioning of Arctic ecosystems. Not only do they provide key ecosystem services such as pollination and nutrient cycling, they are an essential food source for migratory birds. In this study I examined the relationships between the abundance, diversity, and community composition of arthropods and the height and cover of several shrub species across a tundra-shrub gradient in northwestern Alaska. To characterize nestling diet of common passerines that occupy this gradient, I used next-generation sequencing of fecal matter. Willow cover was strongly and consistently associated with abundance and biomass of arthropods and significant shifts in arthropod community composition and diversity.

Carrière, in the southern Appalachians. However, the distribution and co-occurrence patterns of these species throughout the tree canopy are unknown. This study was initiated to evaluate specimen abundance, species richness and species composition among three designated strata in the canopy of eastern hemlock, assess species for vertical stratification patterns, and determine if co-occurrence patterns of Psocoptera species are random or non-random. During this study, 27 species representing 18 genera and 10 families were evaluated.

  • Entomologist's Record
    NOTES 19 Notable British barkfly (Psocoptera) observations in 2007 The year 2007 turned out to be an unusually poor year for barkflies possibly as a result of the prolonged periods of rain earlier in the year. Species recorded from deciduous tree branches were often restricted to Valenzuela flavidus and Ectopsocus species while finds on tree trunks tended to be the occasional Ectopsocus petersi. Conifers/evergreens however were largely unaffected and frequently had their usual suites of species. Despite the generally poor season several noteworthy sightings were made: Family Liposcelidae Liposcelis decolor (Pearman) Three female specimens of this species were found under the bark of a plane tree at the entrance to the Victoria & Albert Museum in London on 16.xi.2007 by RES (two of the specimens identified by Charles Lienhard). Liposcelis species have been rarely recorded out of doors in recent years but this is likely to be due to under-recording. Further searching of trees with laminated bark may well demonstrate that these tiny creatures are relatively widespread. Family Peripsocidae Peripsocus consobrinus Pearman Since its original discovery in 1930 this species has only been known from the holotype specimen found in Somerset. The finding of two specimens this year from a Sitka spruce plantation in Scotland has been reported elsewhere in this journal (Saville, antea 11-13). Family Trichopsocidae Trichopsocus clarus (Banks) Although there had only been two published observations from Britain previously, recording this year has shown that this species is actually much more widespread. RES recorded it at seven sites in Dorset and six sites in North Wales between 22.vii.2007 and 2.viii.2007.

  • Metabarcoding Malaise Traps and Soil Edna Reveals Seasonal and Local Arthropod Diversity Shifts Ameli Kirse1*, Sarah J
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Metabarcoding Malaise traps and soil eDNA reveals seasonal and local arthropod diversity shifts Ameli Kirse1*, Sarah J. Bourlat1, Kathrin Langen1 & Vera G. Fonseca1,2* Forest habitats host enormous diversity, but little is known about the seasonal turnover of arthropod species between the above- and below ground forest layers. In this study, we used metabarcoding approaches to uncover arthropod diversity in diferent forest types and seasons. Our study shows that metabarcoding soil eDNA and Malaise trap bulk samples can provide valuable insights into the phenology and life cycles of arthropods. We found major diferences in arthropod species diversity between soil samples and Malaise traps, with only 11.8% species overlap. Higher diversity levels were found in Malaise traps in summer whereas soil samples showed a diversity peak in winter, highlighting the seasonal habitat preferences and life strategies of arthropods. We conclude that collecting time series of bulk arthropod samples and eDNA in the same locations provides a more complete picture of local arthropod diversity and turnover rates and may provide valuable information on climate induced phenological shifts for long-term monitoring. Forests are known to be one of the most diverse habitats on earth, providing a vast range of ecological niches, resulting in outstanding arthropod diversity 1. Forests can be roughly divided into two habitats: the ground and the above ground layer, with both closely linked to each other by mutual relationships of the associated abiotic and biotic environment2. Some studies have shown how biotic interactions in soil can regulate the structure and functioning of aboveground communities.

  • A Global Class Reunion with Multiple Groups Feasting on the Declining Insect Smorgasbord Eero J
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A global class reunion with multiple groups feasting on the declining insect smorgasbord Eero J. Vesterinen1,2*, Kari M. Kaunisto3 & Thomas M. Lilley4 We report a detection of a surprising similarity in the diet of predators across distant phyla. Though just a frst glimpse into the subject, our discovery contradicts traditional aspects of biology, as the earliest notions in ecology have linked the most severe competition of resources with evolutionary relatedness. We argue that our fnding deserves more research, and propose a plan to reveal more information on the current biodiversity loss around the world. While doing so, we expand the recently proposed conservation roadmaps into a parallel study of global interaction networks. Darwin suggested 150 years ago that competition is strongest among closely related species1,2. While this senti- ment has endured time (but see3,4), it has been challenged by a call to increase attention to interactions between phylogenetically distant speciese.g.5. Nowhere is this call more topical than in the context of interactions involving insect diet, together with the current worldwide decline in insect numbers and biomass. Where recent research has fagged impacts on mutualistic interactions (e.g. pollination 6) as a particular concern, we know less about efects on antagonistic, trophic interactions. In this paper, we provide tentative evidence that predators separated by deep taxonomic divides (birds, bats, and dragonfies) tap into the very same resource setting of insect biomass, with widespread sharing of prey taxa. Tese fndings suggest that the current insect decline may resonate widely across the tree of life and that a globally concerted efort to trace trophic links from insects across ecosystems is urgently needed.

Yoshizawa, K.: Systematic Entomology, Graduate School of Agriculture, Hokkaido University, Sapporo 060-8589, Japan. Introduction Unfortunately, a comprehensive documentation of authorities for family-group names is lacking for psocids. This lack of information is particularly problematic in a period when phylogenetic research results in the frequent propositions of new classifications (e. g. Yoshizawa & Johnson, 2014; Yoshizawa et al., 2014; Yoshizawa, 2016). According to the principle of coordination applied to family-group names (ICZN Article 36) each name can be used in all ranks of the family-group with the same authorship and date, the rank-specific suffixes being -ina (subtribe), -ini (tribe), -inae (subfamily), -idae (family) and -oidea (superfamily). All family-group names of the suborder Trogiomorpha that we were able to retrieve from the literature are listed here, including names based on fossil genera clearly assignable to Psocoptera (see Mockford et al., 2013).
