NORWICH: PRINTED BY FLETCHER AND SON. 1879. — The Norfolk and Norwich Naturalists' Society has for its objects : 1. The Practical study of- Natural Science. 2. The protection, by its influence with landowners and others, of indigenous species requiring protection, and the circulation of information which may dispel prejudices leading to their destruction. 3. The discouragement of the practice of destroying the rarer species of birds that occasionally visit the County, and of exterminating rare plants in their native localities. 4. The record of facts and traditions connected with the habits, distribution, and former abundance or otherwise of animals and plants which have become extinct in the County; and the use of all legitimate means to prevent the extermination of existing species, more especially those known to be diminishing in numbers. 5. The publication of Papers on Natural History, contributed to the Society, especially such as relate to the County of Norfolk. 6. The facilitating a friendly intercourse between local Naturalists, by means of Meetings for the reading and discussion of papers and for the exhibition of specimens, supplemented by Field-meetings and Excursions, with a view to extend the study of Natural Science on a sound and systematic basis.

  • UNIVERSITY of READING Delivering Biodiversity and Pollination Services on Farmland
    UNIVERSITY OF READING Delivering biodiversity and pollination services on farmland: a comparison of three wildlife- friendly farming schemes Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Agri-Environmental Research School of Agriculture, Policy and Development Chloe J. Hardman June 2016 Declaration I confirm that this is my own work and the use of all material from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged. Chloe Hardman i Abstract Gains in food production through agricultural intensification have come at an environmental cost, including reductions in habitat diversity, species diversity and some ecosystem services. Wildlife- friendly farming schemes aim to mitigate the negative impacts of agricultural intensification. In this study, we compared the effectiveness of three schemes using four matched triplets of farms in southern England. The schemes were: i) a baseline of Entry Level Stewardship (ELS: a flexible widespread government scheme, ii) organic agriculture and iii) Conservation Grade (CG: a prescriptive, non-organic, biodiversity-focused scheme). We examined how effective the schemes were in supporting habitat diversity, species diversity, floral resources, pollinators and pollination services. Farms in CG and organic schemes supported higher habitat diversity than farms only in ELS. Plant and butterfly species richness were significantly higher on organic farms and butterfly species richness was marginally higher on CG farms compared to farms in ELS. The species richness of plants, butterflies, solitary bees and birds in winter was significantly correlated with local habitat diversity. Organic farms supported more evenly distributed floral resources and higher nectar densities compared to farms in CG or ELS. Compared to maximum estimates of pollen demand from six bee species, only organic farms supplied sufficient pollen in late summer.

  • Bees and Wasps of the East Sussex South Downs
    A 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.

  • Hymenoptera (Aculeata) of Spruce Stands in the Air-Pollution Region of Northern Bohemia
    JOURNAL OF FOREST SCIENCE, 49, 2003 (5): 200–207 Hymenoptera (Aculeata) of spruce stands in the air-pollution region 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: Using Moericke’s yellow dishes we studied the Hymenoptera (Aculeata) fauna (with the exception of Formicoidea) in spruce (Picea abies) stands of the colder region of Northern Bohemia. We collected 103 species and the most important species in this spectrum were Vespula vulgaris (56.4%), Vespula rufa (4.7%), Dolichovespula norvegica (3.1%), Dolichovespula saxonica (4%), Nysson spinosus (1.8%), Andrena lappona (1.9%), Cleptes semiauratus (5.9%), Halictus sp. (6.7%) and Trypoxylon minus (2.2%). Comparisons made in 1990–1994 and 1995–1999 indicated a recession of species of the genus Halictus, of Andrena nitida (Apidae), Pemphredon lugubris, Trypoxylon clavicerum and T. minus (Sphecidae), and an increased abundance of Cleptes semiau- ratus (Cleptidae), Nysson spinosus (Sphecidae), Vespula vulgaris and V. rufa (Vespidae). Compared to closed stands, open spruce stands had a greater species diversity and lower number of captured specimens.

  • The Type Material of Swedish Bees (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) III
    Ent. Tidskr. 130 (2009) Type material of Swedish bees III The type material of Swedish bees (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) III L. ANDERS NILSSON Nilsson, L.A.: The type material of Swedish bees (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) III. [Typma- terial av svenska bin (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) III.] – Entomologisk Tidskrift 130 (1): 43-59. Uppsala, Sweden 2009. ISSN 0013-886x. This report presents the third part of the results of a taxonomic revision and examina- tion of the actual, reputed or potential type material of bees of Swedish origin. Focus is on the status, depository, type locality, condition and history of name-bearing specimens. Here, 21 taxa have been examined. Lectotypes are designated for the specific taxaAndrena cinerascens Nylander, 1848, A. nanula Nylander, 1848, Coelioxys hebescens Nylander, 1848 (now forma of C. rufescens Lepeletier & Serville, 1825), C. simplex Nylander, 1852, Osmia corticalis Gerstaecker, 1869, O. mitis Nylander, 1852 (now Hoplitis m.) and the in- fraspecific taxon Andrena marginata var. nigrescens Aurivillius, 1903 (now subspecies of A. marginata) (bold= valid epithet). An already labelled but unpublished lectotype of Co- elioxys mandibularis Nylander, 1848 is validated. Osmia laticeps Thomson, 1872 (spec. rev.) is found to be a senior synonym of Osmia hyperborea Tkalců, 1983 and a valid name. Re-evaluations are made of the reputedly enigmatic specific taxa Apis rybyensis Linné, 1771, A. cariosa Linné, 1758 and A. obscura Linné, 1764. According to a cabinet species label by Linné’s disciple Thunberg, A. rybyensis is identical to Apis albipes Fabricius, 1781 (now Lasioglossum a.). Apis rybyensis is here classified as a nomen oblitum. Apis cariosa and A. obscura are probably not bees.
