COMMISSIONED REPORT Summary Bryological assessment for hydroelectric schemes in the West Highlands – 2nd edition Commissioned Report No.: Report No. 449b Project No.: 10494 Contractor: A.B.G. Averis Year of publication: 2012 Background Proposals for run-of-river hydroelectric schemes are being submitted each year, but developers and planning consultees are often unclear about when to commission a bryophyte survey as part of the information submitted in a planning application. This project was commissioned by SNH to provide a means of assessing the bryological importance and/or potential of watercourses. This will help to clarify whether a survey is needed for any particular hydroelectric proposal. -

Ten years have passed since the last substantial review, therefore it was thought timely to update the Guidelines so that they continue to reflect the most recent research and experience. Forestry is a devolved area leading to the development of national agendas. In parallel with developments in the forestry sector, regulation of many operations associated with forest planning and management has also reflected national concerns. -

The Disjunct Bryophyte Element of the Gulf of St. Lawrence Region: Glacial and Postglacial Dispersal and Migrational Histories By @Rene J. Belland B.Sc., M.Sc. A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Biology Memorial University of Newfoundland December, 1Q84 St. John's Newfoundland Abstract The Gulf St. Lawrence region has a bryophyte flora of 698 species. Of these 267 (38%) are disjunct to this region from western North America, eastern Asia, or Europe. The Gulf of St. Lawrence and eastern North American distributions of the disjuncts were analysed and their possible migrational and dispersal histories during and after the Last Glaciation (Wisconsin) examined. Based on eastern North American distribution patterns, the disjuncts fell into 22 sub elements supporting five migrational/ dispersal histories or combinations of these : (1) migration from the south, (2) migration from the north, (3) migration from the west, (4) survival in refugia, and (5) introduction by man. The largest groups of disjuncts had eastern North American distributions supporting either survival of bryophytes in Wisconsin ice-free areas of the Gulf of St. Lawrence or postglacial migration to the Gulf from the south. About 26% of the disjuncts have complex histories and their distributions support two histories. These may have migrated to the Gulf from the west and/or north, or from the west and/or survived glaciation in Gulf ice-free areas. -

BAP Surveillance in Scotland

Nick Hodgetts, Gordon Rothero & Dave Genney discuss their efforts and methodologies as part of a surveillance programme by Scottish Natural Heritage ne of the mechanisms for species rAcrobolbus wilsonii. Nick Hodgetts conservation in the UK is the Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP). reasons. OThe current list of BAP species was drawn up Our approach has been to collate existing in 2009 and naturally includes many species records, to target fieldwork where it is likely to that occur in Scotland. Some of these are yield most results, and to produce a ‘surveillance relatively well-known – Herbertus borealis, dossier’ giving all the available information for example, now reinstated as a good species on each species. The dossiers are dynamic (Bell et al., 2012; Bell & Long, 2012), is fairly documents, published on the SNH website, and well-known at its one site in the Beinn Eighe updated as and when new data become available. National Nature Reserve, where monitoring has They provide: 1) general information about the been in place for some years. However, there species, including a description; sections on is a substantial subset of Scottish BAP species ecology, distribution in Scotland (including a about which we knew very little when they first full list of sites), the UK and the world; threats; appeared on the list. Therefore, Scottish Natural management and ex situ conservation; 2) a full Heritage (SNH) decided to put a programme literature list and details of the surveillance of surveillance in place to tackle this problem. -
