ITE contributes to, and draws upon, the collective knowledge of the 13 sister institutes which make up the Natural Environment Research Council, spanning all the environmental sciences. The Institute studies the factors determining the structure, composition and processes of land and freshwater systems, and of individual plant and animal species. It is developing a sounder scientific basis for predicting and modelling environmental trends arising from natural or man- made change. The results of this research are available to those responsible for the protection, management and wise use of our natural resources. One quarter of ITE's work is research commissioned by customers, such as the Department of Environment, the European Economic Community, the Nature Conservancy Council and the Overseas Development Administration. The remainder is fundamental research supported by NERC. ITE's expertise is widely used by international organizations in overseas projects and programmes of research. -
Armadillidium Pictum Brandt, 1833, Discovered in Staffordshire, and Comments on Its Habitat Associations
Bulletin of the British Myriapod & Isopod Group Volume 24 (2010) ARMADILLIDIUM PICTUM BRANDT, 1833, DISCOVERED IN STAFFORDSHIRE, AND COMMENTS ON ITS HABITAT ASSOCIATIONS Keith N. A. Alexander 59 Sweetbrier Lane, Heavitree, Exeter EX1 3AQ. e-mail: [email protected] Gregory (2009) suggests that Armadillidium pictum may have been overlooked in areas within its British range. It is now possible to add Staffordshire to the counties where it has been found, extending its known distribution at the southern end of the Pennines. It was found on two occasions in one small area in Dimmings Dale in Staffordshire Moorlands District. This dale is a wooded ravine, a tributary stream of the River Churnet cutting through the Bunter Sandstone and exposing several outcrops of the harder Keuper rocks (according to the SSSI citation). The precise location of the records lies on the south side of the ravine, but on the east-facing slope of a small re-entrant valley (SK054428), within Threap Wood. While the slopes are generally heavily wooded with oak Quercus, this particular patch is very open, more of a large and apparently permanent glade with bracken Pteridium aquilinum and bramble Rubus fruticosus agg. the dominant vegetation, with much climbing corydalis Ceratocapnos claviculata. While beating this vegetation over a sweep net in search of corydalis weevils, a single A. pictum was found in the net on 2 June 2009 and again on 6 August 2009, in virtually the same place. The first specimen was retained as a voucher and identified with the help of Gregory & Richards (2008) . Gregory’s (2009) habitat description – the presence of suitable rocky terrain, such as talus slopes with accumulations of scree, rocks or boulders – is close but in this case the talus slopes are derived from Sandstone and are of a fine sandy material. -

These grikes provide a distinct microclimate conferring a more stable temperature, higher relative humidity, lower light intensity and lower air speed than can be found in the regional climate. This stability of microclimate has resulted in an equally distinctive community of flora and fauna, adapted to a forest floor but found in an often otherwise barren landscape. This thesis documents the long-term study of the properties of the limestone pavement grike in order to identify the extent to which the microclimate may sustain its distinctive biodiversity, to provide recommendations for future research which may lead to more effective management. Over a five-year study, recordings of temperature, relative humidity, light intensity and samples of invertebrate biodiversity were collected from five limestone pavements situated in the Yorkshire Dales and Cumbria in Great Britain, and The Burren in the Republic of Ireland. -
Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation Wales Guidance (Pdf)
Wildlife Sites Guidance Wales A Guide to Develop Local Wildlife Systems in Wales Wildlife Sites Guidance Wales A Guide to Develop Local Wildlife Systems in Wales Foreword The Welsh Assembly Government’s Environment Strategy for Wales, published in May 2006, pays tribute to the intrinsic value of biodiversity – ‘the variety of life on earth’. The Strategy acknowledges the role biodiversity plays, not only in many natural processes, but also in the direct and indirect economic, social, aesthetic, cultural and spiritual benefits that we derive from it. The Strategy also acknowledges that pressures brought about by our own actions and by other factors, such as climate change, have resulted in damage to the biodiversity of Wales and calls for a halt to this loss and for the implementation of measures to bring about a recovery. Local Wildlife Sites provide essential support between and around our internationally and nationally designated nature sites and thus aid our efforts to build a more resilient network for nature in Wales. The Wildlife Sites Guidance derives from the shared knowledge and experience of people and organisations throughout Wales and beyond and provides a common point of reference for the most effective selection of Local Wildlife Sites. I am grateful to the Wales Biodiversity Partnership for developing the Wildlife Sites Guidance. The contribution and co-operation of organisations and individuals across Wales are vital to achieving our biodiversity targets. I hope that you will find the Wildlife Sites Guidance a useful tool in the battle against biodiversity loss and that you will ensure that it is used to its full potential in order to derive maximum benefit for the vitally important and valuable nature in Wales. -
9 Comparison of Three Often Mis-Identified Species of Pill
Bulletin of the British Myriapod & Isopod Group Volume 23 (2008) COMPARISON OF THREE OFTEN MIS-IDENTIFIED SPECIES OF PILL-WOODLOUSE ARMADILLIDIUM (ISOPODA: ONISCIDEA) Steve Gregory1 and Paul Richards2 1 Northmoor Trust, Hill Farm, Little Wittenham, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, OX14 4QZ, UK. E-mail: [email protected] 2 Museums Sheffield, Weston Park, Sheffield, S10 2TP, UK. E-mail: [email protected] The genus Armadillidium Brandt, the pill-woodlice, comprises six species in Britain. The eurytopic Armadillidium vulgare (Latreille, 1804) is the only widespread member of the genus and may be locally abundant in south-eastern England. The remaining species have more localised distributions and are more restricted in their habitat preferences (Gregory, in prep). There has been some confusion in recent years regarding the correct identification of the two very attractively marked pill-woodlice A. pictum Brandt, 1833 and A. pulchellum (Zencker, 1798). As both are of some significance it is important to have reliable determination. When faced with juvenile A. pictum in particular, it can be easily dismissed as an adult A. pulchellum. A. vulgare is also found occasionally in brightly coloured forms, with ornate mottling, which have been mistaken for its two scarcer relatives. This latter species may occur with either of the former two and is also considered in this paper. The rare A. pictum is listed in the British Red Data Book (Bratton, 1991). The thin scatter of records extends from the English Lake District south to the Welsh/English border counties of Monmouthshire and Gloucestershire. It typically occurs in hilly areas with rocky terrain where accumulations of scree, rocks or boulders are present. -

Inspection on Materials Contributing to the Knowledge of Terrestrial Isopoda (Crustacea, Oniscidea) in Finland
Memoranda Soc. Fauna Flora Fennica 85:9–15. 2009 Inspection on materials contributing to the knowledge of terrestrial Isopoda (Crustacea, Oniscidea) in Finland Ferenc Vilisics & Juhani Terhivuo Vilisics, F., Szent István University, Faculty of Veterinary Science, Institute for Biology, Budapest, Hungary. E-mail: [email protected] Terhivuo, J., Finnish Museum of Natural History, Zoological Museum, Invertebrates Di- vision, Helsinki, Finland Identifications of 226 terrestrial isopod samples mostly coming from the unidentified do- mestic material stored in the Finnish Museum of Natural History, and from our field sur- veys referred to the following species; Hyloniscus riparius, Trichoniscus pusillus, Oniscus asellus, Porcellio dilatatus, P. spinicornis, P. scaber, Cylisticus convexus, Tra- chelipus rathkii, Armadillidium opacum, A. pictum, A. pulchellum, A. nasatum, A. vul- gare and A. zenckeri. Field populations of A. vulgare and H. riparius were recorded for the first time in Finland, while T. rathkii specimens from Lapua prove that isopods’ distrubution reaches the Finnish inland. We also revisited the material donated to museum collections by the late Professor E. Palmén and we found old samples of P. dilatatus col- lected in greenhouses in Helsinki, Salo and Halikko and identified but not published by him. We also discuss the ranges of terrestrial Isopoda in Finland where they live at the northern margins of their distributions. 1. Introduction tentionally introduced and indoor species primar- ily living in greenhouse, are recorded in Finland. Basic information on Finnish woodlice dates back Many field samplings of soil invertebrates to the 1940’s and 1950’s, when Ernst Palmén stud- have been carried out in Finland since the days of ied the fauna of terrestrial Isopoda in Finland. -

OF A NEW SPECIES OF OMNORIA / "">,. ; -V *' t. by ' / •L. B. HOLTHUIS (With four textfigures) The Isopad and Tanaidacean Crustacea of the Netherlands have not been treated as a whole since 1889, when Hoek published the second part of his Crustacea Neerlandica dealing with the Isopoda and Amphipoda. Hoek in this paper mentioned 25 species of Isopoda, 9 of which are marine forms, 1 a freshwater form and 15 terrestrial, no Dutch Tanaidacea were known to Hoek. At present we know 49 species of Dutch Isopoda, of which 20 are marine, 2 are freshwater forms and 27 are terrestrial, furthermore three species of Tanaidacea are known from this country. The present paper is an enumeration of all Dutch species of the two above mentioned groups, with their distribution within our country and, "if necessary, with remarks on their synonymy and ecology. A volume on the Isopoda and Tanaidacea for the series "'Fauna van Nederland", written in the Dutch language is now ready for the press and will be published in the course of time; in this volume a complete bibliography of the Dutch Isopoda is given, so that in the present paper only the most necessary references are made. The Isopoda found in Dutch greenhouses and those belonging to the family Armadillidiidae are treated here only summarily, as they have been dealt "with more extensively in previous papers (Holthuis, 1946a, b).
