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. -

Ebmer2, Fritz Gusenleitner3 and Maximilian Schwarz4 With 65 Figures Accepted: 28. October 2016 Summary: During studies in floral ecology 151 bee (Apidae) species from 25 genera were recorded in the Botanic Garden of the Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz since 1981. The garden covers an area of c. 3.6 ha (buildings included). The voucher specimens are listed by date, gender and plant species visited. For a part of the bee species additional notes are presented. The most elaborated notes concern Hylaeus styriacus, three species of Andrena subg. Taeniandrena (opening of floral buds for pollen harvest,slicing calyx or corolla for reaching nectar), Andrena rufula, Andrena susterai, Megachile nigriventris on Glau cium, behaviour of Megachile willughbiella, Eucera nigrescens (collecting on Symphytum officinale), Xylocopa violacea (vibratory pollen collection, Xylocopa-blossoms, nectar robbing), Bombus haematurus, Nomada trapeziformis, behaviour of Lasioglossum females, honeydew and bumblebees as well as the flowers ofViscum , Forsythia and Lysimachia. Andrena gelriae and Lasioglossum setulosum are first records for Styria. This inventory is put in a broader context by the addition of publications with enumerations of bees for 23 other botanic gardens of Central Europe, of which few are briefly discussed. -

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 Wild Food (Plants and Insects) in Western Friuli Local Knowledge (Friuli- Venezia Giulia, North Eastern Italy)
The wild food (plants and insects) in Western Friuli local knowledge (Friuli- Venezia Giulia, North Eastern Italy) a ngelo l. Dreon & Maurizio G. Paoletti ABSTRACt Contrib. Nat. Hist. 12: 461–488. Folk traditional diets in Western Friuli include wild plants and few invertebrates (i.e. insects) that are peculiar in the southern alps. 156 plants are listed here, ranging from 200 m to 2200 m a.s.l.. this selection is the result of the research of 64 inform- ants who contributed with their personal experiences. recovery of scattered know- ledge is valuable for maintaining and sustaining its use and enhancing a wild bio- diversity base for agroecology, conservation and ecotourism. Pistiç, frita and lidùm are some of the names used for about 50–60 herbs collected in field margins, hay meadows, woodlands and the wild, most commonly in spring. in order to be con- sumed, most herbs are boiled together and are later sautéed with butter or lard and garlic. the higher range pre-alpine Carnic slopes have supported seasonal sheep and cow grazing and summer pastoral communities have traditionally used plants as well for salads, soups and spices in addition to the boiled-sautéed dish. Furthermore, herbs have been used as medicinal elixirs and for milk processing. For instance, Lycopodium annotinum l. was employed to filter milk; Asplenium ruta-muraria l. was cooked with maize flour to prepare "fregole" a dish eaten with milk or coffee made from barley. specifically, collections of these useful alpine plants include: Cheno- podium bonus-henricus l., Aruncus dioicus (Walter) Fernald, Cicerbita alpina (l.) Wallr., Rumex alpinus l., Carlina acaulis l., Myrrhis odorata (l.) Scop., Ranunculus hybridus Biria (dry leaves used as pepper), and raw bulbils of Polygonum viviparum l. -
