  • First Record of a Minute Mud-Loving Beetle of the Family Georissidae (Insecta: Coleoptera: Hydrophiloidea) in Thailand
    NAT. HIST. BULL. SIAM SOC. 61(2): 131–133, 2016 First Record of a Minute Mud-loving Beetle of the Family Georissidae (Insecta: Coleoptera: Hydrophiloidea) in Thailand William D. Shepard1 and Robert W. Sites2* The family Georissidae (minute mud-loving beetles) is represented by a single genus, Georissus, which occurs on all continents except Antarctica. However, country records of species of Georissus are scattered. The genus comprises three subgenera (Georissus [Georissus], Georissus [Neogeorissus], and Georissus [Nipponogeorissus]), 80 species, and 2 subspecies (+$16(1/,729.,1 ),.Éÿ(. 2011). Various authors have considered the family as a subfamily within Hydrophilidae; however, current opinion retains family status (6+257 ),.Éÿ(. 2013). Larval, pupal, and adult Georissus are found on damp, sandy shores of lakes and rivers (SHEPARD, 6RPHDGXOWVFDPRXÁDJHWKHPVHOYHVZLWKDFRYHULQJ of sand grains glued to their dorsum (BAMEUL, 1989). Most descriptions of adults are of the external morphology and only a few included a description or illustration of the aedeagus. Larvae have been described by VAN EMDEN (1956), BERTRAND (1972), SPANGLER (1991) and $5&+$1*(/6.< (1997); pupae have been described by BERTRAND (1972) and SHEPARD (2003). The chromosomal karyotype of Georissus crenulatus (Rossi) has been described and illustrated by SHAARAWI & ANGUS (1992), and the life cycle of Georissus californicus LeConte) has been described by SHEPARD (2003). This family is little known because of their small size (many less than 2 mm) and the adults of some taxa conceal themselves with sand and remain still upon disturbance. Although most species are described from a limited number of adults, if a collector takes the time to closely examine sandy shores, the adults can be found.

  • Lowland Heathland Habitat Action Plan
    Buckinghamshire & Milton Keynes Biodiversity Action Plan Lowland Heathland Habitat Action Plan Lowland Heathland Key associated species Adder Noctule Bilberry Round-leaved Sundew Bog Bush Cricket Serotine Bat Common Lizard Skylark Dartford Warbler Small Copper Green Ribbed Sedge Small Red Damselfly Heath Spotted Orchid Stonechat Hobby Tree Pipit Ling White Sedge Meadow Pipit Woodlark Nightjar Lowland heathland is characterised both by the presence of dwarf ericaceous species such as heather, gorse and cross-leaved heath and by the typical gently undulating landscape forms associated with it. It is generally found below 300 metres in altitude, on nutrient-poor mineral soils. Areas of high quality lowland heathland are not solely composed of vast tracts of heather. They have an ericaceous layer of varied height and structure, with areas of scattered trees and scrub, bare ground, gorse, wet heath, bogs and open water. Lowland heathland is generally considered to be anthropogenic in origin, a product of traditional pastoral activities and the exercising of commoners’ rights such as bracken collecting, turf cutting, grazing, and firewood collection. For the purposes of this document ‘heathland’ will refer to dry heath, wet heath and valley mires where they occur. 1 Current status in UK Biological status 1.1 The lowland heathland that occurs in the British Isles is of a type found (with regional variations) only along the western fringes of continental Europe. The oceanic climate, characterised by mild winters and relatively high rainfall throughout the year, favours the formation of heathland habitats if the required acidic and nutrient-poor substrates are present. The range of species found on these western European oceanic heathlands are unique and can often be very diverse.

Comparative Cytogenetics 14(1): 1–10. https://doi.org/10.3897/CompCytogen.v14i1.47656 Abstract The chromosomes of triploid parthenogenetic Helophorus orientalis Motschulsky, 1860 are described from material from two localities in Heilongjiang, China. 3n = 33. All the chromosomes have clear centromeric C-bands, and in the longest chromosome one replicate appears to be consistently longer than the other two. The chromosomes of additional triploid parthenogenetic H. brevipalpis Bedel, 1881, from Spain and Italy, are described. In one Italian population one of the autosomes is represented by only two replicates and another appears more evenly metacentric than in material from Spain and the other Italian locality.
