A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Biological Sciences University of Alaska Fairbanks August 2017 APPROVED: Pat Doak, Committee Chair Greg Breed, Committee Member Colleen Handel, Committee Member Christa Mulder, Committee Member Kris Hundertmark, Chair Department o f Biology and Wildlife Paul Layer, Dean College o f Natural Science and Mathematics Michael Castellini, Dean of the Graduate School ABSTRACT Across the Arctic, taller woody shrubs, particularly willow (Salix spp.), birch (Betula spp.), and alder (Alnus spp.), have been expanding rapidly onto tundra. Changes in vegetation structure can alter the physical habitat structure, thermal environment, and food available to arthropods, which play an important role in the structure and functioning of Arctic ecosystems. Not only do they provide key ecosystem services such as pollination and nutrient cycling, they are an essential food source for migratory birds. In this study I examined the relationships between the abundance, diversity, and community composition of arthropods and the height and cover of several shrub species across a tundra-shrub gradient in northwestern Alaska. To characterize nestling diet of common passerines that occupy this gradient, I used next-generation sequencing of fecal matter. Willow cover was strongly and consistently associated with abundance and biomass of arthropods and significant shifts in arthropod community composition and diversity. -

Čiurlionio g. 21/27, LT-03101 Vilnius. E- mail: [email protected] Material and Methods The material was collected in different administrative districts of Lithuania. Butterflies were collected with a standard entomological net. Moths were attracted using 160–400 W mixed light lamp bulbs. The identification of Lepidoptera species was checked with conformable guides (Kazlauskas, 1984; Ivinskis, 1993; Nowacki, 1998; Elsner et al ., 1999; Razowski, 2001; Ivinskis, Augustauskas, 2004). Some species listed bellow were mentioned as new to Lithuania (Kazlauskas, 2003) but exact finding data are presented in this report. New species are marked with an asterisk (*). The nomenclature follows O. Karlsholt & J. Razowski (1996). The material is deposited in the Zoological Museum of Vilnius University.

With the founding of the Society in 1976 the decision was made to publish in the Journal of the Society, Current Literature references on Palaearctic Lepidoptera. Initially it was hoped that one Lepidopterist from each country would be Willing to record the literature published in the Journals of his own country. It has not been easy, nor indeed possible to find volunteers for a complete coverage for 1977. However, recording did not commence until late 1977, and the response from those who have helped has been excellent. The list of recorders is growing, and hopefully we shall soon have a complete coverage. It must be emphasised that the final list of papers published de- pends entirely on recorders Willing to give a little of their time to searching Journals. A list of recorders is given here, and help is solicited for any coun- try absent from the list. Unfortunately some recorders listed below have not sent in their 1977 report. If your paper has not been listed, may I ask you to send the füll reference to the recorder of the country where you have published the paper. Recorders: Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Dr. H.-E.

Moths of Poole Harbour Species List
Moths of Poole Harbour is a project of Birds of Poole Harbour Moths of Poole Harbour Species List Birds of Poole Harbour & Moths of Poole Harbour recording area The Moths of Poole Harbour Project The ‘Moths of Poole Harbour’ project (MoPH) was established in 2017 to gain knowledge of moth species occurring in Poole Harbour, Dorset, their distribution, abundance and to some extent, their habitat requirements. The study area uses the same boundaries as the Birds of Poole Harbour (BoPH) project. Abigail Gibbs and Chris Thain, previous Wardens on Brownsea Island for Dorset Wildlife Trust (DWT), were invited by BoPH to undertake a study of moths in the Poole Harbour recording area. This is an area of some 175 square kilometres stretching from Corfe Castle in the south to Canford Heath in the north of the conurbation and west as far as Wareham. 4 moth traps were purchased for the project; 3 Mercury Vapour (MV) Robinson traps with 50m extension cables and one Actinic, Ultra-violet (UV) portable Heath trap running from a rechargeable battery. This was the capability that was deployed on most of the ensuing 327 nights of trapping. Locations were selected using a number of criteria: Habitat, accessibility, existing knowledge (previously well-recorded sites were generally not included), potential for repeat visits, site security and potential for public engagement. Field work commenced from late July 2017 and continued until October. Generally, in the years 2018 – 2020 trapping field work began in March/ April and ran on until late October or early November, stopping at the first frost. -

A total of 232 species were recorded from early May to mid-August 2011, among them four new records for the country: Blastobasis desertarum, Agriphila tolli, Epimecia ustula und Mythimna riparia. These records seem to be largely based on global warming and/or introduction. Further interesting records include endangered species such as Catocala electa. The species composition is briefly discussed, based on ecological gilds and habitats. Varying management seems to have limited influence on diversity. Keywords: Lepidoptera, faunistics, species diversity, Etsch, South Tyrol, Italy 1 Einleitung ‒ Zielsetzung Die Etsch als eine der großen Flusslandschaften Südtirols wurde insbesondere im 20. Jh. durch Begradigungen und Einengungen, durch Entwässerungen ehemaliger Feuchtgebiete, sowie durch intensive Nutzung des gesamten Umlandes drastisch verändert. Während früher ausgedehnte Auengewässer mit einer artenreichen Fauna und Flora landschaftsprägend waren, hat sich diese ehemalige Vielfalt dramatisch reduziert. Auen werden daher zu Recht als die am stärksten gefährdeten Lebensräume der Tallagen eingestuft (KAHLEN et al. -
