Natural History of Lepidoptera Associated with Bird Nests in Mid-Wales
Entomologist’s Rec. J. Var. 130 (2018) 249 NATURAL HISTORY OF LEPIDOPTERA ASSOCIATED WITH BIRD NESTS IN MID-WALES D. H. B OYES Bridge Cottage, Middletown, Welshpool, Powys, SY21 8DG. (E-mail: [email protected]) Abstract Bird nests can support diverse communities of invertebrates, including moths (Lepidoptera). However, the understanding of the natural history of these species is incomplete. For this study, 224 nests, from 16 bird species, were collected and the adult moths that emerged were recorded. The majority of nests contained moths, with 4,657 individuals of ten species recorded. Observations are made on the natural history of each species and some novel findings are reported. The absence of certain species is discussed. To gain deeper insights into the life histories of these species, it would be useful to document the feeding habits of the larvae in isolation. Keywords : Commensal, detritivore, fleas, moths, Tineidae. Introduction Bird nests represent concentrated pockets of organic resources (including dead plant matter, feathers, faeces and other detritus) and can support a diverse invertebrate fauna. A global checklist compiled by Hicks (1959; 1962; 1971) lists eighteen insect orders associated with bird nests, and a study in England identified over 120 insect species, spanning eight orders (Woodroffe, 1953). Moths are particularly frequent occupants of bird nests, but large gaps in knowledge and some misapprehensions remain. For example, Tineola bisselliella (Hummel, 1823) was widely thought to infest human habitations via bird nests, which acted as natural population reservoirs. However, it has recently been discovered that this non-native species seldom occurs in rural bird nests and can be regarded as wholly synanthropic in Europe, where it was introduced from Africa around the turn of the 19th century (Plarre & Krüger- Carstensen, 2011; Plarre, 2014). -

The following abbreviations are used in the text: BM(NH) – The Natural History Museum, London; NMINH – National Museum of Ireland, Natural History, Dublin. The total number of confirmed Irish species now stands at 1480, an addition of 68 since Bond et al. (2006). Taxonomic arrangement As a result of recent systematic research, it has been necessary to replace the arrangement familiar to British and Irish Lepidopterists by the Fauna Europaea [FE] system used by Karsholt 60 Bulletin of the Irish Biogeographical Society No. 36 (2012) and Razowski, which is widely used in continental Europe. -

South-Central England Regional Action Plan
Butterfly Conservation South-Central England Regional Action Plan This action plan was produced in response to the Action for Butterflies project funded by WWF, EN, SNH and CCW by Dr Andy Barker, Mike Fuller & Bill Shreeves August 2000 Registered Office of Butterfly Conservation: Manor Yard, East Lulworth, Wareham, Dorset, BH20 5QP. Registered in England No. 2206468 Registered Charity No. 254937. Executive Summary This document sets out the 'Action Plan' for butterflies, moths and their habitats in South- Central England (Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight & Wiltshire), for the period 2000- 2010. It has been produced by the three Branches of Butterfly Conservation within the region, in consultation with various other governmental and non-governmental organisations. Some of the aims and objectives will undoubtedly be achieved during this period, but some of the more fundamental challenges may well take much longer, and will probably continue for several decades. The main conservation priorities identified for the region are as follows: a) Species Protection ! To arrest the decline of all butterfly and moth species in South-Central region, with special emphasis on the 15 high priority and 6 medium priority butterfly species and the 37 high priority and 96 medium priority macro-moths. ! To seek opportunities to extend breeding areas, and connectivity of breeding areas, of high and medium priority butterflies and moths. b) Surveys, Monitoring & Research ! To undertake ecological research on those species for which existing knowledge is inadequate. Aim to publish findings of research. ! To continue the high level of butterfly transect monitoring, and to develop a programme of survey work and monitoring for the high and medium priority moths. -
New Data on the Distribution and Biology of Tineid Moths (Lepidoptera: Tineidae) Associated with Forest Habitats

Odrzańska 17/5, 50-113 Wrocław, e-mail: [email protected] 2 Zakład Ochrony Lasu, Instytut Badawczy Leśnictwa, Sękocin Stary, ul. Braci Leśnej 3, 05-090 Raszyn, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The paper presents data on the distribution of 24 species of tineid moths in Poland. The data were obtained based on a few methods of collecting of moths, mainly with use of artificial light and rearing of adults from decaying wood and bracket fungi inhabited by larvae. Nearly a dozen of species were recorded from particular regions of Poland for the first time. The study also revealed the new aspects of biology and ecology of a few species. KEY WORDS: faunistics, biological diversity, Microlepidoptera, clothes moths, fungus moths, bracket fungi, dead wood. Introduction Tineidae (Lepidoptera: Tineidae) constitutes a moth family abundantly represented in the world, distinguishable from among other taxa with original biology and habitat preferences (ROBINSON 2009). Its caterpillars – depending on a given subfamily – are mycetophages, lichenophages, keratophages, or saproxylophages, yet they more rarely feed on living plant parts. The majority of species inhabit old deciduous forests, where a high species diversity of arboreal fungi and rich ornitofauna are maintained. Forest areas that are economically intensively exploited are usually characterised with a low diversity of Tineidae, as the removal of dying and 92 X. DOBRZAŃSKI, T. JAWORSKI hollowy trees leads to the elimination of potential habitats for the development of these insects. -
