Borbo Skipper Borbo Borbonica (Boisduval, 1833) 18. D ESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE: HESPERIIDAE FAMILY Borbo Skipper Borbo borbonica (Boisduval, 1833) DESCRIPTION Wingspan: From 2.5 to 3.5 cm. Closed wings: Hindwings are yellowish with small black spots, some of which are white in the centre. Forewings are the same at the apex, while the other part is brown with white spots that increase in size towards the inside of the wings. Open wings: This species does not show them very often, but when it does, we can perceive their dark brown colour and white spots on forewings. Yellow ground colour Small black spots, some of which are white in the centre Dark brown White spots that increase in size towards the inside 72 DIURNAL BUTTERFLIES • GR-249 Great Malaga Path Mediterranean Skipper (Gegenes nostrodamus): This species can hardly ever be seen with open wings. When its wings are closed, they are grey or creamy white. Female butterfl ies have some white spots on the forewings, which are sometimes diffi cult to notice. This migratory species has recently been noticed in Málaga in autumn, but there is no certainty that it is located there. Its closest colonies are in Cádiz, where there create three generations a year , and live on marshy ground, and spots which are frequently covered in puddles because this is where its foodplant, a gramineous plant Polypogon viridis, can be found. In Málaga it has been spotted in urban areas, such as T eatinos, close to the University of Málaga, the mouth of Guadalhorce, and the Fuengirola and the Gudaiza rivers. The species is considered to be endangered by the Red List of Threatened Andalusian Invertebrates, but it is protected by the law. Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec These butterfl ies have not been seen along the GMP, but due to their migratory behaviour and some data obtained in Málaga, they might appear at various points along the coastal stages, above all on stage 30, close to the River Guadaiza as it is said to be seen at its upper part. There is also a probability to observe the species close to the Pasadas River in Mijas, on stage 32, considering that it has been seen several times at its lower reaches. It could also be settled, or it might settle in the future, in the plain of the Guadalhorce, close to the 35th stage. The possibility of seeing it in the city of Málaga or to the east cannot be rejected either.

This study undertook observations on the number of pollinators visiting the flowers/ 2m for 5 min at randomly selected 10 spots in agroecosystems in West Bengal. The diversity index was measured by Simpson’s Index of Diversity. A total number of 55 individuals of insect pollinators belonging to 19 families and 4 orders were observed of which Hymenoptera were maximum (47.25%) followed by: Coleoptera (24.68%), Lepidoptera (11.26%) and Diptera (8.29%). Simpson’s index ranged from 0 to 1. Maximum species richness was found in Lower Bongbasti, Kalimpong (0.995) and the lowest at AB-Block farm BCKV Kalyani (0.751). Among the surveyed areas, species evenness was found highest in Khelia North 24 Parganas (1.34) and lowest in Jhanti pahari Bankura (0.14). So far pollinator species richness is concerned, it was maximum in hilly terrains of Kalimpong followed by North 24 parganas, Bankura and Nadia.

  • Selecting Flagships for Invertebrate Conservation
    Biodivers Conserv (2012) 21:1457–1476 DOI 10.1007/s10531-012-0257-7 ORIGINAL PAPER Selecting flagships for invertebrate conservation Maan Barua • Daniel J. Gurdak • Riyaz Akhtar Ahmed • Jatin Tamuly Received: 19 July 2011 / Accepted: 14 February 2012 / Published online: 4 March 2012 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012 Abstract Invertebrates have a low public profile and are seriously underrepresented in global conservation efforts. The promotion of flagship species is one way to generate interest in invertebrate conservation. Butterflies are frequently labeled invertebrate flag- ships, but clear definitions of the conservation actions they are meant to catalyze, and empirical assessments of their popularity amongst non-Western audiences are lacking. To improve the use of invertebrate flagships, we examine how butterflies compare with other taxa in terms of popularity. We then identify characteristics of individual species that are appealing and explore whether these may be used to derive a set of guidelines for selecting invertebrate flagships. We conducted questionnaire-based surveys amongst two target audiences: rural residents (n = 255) and tourists (n = 105) in northeast India. Inverte- brates that were aesthetically appealing, or those that provided material benefits or eco- logical services were liked. Butterflies were the most popular group for both audiences, followed by dragonflies, honeybees and earthworms. A combination of large size and bright colours led to high popularity of individual species, whilst butterflies with unique Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s10531-012-0257-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

    I MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 193: 15-84, 2000 Published February 28 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Copepod grazing in a subtropical bay: species-specific responses to a midsummer increase in nanoplankton standing stock Albert Calbet*, Michael R. Landry, Rebecca D. Scheinberg Department of Oceanography, University of Hawaii at Manoa, 1000 Pope Road, Honolulu, Hawaii 96822, USA ABSTRACT: Ingestion rates of 4 small copepod species (Oithona simplex, 0. nana. Acrocalanus inermis and Parvocalanus crassirostris) were investigated in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, during a nudsummer increase of the pico- and nanoplankton communities. There was no evidence that adult female cope- pods fed significantly on picoplankton-sized cells. However, all the species responded behaviorally to variations in the concentration (10 to 110 pg C 1-l) and size spectrum (relative increase of cells >5 pm) of nanoplankton prey. The copepods generally behaved as opportunistic particle feeders, demonstrat- ing higher consumption rates on the most abundant cells (2-5 pm nanoplankton);however, autotrophs were usually selected over heterotrophs of simdar size. Max~murningestion rates were similar for the 2 calanoids and 0. nana (around 120000 cells copepod-' d-') and lower for 0. simplex (around 40000 cells copepod-' d-l), but biomass-specific rates of 0. simplex equaled those of the other species. At the highest nanoplankton concentrations, the ingestion rates of copepods appeared saturated, daily rations ranging from 100% body C d-' for A, rnermis to 260% body C d-l for P crassirostris. The differ- ences between ingestion rates measured as cells per copepod per day and those converted to carbon suggested that ingestion might be held below potential by the cumulahve handLing times of individual prey rather than the physioloqcal constraints of food consumption and digestive processing.

The Act expands the mandate of the former National Botanical Institute to include responsibili- ties relating to the full diversity of South Africa’s fauna and flora, and builds on the internationally respected programmes in conservation, research, education and visitor services developed by the National Botanical Institute and its predecessors over the past century. The vision of SANBI: Biodiversity richness for all South Africans. SANBI’s mission is to champion the exploration, conservation, sustainable use, appre- ciation and enjoyment of South Africa’s exceptionally rich biodiversity for all people. SANBI Biodiversity Series publishes occasional reports on projects, technologies, work- shops, symposia and other activities initiated by or executed in partnership with SANBI.

Introduction & Background After a brief visit to Coutada 12, in 2016, I became aware of the importance of this area to conservation and the preservation of biodiversity. I also noticed the area had a relatively low number of people. However if population levels increase and pressures for land to be used as agriculture (or in an unsustainable way) increase the area could be threatened by land use changes which do not preserve its diversity. In 2017, after many years, I re-engaged with Ivan Carter while he was visiting the Southern African Wildlife College. We talked about methods to try and improve the significance and ultimately the sustainability of the natural resources of the Marromeu complex which includes Coutada 11. In order to do this one needs to know what is there and its importance, a first step in this process is to do meaningful surveys. Although Ivan and myself liaised concerning surveys of a number of groups this did not come to fruition. However it was decided I would do a short collecting trip for butterflies to do a preliminary list of the butterflies of Coutada 11. At the same time and realizing plants (soil and water) are a bases for most living animals I asked Prof.
