Atkins and the specialists would like to thank the landowners for their help and consideration during the course of the surveys. Revision C03 Page 4 of 224 A2 Bean and Ebbsfleet Junction Improvements Environmental Statement Volume 2 - Appendix G.2 Biodiversity Survey Reports Executive Summary Atkins were commissioned by Highways England to undertake bat, badger, bird, great crested newt, otter, water vole, aquatic and terrestrial invertebrate, river corridor, National Vegetation Classification (NVC) and invasive plant surveys as part of a programme of ecological surveys to inform the detailed design of the Scheme. This report presents the baseline results recorded during the 2018 ecological surveys1 relevant to the Scheme and provides an evaluation of each receptor surveyed, where appropriate. The information in this report has been used to identify and assess the potential implications of the Scheme and inform the requirement for mitigation and compensation. A framework of European and national legislation, and planning policy guidance exists to protect and conserve certain habitats and species. The Scheme area contains lowland mixed deciduous woodland and other habitats comprised of plantation woodland, semi-improved grassland, arable farmland, ponds and scrub. Habitats adjacent to the Scheme area include ancient semi-natural woodland listed on the Ancient Woodland Inventory, hedgerows and River Ebbsfleet. River Ebbsfleet is heavily modified upstream and very overgrown, heavily shaded with a wide channel and a mix of woodland and wetland habitats downstream. The invasive plant species Japanese knotweed was recorded within the Scheme area. The woodland/scrub edge habitats south-east of Bean Junction and in the south-west corner of Bean Triangle provide foraging and commuting habitat for low numbers of bats, mainly comprised of common and soprano pipistrelle bats. Individual noctule and Myotis sp. bats were also recorded. There are six trees that have moderate bat roosting potential, along with five that have low roosting potential. Two bat boxes are present on trees within Bean Triangle, one of which contained no evidence of roosting bats and the other was overgrown and considered unlikely to support roosting bats. Roosting bats were determined likely absent from the buildings within the bat survey area. Woodland to the south of the A2 provides good quality habitat for badgers in terms of foraging and sett creation. A number of active and disused setts were recorded at the woodland edge and along a hedgerow (further detail contained in separate confidential badger report). Woodland, scrub and ponds within the Scheme area provide suitable nesting habitat for notable birds. The River Ebbsfleet adjacent to the Scheme area also offers suitable habitat for breeding birds. Four notable birds: linnet, mistle thrush, song thrush and dunnock were confirmed to be breeding within the Scheme area. Other notable birds comprised of house sparrow and stock dove were thought to have probably bred and cuckoo, starling, kestrel and bullfinch were thought to have possibly bred within the Scheme area. Two ponds are present within the Scheme area and a total of 13 waterbodies are present within the great crested newt survey area. Great crested newts were determined likely absent from within the survey area. The River Ebbsfleet has limited potential to support otter and mainly unsuitable to support water vole. However, due to records of water vole further north from the survey area, there 1 Note the Badger Survey Report is provided as a separate confidential appendix. Revision C03 Page 5 of 224 A2 Bean and Ebbsfleet Junction Improvements Environmental Statement Volume 2 - Appendix G.2 Biodiversity Survey Reports is a low likelihood of water vole colonising the watercourse prior to construction. No field signs of either species were recorded during the otter and water vole survey. The aquatic invertebrate assemblage within River Ebbsfleet was comprised of an abundance of very common species and no notable species were recorded. Some pollution sensitive species were present; however, this is likely to be due to the shading caused by overgrown vegetation, leaf litter and regular low flows rather than by pollution. A number of nationally significant terrestrial invertebrate species were recorded from three sites within the Scheme area. These sites supported early successional habitat and grassland and scrub matrixes. While possessing a varied structure, these habitats are not unique, and as such, many, if not all, of the species recorded are likely to be found at other sites within the local area. The surveys fulfilled their objectives in recording the bat, badger, bird, great crested newt, otter, water vole, aquatic and terrestrial invertebrate assemblages; notable habitats2; notable plant species3; and the presence of invasive plants4, across the Scheme. A complete assessment of potential impacts regarding these receptors has been undertaken and is provided within the main report, along with details of mitigation and compensation measures as appropriate. 2 Notable habitats are taken as principal habitats for the conservation of biodiversity listed under Section 41 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006. 3 Notable species are taken as principal species for the conservation of biodiversity listed under Section 41 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006; any species listed in an IUCN Red Data Book; and any other species listed under the Kent BAP. 4 Invasive plants are taken as plant species that are listed on Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended).

Introduction 1.1 Scope of the Document 1.1.1 This report presents the baseline survey results recorded during the 2018 ecological surveys. The information in this report has been used together with the previous ecological survey results (provided in Appendix 3) to identify and assess the potential implications of the Scheme and inform mitigation and compensation for impacts to ecological receptors relevant to the Scheme. 1.1.2 Specialist surveyors were commissioned to undertake these surveys on behalf of Atkins. The full reports, which detail the methodologies used, the expereince of the specialists, the results of the surveys, and an evaluation of receptors relevant to the Scheme (where appropriate), can be found in the Annexes to this report.

  • ROBBER-FLIES and EMPIDS ROBBER-FLIES Asilidae. Very
    ROBBER-FLIES and EMPIDS Asilus ROBBER-FLIES Asilidae. Very bristly predatory flies that head from front generally chase and catch other insects in mid-air. Most species sit in wait and dart out when likely prey appears. The prey is then sucked dry with the stout proboscis, which projects horizontally or obliquely forward. There is a deep groove between the eyes in both sexes, the eyes never touching even in males. A 'beard' on the face protects eyes from struggling prey. Legs are sturdy and have 2 pads at most. Wings folded flat over body at rest. Larvae eat some dead vegetable matter, but most are at least partly predatory and some feed mainly on beetle and fly grubs in the soil. Asilus with prey As Asi/us crabroniformis. An unmistakable fly - one of the largest in B - inhabiting open country 7-10. A very strong flier. Breeds in cow pats and other dung. Dasypogon diadema. First 2 long veins both reach wing margin: wing membrane ribbed. Front tibia has curved spine at tip. Male more uniformly black, with dark wings. 6-8 in scrubby places, especially coastal dunes. S. ;., Leptogaster cylindrica. Feet without pads. Hind femur yellow. 3rd antennal segment ends in bristle. One of the slimmest robber-flies, it resembles a crane-fly in flight. It hunts in grassy places, flying slowly and plucking aphids from the grasses. 5-8. A L. guttiventris is similar but has reddish hind femur. 85 Dioctria atricapi/la. First 2 long veins reach margin. Beard rather sparse and, as in all Oioctria species, the antennae spring from a prominence high on the head.

Fittock December 2017 Declaration I certify that this is my own work and that use of material from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged in the text. I have read the University’s definition of plagiarism and the department’s advice on good academic practice. I understand that the consequence of committing plagiarism, if proven and in the absence of mitigating circumstances, may include failure in the Year or Part or removal from the membership of the University. I also certify that neither this piece of work, nor any part of it, has been submitted in connection with another assessment. Signature: Date: i Abstract As small portable forms of statuary, pipeclay objects provide a valuable insight into the religious beliefs and practices of the culturally mixed populations of the Roman provinces. This thesis provides a complete catalogue of the nearly 1000 published and unpublished pipeclay objects found in Britain, including figurines, busts, shrines, animal vessels and masks. This research is the first study of this material conducted since the late 1970s. Pipeclay objects were made in Gaul and the Rhine-Moselle region but not in Britain. Attention thus focuses on where and how the British finds were made by analysing their styles, types, fabrics and any makers’ marks. This reveals how the pipeclay market in Britain was supplied and how these objects were traded, and suggests that cultural rather than production and trade factors were more influential on pipeclay consumption in Britain.

Many Flea Beetles are among the most affective jumpers in the animal kingdom, sometimes better than their namesakes the true Fleas (Siphonaptera). However, despite some intensive study of the anatomy and function of the metafemoral spring (Barth, 1954; Ker, 1977) the true function of this jumping mechanism remains a mystery. It probably is some sort of voluntary Catch, in- volving build-up of tension from the large muscles that insert on the metafemoral spring (Fig. 1), and theo a quick release of this energy. Ofcourse some Flea Beetles jump better than others, but basically all have this internal metafemoral spring floating by attachment from large muscles in the relatively enlarged bind femoral capsule (see Fig. 1 ). In fact Flea Beetles can usually be easily separated from other beetles, including chrysomelid subfa- milies, by their greatly swollen bind femora. There are a few genera of Alticinae that have a metafemoral spring and yet do not jump. Actually there are a few genera that are considered to be Alticinae that lack the metafemo- ral spring, e. g. Orthaltica (Scherer, 1974, 1981b - as discussed in this Symposium). Also the tribe Decarthrocerini contains three genera from Africa that Wilcox (1965) con- sidered as Galerucinae, but now thinks to be intermediate between Galerucinae and Alti- cinae; at least one of these genera does have a metafemoral spring (Wilcox, personal communication, and Fürth, unpublished data).

  • Research of the Biodiversity of Tovacov Lakes
    Research of the biodiversity of Tovacov lakes (Czech Republic) Main researcher: Jan Ševčík Research group: Vladislav Holec Ondřej Machač Jan Ševčík Bohumil Trávníček Filip Trnka March – September 2014 Abstract We performed biological surveys of different taxonomical groups of organisms in the area of Tovacov lakes. Many species were found: 554 plant species, 107 spider species, 27 dragonflies, 111 butterfly species, 282 beetle species, orthopterans 17 and 7 amphibian species. Especially humid and dry open habitats and coastal lake zones were inhabited by many rare species. These biotopes were found mainly at the places where mining residuals were deposited or at the places which were appropriately prepared for mining by removing the soil to the sandy gravel base (on conditions that the biotope was still in contact with water level and the biotope mosaic can be created at the slopes with low inclination and with different stages of ecological succession). Field study of biotope preferences of the individual species from different places created during mining was performed using phytosociological mapping and capture traps. Gained data were analyzed by using ordinate analyses (DCA, CCA). Results of these analyses were interpreted as follows: Technically recultivated sites are quickly getting species – homogenous. Sites created by ecological succession are species-richer during their development. Final ecological succession stage (forest) can be achieved in the same time during ecological succession as during technical recultivation. According to all our research results most biologically valuable places were selected. Appropriate management was suggested for these places in order to achieve not lowering of their biological diversity. To even improve their biological diversity some principles and particular procedures were formulated.
