Leaf Beetle Larvae
Scottish Beetles BeesIntroduction and wasps to Leaf Beetles (Chrysomelidae) There are approximately 281 species of leaf beetles in the UK. This guide is an introduction to 17 species found in this family. It is intended to be used in combination with the beetle anatomy guide and survey and recording guides. Colourful and often metallic beetles, where the 3rd tarsi is heart shaped. Species in this family are 1-18mm and are oval or elongated oval shaped. The plants each beetle is found on are usually key to their identification. Many of the species of beetles found in Scotland need careful examination with a microscope to identify them. This guide is designed to introduce some of the leaf beetles you may find and give some key Dead nettle leaf beetle (Chrysolina fastuosa ) 5-6mm This leaf beetle is found on hemp nettle and dead nettle plants. It is beautifully coloured with its typically metallic green base and blue, red and gold banding. The elytra are densely punctured. Where to look - Found mainly in wetlands from March to December from the Central Belt to Aberdeenshire and Inverness © Ben Hamers © Ben Rosemary leaf beetle (Chrysolina americana ) 6-8mm The Rosemary beetle is a recent invasive non- native species introduced to the UK through the international plant trade. This beetle is metallic red/burgundy with green striping. There are lines of punctures typically following the green stripes. Where to look - Found in nurseries, gardens and parks. Feeds on lavender and rosemary in particular. There have been records in Edinburgh but this beetle is spreading. -

Effect of Distance to Urban Areas on Saproxylic Beetles in Urban Forests
Effect of distance to urban areas on saproxylic beetles in urban forests Effekt av avstånd till bebyggda områden på vedlevande skalbaggar i urbana skogsområden Jeffery D Marker Faculty of Health, Science and Technology Biology: Ecology and Conservation Biology Master’s thesis, 30 hp Supervisor: Denis Lafage Examiner: Larry Greenberg 2019-01-29 Series number: 19:07 2 Abstract Urban forests play key roles in animal and plant biodiversity and provide important ecosystem services. Habitat fragmentation and expanding urbanization threaten biodiversity in and around urban areas. Saproxylic beetles can act as bioindicators of forest health and their diversity may help to explain and define urban-forest edge effects. I explored the relationship between saproxylic beetle diversity and distance to an urban area along nine transects in the Västra Götaland region of Sweden. Specifically, the relationships between abundance and species richness and distance from the urban- forest boundary, forest age, forest volume, and tree species ratio was investigated Unbaited flight interception traps were set at intervals of 0, 250, and 500 meters from an urban-forest boundary to measure beetle abundance and richness. A total of 4182 saproxylic beetles representing 179 species were captured over two months. Distance from the urban forest boundary showed little overall effect on abundance suggesting urban proximity does not affect saproxylic beetle abundance. There was an effect on species richness, with saproxylic species richness greater closer to the urban-forest boundary. Forest volume had a very small positive effect on both abundance and species richness likely due to a limited change in volume along each transect. An increase in the occurrence of deciduous tree species proved to be an important factor driving saproxylic beetle abundance moving closer to the urban-forest. -
Diversity of Chrysomelidae (Coleoptera) at a Mountain Range in the Limit of the Eurosiberian Region, Northwest Spain: Species Richness and Beta Diversity
© Entomologica Fennica. 6 June 2007 Diversity of Chrysomelidae (Coleoptera) at a mountain range in the limit of the Eurosiberian region, northwest Spain: species richness and beta diversity Andrés Baselga & Francisco Novoa Baselga, A. & Novoa, F. 2007: Diversity of Chrysomelidae (Coleoptera) at a mountain range in the limit of the Eurosiberian region, northwest Spain: species richness and beta diversity. — Entomol. Fennica 18: 65–73. Chrysomelidae from the Sierra de Queixa mountains (Galicia, northwest Spain) were sampled, reporting 93 species. The estimated local species richness using several non-parametric estimators and accumulation models varies between 104 and 142 species. To compare the Chrysomelidae fauna from Sierra de Queixa with other Galician assemblages we have assessed beta diversity among invento- ries and we have tested the differences on the zoogeographic compositions among areas. Sierra de Queixa is grouped with other Galician mountain ranges located in the transition zone between Eurosiberian and Mediterranean regions, and it is characterised by a high proportion of Iberian endemic species, signifi- cantly higher than expected. Therefore, Chrysomelidae fauna from Sierra de Queixa represents a unique assemblage of Eurosiberian elements that reached the area due to the climatic conditions and Iberian endemic species that are present in the Iberian mountains due to its historic role as southern refugia during glaci- ations.

Review of Evidence Concerning Ragwort Impacts, Ecology and Control Options
Review of evidence concerning ragwort impacts, ecology and control options Report to Defra OCTOBER 2013 Authors: Ruth Laybourn, Debbie Kessell, Naomi Jones, Simon Conyers, Caroline Hallam, Nigel Boatman Food and Environment Research Agency Sand Hutton, York, YO41 1LZ 1 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction Ragwort is a widespread native plant in the UK, which occurs in a range of habitats including those used for grazing livestock and hay or silage production, and is of concern because it contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) which are toxic to livestock. Problems have occurred particularly with poisoning of horses. Ragwort is a specified weed in the Weeds Act 1959, under which land owners can be required to take all reasonable steps to prevent spread on their land and onto adjoining land. Defra have issued a Code of Practice on How to Prevent the Spread of Ragwort, which was published in 2004 (revised 2007) (Defra, 2007). In order to ensure that guidance continues to be based on the latest and best evidence, the work reported here was commissioned by Defra with the following objectives: o Review and update the evidence base on the impacts of ragwort on livestock, methods of control and the cost, benefits and impacts of control; o Investigate experience of ragwort problems, policy and control in other countries o Make suggestions relating to the Code of Practice and further research needs. Biology and ecology Studies of Ragwort ecology and distribution have shown that: Ragwort is found in a wide range of habitats but requires bare ground or disturbance to establish. Ragwort plants form a rosette in their first year and typically flower, set seed and die in the second year, though in some situations they can be longer lived. -
The Leaf Beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) of the Pirin Mountain (Bulgaria)
Historia naturalisThe bulgarica,leaf beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) of the Pirin Mountain (Bulgaria) 51 17: 51-79, 2006 The leaf beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) of the Pirin Mountain (Bulgaria) Blagoy GRUEV GRUEV B. 2006. The leaf beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) of the Pirin Mountain (Bulgaria). – Historia naturalis bulgarica, 17: 51-79. Abstract. The paper reviews the diversity of leaf beetles of Pirin Mts, South Bulgaria. Two- hundred and eghty nine (sub)species are hitherto registered on the territory of the mountain (of them 38 are new records), which counts to approx. 57 % of the Bulgarian chrysomelid fauna. Of them, six species (Clytra valeriana tetrastigma, Luperus graecus, Gonioctena pallida reticulata, Oreina speciosissima drenskii, O. virgulata ljubetensis, Aphthona parnassicola) are Balkan endemics, and one (Longitarsus behnei) is local endemic. The dominant zoogeographical complexes are: Siberian (150 taxa), and European (113 taxa). Key words: Leaf beetles, Chrysomelidae, Faunistics. Zoogeography, Pirin Mts, Bulgaria Introduction The Chrysomelidae fauna of the Pirin Mountain has not been a subject of special investigations. Nevertheless, 289 species and subspecies have been established in the mountain by now (38 of them are herein newly recorded as belonging to the fauna of the mountain; asterisked in the faunistic list). That number is sizable considering that it represents 57 % of the taxa known in Bulgaria. It cannot be affirmed, however, that the faunistic composition is finally fixed. Findings of some rather more widespread species are quite possible, especially in the low parts of the mountain. It is also possible some other high mountain relicts, Mideuropean in origin, to be found (particularly representatives of Oreina and Chrysolina).
