They are also listed as NI Priority Species and Species of Conservation Concern (SoCC); and • Invertebrate diversity can be a good indicator of wider ecosystem health and wider biodiversity value across habitats (e.g. Baldi, 2003; Raino & Niemela, 2003). Appendix 11 – Ecology and Nature Conservation A.11V -2 Terrestrial Invertebrates © Mouchel 2010 A5 Western Transport Corridor Volume 3 – Appendices 718736-3000-R-008 REV A Legislation The Wildlife (Northern Ireland) Order 1985 (as amended) makes it an offence to intentionally kill, injure, or take an invertebrate species listed in Schedule 5 to that Order and / or intentionally damage or destroy such a species breeding site or place of rest / shelter, and / or intentionally disturb such an invertebrate while it occupies such as place. Invertebrate species listed in Schedule 5 to that Order consist of the following: • Holly blue Celastrina argiolus ; • Large heath Coenonympha tullia ; • Small blue Cupido minimus ; • Dingy skipper Erynnis tages; • Marsh fritillary Eurodryas aurinia ; • Brimstone Gonepteryx rhamni ; and • Purple hairstreak Quercusia quercus. EC Directives and European Conventions aimed at conserving biodiversity that are particularly relevant to terrestrial invertebrate species, include Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (“the Habitats Directive”) and the 1979 Bern Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats” Appendix 11 – Ecology and Nature Conservation A.11V -3 Terrestrial Invertebrates © Mouchel 2010 A5 Western Transport Corridor Volume 3 – Appendices 718736-3000-R-008 REV A Conservation Status In Biodiversity in NI: Recommendations to Government for a NI Biodiversity Strategy , the NI Biodiversity Group recognised the need to develop lists of NI Priority Species (which require conservation action) and SoCC species (which require monitoring because they may need conservation action in the future). Draft lists of NI Priority Species and NI SoCC species were published in NI Biodiversity Strategy Proposals in 1999. In 2004 these lists were reviewed by collating proposals and supporting information supplied by experts on species groups, then refining and applying the selection criteria. The current list includes 66 invertebrate SoCC species, of which 50 are NI Priority Species. This list was used as the basis for the original scoping study (Mouchel, 2009a); with the habitat requirements and historical distribution of all SoCC species being considered. Appendix 11 – Ecology and Nature Conservation A.11V -4 Terrestrial Invertebrates © Mouchel 2010 A5 Western Transport Corridor Volume 3 – Appendices 718736-3000-R-008 REV A Policy Framework and Guidance Notes The following policies and guidance documents aim to help conserve and protect significant terrestrial invertebrate species within NI and the study area: • Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB), Volume 11 Environmental Assessment - Outlines potential impacts of road schemes on ecological receptors and designated sites, in addition to describing assessment and mitigation techniques ; • Roads Service Biodiversity Implementation Plan; • Planning Policy Statement (PPS) 2 – Planning and Nature Conservation - Outlines the need to consider biodiversity during the planning process within NI; • Northern Ireland Biodiversity Strategy - Outlines the requirement to identify SoCC and PSoCC and the delivery of Species and Habitat Biodiversity Action Plans; • Local Development Plans - The West Tyrone, Dungannon and South Tyrone, and Londonderry Area Plans all highlight the need to maintain existing levels of biodiversity within their jurisdictions; • NI Biodiversity Strategy and associated Plans - Individual Species Action Plans exist for several NI species including marsh fritillary butterfly Eurodryas aurinia and narrow- bordered bee hawk-moth Hemaris tityus; and • Local Biodiversity Action Plans - The Londonderry LBAP lists bumblebees as Priority Species, whilst the Omagh LBAP lists Irish damselfly Coenagrion lunulatum and green hairstreak butterfly Callophrys rubi. Appendix 11 – Ecology and Nature Conservation A.11V -5 Terrestrial Invertebrates © Mouchel 2010 A5 Western Transport Corridor Volume 3 – Appendices 718736-3000-R-008 REV A Baseline Data Collection Field surveys were undertaken in eight specific locations within this study area which were thought most likely to support good assemblages of notable terrestrial invertebrates. These were based upon analysis of baseline habitat surveys identifying the majority of semi-natural habitats within what are termed Eco Identity Areas (EID Areas) within a 1-3km corridor roughly centred on the scheme route (see Habitats and Flora Appendix 11G). The methods used to collect information on significant terrestrial invertebrates followed the guidance provided within Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB), Volume 11, Section 3, Part 4 Ecology & Nature Conservation. This included: • Obtaining up-to-date details of the location and nature of all statutory and non- statutory designated sites, notified for their value to invertebrate species, within the study area from the NI Environment Agency (NIEA) (formerly Environment and Heritage Service [EHS]); • Collation of information from desk-based sources relating to the presence of significant terrestrial invertebrates in NI and, where possible, potential distribution and habitat preference; and • Completion of detailed field surveys to identify the presence / likely absence of notable terrestrial invertebrates within the vicinity of the Preferred Route. Selection of Field Survey Sites Habitat parcels within the study area were appraised for their potential to support significant invertebrate species or assemblages. This evaluation was used to identify area which would be subject to field survey if the location was likely to be affected by the Proposed Scheme. The appraisal was based on desk study data (including those undertaken during Stage 2) and the results of consultations with statutory and non-statutory nature conservation organisations. Criteria used to determine the potential value of sites included the presence of appropriate habitat types, host plant species and historical presence of a particular species within the study area. Information from the NI’s Species of Conservation Concern website (EHS, 2007) allowed species to be grouped according to their habitat requirements.The habitat information from the Habitats and Flora baseline studies was then compared with these requirements to identify habitat areas within the study area which may be suitable for SoCC invertebrate species. Each suitable EID Area was ranked purely on the number of supporting habitats each ID area contained. Appendix 11 – Ecology and Nature Conservation A.11V -6 Terrestrial Invertebrates © Mouchel 2010 A5 Western Transport Corridor Volume 3 – Appendices 718736-3000-R-008 REV A Field Survey Once sites were identified for survey, two survey methods were used at each location, if appropriate: • sweeping a large diameter net through grass, herbage, shrubs and overhanging trees. Specimens were extracted from the net with a pooter or, in the case of larger specimens, individually potted in glass tubes. When sampling was completed, or the pooter became too full, the contents were

    _____________Mun. Ent. Zool. Vol. 5, Suppl., October 2010________ 1011 A PRELIMINARY LIST OF HETEROPTERA COLLECTED IN MARDIN AND SIIRT PROVINCES FROM SOUTH- EASTERN ANATOLIA OF TURKEY (HEMIPTERA) Armand Matocq* and İnanç Özgen** * Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Départment Systématique & Evolution (Entomologie), 45 rue Buffon, F – 75005 Paris, FRANCE. E-mail: [email protected] ** Plant Protection, Department of Agricultural Faculty of Dicle University, Diyarbakır, TURKEY. E-mail: [email protected] [Matocq, A. & Özgen, İ. 2010. A preliminary list of Heteroptera collected in Mardin and Siirt provinces from South-Eastern Anatolia of Turkey (Hemiptera). Munis Entomology & Zoology, 5, suppl. : 1011-1019] ABSTRACT: Fifty eight species and subspecies of Hemiptera, Heteroptera are recorded from Mardin and Siirt provinces. Specimens were collected by light trap in Pistachio and Cherry orchards during July and August 2009. The species belong to 50 genera and 11 families. The two best represented families are Miridae and Lygaeidae (respectively 16 genera and 27 genera). No species appears to be pest for agriculture, but surprisingly no representative of Pentatomidae, Scutelleridae or Tingidae were captured by the light trap. Eight species and subspecies (seven mirids and one reduviid) are newly reported for Turkey. KEY WORDS: Hemiptera, Heteroptera, fauna, Southeastern Anatolia, Turkey. Heteroptera species of the Southeastern Turkey are still poorly known and, as far as we know, no faunistic list exists until now for the suborder for this part of Turkey. Nevertheless some data exist. Puton (1892) and Puton & Noualhier (1895) were probably the first to bring important information most concerning the Eastern mediterranean region: they gave a list of more than 200 heteropteran species and subspecies collected in Akbez, in “Amanos Mountains (North of Syria)”, a locality now in Turkey (Hatay province).

  • Scottish Macro-Moth List, 2015
    Notes on the Scottish Macro-moth List, 2015 This list aims to include every species of macro-moth reliably recorded in Scotland, with an assessment of its Scottish status, as guidance for observers contributing to the National Moth Recording Scheme (NMRS). It updates and amends the previous lists of 2009, 2011, 2012 & 2014. The requirement for inclusion on this checklist is a minimum of one record that is beyond reasonable doubt. Plausible but unproven species are relegated to an appendix, awaiting confirmation or further records. Unlikely species and known errors are omitted altogether, even if published records exist. Note that inclusion in the Scottish Invertebrate Records Index (SIRI) does not imply credibility. At one time or another, virtually every macro-moth on the British list has been reported from Scotland. Many of these claims are almost certainly misidentifications or other errors, including name confusion. However, because the County Moth Recorder (CMR) has the final say, dubious Scottish records for some unlikely species appear in the NMRS dataset. A modern complication involves the unwitting transportation of moths inside the traps of visiting lepidopterists. Then on the first night of their stay they record a species never seen before or afterwards by the local observers. Various such instances are known or suspected, including three for my own vice-county of Banffshire. Surprising species found in visitors’ traps the first time they are used here should always be regarded with caution. Clerical slips – the wrong scientific name scribbled in a notebook – have long caused confusion. An even greater modern problem involves errors when computerising the data.

  • (Other Than Moths) Attracted to Light
    Insects (other than moths) attracted to light Prepared by Martin Harvey for BENHS workshop on 9 December 2017 Although light-traps go hand-in-hand with catching and recording moths, a surprisingly wide range of other insects can be attracted to light and appear in light-traps on a regular or occasional basis. The lists below show insects recorded from light-traps of various kinds, mostly from southern central England but with some additions from elsewhere in Britain, and based on my records from the early 1990s to date. Nearly all are my own records, plus a few of species that I have identified for other moth recorders. The dataset includes 2,446 records of 615 species. (See the final page of this document for a comparison with another list from Andy Musgrove.) This isn’t a rigorous survey: it represents those species that I have identified and recorded in a fairly ad hoc way over the years. I record insects in light-traps fairly regularly, but there are of course biases based on my taxonomic interests and abilities. Some groups that come to light regularly are not well-represented on this list, e.g. chironomid midges are missing despite their frequent abundance in light traps, Dung beetle Aphodius rufipes there are few parasitic wasps, and some other groups such as muscid © Udo Schmidt flies and water bugs are also under-represented. It’s possible there are errors in this list, e.g. where light-trapping has been erroneously recorded as a method for species found by day. I’ve removed the errors that I’ve found, but I might not yet have found all of them.

  • 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.

  • INVERTEBRATES 1. Introduction This Appendix Reports
    RAYMOND BROWN EXTENSION TO BRICKWORTH QUARRY MINERALS AND RECYCLING LTD ECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ APPENDIX 4: INVERTEBRATES 1. Introduction 1.1.1 This appendix reports the findings of an invertebrate survey carried out on the proposed extension areas to Brickworth Quarry. Survey was undertaken in 2015 by Dr Peter Kirby and Christopher Kirby Lambert MBiol. Both are experienced invertebrate surveyors. 1.1.2 The proposed extension includes two separate areas immediately adjacent to, and separated by, the active workings. These areas are Church and Lowdens Copse (Area A) to the east of the quarry area and Gooseye and Sandland Copse (Area B) to the west. Both areas consist of a complex of habitats including remnants of ancient woodland, rides and tracks, damp areas, conifer plantation, grass fields and other relatively open habitat. Whilst relatively diverse, all of the habitats present are greatly compromised by modification. The majority of the survey area consists of conifer plantation on land previously occupied by ancient woodland. The plantation areas have been variously managed and in places there are remnants of ancient broadleaved woodland, a habitat that would once have been predominant on the site. In addition to the more extensive areas of broadleaved remnant there are scattered broadleaved trees throughout the site as well as large hazel dominated hedgerows marking boundaries. As would be expected from a site dominated by conifer plantations most of the site was under closed canopy woodland or otherwise heavily shaded. 1.1.3 A system of rides and tracks criss-cross the site and provide somewhat more open habitats but these are generally still narrow, shaded and support species poor vegetation.

    F. Christian Thompson Neal L. Evenhuis and Curtis W. Sabrosky Bibliography of the Family-Group Names of Diptera Bibliography Thompson, F. C, Evenhuis, N. L. & Sabrosky, C. W. The following bibliography gives full references to 2,982 works cited in the catalog as well as additional ones cited within the bibliography. A concerted effort was made to examine as many of the cited references as possible in order to ensure accurate citation of authorship, date, title, and pagination. References are listed alphabetically by author and chronologically for multiple articles with the same authorship. In cases where more than one article was published by an author(s) in a particular year, a suffix letter follows the year (letters are listed alphabetically according to publication chronology). Authors' names: Names of authors are cited in the bibliography the same as they are in the text for proper association of literature citations with entries in the catalog. Because of the differing treatments of names, especially those containing articles such as "de," "del," "van," "Le," etc., these names are cross-indexed in the bibliography under the various ways in which they may be treated elsewhere. For Russian and other names in Cyrillic and other non-Latin character sets, we follow the spelling used by the authors themselves. Dates of publication: Dating of these works was obtained through various methods in order to obtain as accurate a date of publication as possible for purposes of priority in nomenclature. Dates found in the original works or by outside evidence are placed in brackets after the literature citation.

  • Bainton Heath – Invertebrate Survey 2011
    Bainton Heath Invertebrate Survey 2011 P. Kirby report to the Wildlife Trust & The Langdyke Trust November 2011 Contents Introduction 1 Methods 2 Target groups 5 Nomenclature 6 Statuses 7 Timetable of work 10 Constraints and limitations of survey 10 Results 11 Assessment of the invertebrate fauna 17 Management suggestions 22 References 24 Appendix 1. Complete list of recorded species 27 Introduction The greater part of the area known as Bainton Heath has developed on tipped fly ash. The very free-draining ground which results is unusual for the Peterborough area, and developed a characteristic flora which, because of difficult growing conditions and rabbit pressure, was subject to very slow successional change. By 2011, however, the effects of succession have become very visible and a cause for concern. Very open conditions, with bare ground and a wide mix of low-growing herbs were formerly extensive, but are now restricted to relatively small pockets of high rabbit activity. A large area is occupied by floristically poor grassland dominated by wood small-reed Calamagrostis epigeios, and scrub, dominated by hawthorn, bramble and rose, is widespread and in places dense, especially towards the edges of the tip. Invertebrate survey was commissioned by the Langdyke Trust in 2011 to inform management of the site. The 2011 survey area includes only the northern part of the former fly-ash tip, but extends into peripheral habitats. A strip of land along the northern side contains plantation woodland, two pools, and scrub and rough grassland on “native” substrate, and there are planted trees – especially conifers – along the bank which forms the edge of the tip to the east.
