BROWER2 and SÖREN NYLIN1 1Department of Zoology, Stockholm University, S-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden 2Department of Zoology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon 97331–2907, USA Received 10 January 2004; accepted for publication 12 November 2004 We infer for the first time the phylogenetic relationships of genera and tribes in the ecologically and evolutionarily well-studied subfamily Nymphalinae using DNA sequence data from three genes: 1450 bp of cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) (in the mitochondrial genome), 1077 bp of elongation factor 1-alpha (EF1-a) and 400–403 bp of wing- less (both in the nuclear genome). We explore the influence of each gene region on the support given to each node of the most parsimonious tree derived from a combined analysis of all three genes using Partitioned Bremer Support. We also explore the influence of assuming equal weights for all characters in the combined analysis by investigating the stability of clades to different transition/transversion weighting schemes. We find many strongly supported and stable clades in the Nymphalinae. We are also able to identify ‘rogue’ -

The Forest of Dean in Spring
The Forest of Dean in Spring Naturetrek Tour Report 28th – 30th May 2021 Grey Wagtail (Oliver Smart) Dipper (Oliver Smart) Willow Warbler (Oliver Smart) Naturetrek Mingledown Barn Wolf's Lane Chawton Alton Hampshire GU34 3HJ UK T: +44 (0)1962 733051 E: [email protected] W: www.naturetrek.co.uk Tour Report The Forest of Dean in Spring Tour participants – Oliver Smart (Leader) with six Naturetrek clients Introduction The Forest of Dean comes alive in the spring with migrants arriving from Africa and the trees blossom and come into leaf. More visitors arrive too, to enjoy the sights, sounds and activities on offer. Nature is a predominant feature for many and the trails, forests, rivers and ponds produce an array of species as the warmer months continue. Covering an area of 110 square kilometres the Forest of Dean is, in places, ancient, dating back thousands of years. Today, along with mixed forest and coniferous plantations for commercial enterprises the deciduous oak woodlands are some of the best remnants in the country. Day 1 Friday 28th May We met together for dinner in the Verderer’s Courtroom at our hotel, tucking into some delicious meals and discussed the prospects for wildlife over the next two days. Oliver gave background details on the locations and wildlife that we hoped to target over the weekend, focussing on some of the key spring migrants and summer specialities. After dinner we quickly changed and headed out for an evening walk, taking in the milder conditions that we’ve finally been experiencing. The timing was perfect and within a short time on nearby heathland we witnessed three Nightjars flying overhead, coming within just a few metres, the males showing off their white wing flashes and tail feather spots. -
Folkestone and Hythe Birds Tetrad Guide: TR23 H (Mill Point East, Folkestone Harbour and Folkestone Pier)
Folkestone and Hythe Birds Tetrad Guide: TR23 H (Mill Point East, Folkestone Harbour and Folkestone Pier) The coastline is one of the main features within the tetrad, over half of which is comprised by sea. There is a shingle beach which runs from the west end to Folkestone Pier and at low tide a rocky area (Mill Point) is exposed in the western section. Inland of this, in the western half of the tetrad, is the Lower Leas Coastal Park, which extends into the adjacent square. The Coastal Park, which is also known as ‘Mill Point’, has been regularly watched since 1988 and a total of 172 species have been recorded here (the full list is provided at the end of this guide). The Coastal Park was created in 1784 when a landslip produced a new strip of land between the beach and the revised cliff line. In 1828 the Earl of Radnor built a toll road providing an easy route between the harbour and Sandgate and the toll house survives as a private residence within the tetrad. Looking west along Folkestone Beach towards the Lower Leas Coastal Park Looking south-east along Folkestone Pier Either side of the toll road land was cultivated or grazed until in the 1880s pines and Evergreen (Holm) Oaks were planted, being soon followed by self-seeded sycamores, creating a coastal woodland with a lower canopy of hawthorn and ground cover, designed to appeal to visitors to the emerging resort of Folkestone. Access to this wooded area is provided by the toll road and several paths, including the promenade on the Leas which affords good views into the tree tops, where crests, flycatchers and warblers, including Yellow-browed Warbler on occasion, may be seen. -
Special Edition: Moths Interview with Bart Coppens, Guest Speaker at ICBES 2017
INTERNATIONAL ASSOCI ATION OF BUTTERFLY EXHIBITORS AND SUPPL IERS Volume 16 Number 3 MAI– JUNE 2017 Visit us on the web at www.iabes.org Special edition: moths Interview with Bart Coppens, guest speaker at ICBES 2017 Who are you? I’m Bart Coppens (24) from the Netherlands – a fervent breeder of moths and aspiring entomologist. In my home I breed over 50 species of moths (mainly Saturniidae) on yearly basis. My goal is to expand what started out as a hobby into something more scientific. It turns out the life cycle and biology of many Saturni- idae is poorly known or even unrecorded. By importing eggs and cocoons of rare and obscure species and breeding them in cap- tivity I am able to record undescribed larvae, host plants and the life history of several moth species – information that I publish on a scientific level. My ambition is also to gradually get into more difficult subjects such as the taxonomy, morphology and evolution and perhaps even the organic chemistry (in terms of defensive chemicals) of Saturniidae – but for now these subjects are still beyond my le- Bart with Graellsia isabella vel of comprehension, as relatively young person that has not yet completed a formal education. I’d also like to say I have a general passion for all kinds of Lepidoptera, from butterflies to the tiniest species of moths, I truly like all of them. The reason I mention Saturniidae so much is because I have invested most of my time and expertise into this particular family of Lepidoptera, simply because this order of insects is too big to study on a general scale, so I decided to specialise myself a little in the kinds of moths I find the most impressi- ve and fascinating myself – and was already the most familiar with due to my breeding hobby. -

Having arrived late in the afternoon, the group were taken to a nearby hotel where they had the opportunity to freshen up before an evening meal and a more detailed introduction to the tour. Unlike the standard itinerary, our trip would be starting in the Dobrogea region en route to Tulcea and the Danube Delta, followed by a few days exploring the spectacular Transylvanian forest of the Carpathian Mountains. With appetites sufficiently whetted and all formalities completed, it was time to head off to bed ready for the beginning of our 10-day adventure in Romania, beginning tomorrow morning. Day 2 Tuesday 3rd September Vadu and Babadag Plateau Following a minor delay, we started our day joining the highway and heading east towards Tulcea, breaking up our long drive with a few stops along the way. -

(2010) Aglais Io (Linneus, 1758) in the Maltese Islands
The Central Mediterranean Naturalist 5(2): 63-66 Malta, December 2010 ___________________________________________________________ Aglais io (Linneus, 1758) in the Maltese Islands (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae). Denis CACHIA1 and Arnold SCIBERRAS2 _______________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT The appearance of two specimens of Aglais io (Linneus, 1758) in the Maltese Islands is reported in this work. These are only the 3rd and 4 rd Maltese records, and it is presumed to be an accidental species. All previous records are discussed. Keywords: Lepidoptera, Aglais io, Maltese Islands. ______________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION In the Maltese archipelago the Nymphalidae family is represented by 6 species, only two of which are regular migrants and sometimes residential. Both of these species also breed locally. Vanessa cardui (Linneus, 1758), the commonest nmphalid species on the islands, migrates by the thousands and this phenomenon is well documented (Valletta, 1952, 1971, Sammut, 1989, 2000 & Falzon 2003).Some very rare species occasionally arrive in the archipelago together with V.cardui. However, rare species are capable of migrating solitarily (Sciberras, 2004). Vanessa atalanta (Linneus, 1758) is also common, but much less so than V.cardui (Sciberras 2006). Its larvae however are more common than those of the latter (pers.obs.). Polygonia egea (Cramer, 1775) is represented by only two records (Valletta, 1948 a, b, 1980; Sammut, 2000; Sciberras & Schembri, -

Species richness declined along the urbanization gradient. Species that were most common in the whole city were Aglais io, Pieris napi and Pieris rapae. The highest number of species was recorded in ruderal sites and in parks, while species richness was low on cultivated lawns. We classify also butterflies recorded in Lodz using ecological attributes, describing all stages of their life cycle and host plants. On the basis of this analysis, we distinguished seven ecological groups of species within Lodz. Key words: Rhopalocera, urbanization gradient, ecological classification, urban ecosystems, conservation. Increasing urbanization is one of the major threats giewniki Forest (1200 ha). -
Climate-Induced Phenology Shifts Linked to Range Expansions in Species with Multiple Reproductive Cycles Per Year
ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-12479-w OPEN Climate-induced phenology shifts linked to range expansions in species with multiple reproductive cycles per year Callum J. Macgregor 1*, Chris D. Thomas 1, David B. Roy 2, Mark A. Beaumont3, James R. Bell4, Tom Brereton5, Jon R. Bridle3, Calvin Dytham 1, Richard Fox 5, Karl Gotthard 6, Ary A.

Hill 1 1234567890():,; Advances in phenology (the annual timing of species’ life-cycles) in response to climate change are generally viewed as bioindicators of climate change, but have not been considered as predictors of range expansions. Here, we show that phenology advances combine with the number of reproductive cycles per year (voltinism) to shape abundance and distribution trends in 130 species of British Lepidoptera, in response to ~0.5 °C spring-temperature warming between 1995 and 2014. Early adult emergence in warm years resulted in increased within- and between-year population growth for species with multiple reproductive cycles per year (n = 39 multivoltine species). By contrast, early emergence had neutral or negative consequences for species with a single annual reproductive cycle (n = 91 univoltine species), depending on habitat specialisation. We conclude that phenology advances facilitate pole- wards range expansions in species exhibiting plasticity for both phenology and voltinism, but may inhibit expansion by less flexible species. 1 Department of Biology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK. 2 Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Maclean Building, Benson Lane, Crowmarsh Gifford, Wallingford, Oxfordshire OX10 8BB, UK.
