Layman's Report THE RED LIST STATUS OF EUROPE’S OVERLOOKED SPECIES LIFE14 PRE BE 001 – Layman’s report This project was co-funded by the European Union under the LIFE Financial Instrument and the Grant Agreement n. LIFE14 PRE BE 001 About IUCN Created in 1948, IUCN represents one of the world’s largest and most diverse environmental networks. It harnesses the experience, resources and reach of more than 1,300 member organisations and the input of over 15,000 volunteer experts, organised in six commissions. IUCN is the global authority on the status of the natural world and the measures needed to safeguard it. The IUCN Global Species Programme supports the activities of the IUCN Species Survival Commission and individual Specialist Groups, as well as implementing global species conservation initiatives. It is an integral part of the IUCN Secretariat and is managed from IUCN’s international headquarters in Gland, Switzerland. What is the IUCN Red List? The European Red List The IUCN Red List of Threatened SpeciesTM is the When conducting regional or national assessments, world’s most comprehensive information source on and to ensure that the criteria are applied the extinction risk of plant and animal species. It is a appropriately at such scales, the IUCN has compilation of the conservation status of species at developed the Guidelines for Application of IUCN Red the global level, based on the best scientific List Criteria at Regional Levels.1 information available. The IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria are based on a set of quantitative criteria linked to population trends, size and structure, threats, and geographic ranges of species. While they were 1 https://cmsdata.iucn.org/downloads/redlistguidelines.pdf developed for use at the global level, the criteria can also be applied for regional or national assessments. Establishing a European Red List of Bryophytes, Pteridophytes, Saproxylic Beetles, Terrestrial Molluscs and Vascular Plants The objective of this project was to produce a European Red List of bryophytes and pteridophytes, to complete the existing European Red Lists for terrestrial molluscs, and to assess a selection of saproxylic beetles and vascular plants (shrubs and trees), six species groups that play a key role in providing ecosystem services. The status of a total of 4,196 species was assessed over the 4 years of the project (2015-2019) using the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria adjusted for regional assessments . A total of six European Red Lists were produced, three online brochures and three paper copy booklets. The geographical scope is continent-wide, extending from Iceland in the west to the Urals in the east, and from Franz Josef Land in the north to the Canary Islands in the south. The Caucasus region is not included. Red List assessments were made at two regional levels: for geographical Europe, and for the 28 Member States of the European Union. Developing a European Red List for these species groups has provided a comprehensive overview of their extinction risk, distributions and main threats in Europe, and will contribute to guiding policy decisions and conservation actions. The IUCN Red List Assessment CompletingProcess and publishing a Red List assessment is a time-consuming process, which is why these projects typically take 2-4 years to complete, depending on the number of species being assessed. The process involves extensive literature searches (published and unpublished scientific literature and reports, internet searches) and interviewing species experts. Sometimes workshops need to be held where species experts get together to discuss the available information and carry out assessments. The first step in the process is to train the experts (assessors) in the use of the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria. During this project a total of 15 workshops were held; 3 of which were training workshops and 12 were assessment workshops to assess subsets of species thought to be the most threatened and/or for which there was not enough data (5 of these were held for Bryophytes, 1 for Ferns, 1 for Beetles , 2 for Terrestrial Molluscs and for 3 Trees and shrubs). Figure 1. The IUCN Red List Criteria and Categories used in regional assessments. The percentage threatened reported throughout this document for each species group are calculated by combining the Critically Endangered (CR), a. Endangered (EN) and Vulnerable (VU) Categories. All of the assessment information was then entered into a database (the Species Information System – SIS). Once the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria have been applied to the compiled information, a draft assessment is ready. The draft assessment needs to be reviewed by external experts and by IUCN staff to ensure that all the knowledge about the species has been compiled and that the criteria have been applied properly. Once this has been completed the final assessment can be submitted to the IUCN Red List Unit for final quality checks. The assessment is then published on the IUCN Red List website.

Biodiversity Data Journal 3: e4078. doi: 10.3897/BDJ.3.e4078 Abstract Saproxylic beetles – associated with dead wood or with other insects, fungi and microorganisms that decompose it – play a major role in forest nutrient cycling. They are important ecosystem service providers and are used as key bio-indicators of old-growth forests. In France alone, where the present study took place, there are about 2500 species distributed within 71 families. This high diversity represents a major challenge for specimen sorting and identification. The PASSIFOR project aims at developing a DNA metabarcoding approach to facilitate and enhance the monitoring of saproxylic beetles as indicators in ecological studies.

A survey on the occurrence of Longhorn-beetles in the Province of South Tyrol-Bolzano is given. The first monograph of the Longhorn-beetles (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) of the fauna of South Tyrol (N-Italy: Province Bozen-Bolzano) was published by the Author back in 1967. Over 40 years later, a current up- dated and revised edition is given, where also incisive changes and innovations on the valid actual scientific nomenclature of species that occurred since the first edition are considered. Scientific nomenclature follows the recent publications of BENSE (1995), JANIS (2001) and FAUNA EUROPAEA (2007/09) respectively. Detailed descriptions of the presence and biology of some Cerambycid species are given for the first time. Also a historical review of Cerambycid-studies in South-Tirol is given. Apart from the own recent collec- tions and observations made by the Author during the last 45 years, further considered were the findings and rearing results of five other collectors and colleagues, operating here for the last decades, like: M. Kahlen (Hall i.Tirol), W. Schwienbacher (Auer), M. Egger (Innsbruck), E. Niederfriniger (Schenna) und G. v. Mörl (Brixen).

Read Full License Page 1/28 Abstract Background: Mongolian oak forest is a deciduous secondary forest with a large distribution area in the Changbai Mountain area. The majority of longhorn beetle species feed on forest resources, The number of some species is also large, which has a potential risk for forest health, and have even caused serious damage to forests. Clarifying the distribution pattern of longhorn beetles in Mongolian oak forests is of great scientic value for the monitoring and control of some pest populations. Methods: 2018 and 2020, ying interception traps were used to continuously collect longhorn samples from the canopy and bottom of the ridge, southern slope, and northern slope of the oak forest in Changbai Mountain, and the effects of topographic conditions on the spatial distribution pattern of longhorn beetles were analyzed. Results: A total of 4090 individuals, 56 species, and 6 subfamilies of longhorn beetles were collected in two years. The number of species and individuals of Cerambycinae and Lamiinae were the highest, and the number of Massicus raddei (Blessig), Moechotypa diphysis (Pascoe), Mesosa myopsmyops (Dalman), and Prionus insularis Motschulsky was relatively abundant.

  • 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.

In many countries, they are well established for environmental impact assessment, but even in the well-studied Central European fauna, species identification can be very difficult. A comprehensive and taxonomically well-curated DNA barcode library could remedy this deficit and could also link hundreds of years of traditional knowledge with next generation sequencing technology. However, such a beetle library is missing to date. This study provides the globally largest DNA barcode reference library for Coleoptera for 15 948 individuals belonging to 3514 well-identified species (53% of the German fauna) with representatives from 97 of 103 families (94%). This study is the first comprehensive regional test of the efficiency of DNA barcoding for beetles with a focus on Germany. Sequences ≥500 bp were recovered from 63% of the specimens analysed (15 948 of 25 294) with short sequences from another 997 specimens.

  • Traps and Attractants for Wood-Boring Insects in Ponderosa Pine Stands in the Black Hills, South Dakota
    FOREST ENTOMOLOGY Traps and Attractants for Wood-Boring Insects in Ponderosa Pine Stands in the Black Hills, South Dakota 1,2,3 2 1 SHERYL L. COSTELLO, JOSE´ F. NEGRO´ N, AND WILLIAM R. JACOBI J. Econ. Entomol. 101(2): 409Ð420 (2008) ABSTRACT Recent large-scale wildÞres have increased populations of wood-boring insects in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Because little is known about possible impacts of wood-boring insects in the Black Hills, land managers are interested in developing monitoring techniques such as ßight trapping with semiochemical baits. Two trap designs and four semiochemical attractants were tested in a recently burned ponderosa pine, Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws., forest in the Black Hills. ModiÞed panel and funnel traps were tested in combination with the attractants, which included a woodborer standard (ethanol and ␣-pinene), standard plus 3-carene, standard plus ipsenol, and standard plus ipsdienol. We found that funnel traps were equally efÞcient or more efÞcient in capturing wood-boring insects than modiÞed panel traps. Trap catches of cerambycids increased when we added the Ips spp. pheromone components (ipsenol or ipsdienol) or the host monoterpene (3-carene) to the woodborer standard. During the summers of 2003 and 2004, 18 cerambycid, 14 buprestid, and Þve siricid species were collected. One species of cerambycid, Monochamus clamator (LeConte), composed 49 and 40% of the 2003 and 2004 trap catches, respectively. Two other cerambycids, Acanthocinus obliquus (LeConte) and Acmaeops proteus (Kirby), also were frequently collected. Flight trap data indicated that some species were present throughout the summer, whereas others were caught only at the beginning or end of the summer.
