Speak up now! Rutland Water. Would you like to travel by minibus to our Rutland Water field visit on Thursday 6 September? Several members requested that we arrange this and David Knapp is willing to do so as long as there is sufficient interest - at least sixteen people would be 1 needed. The cost of a minibus would be £20 per person. The departure/return point would, as usual, be St Mark’s Church car park in Bilton, with additional pick up/drop off points in Long Itchington and Marton. The proposed return visit to Oxford Natural History Museum was cancelled because there were not enough people to make it viable. This is therefore now the FINAL CALL (!) for Rutland Water. If you would be interested in travelling by minibus, please let David know by Wednesday 1 August 2018 and he will then get back to you with further details. Tel. 01788 817346 or e:mail [email protected] News of members Most members will already know that Frank Ollerenshaw died in May. Nine of us attended his funeral, where we learned that he had served in young people’s organisations, as well as being a member both of the society and of Warwickshire Wildlife Trust and having many other interests.

Nature Conservation 18: 31–48. doi: 10.3897/ natureconservation.6.5205 Abstract Currently, we are experiencing biodiversity loss on different spatial scales. One of the best studied taxo- nomic groups in decline is the butterflies. Here, we review evidence for such declines using five systematic studies from southern Sweden that compare old butterfly surveys with the current situation. Additionally, we provide data on butterfly and burnet moth extinctions in the region’s counties. In some local areas, half of the butterfly fauna has been lost during the last 60–100 years.

  • Oregon Silverspot Recovery Plan
    PART I INTRODUCTION Overview The Oregon silverspot butterfly (Speyeria zerene hippolyta) is a small, darkly marked coastal subspecies of the Zerene fritillary, a widespread butterfly species in montane western North America. The historical range of the subspecies extends from Westport, Grays Harbor County, Washington, south to Del Norte County, California. Within its range, the butterfly is known to have been extirpated from at least 11 colonies (2 in Washington, 8 in Oregon, and 1 in California). We, the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, listed the Oregon silverspot butterfly was listed as a threatened species with critical habitat in 1980 (USDI 1980; 45 FR 44935). We completed a recovery plan for this species in 1982 (USDI 1982). The species recovery priority number is 3, indicating a high degree of threat and high recovery potential (USDI 1983; 48 FR 43098). At the time of listing, the only viable population known was at Rock Creek-Big Creek in Lane County, Oregon, and was managed by the U.S. Forest Service (Siuslaw National Forest). The Siuslaw National Forest developed an implementation plan (Clady and Parsons 1984) to guide management of the species at Rock Creek-Big Creek and Mount Hebo (Mt. Hebo) in Tillamook County, Oregon. Additional Oregon silverspot butterfly populations were discovered at Cascade Head, Bray Point, and Clatsop Plains in Oregon, on the Long Beach Peninsula in Washington, and in Del Norte County in California. The probability of survival of four populations has been increased by management efforts of the Siuslaw National Forest and The Nature Conservancy, however, some threats to the species remain at all of the sites.
