During this time, a total of 165 bird species were recorded, the highest year total of the last nine years at least, improving on the 159 seen in 2015 and the 164 in 2014. A total of five additional subspecies were confirmed during the year.

Page 2 Skomer Island seabird population summary 2016 Twelve species of seabird regularly breed on Skomer. In terms of numbers, 2016 was a good year for Fulmars and Puffins but not so good for the remainder of species. Guillemots were not counted (whole-island) in 2016, however the standard population plot counts were done and all other species were counted (whole- island). Most, however, had reasonable breeding success, with a combination of very few severe weather events during the breeding season and good local feeding contributing to good productivity for most species.

In addition, many breeding territories are noted during the daily patrol and wardening of the nature reserve. A total of 34 species of ‘landbird’ bred on Skomer this year. Goldfinch bred on the island for the first time. This is the most recent new addition to an ever-growing list of breeding bird species on the island, most recently following the addition of Water Rail in 2013, Chiffchaff in 2012, Tufted Duck in 2005 and Barn Owl in 2004.

Abstract The cabbage looper moth (CLM), Trichoplusia ni (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is an agricultural pest that has developed resistance to many frequently used insecticides, so alternative methods are required to reduce greenhouse CLM populations. Host plant volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) are used by female CLMs as cues for host location and oviposition. I hypothesized that changes in host plant VOC production, through genetic modification, could alter host location behaviour by CLMs. These changes in VOCs have potential to give rise to highly attractive transgenic trap crops.

  • BRINSLEY HEADSTOCKS Heritage & Nature Reserve. BUTTERFLIES
    BRINSLEY HEADSTOCKS Heritage & Nature Reserve. BUTTERFLIES and MOTHS 2016 BUTTERFLIES The mix of unimproved meadow, woodland and hedgerows provide an ideal habitat for a number of butterfly species. The total number of species recorded to date is 21, a very respectable total for a site the size of the Headstocks Nature Reserve. The number of species recorded in 2016 was 14 ( down from 18 in 2015 ). Recording was very difficult in 2016, as major path improvements on site from May until July made access difficult due to the heavy machinery used. The cold, wet spring also had an impact on early-flying species and once again the early cutting of the hay in the meadows curtailed the breeding success of the grassland butterflies. SMALL SKIPPER Thymelicus sylvestris The only record for the year was of two insects of this species seen on July 24th 2016. This species is normally recorded regularly in its flight period, with a maximum of eight recorded in 2015. ESSEX SKIPPER Thymelicus lineola Not recorded in 2016. The first site record for this species was of a single on August 12th 2015. There had been a few sightings of “possibles” in the preceding days, but the identity was confirmed by netting and close examination in an inspection jar. LARGE SKIPPER Ochlodes venatus A sin the last two years, there was only a single record of this species in 2016, when one was seen on July 5th. Normally present in both the long meadow and the headstocks meadow, although not as numerous as small skipper. BRIMSTONE Gonepteryx rhamni There were two records of this species in 2016, both in April and May ( as in 2015 ).

  • In Partnership with CATERPILLAR PESTS OF
    In partnership with CATERPILLAR PESTS OF BRASSICA CROPS – 21st May 2019 Summaries of sightings of diamond-back moth and silver Y moth in several northern European countries in 2019 can be found here: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/lifesci/wcc/research/pests/plutella/sightings2019/. These are moths captured or seen and reported on 'biodiversity monitoring' websites. The summaries of ‘citizen science’ moth sightings in the UK and on the continent will be supplemented by on- farm monitoring of diamond-back moth by several members of the Brassica Growers Association. Large numbers of diamond-back moths arrived in the UK on Friday 17th May https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/lifesci/wcc/research/pests/plutella/sightings2019/. The moths were first seen along the east coast of England but may have moved since then. This seems to have been the only ‘pulse’ of moths so far as lower numbers have been seen since then. If they arrive in brassicas then it is likely that the female diamond-back moths will lay eggs quite rapidly. You can get some idea of how long the eggs might take to hatch from the table on this web page https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/lifesci/wcc/research/pests/plutella/.

  • Lepidoptera of a Raised Bog and Adjacent Forest in Lithuania
    Eur. J. Entomol. 101: 63–67, 2004 ISSN 1210-5759 Lepidoptera of a raised bog and adjacent forest in Lithuania DALIUS DAPKUS Department of Zoology, Vilnius Pedagogical University, Studentų 39, LT–2004 Vilnius, Lithuania; e-mail: [email protected] Key words. Lepidoptera, tyrphobiontic and tyrphophilous species, communities, raised bog, wet forest, Lithuania Abstract. Studies on nocturnal Lepidoptera were carried out on the Laukėnai raised bog and the adjacent wet forest in 2001. Species composition and abundance were evaluated and compared. The species richness was much higher in the forest than at the bog. The core of each lepidopteran community was composed of 22 species with an abundance of higher than 1.0% of the total catch. Tyrpho- philous Hypenodes humidalis (22.0% of all individuals) and Nola aerugula (13.0%) were the dominant species in the raised bog community, while tyrphoneutral Pelosia muscerda (13.6%) and Eilema griseola (8.3%) were the most abundant species at the forest site. Five tyrphobiotic and nine tyrphophilous species made up 43.4% of the total catch on the bog, and three and seven species, respectively, at the forest site, where they made up 9.2% of all individuals. 59% of lepidopteran species recorded on the bog and 36% at the forest site were represented by less than five individuals. The species compositions of these communities showed a weak similarity. Habitat preferences of the tyrphobiontic and tyrphophilous species and dispersal of some of the species between the habi- tats are discussed. INTRODUCTION (1996). Ecological terminology is that of Mikkola & Spitzer (1983), Spitzer & Jaroš (1993), Spitzer (1994): tyrphobiontic The insect fauna of isolated raised bogs in Europe is species are species that are strongly associated with peat bogs, unique in having a considerable portion of relict boreal while tyrphophilous taxa are more abundant on bogs than in and subarctic species (Mikkola & Spitzer, 1983; Spitzer adjacent habitats.
