  • Ant-Like Flower Beetles (Coleoptera: Anthicidae) of the Uk, Ireland and Channel Isles
    BR. J. ENT. NAT. HIST., 23: 2010 99 ANT-LIKE FLOWER BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: ANTHICIDAE) OF THE UK, IRELAND AND CHANNEL ISLES DMITRY TELNOV Stopinu novads, Darza iela 10, LV-2130, Dzidrinas, Latvia; E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Anthicidae or ant-like flower beetles of the UK, Ireland and Channel Isles are reviewed. A species list, identification key, short diagnoses and illustrations of all taxa are given. Brief information on known ecological preferences of species is given. Key words: identification, distribution, key, United Kingdom, Ireland, fauna, ecology. INTRODUCTION Anthicidae are a cosmopolitan family of small to medium-sized, fast-moving beetles of the superfamily Tenebrionoidea. Anthicidae are represented in the World fauna by approximately 100 genera, and about 3500 species (Chandler, 2010). Only a few species are known from the fossil record. The last revision of the British Anthicidae was published by F. D. Buck (1954) in the well-known series Handbooks for the Identification of British Insects. Since then, there have been numerous nomenclatural changes within Anthicidae, and some additional species (introduced) have been recorded from the UK, making Buck’s key out of date. During 2004 and 2005 a total of 3356 specimens of Anthicidae from the UK and Ireland were examined by the author, mainly from the collections of The Natural History Museum (London), Oxford University Museum of Natural History and National Museum of Ireland. Additional data for more than 2100 specimens were received from other British museums and private collections between 2005 and 2007. A new key and short diagnoses for the genera are presented, as well as data on habitats and general distribution of species.

  • Beyond the Compact City: a London Case Study – Spatial Impacts, Social Polarisation, Sustainable 1 Development and Social Justice
    University of Westminster Duncan Bowie January 2017 Reflections, Issue 19 BEYOND THE COMPACT CITY: A LONDON CASE STUDY – SPATIAL IMPACTS, SOCIAL POLARISATION, SUSTAINABLE 1 DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIAL JUSTICE Duncan Bowie Senior Lecturer, Department of Planning and Transport, University of Westminster [email protected] Abstract: Many urbanists argue that the compact city approach to development of megacities is preferable to urban growth based on spatial expansion at low densities, which is generally given the negative description of ‘urban sprawl’. The argument is often pursued on economic grounds, supported by theories of agglomeration economics, and on environmental grounds, based on assumptions as to efficient land use, countryside preservation and reductions in transport costs, congestion and emissions. Using London as a case study, this paper critiques the continuing focus on higher density and hyper-density residential development in the city, and argues that development options beyond its core should be given more consideration. It critiques the compact city assumptions incorporated in strategic planning in London from the first London Plan of 2004, and examines how the both the plan and its implementation have failed to deliver the housing needed by Londoners and has led to the displacement of lower income households and an increase in spatial social polarisation. It reviews the alternative development options and argues that the social implications of alternative forms of growth and the role of planning in delivering spatial social justice need to be given much fuller consideration, in both planning policy and the delivery of development, if growth is to be sustainable in social terms and further spatial polarisation is to be avoided.

In 1970 the shingle beach, now owned by the Environment Agency, was declared a Local Nature Reserve (LNR) by the County Council, who also appointed a Management Committee to administer the LNR. This was the beginning of Rye Harbour Local Nature Reserve. Since then further land has been added by agreement with neighbouring landowners and the County Council and by purchase of land by the Sussex Wildlife Trust with the help of the Friends of Rye Harbour Nature Reserve. It is hoped that further areas of the SSSI will become part of the Nature Reserve and so this report covers the whole area. The present extent of Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, some 326ha, includes the seaward shingle ridges extending inland to, and including, the gravel pit known as Ternery Pool and the nearby excavation known as the Quarry (Beach Reserve), a large gravel pit (Castle Water), a large area of meadow land and shingle ridges around Camber Castle (Castle Farm) and a small area of saltmarsh fringing the western bank of the River Rother between Rye Harbour and the river mouth.

  • The Compelling Case for Change
    THE COMPELLING CASE FOR CHANGE The new Kent and Medway Local Enterprise Partnership July 2015 1 2 This document sets out a compelling case to change the geography of the South East Local Enterprise Partnership. It proposes the establishment of a new Kent and Medway LEP – one which is highly relevant to business and which builds on a cohesive economic geography, a deep understanding of our economic challenges and opportunities and an excellent partnership between business and government. Our new Partnership will deliver faster and better for Kent and Medway and for the UK. This document sets out how we will build a new approach to delivering the skills, the infrastructure and the innovation for a highly productive economy – and how we will work together strategically and with strong governance across the county to deliver long term growth. The existing South East LEP slows down the delivery of our ambitions. We will be more focused and more effective through a Kent and Medway Local Enterprise Partnership. But we are committed to working together with our neighbours in Essex, East Sussex and London. We are working with our partners to ensure a smooth transition from the South East LEP to better arrangements. It’s time for change. We have a compelling case for a better future. We ask Government to back our proposals. 3 1. INTRODUCTION This document sets out the compelling case to change the geography of the South East Local Enterprise Partnership. It proposes the establishment of a new Kent and Medway LEP which is highly relevant to business and will be effective in delivering growth.

  • UK Biodiversity Action Plan Priority Moths
    A Summary of the New UK Biodiversity Action Plan Priority Moths Introduction The following species have been published as new UK BAP Priority Species (see the Species and Habitat Review 2007 on www.ukbap.org.uk ). The purpose of this document is to provide a brief overview of the status and ecology (where known), as well as identifying initial conservation priorities, although some actions are already underway for some of these species. 71 Stigmella zelleriella Ecology The larva mines the leaves of Creeping Willow on coastal sandhills during July and again in September – October. The mine is a gallery which follows the leaf margin before widening to a small blotch. It can be confused with that of S. salicis . Past Distribution Only known in the UK from Sandwich Bay, Kent and an unconfirmed record from Lindisfarne, Northumberland. Current Distribution Reported from Lindisfarne in 1997. May still occur at Sandwich Bay but confirmation is needed. Initial Conservation Priorities - determine status, size of population, area of available habitat and threats at Lindisfarne - establish current status at Sandwich Bay - if still present at Sandwich Bay, liase with land owner over management to increase foodplant resource - raise profile to encourage survey at suitable sites on east coast of England 133 Lampronia capitella Ecology The larvae feed on the seeds of currant and Wild Gooseberry. Tenanted fruits appear prematurely ripe. In the following spring it feeds in a bud, usually causing the death of the developing shoot. The adult flies in late May and June. It is found in gardens and also woodlands where the foodplants occur.
