Cold-adapted species are expected to have reached their largest distribution range during a part of the Ice Ages whereas postglacial warming has led to their range contracting toward high-latitude and high-altitude areas. This has resulted in an extant allopatric distribution of populations and possibly to trait differentiations (selected or not) or even speciation. Assessing inter-refugium differentiation or speciation remains challenging for such organisms because of sampling difficulties (several allopatric populations) and disagreements on species concept. In the present study, we assessed postglacial inter-refugia differentiation and potential speciation among populations of one of the most common arcto-alpine bumblebee species in European mountains, Bombus monticola Smith, 1849.

  • Iconic Bees: 12 Reports on UK Bee Species
    Iconic Bees: 12 reports on UK bee species Bees are vital to the ecology of the UK and provide significant social and economic benefits through crop pollination and maintaining the character of the landscape. Recent years have seen substantial declines in many species of bees within the UK. This report takes a closer look at how 12 ‘iconic’ bee species are faring in each English region, as well as Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. Authors Rebecca L. Evans and Simon G. Potts, University of Reading. Photo: © Amelia Collins Contents 1 Summary 2 East England Sea-aster Mining Bee 6 East Midlands Large Garden Bumblebee 10 London Buff-tailed Bumblebee 14 North East Bilberry Bumblebee 18 North West Wall Mason Bee 22 Northern Ireland Northern Colletes 26 Scotland Great Yellow Bumblebee 30 South East England Potter Flower Bee 34 South West England Scabious Bee 38 Wales Large Mason Bee 42 West Midlands Long-horned Bee 46 Yorkshire Tormentil Mining Bee Through collating information on the 12 iconic bee species, common themes have Summary emerged on the causes of decline, and the actions that can be taken to help reverse it. The most pervasive causes of bee species decline are to be found in the way our countryside has changed in the past 60 years. Intensification of grazing regimes, an increase in pesticide use, loss of biodiverse field margins and hedgerows, the trend towards sterile monoculture, insensitive development and the sprawl of towns and cities are the main factors in this. I agree with the need for a comprehensive Bee Action Plan led by the UK Government in order to counteract these causes of decline, as called for by Friends of the Earth.

  • Xestia Sextrigata (Haworth, 1809) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) a New Species Expanding Into Romania
    Entomologica romanica 24: 37-40, 2020 ISSN 2601-7105 online / ISSN 1224-2594 print / doi: 10.24193/entomolrom.24.6 Xestia sextrigata (Haworth, 1809) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) a new species expanding into Romania László Rákosy & Demetra Rákosy Summary: Records from Austria, Hungary, Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova collected in the last 30 years suggest that Xestia sextrigata (Haworth, 1809) is extending its range towards South-Eastern Europe. Here we report the first genuine record of X. sextrigata from Romania. Older records from the literature are shown to be erroneous. Rezumat: Pe baza datelor de colectare din ultimii 30 de ani din Austria, Ungaria, România, Ucraina și Republica Moldova, Xestia sextrigata (Haworth, 1809) este considerată o specie expansionistă cu tendințe de lărgire a arealului spre sud-estul Europei. X. sextrigata este pentru prima dată menționată cu certitudine din România. Datele mai vechi din literatură sunt considerate eronate. Key words: Xestia sextrigata, Romania, Europe, distribution, expansion. Introduction of noctuids led to their article and the mention of X. sextrigata to be ignored by specialists. However, Xestia sextrigata (Haworth, 1809) has so their collection (stored under the name „M. Peiu”) far been mentioned two times from the fauna of still exists and is deposited at the Natural History Romania. In the Catalogue of Romanian Lepidoptera (Rákosy et al. 2003) the species is, however, listed under „excluded taxa”, as the existing records were considered unreliable. The first record stems from Săcărâmb (Transilvania) (Fuss 1850) and should have been part of the Franzenau collection under the name X. umbrosa Hübner, 1790. The collection is deposited at the Zoological Museum of the Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj, the presence of the voucher specimen of Xestia sextrigata was thus easily checked.

  • The Moth Pollinators of Greater Butterfly Orchids Platanthera
    JOURNAL of the HARDY ORCHID SOCIETY Vol. 11 No. 1 (71) January 2014 The Moth Pollinators of Greater Butterfly Orchids Platanthera chlorantha in Central Scotland Roy Sexton With essential help from the following moth recorders: Stuart Bence, Claire Bird, Lorna Blackmore, Tim Brain, Michael Christie, Jennifer Davidson, Bob Dawson, John Knowler, Barbara Macritchie, John Oates, Tony Rogers, Melissa Shaw. In his book ‘T he Various Contrivances by which Orchids are Fertilised by Insects ’ Charles Darwin (1862; 1877) speculated that the Greater Butterfly Orchid (GBO) was pollinated by large night-flying moths. He based his proposal on the following observations: i) the flowers were white and so would show up at night ii) the floral scent to attract pollinators was produced nocturnally iii) the sugary nectar to reward insect visitors was found at the end of a 26mm long conical nectary or spur. This could only be reached by insects with long tongues like butterflies or moths. Careful examination of the structure of the flowers led Darwin to propose that when moths drank nectar the club-shaped masses of pollen positioned either side of the spur entrance became glued to their large com - pound eyes. He speculated that the pollen mass was repositioned as it dried and twist - ed so that it was deposited on the stigmas of the flowers which the moth visited subse - quently. Naturalists soon caught moths with GBO pollen on their eyes consistent with this hypothesis, but it was the meticulous studies of Anders Nilsson (1978) a century later that provided detailed scientific sup - port. It is his Swedish observations that I have attempted to confirm on Scottish plants.

  • Sherwood Forest Lepidoptera Species List
    Sherwood Forest Lepidoptera Historical and modern species lists and records - First Edition 2009 T. and D. Pendleton Introduction to Sherwood Forest Lepidoptera First edition 2009 One aspect of recording which has not changed since the 1800’s, is the lack of attention given by Lepidopterists to the site’s micro lepidoptera. Virtually all This publication is aimed at providing an accurate record of all Sherwood Forest micro records sourced from Carr’s book were attributed to R.E. Brameld, who Lepidoptera recorded from the 1800‘s, the 1900’s, post-2000 records and must have spent many hours in the field recording. Without his work, then much completely up to date with the inclusion of the latest records from 2008 and larger gaps would have appeared in the records. As it is, much work is still follows the same format as we have used in the accompanying publication required to record the many leaf-mining species which Sherwood Forest Sherwood Forest Coleoptera - 2009 Edition. undoubtedly holds. It is by no means a complete list and should not be treated as so, but Recent Lepidoptera surveys and recording represents a hopeful start on the way to producing a definitive Sherwood Forest site list, by trying to gather all available Lepidoptera records in one document. A great deal of moth trapping and recording took place at the Visitor Centre during the 1980’s and has provided some very useful data, which at some time This is the first edition of this project and includes traceable public records in the future, will perhaps be used to enable a comparison with more recent and those held privately by local naturalists and our thanks go to those records and numbers.
