[This is an update to the article written in February 2014]. The presence of the Mountain Ringlet (Erebia epiphron) in Ireland has been a topic of much interest to Lepidopterists for decades, partly because of the small number of specimens that are reputedly Irish. The Irish Mountain Ringlet is truly the stuff of legend and many articles have been written over the years, including the excellent summary by Chalmers-Hunt (1982). The purpose of this article is to examine all relevant literature and, in particular, the various points of view that have been expressed over the years. This article also includes images of all four surviving specimens that can lay claim to Irish provenance and some of the sites mentioned in conjunction with these specimens are shown in Figure 1.

Populations are typically fragmented, restricted to high altitudes in one or several mountain ranges, where habitat is relatively well preserved, but where the effects of climate change are considerable. As a result, the genus Erebia has become a model to study the impact of climate changes, past and present, on intraspecific genetic diversity. In this study, we inferred phylogenetic relationships among populations of the European species Erebia epiphron and Erebia orientalis using mitochondrial (COI) and nuclear markers (ITS2, wg and RPS5), and reconstructed their phylogeographical history. We confirm E. orientalis and E. epiphron as a relatively young species pair that split c.

Creag Meagaidh is a complex massif, with numerous mountain tops and an extensive high summit plateau edged by a dramatic series of ice-carved corries and gullies. The Reserve extends from the highest of the mountain tops to the shores of Loch Laggan. The plateau is carpeted in moss-heath and is an important breeding ground for dotterel. The corries support unusual artic- alpine plants and the lower slopes have scattered patches of ancient woodland dominated by birch. Located 45 kilometres (km) northeast of Fort William and covering nearly 4,000 hectares (ha), the Reserve is owned and managed by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). Creag Meagaidh has been a NNR since 1986 and during the last twenty years SNH has worked to restore natural habitats, particularly woodland, on the Reserve. Like much of the Highlands, the vegetation has been heavily grazed for centuries, so it was decided to reduce the number of grazing animals by removing sheep and culling red deer. The aim was not to eliminate grazing animals altogether, but to keep numbers at a level that allowed the habitats, especially the woodland, to recover.

(= Alt- vatergebirge; Czech Republic) are presented. Immature stages of E. sudetica are described here for the first time. Both species have been reared to maturity from eggs laid by females caught in the wild. Out of accord with hitherto attainments, both species preferred Festuca supina as the main host plant (in choice experiments, E. epiphron preferred Avenella flexuosa). In rearing experiments, the species overwintered only once and finished their development within a one-year period. Highest mortality of individuals appeared during overwintering of L2- [E. sudetica) and L3-larvae (E epiphron). Introduction Five species of the species-rich holarctic genus Erebia Dalman, 1816, which is renown for high diversity in alpine and arctic habitats, frequent endemism and subspecific differentiation (Warren, 1936), occur in the HrubyJesenik Mts.

Verovnik & V. Svara Abstract Nearly five decades have passed since the last confirmed occurrence of the Southern Swallowtail ( Papilio alexanor Esper, 1799) in Croatia. The species was not observed at any of the historical sites, but we found it at seven new sites between Split and the region south of the Neretva River. The habitat is very restricted and characterised by steep limestone rock faces with abundance of the larval host plant Opopanax chironium (L.) Koch. Due to severe fragmentation and continuing decline inferred from extinction of the species in historically known locations we consider the species as vulnerable (VU) in Croatia according to IUCN criteria.

  • The Effects of Winter Recreation on Alpine and Subalpine Fauna: a Systematic Review and Meta- Analysis
    The Effects of Winter Recreation on Alpine and Subalpine Fauna: A Systematic Review and Meta- Analysis Chloe F. Sato1*, Jeff T. Wood1, David B. Lindenmayer1,2 1 Fenner School of Environment and Society, The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia, 2 ARC Centre of Excellence for Environmental Decisions, The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia Abstract The ski industry is often perceived as having a negative impact on sensitive alpine and subalpine communities. However, empirical evidence of such impacts is lacking. We reviewed the available literature from the last 35 years to quantify the reported effects of winter recreation on faunal communities. Overall, using one-sample binomial tests (‘sign tests’) we found that the effects of all types of winter recreation-related disturbances (i.e. ski runs, resort infrastructure and winter tourism) were more likely to be negative or have no effect, than be positive for wildlife. More specifically, in Europe, where the majority of the available research was conducted, the impacts of winter recreation were most often negative for fauna. In terms of specific taxa, birds and to a lesser extent mammals and arthropods, responded negatively to disturbance. Results from our meta-analysis confirmed the results from our binomial tests. Richness, abundance and diversity of fauna were lower in areas affected by winter recreation when compared with undisturbed areas. For most regions and taxa, however, empirical evidence remains too limited to identify clear impacts of winter recreation. We therefore conclude that the majority of ski resorts are operating in the absence of knowledge needed to inform effective strategies for biodiversity conservation and ecologically-sound management.

Large areas of natural primeval ecosystems have been transformed, over hundreds or even thousands of years, into monocultu- res or have been covered with stone, concrete or asphalt. A rieh autochtonic lepidopterofauna consequently perished and was replaced by a few species of particular adaptive abilities (Dabrowski, 1977). The unceasing increase in the application of new chemicals for plant protection and as fertilizers, and of industrial wastes etc. not only pollutes the environment in the neighbourhood of the source, but also contributes actively to the general degradation of the nature reserves, national parks and other unspoilt areas of Europe, which form a very poor network as it is. The explosion of mass tourism and the pressure from inhabitants of urbanised and industrialized agglomerations searching for new recreatio- nal areas do not promise well for the maintenance of these areas, especially those that are too small and have no effective protective zones (Dabrowski, 1979). In Europe, economic and consumptive interests are of an absolute priority while the protection of our natural environment, even with the support of the greatest scientific authorities, remains a losing battle. The problems of protecting small and insignificant species such as butterflies, are especially difficult. It is practically impossible to count on the understanding of private owners or institutions and to stop them going ahead with even small economic projects in favour of saving a butterfly population (A lberti, 1979).
