Scottish Borders Newsletter Autumn 2018 Borders Newsletter Issue 21 Autumn 2018 http://eastscotland-butterflies.org.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/EastScotlandButterflyConservation https://www.facebook.com/groups/eastscottishmoths/ Discoveries Welcome to this last issue in its current format of our newsletter for Most people with an interest in the natural world like to make discoveries Butterfly Conservation members and and there are three main ways in which this can happen. I am deliberately many other people living in the stealing this theme from one of the scientific magazines which I receive, but Scottish Borders and further afield. I think it’s all quite relevant to our activities. Please forward it to others who have an interest in butterflies & moths and who might like to read it and be kept in Firstly - sheer inspiration – those among us who are fortunate to be very touch with our activities. knowledgeable about butterflies and moths can work out where to look and Barry Prater make discoveries and, while we might marvel at their findings, we shouldn’t [email protected] be that surprised or feel inadequate because of them. Tel 018907 52037 Then – brute-force-recording – just spending a lot of time in the field with no specific aims except to find out what’s there and maybe, just maybe, getting lucky with a good discovery. This is often my approach, although I like to think it is a little bit more organised. Contents Thirdly there is - serendipity or sheer accident – but this is not always what it seems. Why is it that some people get lots of good or interesting Some of the Highlights from 2018 sightings while the rest of us plod on? I think this comes down to field skills Scotland’s Newest Breeding Butterfly and particularly being constantly vigilant for what might be around in any takes flight in 2018…….….

I’m extremely grateful to the many people who have contributed news and articles with little persuasion from me. So far, I have failed to persuade anyone to take on the role but if there is someone out there who is interested do get in touch with me. Although I have done it ‘my way’ it could morph into many other formats – maybe a regular blog or a YouTube performance featuring real Lepidoptera in real habitats. The opportunities are there.

Some of the Butterfly and Moth Highlights from 2018 Even before we have many records in from all the Borders observers, it’s clear that it’s been a marvellous year for both butterflies and moths. The vice counties referred to are VC78 (Peeblesshire), VC79 (Selkirkshire), VC80 (Roxburghshire) and VC81 (Berwickshire). Butterflies Clouded Yellow – brief sighting of one flying north at Burnmouth on 14 May (Iain Cowe) Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary – one new site found at Pickie Moss in Berwickshire (Barry Prater). Green Hairstreak – found at two new sites in Peeblesshire (Reuben Singleton). White-letter Hairstreak – confirmed breeding with adults at several sites – see next article for the story. Small Blue – the various coastal sites have done well with record numbers counted and successful field trips led by Iain Cowe have shown many people this species. Small Blue – first of the year (IC) Holly Blue (RC) Holly Blue – one at Coldingham Sands on 15 August (Robin Cowe). Northern Brown Argus – plenty of records as part of the Borders-wide survey started this year. Again, see later article for more details. A thriving new colony was discovered on the Lyne Water during a field trip there (Reuben Singleton). Moth Events Some very successful and well-attended moth evenings were held this summer. Malcolm Lindsay arranged an outing for the local SWT group to the Chisholme Estate (near Roberton to the west of Hawick) on 7 July, which gave a good moths list (54 species) with many eye-catching moths for the 30 or so who came in the morning to see the results. There was great hospitality from the Chisholme Institute who provided a very comfortable bedroom for the overnight moth-trapper as well as afternoon tea to close the event! Moths at Chisholme and enthusiastic attendees (MKL) We participated in Chris Packham’s UK Bioblitz when he and his team visited St Abbs, recording both moths and butterflies and added two new macromoths (Pinion-streaked Snout and Pimpinel Pug) to the species list for this very well-recorded site. A moth evening and morning led by Reuben Singleton over 20-21 August in the Manor Valley (SW of Peebles) was also very successful, with over 20 attendees. Macromoths Large Red-belted Clearwing - following his discovery of pupal cases back in 2013, David Long continues to manage his woodland at Spottiswoode for this species by cutting birches, leaving suitable stumps for egg-laying. He also monitors the site closely. In 2017 he saw the first adult moths, including egg-laying females, and this year there was even more success. A total of 82 pupal cases was counted and good numbers of adults seen. Freshly-emerged Large Red-belted Clearwing and its pupal case (BP) and another of the moths in perfect condition (DL) Scalloped Hook-tip – first VC78 record (John Woolliams) Pebble Hook-tip – first VC78 record since 1976 (Reuben Singleton) Emperor Moth - a really excellent walk on 12 May, led by Iain Cowe at Gordon Community Woodland when, in near- perfect weather a turnout of 19 witnessed male Emperors attracted with pheromone lures. Red Carpet – recorded twice in the Lammermuirs, the first VC81 records since 1988 (Barry Prater). Beech-green Carpet – unusual record from a Selkirk garden on 3 August (Douglas Methven). Scarce Tissue – one found unexpectedly indoors at Chirnside in mid-May, the first VC81 record since 1964 (Iain Cowe). Scarce Tissue (IC) Tissue and the summit of Dunside Hill where it was found (BP) Tissue – research by Katty Baird into the hibernation and mating behaviour of this moth is continuing. There were several unexpected records – one attracted to a porch in Peebles on 16 August, the first for VC78 (Reuben Singleton), one found beneath a Sallow on19 April, the first for VC80 (Teyl de Bordes) and one attracted to a light trap on the summit of Dunside Hill (440m elevation) on 19 August (Barry Prater). Blue-bordered Carpet – recorded for only the second time in VC78, the previous record being in 1977 (Reuben Singleton). Thyme Pug – recorded new for VC79 in June (Teyl de Bordes). Ochreous Pug – first record for VC78 (Reuben Singleton). Triple-spotted Pug – three trapped at Coldingham in late July; new for VC81 (David Bryant). Orange Underwing – two seen by the edge of woodland near Jedburgh on 6 April; second site in VC80 and third for the Borders (Reuben Singleton). V-Moth – apart from one record in 2004, a record from Broughton by the Tweed in late July (VC78) is the first Borders sighting since 1988 of a species which has become extremely scarce nationally (Reuben Singleton). Speckled Yellow – two sightings at Cademuir, near Peebles and Craig Head at Stanhope in late May are the first for VC78 (John Woolliams, Alison McArthur and Malcolm Lindsay). The previous four Borders V-moth (RS) Speckled Yellow (MKL) records have been in south Roxburghshire. September Thorn - first record for VC79 on 17 August (Teyl de Bordes). Pinion-streaked Snout – a new species for VC81 recorded at two sites 14 – 25 July (Barry Prater and David Bryant). Copper Underwing – first record for VC81 was one trapped at Lurgie Loch on 12 August (Barry Prater). Clouded Brindle – first record for VC79 on 29 June (Malcolm Lindsay). Northern Arches – previously only known from one site in VC81 this moth was found on three more hills in the Lammermuirs between 30 July and 19 August (Barry Prater). Northern Arches (BP) Northern Deep-brown Darts with sallow species (TdeB) Northern Deep-brown Dart – usually recorded singly, four were found at the Douglas Burn site in VC79, making this the highest number recorded at a site in the Borders since 1956 (Teyl de Bordes).

Reports are produced annually on a rolling program. Earlier rounds of review and assessment have shown that the main industrial pollutants are unlikely to exceed the UK Air Quality Objectives at any location within the Council’s area. And that only NO2 from road traffic and PM10 from domestic fuel consumption still required to be considered. A Detailed Assessment of PM10 levels was subsequently undertaken at a location agreed with the Scottish Government and Scottish Environmental Protection Agency as a worst possible case. This work has shown that no part of the Councils area was at risk of exceeding the Air Quality Objective for PM10. As part of the air quality monitoring programme, the Council monitored nitrogen dioxide (NO2) using diffusion tubes at 19 different locations. The monitoring of NO2 has shown no exceedences of the NO2 Objectives, with levels on average decreasing annually. In 2010 the number of sites was reduced to 14 with the background sites at Peebles, Kelso and Melrose being discontinued.

DESCRIPTION Allanton is located just over 7 miles from Duns and just under 10 miles from Berwick-upon-Tweed. The population of Allanton in the 2001 Census was 86. The village is located within the Eastern Strategic Development Area (SDA) as defined by the SESplan. PLACE MAKING CONSIDERATIONS Allanton is located above the riverbanks of the Blackadder Water and Whiteadder Water which meet just north of the village. The character of Allanton is largely defined by the fact that it developed as an estate village of Blackadder House; splay fronted lodges display the old entrance and the village has developed around them in a linear fashion along the road.

  • Settlement Profile Jedburgh
    SETTLEMENT PROFILE JEDBURGH HOUSING MARKET AREA LOCALITY POPULATION Central Cheviot 4,030 PLACEMAKING CONSIDERATIONS The historic settlement of Jedburgh was built either side of the Jed Water which runs on a north-south axis, and is framed by Lanton Hill (280 metres) and Black Law (338 metres) to the west and south west and by lower more undulating hills to the east. The Conservation Area of Jedburgh includes much of the historic core of the town including the Abbey and the Castle Gaol. Similar to Edinburgh Old Town in its layout, Jedburgh has a long street that rises terminating with the castle at the highest point. The High Street is characterised by a mix of commercial, residential and social facilities, the central area is focused around where the Mercat Cross once sat with roads leading off in various directions. Properties within the Conservation Area are built in rows with some detached properties particularly along Friarsgate. Ranging from two to three and a half storeys in height, properties vary in styles. Although the elements highlighted above are important and contribute greatly to the character of Jedburgh they do not do so in isolation. Building materials and architectural details are also just as important. Sandstone, some whinstone, harling, and slate all help to form the character. Architectural details such as sash and case windows (though there are some unfortunate uPVC replacements), rybats, margins, detailed door heads above some entrances and in some instances pilasters all add to the sense of place. Any new development must therefore aim to contribute to the existing character of the Conservation Area.

  • Two Cryptic Species of Lotus (Fabaceae) from the Iberian Peninsula 21-45 Wulfenia 27 (2020): 21– 45 Mitteilungen Des Kärntner Botanikzentrums Klagenfurt
    ZOBODAT - www.zobodat.at Zoologisch-Botanische Datenbank/Zoological-Botanical Database Digitale Literatur/Digital Literature Zeitschrift/Journal: Wulfenia Jahr/Year: 2020 Band/Volume: 27 Autor(en)/Author(s): Kramina Tatiana E., Samigullin Tahir H., Meschersky Ilya G. Artikel/Article: Two cryptic species of Lotus (Fabaceae) from the Iberian Peninsula 21-45 Wulfenia 27 (2020): 21– 45 Mitteilungen des Kärntner Botanikzentrums Klagenfurt Two cryptic species of Lotus (Fabaceae) from the Iberian Peninsula Tatiana E. Kramina, Tahir H. Samigullin & Ilya G. Meschersky Summary: The problem of cryptic species is well known in taxonomy of different groups of organisms, including plants, and their recognition can contribute to the assessment of global biodiversity and the development of conservation methods. Analyses of Lotus glareosus and related taxa from the Iberian Peninsula based on various types of data (i.e. sequences of nuclear ribosomal ITS-1-2, 5’ETS and cpDNA trnL-F, seven loci of nuclear microsatellites) revealed that the material earlier determined as ‘L. glareosus’ is subdivided into two genetically distant groups: L. carpetanus, related to L. conimbricensis, and L. glareosus, included in the L. corniculatus complex. Though only slight morphological distinctions were found between them, significant genetic differences comparable to those between sections of the genus Lotus (p-distance 0.07– 0.08 in ITS, 0.060 – 0.067 in ETS and 0.010 – 0.013 in trnL-F; substitution number 43 – 47 bp in ITS, 22–24 bp in ETS and 12–14 bp in trnL-F) and no evidence of genetic exchange suggest that these groups may represent two deeply diverged lineages that should be treated as two separate species.

  • 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.
