Abstract Wild-living honey bee ( Apis mellifera ) colonies naturally nest in old cavity-bearing trees throughout their range, but this important nesting habitat is in global decline. Here we determine the use of ancient, veteran and other listed trees as nest sites by wild-living honey bee colonies in Britain and investigate the effect of tree size, genus and management on occupancy. Over 1,000 trees of special interest (TSIs) were surveyed in southeast England using the Ancient Tree Inventory (ATI) of the Woodland Trust, a charity that protects and promotes trees in Britain. 2% of all TSIs and 4.4% of TSIs with cavities were occupied by wild-living honey bee colonies (n = 21). Occupancy positively correlated with tree diameter, which is surprising given that the overall sample already had a large mean diameter of 1.3 m. Wild-living colonies occupied sweet chestnut ( Castanea sativa ) more frequently than expected (7% versus 2% overall), probably due to their large mean diameter (1.6 m) and proportion of trees with cavities (73%). Heights of occupied tree cavities (including non-ATI trees) ranged from 0 to 18.2 m with a median of 6.8 m, entrance size ranged from 2.2 to 322 cm 2 with a median of 33.8 cm 2 and entrance orientation was not significantly different from random.
野生蜜蜂(Apis mellifera)自然地在其活动范围内的老树上筑巢，但这一重要的筑巢栖息地正在全球范围内减少。在这里，我们确定了英国野生蜜蜂群落使用古树、老树和其他列出的树木作为筑巢地点，并调查了树木大小、属和管理对占用的影响。使用林地信托基金会(一个保护和促进英国树木的慈善机构)的古树清单(ATI)对英格兰东南部的1000多棵特殊利益树(tsi)进行了调查。2%的tsi和4.4%的tsi有蛀牙，被野生蜜蜂占据。占用率与树径正相关，这是令人惊讶的，因为整个样本的平均直径已经达到1.3 m。野生栖息地占据甜栗树(Castanea sativa)的频率比预期的要高(7%对2%)，可能是由于它们的平均直径大(1.6 m)和树腔比例(73%)。被占用的树洞(包括非ati树)高度范围为0 ~ 18.2 m，中位数为6.8 m，入口大小范围为2.2 ~ 322 cm 2，中位数为33.8 cm 2，入口朝向与随机无显著差异。

Abstract The cultivation of peat mosses (‘ Sphagnum farming’) is a new wet and climate-friendly agricultural use of degraded bog sites. However, it is largely unknown to what extent these surrogate habitats are used by bog fauna. This study investigated the potential of Sphagnum cultivation sites as surrogate habitats for beetles and evaluated the relationship between the vegetation structure and the occurrence of beetle species. In 2017 and 2018, comparative surveys were carried out at different sub-areas of two Sphagnum cultivation sites and one near-natural bog. Beetles living in and on the upper Sphagnum layer were studied by manually extracting quadrat samples. Vegetation surveys were conducted in the same quadrats to analyze the occurrence of beetle species based on vegetation parameters. We collected 926 individuals of beetles belonging to 89 species out of 17 families. At the different sections of the cultivation sites, 8–16 bog-typical beetle species were found, while at the sub-areas of the near-natural bog, there were 15 and 19 bog-typical species, respectively. The statistical analyses showed that vegetation structure influenced the numbers of beetle species and individuals at both the cultivation and near-natural sites. Implications for insect conservation A dense and high Sphagnum carpet is a fundamental habitat structure for the beetle fauna of cultivation sites, while vascular plants initially help to create habitat structures on bare peat. Conversely, if the vascular plants overgrow and shade the Sphagnum , this can have a negative effect on bog-typical beetle species, as shown at the near-natural site.

Abstract Introduction Knowledge on the mobility of threatened species is a clue to understanding population dynamics and is needed to develop appropriate conservation strategies. Here, we investigate movement patterns of the Bei-Bienko’s Plump Bush-cricket ( Isophya beybienkoi ), an example of a flightless and critically endangered species endemic to the Slovak Karst (southern Slovakia, Central Europe). The capture-mark-recapture method was used to estimate the mobility of the species using fluorescent dye as a marking medium. We found that the mean (± SD) daily distance travelled by this species was only 3.2 ± 2.6 m, with significant differences between males (4.1 ± 3.0 m) and females (2.7 ± 2.1 m). Our results indicate that I. beybienkoi is a short-distance disperser. Males disappeared faster than females from the study plots (at maximum, two females were recaptured even after 41 days). The observed movement patterns suggest that the most urgent conservation measure for this species is to improve the habitat quality of sites, which suffer from overgrowth, and to maintain the quality of other suitable sites that might increase the size of the existing subpopulations. Implications for insect conservation Our results show that I. beybienkoi is a short-distance disperser and wanders only within its optimal habitat. Hence, to incorporate movement behaviour into conservation, one of the measures that should mitigate this threat is to preserve or improve the quality of habitats that suffer from overgrowth, in order to increase the size of existing subpopulations. The observed movement patterns suggest that the species is probably incapable of responding to changes in the availability of suitable habitats by dispersing, indicating a limited exchange of individuals between isolated populations. Thus, to enhance structurally diverse mosaic of high-quality habitats, restoration of migration corridors former used as movement corridors for grazing animals may support the dispersal of the threatened bush-cricket.

Abstract Photinus signaticollis Blanchard, 1846 (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) is a firefly native to South America and recently established in Europe. Since 2016, this firefly has colonized the northeastern part of the Iberian Peninsula and crossed the Pyrenees to reach southern France in 2019. The larvae of this firefly feed on earthworms, so a high density of this species could negatively impact this key group in soil processes and agriculture. The precise extent of colonization, the environmental niche and the potential range expansion in non-native areas are currently unknown. Using species distribution models, we have found the high suitability areas across Europe where P. signaticollis may become established if introduced. Interestingly, using only South American records and associated conditions modelling it can be strongly predicted where the species is currently found in Europe. Despite a few propagules of P. signaticollis detected in very unsuitable areas of Spain were no longer detected after their initial observation, the climatic niche overlap between South America and Europe populations appeared to be very low. In our case, this pattern is more likely to reflect a high unfilled niche rather than a niche expansion or niche shift, because many occupied areas in South America possess a climate not occurring in Europe. Among the considered variables, we furthermore found that only the temperature seasonality appeared to be the same in both native and European areas and relevant in the models, suggesting that it may represent the main limiting factor for establishing this firefly.
