Widespread dredging could make flooding in some communities worse in future – not better – according to a new report published by The Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) and endorsed by the Blueprint for Water coalition of environmental NGOs.
Buglife’s 7 principles and 27 actions to arrest the alarming decline in UK pollinator populations.
Buglife’s suggestions for amendments to Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981: non-native invertebrate species. This report, compiled by Dr Margaret Palmer, focuses specifically on the Leathery Sea-squirt (Styela clava), White River Crayfish (Procambarus acutus), Asian Shore Crab (Hemigrapsus sanguineus), Virile Crayfish (Orconectes virilis), the Asian Clam (Corbicula fluminea) and sub-species of Buff-tailed Bumblebee (Bombus terrestris terrestris) and (Bombus terrestris dalmatinus).

A report discussing the identification of Open Mosaic Habitat on vacant and derelict land in the Inner Forth Area.
A report on the status of threatened bees in the South West region with recommendations for conservation action.
The South West is of national importance for bees, due to the unique conditions resulting from a combination of climate and great diversity of habitats. The region is home to nationally rare and threatened species, and for some, the South West supports a national stronghold or the last known population in the UK.
This review highlights that over a six-year period, over half (51%) of important brownfields within the Thames Gateway had been lost, damaged or were under immediate threat.
This report reviews the available literature on how humans are changing the light environment and the impact that this kind of light pollution has on insects and other invertebrates. The report makes recommendations and identifies several further research areas.

A survey of the periphytic diatoms of selected ditches on the Gwent and Somerset Levels was undertaken in the summer of 2007. Fifty sites were sampled. The majority of diatom species recorded were typical of those commonly found in rivers. Drawing upon indices obtained from river flora, various metrics were derived from species compositional data.
The study was initiated to take forward actions for three flies listed in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP). The stiletto flies Cliorismia rustica and Spiriverpa lunulata (Therevidae) have full plans and the cranefly Rhabdomastix laeta (Limoniidae) has a species statement
(UK Biodiversity Group, 1999a, b). These species, together with several beetles, were added to BAP not only because they are under threat but as flagship species for exposed
riverine sediments (ERS). Buglife therefore took the opportunity to broaden the scope to investigate the wider importance of ERS to flies of other families, especially those of sandy
rivers.
