Checklist of British and Irish Hymenoptera - Ichneumonidae https://bdj.pensoft.net/article/9042/ Biodiversity Data Journal 4: e9042

DOI: 10.3897/BDJ.4.e9042

Authors: Gavin Broad

Abstract: The checklist of British and Irish Ichneumonidae is revised, based in large part on the collections of the Natural History Museum, London and the National Museums of Scotland, Edinburgh. Distribution records are provided at the country level.Of the 2,447 species regarded as valid and certainly identified, 214 are here recorded for the first time from the British Isles. Neorhacodinae is considered to be a separate subfamily rather than a synonym of Tersilochinae. Echthrini is treated as a junior synonym of the tribe Cryptini, not Hemigastrini. Echthrus Gravenhorst and Helcostizus Förster are classified in Cryptini rather than, respectively, Hemigastrini and Phygadeuontini.

Checklist of British and Irish Hymenoptera - Chalcidoidea and Mymarommatoidea https://bdj.pensoft.net/article/8013/ Biodiversity Data Journal 4: e8013

DOI: 10.3897/BDJ.4.e8013

Authors: Natalie Dale-Skey, Richard Askew, John Noyes, Laurence Livermore, Gavin Broad

Abstract: Background A revised checklist of the British and Irish Chalcidoidea and Mymarommatoidea substantially updates the previous comprehensive checklist, dating from 1978. Country level data (i.e. occurrence in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the Isle of Man) is reported where known. New information A total of 1754 British and Irish Chalcidoidea species represents a 22% increase on the number of British species known in 1978.

Morphological and Geographical Traits of the British Odonata https://bdj.pensoft.net/article/1041/ Biodiversity Data Journal 2: e1041

DOI: 10.3897/BDJ.2.e1041

Authors: Gary Powney, Stephen Brooks, Louise Barwell, Phil Bowles, Robert Fitt, Alyson Pavitt, Rebecca Spriggs, Nick Isaac

Abstract: Trait data are fundamental for many aspects of ecological research, particularly for modeling species response to environmental change. We synthesised information from the literature (mainly field guides) and direct measurements from museum specimens, providing a comprehensive dataset of 26 attributes, covering the 43 resident species of Odonata in Britain. Traits included in this database range from morphological traits (e.g. body length) to attributes based on the distribution of the species (e.g. climatic restriction). We measured 11 morphometric traits from five adult males and five adult females per species. Using digital callipers, these measurements were taken from dry museum specimens, all of which were wild caught individuals. Repeated measures were also taken to estimate measurement error. The trait data are stored in an online repository (https://github.com/BiologicalRecordsCentre/Odonata_traits), alongside R code designed to give an overview of the morphometric data, and to combine the morphometric data to the single value per trait per species data.

From Corsica to Britain: new outdoor records of Ocnerodrilidae (Annelida: Clitellata) in western Europe https://bdj.pensoft.net/article/985/ Biodiversity Data Journal 1: e985

DOI: 10.3897/BDJ.1.e985

Authors: Emilia Rota

Abstract: The ocnerodrilids Eukerria saltensis (Beddard, 1895) and Ocnerodrilus occidentalis Eisen, 1878 are reported for the first time from outdoor localities above 42° N in Europe. The present new records comprise the first ever from England (River Thames, central London) and from France (River Golo, northern Corsica) and the northernmost occurrences in Italy (Liguria and Veneto). The new latitudinal limits and the numerosity of outdoor records suggest that the current environmental and climate changes are substantially enhancing the dispersal and survival possibilities of these worms, even though different transport vectors seem to be involved for the two species.
