“…W. Eglin. 1 , Val Müstair, Buffalora, 2080-2100 Empria fletcheri has previously been found locally, usually in small numbers, in northern Europe, particularly Fennoscandia, but also in Estonia (Prous 2012) and the Scottish Highlands, where the type locality is located (Liston et al 2012b) Correctly, in our opinion, Lacourt (2020a, b) gave the (European) distribution of E. fletcheri as only "Northern Europe". However, published records under this species name do exist for Central Europe: Firstly, Weiffenbach (1985) recorded an unspecified number of specimens of unspecified sex under the name E. fletscheri (misspelling) from Germany, "Ilbeshausen und Schmelztal b. Gießen im 5 [in May]".…”

Bruno Peter-Sager (1943–2018) was a Swiss entomologist who collected and studied sawflies, and published on these under the name Bruno Peter. His large collection is deposited in the Senckenberg Deutsches Entomologisches Institut, Müncheberg, Germany. Following a short biography, we present commentaries on noteworthy specimens from Switzerland and some general and specific characteristics of the Swiss sawfly fauna, based on his collection and database. Twenty sawfly species are recorded for the first time in Switzerland: Aprosthema bifurca, Arge fuscipennis, Cladardis hartigi, Dolerus altivolus, D. brevicornis, D. zhelochovtsevi, Empria fletcheri, Euura amentorum, E. cyrnea, E. longiserra, E. scotonota, Nescianeura noblecourti, Pristiphora depressa, P. luteipes, P. nigricans, Rhogogaster polaris, Taxonus alboscutellatus, Tenthredo semicolon, Tenthredopsis tischbeinii and Calameuta idolon. Three species are removed from the national list: Cladardis bordonii, Taxonus sticticus and Tomostethus melanopygius. Records from Switzerland of seven little-known or rarely recorded species are also discussed. Data for most specimens collected by B. Peter include altitude, enabling presentation of results of some analyses of species richness related to altitude, as well as examples of patterns of altitudinal abundance for selected species.

“…In view of the significance of records from Central Europe, their penis valves should be examined. The differences between the penis valves of E. fletcheri and E. immersa (Klug, 1818), the species with which it is most likely to be mixed up, were illustrated in Liston et al (2012b). One male specimen recorded in the B.…”

“…The structural variability of treeline habitats offers a range of ecological niches for numerous pollinators and generalist insects groups, including diptera, beetles, lepidoptera, and bumblebees (Scottish Montane Willow Research Group 2005). Populations of specialist phytophagous taxa and locally endemic invertebrates are also sustained, often through host‐specific relationships with individual tree species, particularly montane willows (Pryke & Samways 2010; Liston et al 2012). The high diversity of fungi, plants, and invertebrates in mountain woodland subsequently provides opportunities for mycophagous, herbivorous, and insectivorous small mammals, as well as predators higher up the food chain including raptors (Scott 2000; Schickmann et al 2012).…”

How do field margins contribute to the functional connectivity of insect-pollinated plants?

International audienceHabitat fragmentation generates a loss of functional connectivity detrimental to the persistence of biodiversity. The French agricultural intensification initiated in the 1950s has caused a decline in field margins. As field margins may facilitate species dispersal while providing socio-economic benefits, it is of interest to assess their contribution to the functional connectivity of insect-pollinated plants in agro-ecosystems. This will help develop appropriate management strategies mitigating fragmentation. We addressed this issue by studying the links between landscape structure and the patterns of abundance and pollen dispersal (using fluorescent dye particles) for two contrasted insect-pollinated plants occurring in field margins (Crepis sancta and Euphorbia serrata). We investigated the influence of field margins quality and of the surrounding matrix on pollen dispersal and compared the relevance of the least-cost algorithm with a straight-line approach to depict pollinators' movements. The influence of landscape structure on plant abundance is species and scale-specific. Pollen dispersal decreases with distance from the source. For E. serrata, it was preferentially dispersed via field margins, confirming the relevance of the least-cost algorithm, while C. sancta dispersal followed a straight-line. Euphorbia serrata, which grows strictly on field margins with a greater dispersal ability and a more diversified pollinator guild than C. sancta, is less affected by land-use changes. Our study demonstrates the contrasting contributions of field margins to pollen dispersal as they may act as functional corridors favouring pollinators' movement depending on the species of interest
