1 Bringing Bugs back to LIFE: action for threatened invertebrates

2 Michelle Clemens Monitoring of Butterfly species: Citizen science projects

3 Content LIFE Eislek Lycaena helle Monitoring PAST Monitoring PRESENT Monitoring FUTURE CITIZEN SCIENCE

4 LIFE Eislek Restoration of wetlands and associated endangered species LIFE11 NAT/LU/858 Duration: Coordinating beneficiary: natur&ëmwelt Fondation Hëllef fir d Natur Associated beneficiary: CNDS Naturaarbechten & n&ë asbl Co-financier: MDDI-Département de l environnement Additional financial contribution: FGE, RBC, Commune Wincrange Methodological support: Chambre d Agriculture, MNHN, LIST Total budget: ; EU financial contribution: 50%

5 LIFE Eislek Objective of the project: Maintain and restore a mosaic of wetland habitats Hay meadows with delayed cutting regimes Pastures Fallow land Saxicola rubetra Lanius collurio Lycaena helle

6 LIFE Eislek Project actions A Preparatory Actions B Land purchase C Concrete conservation actions C1 Restoration of abandoned wetlands C2 Hydrological restoration measures C3 Conversion of spruce plantations C4 Restoration of bistort meadows C5 Plantations C6 Grazing infrastructures D Monitoring E Awareness raising F Management

7 Lycaena helle Protection status European Red List: EN Habitats Directive: Annex II & IV Luxembourgish law National Nature Protection Plan (PNPN, 2007 & 2017) National species action plan (2013) Prioritised action framework (PAF, 2015)

8 Lycaena helle Photos : Lepiforum Violet Copper: Life cycle caterpillar feeds on Polygonum bistorta < 3 cm Imago feeds on more than 30 species both herbs and scrubs

9 Lycaena helle Habitat and flight period Stadium Jan Feb Mar Apr Mai Jun Jul Aug Sep Okt Nov Dec egg caterpillar Pupa imago

10 Monitoring PAST Lycaena helle & Luxembourg: Beginnings First known occurrence in Steinfort ( ) Rediscovered by Marcel Hellers 1977, Helzen-Kaleburn Beginning of L. helle Monitoring 1977 today

11 Monitoring PAST «Groupe de Travail pour l Etude des Invertébrés» Founded in first record cards Journal Päiperlek 1981 Butterfly atlas 1991 LUXNAT database

12 Butterfly knowledge evolution Publications Monitoring PAST Data: Recorder MNHNL

13 Monitoring PRESENT LIFE Eislek Qualitative Monitoring ( ) Determination of current distribution of L. helle in Luxemburg Definition of project target sites Quantitative Monitoring (2016 & 2017) Standardised conditions- Pollard Walk allows to draw conclusions on species trend and effectiveness of nature conservation efforts

14 Monitoring PRESENT LIFE Eislek Results Monitoring Monitoring many new sites discovered (+-40 sites) determination of hotspots retreat from marginal areas

15 Monitoring PRESENT Long-term monitoring necessary to draw conclusions on effectiveness of the different actions

16 Monitoring PRESENT Data: Xavier Mestdagh (LIST) National Butterfly Monitoring (coordinated by LIST) Not standardised: Casual data Case studies Standardised Quantitative Common butterfly survey Target butterfly survey Qualitative Site-based survey

17 Monitoring PRESENT Data: Xavier Mestdagh (LIST) Evolution of national butterfly database Localised Targeted Widespread all species <

18 Monitoring PRESENT Data: Xavier Mestdagh (LIST) Evolution of national butterfly database Lack of precision Standardised Geolocalised

19 Number of observations PROFESSIONALS Wipking et al. 2010:Biomonitoring, Interreg IV Restau Eco & LIFE Arnika Life Eislek Monitoring PRESENT Evolution of national butterfly database VOLUNTEERS Data: Recorder MNHNL Groupe de Travail pour l Etude des Invertébrés (SNL) & MNHN Year

20 Monitoring FUTURE Organisation of a «butterfly group» TASK: Recording of widespread and precise monitoring data BY: Recruitment of reliable and well trained volunteers for monitoring METHOD: Determination course and joined excursions combine professional and volunteer efforts

21 CITIZEN SCIENCE Why focus on butterflies? Decline of most species throughout Europe Good bioindicator: sensitivity, short life cycle, well studied, representative for its habitat Easy to detect Relatively easy to determine (in Lux species)

22 CITIZEN SCIENCE Butterfly determination course Idea Light course available to a large number of people 5 theory courses 2 excursions Involvement of all aspects Biology Systematics Museum: database and collection LIST: coordination of monitoring Latein. Name Aglais urticae Gonepteryx rhamni Aglais io Polygonia c-album Nymphalis polychloros Vanessa cardui Vanessa atalanta Callophrys rubi Pieris rapae Pararge aegeria Celastrina argiolus Anthocharis cardamines Carcharodus alceae Issoria lathonia Cupido minimus Boloria dia/clossia dia Pieris napi Araschnia levana Hamearis lucina Cupido argiades Melitaea cinxia Papilio machaon Glaucopsyche alexis Pieris brassicae Leptidea sinapis Erynnis tages Lasiommata megera Pyrgus malvae Cyaniris semiargus Lycaena phlaeas Polyommatus bellargus Lycaena tityrus Carterocephalus palaemon Spialia sertorius Erebia medusa Polyommatus icarus Aricia agestis Colias alfacariensis Coenonympha pamphilus Pyrgus serratulae Colias hyale Leptidea juvernica Lasiommata maera Januar Februar März April Mai Juni Juli August September Oktober November Dezember

23 CITIZEN SCIENCE Butterfly determination course Content 1. Diversity and biology of Lepidoptera 2. Anatomy 3. Systematic of butterflies, phenology, biotopes 4. Spring field trip 5. National data bank and collections (museum) 6. Coordination of national butterfly monitoring (LIST) 7. Summer field trip

24 CITIZEN SCIENCE Communication Forum Pimpampel: Google group Facebook Joined field trips Existing structures: SNL (entomology society), MNHN (collaborators of the museum) In the future: Formation of a «butterfly group» to organise volunteers? (example Feld AG for bird monitoring)

25 CITIZEN SCIENCE Difficulties Time intense: need of a coordinator, preferentially a professional Keep in touch and motivate volunteers Correctly judge level of competence (site based vs. transect) Reliability of volunteers

26 CITIZEN SCIENCE Media and citizen science Example: Ornitho Online Database: Nb. of recorders Nb. of recorded sightings before "ornitho.lu" after "ornitho.lu" before "ornitho.lu" after "ornitho.lu" APP: Naturalist a further increase in sightings is likely

27 CITIZEN SCIENCE Data: Xavier Mestdagh (LIST) Butterfly atlas and citizen science At national scale Known distribution Potential distribution Not prospected area Metapopulation useful tool for monitoring At local scale Decision-making tool for land management

28 2008: ATLAS CITIZEN SCIENCE Butterfly atlas and citizen science Effect on data recording Data: Violaine Fichefet (DGO 3)
