    Teachers' and Pupils' Views on the Proposed Redevelopment of Lochwinnoch RSPB Centre & Reserve

    No full text
    The RSPB aims to enhance the firsthand experiences of wildlife for young people, encourage growth in young people’s membership, and build its contacts and work with schools (RSPB, 2007). In order to achieve its goals, the RSPB is cognisant of the role of nature reserves and the need to ensure that educational provisions support this work. The RSPB Lochwinnoch Reserve is a nature reserve and visitor centre located in Renfrewshire close to Glasgow, attracting about 35 thousand visitors per year. Facilities available for educational use include the visitor centre with classroom space, observation tower, nature trails and hides, shop, toilets, and an outdoor picnic area. Currently, the centre buildings are in need of substantial refurbishment. Before any redevelopment plans are finalised, this research, among other submissions, has been commissioned to determine what current and prospective use requirements might be, and how best to encourage better and greater educational use of the centre and reserve

Va r i a t i o n A few additional characters not included in the above description merit noting. Calceoli occur on peduncle articles 2–3 of antenna 1 in all specimens examined, although they were not apparent on article 3 in the holotype. Each calceolus arises from a raised hump on the peduncle articles. The upper lip is ovate (distal half only illustrated for holotype) and there is no division between labium and epistome. Some asymmetry is apparent in the mandibles with the left incisor having 6 cusps and the right 5. Similar asymmetry occurs on the lacinia mobili, which have 4 cusps on the left and 3 on the right. Chilton (1894) showed a distinct medial notch in one of the outer lobes of the lower lip and a similar notch was apparent in one of the specimens examined here. Very little asymmetry was apparent in maxilla 1 other than slight differences in palp article 2 width and the stoutness of apical robust setae. The inner plate of maxilla 2 has an oblique, submarginal row of 5–6 plumose setae in all specimens, although these were not readily visible in the holotype. Gnathopod 1 article 2 is consistently kinked proximally. The dactyl tips of both gnathopods close into crater­like depressions surrounded by robust setae at the proximal ends of their respective palms. Also, the palm is complex with an apparently fine, crenulated knife­edge structure opposing the dactyl along much of the palm. Just proximal to the palm, article 6 is produced into a massive, blunt cusp­like structure (see Chilton 1984: pl. 23, figs 1, 2), but this, like the fine palmar cutting edge, is not apparent in some perspectives. Examination of the few juveniles of this species in collections showed that shape of article 6 and the length of largest defining spines changes little with development. A small gill was found on coxa 7 in several specimens, but was absent from others. It is not known whether this gill is always present, but was dislodged in some specimens, or whether this small gill is variable in its presence. The lateral margin of the uropod 3 inner ramus had robust setae paired with long, plumose slender setae in some specimens, but this, also, appeared to be a variable character. The telson also seems to vary between specimens, with the emargination slightly deeper than that illustrated for some specimens. Etymology The name toonuiiti is derived from Maori toonui (thumb) and iti (little) and refers to the smaller robust seta defining the proximal end of the gnathopod 1 palm, which is characteristic of this species. Distribution Canterbury: Eyreton, Harewood, Templeton, Burnham, Orari. Remarks As noted above, Chilton’s 1882 b “male” differed appreciably from the 1894 male in the morphology of both gnathopods, suggesting the possibility of two species. New material collected since 1972 enabled this to be investigated more carefully, as outlined above, and produced clear evidence that Chilton’s 1882 b “male” Calliope subterranea belongs to a different species to his 1894 “male” Calliopius subterraneus. Chilton (1894) appeared to place substantial weight on the structure of gnathopod 1, believing that the 1882 “male” was a juvenile of the 1894 type. Reasons for this are unclear, but he certainly had very few specimens (1894: 236 “I have seen only about half a dozen males altogether”) of Ringanui, with perhaps no more than one specimen of his 1882 b “male” (R. koonuiroa).Published as part of Fenwick, Graham D., 2006, Ringanui, a new genus of stygobitic amphipod from New Zealand (Amphipoda: Gammaridea: Paraleptamphopidae), pp. 1-25 in Zootaxa 1148 on pages 15-23, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17210
