The means that CJS Weekly should be collected from the CJS offices as normal on Saturday 24 October, however there will be a backlog of unsorted mail so it's quite likely that your copy will be late. If your CJS does not turn up what can you do?

• You can wait for your copy to be delivered (patiently, in vain?) • Email / phone us for the temporary access details to download a copy from the website • For the duration we will email a PDF file (this can be rather large so make sure you have enough space in your

mailbox before asking fro this) • For the duration of any strike we will also fax copies • Or you can avoid strikes all together by transferring to web access.

Please remember that not only does this affect copies of CJS Weekly to you but it also affects post to the CJS office, this includes many of the specialist publications, we're doing our best to obtain duplicate copies from alternative sources. We're also recommending that if your subscription is due for renewal that you renew online or over the phone to avoid any delays. And finally thank you for your patience.

Mobile phones at the ready for Autumn ladybird invasion As ladybirds crawl into our homes for the winter, scientists have called for more photos to be sent in to the UK Ladybird Survey to help track the harlequin ladybird invasion. This invasive alien species is a potential threat to Britain’s native ladybirds and wider biodiversity. Scientists at the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH) have teamed up with Woolworths.co.uk to start a mobile phone recording scheme which allows on-the-spot recording and will hopefully encourage more children to get involved in science. Dr Helen Roy, an entomologist at CEH, said this had been a particularly good year for some species of ladybird, including harlequins and the native 7-spot, with large swarms being reported throughout the summer. Now, she said, was the ideal opportunity to send in photographs to help monitor the harlequin invasion as ladybirds are mostly inactive during the winter months and some species, such as the harlequin, spend the cold period in buildings – often in large numbers. It is also hoped the support of the public will provide clues about the numbers of the native 2-spot species. Peter Brown of Anglia Ruskin University, who also works on the UK Ladybird Survey, said that despite the increase in numbers of some species, there had been reports from across Europe that native 2-spots are declining. “The tiny 2-spots tend to spend the winter with harlequins in buildings, so sending in photos of this species will provide us with the information we need to begin assessing the magnitude of this decline,” he said. Dr Roy said ladybird recording was very important in helping scientists to assess the effects of environmental change, including the arrival of a new species, on biodiversity. The new mobile portal feeds directly into the UK Ladybird Survey. “We are excited that ladybird sightings can now be sent in through the mobile phones and hope using this technology will motivate more children to get involved in biological recording," she said. “Studying ladybirds can be a lot of fun; there are 46 different species in the UK and, although identifying them can be challenging, it is extremely rewarding.” Centre for Ecology and Hydrology - 16 October 2009 REF 3013-WWTS-2/11 JOB ASSISTANT CENTRE MANAGER BE4 4/11/09 (noon) IV 16/11/09 LOC HANNINGFIELD RESERVOIR VISITOR CENTRE PAY up to 6868 based on a 15 hr week FOR ESSEX WILDLIFE TRUST DES / BUT Part time, 2 days per week, extra days may be available occasionally.
