  • Wild Species 2010 the GENERAL STATUS of SPECIES in CANADA
    Wild Species 2010 THE GENERAL STATUS OF SPECIES IN CANADA Canadian Endangered Species Conservation Council National General Status Working Group This report is a product from the collaboration of all provincial and territorial governments in Canada, and of the federal government. Canadian Endangered Species Conservation Council (CESCC). 2011. Wild Species 2010: The General Status of Species in Canada. National General Status Working Group: 302 pp. Available in French under title: Espèces sauvages 2010: La situation générale des espèces au Canada. ii Abstract Wild Species 2010 is the third report of the series after 2000 and 2005. The aim of the Wild Species series is to provide an overview on which species occur in Canada, in which provinces, territories or ocean regions they occur, and what is their status. Each species assessed in this report received a rank among the following categories: Extinct (0.2), Extirpated (0.1), At Risk (1), May Be At Risk (2), Sensitive (3), Secure (4), Undetermined (5), Not Assessed (6), Exotic (7) or Accidental (8). In the 2010 report, 11 950 species were assessed. Many taxonomic groups that were first assessed in the previous Wild Species reports were reassessed, such as vascular plants, freshwater mussels, odonates, butterflies, crayfishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. Other taxonomic groups are assessed for the first time in the Wild Species 2010 report, namely lichens, mosses, spiders, predaceous diving beetles, ground beetles (including the reassessment of tiger beetles), lady beetles, bumblebees, black flies, horse flies, mosquitoes, and some selected macromoths. The overall results of this report show that the majority of Canada’s wild species are ranked Secure.

  • ENDOCRINE CONTROL of VITELLOGENESIS in BACTERICERA COCKERELLI (HEMIPTERA: TRIOZIDAE), the VECTOR of 'ZEBRA CHIP' a Dissertat
    ENDOCRINE CONTROL OF VITELLOGENESIS IN BACTERICERA COCKERELLI (HEMIPTERA: TRIOZIDAE), THE VECTOR OF ‘ZEBRA CHIP’ A Dissertation by FREDDY ANIBAL IBANEZ-CARRASCO Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Cecilia Tamborindeguy Committee Members, Ginger Carney Patricia Pietrantonio Robert Coulson Head of Department, David Ragsdale August 2017 Major Subject: Entomology Copyright 2017 Freddy Ibanez-Carrasco ABSTRACT The potato psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli (Šulc), is a phloem-feeding insect with preference for Solanaceae. This insect species transmits the pathogenic bacteria ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ (Lso) the causative agent of zebra chip, an important disease of commercial potatoes in several countries worldwide. The classification of psyllids among the most dangerous vectors has promoted their study, but still many biological processes need to be investigated. As a first step towards the elucidation of vitellogenesis in B. cockerelli, two candidate vitellogenin transcripts were identified and its expression was analyzed in different life stages. Our results showed that in virgin females, BcVg1-like expression increased up to 5 days old; while mating significantly upregulated its expression in 5- and 7-day-old females and also induced oviposition. BcVg6-like transcript was expressed at similar level between females and males and it was not up-regulated by mating. To elucidate the role of juvenile hormone in B. cockerelli Vgs expression, topical applications of juvenile hormone III (JH III) were performed on virgin females, resulting in an upregulation of BcVg1-like expression and an increase in the number of mature oocytes observed in female reproductive organs.

  • Gut Content Metabarcoding Unveils the Diet of a Flower‐Associated Coastal
    ECOSPHERE NATURALIST No guts, no glory: Gut content metabarcoding unveils the diet of a flower-associated coastal sage scrub predator PAUL MASONICK , MADISON HERNANDEZ, AND CHRISTIANE WEIRAUCH Department of Entomology, University of California, Riverside, 900 University Avenue, Riverside, California 92521 USA Citation: Masonick, P., M. Hernandez, and C. Weirauch. 2019. No guts, no glory: Gut content metabarcoding unveils the diet of a flower-associated coastal sage scrub predator. Ecosphere 10(5):e02712. 10.1002/ecs2.2712 Abstract. Invertebrate generalist predators are ubiquitous and play a major role in food-web dynamics. Molecular gut content analysis (MGCA) has become a popular means to assess prey ranges and specificity of cryptic arthropods in the absence of direct observation. While this approach has been widely used to study predation on economically important taxa (i.e., pests) in agroecosystems, it is less frequently used to study the broader trophic interactions involving generalist predators in natural communities such as the diverse and threatened coastal sage scrub communities of Southern California. Here, we employ DNA metabarcoding-based MGCA and survey the taxonomically and ecologically diverse prey range of Phymata pacifica Evans, a generalist flower-associated ambush bug (Hemiptera: Reduviidae). We detected predation on a wide array of taxa including beneficial pollinators, potential pests, and other predatory arthropods. The success of this study demonstrates the utility of MGCA in natural ecosystems and can serve as a model for future diet investigations into other cryptic and underrepresented communities. Key words: biodiversity; blocking primers; DNA detectability half-life; Eriogonum fasciculatum; food webs; intraguild predation; natural enemies. Received 24 January 2019; accepted 11 February 2019.
