  • Spatiotemporal Pattern of Phenology Across Geographic Gradients in Insects
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2017 Spatiotemporal pattern of phenology across geographic gradients in insects Khelifa, Rassim Abstract: Phenology – the timing of recurrent biological events – influences nearly all aspects of ecology and evolution. Phenological shifts have been recorded in a wide range of animals and plants worldwide during the past few decades. Although the phenological responses differ between taxa, they may also vary geographically, especially along gradients such as latitude or elevation. Since changes in phenology have been shown to affect ecology, evolution, human health and the economy, understanding pheno- logical shifts has become a priority. Although phenological shifts have been associated with changes in temperature, there is still little comprehension of the phenology-temperature relationship, particularly the mechanisms influencing its strength and the extent to which it varies geographically. Such ques- tions would ideally be addressed by combining controlled laboratory experiments on thermal response with long-term observational datasets and historical temperature records. Here, I used odonates (drag- onflies and damselflies) and Sepsid scavenger flies to unravel how temperature affects development and phenology at different latitudes and elevations. The main purpose of this thesis is to provide essential knowledge on the factors driving the spatiotemporal phenological dynamics by (1) investigating how phenology changed in time and space across latitude and elevation in northcentral Europe during the past three decades, (2) assessing potential temporal changes in thermal sensitivity of phenology and (3) describing the geographic pattern and usefulness of thermal performance curves in predicting natural responses.

  • Subarctic Darner Aeshna Subarctica
    Natural Heritage Subarctic Darner & Endangered Species Aeshna subarctica Program State Status: Endangered www.mass.gov/nhesp Federal Status: None Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife DESCRIPTION OF ADULT: The Subarctic Darner is a stunning insect species in the order Odonata, suborder Anisoptera (the dragonflies), and family Aeshnidae (the darners). The adult is a large dragonfly magnificently colored with greens, blues, and rich browns. The thorax (winged and legged segment behind the head) is mostly brown, with two green to blue dorsal stripes and two blue-green to yellowish lateral stripes. The abdominal segments are predominantly brown with green to blue markings. The Subarctic Darner has black legs and transparent to amber-tinged wings. The face is yellow with a thin black cross-line, and the eyes are dull blue- gray to green in color. Subarctic Darners range from 2.6 to almost 3 inches (66-76 mm) in overall length, with the females averaging somewhat larger. Wingspread ranges from 3.1 to 3.6 inches (78-92 mm). SIMILAR SPECIES: Ten species of blue darners (genus Aeshna) occur regularly in Massachusetts and the Subarctic Darner closely resembles many of them in appearance. The slight differences in pattern and and can be distinguished from other Aeshna using coloration distinguish the various species.

N. jurzitzai sp.n. (holotype 6: Brazil, Santa Catarina state, Nova Teutonia, 5 XI-I942, in UMMZ) is described, and the 6 and 9 ofN. rufithorax Selys are described based on specimens from Peru. INTRODUCTION include The genus Neoneura was first proposed by SELYS (1860) to two new species, N. rubriventris and N. bilinearis. Later, SELYS (1886) expanded the ge- nus to include eight species, of which four were new. CALVERT (1903, 1907) described three species (N. aaroni, N. amelia, and N. paya) from southern Texas, Mexico, and Central America. WILLIAMSON (1917), in his seminal revision monographed all known species, described six new species, and included diagnos- tic illustrationsof all known species.

  • A Synopsis of the Neotropical Species of 'Aeshna
    NATALIA VON ELLENRIEDER Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County A SYNOPSIS OF THE NEOTROPICAL SPECIES OF ‘AESHNA’ FABRICIUS: THE GENUS RHIONAESCHNA FÖRSTER (ODONATA: AESHNIDAE) von Ellenrieder, N., 2003. A synopsis of the Neotropical species of ‘Aeshna’ Fabricius: The Genus Rhionaeschna Förster (Odonata: Aeshnidae). – Tijdschrift voor Entomologie 146: 67- 207, figs. 1-468, tabs. 1-3. [ISSN 0040-7496]. Published 1 June 2003. This study includes a revisionary, phylogenetic and biogeographical analysis of Neotropical com- ponents of Aeshna Fabricius characterized by a midventral tubercle on abdominal sternum I. Phylogenetic relationships of the Neotropical species of Aeshna were inferred based on 39 adult characters. Ingroup taxa included 68 out of the 85 species currently assigned to Aeshna, and two species each of Andaeshna De Marmels and Anaciaeschna Selys. Oreaeschna dictatrix Lieftinck was chosen as outgroup. The strict consensus tree obtained after successive weighting revealed that Aeshna is not monophyletic; some of its species are more closely related to Anaciaeschna or Andaeschna. The name Aeshna should consequently be restricted to the Holarctic group includ- ing the type species Aeshna grandis Fabricius. In the present synopsis the generic name Rhion- aeschna Förster is assigned to the New World group characterized by the presence of a conical tu- bercle on abdominal sternum I, comprising 39 species formerly assigned to Aeshna. The synopsis includes keys to adults of both sexes, diagnoses, biological notes, distribution maps and more than 400 diagnostic illustrations. Rhionaeschna demarmelsi sp. n. is described, R. maita Förster is considered a junior synonym of R. brevifrons (Hagen), R. peralta (Ris) is considered a valid species, not a synonym of R.

  • Behavioural and Biological Notes on Crabronidae (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) and New Geographic Records to the Espírito Santo State (Southeast Brazil)
    BOL. MUS. BIOL. MELLO LEITÃO (N. SÉR.) 33:19-24. JANEIRO DE 2014 19 Behavioural and biological notes on Crabronidae (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) and new geographic records to the Espírito Santo State (Southeast Brazil) Sandor Christiano Buys1* ABSTRACT: The following species of crabronid wasps are added to the list of Hymenoptera of Espírito Santo State: Stictia maccus (Handlirsch, 1895), Hoplisoides vespoides (F. Smith, 1873), Trachypus fulvipennis (Tachenberg, 1875), Trachypus romandi (Saussure, 1854). Notes on nesting behaviour of H. vespoides, S. maccus and T. fulvipennis in the Biological Station of Santa Lúcia (city of Santa Teresa) are presented. Hoplisoides vespoides used as prey Umbonia spinosa (Fabricius, 1775) (Hemiptera: Membracidae) and T. fuvipennis used as prey three species of stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponinae): Plebeia remota (Holmberg, 1903), Partamona aff. cupira (Smith, 1863), Schwarziana quadripunctata (Lepeletier, 1836). Key-words: Trachypus, Stictia, Hoplisoides, Meliponinae bee, solitary wasps, Atlantic Forest. RESUMO: Notas biológicas e comportamentais sobre Crabronidae (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) e novos registros geográficos para o Estado do Espírito Santo (Sudeste do Brasil). As seguintes espécies de vespas crabronídeas são adicionadas à lista de Hymenoptera do Estado do Espírito Santo: Stictia maccus (Handlirsch, 1895), Hoplisoides vespoides (F. Smith, 1873), Trachypus fulvipennis (Tachenberg, 1875), Trachypus romandi (Saussure, 1854). Notas sobre comportamento de nidificação de Hoplisoides vespoides, S. maccus e T. fulvipennis na Estação Biológica de Santa Lúcia (Santa Teresa) são apresentadas. Hoplisoides vespoides usou como presa Umbonia spinosa (Fabricius, 1775) (Hemiptera: Membracidae) e T. fuvipennis usou como presa três espécies de abelhas meliponíneas (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponinae): Plebeia remota (Holmberg, 1903), Partamona aff. cupira (Smith, 1863), Schwarziana quadripunctata (Lepeletier, 1836).
