  • 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.

  • (Zygoptera: Coenagrionidae) Flight Intensity
    Odonatologica II (3): 239-243 September /, 1982 Notes on the effect of meteorologicalparameters on flightactivity and reproductive behaviour of Coenagrionpuella (L.) (Zygoptera: Coenagrionidae) J. Waringer Wiesfeldgasse 6, A-3130 Herzogenburg, Austria Received January 23, 1981 / Accepted March 25, 1982 The influence of temperature, light intensity, cloudiness and wind intensity on daily activity of C. puella at a pond in Lower Austria is discussed. For initiating flightactivity, a minimum light intensity of60 x lOMux is needed. No flight activity was observed on cloudy days with light intensityvalues lying below the threshold 3 of 60 x 10 lux or wind intensity > 8 m s'1 . INTRODUCTION It is known that flight intensity and reproduction in Odonata are influenced such largely by climatological factors, as temperature, light- and wind intensity. CORBET (1962) has shown that unfavourabletemperatures can be avoided by migration, by flight to habitats with an equable micro- climate or by a resting condition. Temperature changes on a daily basis can be regulated physiologically, e.g. by wing vibrations for raising the body choice of site temperature or behaviourally by an appropriate resting (MAY, 1977; CORBET, 1962). Another possibility is taken by crepuscular species, especially tropical Anisoptera. The flight activity of Coenagrion puella is fully restricted to daytime. role in Although temperature plays a major egg development and larval growth of this species (Waringer, unpublished) and therefore in timing of the seasonal flight period, it has been found that daily flight activity is also affected wind- in by and light intensity a considerable way. The aim ofthe obtain information present study was to some quantitative the influence of of on meteorological parameters on daily flight activity Coenagrion puella.

    Sánchez-Herrera et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2020) 20:74 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-020-01638-z RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access An exploration of the complex biogeographical history of the Neotropical banner-wing damselflies (Odonata: Polythoridae) Melissa Sánchez-Herrera1,2* , Christopher D. Beatty3, Renato Nunes2,4, Camilo Salazar1 and Jessica L. Ware2,5 Abstract Background: The New World Tropics has experienced a dynamic landscape across evolutionary history and harbors a high diversity of flora and fauna. While there are some studies addressing diversification in Neotropical vertebrates and plants, there is still a lack of knowledge in arthropods. Here we examine temporal and spatial diversification patterns in the damselfly family Polythoridae, which comprises seven genera with a total of 58 species distributed across much of Central and South America. Results: Our time-calibrated phylogeny for 48 species suggests that this family radiated during the late Eocene (~ 33 Ma), diversifying during the Miocene. As with other neotropical groups, the Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) of most of the Polythoridae genera has a primary origin in the Northern Andes though the MRCA of at least one genus may have appeared in the Amazon Basin. Our molecular clock suggests correlations with some major geographical events, and our biogeographical modeling (with BioGeoBEARS and RASP) found a significant influence of the formation of the Pebas and Acre systems on the early diversification of these damselflies, though evidence for the influence of the rise of the different Andean ranges was mixed. Diversification rates have been uniform in all genera except one—Polythore—where a significant increase in the late Pliocene (~ 3 mya) may have been influenced by recent Andean uplift.

  • ABSTRACT Gregarine Parasitism in Dragonfly Populations of Central
    ABSTRACT Gregarine Parasitism in Dragonfly Populations of Central Texas with an Assessment of Fitness Costs in Erythemis simplicicollis Jason L. Locklin, Ph.D. Mentor: Darrell S. Vodopich, Ph.D. Dragonfly parasites are widespread and frequently include gregarines (Phylum Apicomplexa) in the gut of the host. Gregarines are ubiquitous protozoan parasites that infect arthropods worldwide. More than 1,600 gregarine species have been described, but only a small percentage of invertebrates have been surveyed for these apicomplexan parasites. Some consider gregarines rather harmless, but recent studies suggest otherwise. Odonate-gregarine studies have more commonly involved damselflies, and some have considered gregarines to rarely infect dragonflies. In this study, dragonfly populations were surveyed for gregarines and an assessment of fitness costs was made in a common and widespread host species, Erythemis simplicicollis. Adult dragonfly populations were surveyed weekly at two reservoirs in close proximity to one another and at a flow-through wetland system. Gregarine prevalences and intensities were compared within host populations between genders, among locations, among wing loads, and through time. Host fitness parameters measured included wing load, egg size, clutch size, and total egg count. Of the 37 dragonfly species surveyed, 14 species (38%) hosted gregarines. Thirteen of those species were previously unreported as hosts. Gregarine prevalences ranged from 2% – 52%. Intensities ranged from 1 – 201. Parasites were aggregated among their hosts. Gregarines were found only in individuals exceeding a minimum wing load, indicating that gregarines are likely not transferred from the naiad to adult during emergence. Prevalence and intensity exhibited strong seasonality during both years at one of the reservoirs, but no seasonal trend was detected at the wetland.

One major reason for this is that several ecological and phylogeny; evolutionary traits may jointly shape species’ differences in range size. We range size; here present an integrated study of the contribution of ecological (dispersal Rapoport’s rule. capacity, body size and latitudinal position) and macroevolutionary (species’ age) traits in shaping variation in species’ range size in Coenagrion damsel- flies. We reconstructed the phylogenetic tree of this genus to account for evolutionary history when assessing the contribution of the ecological traits and to evaluate the role of the macroevolutionary trait (species’ age). The genus invaded the Nearctic twice independently from the Palearctic, yet this was not associated with the evolution of larger range sizes or dispersal capacity.

This includes observations of behaviour, breeding and flowering patterns, distributions and range extensions, foraging, food, movement, measurements, habitat and colouration/plumage variations. Biotic interactions such as pollination, fruit dispersal, herbivory and predation fall within the scope, as well as the use of indigenous and exotic species by humans. Observations of naturalised plants and animals will also be considered. Biodiversity Observations will also publish a variety of other interesting or relevant biodiversity material: reports of projects and conferences, annotated checklists for a site or region, specialist bibliographies, book reviews and any other appropriate material. Further details and guidelines to authors are on the journal website (https://journals.uct.ac.za/index.php/BO/).

Abstract SNP Yadav Deen Community structure of Odonata larvae was investigated in a fish farming pond at Tamluk located in the PG Dept. of Zoology Magadh coastal belt of West Bengal, India. In total 12 species under 3 families and 2 suborder were recorded University. Bodh-Gaya, Gaya, during study period. Suborders Anisoptera was the most dominant (76.16%) group. Family Gomphidae Bihar, India. had the lowest abundance (1.93%) and Family libellulidae had highest abundance (76.66%). All the species were not found throughout the year. Some species such as Pantala flavescens (Fabricius, 1798) of family Libellulidae was found only in rainy months thus behaving as species associated with rains. Species diversity, dominance index, equitability index and evenness indices during study period, suggest a moderately stressed and disturbed environment. Keywords: Odonata larvae, Libellulidae, Gomphidae, Species diversity Introduction The dragonfly & damselfly collectively known as Odonata constitute a small but well known, widely distributed group of insect order.

(2012). Etymology of the dragonfl ies (Insecta: Odonata) named by R.J. Tillyard, F.R.S. Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales 134, 1-16. R.J. Tillyard described 26 genera and 130 specifi c or subspecifi c taxa of dragonfl ies from the Australasian region. The etymology of the scientifi c name of each of these is given or deduced. Manuscript received 11 December 2011, accepted for publication 16 April 2012. KEYWORDS: Australasia, Dragonfl ies, Etymology, Odonata, Tillyard. INTRODUCTION moved to another genus while 16 (12%) have fallen into junior synonymy. Twelve (9%) of his subspecies Given a few taxonomic and distributional have been raised to full species status and two species uncertainties, the odonate fauna of Australia comprises have been relegated to subspecifi c status. Of the 325 species in 113 genera (Theischinger and Endersby eleven subspecies, or varieties or races as Tillyard 2009). The discovery and naming of these dragonfl ies sometimes called them, not accounted for above, fi ve falls roughly into three discrete time periods (Table 1). are still recognised, albeit four in different genera, During the fi rst of these, all Australian Odonata were two are no longer considered as distinct subspecies, referred to European experts, while the second era and four have disappeared from the modern literature.
