Diptera: Bombyliidae) in North and South a America NORMAN MARST Taxonomic Study of the Known Pupae of the Genus Anthrax (Diptera: Bombyliidae) in North and South A America SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY NUMBER 100 SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti- tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com- mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of profes- sional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These publications are distributed by subscription to libraries, laboratories, and other in- terested institutions and specialists throughout the world. Individual copies may be obtained from the Smithsonian Institution Press as long as stocks are available. S.

  • Floral Guilds of Bees in Sagebrush Steppe: Comparing Bee Usage Of
    ABSTRACT: Healthy plant communities of the American sagebrush steppe consist of mostly wind-polli- • nated shrubs and grasses interspersed with a diverse mix of mostly spring-blooming, herbaceous perennial wildflowers. Native, nonsocial bees are their common floral visitors, but their floral associations and abundances are poorly known. Extrapolating from the few available pollination studies, bees are the primary pollinators needed for seed production. Bees, therefore, will underpin the success of ambitious seeding efforts to restore native forbs to impoverished sagebrush steppe communities following vast Floral Guilds of wildfires. This study quantitatively characterized the floral guilds of 17 prevalent wildflower species of the Great Basin that are, or could be, available for restoration seed mixes. More than 3800 bees repre- senting >170 species were sampled from >35,000 plants. Species of Osmia, Andrena, Bombus, Eucera, Bees in Sagebrush Halictus, and Lasioglossum bees prevailed. The most thoroughly collected floral guilds, at Balsamorhiza sagittata and Astragalus filipes, comprised 76 and 85 native bee species, respectively. Pollen-specialists Steppe: Comparing dominated guilds at Lomatium dissectum, Penstemon speciosus, and several congenerics. In contrast, the two native wildflowers used most often in sagebrush steppe seeding mixes—Achillea millefolium and Linum lewisii—attracted the fewest bees, most of them unimportant in the other floral guilds.

  • Hymenoptera: Vespidae)
    RECORDS AND FLOWER PREFERENCES OF MASARID WASPS (HYMENOPTERA: VESPIDAE) BY KENNETH W. COOPER (Princeton University) and J. BEQUAERT (Harvard University) The observations which follow on the masarid wasps in Colorado are based largely upon collections made (by KWC) in the vicinity of th.e Science L.odge of the University of Colorado during the in- terval July 26--August 21, 199. Additional flower records and information upon eleven species of Ps,eudomasaris from Arizon,a, California, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas and Utah, as well as from Colorado, are included (by JB) from previously unpublished notes. All records, therefore, rest on the authority of Dr. J. Bequaert if they are not initialled "(KWC)". Science Lodge, it should be re.marked, is located at the margin of Arapaho Moraine, below Mount Niwot, approximately eight miles NNW of the town of Nederland, Colorado, at an altitude of 9,528 ft., just three miles East of the Continental Divide. It is thus in the uppermost fourth of Ramaley's "Montane Zone", heavy stands of lodgepole pine char.acterizing the region. Road margins and clearings were frequently densely populated with flowers very at- tractive to aculeate Hymen'optera, and collecting could hardly have been better. The varied terrain with prcdoninantly ponderosa pine-Douglas fir forests below, subalpine fir-Engelmann spruce stands and tundra bove, all make Science Lodge located in the intermediate lodgepole pine forest ideally situated as a central base for the field naturalist. The records which follow may bc added to those of Bradley (1922) and Bequaert (1929, 190, 193). As many of the older records of Ps.eudomasaris flower preferences are tod,ay uncertain because of o,bvious misidentification of the plant concerned, it is very important that all new records be validated by authority.

  • Insect Egg Size and Shape Evolve with Ecology but Not Developmental Rate Samuel H
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1302-4 Insect egg size and shape evolve with ecology but not developmental rate Samuel H. Church1,4*, Seth Donoughe1,3,4, Bruno A. S. de Medeiros1 & Cassandra G. Extavour1,2* Over the course of evolution, organism size has diversified markedly. Changes in size are thought to have occurred because of developmental, morphological and/or ecological pressures. To perform phylogenetic tests of the potential effects of these pressures, here we generated a dataset of more than ten thousand descriptions of insect eggs, and combined these with genetic and life-history datasets. We show that, across eight orders of magnitude of variation in egg volume, the relationship between size and shape itself evolves, such that previously predicted global patterns of scaling do not adequately explain the diversity in egg shapes. We show that egg size is not correlated with developmental rate and that, for many insects, egg size is not correlated with adult body size. Instead, we find that the evolution of parasitoidism and aquatic oviposition help to explain the diversification in the size and shape of insect eggs. Our study suggests that where eggs are laid, rather than universal allometric constants, underlies the evolution of insect egg size and shape. Size is a fundamental factor in many biological processes. The size of an 526 families and every currently described extant hexapod order24 organism may affect interactions both with other organisms and with (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Fig. 1). We combined this dataset with the environment1,2, it scales with features of morphology and physi- backbone hexapod phylogenies25,26 that we enriched to include taxa ology3, and larger animals often have higher fitness4.

The following bibliography gives full references to 2,982 works cited in the catalog as well as additional ones cited within the bibliography. A concerted effort was made to examine as many of the cited references as possible in order to ensure accurate citation of authorship, date, title, and pagination. References are listed alphabetically by author and chronologically for multiple articles with the same authorship. In cases where more than one article was published by an author(s) in a particular year, a suffix letter follows the year (letters are listed alphabetically according to publication chronology). Authors' names: Names of authors are cited in the bibliography the same as they are in the text for proper association of literature citations with entries in the catalog. Because of the differing treatments of names, especially those containing articles such as "de," "del," "van," "Le," etc., these names are cross-indexed in the bibliography under the various ways in which they may be treated elsewhere. For Russian and other names in Cyrillic and other non-Latin character sets, we follow the spelling used by the authors themselves. Dates of publication: Dating of these works was obtained through various methods in order to obtain as accurate a date of publication as possible for purposes of priority in nomenclature. Dates found in the original works or by outside evidence are placed in brackets after the literature citation.

  • The Insects That Visit Penstemon Flowers
    The Insects That Visit Penstemon Flowers Sarah Kimball Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721 Paul Wilson Department of Biology, California State University, Northridge, CA 91330-8303 The shape and color of penstemon flowers are the result of adaptations to attract pollinators. Diverse flower types reflect differences in animal pollinators. For about four-fifths of penstemon species (the ones with white, blue, or purple flowers), the principal pollinators are bees and the wasp Pseudomasaris vespoides. The remaining fifth of penstemon species have red or pink flowers adapted to hummingbird pollination, with some of these also retaining the bees as co-pollinators. In addition to the animals that the flowers seem adapted to, there are a number of other insects that sometimes visit penstemon flowers, such as the long-tongued flies called Oligodranes. There are also many generalist flower visitors occasionally observed on penstemons, such as hawkmoths. The hummingbirds visiting penstemon can be identified with field guides, but the insect visitors are usually more difficult because there are many more insect species and few field guides mention the flowers visited by each species. The goal of this article is to introduce some of the major groups of insects commonly observed visiting penstemon flowers (see photographs in Plate 9). Animal pollinators visit flowers to gather food in the form of nectar, pollen, or both. From the perspective of the animal pollinators, the act of removing pollen from the anthers of one flower and depositing it on the stigma of another flower is merely a 20 Bulletin of the American Penstemon Society Vol.

  • Bombyliidae: Anthracinae) from the Americas and Reassessment of Anthrax Dentoni Lewis, 1969
    Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org Two new and disparate fossil bee flies (Bombyliidae: Anthracinae) from the Americas and reassessment of Anthrax dentoni Lewis, 1969 Dale E. Greenwalt, Jonathan G. Wingerath, and Neal L. Evenhuis ABSTRACT In this study, two new species of anthracine bee flies are described and one previ- ously described species is reassessed. Anthrax succini Greenwalt and Evenhuis sp. nov. is the first of the very speciose genus Anthrax and only the second bombyliid to be described from Dominican amber. The previously described Anthrax dentoni Lewis, 1969 was re-examined and reassigned to Anthracinae incertae sedis due to lack of morphological detail required for generic assignment. Eoanomala melas Greenwalt and Evenhuis gen. and sp. nov. is described from the Middle Eocene oil shales of the Kishenehn Formation. Eoanomala melas contains a number of character states that are not found together in any extant genera and, although it may fit within the tribe Vil- lini, it does not appear to be closely related to the extant constituents of that clade.
