Distribution and Ecology of the Stoneflies (Plecoptera) of Flanders
Ann. Limnol. - Int. J. Lim. 2008, 44 (3), 203 - 213 Distribution and ecology of the stonefl ies (Plecoptera) of Flanders (Belgium) K. Lock, P.L.M. Goethals Ghent University, Laboratory of Environmental Toxicology and Aquatic Ecology, J. Plateaustraat 22, 9000 Gent, Belgium. Based on a literature survey and the identifi cation of all available collection material from Flanders, a checklist is presented, distribution maps are plotted and the relationship between the occurrence of the different species and water characteristics is analysed. Of the sixteen stonefl y species that have been recorded, three are now extinct in Flanders (Isogenus nubecula, Taen- iopteryx nebulosa and T. schoenemundi), while the remaining species are rare. The occurrence of stonefl ies is almost restricted to small brooks, while observations in larger watercourses are almost lacking. Although a few records may indicate that some larger watercourses have recently been recolonised, these observations consisted of single specimens and might be due to drift. Most stonefl y population are strongly isolated and therefore extremely vulnerable. Small brooks in the Campine region (northeast Flanders), which are characterised by a lower pH and a lower conductivity, contained a different stonefl y community than the small brooks in the rest of Flanders. Leuctra pseudosignifera, Nemoura marginata and Protonemura intricata are mainly found in small brooks in the loamy region, Amphinemura standfussi, Isoperla grammatica, Leuctra fusca, L. hippopus, N. avicularis and P. meyeri mainly occur in small Campine brooks, while L. nigra, N. cinerea and Nemurella pictetii can be found in both types. Nemoura dubitans can typically be found in stagnant water fed with freatic water. -

Subfamily Eustheninat The description of Thaumatoperla robusta by the late Dr. H. -J.

Few specimens only of T. robusta exist in collections; the holotype female is in the National Museum collection, Melbourne, together with another female ; the allotype male is in the Cawthron Institute collection at Nelson, New Zealand. Both type specimens were collected near Warburton, Victoria, the other female speci- men in the National Museum collection being labelled " Millgrove, Victoria; T. H. Tregellas.'" The description of the allotype male is given (Tillvard) in the Proceedings of the Roval Society of South Australia, vol. 48, 1924. With this description, Tillyard mentions, " A half-grown larva of this fine species has recently been taken by Mr. -
Some Evolutionary Trends in Plecoptera
Some Evolutionary Trends in Plecoptera W. E. Ricker, Indiana University Structural Evolution The families and subfam ilies of stoneflies recognized by the writer are as follows: Distribution A. Suborder Holognatha (Setipalpia) Eustheniidae Eustheniinae Australia and New Zealand Diamphipnoinae Southern South America Austroperlidae Australia and New Zealand Leptoperlidae Leptoperlinae Australia and New Zealand; Fiji Islands; temperate South America Scopurinae Japan Peltoperlidae North and South America; east Asia and the bordering islands, south to Borneo Nemouridae Notonemourinae Australia and New Zealand Nemourinae Holarctic region Leuctrinae Holarctic region; South Africa; Tierra del Fuego Capniinae Holarctic Taeniopteryginae Holarctic Pteronarcidae North America; eastern Siberia B.

These insects had small wing-like lateral expansions of the prothorax, and a fairly well- developed posterior (concave) median vein in both wings, both of which have been lost in modern stoneflies. Developments in some of the mor- phological features which have been most studied are as follows: Nymphal mouth parts: The holognathous families are characterized by bulky mandibles, by short thick palpi, and by having the paraglossae and glossae of the labium about equal in length. In the adult the man- dibles remain large and functional. -
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. -
