Hluti af gögnum var nýtt í annari Bs ritgerð. ________________________________ Hallfríður Guðný Ragnarsdóttir III Ágrip Loftlagsbreytingar og aðrar breytingar á veðurfari hafa mikil áhrif á lífríkið. Fiðrildi eru talin góður vísir á breytingar í lífríkinu og er bæði ódýrt og einfalt að nota ljósgildru til að vakta breytingar á fjölda og flugtíma þeirra á hverjum stað. Fiðrildavöktun hófst hér á landi árið 1995 að frumkvæði Náttúrufræðistofnunar Íslands. Síðan bættust Náttúrustofur og áhugamenn víða um land smám saman í hópinn. Þessir aðilar hafa sameinað krafta sína og safnað miklu gagnasafni sem gerir það mögulegt að vakta áhrif loftlagsbreytinga á lífríkið. Landbúnaðarháskólinn hóf þátttöku í fiðrildavöktuninni árið 2010. Gögn fyrstu þriggja áranna, 2010-2012 voru greind til tegunda í lokaverkefni Ástu Kristínu Guðmundsdóttur vorið 2013. Í þessari ritgerð eru gögn áranna 2013-2015 tegundagreind en jafnframt er heildarsýnasafnið 2010-2015 skoðað. Teknar voru fyrir sex algengustu tegundirnar og skoðaðar sveiflur milli ára, einnig voru þær bornar saman við þrjá veðurfarsþætti, hitastig, vind og úrkomu. Skoðað var hvaða áhrif breytingar á þessum þáttum hefðu á flugtíma og fjölda fiðrildanna. Tegundirnar þola mismiklar breytingar í veðurfari á mismunandi þroskastigum og á mismunandi tímum árs en sumar þola vel breytingar nema þegar veðrið versnar talsvert. Aðrar tegundir þoldu litlar breytingar ílla. Hitastig og úrkoma virðast vera meiri áhrifaþættir en vindur, einnig er kjörhitastig misjafnt milli tegunda og þola þær mismikið úrkomu, þar sem mikil aukning var í fjölda fiðrilda þá vikuna þrátt fyrir talsverða úrkomu, en öðrum tegundum fækkaði alltaf við mikla úrkomu og jafnvel stoppaði flugtímann það árið. Lykilorð: Fiðrildi, loftlagsbreytingar, lífríki, skordýr, veðurfar. IV Þakkir Ég vil þakka Önnu Guðrúnu Þórhallsdóttir leiðbeinanda mínum fyrir leiðbeiningu við skrif á ritgerðinni. Einnig vil ég þakka Ástu Kristínu Davíðsdóttir meðleiðbeinanda mínum fyrir að hjálpa mér og kenna mér að greina fiðrildin.

Jahrgang n Seiten 443–454 n Klagenfurt 2014 443 Rhigognostis scharnikensis sp. n., eine morphologisch und genetisch differenzierte neue Schmetterlingsart aus den Hohen Tauern (Lepidoptera, Plutellidae) Von Peter HUEMER, Christian WIESER & Marko MUTANEN Zusammenfassung Rhigognostis scharnikensis Huemer & Wieser, sp. n. wird aus der Kreuzeck­ gruppe (Irschen, Hohe Tauern, Kärnten) beschrieben und sowohl Falter als auch Genitalstrukturen beider Geschlechter werden abgebildet. Die neue Art steht genitalmorphologisch und im DNA Barcode R. senilella (Zetterstedt, 1839) am nächs­ ten, weist aber eine Reihe von diagnostischen morphologischen Merkmalen auf und eine genetische Distanz von 5,78 % zum nächsten Nachbarn. Als weitere ähnliche Art wird R. annulatella (Curtis, 1832) abgebildet und verglichen. Weiteres wird R. schmaltzella (Zetterstedt, 1839) erstmals für Italien gemeldet. Abstract Rhigognostis scharnikensis Huemer & Wieser, sp. n. is described from the Kreuzeck­group (Irschen, Hohe Tauern, Carinthia, Austria) and adult and genital structures of both sexes are figured. The new species is most similar to R. senilella (Zetterstedt, 1839) in the genitalia and in the DNA barcode. However, it differs in seve­ ral diagnostic morphological characters and in a barcode divergence of 5.78% to the nearest neighbour. As a further similar species R. annulatella (Curtis, 1832) is figured and compared. Moreover, R. schmaltzella (Zetterstedt, 1839) is firstly recorded for Italy. E i n l e i t u n g Die Schmetterlingsfauna Kärntens im Allgemeinen und jene der Ho- hen Tauern im Besonderen gelten durch intensive Bestrebungen der letz- ten 20 Jahre inzwischen als relativ gut erfasst (HUEMER & WIESER 2008, WIESER 2008).

  • The Host Specificity of the Candidate Biological Control Agent Diadromus Collaris (Gravenhorst) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)
    The host specificity of the candidate biological control agent Diadromus collaris (Gravenhorst) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) by Christine Cock A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE IN BIOLOGY CARLETON UNIVERSITY Ottawa, Ontario, Canada ©2018, Christine Cock Abstract Diadromus collaris (Gravenhorst) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae), a solitary pupal endoparasitoid of Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), is a candidate for introduction into Canada as a biological control agent. It is important to assess the parasitoid’s host specificity before its release. To maximize the wasp’s expressed host range, I tested five variables to determine which experimental conditions would motivate D. collaris to oviposit. Of these variables, wasp diet, exposure length, and the presence or absence of diamondback moth cocoons resulted in statistically significant differences in D. collaris emergence or diamondback moth mortality. To determine the parasitoid’s fundamental host range, I exposed pupae from eight species of non-target Lepidoptera to female D. collaris in a series of no-choice tests. Three species, Plutella armoraciae, Plutella porrectella, and Acrolepiopsis assectella, were suitable hosts for D. collaris development. The results from this study provide insight into the suitability of the parasitoid for introduction into Canada. ii Acknowledgements I would first like to thank my co-supervisors, Drs. Peter Mason and Naomi Cappuccino, for their guidance and support throughout this project. Their encouragement and expertise were invaluable. Thanks also to my committee member Dr. Risa Sargent for her input in the development of this project. Secondly I would like to extend my gratitude to all those in the Mason lab who contributed to my thesis over the last two years.

The Prairies Ecozone of southern Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta supports a diverse fauna, with 2,232 species of butterflies and moths (order Lepidoptera) recorded to date in 61 families. By far the best known Lepidoptera are the butterflies, with 177 species known to occur in the ecozone. The species known to occur in the Prairies Ecozone are listed by province. The Lepidoptera fauna of this ecozone is reviewed in terms of diversity, state of knowledge of the major groups, postglacial and relict patterns, recent changes in distribution, and endangered and threatened species.

Abstract. After 142 years, Plutella polaris Zeller, 1880 was rediscovered at Svalbard, Norway, in 2015. The locality and its vegetation are described. The specimen is the first female ever recorded, and its genitalia are illustrated. The taxonomic position of P. polaris relative to other Plutella Schrank, 1802 species in the North- ern hemisphere is discussed. Introduction In 1873, seven specimens of an unknown microlepidopteran species were collected by the ento- mologist Reverend A.E. Eaton at Wide Bay, Svalbard, Norway, between 21st July and 24th July. The specimens were subsequently handed over to Henry Tibbats Stainton, who at the time was Britain’s leading authority on Microlepidoptera. Stainton sent two of the males to his German col- league Philipp Christoph Zeller for his opinion. In a letter to Stainton dated May 29th 1874, Zeller described the species and named it Plutella polaris. Stainton (1880) later quoted Zeller’s original description and made it clear that the description was Zeller’s despite the fact that Stainton himself was the author of the paper (Stainton 1880) and so Zeller’s authorship retains the later date.
