The spectral sensitivity of a photoreceptor is principally determined by the absorption spectrum of the expressed visual pigment, but it can be modified by various optical and electrophysiological factors. For example, screening and filtering pigments, rhabdom waveguide properties, retinal structure, and neural processing all influence the perceived color signal.

  • 'Genome to Paddock' Approach to Control Plant Disease
    PLENARY 1 – DANIEL MCALPINE MEMORIAL LECTURE A ‘genome to paddock’ approach to control plant disease 1 Barbara Howlett 1. University of Melbourne, Melbounre, VIC, Australia Pathogenic fungi evolve in concert with their plant hosts to invade and overcome defence responses. A detailed knowledge of these processes is essential for successful disease management strategies. Blackleg caused by the fungus, Leptosphaeria maculans, is the major disease of canola worldwide. In this lecture I describe how field data, such as disease incidence and severity, coupled with information about the biology, molecular genetics and genomics of the blackleg fungus has been exploited to control this important disease. Field populations of Leptosphaeria maculans can evolve and overcome disease resistance bred into canola within three years of commercial release of a cultivar. The risk of breakdown of resistance can be determined by monitoring disease severity of canola cultivars and changes in virulence of fungal populations using high throughput molecular assays that are based on sequences of avirulence genes. Farmers can avoid a predicted epidemic by sowing canola cultivars with different resistance genes in subsequent years. This strategy has been exploited in Australia and has averted substantial yield losses due to disease.

One important foundation for the conservation of biodiversity on islands is an inventory of endemic species. In the absence of a comprehensive inventory, conservation effort often defaults to a focus on the better-known and more conspicuous species (typically mammals and birds). Although this component of island biota often needs such conservation attention, such focus may mean that less conspicuous endemic species (especially invertebrates) are neglected and suffer high rates of loss. In this paper, we review the available literature and online resources to compile a list of endemic species that is as comprehensive as possible for the 137 km2 oceanic Christmas Island, an Australian territory in the north-eastern Indian Ocean.

  • Coleoptera from the Middle-Upper Eocene European Ambers: Generic Composition, Zoogeography and Climatic Implications
    Zootaxa 4290 (3): 401–443 ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) http://www.mapress.com/j/zt/ Article ZOOTAXA Copyright © 2017 Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.4290.3.1 http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:CF4550B2-72EC-45C7-A156-542D76E28EB4 Coleoptera from the middle-upper Eocene European ambers: generic composition, zoogeography and climatic implications VITALII I. ALEKSEEV Department of Zootechny, Kaliningrad State Technical University, Sovetsky Avenue 1. 236000, Kaliningrad, Russia. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The paper contains a review of coleopteran genera known from Baltic, Bitterfeld and Rovno amber localities. Altogether 420 genera (191 extinct and 229 extant) from 78 families are listed from these three Lagerstätten (as of 7 March 2017). The listed beetles were analyzed zoogeographically and distributional maps for 72 genera were compiled. One-quarter (56) of the genera that have survived since the Eocene have cosmopolitan ranges at present; 35 extant genera have been extripated from the Palaearctic since the Eocene. Approximately 40% of beetle genera from the middle-upper Eocene Eu- ropean ambers can be encountered in the wild in present-day Europe, while 5 of these genera are supposed to be European relict endemics originating in Fennosarmatia. The general similarity of the Baltic amber (s.l.) beetle assemblage to modern south Palaearctic fauna is the strongest, the Nearctic elements are more numerous in the middle-upper Eocene European ambers than the Oriental taxa. The simplified Mutual Climatic Range (MCR) method was used for palaeoclimate recon- struction based on fossil beetles. The coleopteran assemblage of Baltic amber is interpreted as indicative of warm temper- ate, humid, equable climate with reduced thermal seasonality [annual average temperatures range from +10–20˚C; mean of the coldest month temperatures around +10˚C; mean of the hottest month temperature around +20–24˚C; annual pre- cipitation around 750–1500 mm].
