FAMILY CHRYSOMELIDAE (Leaf Beetles) FAMILY CHRYSOMELIDAE (Leaf beetles) L. LeSage This family is one of the largest group of beetles worldwide with over 50,000 known species and many additional thousands to be discovered especially from Asia and the Neotropics; 566 species and subspecies are listed here for Canada and Alaska. All known adults are phytophagous. Primitive plants and ferns are utilized infrequently and conifers are barely touched; deciduous trees, bushes and weeds are preferred host plants. Some species are pollen eaters in the adult stage. Larvae show a broader ecological diversity: Donaciinae are aquatic; Clytrinae live in ant nests where they feed on plant detritus and on ant larvae or pupae; most Cryptocephalinae feed on decaying matter in leaf litter; Criocerinae, Chlamisinae, Chrysomelinae and Cassidinae and some Galerucinae and Alticinae feed on leaves in the open; those in remaining subfamilies are either root feeders, root miners, stem miners, or leaf miners. The Chrysomelidae are usually classified into 19 subfamilies (Seeno & Wilcox 1982) of which 14 occur in Canada. The leaf-beetle fauna is relatively well-known in eastern Canada (except some alticine, galerucine, and cryptocephaline genera) but is poorly known for western Canada. The present list follows essentially the arrangement proposed by Seeno and Wilcox (1982) except where the generic concepts have been recently modified.

  • Working List of Prairie Restricted (Specialist) Insects in Wisconsin (11/26/2015)
    Working List of Prairie Restricted (Specialist) Insects in Wisconsin (11/26/2015) By Richard Henderson Research Ecologist, WI DNR Bureau of Science Services Summary This is a preliminary list of insects that are either well known, or likely, to be closely associated with Wisconsin’s original native prairie. These species are mostly dependent upon remnants of original prairie, or plantings/restorations of prairie where their hosts have been re-established (see discussion below), and thus are rarely found outside of these settings. The list also includes some species tied to native ecosystems that grade into prairie, such as savannas, sand barrens, fens, sedge meadow, and shallow marsh. The list is annotated with known host(s) of each insect, and the likelihood of its presence in the state (see key at end of list for specifics). This working list is a byproduct of a prairie invertebrate study I coordinated from1995-2005 that covered 6 Midwestern states and included 14 cooperators. The project surveyed insects on prairie remnants and investigated the effects of fire on those insects. It was funded in part by a series of grants from the US Fish and Wildlife Service. So far, the list has 475 species. However, this is a partial list at best, representing approximately only ¼ of the prairie-specialist insects likely present in the region (see discussion below). Significant input to this list is needed, as there are major taxa groups missing or greatly under represented. Such absence is not necessarily due to few or no prairie-specialists in those groups, but due more to lack of knowledge about life histories (at least published knowledge), unsettled taxonomy, and lack of taxonomic specialists currently working in those groups.

For example, screening and filtering pigments, rhabdom waveguide properties, retinal structure, and neural processing all influence the perceived color signal.

  • Beetle Chrysomela Populi
    Tissue-Specific Transcript Profiling for ABC Transporters in the Sequestering Larvae of the Phytophagous Leaf Beetle Chrysomela populi Anja S. Strauss1., Ding Wang1., Magdalena Stock1., Rene´ R. Gretscher1, Marco Groth2, Wilhelm Boland1, Antje Burse1* 1 Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology, Beutenberg Campus, Hans-Knoell-Str. 8, D-07745 Jena, Thuringia, Germany, 2 Leibniz Institute for Age Research – Fritz Lipmann Institute, Beutenbergstr. 11, D-07745 Jena, Thuringia, Germany Abstract Background: Insects evolved ingenious adaptations to use extraordinary food sources. Particularly, the diet of herbivores enriched with noxious plant secondary metabolites requires detoxification mechanisms. Sequestration, which involves the uptake, transfer, and concentration of occasionally modified phytochemicals into specialized tissues or hemolymph, is one of the most successful detoxification strategies found in most insect orders. Due to the ability of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) carriers to transport a wide range of molecules including phytochemicals and xenobiotics, it is highly likely that they play a role in this sequestration process. To shed light on the role of ABC proteins in sequestration, we describe an inventory of putative ABC transporters in various tissues in the sequestering juvenile poplar leaf beetle, Chrysomela populi. Results: In the transcriptome of C. populi, we predicted 65 ABC transporters. To link the proteins with a possible function, we performed comparative phylogenetic analyses with ABC transporters of other insects and of humans. While tissue- specific profiling of each ABC transporter subfamily suggests that ABCB, C and G influence the plant metabolite absorption in the gut, ABCC with 14 members is the preferred subfamily responsible for the excretion of these metabolites via Malpighian tubules.
