Capital-Breeding Lepidoptera
VOLUME 59, NUMBER 3 143 Journal of the Lepidopterists’ Society 59(3), 2005, 143–160 EXTRINSIC EFFECTS ON FECUNDITY-MATERNAL WEIGHT RELATIONS IN CAPITAL-BREEDING LEPIDOPTERA WILLIAM E. MILLER Department of Entomology, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, Minnesota 55108 USA email: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Capital-breeding Lepidoptera depend for reproduction on metabolic resources assembled either entirely or primarily by their larvae, the former termed 'perfect' the latter 'imperfect'. Empirical evidence suggests that maternal size determines capi- tal-breeder fecundity. The fecundity-maternal size relation is usually formulated as F = bW + a, where F is fecundity, W is final ma- ternal size in units such as weight of newly transformed pupae, b is the slope, and a the intercept. Exhaustive search yielded 71 fe- cundity-maternal pupal weight relations for 41 capital breeders in 15 families, 58 of which, including 2 previously unpublished, were based on individual specimens, and 13 on grouped specimens. In 22 individual-specimen relations, cohorts divided into 2 or more subgroups were reared simultaneously at different temperatures, on different diets, or exposed to other extrinsic factors. These 22 'multiform' relations were compared with 36 'uniform' relations, and where possible cohort subgroups were compared. Pupal weights of cohort subgroups were affected much oftener than underlying slopes and intercepts. Individual-specimen slopes based on transformed data ranged 0.52-2.09 with a mean and standard error of 1.13±0.04, and slopes did not differ significantly among perfect, imperfect, multiform, and uniform categories. Despite the evident similarity, one relation does not apply to all capital breed- ers. -
Sociality in Caterpillars: Investigations Into the Mechanisms Associated with Grouping Behaviour, from Vibroacoustics to Sociogenomics
Sociality in Caterpillars: Investigations into the Mechanisms Associated with Grouping Behaviour, from Vibroacoustics to Sociogenomics by Chanchal Yadav A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy in Biology Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2020, Chanchal Yadav Abstract Social grouping is widespread among larval insects, particularly in a number of phytophagous larval Lepidoptera (caterpillars). Although the benefits of social grouping are widely recognized, the proximate mechanisms mediating grouping behaviour, such as group formation and maintenance, are poorly understood. My Ph.D. thesis takes a pioneering approach to understanding these mechanisms, specifically, by studying the roles of vibroacoustics and sociogenomics, using the masked birch caterpillar, Drepana arcuata (Lepidoptera: Drepanoidea), as a model. There are two main objectives of my thesis - (i) to test the hypothesis that caterpillars employ plant-borne vibratory signals to recruit conspecifics to social groups; and (ii) to test the hypothesis that differential gene expression is associated with developmental transitions from social to solitary behavioural states. For the first objective, I documented morphological and behavioural changes in the larvae, showing that there are five larval instars, and developmental changes in social and signalling behaviour. Specifically, early instars (I, II) live in small social groups, and late instars (IV, V) live solitarily, with third instars (III) being transitional. Instars I-III generate four signal types (AS, BS, MS, MD), instars IV, V generate three signals (AS, MS, MD). I then used an experimental approach to test if early instars employ vibrations during social recruitment, and found that vibratory signals are used to advertise feeding and silk shelters, leading to recruitment, with higher signalling rates resulting in faster joining times by conspecifics. -

FROM SOUTHERN ROMANIA Mirela CEAN Central Phytosanitary Laboratory, 11 Blvd, Voluntari, Ilfov County, 077190, Romania Corresponding author email: [email protected] Abstract Holocacista rivillei Stainton is an European grapevine leafminer distributed in southern Europe and western Asia (Nieukerken et al., 2012). This small butterfly was described from Malta and is considered a minor pest in vineyards being a monophagous species. Another two lepidopteran leafminers occur in European vineyards, both species being originated from North America, i.e. Antispila oinophylla van Nieukerken&Wagner, 2012 (Lepidoptera: Heliozelidae) and Phyllocnistis vitegenella Clemens, 1859 (Lepidoptera:Gracilariidae). Few years ago mines in grapevine leaves were observed in a vineyard located in southern part of the country (Voluntari, Ilfov county). The leaves with symptoms were collected and larvae were reared in laboratory to obtain adults. Identification of the species was done based on their morphological characteristics. Photographs of mines, adults, pupae and genitalia slides are here showed. Preliminary observation on the behavior of this pest are reported. Key words: moth, mines, vineyard, genitalia, Antispila oinophilla, Phyllocnistis vitegenella. INTRODUCTION Family: Antispila (Antispila metallella Denis&Schiffermüller, -

Dai ([email protected]) Editors: M.-X. Ren & J. López-Pujol Received 3 October 2014; accepted 12 January 2015 Abstract INFLUENCES OF LEAF-MINING INSECTS ON THEIR HOST PLANTS: A REVIEW.— Leaf-mining insects are an herbivore group whose larvae live and feed inside plant leaves. Leaf mines are distinct marks on leaves and can provide much information on insect-plant relationships. Most leaf miners are monophagous or oligophagous. Therefore ecologists and paleon- tologists use them to study interactions and coevolution among plants, insects and natural enemies. There are many different types of leaf-mining patterns on plant leaves, which may have different impacts on host plants. Compared with ectophagous herbivores, leaf-mining insects should have unique influences on host plant characteristics, such as leaf morphology, leaf chemistry, plant physiology, plant growth and production. Obvious impacts include leaf asymmetry, callus formation, photosynthesis, and green islands. Types and degrees of such influences are varied for different leaf miner species or different host plant species. In turn, the change of plant features may have positive or negative impacts on oviposition and feeding of leaf-mining insects.
