Blattodea, Mantodea, Phasmatodea,Orthoptera) of Texas INSECTA MUNDI, Vol. 15, No.1, March, 2001 35 Preliminary checklist of the orthopteroid insects (Blattodea, Mantodea, Phasmatodea,Orthoptera) of Texas John A. Stidham 301 Pebble Creek Dr., Garland, TX 75040 and Thomas A. Stidham Department of Integrative Biology, Museum of Paleontology, and Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, Abstract: Texas has one of the most diverse orthopteroid assemblages of any state in the United States, reflecting the varied habitats found in the state. Three hundred and eighty-nine species and 78 subspecies of orthopteroid insects (Blattodea, Mantodea, Phasmatodea, and Orthoptera) have published records for the state of Texas. This is the first such comprehensive checklist for Texas and should aid future work on these groups in this area. Introduction (Flook and Rowell, 1997). The species are listed alphabetically within families or subfamilies, and Overall, the orthopteroid fauna of North Amer­ therefore the alphabetical taxonomic listing does ica is fairly well known. However, details of the not imply any phylogenetic relationships within geographic distribution of many orthopteroid spe­ the subfamily or family. The reference for the cies in the U.S. are not well documented. We have published record is given after the species name compiled the published records of Texas ortho­ and authority. The alpha taxonomy is still unclear pteroids, as a basis for future study. Most of these for a few species included in this list, and therefore records have been confirmed through collections additional species may be added in the future as the made by the authors throughout Texas over the last number of taxa is clarified. This checklist is meant 20 years. The study of Texas orthopteroids began in to act as an aid to collectors, collection managers, the mid-nineteenth century and continues today field workers, and other researchers working on with 389 species currently recorded in the state. Texas orthopteroids. This places the Texan orthopteroid fauna as one of the most diverse of any state. There are 197 species The Orthopteroidea of Texas of grasshoppers known from Texas, compared to the over 200 species from California (Strohecker et Order Blattodea aI., 1968), though other orthopteroid groups are more diverse in Texas. The large number of species Farrrily Blattelidae is most likely related to the great variety of habitats found in Texas, from desert in the West, to high Blattella germanica (Linnaeus) (Hebard, 1943b) plains in the North, and subtropical climates in the Blattella uaga Hebard (Atkinson et aI., 1991) South.

  • THE QUARTERLY REVIEW of BIOLOGY
    VOL. 43, NO. I March, 1968 THE QUARTERLY REVIEW of BIOLOGY LIFE CYCLE ORIGINS, SPECIATION, AND RELATED PHENOMENA IN CRICKETS BY RICHARD D. ALEXANDER Museum of Zoology and Departmentof Zoology The Universityof Michigan,Ann Arbor ABSTRACT Seven general kinds of life cycles are known among crickets; they differ chieff,y in overwintering (diapause) stage and number of generations per season, or diapauses per generation. Some species with broad north-south ranges vary in these respects, spanning wholly or in part certain of the gaps between cycles and suggesting how some of the differences originated. Species with a particular cycle have predictable responses to photoperiod and temperature regimes that affect behavior, development time, wing length, bod)• size, and other characteristics. Some polymorphic tendencies also correlate with habitat permanence, and some are influenced by population density. Genera and subfamilies with several kinds of life cycles usually have proportionately more species in temperate regions than those with but one or two cycles, although numbers of species in all widely distributed groups diminish toward the higher lati­ tudes. The tendency of various field cricket species to become double-cycled at certain latitudes appears to have resulted in speciation without geographic isolation in at least one case. Intermediate steps in this allochronic speciation process are illustrated by North American and Japanese species; the possibility that this process has also occurred in other kinds of temperate insects is discussed. INTRODUCTION the Gryllidae at least to the Jurassic Period (Zeuner, 1939), and many of the larger sub­ RICKETS are insects of the Family families and genera have spread across two Gryllidae in the Order Orthoptera, or more continents.

Gurney, Division of Insect Identification Introduction In field work with the Mormon cricket (Anabrus simplex Hald.) and the coulee cricket (Peranabrus scabricollis (Thos.)), it is important to distinguish the two species from each other and from several allied genera and species of Orthoptera. In this paper identification keys, descriptions, notes on known distribution, and illustrations are presented for the purpose of aiding in the identification of these species. In some cases it is inm- possible at present to be sure whether certain specimens which have been studied represent two distinct species or whether they are subspecies of the same one. An attempt has been made to explain such difficulties, and to suggest what specimens will be most helpful in adding to our knowledge of the taxonomic position and geographical distribution of those forms. The principal genera discussed, in addition to the most important ones, Anabrus and Peranabrus, are Apote, Steiroxys, Pediodectes, and Eremopedes. The present paper will be more useful to field workers if a short time is given to studying identified material of several species, so that the important distinctions may be learned by comparison with specimens. The paper is the outgrowth of a study of collections made in 1938 by field work— ers in 10 Western States, who brought together large and important series of several species and genera. Caudell (1907) monographed the Decticinae of North America, and, as regards the species of immediate concern to the Mormon cricket problen, there have been few taxonomic changes.

L. Lindon, and J. A. Brazille Texas AgriLife Research 2301 Experiment Station Road Bushland, TX 79012 2008 Report Introductory Notes The invertebrate survey in 2008 presented an interesting challenge. Extremely dry conditions prevailed throughout most of the adult activity period for the invertebrates and grass fires occurred several times throughout the summer. By visual assessment, plant resources were scarce compared to last year, with few green plants and almost no flowering plants. Eight habitats and nine sites continued to be sampled in 2008. The Ponderosa pine/ yellow indiangrass site was removed from the study after the low numbers of species and individuals collected there in 2007. All other sites from the 2007 survey were included in the 2008 survey. We also discontinued the collection of Coccinellidae in the 2008 survey, as only 98 individuals from four species were collected in 2007. Pitfall and malaise trapping were continued in the same way as the 2007 survey. Sweep net sampling was discontinued to allow time for Asilidae and Orthoptera timed surveys consisting of direct collection of individuals with a net. These surveys were conducted in the same way as the time constrained butterfly (Papilionidea and Hesperoidea) surveys, with 15-minute intervals for each taxanomic group. This was sucessful when individuals were present, but the dry summer made it difficult to assess the utility of these techniques because of overall low abundance of insects.

  • Diverse Reproductive Barriers in Hybridising Crickets Suggests Extensive Variation in the Evolution and Maintenance of Isolation
    Evol Ecol (2013) 27:993–1015 DOI 10.1007/s10682-012-9610-2 ORIGINAL PAPER Diverse reproductive barriers in hybridising crickets suggests extensive variation in the evolution and maintenance of isolation Thor Veen • Joseph Faulks • Frances Tyler • Jodie Lloyd • Tom Tregenza Received: 5 July 2012 / Accepted: 21 September 2012 / Published online: 10 November 2012 Ó Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2012 Abstract Reproductive barriers reduce gene flow between populations and maintain species identities. A diversity of barriers exist, acting before, during and after mating. To understand speciation and coexistence, these barriers need to be quantified and their potential interactions revealed. We use the hybridising field crickets Gryllus bimaculatus and G. campestris as a model to understand the full compliment and relative strength of reproductive barriers. We find that males of both species prefer conspecific females, but the effect is probably too weak to represent a barrier. In contrast, prezygotic barriers caused by females being more attracted to conspecific male song and preferentially mounting and mating with conspecifics are strong and asymmetric. Postzygotic barriers vary in direction; reductions in fecundity and egg viability create selection against hybridisation, but hybrids live longer than pure-bred individuals. Hybrid females show a strong preference for G. bimaculatus songs, which together with a complete lack of hybridisation by G. campestris females, suggests that asymmetric gene flow is likely. For comparison, we review repro- ductive barriers that have been identified between other Gryllids and conclude that multiple barriers are common. Different species pairs are separated by qualitatively different Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s10682-012-9610-2) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

  • INTRODUCTION This Catalog Presents the Archived Documentation Files for the Datasets Currently in the Konza Prairie LTER Site Database
    INTRODUCTION This catalog presents the archived documentation files for the datasets currently in the Konza Prairie LTER site database. These datasets are affiliated with LTER scientists associated with the Konza Prairie LTER research program from 1981 to 1992. The purpose of this catalog is to assist scientists in the analysis and synthesis of this database. In addition to this catalog, a detailed methods manual documents the procedures used in collecting these data sets. The design of the current Konza Prairie LTER database is straightforward. All data sets are in ASCII format (with exception of GIS coverages; See GIS01). The entire database is available at: http://www.konza.ksu.edu. The database is divided into subgroups. The subgroups correspond to the research groups that have developed on Konza or represents the data set. They are: Abiotic, Belowground, Consumer, Nutrient, Organic, Other, and Woody. The first letter of the data set code indicates which subgroup the file is in. The extension of the file name represents the year of the data set. For example the data set associated with prairie precipitation for 1986 (data set code APT01), is found in the subgroup abiotic under the file name of apt011.86. Data sets that do not conform to this naming procedure are listed in the abstract section of their corresponding data set code description. For the most part, these data sets involve data that comes from other sources than LTER investigators (e.g. USGS flow data or NADP). The subgroup woody contains the files of the dataset code PWV01.The subgroup Other is reserved for datasets that do not conform to the naming procedures (for now, datasets from the water supplementation experiment (WAT01) are here).

Historically, morphological traits have been used to examine the relationships of distantly related taxa with global distributions. The use of such traits, however, may be misleading and may not provide the resolution needed to distinguish various hypotheses that may explain the distribution patterns of widely distributed taxa. One such taxon, the Oedipo- dine grasshoppers, contains two tribes principally defined by wing morphologies: the Bry- odemini have broad wings whereas Sphingonotini are narrow-winged. Through the use of morphological features alone, hypotheses concerning the evolution of these tribes cannot be distinguished. To differentiate hypotheses that may explain the distribution of Oedipo- dines, such as vicariance, natural dispersal and anthropogenic translocation, we used two mitochondrial and three nuclear gene fragments to reconstruct the phylogenetic relation- ships within and between the two tribes, and employed a molecular clock to evaluate the hypotheses of vicariance and dispersal. Our results clearly reject monophyly of the tribes and revealed monophyletic Old and New World clades, which is in agreement with previ- ous molecular studies. The split between both clades was dated at 35 Ma (±12 Ma). This clearly rejects the vicariance hypothesis and supports a single invasion via the Beringian land bridge.

Ten species fall into these three species groups: exigua trigonidiine genus Anaxipha (OSFO 2013), but Otte & Perez-Gelabert group (exigua Say, scia Hebard and n. spp. thomasi, tinnulacita, tinnulenta, (2009, p. 127) suggest that the genus is "in serious need of revi- and tinnula); delicatula group (delicatula Scudder and vernalis n. sp.); litarena sion" and that "the taxonomy of the Trigonidiinae as a whole is in a group (litarena Fulton and rosamacula n.sp.).
