  • Spatial Vision in Band-Winged Grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Oedipodinae)
    Spatial vision in band-winged grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Oedipodinae) A Senior Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Department of Organismal Biology and Ecology, Colorado College By Alexander B. Duncan Bachelor of Arts Degree in Organismal Biology and Ecology May, 2017 Approved by: _________________________________________ Dr. Nicholas Brandley Primary Thesis Advisor ________________________________________ Dr. Emilie Gray Secondary Thesis Advisor ABSTRACT Visual acuity, the ability to resolve fine spatial details, can vary dramatically between and within insect species. Body-size, sex, behavior, and ecological niche are all factors that may influence an insect’s acuity. Band-winged grasshoppers (Oedipodinae) are a subfamily of grasshoppers characterized by their colorfully patterned hindwings. Although researchers have anecdotally suggested that this color pattern may attract mates, few studies have examined the visual acuity of these animals, and none have examined its implications on intraspecific signaling. Here, we compare the visual acuity of three bandwing species: Dissosteira carolina, Arphia pseudonietana, and Spharagemon equale. To measure acuity in these species we used a modified radius of curvature estimation (RCE) technique. Visual acuity was significantly coarser 1) in males compared to females, 2) parallel to the horizon compared to the perpendicular, and 3) in S. equale compared to other bandwings. Unlike many insect families, body size within a species did not correlate with visual acuity. To examine the functional implications of these results, we modeled the appearance of different bandwing patterns to conspecifics. These results suggest that hind- wing patterning could only be used as a signal to conspecifics at short distances (<50cm). This study furthers the exploration of behavior and the evolution of visual systems in bandwings.

    Invertebrate Distribution and Diversity Assessment at the U. S. Army Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site A report to the U. S. Army and U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service G. J. Michels, Jr., J. L. Newton, H. 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.

  • 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).

  • Effects of Livestock Grazing on Aboveground Insect Communities In
    Biodiversity and Conservation (2006) 15:2547–2564 Ó Springer 2006 DOI 10.1007/s10531-005-2786-9 -1 Effects of livestock grazing on aboveground insect communities in semi-arid grasslands of southeastern Arizona SANDRA J. DEBANO Department of Entomology, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky 40546-0091, USA; Present address: Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, Oregon State University, Hermiston Agricultural Research and Extension Center, P.O. Box 105, Hermiston, Oregon 97838-7100, USA (e-mail: [email protected]; phone: +001-541-567-6337; fax: +001-541-567-2240) Received 22 June 2004; accepted in revised form 14 February 2005 Key words: Arizona, Grasslands, Insect communities, Insect conservation, Livestock grazing Abstract. Despite the importance of invertebrates in grassland ecosystems, few studies have examined how grassland invertebrates have been impacted by disturbances in the southwestern United States. These grasslands may be particularly sensitive to one common disturbance, livestock grazing, because they have not recently evolved in the presence of large herds of bison, an important mammalian herbivore. This study examined how livestock grazing influenced vegetation- associated insect communities in southeastern Arizona. Insect abundance, richness, diversity, community composition, and key environmental variables were compared between sites on active cattle ranches and sites on a 3160 ha sanctuary that has not been grazed by cattle for over 25 years. Vegetation-associated insect communities were found to be sensitive to livestock grazing. Overall abundance of these insects was lower on grazed grasslands, and certain insect orders appeared to be negatively affected by livestock grazing; beetles were less rich, flies were less diverse, and Hymenoptera were less rich and diverse on grazed sites.

  • Orthoptera, Acrididae, Oedipodinae) Reveal Convergence of Wing Morphology
    Zoologica Scripta Phylogenetic analyses of band-winged grasshoppers (Orthoptera, Acrididae, Oedipodinae) reveal convergence of wing morphology MARTIN HUSEMANN,SUK NAMKUNG,JAN C. HABEL,PATRICK D. DANLEY &AXEL HOCHKIRCH Submitted: 17 September 2011 Husemann, M., Namkung, S., Habel, J.C., Danley, P.D. & Hochkirch, A. (2012).

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.

    ARIZONA WILDLIFE CONSERVATION ARIZONA WILDLIFE NOTEBOOK GARRY ROGERS Praise for Arizona Wildlife Notebook “Arizona Wildlife Notebook” by Garry Rogers is a comprehensive checklist of wildlife species existing in the State of Arizona. This notebook provides a brief description for each of eleven (11) groups of wildlife, conservation status of all extant species within that group in Arizona, alphabetical listing of species by common name, scientific names, and room for notes. “The Notebook is a statewide checklist, intended for use by wildlife watchers all over the state. As various individuals keep track of their personal observations of wildlife in their specific locality, the result will be a more selective checklist specific to that locale. Such information would be vitally useful to the State Wildlife Conservation Department, as well as to other local agencies and private wildlife watching groups. “This is a very well-documented snapshot of the status of wildlife species – from bugs to bats – in the State of Arizona. Much of it should be relevant to neighboring states, as well, with a bit of fine-tuning to accommodate additions and deletions to the list. “As a retired Wildlife Biologist, I have to say Rogers’ book is perhaps the simplest to understand, yet most comprehensive in terms of factual information, that I have ever had occasion to peruse. This book should become the default checklist for Arizona’s various state, federal and local conservation agencies, and the basis for developing accurate local inventories by private enthusiasts as well as public agencies. "Arizona Wildlife Notebook" provides a superb starting point for neighboring states who may wish to emulate Garry Rogers’ excellent handiwork.

Many species are phytophagous, feeding directly on plants; filling the primary consumer role of moving energy stored in plants to organisms that are unable to digest plant material (Triplehorn and Johnson 2005). Insects are responsible for a majority of the pollination that occurs and pollination relationships between host plant and pollinator can be very general with one pollinator pollinating many species of plant or very specific with both the plant and the pollinator dependant on each other for survival (Triplehorn and Johnson 2005). Insects can be mutualist, commensal, parasitic or predatory to the benefit or detriment
