  • Stick Insects Fact Sheet
    Stick Insects Fact Sheet Female Titan Stick Insect. Image: QM, Jeff Wright. Introduction Biology Stick and leaf insects, scientifically known as phasmids, Females lay eggs one at a time, often with a flick of their are among the largest of all insects in the world. At 26 cm, abdomens to throw the egg some distance. An individual the Titan Stick Insect (Acrophylla titan) is the longest of female drops eggs at a rate of one to several per day and all Australian insects. Phasmids have perfected the art of she can produce between 100 and 1,300 eggs in her life- camouflage. Some resemble sticks and foliage so closely time. They fall to the ground and lie in the leaf litter. they even feature false buds, thorns and ragged leaf-like flanges. Small wonder they are rarely seen except after storms when they are blown out of threes and shrubs. Phasmids are sometimes confused with a different group of insects, the mantids. Also called Praying Mantids, these are predators with large, spiny front legs, held folded ready to strike and grasp prey. In contrast, Phasmids are herbivores (plant-eaters) with simple front legs that are similar in size and structure to their other legs. A variety of insect eggs. (on left). An ant carrying a stick insect egg (on right). Images: QM, Jeff Wright. All stick insects feed on fresh leaves. Some browse on a wide variety of trees and shrubs but others are fussy, eating only a limited range of host plants that are often closely Stick insect eggs are generally oval, and superficially seed- related to each other.

  • A New Black Baryancistrus with Blue Sheen from the Upper Orinoco (Siluriformes: Loricariidae)
    Copeia 2009, No. 1, 50–56 A New Black Baryancistrus with Blue Sheen from the Upper Orinoco (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) Nathan K. Lujan1, Mariangeles Arce2, and Jonathan W. Armbruster1 Baryancistrus beggini, new species, is described from the upper Rı´o Orinoco and lower portions of its tributaries, the Rı´o Guaviare in Colombia and Rı´o Ventuari in Venezuela. Baryancistrus beggini is unique within Hypostominae in having a uniformly dark black to brown base color with a blue sheen in life, and the first three to five plates of the midventral series strongly bent, forming a distinctive keel above the pectoral fins along each side of the body. It is further distinguished by having a naked abdomen, two to three symmetrical and ordered predorsal plate rows including the nuchal plate, and the last dorsal-fin ray adnate with adipose fin via a posterior membrane that extends beyond the preadipose plate up to half the length of the adipose-fin spine. Se describe una nueva especie, Baryancistrus beggini, del alto Rı´o Orinoco y las partes bajas de sus afluentes: el rı´o Guaviare en Colombia, y el rı´o Ventuari en Venezuela. Baryancistrus beggini es la u´ nica especie entre los Hypostominae que presenta fondo negro oscuro a marro´ n sin marcas, con brillo azuloso en ejemplares vivos. Las primeras tres a cinco placas de la serie medioventral esta´n fuertemente dobladas, formando una quilla notable por encima de las aletas pectorales en cada lado del cuerpo. Baryancistrus beggini se distingue tambie´n por tener el abdomen desnudo, dos o tres hileras de placas predorsales sime´tricas y ordenadas (incluyendo la placa nucal) y el u´ ltimo radio de la aleta dorsal adherido a la adiposa a trave´s de una membrana que se extiende posteriormente, sobrepasando la placa preadiposa y llegando hasta la mitad de la espina adiposa.

  • Panaque (Panaque), with Descriptions of Three New Species from the Amazon Basin (Siluriformes, Loricariidae)
    Copeia 2010, No. 4, 676–704 Revision of Panaque (Panaque), with Descriptions of Three New Species from the Amazon Basin (Siluriformes, Loricariidae) Nathan K. Lujan1, Max Hidalgo2, and Donald J. Stewart3 The Panaque nigrolineatus group (subgenus Panaque) is revised; three nominal species—P. cochliodon, P. nigrolineatus, and P. suttonorum—are redescribed and three new species are described. Panaque armbrusteri, new species, is widespread in the Tapajo´ s River and its tributaries in Brazil and is distinguished by having a supraoccipital hump, higher numbers of jaw teeth and an ontogenetic increase in interpremaxillary and intermandibular tooth-row angles, relatively short paired-fin spines, and dorsal margin of infraorbital six flared laterally. Panaque schaeferi, new species, is widespread in main-channel habitats of the upper Amazon (Solimo˜es) River basin in Brazil and Peru; it is distinguished by having a coloration consisting of dark or faded black spots evenly distributed on a pale gray to brown base, and by its large adult body size (.570 mm SL). Panaque titan, new species, is distributed in larger, lowland to piedmont rivers of the Napo River basin in Ecuador, and is distinguished by having a postorbital pterotic region bulged beyond the ventral pterotic margin, coloration consisting of irregular and widely spaced dark gray to brown stripes on light brown to tan base, and large adult body size (.390 mm SL). A relatively large pterotic, indicative of an enlarged gas bladder and gas bladder capsule, and allometric increases in tooth number are hypothesized to be synapomorphies uniting members of the subgenus Panaque. Se reviso´ el grupo Panaque nigrolineatus (subge´nero Panaque); se redescriben tres especies nominales—P.

  • MSG NL 27 (October 2007).Pdf
    ISSN 1364-3193 Mantis Study Group Newsletter 27 October 2007 Editorial – P.E. Bragg. Welcome to the final MSG Newsletter – at least the final one of this series. The previous Newsletter, volume 26, was issued in August 2003. No more articles were received for publication after that date and with no Newsletters being produced, the Mantis Study Group effectively ceased to exist. In producing this Newsletter, I am not attempting a revival: the opposite is closer to the truth. This issue is intended to update a few previously published items, and to bring the publication to a conclusion by issuing an index to all the previous Newsletters. My thanks go to the 48 contributors to the Newsletters. There is a larger interest in mantids than ever before, judging by the numbers sold at exhibitions in the UK. A much wider range of species is available than when the MSG started in 1996. Over the past four years several people have raised the possibility of re-launching the MSG. A common theme in the suggestions has been to use the internet as a platform. That is rather ironic because, to some extent, the spread of the internet and availability of information on the net was responsible for the demise of the Newsletter; as information became more readily available there was less incentive for people to join the MSG, and less incentive for people to write articles for the Newsletter. The cost of printing and postage means that any revitalisation of the MSG will undoubtedly be internet based. The Newsletter was always short of illustrations, because it could only accommodate black and white drawings, but the internet, coupled with easy access to digital cameras, means that colour photographs can be issued, effectively at zero cost.

  • Production of Aphanius Mento (Heckel, 1843) Under Controlled Conditions
    Aquaculture, Aquarium, Conservation & Legislation OPEN ACCESS International Journal of the Bioflux Society Research Article Production of Aphanius mento (Heckel, 1843) under controlled conditions 1Soner Sezen, 2Murtaza Olmez 1 Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock Mediterranean Fisheries Research Production and Training, Antalya, Turkey. 2 Suleyman Demirel University Egirdir Fisheries Faculty, Isparta, Turkey. Abstract. In this study, it was aimed to determine the adaptation capability to controlled conditions, reproductive behaviors, and production of Aphanius mento caught from Kirkgoz Springs, Antalya. Fish material for broodstock were caught using fine mesh tulle net and bag net with 2.5 mm mesh size. Twenty five female and 10 male breeding fish acclimated to experimental conditions in Aquarium Department Unit of Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock Mediterranean Fisheries Research Production and Training Institute were spawned by providing egg collec- tors to the tank. Aphanius mento eggs were spherical, transparent and sticky. Examination with the microscope revealed that the eggs were full of pale yellow egg yolk with 7-8 lipid droplets and had fibrous sticking filaments on the surface. The average egg diameter was 1.59±0.50 mm (n=8). Hatching were observed at 11th day at 22.5±1.0ºC water temperature whereas at 8th day at 27.0±0.45ºC. Total length of newly hatched larvae was 5.1±0.07 mm, and swimming were competed at 4th day. Average size of one-week larvae was 5.6±0.2 mm. At this stage fins were fully developed, the larvae were able to swim freely and take exogenous food. Mean length of the fish was 2.7±0.2 cm on 7th month and a ju- venile fish had an appearance of morphologically mature fish.

  • Karyological Analysis of Some Species of Aphanius (Osteichthyes: Cyprinodontidae) from Anatolia
    Pakistan J. Zool., vol. 46(5), pp. 1271-1275, 2014. Karyological Analysis of Some Species of Aphanius (Osteichthyes: Cyprinodontidae) From Anatolia Muhammet Gaffaroğlu1, Muradiye Karasu Ayata1*, Sevgi Ünal2 and Mustafa Özkan1 1Department of Biology, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Ahi Evran University, 40100 Kırşehir, Turkey 2Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Gazi University, 06100 Ankara, Turkey Abstract.- In this study, chromosomal studies were carried out on four species of the genus Aphanius (Osteichthyes, Cyprinodontidae). Metaphase chromosomes were obtained from kidney cells. The diploid chromosome numbers of Aphanius anatoliae, A. danfordii, A. splendens and A. villwocki were 2n=48, and consisted of three pairs of submetacentric and 21 pairs of subtelocentric chromosomes. The arm number (NF) was 54. Constitutive heterochromatin regions were observed on the centromeres of chromosomes in all four species by using C-banding. Nucleolus organizer regions (NOR) were observed on the short arms of two pairs of chromosomes. It is believed that the data obtained will make a contribution to fish cytogenetics. Key words: Aphanius, chromosome, C-banding, NOR INTRODUCTION There has been no a detailed study on the cytogenetic features of these species although only haploid chromosome number has been reported in The family Cyprinodontidae is distributed A. anatoliae (Öztan, 1954; Wildekamp, 1993). throughout the United States, Africa, Southern The purpose of this study is to reveal the Europe and Asia. It is represented by a genus in our chromosomal features (with Giemsa, Ag-NOR country (Geldiay and Balık, 2007). The genus staining and C-banding) of four species (A. Aphanius Nardo, 1827 has 10 species in Anatolia.
