A Pictorial Guide to the Picture Wing Flies of Britain and Ireland Malcolm A Pictorial Guide to the Picture Wing Flies of Britain and Ireland Malcolm Storey Version: 20 July 2018 Introduction The picture wing flies (Diptera: Pallopteridae, Platystomatidae & Ulidiidae) are principally identified from their wing patterns which give most species a distinctive appearance. This makes them ideal for a pictorial guide. The species are presented in alphabetical order within their (alphabetically ordered) families. Equipment Used The photographs are of anaesthetised or freshly-killed picture-wing flies, posed on a glass microscope slide. Most were taken with a Canon 600D or 700D dSLR and Canon MP-E65 macro lens. Canon Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX electronic flash was used for illumination. The specimens were surrounded by a diffuser cut from the base of a polystyrene foam drinking cup to provide even illumination. The backgrounds are light grey card. Wings were photographed on a microscope slide against a white background with gentle shading provided by a paper tube. Some were mounted in fluid under a coverslip, but most were just in air. The images are “stacked” to attain the necessary depth of field without compromising resolution. In this technique multiple photos are taken at different levels, and then digitally combined (“stacked”) using special software: in the present case Zerene Stacker (http://zerenesystems.com/cms/stacker). Camera motion and shutter control was automated with a Cognisys StackShot rail (https://www.cognisys-inc.com/products/stackshot/stackshot. php). Acknowledgements I am very grateful for all the help and encouragement I received in my early days of stacking from Rik Littlefield, the author of Zerene Stacker.

  • Flies) Benjamin Kongyeli Badii
    Chapter Phylogeny and Functional Morphology of Diptera (Flies) Benjamin Kongyeli Badii Abstract The order Diptera includes all true flies. Members of this order are the most ecologically diverse and probably have a greater economic impact on humans than any other group of insects. The application of explicit methods of phylogenetic and morphological analysis has revealed weaknesses in the traditional classification of dipteran insects, but little progress has been made to achieve a robust, stable clas- sification that reflects evolutionary relationships and morphological adaptations for a more precise understanding of their developmental biology and behavioral ecol- ogy. The current status of Diptera phylogenetics is reviewed in this chapter. Also, key aspects of the morphology of the different life stages of the flies, particularly characters useful for taxonomic purposes and for an understanding of the group’s biology have been described with an emphasis on newer contributions and progress in understanding this important group of insects. Keywords: Tephritoidea, Diptera flies, Nematocera, Brachycera metamorphosis, larva 1. Introduction Phylogeny refers to the evolutionary history of a taxonomic group of organisms. Phylogeny is essential in understanding the biodiversity, genetics, evolution, and ecology among groups of organisms [1, 2]. Functional morphology involves the study of the relationships between the structure of an organism and the function of the various parts of an organism. The old adage “form follows function” is a guiding principle of functional morphology. It helps in understanding the ways in which body structures can be used to produce a wide variety of different behaviors, including moving, feeding, fighting, and reproducing. It thus, integrates concepts from physiology, evolution, anatomy and development, and synthesizes the diverse ways that biological and physical factors interact in the lives of organisms [3].

  • Wood As We Know It: Insects in Veteris (Highly Decomposed) Wood
    Chapter 22 It’s the End of the Wood as We Know It: Insects in Veteris (Highly Decomposed) Wood Michael L. Ferro Living trees are all alike, every decaying tree decays in its own way. —with apologies to Tolstoy Abstract The final decay stage of wood, termed veteris wood, is a dynamic habitat that harbors high biodiversity and numerous species of conservation concern and is vital for keystone and economically important species. Veteris wood is characterized by chemical and structural degradation, including absence of bark, oval bole shape, and invasion by roots, and includes red rot, mudguts, and sufficiently decayed wood in living trees and veteran trees. Veteris wood may represent up to 50% of the volume of woody debris in forests and can persist from decades to centuries. Economically important and keystone species such as the black bear [Ursus americanus (Pallas)] and pileated woodpecker [Dryocopus pileatus (L.)] are directly impacted by veteris wood. Nearly every order of insect contains members dependent on veteris wood, including species of conservation concern such as Lucanus cervus (L) (Lucanidae) and Osmoderma eremita (Scopoli) (Scarabaeidae). Due to the extreme time needed for formation, veteris wood may be of particular conservation concern. Veteris wood is ideal for research because invertebrates within it can be collected immediately after sampling. Imaging techniques such as Lidar, photogram- metry, and sound tomography allow for modeling the interior and exterior aspects of woody debris, including veteran trees, and, if coupled with faunal surveys, would make veteris wood and veteran trees some of the best understood keystone habitats.

  • There Are Over 7,000 Fly Species in the UK, and the Best Brownfields Can Support at Least One Thousand of These, Including an Exceptional Number of Scarce Species
    © Jamie Robins There are over 7,000 fly species in the UK, and the best brownfields can support at least one thousand of these, including an exceptional number of scarce species. Flies are an extremely diverse group with varied life cycles and can use many of the features within a brownfield habitat mosaic. However, flies are often overlooked and understudied, meaning the value of brownfields for flies, and their conservation needs, are often underestimated. The importance of brownfields for flies spp.), ragworts (Senecio spp.), knapweeds (Centaurea spp.) Fly assemblages can develop quickly on re-vegetating and wormwoods (Artemisia spp.). Some picture-winged flies brownfield land and can include an exceptional number of can attain unprecedented population levels on brownfields, scarce species. Surveys of the better sites suggest they are and including several species that were largely coastal a only rivalled by the best ancient woodlands or wetlands (Falk century ago. Other key phytophagous fly groups include 2010). This is related to the variety of both wet and dry, open Cheilosia hoverflies which use thistles, ragworts, hawkweeds and shady conditions that can be present, varied soil chemistry and the unusually large flora that can be associated with brownfields. Many plants on brownfields grow in higher Key groups of fly on brownfields densities than in natural habitats, while bare ground on brownfields heats up more quickly, helping to support unusual Picture-winged flies (Tepritidae, Ulidiidae), Hoverflies thermophilic flies that struggle to colonise cooler sites.

  • Spatial and Temporal Variability of Necrophagous Diptera from Urban to Rural Areas
    Medical and Veterinary Entomology (2005) 19, 379–391 Spatial and temporal variability of necrophagous Diptera from urban to rural areas C. HWANG1,3 andB. D. TURNER1,2 1Department of Life Sciences and 2Department of Forensic Science and Drug Monitoring, King’s College London, U.K. 3Department of Bioresources, Da-Yeh University, Da-Tsen, Chang-Hua County, Taiwan (current address). Abstract. The spatio-temporal variability of necrophagous fly assemblages in a linear series of habitats from central London to the rural surroundings in the south-west was studied using bottle traps between June 2001 and September 2002. A total of 3314 individuals in 20 dipteran families were identified from 127 sampling occasions. Calliphoridae accounted for 78.6% of all the dipteran speci- mens, with Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy, being the most abundant spe- cies (2603 individuals, 46.9%). Using canonical correspondence analyses (CCA) on 72 fly taxa, six sampled sites and 36 environmental variables, three habitat types corresponding to three groups of flies were identified. These were an urban habitat characterized by C. vicina, Lucilia illustris (Meigen) and L. sericata (Meigen), a rural grassland habitat, characterized by L. caesar (Linnaeus) and a rural woodland habitat characterized by Calliphora vomitoria (Linnaeus), Phaonia subventa (Harris), Neuroctena anilis (Falle´n) and Tephrochlamys flavipes (Zetterstedt). Intermediate species (L. ampullacea Villeneuve and P. pallida (Fabricius), located between the three habitats, were also found. Temporal abun- dance of the 10 most abundant species showed fluctuations between seasons, having low numbers of captured individuals during winter. Correspondence analysis showed clearly seasonal patterns at Box Hill site. The species–habitat associations suggest habitat differentiation between necrophagous guilds in this area and may be of ecological value.
