    Bees in urban landscapes: An investigation of habitat utilization By Victoria Agatha Wojcik A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science, Policy, & Management in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Joe R. McBride, Chair Professor Gregory S. Biging Professor Louise A. Mozingo Fall 2009 Bees in urban landscapes: An investigation of habitat utilization © 2009 by Victoria Agatha Wojcik ABSTRACT Bees in urban landscapes: An investigation of habitat utilization by Victoria Agatha Wojcik Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science, Policy, & Management University of California, Berkeley Professor Joe R. McBride, Chair Bees are one of the key groups of anthophilies that make use of the floral resources present within urban landscapes. The ecological patterns of bees in cities are under further investigation in this dissertation work in an effort to build knowledge capacity that can be applied to management and conservation. Seasonal occurrence patterns are common among bees and their floral resources in wildland habitats. To investigate the nature of these phenological interactions in cities, bee visitation to a constructed floral resource base in Berkeley, California was monitored in the first year of garden development. The constructed habitat was used by nearly one-third of the locally known bee species. Bees visiting this urban resource displayed distinct patterns of seasonality paralleling those of wildland bees, with some species exhibiting extended seasons. Differential bee visitation patterns are common between individual floral resources. The effective monitoring of bee populations requires an understanding of this variability. To investigate the patterns and trends in urban resource usage, the foraging of the community of bees visiting Tecoma stans resources in three tropical dry forest cities in Costa Rica was studied.

Andrew N. Bubak1, Michael J. Watt2, Jazmine D. W. Yaeger3, Kenneth J. Renner3 and John G. Swallow4,* ABSTRACT Takahashi et al., 2012). In stalk-eyed flies, 5-HT appears to mediate Serotonin (5-HT) has largely been accepted to be inhibitory to appropriate behavioral responses upon perception of aggressive vertebrate aggression, whereas an opposing stimulatory role has signals (Bubak et al., 2014a). been proposed for invertebrates. Herein, we argue that critical gaps in 5-HT, 5-HT receptor structure and function, and the 5-HT our understanding of the nuanced role of 5-HT in invertebrate systems transporter (SERT), which removes 5-HT from the synaptic cleft to drove this conclusion prematurely, and that emerging data suggest a terminate 5-HT signaling (Fig. 1), are phylogenetically conserved previously unrecognized level of phylogenetic conservation with (Blenau and Baumann, 2001; Martin and Krantz, 2014). Despite this, respect to neurochemical mechanisms regulating the expression of 5-HT appears to play generally opposing roles in the generation of the aggressive behaviors. This is especially apparent when considering the complex behaviors associated with aggression in invertebrates and interplay among factors governing 5-HT activity, many of which share vertebrates (see Table S1). However, we propose that this seemingly functional homology across taxa. We discuss recent findings using contrasting role of 5-HT may be an overly simplistic generalization.

  • Eastern Tent Caterpillar, Forest Tent Caterpillar and Fall Webworm
    Eastern Tent Caterpillar, Forest Tent Caterpillar and Fall Webworm EASTERN TENT CATERPILLAR Eastern tent caterpillar, Malacosoma americanum, feeds on cherry, apple, and plum. Full-grown caterpillars are about 1.6 inches long. Coloration varies, but in general they have black heads, and bodies marked with a mid-dorsal white stripe down the length of the back. Blue dots separate successive pairs of yellow lateral stripes. The adult moths are light brown with two diagonal white stripes across the forewings. The caterpillars' silken tents are usually found in tree forks. The larvae lay trails of silk from the communal tent to wherever they are feeding. Long trails of larvae can be seen migrating along the silken path between the tent and leaves. Eggs are laid in masses on twigs. Egg masses can be pruned from twigs during the dormant season and destroyed. Caterpillars can be handpicked from the communal tents. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) should be used on flowering trees to control young caterpillars. Bt is not harmful to pollinating bees. FOREST TENT CATERPILLAR The forest tent caterpillar, Malacosoma disstria, feeds on water tupelo, sweetgum, blackgum, birch, elm, maple, oak and flowering fruit trees. Full-grown caterpillars are about 1.6 inches long with light blue heads and blackish bodies with white hairs. Each segment is marked dorsally with a white keyhole-shaped spot. The adult moths are buff colored, with two darker bands on the forewings. Caterpillars are present in early spring, and upon maturity construct cocoons from folded leaves. The adults emerge in late summer and lay eggs in brown masses that encircle twigs.

  • The Ecology of British Upland Peatlands: Climate Change, Drainage, Keystone Insects and Breeding Birds
    The ecology of British upland peatlands: climate change, drainage, keystone insects and breeding birds Matthew John Carroll PhD University of York Department of Biology September 2012 Abstract Northern peatlands provide important ecosystem services and support species adapted to cold, wet conditions. However, drainage and climate change could cause peatlands to become drier, threatening ecosystem functions and biodiversity. British blanket bogs occur towards the southern extent of northern peatlands and have been extensively drained, so present an excellent opportunity to examine climate change and drainage impacts. Craneflies (Diptera: Tipulidae) are a major component of upland peatland invertebrate communities and provide a key food resource to breeding birds. However, larvae are highly susceptible to desiccation, so environmental changes that dry peat surfaces could harm cranefly populations and, in turn, bird populations. This thesis aims to examine effects of soil moisture, drainage and climate change on craneflies, and the relationship between craneflies and birds. A large-scale field experiment showed that adult cranefly abundance increased with soil moisture. Areas with blocked drainage ditches showed significantly higher soil moisture and cranefly abundance than areas with active drainage. A model of monthly peatland water tables driven by simple climate data was developed. The model accurately predicted water table position, and predicted up to two thirds of water table variation over time. Performance declined when modelling drained sites. The water table model was combined with empirical relationships to model cranefly abundance under climate change. Falling summer water tables were projected to drive cranefly population declines. Drain blocking would increase abundance and slow declines, thus aiding population persistence.

Received: 19 October 2012; in revised form: 13 December 2012 / Accepted: 26 December 2012 / Published: 25 January 2013 Abstract: Wireworms (Coleoptera: Elateridae) are important soil dwelling pests worldwide causing yield losses in many crops. The progressive restrictions in the matter of efficient synthetic chemicals for health and environmental care brought out the need for alternative management techniques. This paper summarizes the main potential tools that have been studied up to now and that could be applied together in integrated pest management systems and suggests guidelines for future research. Keywords: wireworms; click beetles; Agriotes; integrated pest management 1. Introduction Wireworms are the larvae of click beetles (Coleoptera: Elateridae). They consist of more than 9,000 species distributed worldwide, [1] and some are important pests of a wide variety of crops, such as potato, cereals, carrot, sugar beet, sugarcane and soft fruits (e.g., [2±6]). In Europe, damages due to wireworm infestation are mainly attributed to the genus Agriotes Eschscholtz, as witnessed by the numerous studies aiming at their management.
