It is my great pleasure to welcome you all to the Joint Annual Meeting (JAM) of the Entomological Societies of British Columbia (ESBC) and Canada (ESC). The theme of this year‟s meeting is “communication” and the Local Organizing Committee has worked hard to facilitate all types of communication at this meeting. The Coast Plaza Hotel is an excellent venue to support our scientific and social sessions. The program is rich with varied symposia, contributed oral and poster presentations and outstanding student contributions. Connection with friends and colleagues is easy when you are dressed in your finest insect-themed Halloween costume! Staging a national meeting is the result of hard work from many dedicated volunteers. I would like to thank all of the volunteers for the many hours they contributed to hosting this meeting. Particular thanks go to Bill Riel (General Meeting Chair) and Tom Lowery (ESBC President) for their leadership roles and to Ward Strong and Vince Nealis who put together the stimulating scientific program. I am sure you will have a productive, informative and enjoyable meeting in Vancouver 2010. Maya Evenden, ESC President Mot de bienvenue du président de la Société d’entomologie du Canada Bienvenue à Vancouver 2010! J‟ai le grand plaisir de vous souhaiter la bienvenue à la réunion annuelle conjointe (RAC) des sociétés d‟entomologie de Colombie-Britannique (SECB) et du Canada (SEC). Le thème de la réunion de cette année est la communication, et le comité d‟organisation local a travaillé très dur pour faciliter tous types de communication pendant la réunion. L‟hôtel Coast Plaza est un lieu de réunion formidable pour nos sessions scientifiques et sociales. Le programme est truffé de symposia variés, de présentations orales et sous forme de poster, et de contributions étudiantes exceptionnelles. Il est facile d‟interagir avec amis et collègues quand on porte son plus beau costume d‟insecte pour Halloween! L‟organisation d‟une réunion nationale est possible grâce au dévouement de beaucoup de volontaires. J‟aimerais remercier tous les volontaires pour les nombreuses heures qu‟ils ont dévoué à la réussite de cette réunion. Je remercie tout particulièrement Bill Riel (responsable principal de la réunion) et Tom Lowery (président de la SECB) pour leurs rôles de leaders, ainsi que Ward Strong et Vince Nealis qui ont mis sur pied un programme scientifique exaltant. Je suis sûr que vous aurez une réunion productive, instructive et agréable à Vancouver 2010. Maya Evenden, présidente de la SEC 3 President’s Greeting, Entomological Society of British Columbia On behalf of the Entomological Society of British Columbia, I am pleased to welcome you to the Joint Annual Meeting of the Entomological Societies of Canada and British Columbia. The theme of this years‟ Annual General Meeting is „Communication‟. One might think that advances in electronic communication in its various forms would have reduced the importance of these meetings, but I believe that the opposite is true. Just as honeybees need to participate in the waggle dance in order to fully interpret the message, it is necessary on occasion to get out of the office and meet other researchers face-to-face. I‟m certain that all of us have benefited from a talk or poster that we did not initially intend to see. Informal settings undoubtedly foster an exchange of information and greater collaboration. We hope that this meeting provides an opportunity for you to communicate with colleagues in an enjoyable and stimulating environment. Hosting a national meeting of this size requires a large commitment of time from numerous members of the host society. I would like to acknowledge this collective effort and especially thank Bill Riel, Conference Organizing Committee Chair and Conference Treasurer; Ward Strong, Scientific Program Committee Chair; Sheila Fitzpatrick, Local Arrangements Committee Chair; and Jim Corrigan, Program Committee Chair. I hope that you enjoy this 2010 Annual General Meeting and your stay in Vancouver. Tom Lowery President of ESBC Mot de bienvenue du président de la Société d’entomologie de Colombie-Britannique Au nom de la société d‟entomologie de Colombie-Britannique, j‟ai le plaisir de vous souhaiter la bienvenue à la réunion annuelle conjointe des sociétés d‟entomologie du Canada et de Colombie-Britannique. Le thème de la réunion de cette année est la communication. On pourrait penser que les progrès en matière de communication éléctronique auraient diminué l‟importance de ces réunions. Je pense que le contraire est vrai. Il est parfois nécessaire de sortir du bureau pour rencontrer d‟autres chercheurs en personne, de la même façon que les abeilles ont besoin de participer à une danse en rond pour décripter un message. Je suis sûr que chacun d‟entre nous a pu bénéficier d‟une présentation orale ou d‟un poster qu‟il n‟a pas eu l‟intention de voir initialement. Les cadres informels favorisent sans aucun doute l‟échange d‟information et les collaborations multiples. Nous espérons que cette réunion vous permettra de communiquer avec des collègues dans une ambiance agréable et stimulante. La préparation d‟une réunion annuelle de cette ampleur nécessite un grand engagement en matière de temps de nombreux membres de la société hôte. J‟aimerais souligner cet effort collectif, et remercier tout particulièrement Bill Riel, responsable du comité d‟organisation et trésorier de la conférence, Ward Strong, responsable du programme scientifique, Sheila Fitzpatrick, responsable du comité d‟infrastructure locale, et Jim Corrigan, responsable du comité des programmes. J‟espère que vous profiterez pleinement de cette réunion annuelle et de votre séjour à Vancouver. Tom Lowery président de la SECB 4 Greetings from the Chair of the 2010 JAM On behalf of the 2010 organizing committee I wish to welcome you to Vancouver and to thank you for making the effort to attend the 2010 JAM! We have worked hard to bring you an exciting scientific program, delicious West Coast fare and an entertaining social program in the best setting we could find. We hope that, in addition to enjoying all that the conference has to offer, you will take an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful city of Vancouver as you catch up with friends and acquaintances. Sadly, this year we are missing two pillars of the British Columbia entomological community. This past year, both Rex Kenner and Terry Shore passed away unexpectedly, and their personal and professional contributions are sorely missed. It is to them that we dedicate this conference. Please set aside a moment this week and join me in a toast to the memory of these outstanding men. They would have liked nothing more than for us to have the best time imaginable at this meeting; doing so is a fitting tribute to their lives and their accomplishments. I sincerely hope that you have a wonderful conference and a fantastic time in Vancouver. Bill Riel Conference Chair Mot de bienvenue du président de la RAC 2010 Au nom du comité d‟organisation 2010, je vous souhaite la bienvenue à Vancouver, et vous remercie d‟avoir fait l‟effort d‟assister à la RAC 2010! Nous avons travaillé très dur pour vous apporter un programme scientifique palpitant, des plats de la côte-ouest délicieux, et des activités sociales dans le plus beau décor disponible. Nous espérons qu‟en plus de profiter des événements liés à la conference, vous saisirez l‟occasion de profiter de la belle ville de Vancouver en renouant avec vos amis et connaissances. Cette année, deux piliers de l‟entomologie colombo-britannique sont malheureusement absents. Rex Kenner et Terry Shore sont decédés soudainement cette année, et leurs contributions personnelles et professionnelles sont grandement manquées. Nous leur dédions cette conférence. Comme moi, je vous invite cette semaine à prendre un moment pour boire à la santé de ces deux hommes exceptionnels.

  • Global Transcriptome Analysis of Orange Wheat Blossom Midge, Sitodiplosis Mosellana
    Global Transcriptome Analysis of Orange Wheat Blossom Midge, Sitodiplosis mosellana (Gehin) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) to Identify Candidate Transcripts Regulating Diapause Zhong-Jun Gong, Yu-Qing Wu*, Jin Miao, Yun Duan, Yue-Li Jiang, Tong Li Institute of Plant Protection, Henan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Key Laboratory of Crop Pest Control of Henan Province, Key Laboratory of Crop Integrated Pest Management of the Southern of North China, Ministry of Agriculture of the People’s Republic of China, Zhengzhou, China Abstract Background: Many insects enter a developmental arrest (diapause) that allows them to survive harsh seasonal conditions. Despite the well-established ecological significance of diapause, the molecular basis of this crucial adaptation remains largely unresolved. Sitodiplosis mosellana (Gehin), the orange wheat blossom midge (OWBM), causes serious damage to wheat throughout the northern hemisphere, and sporadic outbreaks occur in the world. Traits related to diapause appear to be important factors contributing to their rapid spread and outbreak. To better understand the diapause mechanisms of OWBM, we sequenced the transcriptome and determined the gene expression profile of this species. Methodology/Principal Findings: In this study, we performed de novo transcriptome analysis using short-read sequencing technology (Illumina) and gene expression analysis with a tag-based digital gene expression (DGE) system. The sequencing results generated 89,117 contigs, and 45,713 unigenes. These unigenes were annotated by Blastx alignment against the NCBI non-redundant (nr), Clusters of orthologous groups (COG), gene orthology (GO), and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) databases. 20,802 unigenes (45.5% of the total) matched with protein in the NCBI nr database.

Data concerning distribution, type species or type genus, designation, incorrect spelling and emendation, preoccupation and replacement names, synonyms and homonyms, nomina nuda, and rejected names are given. Several new combinations and synonyms are provided. Key words: Sesioidea, systematics, taxonomy, zoogeographic regions. Introduction: Almost 25 years have passed since HEPPNER & DUCKWORTH (1981) published their 'Classification of the Superfamily Sesioidea'. In the meantime great progress has been made in the investigation and classification of the family Sesiidae (clearwing moths). Important monographs covering the Palearctic and Nearctic regions, and partly South America or South-East Asia have been made available (EICHLIN & DUCKWORTH 1988, EICHLIN 1986, 1989, 1995b and 1998, ŠPATENKA et al. 1999, KALLIES & ARITA 2004), and numerous descriptions of new taxa as well as revisions of genera and species described by earlier authors have been published, mainly dealing with the Oriental region (ARITA & GORBUNOV 1995c, ARITA & GORBUNOV 1996b etc.).

But in the hours spent away from our hives, thousands of tiny miracles are happening everyday. Within the hexagonal wax cells little lives are hatching out and joining the hive family. The whole process from egg to adult worker bee takes around 18 days. During the laying season late spring to summer the Queen bee is capable of laying over eggs per day. Her worker bees help direct her to the best prepared comb and she lays a single egg in each hexagon shaped cell. The size of the cell prepared determines the type of egg she lays. If the worker bees have prepared a worker size cell, she Life Cycles: Egg to Bee lay a fertilized egg. This egg will produce a female worker bee. If the worker bees have prepared a slightly larger cell, the queen will recognize this as a drone cell and lay an unfertilized egg. This will produce a male drone bee. It is the workers and not the queen that determine the ratio of workers to drones within the hive. In three days the egg hatches and a larva emerges. It looks very similar to a small maggot.
