  • Underwater Breathing: the Mechanics of Plastron Respiration
    J. Fluid Mech. (2008), vol. 608, pp. 275–296. c 2008 Cambridge University Press 275 doi:10.1017/S0022112008002048 Printed in the United Kingdom Underwater breathing: the mechanics of plastron respiration M. R. FLYNN† AND J O H N W. M. B U S H Department of Mathematics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139-4307, USA (Received 11 July 2007 and in revised form 10 April 2008) The rough, hairy surfaces of many insects and spiders serve to render them water-repellent; consequently, when submerged, many are able to survive by virtue of a thin air layer trapped along their exteriors. The diffusion of dissolved oxygen from the ambient water may allow this layer to function as a respiratory bubble or ‘plastron’, and so enable certain species to remain underwater indefinitely. Main- tenance of the plastron requires that the curvature pressure balance the pressure difference between the plastron and ambient. Moreover, viable plastrons must be of sufficient area to accommodate the interfacial exchange of O2 and CO2 necessary to meet metabolic demands. By coupling the bubble mechanics, surface and gas-phase chemistry, we enumerate criteria for plastron viability and thereby deduce the range of environmental conditions and dive depths over which plastron breathers can survive. The influence of an external flow on plastron breathing is also examined. Dynamic pressure may become significant for respiration in fast-flowing, shallow and well-aerated streams. Moreover, flow effects are generally significant because they sharpen chemical gradients and so enhance mass transfer across the plastron interface. Modelling this process provides a rationale for the ventilation movements documented in the biology literature, whereby arthropods enhance plastron respiration by flapping their limbs or antennae.

    STUDIES ON THE FAUNA OF SURINAME AND OTHER GUYANAS: No. 40. Notonectidae of Suriname with additional records of other neotropical species by N. Nieser (Zoologisch Laboratorium, Utrecht) The material studied was mainly collected by Drs. P. H. VAN in DOESBURG, Jr. during his stay Surinam and during a visit to Venezuela. In addition, specimens from the Western Hemisphere brought together in the Rijksmuseum at Leiden by various collectors in and some samples taken Surinam by Dr. P. WAGENAAR HUM- MELINCK have been studied. Some specimens in the author’s col- lection, with unknown collector were also examined. The has been Na- material deposited at the Rijksmuseum van tuurlijke Historie at Leiden (LM); the Zoologisch Museum at Utrecht (UM) and the collection of the author (N). The collection of Drs. P. H. VAN DOESBURG now belongs to the Leiden Museum and is consequently indicated LM too. The author is indebted to Drs. VAN DOESBURG (Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden) for allowing him to study his fine collection and the materials in the Leiden Museum of which he is in charge, and to Dr. WAGENAAR HUMMELINCK for further material. Both have read the manuscript critically and provided valuable suggestions for its completion. The Notonectidae can be distinguished from other families of Hemiptera- Heteropteraby the following characteristics: Antennae shorter than the rostrum head not head; eyes prominent; 4-segmented; fused with prothorax, without ocelli. Abdomen higher than wide, without respiratory funnel, with a ventral median carina laterally beset with hairs (in Buenoa sometimes few). The animals are aquatic raptorial insects and swim ontheir backs.

  • Studies on the Genitalia of Some Aquatic and Semi-Aquatic Heteroptera
    Studies on the Genitalia of some Aquatic and Semi-Aquatic Heteroptera By B. KUMAR lDeparlmenl of Zoolog-.". Birla College. Pilani. Rajasthan, India) Introduction and Acknowledgementr Genitalia of aquatic Heteroptera have attracted the attention of many workers and there are several valuable works concerning them. Particular mention may be made here of the studies of Pruthi (1925), Larsen (1938), Truxal (1952) and Scudder (1959). But a need for further study of these organs becomes apparent due to their taronomic value. Present paper deals rvith the study of genitalia in twelve families of aquatic and semi-aquatic Heteroplera and their bearing on the classification. The study reveals many inleresting facts hitherto unknown. The author wishes to express his gratitude to Dr. lI. C. Parsons (Canada) for kindly donating many of the otherwise unavailable specimens used in the present study. Grateful thanks are also due to l{r. R. J. lzzard of British \luseunl (Natural History) London for identifying some of the specimens used in the presenl work. Dr. A. K. Datta has given many helpful suggestions itr these invesligations for which the author feels indebted.

Brigham, Lawrence M. Page, John D. Unzicker Mark J. Wetzel, Warren U. Brigham, Donald W. Webb, and Liane Suloway INTRODUCTION Aquatic macroinvertebrates are primary and secondary level consumers that play an important role in transferring energy through the different trophic levels of the food chains of aquatic ecosystems. These animals feed upon submerged and emergent macrophytes, plankton, and organic material suspended in the water column. Burrowing and feeding activities aid in the decomposition of plant and animal matter and the eventual recycling of nutrients. In addition, these organisms prey upon each other and serve as food for fishes, certain birds, and other animals. In general, aquatic macroinvertebrates have not been systematically surveyed in Illinois, and rarely have individual species been studied ecologically. This is due, in part, to the inconspicuous nature of most freshwater inverte- brates and the many taxonomic problems which preclude distributional, ecologi- cal, and other studies.

  • This Table Contains a Taxonomic List of Benthic Invertebrates Collected from Streams in the Upper Mississippi River Basin Study
    This table contains a taxonomic list of benthic invertebrates collected from streams in the Upper Mississippi River Basin study unit as part of the USGS National Water Quality Assessemnt (NAWQA) Program. Invertebrates were collected from woody snags in selected streams from 1996-2004. Data Retreival occurred 26-JAN-06 11.10.25 AM from the USGS data warehouse (Taxonomic List Invert http://water.usgs.gov/nawqa/data). The data warehouse currently contains invertebrate data through 09/30/2002. Invertebrate taxa can include provisional and conditional identifications. For more information about invertebrate sample processing and taxonomic standards see, "Methods of analysis by the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Quality Laboratory -- Processing, taxonomy, and quality control of benthic macroinvertebrate samples", at << http://nwql.usgs.gov/Public/pubs/OFR00-212.html >>. Data Retrieval Precaution: Extreme caution must be exercised when comparing taxonomic lists generated using different search criteria. This is because the number of samples represented by each taxa list will vary depending on the geographic criteria selected for the retrievals. In addition, species lists retrieved at different times using the same criteria may differ because: (1) the taxonomic nomenclature (names) were updated, and/or (2) new samples containing new taxa may Phylum Class Order Family Subfamily Tribe Genus Species Taxon Porifera Porifera Cnidaria Hydrozoa Hydroida Hydridae Hydridae Cnidaria Hydrozoa Hydroida Hydridae Hydra Hydra sp.

SGMA seeks to achieve sustainability, which is defined as the absence of several undesirable results, including “depletions of interconnected surface water that have significant and unreasonable adverse impacts on beneficial users of surface water” (Water Code §10721). The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a science-based, nonprofit organization with a mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Like humans, plants and animals often rely on groundwater for survival, which is why TNC helped develop, and is now helping to implement, SGMA. Earlier this year, we launched the Groundwater Resource Hub, which is an online resource intended to help make it easier and cheaper to address environmental requirements under SGMA. As a first step in addressing when depletions might have an adverse impact, The Nature Conservancy recommends identifying the beneficial users of surface water, which include environmental users. This is a critical step, as it is impossible to define “significant and unreasonable adverse impacts” without knowing what is being impacted. To make this easy, we are providing this letter and the accompanying documents as the best available science on the freshwater species within the boundary of your groundwater sustainability agency (GSA).

INTRODUCTION Ce document présente une liste des punaises trouvées dans le territoire du Québec et ses régions adjacentes. Elle résulte d’une revue de la littérature entomologique, d’un inventaire de collections appartenant à des organismes publics et à des entomologistes et d’une recherche sur internet. Provancher fut le premier à publier, de 1885 à 1890, un ouvrage d’identification des punaises pour le Canada, mais il donne très peu d’information sur la répartition des espèces. Uhler (1917) cite 163 espèces pour la province et 286 autres dans les régions adjacentes. Fournier (1950) mentionne que Moore (1950) catalogua 560 espèces et variétées. Hutchinson (1979), en se basant seulement sur la littérature entomologique, produisit une liste préliminaire de 101 punaises aquatiques et subaquatiques du Québec, mais cette liste comporte de nombreuses erreurs. Larochelle (1984) publia un important ouvrage d’identification sur les punaises terrestres du Québec, rapportant 488 espèces; en outre, il annexe une liste de 283 espèces et sous-espèces pouvant se rencontrer dans la province.

McPherson I ABSTRACT The life history of Neop/ea striola was studied in southern Illinois during 1983-1985. This apparently univoltine species overwintered as adults and became active in early March. First instars appeared in mid-May followed by marked overlapping of the subsequent instars. No active adults were found after November. The pygmy backswimmer Neop/ea striola (Fieber) occurs in America north of Mexico from Florida north to Ontario, west to Manitoba, south to Texas, and east to Florida (Sanderson 1982); it has also been reported from Utah (Drake and Chapman 1953). In Illinois. it ha'i been recorded only from the northern 112 of the state (Lauck 1959).
