Für beide Arten der Phaeomyiidae gibt es keine Funde nach 1990, bei den Sciomyzidae fehlen solche fur neun Arten. Sechs Spezies werden erstmals für Mecklenburg-Vorpommern genannt. Unberücksichtigt blieben die unrevidierten Angaben von R a d d a t z (1873). Eine Übersicht über die Fauna der Nachbarregionen und eine Zusammenstellung über den zeitlichen Nachweis in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern werden präsentiert. Summary To the knowledge of snail flies of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Diptera, Phaeomyiidae, Sciomyz­ idae). - Confirmed records of two species of Phaeomyiidae and 43 species of Sciomyzidae in Mecklenburg- Vorpommern are presented. Records come from the revised coll. K etel (Kassebeer 2000a, 2000b), the revision of the coll. Hainm üller and personal collections. Both species of Phaeomyiidae as well as nine species of Sciomyzidae had not been recorded since 1990. Six species of Sciomyzidae are recorded from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern for the first time. The unconfirmed records by R a d d a t z (1873) were not taken into account. Additionally records of the species from neighbouring regions as well as a summary of the times when the species were recorded are presented. 1. Einleitung ritz-Museum Waren.

  • Insect Egg Size and Shape Evolve with Ecology but Not Developmental Rate Samuel H
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1302-4 Insect egg size and shape evolve with ecology but not developmental rate Samuel H. Church1,4*, Seth Donoughe1,3,4, Bruno A. S. de Medeiros1 & Cassandra G. Extavour1,2* Over the course of evolution, organism size has diversified markedly. Changes in size are thought to have occurred because of developmental, morphological and/or ecological pressures. To perform phylogenetic tests of the potential effects of these pressures, here we generated a dataset of more than ten thousand descriptions of insect eggs, and combined these with genetic and life-history datasets. We show that, across eight orders of magnitude of variation in egg volume, the relationship between size and shape itself evolves, such that previously predicted global patterns of scaling do not adequately explain the diversity in egg shapes. We show that egg size is not correlated with developmental rate and that, for many insects, egg size is not correlated with adult body size. Instead, we find that the evolution of parasitoidism and aquatic oviposition help to explain the diversification in the size and shape of insect eggs. Our study suggests that where eggs are laid, rather than universal allometric constants, underlies the evolution of insect egg size and shape. Size is a fundamental factor in many biological processes. The size of an 526 families and every currently described extant hexapod order24 organism may affect interactions both with other organisms and with (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Fig. 1). We combined this dataset with the environment1,2, it scales with features of morphology and physi- backbone hexapod phylogenies25,26 that we enriched to include taxa ology3, and larger animals often have higher fitness4.

  • De Slakkendodende Vlieg Anticheta Atriseta in Nederland Gevonden (Diptera: Sciomyzidae)
    de slakkendodende vlieg ANTICHETA ATRISETA in nederland gevonden (diptera: sciomyzidae) Robert Ketelaar, Elias de Bree & Aat Barendregt Veel slakkendodende vliegen zijn vrij kleine, onopvallende vliegjes die in het veld niet snel worden opgemerkt. Malaisevallen zijn dan een effectieve vangstmethode. Bij het systematisch doorzoeken van het verzamelde materiaal onder een binoculair worden dit soort vliegjes nu eenmaal sneller ontdekt. Op deze wijze vonden wij de voor Nederland nieuwe slakkendodende vlieg Anticheta atriseta in het Korenburgerveen bij Winterswijk. Dat de soort juist hier is gevonden is geen toeval, want uit veldonderzoek is gebleken dat dit gebied zeer rijk is aan slakkendodende vliegen.

  • Predator to Prey to Poop: Bats As Microbial Hosts and Insectivorous Hunters
    Predator to Prey to Poop: Bats as Microbial Hosts and Insectivorous Hunters A Thesis SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Miranda Galey IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE Dr. Ron Moen, Dr. Jessica R. Sieber September 2020 Copyright © Miranda Galey 2020 Abstract Bat fecal samples are a rich source of ecological data for bat biologists, entomologists, and microbiologists. Feces collected from individual bats can be used to profile the gut microbiome using microbial DNA and to understand bat foraging strategies using arthropod DNA. We used eDNA collected from bat fecal samples to better understand bats as predators in the context of their unique gut physiology. We used high through- put sequencing of the COI gene and 16S rRNA gene to determine the diet composition and gut microbiome composition of three bat species in Minnesota: Eptesicus fuscus, Myotis lucifugus and M. septentrionalis. In our analysis of insect prey, we found that E. fuscus consistently foraged for a higher diversity of beetle species compared to other insects. We found that the proportional frequency of tympanate samples from M. septentrionalis and M. lucifugus was similar, while M. septentrionalis consistently preyed more often upon non-flying species. We used the same set of COI sequences to determine presence of pest species, rare species, and insects not previously observed in Minnesota. We were able to combine precise arthropod identification and the for- aging areas of individually sampled bats to observe possible range expansion of some insects. The taxonomic composition of the bat gut microbiome in all three species was found to be consistent with the composition of a mammalian small intestine.

  • Sciomyzidae Recording Scheme
    Sciomyzidae Recording Scheme Newsletter 3: September 2003 Introduction This Newsletter gives news of progress with the Sciomyzidae Recording Scheme, includes a summary of currently available identification literature that can be used to determine the British species and announces a call in for available records prior to the production of a new identification guide to the British and Irish fauna. The Sciomyzidae Recording Scheme covers the 68 species of Sciomyzidae (67 species in Chandler, 1998 plus one added since by Cole, 2003) recorded from Britain and Ireland, plus the two species of Pelidnoptera now included in the Phaeomyiidae. The latter (Pelidnoptera fuscipennis and P. nigripennis) were formerly included as a subfamily of the Sciomyzidae, but Griffiths (1972) elevated the group to family status as part of a detailed phylogenetic study of the Diptera Cyclorrhapha using characters of the male genitalia. Additional evidence that supports the family status of the Phaeomyiidae has been obtained by Vala et al. (1990) who discovered that Pelidnoptera nigripennis has larvae that are specialist parasitoids of millipedes, whereas the larvae of all Sciomyzidae that have been reared feed on molluscs.

  • Biology and Immature Stages of the Clam-Killing Fly, Renocerapallida
    Eur. J.Entomol. 100: 143-151, 2003 ISSN 1210-5759 Biology and immature stages of the clam-killingRenocerapallida fly, (Diptera: Sciomyzidae) Jana HORSÁKOVÁ Department of Zoology and Ecology, Faculty of Science, Masaryk University, Kotlářská 2,611 37 Brno, Czech Republic; e-mail: [email protected] Key words. Sciomyzidae, Renocerapallida, clam-killing fly, rearing, life-cycle, egg, larva, puparium, morphology Abstract. The larva of the Palaearctic Renocera pallida (Fallen, 1820) is confirmed as a predator of small species of bivalve mol­ luscs of the family Sphaeriidae. To date only the larvae of three Nearctic Renocera species (and larvae of two other species of Scio­ myzidae in two genera) are known to have the same food preference. The life cycle, biology, larval feeding and behaviour are described for the first time and compared with that of the Nearctic Renocera. The systematic position and biology of Renocera in general are discussed. Descriptions of the egg, second and third larval instars and the puparium of R. pallida are presented, the main features of the egg and larvae are illustrated by scanning electron micrographs. INTRODUCTION T. valida Loew, 1862 in North America (Trelka & Foote, Since the first modern publication on the biology of 1970); T. data (Fabricius, 1781) and perhaps also larvae of Sciomyzidae by Berg (1953), the natural food Euthycera chaerophylli (Fabricius, 1798) in the and life cycles of about 200 species have been Palaearctic (Knutson et al., 1965) are specialized determined. Almost all the larvae reared are predators or parasitoids/predators on various slugs. Apparently only parasitoids of terrestrial or aquatic gastropods, or con­ the primitive Salticella fasciata (Meigen, 1830), is able to sume snail eggs.

  • Elucidating Key Aspects of the Biology of Select Species of Snail-Killing Flies (Diptera: Sciomyzidae) in Oregon
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Fares Alzahrani for the degree of Master of Science in Crop Science on July 15, 2019. Title: Elucidating Key Aspects of the Biology of Select Species of Snail-killing Flies (Diptera: Sciomyzidae) in Oregon. Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Rory J. McDonnell Members of the family Sciomyzidae, known as snail-killing or marsh flies, are unique amongst insects in that the vast majority of reared species feed exclusively on mollusks and as a result their biological control potential has been well documented in the scientific literature. However, in North America there is a lack of information on many aspects of the biology and behavior of these flies which has hampered their consideration and use as biological control agents of pest gastropods. This knowledge gap provided the incentive for this thesis which focused on two species, namely Tetanocera obtusifibula and Sepedon fuscipennis. The specific aims were to 1) determine if neonate larvae of T. obtusifibula can follow fresh snail mucus trails; 2) investigate the effect of temperature (10°C, 15°C, 20°C, ~4°C and outdoors) on the survival of unfed neonate T. obtusifibula larvae; and 3) elucidate the flight behavior of an adult sciomyzid fly for the first time using S. fuscipennis as the target species. The trail following bioassays were conducted on filter paper Y mazes, and significantly (P<0.05) more larvae displayed a positive response i.e. moved fully into the trail arm (73.9%) than a non-response i.e. did not trail follow (26.1%). Of those that displayed a positive response, 60% followed the trail to the end and 40% followed the mucus at least to the midpoint.

Larvae of snail-killing Pherbellia, Hoplodictya, Neolimnia Dichetophora, flies are predators or parasitoids of molluscs; Sepe- Elgiva, Limnia, Pherbina, Psacadina and some don knutsoni and Sepedonella nana use freshwater Tetanocera [8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19] oligochaetes for their larval development [1]. species are usually predators and attack aquatic nonoperculate whose larvae attack aquatic molluscs are usually pulmonate snails slightly submerged in shallow and predators feeding on several prey [1, 2, 3].

  • Slakkendodende Vliegen Van Het Genus Anticheta in Nederland
    slakkendodende vliegen van het genus ANTICHETA in nederland, met twee soorten nieuw voor de fauna (diptera: sciomyzidae) Aat Barendregt, Joop Prijs en Jan Velterop Slakkendodende vliegen zijn nog relatief slecht onderzocht in ons land, zeker de kleine soorten. De vertegenwoordigers van het genus Anticheta zijn kleine vliegjes, waarvan slechts twee soorten uit ons land bekend waren. Uitgebreider onderzoek, zowel in collecties als in het veld, heeft twee nieuwe soorten voor de fauna aan het licht gebracht: Anticheta nigra en A. obliviosa. Van de eerste soort waren wereldwijd slechts acht exemplaren bekend. opgenomen is in de tabel van Revier & Van der inleiding Goot (1989). Een recente analyse van al het Vertegenwoordigers van het genus Anticheta beschikbare materiaal uit Nederland levert vele Haliday, 1838 zijn kleine slakkendodende vliegjes nieuwe waarnemingen op, met daarbij twee van 3-5 mm groot. Alle soorten zijn zeldzaam in soorten nieuw voor onze fauna: Anticheta nigra heel Europa (Greve & Djursvoll 2005) en ook in Karl, 1921 en A. obliviosa Enderlein, 1939. Nederland zijn de soorten nauwelijks aangetroffen (De Jong & Van Zuijlen 1992). In de Nederlandse herkenning naamlijst (Beuk & Van der Goot 2002) worden Anticheta analis (Meigen, 1830) en A. brevipennis Binnen het tribus Tetanocerini is het genus (Zetterstedt, 1846) vermeld. In de ons omringende Anticheta te onderscheiden door de twee borstels landen komen nog drie andere soorten uit het vlak voor de top van de achterschenen, het tweede genus voor: Uit Groot-Brittannië (Chandler 1998), antennelid dat hoogstens 1/3 zo lang is als het Duitsland (Stuke 2005) en Denemarken (Rozkoš- derde lid, het ontbreken van vleugelvlekken en de ný 1984) zijn Anticheta atriseta (Loew, 1849) en wangen die smaller zijn dan de lengte van het A.

  • Widespread and Persistent Invasions of Terrestrial Habitats Coincident With
    Chapman et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2012, 12:175 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/12/175 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Widespread and persistent invasions of terrestrial habitats coincident with larval feeding behavior transitions during snail-killing fly evolution (Diptera: Sciomyzidae) Eric G Chapman1, Andrey A Przhiboro2, James D Harwood1, Benjamin A Foote3 and Walter R Hoeh3* Abstract Background: Transitions in habitats and feeding behaviors were fundamental to the diversification of life on Earth. There is ongoing debate regarding the typical directionality of transitions between aquatic and terrestrial habitats and the mechanisms responsible for the preponderance of terrestrial to aquatic transitions. Snail-killing flies (Diptera: Sciomyzidae) represent an excellent model system to study such transitions because their larvae display a range of feeding behaviors, being predators, parasitoids or saprophages of a variety of mollusks in freshwater, shoreline and dry terrestrial habitats. The remarkable genus Tetanocera (Tetanocerini) occupies five larval feeding groups and all of the habitat types mentioned above. This study has four principal objectives: (i) construct a robust estimate of phylogeny for Tetanocera and Tetanocerini, (ii) estimate the evolutionary transitions in larval feeding behaviors and habitats, (iii) test the monophyly of feeding groups and (iv) identify mechanisms underlying sciomyzid habitat and feeding behavior evolution. Results: Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood analyses of molecular data provided
