  • Tachinidae, Tachinid Flies
    Beneficial Insects Class Insecta, Insects Order Diptera, Flies, gnats, and midges Diptera means “two wings,” and true flies bear only one pair of functional wings. Flies are one of the largest insect groups, with approximately 35 families that contain predatory or parasitic species. All flies have piercing/sucking/sponging mouthparts. Tachinid flies Family Tachinidae Description and life history: This is a large and important family, with up to 1300 native parasitoid species in North America and additional introduced species to help control foreign pests. These flies vary in color, size, and shape but most resemble houseflies. Adults are usually gray, black, or striped, and hairy. Adults lay eggs on plants to be consumed by hosts, or they glue eggs to the outside of hosts, so the maggots can burrow into the host. Rarely will tachinids insert eggs into host bodies. Tachinid flies develop rapidly within their host and pupate in 4–14 days. By the time they emerge, they have killed their host. Many species have several generations a year, although some are limited by hosts with a single annual generation. Prey species: Most tachinid flies attack caterpillars and adult and larval beetles, although others specialize on Tachinid fly adult. (327) sawfly larvae, true bugs, grasshoppers, or other insects. Photo: John Davidson Lydella thompsoni is a parasitoid of European corn borer, Voria ruralis attacks cabbage looper caterpillars, Myiopharus doryphorae attacks Colorado potato beetle larvae, and Istocheta aldrichi parasitizes adult Japanese beetles. Although these are very important natural en- emies, none is available commercially. IPM of Midwest Landscapes 263.

Fennica 12: 72–77. We report observations on the larval gregarious behaviour, host plant use and parasitoids of six species of melitaeine butterfly in the Russian Republic of Buryatia. We observed post-diapause larvae in two habitats, steppe and taiga forest region. Five species were found in the steppe region: Euphydryas aurinia davidi, Melitaea cinxia, M. latonigena, M. didymoides and M. phoebe. Three species (M. cinxia, M. latonigena and M. didymoides) fed on the same host plant, Veronica incana (Plantaginaceae). Euphydryas aurinia larvae were found on Scabiosa comosa (Dipsacaceae) and M. phoebe larvae on Stemmacantha uniflora (Asteraceae). Three species were found in the taiga region (M. cinxia, M. latonigena and M. centralasiae), of which the first two fed on Veronica incana. Five species of hymenopteran parasitoids and three species of dipteran parasitoids were reared from the butterfly larvae of five species.

  • Specialization in Plant–Pollinator Networks
    Villalobos et al. BMC Ecol (2019) 19:34 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12898-019-0250-z BMC Ecology RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Specialization in plant–pollinator networks: insights from local-scale interactions in Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park in Alberta, Canada Soraya Villalobos1* , José Manuel Sevenello‑Montagner2 and Jana C. Vamosi1 Abstract Background: The occurrence and frequency of plant–pollinator interactions are acknowledged to be a function of multiple factors, including the spatio‑temporal distribution of species. The study of pollination specialization by exam‑ ining network properties and more recently incorporating predictors of pairwise interactions is emerging as a useful framework, yet integrated datasets combining network structure, habitat disturbance, and phylogenetic information are still scarce. Results: We found that plant–pollinator interactions in a grassland ecosystem in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains are not randomly distributed and that high levels of reciprocal specialization are generated by biological constraints, such as foral symmetry, pollinator size and pollinator sociality, because these traits lead to morphological or pheno‑ logical mismatching between interacting species. We also detected that landscape degradation was associated with diferences in the network topology, but the interaction webs still maintained a consistently higher number of recip‑ rocal specialization cases than expected. Evidence for the reciprocal evolutionary dependence in visitors (e.g., related pollinators visiting related plants) were weak in this study system, however we identifed key species joining clustered units. Conclusions: Our results indicate that the conserved links with keystone species may provide the foundation for generating local reciprocal specialization. From the general topology of the networks, plant–pollinators interactions in sites with disturbance consisted of generalized nodes connecting modules (i.e., hub and numerous connectors).

  • Les Tachinidae De La Manche
    Les Tachinidae de la Manche : début de l’enquête et première liste (Diptera Brachycera) La famille de mouches que nous allons aborder dans cet article offre le paradoxe d’être à la fois l’une des plus riches en espèces et l’une des plus mal connues des entomologistes. Discrètes, souvent de petite taille et peu colorées, elles passent facilement inaperçues. Totalement ignorées du profane, elles n’ont reçu aucun nom vernaculaire et c’est à peine si les guides de vulgarisation représentent quelques espèces, 6 par exemple dans CHINERY (1986) contre 22 syrphes, famille d’ampleur comparable, soit moins de 1% de la faune européenne ! Un guide spécialisé dans les diptères, J. & H. HAUPT (1998), dont l’éditeur suisse annonce sans vergogne en couverture « l’identification des espèces européennes », illustre 13 espèces, soit 1,5% de la faune d’Europe. Il est certain que l’ampleur de la tâche a pu rebuter les diptéristes de notre pays, d’autant plus qu’aujourd’hui encore aucun ouvrage complet de détermination n’est actuellement disponible en langue française. Et pourtant ces mouches ne manquent pas d’attrait ! De nombreuses espèces sont d’une taille respectable, sous la loupe beaucoup même offrent un aspect séduisant par leurs couleurs veloutées, leurs reflets pruineux, leur système organisé de poils et de soies, toutes surtout ont une biologie complexe, captivante et encore mal étudiée. Pour tout dire, cette enquête limitée à la Manche (voir L’Argiope No 67) s’annonce passionnante car la page est totalement vierge et le champ de recherche immense. Bien sûr, les obstacles sont tels que l’inventaire devra être abordé avec prudence.
