New data from known or recently investigated localities are presented and comparisons made with faunas from equivalent latitudes in Asia and Greenland. Many of the Canadian sites belong to the Beaufort Formation, a prime source of late Tertiary plant and insect fossils. But new sites are continually being discovered and studied and among the most informative of these are several from the high terrace gravel on Ellesmere Island. One Ellesmere Island locality, known informally as the “Beaver Peat” contains spectacularly well preserved plant and arthropod fossils, and is the only Pliocene site in Arctic North America to yield a variety of vertebrate fossils. Like some of the other “keystone” localities discussed here, it promises to be important for dating and correlation as well as for documenting high Arctic climatic and environmental conditions during the Pliocene. -

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. -
Tracking List
Tracked Taxa List: Current as of Invertebrates 2021-May-17 This list contains the tracked invertebrate animal taxa known by the Saskatchewan Conservation Data Centre (SKCDC) to occur within Saskatchewan, as of the date provided above. If you notice any errors or omissions, please contact [email protected]. For more information about how the SKCDC generates these lists and what determines when a species is tracked by the SKCDC, visit: http://biodiversity.sk.ca/lists.htm Conservation ranks/status are provided for each species. For details on each, refer to the following resources: ◦ Subnational (S), National (N) and Global (G) Ranks: www.biodiversity.sk.ca/ranking.htm ◦ Government of Saskatchewan Wild Species at Risk Regulations: https://publications.saskatchewan.ca/#/products/1609 ◦ COSEWIC: https://www.cosewic.ca/index.php ◦ SARA; Government of Canada Species at Risk public registry: https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/species-risk-public-registry.html SYNONYMS: This list is being provided by the SKCDC as a tool to facilitate users in determining the current, accepted taxonomy. If a name is currently out of use in Saskatchewan, it’s current synonym is provided, indented in the line below the accepted name. In this row, we are unable to distinguish between true synonyms and misapplied names used as synonyms. For example, Cryptantha fendleri is an accepted name for a vascular plant that is currently found in Saskatchewan. This name, however, has also been misapplied to both Cryptantha kelseyana and Cryptantha minima in the past. Therefore, it appears as a synonym to those two species. -

Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections
SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS. 140 LIST COLEOPTERA NORTH AMERICA. PREPARED FOR THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION. BY JOHN L. LECONTE, M.D. PART I. WASHINGTON: SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION: MARCH, 18G3.—APRIL, 1866. : — ADVERTISEMENT. A catalogue of the described Coleoptera of the United States, prepared by Dr. F. E. Melsheimer, and revised by Prof. Halde- man and Dr. LeConte, was published by the Smithsonian Insti- tution in 1853. This work furnished a reference to all the species described at the time, and known to the author or editors, but did not profess to indicate what were synonymes and what actual species. Dr. LeConte has since had in view a new and improved cata- logue, and by his own researches, and by reference to those of others, has endeavored to ascertain the proper synonymy of the North American Coleoptera, adding the new species described since the date of the Melsheimer Catalogue. The portion of the New List, now published, includes all the families treated of in Part I of the Classification of the Coleop- tera of North America, by Dr. LeConte, who will complete that work, with its companions, the "List," and the "Descriptions of New Species of North American Coleoptera," at the earliest practicable moment. Pages 1 published in March, 1863 50 10 in —49 were ; pp. April, 1866. JOSEPH HENRY, Secretary S. I. Smithsonian Institution, Washington, April, 1866. PHILADELPHIA COLLINS, PRINTEE. NOTICE. The present catalogue was commenced in 1861, and the portion now issued was, in great part, printed as early as June, 1862. The official duties of the author have since left him but little time for scientific research ; but believing that the catalogue, even in its present incomplete condition, will be of service to students, he has considered it proper not to retard its appearance any longer. -

Abstract Farmland bird populations have experienced declines with increasing agricultural intensification for which the leading hypothesis is a reduction of prey insects. This may be especially relevant for aerial insectivores whose primary diet is flying insects. For this thesis, I examined nestling body condition and used stable isotopes (δ13C, δ15N) and fecal DNA barcoding to determine the diet of a farmland breeding aerial insectivore, the Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica), within an agro-ecosystem in Southern Ontario, Canada. Nestling body condition was positively affected by agricultural intensification, but all benefits were lost by the pre-fledging stage and with no effect on productivity. -

The development of the third instar larva lasted particularly long (on average, 19 days), and the most intense increase in biomass (from 20 to 100 mg) was observed at that phase as well. -

My Systematic Catalogue of British Insects having extended considerably beyond the limits originally designed, I have been induced to publish the subjoined abridgment thereof, in a form that may be conveniently carried in the pocket for reference while travelling, or for the purpose of marking off desiderata, ticketing cabinets, &c. Notwithstanding its extreme compactness, it con tains the names of nearly 10,000 species, a far greater number than any other individual can possibly introduce, as no indigenous col lection hitherto formed is equal in extent throughout all the orders to the one which I possess, and which is arranged in conformity to the following Catalogue. In accordance with the plan adopted in my other publications, I have inserted all the described species of doubtful origin, as well as those whose names have as yet appeared in MSS. only, as the greater portion of the latter will ultimately appear in my Illustrations; and the mere introduction of a name does not necessarily imply that it must be imprinted on the memory:—the former insects are distinguished by having their names in italics; and the latter (as well as uncharacterized genera) by having the names of their authors similarly distinguished :—to such insects as I possess foreign specimens of alone, a J is attached, and a t to those which are desiderata.
