Giordani1,2 and S. Vanin1,3* Abstract Background: A correct identification of species is fundamental in order to derive all the biological, ecological, and behavioral information useful to reconstruct previous events when insects are used in forensic and funerary archaeological contexts. Little attention was paid in the past to the description of the immature stages of flies, especially of species belonging to family found only occasionally on human cadavers and animal carrion. Sphaeroceridae species belong to this category. Results: In this work, adult and puparia of Phthitia empirica (Hutton, 1901) are illustrated and described. In addition, some observations about the molecular identification of this species are presented and discussed. Conclusions: This work will allow the identification of puparia of this species providing additional tools in forensic entomological investigation. More in general, the effort of producing morphological descriptions and molecular information of species of potential forensic interest clearly implements the possibility to provide a deeper understanding of the peri- and post-mortem events in violent crimes.

The physiological response to cold exposure shapes the ability of insects to 17 survive and thrive in these environments, and can be measured, without great technical 18 difficulty, for both basic and applied research. For example, understanding insect cold 19 tolerance allows us to predict the establishment and spread of insect pests and biological 20 control agents. Additionally, the discipline provides the tools for drawing physiological 21 comparisons among groups in wider studies that may not be focused primarily on the 22 ability of insects to survive the cold.

  • Seasonal Variation of Trehalose and Glycerol Concentrations in Winter Snow-Active Insects
    CryoLetters 29 (6), 485-491 (2008) © CryoLetters, c/o University of Bedfordshire, Luton LU2 8DL SEASONAL VARIATION OF TREHALOSE AND GLYCEROL CONCENTRATIONS IN WINTER SNOW-ACTIVE INSECTS Stefano Vanin, Luigi Bubacco and Mariano Beltramini* Department of Biology, University of Padua, via U. Bassi 58/b, 35121 Padova, Italy *Correspondence author e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Different kinds of molecules were identified as antifreezing agents in the body fluids of cold tolerant invertebrates: sugars, polyols and proteins. While none of the active arthropods were so far reported to accumulate polyols, these compounds are present in the haemolymph of species that hibernate in a passive stage such as diapause. In this work we investigated insect species that are active during winter and we demonstrated the ability of the mecopteran Boreus hiemalis (Mecoptera, Boreidae), the wingless fly Chionea sp. (Diptera, Limoniidae) and cantharid larvae (Coleoptera, Cantharidae) to accumulate sugars in their haemolymph to survive during winter. We report, for the first time, that for snow-active insects, trehalose comprises an important haemolymph component, its concentration changing as a function of the season, suggesting that the same adaptive strategies against cold conditions have evolved both in winter active and winter diapausing insects. Keywords: Supercooling point, trehalose, Boreus, Chionea, Cantharidae INTRODUCTION Cold is one of the major challenges that insects must overcome to survive in temperate and polar climates. Three general strategies have emerged in insects and in invertebrates generally: long distance migration, overwintering with different physiological cold hardiness strategies and ovewintering in protected microhabitats (13). Most overwintering insects, spend the cold season in a “latent” stage (eggs, diapausing larvae, pupae or adults); only few species are active during winter.

  • A Review of Wing Reduction and Loss in the Sphaeroceridae and the Evolution of Winglessness In
    A review of wing reduction and loss in the Sphaeroceridae and the evolution of winglessness in the Australian species of Howickia Richards (Diptera: Sphaeroceridae). By Hailey Ashbee A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Environmental Sciences Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Hailey Ashbee, April 2019 ABSTRACT A review of wing reduction and loss in the Sphaeroceridae and the evolution of winglessness in the Australian species of Howickia Richards (Diptera: Sphaeroceridae). Hailey Ashbee Advisor: University of Guelph, 2019 Steve Marshall Flightlessness in Diptera is discussed and incidence of wing reduction and loss in the Sphaeroceridae is reviewed. The genus Howickia Richards is particularly unique among genera which display flightlessness because it contains macropterous, brachypterous and apterous species, making it ideal for the study of the evolution of winglessness. This study illustrated, documented and phylogenetically analysed 26 Australian Howickia and Howickia-like species from the University of Guelph Insect Collection. COI data from sphaerocerids around the world as well as morphological data are used to determine outgroups for a morphology-based phylogenetic analysis. Results of the molecular analysis contentiously place Howickia within the strictly New World epandrial process group. Results of the morphological phylogenetic analysis establish one large clade and seven species groups. According to the phylogenetic analysis, wing loss has evolved independently at least three times in Australian Howickia. Several synonymies are suggested for consideration in a future revision. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Stephen A. Marshall for initially inspiring me to pursue insect systematics as an undergraduate and for providing me with the opportunity to study these fascinating flies.

  • (EBA) Report for SCAR SRP Performance Review March 2
    Working Paper WP16 XXX SCAR Agenda 5.3 Evolution and Biodiversity in the Antarctic: The Response of Life to Change (EBA) Report for SCAR SRP Performance Review March 2008 1. Rationale Evolution and Biodiversity in the Antarctic: the Response of Life to Change (EBA) was endorsed by SCAR in October 2004 and became operational from January 2006. The overall aim of the EBA programme is to understand the evolution and diversity of life in the Antarctic, to determine how these have influenced the properties and dynamics of present Antarctic and Southern Ocean ecosystems, and to make predictions on how organisms and communities will respond to current and future environmental change. This programme involves an explicit integration of work on marine, terrestrial and limnetic ecosystems. The science in this programme thus extends over an entire biome on Earth. By comparing the outcome of parallel evolutionary processes over the range of Antarctic environments, fundamental insights can be obtained into evolution and the ways in which life responds to change, from the molecular to the whole organism level and ultimately to biome level. Most national programmes individually cannot attempt a study on such a bold scale, whereas the collaborative spirit of the Antarctic science community provides a mechanism for achieving outstanding scientific success. EBA has established five Working Packages to cover the intended areas of research: • Work Package 1: Evolutionary history of Antarctic organisms • Work Package 2: Evolutionary adaptation to the Antarctic environment • Work Package 3: Patterns of gene flow and consequences for population dynamics: Isolation as a driving force • Work Package 4: Patterns and diversity of organisms, ecosystems and habitats in the Antarctic, and controlling processes • Work Package 5: Impact of past, current and predicted future environmental change on biodiversity and ecosystem function 2.

Abstract The flightless beetle Merizodus soledadinus, originating from the Falkland Islands, was introduced to the sub-Antarctic Kerguelen Islands. We compiled the existing information on ship visits and landings on these islands to confirm the introduction date of M. soledadinus. Using data available in the literature, in addition to collecting more than 2000 presence/absence records of M. soledadinus over the 1991-2018 period, we tracked changes of its abundance and geographical distribution. The range expansion of this nonflying insect was initially slow, but has accelerated over the past two decades in parallel to local increased abundances of the insect’s populations.
