  • Opsin Duplication and Subfunctionalization for Short-Wavelength Sensitivity in Jewel Beetles (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) Nathan P
    Lord et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2016) 16:107 DOI 10.1186/s12862-016-0674-4 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access A cure for the blues: opsin duplication and subfunctionalization for short-wavelength sensitivity in jewel beetles (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) Nathan P. Lord1*, Rebecca L. Plimpton2, Camilla R. Sharkey1, Anton Suvorov1, Jonathan P. Lelito3, Barry M. Willardson2 and Seth M. Bybee1 Abstract Background: Arthropods have received much attention as a model for studying opsin evolution in invertebrates. Yet, relatively few studies have investigated the diversity of opsin proteins that underlie spectral sensitivity of the visual pigments within the diverse beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera). Previous work has demonstrated that beetles appear to lack the short-wavelength-sensitive (SWS) opsin class that typically confers sensitivity to the “blue” region of the light spectrum. However, this is contrary to established physiological data in a number of Coleoptera. To explore potential adaptations at the molecular level that may compensate for the loss of the SWS opsin, we carried out an exploration of the opsin proteins within a group of beetles (Buprestidae) where short-wave sensitivity has been demonstrated. RNA- seq data were generated to identify opsin proteins from nine taxa comprising six buprestid species (including three male/female pairs) across four subfamilies. Structural analyses of recovered opsins were conducted and compared to opsin sequences in other insects across the main opsin classes—ultraviolet, short-wavelength, and long-wavelength. Results: All nine buprestids were found to express two opsin copies in each of the ultraviolet and long-wavelength classes, contrary to the single copies recovered in all other molecular studies of adult beetle opsin expression.

Müller² 1 Department of Applied Zoology, P.O.Box 27, FIN-00014 University of Helsinki, Finland 1 Rehetobelstr. 99, CH-9016 St. Gallen, Switzerland Received 10 January 1996 / Revised, Updated and Accepted 6 February 1997 A list of dragonflies known from the Philippines is presented with data on their distribution the of the islands. In addition the 224 named 3 by accuracy to spp. (and sspp.), some 65-70 still undescribed or unidentified (to species level) taxa are listed. Detailed data for 14 named which listed from the collecting are presented spp., arc Philippines for the first time, viz. Archibasis viola, Ceriagrion cerinorubellum, Acrogomphusjubilaris, Ictinogomphus decoratus melaenops, Gynacantha arsinoe, G. dohrni, Heliaeschna simplicia, H. uninervulata, Indaeschna grubaueri, Tetracanthagyna brunnea, Macromia westwoodi, Aethriamanta gracilis, Neurothemis fluctuans and Rhyothemis obsolescens. Prodasineura obsoleta (Selys, 1882) is synonymized with P. integra (Selys, 1882) and Gomphidia platerosi Asahina, 1980 with G. kirschii Selys, 1878. A few other possible synonymies are suggested for future confirmation. A brief review of the earlier studies on Philippine Odonata is presented. Grouped according to the present understanding of the Philippine biogeographical regions, all major islands are briefly characterized and separate lists are given for 40 islands. The records are based onliterature data, and on ca 27 000 specimens in Roland 000 SMF Muller’s collection, ca 2 specimens in coll. Ris at and on some other smaller collections studied by the authors. INTRODUCTION While the second author made plans for a zoological expedition to the Philip- pines in 1985, Dr Bastiaan K i a u t a suggested him to take collecting of dragon- flies as one of the goals, because the knowledge of the Philippine Odonata fauna was very inadequate.

Copyright (FAMIL K.A.Subramanian,Y 2005.: COENAGRIONIDAE) MARSH DARTS (FAMILY: COENAGRIONIDAE) Marsh darts are slender and small damselflies with varied colouration. These non-iridescent damselflies rest with wings closed over their body. The wings are transparent and rounded at the tip. The long and slender abdomen is slightly longer than the hind wing. Some of the smallest damselflies like the Golden Dartlet (Ischnura aurora) is from this family. Marsh Darts are found throughout the world. World over, this family is represented by about 1147 species. Within Indian limits, 65 species are known and in peninsular India 25 species are recorded. The marsh darts breed in a variety of aquatic habitats like ponds, marshes, streams and Photo:E.Kunhikrishnan rivers. Though most of the species are closely associated with aquatic habitats, some Golden Dartlets mating species like the Common Marsh Dart (Ceriagrion coromandelianum) can be found far away from any aquatic habitat.

A. Yani 117, Surabaya, Jawa Timur, Indonesia *email: [email protected] Article Info ABSTRACT Mount Sigogor Nature Reserve area is a mountainous tropical Keyword: rain forest, administratively located in Pupus Village, Ngebel Diversity District, Ponorogo Regency, East Java, Indonesia.

Water sources and flows within the Mount Sigogor Nature Reserve area Article history: have the potential as natural habitat for dragonflies. This study Received: 03/05/2021 aims to determine the diversity and abundance of dragonflies Revised: 09/07/21 (Odonata) in the Mount Sigogor Nature Reserve Area. The Accepted: 13/07/21 method of collecting dragonflies data used the Visual Day Flying method by recording the diversity of dragonflies species and counting the number of individuals from each observed dragonflies species. The data obtained were analyzed using the Relative abundance, Shannon-Wiener Heterogeneity Index and the frequency of Presence. The results of the research conducted showed that there were 14 species from 7 families with a total of 464 individuals. The Shannor-Wiener diversity index shows that the diversity value is H'= 1.81. Meanwhile, the presence frequency analysis showed that there were four species with a value of 100% which were classified as abundant Frequency of Presence, namely Euphaea variegata, Vestalis luctuosa, Rhinocypha anisoptera and Coeliccia membranipes.
