  • Concept of an Active Amplification Mechanism in the Infrared
    HYPOTHESIS AND THEORY published: 21 December 2015 doi: 10.3389/fphys.2015.00391 Concept of an Active Amplification Mechanism in the Infrared Organ of Pyrophilous Melanophila Beetles Erik S. Schneider 1 †, Anke Schmitz 2 † and Helmut Schmitz 2*† 1 Institute of Zoology, University of Graz, Graz, Austria, 2 Institute of Zoology, University of Bonn, Bonn, Germany Jewel beetles of the genus Melanophila possess a pair of metathoracic infrared (IR) organs. These organs are used for forest fire detection because Melanophila larvae can only develop in fire killed trees. Several reports in the literature and a modeling of a historic oil tank fire suggest that beetles may be able to detect large fires by means of their IR organs from distances of more than 100 km. In contrast, the highest sensitivity of the IR organs, so far determined by behavioral and physiological experiments, allows a detection of large fires from distances up to 12 km only. Sensitivity thresholds, however, have always been determined in non-flying beetles. Therefore, the complete micromechanical environment of the IR organs in flying beetles has not been taken into Edited by: Sylvia Anton, consideration. Because the so-called photomechanic sensilla housed in the IR organs Institut National de la Recherche respond bimodally to mechanical as well as to IR stimuli, it is proposed that flying Agronomique, France beetles make use of muscular energy coupled out of the flight motor to considerably Reviewed by: Maria Hellwig, increase the sensitivity of their IR sensilla during intermittent search flight sequences.

  • Patterns of Woodboring Beetle Activity Following Fires and Bark Beetle Outbreaks in Montane Forests of California, USA Chris Ray1* , Daniel R
    Ray et al. Fire Ecology (2019) 15:21 Fire Ecology https://doi.org/10.1186/s42408-019-0040-1 ORIGINAL RESEARCH Open Access Patterns of woodboring beetle activity following fires and bark beetle outbreaks in montane forests of California, USA Chris Ray1* , Daniel R. Cluck2, Robert L. Wilkerson1, Rodney B. Siegel1, Angela M. White3, Gina L. Tarbill3, Sarah C. Sawyer4 and Christine A. Howell5 Abstract Background: Increasingly frequent and severe drought in the western United States has contributed to more frequent and severe wildfires, longer fire seasons, and more frequent bark beetle outbreaks that kill large numbers of trees. Climate change is expected to perpetuate these trends, especially in montane ecosystems, calling for improved strategies for managing Western forests and conserving the wildlife that they support. Woodboring beetles (e.g., Buprestidae and Cerambycidae) colonize dead and weakened trees and speed succession of habitats altered by fire or bark beetles, while serving as prey for some early-seral habitat specialists, including several woodpecker species. To understand how these ecologically important beetles respond to different sources of tree mortality, we sampled woodborers in 16 sites affected by wildfire or bark beetle outbreak in the previous one to eight years. Study sites were located in the Sierra Nevada, Modoc Plateau, Warner Mountains, and southern Cascades of California, USA. We used generalized linear mixed models to evaluate hypotheses concerning the response of woodboring beetles to disturbance type, severity, and timing; forest stand composition and structure; and tree characteristics. Results: Woodborer activity was often similar in burned and bark beetle outbreak sites, tempered by localized responses to bark beetle activity, burn severity, tree characteristics, and apparent response to ignition date.

Proceedings Tall Timbers Fire Ecology Conference: No.9. Tall Timbers Fire Ecology Conference. 9. Tall Timbers Research Station, Tallahassee, FL. Fire and Animal Behavior E. V. KOMAREK, SR. Tall Ti'mbers Researcb Station Tallabassee, Florida , THE REACTIONS and relationships of animals to fire, the charcoal black burn, the straw-colored and later the green vegetation certainly attracted the attention of primitive man and his ancestors. In "Fire-and the Ecology of iV'lan" I proposed that man himself is the product of a fire environment-"pre-'man prirrtates as well as early Ulan inhabited fire environrnents and had to be 'fire­ selected' ... to live in such environments." (Komarek, 1967). Therefore, man's ultimate survival, as had been true with other ani­ mals that live in fire environments, depends upon a proper under­ standing of fire and the relationships of animals and plants to this element. 1V10dern literature, particularly in the United States, has been so saturated with the reputed dangers of forest fires to animals that he has developed a deep seated fear of all fires in nature. In this nation, the average individual is only beginning to realize the proper place of fire and fire control in forest, grassland and field. Unfortunately, much knowledge on fire and animal behavior that was common in­ formation to the American Indian, pioneers, and early farm and ranch people has been lost though in some parts of the ·world a large body of this knowledge still exists.

Academic Editor: Gijs Krijnen Received: 31 March 2015 / Accepted: 29 May 2015 / Published: 16 June 2015 Abstract: Every year forest fires cause severe financial losses in many countries of the world. Additionally, lives of humans as well as of countless animals are often lost. Due to global warming, the problem of wildfires is getting out of control; hence, the burning of thousands of hectares is obviously increasing. Most important, therefore, is the early detection of an emerging fire before its intensity becomes too high. More than ever, a need for early warning systems capable of detecting small fires from distances as large as possible exists. A look to nature shows that pyrophilous “fire beetles” of the genus Melanophila can be regarded as natural airborne fire detection systems because their larvae can only develop in the wood of fire-killed trees. There is evidence that Melanophila beetles can detect large fires from distances of more than 100 km by visual and infrared cues.

Some of the body parts studied were figured. Eighty seven characters of larvae and adults were used in a character state matrix. The matrix was mostly based on the material studied, although, literature data were also used (especially for larval and anatomical characters). The families Derodontidae, Bostrichidae, Dermestidae, Dascillidae, Byrrhidae, Elateridae, and Dryopidae were used as outgroups. The Hennig86 program (commands mhennig*bb*, successive weighting) was used for computing the matrix. Only one tree is a result of the matrix and that shows high congruence of matrix data. The resulting tree is congruent with a general opinion on a higher taxonomy for Buprestoidea. Family rank is confirmed for Schizopodidae.

Simple Summary: Biological invasions are one of the most critical problems today. Invaders have been damaging tree- and shrub-dominated ecosystems. Among these harmful species, a notable role belongs to bark beetles and borers. Extensive phytosanitary measures are needed to prevent their penetration into new regions. However, the lists of quarantine pests should be reasonably brief for more effective prevention of invasion of potentially harmful insects. Our goal is to reveal the set of biological traits of invasive bark beetles and borers that are currently known. We identified four invasion strategies. Inbred, the first one is characterized by inbreeding, parthenogenesis, polyvoltin- ism, xylomycetophagy, flightless males, polyphagy, to less extent by association with pathogenic fungi. For the second, polyphagous, typical traits are polyphagy, feeding on wood, high fecundity, distance sex pheromones presence, development for one year or more. The third strategy, intermediate, Citation: Demidko, D.A.; Demidko, possesses such features as mono- or olygophagy, feeding on inner-bark, short (one year or less) N.N.; Mikhaylov, P.V.; Sultson, S.M.

The preceding defi nitions of the tribe Poecilonotini Jakobson, 1913 are revised and commented and a new concept of the tribe Poecilonotini sensu novo is suggested. The subtribe Nesotrinchina Bílý, Kubáň & Volkovitsh, subtrib. nov. is described and revised including a study of selected taxa of the subtribe Poecilono- tina. Ulaikoilia jelineki Bílý & Kubáň, gen. nov., sp. nov. (subtribe Nesotrinchina subtrib. nov.) is described from Papua New Guinea. The genus is diagnosed and compared with related genera and important characters at the genus and species level are illustrated. The following new synonymies are proposed: Lamprodila (Erialata) auripilis (Obenberger, 1922) = L. (E.) pubescens (Fisher, 1930), syn. nov., Melobasina apicalis Kerremans, 1900 = M. ignita (Théry, 1937), syn. nov., Nesotrinchus australicus (Kerremans, 1903) = N. simondsi Obenberger, 1924, syn. nov. and N. caeruleipennis (Fairmaire, 1877) = N.
