  • Ants As Prey for the Endemic and Endangered Spanish Tiger Beetle Cephalota Dulcinea (Coleoptera: Carabidae) Carlo Polidori A*, Paula C

Among the insects inhabiting endorheic, temporary and highly saline small lakes of central Spain during dry periods, tiger beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Cicindelinae) form particularly rich assemblages including unique endemic species. Cephalota dulcinea López, De la Rosa & Baena, 2006 is an endemic, regionally protected species that occurs only in saline marshes in Castilla-La Mancha (Central Spain). Here, we report that C. dulcinea suffers potential risks associated with counter-attacks by ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), while using them as prey at one of these marshes. Through mark–recapture methods, we estimated the population size of C. dulcinea at the study marsh as of 1352 individuals, with a sex ratio slightly biased towards males. Evident signs of ant defensive attack by the seed-harvesting ant Messor barbarus (Forel, 1905) were detected in 14% of marked individuals, sometimes with cut ant heads still grasped with their mandibles to the beetle body parts. Ant injuries have been more frequently recorded at the end of adult C.

  • Rare Native Animals of RI
    RARE NATIVE ANIMALS OF RHODE ISLAND Revised: March, 2006 ABOUT THIS LIST The list is divided by vertebrates and invertebrates and is arranged taxonomically according to the recognized authority cited before each group. Appropriate synonomy is included where names have changed since publication of the cited authority. The Natural Heritage Program's Rare Native Plants of Rhode Island includes an estimate of the number of "extant populations" for each listed plant species, a figure which has been helpful in assessing the health of each species. Because animals are mobile, some exhibiting annual long-distance migrations, it is not possible to derive a population index that can be applied to all animal groups. The status assigned to each species (see definitions below) provides some indication of its range, relative abundance, and vulnerability to decline. More specific and pertinent data is available from the Natural Heritage Program, the Rhode Island Endangered Species Program, and the Rhode Island Natural History Survey. STATUS. The status of each species is designated by letter codes as defined: (FE) Federally Endangered (7 species currently listed) (FT) Federally Threatened (2 species currently listed) (SE) State Endangered Native species in imminent danger of extirpation from Rhode Island. These taxa may meet one or more of the following criteria: 1. Formerly considered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for Federal listing as endangered or threatened. 2. Known from an estimated 1-2 total populations in the state. 3. Apparently globally rare or threatened; estimated at 100 or fewer populations range-wide. Animals listed as State Endangered are protected under the provisions of the Rhode Island State Endangered Species Act, Title 20 of the General Laws of the State of Rhode Island.

THE TIGER BEETLES OF ALBERTA (COLEOPTERA: CARABIDAE, CICINDELINI)' Gerald J. Hilchie Department of Entomology University of Alberta Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2E3. Quaestiones Entomologicae 21:319-347 1985 ABSTRACT In Alberta there are 19 species of tiger beetles {Cicindela). These are found in a wide variety of habitats from sand dunes and riverbanks to construction sites. Each species has a unique distribution resulting from complex interactions of adult site selection, life history, competition, predation and historical factors. Post-pleistocene dispersal of tiger beetles into Alberta came predominantly from the south with a few species entering Alberta from the north and west. INTRODUCTION Wallis (1961) recognized 26 species of Cicindela in Canada, of which 19 occur in Alberta. Most species of tiger beetle in North America are polytypic but, in Alberta most are represented by a single subspecies. Two species are represented each by two subspecies and two others hybridize and might better be described as a single species with distinct subspecies. When a single subspecies is present in the province morphs normally attributed to other subspecies may also be present, in which case the most common morph (over 80% of a population) is used for subspecies designation. Tiger beetles have always been popular with collectors. Bright colours and quick flight make these beetles a sporting and delightful challenge to collect.

Soc. Am. 102(3): 462Ð466 (2009) ABSTRACT Flooding exposes terrestrial organisms to severe hypoxia. Among the best-studied insects that are frequently exposed to ßooding are tiger beetle (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae) larvae. In previous studies with a limited number of species, a correlation was found between habitat and hypoxia tolerance. In the current study, we examined hypoxia tolerance among third instars of six Cicindela species that vary in habitat association; we also tested adult survival of these species.

  • Ecology of the Larvae of Holarctic Tiger- Beetles (Family Cicindelidae)
    STUDIES ON THE MORPHOLOGY, TAXONOMY, AND ECOLOGY OF THE LARVAE OF HOLARCTIC TIGER- BEETLES (FAMILY CICINDELIDAE). By Clyde C. Hamilton, Associate Entomologist, University of Maryland. INTRODUCTION. Larvae of the Cicindelidae were first noted in literature as early as 1798. The first work of importance is that of J. C. Schiodte : De Metamorphosi Eleutheratorum observationes, Carabi. in 1867. His observations, descriptions, and figures of Cicindela hyhrida and C. cajupestris are excellent. George H. Horn, in 1878, gave a detailed description of a larva from each of the four genera occuring in the United States. His descriptions are too general to be of much morphological or taxonomical value. During the same year and several succeeding years F. G. Schaupp published a number of notes on tiger-beetle larvae. From this time until 1905 very little attention was given to the study of the larvae. In 1907 Dr. V. E. Shelford published in the Biological Bulletin an excellent account of the habits and distribu- tion of a number of the species occurring in the vicinity of Chicago, Illinois. The following year he published on the life history and habits of these same species and considered their relation to hiberna- tion, depth of burrow, moisture, temperature, etc. In later papers he has made detailed comparisons of the ecology of the larvae of the same species and of different species from widely separated regions. During 1907 and 1910 Norman Criddle published in the Canadian Entomologist excellent accounts of the habits and life histories of a number of the species occuring in Manitoba, Canada. Some of the more interesting facts he pointed out are the increased depth of the burrow, the smaller size of the species and the lengthening of the life history, due to the long severe winters and short summers.
