Beauveria bassiana haplotype determination based on nuclear rDNA internal transcribed spacer PCR±RFLP Abstract DNA sequence alignment of the nuclear 5.8S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene and internal transcribed spacers (ITS) from Beauveria bassiana demonstrated that 6.62% sequence variation existed between nine isolates. A higher level of mutation was observed within the ITS regions, where 8.39% divergence occurred. Polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism, PCR-RFLP, and DNA sequence alignment of the ITS1 and ITS2 regions identified seven polymorphic restriction endonuclease sites, Alu I,Hha I, Hinf I, Sin I, Tru 9AI and two Tha I restriction sites. The allelic frequency of each genetic marker was determined from 96 isolates. PCR-RFLP defined 24 B. bassiana genotypes within the sample set, from which eight phylogenetic clusters were predicted to exist. AMOVA and Fst (θ) indicated that no significant correlation existed between B. bassiana haplotype and insect host range as defined by insect order from which each isolate was derived.

It is built of dolomite, and enriched with limestone formations. The basalt formations of Kovácsi Hill and Tátika-region are the results of the volcanic activity. The other part of the inves- tigated area is the coastal region of Lake Balaton. This region is mainly moorland and wet meadows which were originally part of the lake-bed and turned dry as a result of the water management in the 19th century. The vegetation is abundant from the sub-Mediterranean xerotherm steppes, through closed oak and beech forests to cold gorges that preserve glacial remains.

Humber Insect Mycologist and Curator, ARSEF UPDATED July 2011 Some seemingly dramatic and comparatively recent changes in the classification of a number of fungi may continue to cause confusion or a degree of discomfort to many of the clients of the cultures and informational resources provided by the ARSEF culture collection. This short treatment is an attempt to summarize some of these changes, the reasons for them, and to provide the essential references to the literature in which the changes are proposed. As the Curator of the ARSEF collection I wish to assure you that these changes are appropriate, progressive, and necessary to modernize and to stabilize the systematics of the fungal pathogens affecting insects and other invertebrates, and I urge you to adopt them into your own thinking, teaching, and publications.

The long-familiar taxonomy of Verticillium based on the monograph by Walter Gams (1971. Cephalosporium-artige Schimmelpilze (Hyphomycetes). Stuttgart: Gustav Fischer Verlag) divided Verticillium into to sections, Section Verticillium (containing the type species of the genus) comprised the major phytopathogenic species of Verticillium, and all included species bear their whorls of conidiogenous cells on erect, well differentiated conidiophores; the teleomorphs (sexual states) of none of the species in Sect. Verticillium belonged in the family Clavicipitaceae (Hypocreales). All species of Verticillium affecting insects, nematodes, or other invertebrates were referable to the other section, Verticillium Section Prostrata.

  • A Checklist of the Sawflies (Hymenoptera: Symphyta) of Bedfordshire
    A checklist of the sawflies (hymenoptera: symphyta) of Bedfordshire Introduction The following paper is the complete checklist of symphyta in the county of Bedfordshire compiled from all sources available at the time of production. The checklist is largely possible because of the work and records of Victor Horace Chambers (1911-1984). He collected aculeates and symphyta, mainly from Bedfordshire. Chambers published numerous papers in journals including the Transactions of the Society for British Entomology. He was a Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society. Chambers died approximately 10 years before personal computers became widely adopted and as a result all his records were paper based. He prepared a draft checklist of Bedfordshire symphyta, but this was unfortunately lost. Chambers kept an extensive collection of hymenopteran voucher specimens, which he carefully catalogued in five notebooks. His notebooks and collection were passed to The Natural History Museum (NHM) in London where they can be viewed by appointment. On receipt of a grant from this Society, the notebooks were painstakingly digitised by staff at the NHM. In total, 3,296 records of symphyta specimens were transcribed from his notebooks by the author of this checklist. Historical records have been georeferenced as accurately as possible from location notes. Six figure, site centroid grid references have been employed were possible. In many cases the County Recorder holds more precise location details available to any interested parties. All scientific naming follows the most recent Checklist of British and Irish Hymenoptera - Sawflies, ‘Symphyta’ (Liston, et al, 2014). Up to, and including records from 2018, Bedfordshire has recorded 357 species of sawfly out of the approximately 540 species currently thought to be present in Britain.

In total 176 species belonging to 8 Symphyta families were collected or observed, 92 of which are new for the Hautes-Pyrénées. Ardis sulcata (Cameron, 1882), Cladius ordubadensis Konow, 1892, Pristicampus arcticus (Lindqvist, 1959) and Pristiphora albitibia (Costa, 1859) are recorded for the first time in France, and in addition some species considered as rare in France were collected.

Costa, 1859) and Pristiphora (Pristiphora) fausta (Hartig, 1837). Keywords: Hymenoptera, Symphyta, Keszthely Hills, Hungary, rare species Introduction Keszthely Hills is the westernmost member of the Transdanubian Mountains. It is built of dolomite, and enriched with limestone formations. The basalt formations of Kovácsi Hill and Tátika-region are the results of the volcanic activity. The other part of the inves- tigated area is the coastal region of Lake Balaton. This region is mainly moorland and wet meadows which were originally part of the lake-bed and turned dry as a result of the water management in the 19th century. The vegetation is abundant from the sub-Mediterranean xerotherm steppes, through closed oak and beech forests to cold gorges that preserve glacial remains.

More than fifty years have passed since the publication of the final part of Robert B. Benson’s three part identification key to the “Symphyta” of the British Isles (Benson 1935, Benson 1952, Benson 1958). Whilst the first two parts were based substantially on the acute monography by Eduard Enslin (Enslin 1912, Enslin 1913, Enslin 1914, Enslin 1915, Enslin 1916, Enslin 1917 and Enslin 1918), Benson’s treatment of the Nematinae represented an original and significant step forward in our knowledge of this subfamily.

Holley Center for Agriculture & Health 538 Tower Road Ithaca, New York 14853-2901, USA IMPORTANT NOTE Recent phylogenetically based reclassifications of fungal pathogens of invertebrates Richard A. Humber Insect Mycologist and Curator, ARSEF UPDATED July 2011 Some seemingly dramatic and comparatively recent changes in the classification of a number of fungi may continue to cause confusion or a degree of discomfort to many of the clients of the cultures and informational resources provided by the ARSEF culture collection. This short treatment is an attempt to summarize some of these changes, the reasons for them, and to provide the essential references to the literature in which the changes are proposed. As the Curator of the ARSEF collection I wish to assure you that these changes are appropriate, progressive, and necessary to modernize and to stabilize the systematics of the fungal pathogens affecting insects and other invertebrates, and I urge you to adopt them into your own thinking, teaching, and publications.
