    RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN DEAD WOOD AND ARTHROPODS IN THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES by MICHAEL DARRAGH ULYSHEN (Under the Direction of James L. Hanula) ABSTRACT The importance of dead wood to maintaining forest diversity is now widely recognized. However, the habitat associations and sensitivities of many species associated with dead wood remain unknown, making it difficult to develop conservation plans for managed forests. The purpose of this research, conducted on the upper coastal plain of South Carolina, was to better understand the relationships between dead wood and arthropods in the southeastern United States. In a comparison of forest types, more beetle species emerged from logs collected in upland pine-dominated stands than in bottomland hardwood forests. This difference was most pronounced for Quercus nigra L., a species of tree uncommon in upland forests. In a comparison of wood postures, more beetle species emerged from logs than from snags, but a number of species appear to be dependent on snags including several canopy specialists. In a study of saproxylic beetle succession, species richness peaked within the first year of death and declined steadily thereafter. However, a number of species appear to be dependent on highly decayed logs, underscoring the importance of protecting wood at all stages of decay. In a study comparing litter-dwelling arthropod abundance at different distances from dead wood, arthropods were more abundant near dead wood than away from it. In another study, ground- dwelling arthropods and saproxylic beetles were little affected by large-scale manipulations of dead wood in upland pine-dominated forests, possibly due to the suitability of the forests surrounding the plots.

In most of European countries, this species is protected at different levels and it is classified as “NT” (Near Threatened) in the IUCN European Red List of Saproxylic Beetles. In Italy, it is classified as “EN” (Endangered). Its larvae are saproxylophagous and develop in branches and rotting trunks of many broadleaved tree genera.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: 25 April 2011; Accepted: 26 July 2011 ABSTRACT.– The present state of knowledge of the powder post beetles (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) of Thailand is summarised to provide a basis for future studies of the fauna and its economic importance in forestry and agriculture, including stored products. We provide a checklist, including information on the local and world distribution, biology and taxonomy of these species. Sixty species are now known to occur in Thailand, of which the following twenty-two species are recorded here for the first time: Amphicerus caenophradoides (Lesne), Bostrychopsis parallela (Lesne), Calonistes antennalis Lesne, Dinoderopsis serriger Lesne, Dinoderus exilis Lesne, D. favosus Lesne, D. gardneri Lesne, Micrapate simplicipennis (Lesne), Octodesmus episternalis Lesne, O. parvulus (Lesne), Parabostrychus acuticollis Lesne, Paraxylion bifer (Lesne), Phonapate fimbriata Lesne, Sinoxylon parviclava Lesne, S. pygmaeum Lesne, S. tignarium Lesne, Trogoxylon punctipenne (Fauvel), Xylocis

  • Coleoptera: Insecta) of Saskatchewan
    1 CHECKLIST OF BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: INSECTA) OF SASKATCHEWAN R. R. Hooper1 and D. J. Larson2 1 – Royal Saskatchewan Museum, Regina, SK. Deceased. 2 – Box 56, Maple Creek, SK. S0N 1N0 Introduction A checklist of the beetles of Canada (Bousquet 1991) was published 20 years ago in order to provide a list of the species known from Canada and Alaska along with their correct names and a indication of their distribution by major political units (provinces, territories and state). A total of 7447 species and subspecies were recognized in this work. British Columbia and Ontario had the most diverse faunas, 3628 and 3843 taxa respectively, whereas Saskatchewan had a relatively poor fauna (1673 taxa) which was about two thirds that its neighbouring provinces (Alberta – 2464; Manitoba – 2351). This raises the question of whether the Canadian beetle fauna is distributed like a doughnut with a hole in the middle, or is there some other explanation. After assembling available literature records as well as the collection records available to us, we present a list of 2312 species (generally only single subspecies of a species are recognized in the province) suggesting that the Canadian distribution pattern of species is more like that of a Bismark, the dough may be a little thinner in the center but there is also a core of good things. This list was largely R. Hopper’s project. He collected Saskatchewan insects since at least the 1960’s and over the last decade before his death he had compiled a list of the species he had collected along with other records from the literature or given him by other collectors (Hooper 2001).

  • Insects of Point Pelee National Park 2009
    INSECTS OF POINT PELEE NATIONAL PARK 2009 The University of Guelph Insect collection has a long history of survey work at Point Pelee National Park, starting with regular collecting trips arranged by D.H. Pengelly in the 1970's and continuing to the present day, with S.A. Marshall leading the project since 1982. Several reports on insect diversity in the Park have been submitted by S.A. Marshall and his students and associates, especially M. Buck, S. Paiero and O. Lonsdale. We have reported on many rare insects from the park and the nearby Lake Erie Islands, and maintained a complete list of identified Pelee and area specimens in the University of Guelph Insect Collection. Currently the Guelph collection houses close to 30,000 specimen records from Point Pelee and the Lake Erie Islands. Most of these are incorporated into an extensive BIOTA specimen database that was used to generate the species list attached below. Although the appended lists, including some 2500 species, are significant, many provincially and nationally significant insect species undoubtedly remain undocumented in Point Pelee National Park. We are continuing our 30 year tradition of building the baseline collection and associated electronic database as part of a continuing, albeit unfunded, inventory of the area. The list provided here was generated in 2009 and has been altered since the report given for the original Point Pelee survey in 1999–2000.

  • Predator to Prey to Poop: Bats As Microbial Hosts and Insectivorous Hunters
    Predator to Prey to Poop: Bats as Microbial Hosts and Insectivorous Hunters A Thesis SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Miranda Galey IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE Dr. Ron Moen, Dr. Jessica R. Sieber September 2020 Copyright © Miranda Galey 2020 Abstract Bat fecal samples are a rich source of ecological data for bat biologists, entomologists, and microbiologists. Feces collected from individual bats can be used to profile the gut microbiome using microbial DNA and to understand bat foraging strategies using arthropod DNA. We used eDNA collected from bat fecal samples to better understand bats as predators in the context of their unique gut physiology. We used high through- put sequencing of the COI gene and 16S rRNA gene to determine the diet composition and gut microbiome composition of three bat species in Minnesota: Eptesicus fuscus, Myotis lucifugus and M. septentrionalis. In our analysis of insect prey, we found that E. fuscus consistently foraged for a higher diversity of beetle species compared to other insects. We found that the proportional frequency of tympanate samples from M. septentrionalis and M. lucifugus was similar, while M. septentrionalis consistently preyed more often upon non-flying species. We used the same set of COI sequences to determine presence of pest species, rare species, and insects not previously observed in Minnesota. We were able to combine precise arthropod identification and the for- aging areas of individually sampled bats to observe possible range expansion of some insects. The taxonomic composition of the bat gut microbiome in all three species was found to be consistent with the composition of a mammalian small intestine.

Further, very few studies have focused on oak ecosystems, particularly endangered oak savannas. To investigate the woodboring beetle communities of Midwestern oak savannas we selected a high-quality remnant black oak savanna and adjacent woodland site in Northeastern Illinois.
