  • Lepidoptera, Zygaenidae

München, download unter www.zobodat.at _______Atalanta (Dezember 2003) 34(3/4):443-451, Würzburg, ISSN 0171-0079 _______ Natural enemies of burnets (Lepidoptera, Zygaenidae) 2nd Contribution to the knowledge of hymenoptera paraziting burnets (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Ichneumonidae, Chaleididae) by Tadeusz Kazmierczak & J erzy S. D ^browski received 18.VIII.2003 Abstract: New trophic relationships between Braconidae, Ichneumonidae, Chaleididae, Pteromalidae, Encyrtidae, Torymidae, Eulophidae (Hymenoptera) and burnets (Lepidoptera, Zygaenidae) collected in selected regions of southern Poland are considered. Introduction Over 30 species of insects from the family Zygaenidae (Lepidoptera) occur in Central Europe. The occurrence of sixteen of them was reported in Poland (D/^browski & Krzywicki , 1982; D/^browski, 1998). Most of these species are decidedly xerothermophilous, i.e. they inhabit dry, open and strongly insolated habitats. Among the species discussed in this paperZygaena (Zygaena) angelicae O chsenheimer, Z. (Agrumenia) carniolica (Scopoli) and Z (Zygaena) loti (Denis & Schiffermuller) have the greatest requirements in this respect, and they mainly live in dry, strongly insolated grasslands situated on lime and chalk subsoil. The remaining species occur in fresh and moist habitats, e. g. in forest meadows and peatbogs. Due to overgrowing of the habitats of these insects with shrubs and trees as a result of natural succession and re­ forestation, or other antropogenic activities (urbanization, land reclamation) their numbers decrease, and they become more and more rare and endangered. During many years of investigations concerning the family Zygaenidae their primary and secondary parasitoids belonging to several families of Hymenoptera were reared. The host species were as follows: Adscita (Adscita) statices (L.), Zygaena (Mesembrynus) brizae (Esper), Z (Mesembrynus) minos (Denis & Schiffermuller), Z.

At the same time, growing concerns about declines of pollinator species raise the question of whether vector control practices might affect pollinator populations. We report the results of a task force of the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign (NAPPC) that examined potential effects of vector management practices on pollinators, and how these pro- grams could be adjusted to minimize negative effects on pollinating species. The main types of vector control practices that might affect pollinators are landscape manipulation, biocontrol, and pesticide applications. Some current practices already minimize effects of vector control on pollinators (e.g., short-lived pesticides and application-targeting technologies). Nontarget effects can be further diminished by taking pollinator protection into account in the planning stages of vector management programs.

  • Acetogen Communities in the Gut of Herbivores and Their Potential Role in Syngas Fermentation
    fermentation Article Acetogen Communities in the Gut of Herbivores and Their Potential Role in Syngas Fermentation Chunlei Yang Institute of Dairy Science, MoE Key Laboratory of Molecular Animal Nutrition, College of Animal Sciences, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China; [email protected] Received: 2 May 2018; Accepted: 4 June 2018; Published: 7 June 2018 Abstract: To better understand the effects of host selection on gut acetogens and their potential role in syngas fermentation, the composition and hydrogenotrophic features of acetogen populations in cow and sheep rumens, rabbit ceca, and horse feces were studied. The acetogens detected in horses and rabbits were more phylogenetically diverse than those in cows and sheep, suggesting that the host species plays an important role in shaping gut acetogen populations. Acetogen enrichments from these animals presented good capacities to use hydrogen, with acetate as the major end product. Minor propionate, butyrate, and isovalerate were also produced. During 48 h of incubation, acetogen enrichments from horse consumed 4.75 moles of H2 to every 1 mole of acetate—significantly lower than rabbits, cows, and sheep (5.17, 5.53, and 5.23 moles, respectively) (p < 0.05)—and produced significantly more butyrate (p < 0.05). Enrichments from cows and sheep produced significantly higher amounts of propionate when compared to rabbits or horses (p < 0.05); enrichments from sheep produced the highest amounts of isovalerate (p < 0.05). These short chain fatty acids are important precursors for the synthesis of biofuel products, suggesting that gut contents of herbivores may be promising sources for harvesting functional acetogens for biofuel production.

E-mail: [email protected] Received 15 August 2011; Revised 4 November 2011; Accepted 8 November 2011 Downloaded from Abstract While the reductive pentose phosphate cycle is responsible for the fixation of most of the carbon in the biosphere, it http://jxb.oxfordjournals.org/ has several natural substitutes. In fact, due to the characterization of three new carbon fixation pathways in the last decade, the diversity of known metabolic solutions for autotrophic growth has doubled. In this review, the different pathways are analysed and compared according to various criteria, trying to connect each of the different metabolic alternatives to suitable environments or metabolic goals. The different roles of carbon fixation are discussed; in addition to sustaining autotrophic growth it can also be used for energy conservation and as an electron sink for the recycling of reduced electron carriers. Our main focus in this review is on thermodynamic and kinetic aspects, including thermodynamically challenging reactions, the ATP requirement of each pathway, energetic constraints on carbon fixation, and factors that are expected to limit the rate of the pathways. Finally, possible metabolic structures at Weizmann Institute of Science on July 3, 2016 of yet unknown carbon fixation pathways are suggested and discussed.

Country level data (i.e. occurrence in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the Isle of Man) is reported where known. New information A total of 1754 British and Irish Chalcidoidea species represents a 22% increase on the number of British species known in 1978.

Antitick plants and related ethnoknowledge/ethnopractices with potential for integrated tick control and management strategies to improve livestock production are reviewed. About 231 plants reviewed showed a variety of bioactive properties, namely, being toxic, repellent, antifeedant, and antiovipositant and ability to immobilize target tick species. These ethnobotanical substances are potentially useful in developing sustainable, efficient, and effective antitick agents suitable for rural livestock farmers.

Received: 1 April 2020; Accepted: 29 April 2020; Published: 30 April 2020 Abstract: For the development of sustainable control of tick-borne diseases, insight is needed in biological factors that affect tick populations. Here, the ecological interactions among Ixodiphagus hookeri, Ixodes ricinus, and two vertebrate species groups were investigated in relation to their effects on tick-borne disease risk. In 1129 questing ticks, I. hookeri DNA was detected more often in I. ricinus nymphs (4.4%) than in larvae (0.5%) and not in adults. Therefore, we determined the infestation rate of I. hookeri in nymphs from 19 forest sites, where vertebrate, tick, and tick-borne pathogen communities had been previously quantified. We found higher than expected co-occurrence rates of I.
