Spatiotemporal Pattern of Phenology Across Geographic Gradients in Insects
Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2017 Spatiotemporal pattern of phenology across geographic gradients in insects Khelifa, Rassim Abstract: Phenology – the timing of recurrent biological events – influences nearly all aspects of ecology and evolution. Phenological shifts have been recorded in a wide range of animals and plants worldwide during the past few decades. Although the phenological responses differ between taxa, they may also vary geographically, especially along gradients such as latitude or elevation. Since changes in phenology have been shown to affect ecology, evolution, human health and the economy, understanding pheno- logical shifts has become a priority. Although phenological shifts have been associated with changes in temperature, there is still little comprehension of the phenology-temperature relationship, particularly the mechanisms influencing its strength and the extent to which it varies geographically. Such ques- tions would ideally be addressed by combining controlled laboratory experiments on thermal response with long-term observational datasets and historical temperature records. Here, I used odonates (drag- onflies and damselflies) and Sepsid scavenger flies to unravel how temperature affects development and phenology at different latitudes and elevations. The main purpose of this thesis is to provide essential knowledge on the factors driving the spatiotemporal phenological dynamics by (1) investigating how phenology changed in time and space across latitude and elevation in northcentral Europe during the past three decades, (2) assessing potential temporal changes in thermal sensitivity of phenology and (3) describing the geographic pattern and usefulness of thermal performance curves in predicting natural responses. -

Natural Heritage Subarctic Darner & Endangered Species Aeshna subarctica Program State Status: Endangered www.mass.gov/nhesp Federal Status: None Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife DESCRIPTION OF ADULT: The Subarctic Darner is a stunning insect species in the order Odonata, suborder Anisoptera (the dragonflies), and family Aeshnidae (the darners). The adult is a large dragonfly magnificently colored with greens, blues, and rich browns. The thorax (winged and legged segment behind the head) is mostly brown, with two green to blue dorsal stripes and two blue-green to yellowish lateral stripes. The abdominal segments are predominantly brown with green to blue markings. The Subarctic Darner has black legs and transparent to amber-tinged wings. The face is yellow with a thin black cross-line, and the eyes are dull blue- gray to green in color. Subarctic Darners range from 2.6 to almost 3 inches (66-76 mm) in overall length, with the females averaging somewhat larger. Wingspread ranges from 3.1 to 3.6 inches (78-92 mm). SIMILAR SPECIES: Ten species of blue darners (genus Aeshna) occur regularly in Massachusetts and the Subarctic Darner closely resembles many of them in appearance. The slight differences in pattern and and can be distinguished from other Aeshna using coloration distinguish the various species. The face of characteristics as per the keys in Walker (1958). the adult Subarctic Darner is yellow with a black cross- line. In addition, the lateral thoracic stripes are bent HABITAT: Sphagnum bogs and deep fens with wet forward in their upper halves, with the top of the stripe sphagnum. -

Pseudotsuga Menziesii
SPECIAL PUBLICATION 4 SEPTEMBER 1982 INVERTEBRATES OF THE H.J. ANDREWS EXPERIMENTAL FOREST, WESTERN CASCADE MOUNTAINS, OREGON: A SURVEY OF ARTHROPODS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CANOPY OF OLD-GROWTH Pseudotsuga Menziesii D.J. Voegtlin FORUT REJEARCH LABORATORY SCHOOL OF FORESTRY OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY Since 1941, the Forest Research Laboratory--part of the School of Forestry at Oregon State University in Corvallis-- has been studying forests and why they are like they are. A staff or more than 50 scientists conducts research to provide information for wise public and private decisions on managing and using Oregons forest resources and operating its wood-using industries. Because of this research, Oregons forests now yield more in the way of wood products, water, forage, wildlife, and recreation. Wood products are harvested, processed, and used more efficiently. Employment, productivity, and profitability in industries dependent on forests also have been strengthened. And this research has helped Oregon to maintain a quality environment for its people. Much research is done in the Laboratorys facilities on the campus. But field experiments in forest genetics, young- growth management, forest hydrology, harvesting methods, and reforestation are conducted on 12,000 acres of School forests adjacent to the campus and on lands of public and private cooperating agencies throughout the Pacific Northwest. With these publications, the Forest Research Laboratory supplies the results of its research to forest land owners and managers, to manufacturers and users of forest products, to leaders of government and industry, and to the general public. The Author David J. Voegtlin is Assistant Taxonomist at the Illinois Natural History Survey, Champaign, Illinois. -
Dragonflies - 2003
DRAGONFLIES - 2003 Banded Demoiselle Calopteryx splendens More commonly recorded along streams and rivers but small numbers are now regularly seen along the canal since the first on July 6, 1987. The only record away from the canal was at Fly Pool on August 20 1993. Emerald Damselfly Lestes sponsa This is a common species especially where there is emergent vegetation amongst which it is well camouflaged. Most frequent from July to August. Large Red Damselfly Pyrrhosoma nymphula Frequently the first species to be recorded in the spring. Small numbers can be found at most sites usually from mid-May to early August. Red-eyed Damselfly Erythromma najas A regionally scarce species that is locally common during June and July on the canals of the Brownhills and Pelsall area and at Marklew’s Pond on Brownhills Common. It has been recorded once at Chasewater on the Nine Foot Pool. Azure Damselfly Coenagrion puella A fairly common species mainly recorded from the well vegetated smaller pools from late May to the end of July. Common Blue Damselfly Enallagma cyathigerum Probably the most abundant species and it can often be seen flying low over open water from late May to early September. Blue-tailed Damselfly Ischnura elegans A very common species to be found in good numbers from late May to the end of August. Colour variant females are occasionally noted. Common Hawker Aeshna juncea Essentially a heathland species that can usually be seen around the North Marsh and the Eastern Heath in August and September. Migrant Hawker Aeshna mixta A relatively recent coloniser of South Staffordshire with Chasewater’s first record being on September 27, 1990. -

Gossner5 1 Molecular Taxonomy of Marine Organisms, German Center of Marine Biodiversity (DZMB), Senckenberg am Meer, Wilhelmshaven, Germany, 2 Sektion Insecta varia, Bavarian State Collection of Zoology (SNSB – ZSM), Mu¨nchen, Germany, 3 Department of Animal Ecology II, University of Bayreuth, Bayreuth, Germany, 4 Taxonomic coordinator – Barcoding Fauna Bavarica, Bavarian State Collection of Zoology (SNSB – ZSM), Mu¨nchen, Germany, 5 Terrestrial Ecology Research Group, Department of Ecology and Ecosystem Management, Technische Universita¨tMu¨nchen, Freising-Weihenstephan, Germany Abstract During the last few years, DNA barcoding has become an efficient method for the identification of species. In the case of insects, most published DNA barcoding studies focus on species of the Ephemeroptera, Trichoptera, Hymenoptera and especially Lepidoptera. In this study we test the efficiency of DNA barcoding for true bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera), an ecological and economical highly important as well as morphologically diverse insect taxon. As part of our study we analyzed DNA barcodes for 1742 specimens of 457 species, comprising 39 families of the Heteroptera. We found low nucleotide distances with a minimum pairwise K2P distance ,2.2% within 21 species pairs (39 species). For ten of these species pairs (18 species), minimum pairwise distances were zero. In contrast to this, deep intraspecific sequence divergences with maximum pairwise distances .2.2% were detected for 16 traditionally recognized and valid species. With a successful identification rate of 91.5% (418 species) our study emphasizes the use of DNA barcodes for the identification of true bugs and represents an important step in building-up a comprehensive barcode library for true bugs in Germany and Central Europe as well.
