C. P. 04510. Del. Coyoacán, Ciudad de México, México. E-mail: [email protected] 2Corresponding author Abstract Spider community inventories have relatively well-established standardized collecting protocols. Such protocols set rules for the orderly acquisition of samples to estimate community parameters and to establish comparisons between areas. These methods have been tested worldwide, providing useful data for inventory planning and optimal sampling allocation efforts. The taxonomic counterpart of biodiversity inventories has received considerably less attention. Species lists and their relative abundances are the only link between the community parameters resulting from a biotic inventory and the biology of the species that live there. However, this connection is lost or speculative at best for species only partially identified (e. g., to genus but not to species). This link is particularly important for diverse tropical regions were many taxa are undescribed or little known such as spiders. One approach to this problem has been the development of biodiversity inventory websites that document the morphology of the species with digital images organized as standard views.

Received: 13 May 2020; Accepted: 15 July 2020; Published: date Abstract: Potyviruses are the largest group of plant infecting RNA viruses that cause significant losses in a wide range of crops across the globe. The majority of viruses in the genus Potyvirus are transmitted by aphids in a non-persistent, non-circulative manner and have been extensively studied vis-à-vis their structure, taxonomy, evolution, diagnosis, transmission and molecular interactions with hosts. This comprehensive review exclusively discusses potyviruses and their transmission by aphid vectors, specifically in the light of several virus, aphid and plant factors, and how their interplay influences potyviral binding in aphids, aphid behavior and fitness, host plant biochemistry, virus epidemics, and transmission bottlenecks. We present the heatmap of the global distribution of potyvirus species, variation in the potyviral coat protein gene, and top aphid vectors of potyviruses. Lastly, we examine how the fundamental understanding of these multi-partite interactions through multi-omics approaches is already contributing to, and can have future implications for, devising effective and sustainable management strategies against aphid- transmitted potyviruses to global agriculture.

  • Evolutionary Lability of a Complex Life Cycle in the Aphid Genus Brachycaudus Emmanuelle Jousselin*, Gwenaelle Genson, Armelle Coeur D’Acier
    Jousselin et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2010, 10:295 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/10/295 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Evolutionary lability of a complex life cycle in the aphid genus Brachycaudus Emmanuelle Jousselin*, Gwenaelle Genson, Armelle Coeur d’acier Abstract Background: Most aphid species complete their life cycle on the same set of host-plant species, but some (heteroecious species) alternate between different hosts, migrating from primary (woody) to secondary (herbaceous) host plants. The evolutionary processes behind the evolution of this complex life cycle have often been debated. One widely accepted scenario is that heteroecy evolved from monoecy on woody host plants. Several shifts towards monoecy on herbaceous plants have subsequently occurred and resulted in the radiation of aphids. Host alternation would have persisted in some cases due to developmental constraints preventing aphids from shifting their entire life cycle to herbaceous hosts (which are thought to be more favourable). According to this scenario, if aphids lose their primary host during evolution they should not regain it. The genus Brachycaudus includes species with all the types of life cycle (monoecy on woody plants, heteroecy, monoecy on herbs). We used this genus to test hypotheses concerning the evolution of life cycles in aphids. Results: Phylogenetic investigation and character reconstruction suggest that life cycle is evolutionary labile in the genus. Though ancestral character states can be ambiguous depending on optimization methods, all analyses suggest that transitions from monoecy on herbs towards heteroecy have occurred several times. Transitions from heteroecy towards monoecy, are also likely. There have been many shifts in feeding behaviour but we found no significant correlation between life cycle changes and changes in diet.

  • Notes on the Jumping Spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) of Nicaragua, with Some Other Records from Central America
    Rev Rev. Nica. Ent., (1993) 26:31-37. NOTES ON THE JUMPING SPIDERS (ARANEAE: SALTICIDAE) OF NICARAGUA, WITH SOME OTHER RECORDS FROM CENTRAL AMERICA. David B. RICHMAN.* RESUMEN Una colección de arañas Salticidae, principalmente de Nicaragua, se identificó y los resultados se presentan en una lista. Es la primera publicación sobre Salticidae de Nicaragua, los datos publicados anteriormente son mencionados en la introducción. ABSTRACT A collection of salticids, mostly from Nicaragua, was identified and an annotated list of these is presented here. This appears to be one of the first publications primarily on Nicaraguan salticid spiders and indicates a major lack of information on this large family in a country which undoubtly has an extensive fauna. file:///C|/My%20Documents/REVISTA/REV%2026/26%20Richman%20-%20Salticidae.htm (1 of 7) [10/11/2002 05:43:10 p.m.] Rev * Department of Entomology, Plant Pathology and Weed Science, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM 88003, USA. INTRODUCTION The salticid spider fauna of Central America is still poorly known. Only Panama has had an extensive faunal study published (Chickering, 1946). Most of the other records in the literature are from either Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica or El Salvador (Peckham & Peckham, 1896; Pickard-Cambridge, 1901; Banks, 1909; Kraus, 1955). In fact, there are no records of Nicaraguan salticids in the major spider catalogs (Roewer, 1954; Brignoli, 1983; Platnick, 1989), or in Pickard-Cambridge (1901), although some records are listed with range data from a country to the north and the south of Nicaragua or from "Central America" generally. One article (Cutler, 1981) contains one record for Paradamoetas formicina Peckham & Peckham from Musawas, Zelaya and another (Galiano, 1982) one record for Nycerella delecta (Peckham & Peckham) from San Marcos, Carazo.

  • And Their Aphid Partners (Homoptera: Aphididae) in Mashhad Region, Razavi Khorasan Province, with New Records of Aphids and Ant Species for Fauna of Iran
    ISSN 0973-1555(Print) ISSN 2348-7372(Online) HALTERES, Volume 6, 4-12, 2015 ZOHREH SADAT MORTAZAVI, HUSSEIN SADEGHI, NIHAT AKTAC, ŁUKASZ DEPA AND LIDA FEKRAT Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and their aphid partners (Homoptera: Aphididae) in Mashhad region, Razavi Khorasan Province, with new records of aphids and ant species for Fauna of Iran Zohreh Sadat Mortazavi1, Hussein Sadeghi1*, Nihat Aktac2, Łukasz Depa3, Lida Fekrat1 1 Department of Plant Protection, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran 2 Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, Trakya University, Turkey 3Department of Zoology, University of Silesia, Bankowa 9, 40-007 Katowice, Poland (e-mail: *[email protected]) Abstract A survey of ant-aphid associations was conducted by collecting and identifying samples of ants and aphids found together on aphid host plants in Mashhad region, Razavi Khorasan province of Iran. As a result, a total of 21 ant species representing 13 genera and 3 subfamilies and 26 aphid species belonging to 13 genera from 37 host plant species were collected and identified. Among the recorded ant species, the genus Crematogaster with four species had the highest species richness. The three most frequent aphid attendant ants were Lepisiota nigra (Dalla Torre, 1893), Tapinoma erraticum (Latreille, 1798) and Crematogaster inermis Mayr, 1862 associated with 11, 10 and 9 aphid species, respectively. Eleven ant species were recorded from the colonies of one aphid species. Among the recorded ants, the species Crematogaster sordidula (Nylander, 1849) is new to Iranian ant fauna. This record increases the recorded ant-fauna of Iran to over 171 species. Among the identified aphid species, Aphis craccivora Koch, 1856 had the highest ant attraction.
