To shed light on the intra-ordinal and inter-ordinal relationships among Phas- matodea, more mitochondrial genomes of stick insects are used to explore mitogenome structures and clarify the disputes regarding the phylogenetic relationships among Phasmatodea. We sequence and annotate the first acquired complete mitochondrial genome from the family Pseudophasmati- dae (Peruphasma schultei), the first reported mitochondrial genome from the genus Phryganistria Citation: Xu, K.-K.; Chen, Q.-P.; Ayivi, of Phasmatidae (P. guangxiensis), and the complete mitochondrial genome of Orestes guangxiensis S.P.G.; Guan, J.-Y.; Storey, K.B.; Yu, belonging to the family Heteropterygidae.

    Stick Insects Fact Sheet Female Titan Stick Insect. Image: QM, Jeff Wright. Introduction Biology Stick and leaf insects, scientifically known as phasmids, Females lay eggs one at a time, often with a flick of their are among the largest of all insects in the world. At 26 cm, abdomens to throw the egg some distance. An individual the Titan Stick Insect (Acrophylla titan) is the longest of female drops eggs at a rate of one to several per day and all Australian insects. Phasmids have perfected the art of she can produce between 100 and 1,300 eggs in her life- camouflage. Some resemble sticks and foliage so closely time. They fall to the ground and lie in the leaf litter. they even feature false buds, thorns and ragged leaf-like flanges. Small wonder they are rarely seen except after storms when they are blown out of threes and shrubs. Phasmids are sometimes confused with a different group of insects, the mantids. Also called Praying Mantids, these are predators with large, spiny front legs, held folded ready to strike and grasp prey. In contrast, Phasmids are herbivores (plant-eaters) with simple front legs that are similar in size and structure to their other legs. A variety of insect eggs. (on left). An ant carrying a stick insect egg (on right). Images: QM, Jeff Wright. All stick insects feed on fresh leaves. Some browse on a wide variety of trees and shrubs but others are fussy, eating only a limited range of host plants that are often closely Stick insect eggs are generally oval, and superficially seed- related to each other.

  • 2012 Economic Impacts of Marine Invasive Species

    2012 Economic Impacts of Marine Invasive Species

    Final Report to the Prince William Sound Regional Citizens’ Advisory Council Marine Invasive Species Program Contract No. 952.11.04 FINAL REPORT: July 19, 2011 – July 31, 2012 Submitted July 31, 2012 The opinions expressed in this PWSRCAC-commissioned report are not necessarily those of PWSRCAC Project Overview Non-Indigenous Species (NIS) may specifically be classified as invasive when ecologically or economically damaging and/or causing harm to human health. We see the economic consequences of invasions in other states and regions. Alaska has not experienced significant impacts to date but examples tell us it may only be a matter of time, and all the more assured if we do nothing or little to prevent and mitigate invasions. To date, we as a state have not undertaken an economic assessment to estimate how severe an economic impact could be due to marine invasive species. Without this economic analysis the environmental arguments supporting action for an Alaska Council on Invasive Species become mute. There may be impacts, there may be environmental consequences, but a louder voice echoing the economic impacts may be required to get the ear of the Legislature. To this end we proposed to work in collaboration with the University of Alaska Anchorage’s Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER) to assess economic benefits and costs of taking action versus no action on invasive species in Alaska. This project is a result of the Marine Invasive Species Workshop held in 2010 by the Marine Subcommittee of the Alaska Invasive Species Working Group. Workshop participants discussed the status of marine invasive species in Alaska, the state’s invasive species policies and management, and the potential impacts of marine invasive species on Alaska’s commercial, recreation, and subsistence economies.

    A Study on the Distribution and Level of Cadmium in Scallop Bractechlamys Vexillum (Reeve 1853) from the Visayan Sea, Philippines

    Perelonia et al. / The Philippine Journal of Fisheries 28(1): 33-43 January - June 2021 DOI: 10.31398/tpjf/28.1.2020A0008 RESEARCH ARTICLE A Study on the Distribution and Level of Cadmium in Scallop Bractechlamys vexillum (Reeve 1853) from the Visayan Sea, Philippines Karl Bryan S. Perelonia* , Riza Jane S. Banicod, Kathlene Cleah D. Benitez, Gezelle C. Tadifa, Bryan E. Tanyag, Flordeliza D. Cambia, Ulysses M. Montojo Fisheries Postharvest Research and Development Division – Seafood Quality and Safety Section National Fisheries Research and Development Institute, Quezon City, Philippines ABSTRACT Bivalves such as scallop Bractechlamys vexillum are considered an essential resource for livelihood and revenues in the Visayan Sea, central Philippines. To date, there are several reports that the local marine ecosystems are contaminated with heavy metals like cadmium; hence, these species are also susceptible to bioaccumulation of cadmium because they feed mainly by filtering particles from contaminated water. In recent studies, scallops are suggested to be a potential bioindicator for cadmium contamination due to their ability to accumulate and tolerate the metal. This research aims to examine the anatomical distribution of cadmium in B. vexillum and measure the relationship between shell weight and cadmium concentration. The sites for this study include Carles, Iloilo, Madridejos, Cebu, and Cawayan, Masbate. Five organs were analyzed: adductor muscle, digestive gland, gonad, gill, and mantle. The analysis for quantification of cadmium in the different scallop parts was carried out by Inductively Coupled Plasma – Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES Model ICPE-9820, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). Results showed that cadmium preferentially accumulates in the digestive gland, accounting for 76.39% of the total metal concentration.
