The Role of Mating Systems in Sexual Selection in Parasitoid Wasps
Biol. Rev. (2014), pp. 000–000. 1 doi: 10.1111/brv.12126 Beyond sex allocation: the role of mating systems in sexual selection in parasitoid wasps Rebecca A. Boulton∗, Laura A. Collins and David M. Shuker Centre for Biological Diversity, School of Biology, University of St Andrews, Dyers Brae, Greenside place, Fife KY16 9TH, U.K. ABSTRACT Despite the diverse array of mating systems and life histories which characterise the parasitic Hymenoptera, sexual selection and sexual conflict in this taxon have been somewhat overlooked. For instance, parasitoid mating systems have typically been studied in terms of how mating structure affects sex allocation. In the past decade, however, some studies have sought to address sexual selection in the parasitoid wasps more explicitly and found that, despite the lack of obvious secondary sexual traits, sexual selection has the potential to shape a range of aspects of parasitoid reproductive behaviour and ecology. Moreover, various characteristics fundamental to the parasitoid way of life may provide innovative new ways to investigate different processes of sexual selection. The overall aim of this review therefore is to re-examine parasitoid biology with sexual selection in mind, for both parasitoid biologists and also researchers interested in sexual selection and the evolution of mating systems more generally. We will consider aspects of particular relevance that have already been well studied including local mating structure, sex allocation and sperm depletion. We go on to review what we already know about sexual selection in the parasitoid wasps and highlight areas which may prove fruitful for further investigation. In particular, sperm depletion and the costs of inbreeding under chromosomal sex determination provide novel opportunities for testing the role of direct and indirect benefits for the evolution of mate choice. -
Annotated Checklist of the Spiders of Turkey
_____________Mun. Ent. Zool. Vol. 12, No. 2, June 2017__________ 433 ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF THE SPIDERS OF TURKEY Hakan Demir* and Osman Seyyar* * Niğde University, Faculty of Science and Arts, Department of Biology, TR–51100 Niğde, TURKEY. E-mails: [email protected]; [email protected] [Demir, H. & Seyyar, O. 2017. Annotated checklist of the spiders of Turkey. Munis Entomology & Zoology, 12 (2): 433-469] ABSTRACT: The list provides an annotated checklist of all the spiders from Turkey. A total of 1117 spider species and two subspecies belonging to 52 families have been reported. The list is dominated by members of the families Gnaphosidae (145 species), Salticidae (143 species) and Linyphiidae (128 species) respectively. KEY WORDS: Araneae, Checklist, Turkey, Fauna To date, Turkish researches have been published three checklist of spiders in the country. The first checklist was compiled by Karol (1967) and contains 302 spider species. The second checklist was prepared by Bayram (2002). He revised Karol’s (1967) checklist and reported 520 species from Turkey. Latest checklist of Turkish spiders was published by Topçu et al. (2005) and contains 613 spider records. A lot of work have been done in the last decade about Turkish spiders. So, the checklist of Turkish spiders need to be updated. We updated all checklist and prepare a new checklist using all published the available literatures. This list contains 1117 species of spider species and subspecies belonging to 52 families from Turkey (Table 1). This checklist is compile from literature dealing with the Turkish spider fauna. The aim of this study is to determine an update list of spider in Turkey. -

Araneae, biological control, ground hunter, predator, abundance, diversity, shelter Abstract. Spiders are generalist predators that contribute to the control of pests in agroecosystems. Land use management determines habitats including refuges for hibernation and aestivation. The availability of shelters on the ground can be crucial for maintaining populations of spider within crops. We studied the effect of the number of stones on the surface of the soil on the spi- der community in selected olive groves in Trás-os-Montes (northeastern Portugal). -

Ground-living spiders of different habitats in the Caban˜eros National Park, central Spain, each under different management conditions, were studied to characterize their community richness and composition. Five different habitats were selected: Mediterranean forest, abandoned pine plantations and three kinds of dehesas or meadows (differing in their understory management). In three sampling periods, during two springs and one in fall (2001–2002), a total of 1,152 pitfall traps were deployed in five different habitats. A total of 3,801 adult spiders, representing 105 species from 24 families were collected, among which 13 are considered endemic for the Iberian Peninsula. Correspondence analysis and indicator species analysis showed that spider richness and assemblages differed considerably among the different habitats. The scrub dehesa had the highest ground-living spider richness. Twenty-three indicator species were identified for the different habitats, of which four are considered endemic for the Iberian Peninsula. Gnaphosidae have a high potential as indicators of habitat quality. Keywords: Araneae, dehesa, endemic, Iberian Peninsula, indicator species Ground-living spider (Araneae) assemblages are influenced dehesa (Pineda & Peco 1987; Joffre et al. -

SPIDER RECORDING SCHEME NEWS [email protected] NUMBER 49 JULY 2004 Enoplognatha latimana in Wiltshire by Martin Askins Enoplognatha latimana Hippa & Oksala, 1982 was first re- corded in Wiltshire on 3rd August 1998, at Stanton Park, Forestry Commission land in North Wiltshire. The speci- mens, two males, were taken in a cleared area of the park with long grass, some brambles and sporadic saplings (including pine). A return visit, on 5th August 2000, con- firmed the species’ presence with an adult female. Prior to this confirmation, on 30th August 1999, a second site in Wiltshire was found, this time at West Down near Tilshead on the Salisbury Plain in South Wiltshire, when two females and cocoons were found. In 2003 several sites on Salisbury Plain were visited over the period from the end of June and into July. E. latimana was found at seven of the sites. In general the spiders occurred in areas of grassland with isolated or sparse clumps of taller plants. At the same time several sites on the Marlborough Downs were examined, but no new sites for E. latimana were found. The maps show the records for E. ovata and E. latimana in Wiltshire (filled symbols represent records made in 2003; the lined areas denote underlying chalk or limestone). The records for E. ovata give an indication of the sites visited in 2003. Distribution of Enoplognatha latimana in Wiltshire. Though the sites on the Marlborough Downs were mainly road or pathside and not ‘identical’ to those on Salisbury It appears that E. latimana occurs widely on the Salis- Plain, the absence of E.
