MATHIS SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 287 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoo/ogy Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world cf science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

  • Predator to Prey to Poop: Bats As Microbial Hosts and Insectivorous Hunters
    Predator to Prey to Poop: Bats as Microbial Hosts and Insectivorous Hunters A Thesis SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Miranda Galey IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE Dr. Ron Moen, Dr. Jessica R. Sieber September 2020 Copyright © Miranda Galey 2020 Abstract Bat fecal samples are a rich source of ecological data for bat biologists, entomologists, and microbiologists. Feces collected from individual bats can be used to profile the gut microbiome using microbial DNA and to understand bat foraging strategies using arthropod DNA. We used eDNA collected from bat fecal samples to better understand bats as predators in the context of their unique gut physiology. We used high through- put sequencing of the COI gene and 16S rRNA gene to determine the diet composition and gut microbiome composition of three bat species in Minnesota: Eptesicus fuscus, Myotis lucifugus and M. septentrionalis. In our analysis of insect prey, we found that E. fuscus consistently foraged for a higher diversity of beetle species compared to other insects. We found that the proportional frequency of tympanate samples from M. septentrionalis and M. lucifugus was similar, while M. septentrionalis consistently preyed more often upon non-flying species. We used the same set of COI sequences to determine presence of pest species, rare species, and insects not previously observed in Minnesota. We were able to combine precise arthropod identification and the for- aging areas of individually sampled bats to observe possible range expansion of some insects. The taxonomic composition of the bat gut microbiome in all three species was found to be consistent with the composition of a mammalian small intestine.

    Basic Arthropod Taxonomy Arthropods include the insects, spiders, mites, ticks, ostracods, copepods, scorpions, centipedes, shrimps, and crayfishes. Of these, insects make up > 50% of all the nominal species of organisms in the world. Insects and its allies or relatives whether pests or beneficials are part of rice ecosystems. Basic arthropod identification is important in ecological research to understand interactions, which are vital for developing better pest management tools and strategies. This manual will focus on: • Identification of different arthropod groups. • Identification of major diagnostic features of the most common and important arthropod orders, families and species especially insects and spiders in the rice agricultural landscape using taxonomic keys. • Handling and preserving arthropods for identification.

Com- paring this to the list of Hackman (1980), 52 changes are made: 25 species are added (all but one recorded after 1980), 18 misidentifications are deleted, 5 junior synonyms are replaced and 5 updated generic combinations are given. Keywords Checklist, Finland, Diptera, Ephydridae Introduction Shore flies (Ephydridae) are dark coloured, dull to shining, 1–6 mm long flies. Most species develop in aquatic or semi-aquatic conditions, feeding of algae, bacteria, yeasts or even decaying animal matter and excrements; or they are phytophagous and mining in leaves or stems. The group is divided into 5 subfamilies and 19 tribes (Zatwarnicki 1992), of which 15 could potentially be found in Finland.

    HABITAT DISTRIBUTION OF THE SHORE FLIES OF NORTHEASTERN OHIO (DIPTERA: EPHYDRIDAE)12 JOSEPH F. SCHEIRING AND B. A. FOOTE Department of Biological Sciences, Kent State University, Kent, Ohio 442Jfi ABSTRACT A study of the habitat distribution of 68 species of shore flies (Ephydridae) was carried out in northeastern Ohio between April of 1968 and November of 1969. Ten ephydrid habitats were recognized: mud-shore, sand-shore, grass-shore, limnic-wrack, marsh-reed, sedge-meadow, floating-vegetation, floating-algal-mat, rain-pool, and salt-pool habitats. The mud shore contained the greatest diversity of Ephydridae, whereas the salt-pool habi- tat produced the largest populations. The floating algal mat possessed the fewest number of species, as well as the least number of individuals. Three species were recorded from Ohio for the first time: Atissia litoralis (Cole), Ephydra cincrea Jones, and E. niveiceps Cresson. A listing of all species collected, together with information on habitat from which taken, abundance, and relation of data to other published material, is also included. INTRODUCTION AND METHODS Although the taxonomy and adult morphology of the ephydrid flies have been studied intensively, relatively little attention has been given to understanding their ecological requirements. The different species occur in an amazing diversity of aquatic and semi-aquatic habitats and have been highly successful in invading unusual environments not tolerated by most other species of Diptera. They have elicited considerable interest because of their abundance in highly alkaline and saline waters, such as those found in many areas of our arid west. The3r are also well represented in hot and cold mineral springs.
