Desde que en el siglo XVII el italiano Marcelo Malpighi (Crevalcore, 1628 - Roma, 1694) descubriera la relación causa-efecto entre un insecto y su agalla, numerosos naturalistas y científicos han centrado sus esfuerzos en estas estructuras vegetales, hasta hacer de la Cecidología (Ciencia que se ocupa del estudio de las agallas de las plantas) una ciencia de ámbito multidisciplinar que se asienta en estudios ecológicos, morfológicos y estructurales, etiológicos, taxonómicos, faunísticos, histológicos, fisiológicos, genéticos, etc. En este estudio se hará un repaso de que son las agallas y de los distintos estudios que pueden realizarse a partir de las agallas producidas por los Cynipidae (Hymenoptera). Palabras Clave: agallas, encinos, ecosistema, estudios. The oak galls: a miniature ecosystem which makes possible multidisciplinary studies ABSTRACT. Since the Italian Marcelo Malpighi (Crevalcore, 1628 - Roma, 1694) discovered the cause and effect relationship between an insect and its gall in the XVII century, many naturalists and scientists have focused their efforts in these plant structures to make for the Cecidology (science that deals with the study of plants galls) a multidisciplinary science based on different branches: ecologic, morphological, structural, etiologic, taxonomic, faunistic, histologic, physiologic, genetic, etc. In this work a review of what the galls are and the diverse studies which can be carried out from the Cynipidae (Hymenoptera) galls is made. Key words: galls, oaks, ecosystem, studies.

Ecology of aquatic and semi-aquatic Lepidoptera Krzysztof Pabis* Department of Invertebrate Zoology and Hydrobiology, University of Lodz, Banacha 12/16, 90-237 Lodz, Poland Abstract – This paper reviews the current knowledge on the ecology of aquatic and semi-aquatic moths, and discusses possible pre-adaptations of the moths to the aquatic environment. It also highlights major gaps in our understanding of this group of aquatic insects. Aquatic and semi-aquatic moths represent only a tiny fraction of the total lepidopteran diversity. Only about 0.5% of 165,000 known lepidopterans are aquatic; mostly in the preimaginal stages. Truly aquatic species can be found only among the Crambidae, Cosmopterigidae and Erebidae, while semi-aquatic forms associated with amphibious or marsh plants are known in thirteen other families. These lepidopterans have developed various strategies and adaptations that have allowed them to stay under water or in close proximity to water. Problems of respiratory adaptations, locomotor abilities, influence of predators and parasitoids, as well as feeding preferences are discussed. Nevertheless, the poor knowledge on their biology, life cycles, genomics and phylogenetic relationships preclude the generation of fully comprehensive evolutionary scenarios.

  • The Herbivorous Insect Fauna of a Submersed Weed, Hydrilla Verticillata (Alismatales: Hydrocharitaceae)
    SESSION 5 Weeds of Aquatic Systems and Wetlands Proceedings of the X International Symposium on Biological Control of Weeds 307 4-14 July 1999, Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana, USA Neal R. Spencer [ed.]. pp. 307-313 (2000) The Herbivorous Insect Fauna of a Submersed Weed, Hydrilla verticillata (Alismatales: Hydrocharitaceae) C. A. BENNETT1 and G. R. BUCKINGHAM2 1 Department of Entomology and Nematology, University of Florida, and 2 USDA-ARS 1,2 Florida Biological Control Laboratory, P.O. Box 147100, Gainesville, Florida 32614-7100, USA Abstract Although relatively few insects have been reported to feed on submersed aquatic plants, field surveys on Hydrilla verticillata (L. F.) Royle for biological control agents have demonstrated that insect herbivores should be expected when surveying submersed aquatic plants in the native ranges. Beetles, or Coleoptera, especially the weevils (Curculionidae), are important herbivores. Weevils attack submersed plant species both when water is present and when water is absent during dry periods which leave the plants exposed. Pupal success appears to be the major determinant of weevil life cycle strategies. Donaciine leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae) attack the roots or crowns of submersed species, but their feeding and damage is difficult to determine. Leaf-mining Hydrellia flies (Diptera: Ephydridae) are diverse and common on submersed species. Other flies, the midges (Chironomidae), are also common on submersed species, but many utilize the plants only for shelter. However, midge larvae ate the apical meristems on the tips of hydrilla stems. Aquatic caterpillars (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) are the herbivores most eas- ily observed on submersed species because of their large size and conspicuous damage, but their host ranges might be too broad for use as biological control agents.

  • Recommendation for Interceptions and Findings of Parapoynx Polydectalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), a Species of Moth Whose Caterpillars Are Aquatic
    Recommendation for interceptions and findings of Parapoynx polydectalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), a species of moth whose caterpillars are aquatic 19 February 2013 This is the result of a brief assessment of readily available literature which indicates that statutory action against this organism is unlikely to be appropriate. Species / Taxonomic Parapoynx polydectalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) group Reason for An adult moth of Parapoynx polydectalis has been reared from an aquatic assessment caterpillar intercepted on 27 August 2012 on Cabomba (an aquatic plant) from Singapore. It has previously been recorded in the UK in 1978 and 1979, (a total of 4 specimens, over 2 years) at aquatic nurseries in Middlesex (as Oligostigma polydectalis). There are a further two records of incidental single specimens from 1988, one a dead specimen on the windowsill of a tropical aquatics shop in Devon, and the other inside a tropical fish aquarium in Cambridgeshire. There have been several interceptions of caterpillars from this genus, several consisting of more than one larva, in the past two years, though few have been successfully reared for species identification. All consignments originated in Indonesia or Singapore and consist of plants for planting, potentially allowing the pest to complete its development. Pest Parapoynx polydectalis is native to Australia and South-East Asia. distribution Hosts Parapoynx sp. are part of the sub-family Acentropinae (formerly Nymphulinae), a group of moths whose larvae are almost all aquatic. Caterpillars of Parapoynx spp. have been associated with 25 plant species in 17 families in Florida including Ludwigia spp., Polygonum spp. and Nymphaea odorata. Pest status Caterpillars of this species feed on their host plants underwater.
