Arctic Biodiversity of Stream Macroinvertebrates Declines in Response to Latitudinal Change in the Abiotic Template
Arctic biodiversity of stream macroinvertebrates declines in response to latitudinal change in the abiotic template Joseph M. Culp1,2,5, Jennifer Lento2,6, R.

Further, we examined whether latitudinal differences in taxonomic composition resulted from species replacement with organisms better adapted to northerly conditions or from the loss of taxa unable to tolerate the harsh envi- ronments of higher latitudes. We used the bioclimatic envelope concept to provide a ﬁrst approximation forecast of how climate warming may modify a and b diversity of Arctic rivers and to identify potential changes in envi- ronmental variables that will drive future assemblage structure. Benthic macroinvertebrates, environmental sup- porting variables, and geospatial catchment data were collected to assess drivers of ecological pattern. We compared a diversity (i.e., taxonomic richness) across latitudes and partitioned b diversity into components of nestedness and species turnover to assess their relative contributions to compositional differences.

Lazare Botosaneanu ‘Naturalist’ 61 Doi: 10.3897/Subtbiol.10.4760
Subterranean Biology 10: 61-73, 2012 (2013) Lazare Botosaneanu ‘Naturalist’ 61 doi: 10.3897/subtbiol.10.4760 Lazare Botosaneanu ‘Naturalist’ 1927 – 2012 demic training shortly after the Second World War at the Faculty of Biology of the University of Bucharest, the same city where he was born and raised. At a young age he had already showed interest in Zoology. He wrote his first publication –about a new caddisfly species– at the age of 20. As Botosaneanu himself wanted to remark, the prominent Romanian zoologist and man of culture Constantin Motaş had great influence on him. A small portrait of Motaş was one of the few objects adorning his ascetic office in the Amsterdam Museum. Later on, the geneticist and evolutionary biologist Theodosius Dobzhansky and the evolutionary biologist Ernst Mayr greatly influenced his thinking. In 1956, he was appoint- ed as a senior researcher at the Institute of Speleology belonging to the Rumanian Academy of Sciences. Lazare Botosaneanu began his career as an entomologist, and in particular he studied Trichoptera. Until the end of his life he would remain studying this group of insects and most of his publications are dedicated to the Trichoptera and their environment. His colleague and friend Prof. Mar- cos Gonzalez, of University of Santiago de Compostella (Spain) recently described his contribution to Entomolo- gy in an obituary published in the Trichoptera newsletter2 Lazare Botosaneanu’s first contribution to the study of Subterranean Biology took place in 1954, when he co-authored with the Romanian carcinologist Adriana Damian-Georgescu a paper on animals discovered in the drinking water conduits of the city of Bucharest.

CHAPTER 4: EPHEMEROPTERA (Mayflies)
Guide to Aquatic Invertebrate Families of Mongolia | 2009 CHAPTER 4 EPHEMEROPTERA (Mayflies) EPHEMEROPTERA Draft June 17, 2009 Chapter 4 | EPHEMEROPTERA 45 Guide to Aquatic Invertebrate Families of Mongolia | 2009 ORDER EPHEMEROPTERA Mayflies 4 Mayfly larvae are found in a variety of locations including lakes, wetlands, streams, and rivers, but they are most common and diverse in lotic habitats. They are common and abundant in stream riffles and pools, at lake margins and in some cases lake bottoms. All mayfly larvae are aquatic with terrestrial adults. In most mayfly species the adult only lives for 1-2 days. Consequently, the majority of a mayfly’s life is spent in the water as a larva. The adult lifespan is so short there is no need for the insect to feed and therefore the adult does not possess functional mouthparts. Mayflies are often an indicator of good water quality because most mayflies are relatively intolerant of pollution. Mayflies are also an important food source for fish. Ephemeroptera Morphology Most mayflies have three caudal filaments (tails) (Figure 4.1) although in some taxa the terminal filament (middle tail) is greatly reduced and there appear to be only two caudal filaments (only one genus actually lacks the terminal filament). Mayflies have gills on the dorsal surface of the abdomen (Figure 4.1), but the number and shape of these gills vary widely between taxa. All mayflies possess only one tarsal claw at the end of each leg (Figure 4.1). Characters such as gill shape, gill position, and tarsal claw shape are used to separate different mayfly families.

The Study of the Zoobenthos of the Tsraudon River Basin (The Terek River Basin)
E3S Web of Conferences 169, 03006 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202016903006 APEEM 2020 The study of the zoobenthos of the Tsraudon river basin (the Terek river basin) Ia E. Dzhioeva*, Susanna K. Cherchesova , Oleg A. Navatorov, and Sofia F. Lamarton North Ossetian state University named after K.L. Khetagurov, Vladikavkaz, Russia Abstract. The paper presents data on the species composition and distribution of zoobenthos in the Tsraudon river basin, obtained during the 2017-2019 research. In total, 4 classes of invertebrates (Gastropoda, Crustacea, Hydracarina, Insecta) are found in the benthic structure. The class Insecta has the greatest species diversity. All types of insects in our collections are represented by lithophilic, oligosaprobic fauna. Significant differences in the composition of the fauna of the Tsraudon river creeks and tributary streams have been identified. 7 families of the order Trichoptera are registered in streams, and 4 families in the river. It is established that the streamlets of the family Hydroptilidae do not occur in streams, the distribution boundary of the streamlets of Hydropsyche angustipennis (Hydropsychidae) is concentrated in the mountain-forest zone. The hydrological features of the studied watercourses are also revealed. 1 Introduction The biocenoses of flowing reservoirs of the North Caucasus, and especially small rivers, remain insufficiently explored today; particularly, there is no information about the systematic composition, biology and ecology of amphibiotic insects (mayflies, stoneflies, caddisflies and dipterous) of the studied basin. Amphibiotic insects are an essential link in the food chain of our reservoirs and at the same time can be attributed to reliable indicators of water quality.

They are distributed unevenly; with the greatest number and density occurring in the Oriental Biogeographic Region and the smallest in the East Palearctic. Ecosystem services provided by Trichoptera are also very diverse and include their essential roles in food webs, in biological monitoring of water quality, as food for fish and other predators (many of which are of human concern), and as engineers that stabilize gravel bed sediment. They are especially important in capturing and using a wide variety of nutrients in many forms, transforming them for use by other organisms in freshwaters and surrounding riparian areas.

Vol. 109, No. 3, May & June, 1998 213 SCIENTIFIC NOTE: NEW DISTRIBUTIONS FOR RAPTOHEPTAGENIA CRUENTATA AND AMETROPUS NEAVEI (EPHEMEROPTERA: HEPTAGENIIDAE, AMETROPODIDAE)! 2 4 R.D. Waltz, G. F. Edmunds, Jr?, Gary Lester Large river habitats possess some of the least known mayfly species in North America (McCafferty et al. 1990). Difficulty in sampling such habitats has undoubtedly contributed to the report of widely disjunct distributions of large river species. Decline in the quality of large river habitat has also possibly contributed to localized extirpations and further increased the apparent disjunction of reported distributions (see Whiting and Lehmkuhl 1987, McCafferty et al. 1990). Herein, two large river species, which are rarely collected, are newly reported from Montana. One of these two species is also newly reported from Minnesota. Raptoheptagenia cruentata (Walsh) has been reported previously from nine states or prov- inces in North America based on available literature (see Whiting and Lehmkuhl 1987, Edmunds and Waltz 1995). Reports of larval collections cited in the preceding papers include Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Montana, Ohio, and Saskatchewan. McCafferty (1988) designated the neotype of R. cruentata based on a larva in Indiana, which is housed in the Purdue Entomological Re- search Collection (PERC), West Lafayette, IN. Adult collections have been reported from Illi- nois, Indiana, Nebraska, Tennessee, and Manitoba. Two R. cruentata larvae taken in the Powder River, by G. Romero, with the following col- lection data: MT: Custer Co., Powder R., 11 -XI- 1976(1 larva), and same locale, 11 -VIII -1976 (2 larvae) were the source of the previously unpublished Montana record reported by Edmunds and Waltz (1995).

New Jersey Amber Mayflies: the First North American Mesozoic Members of the Order (Insecta; Ephemeroptera)
New Jersey amber mayflies: the first North American Mesozoic members of the order (Insecta; Ephemeroptera) Nina D. Sinitshenkova Paleontological Institute ofthe Russian Academy ofSciences, Profioyuznaya Street 123, Moscow 117647, Russia Abstract The following new genera and species of mayflies are described from Upper Cretaceous (Turonian) amber from Sayreville, New Jersey, U.S.A: Cretomitarcys lu=ii (imago male), (Polymitarcyidae: Cretomitarcyinae, new subfamily), Borephemera goldmani (imago male, Australiphemeridae), Amerogenia macrops (imago female) (Heptageniidae) and Palaeometropus cassus (subadult male) (Ametropodidae). Previously no mayflies were described from the Mesozoic of North America. Ametropodidae and Heptageniidae are newly recorded for the Mesozoic, and Australiphemeridae for the Upper Cretaceous. The mayflies in this amber probably inhabited a medium-sized or large river. Zoogeography of Upper Cretaceous mayflies is briefly discussed; with particular emphasis on significant faunistic differences between the temperate and subtropical areas. Introduction often abundant in drift of modern rivers, lotic nymphs seem to be very rare in the fossil record Through the kindness of Dr. D.

Arthropods, as the most species-rich and morphologically disparate animal phylum, have received substantial attention, particularly with regard to questions such as the timing of habitat shifts (e.g. terrestrialisation), genome evolution (e.g. gene family duplication and functional evolution), origins of novel characters and behaviours (e.g. wings and flight, venom, silk), biogeography, rate of diversification (e.g. Cambrian explosion, insect coevolution with angiosperms, evolution of crab body plans), and the evolution of arthropod microbiomes. We present herein a series of rigorously vetted calibration fossils for arthropod evolutionary history, taking into account recently published guidelines for best practice in fossil calibration.

A Revision of the V Leptophlebiidae of the ¥ West Indies (Ephemeroptera)
WILLIAM L. PETE A Revision of the V Leptophlebiidae of the ¥ West Indies (Ephemeroptera) SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY NUMBER 62 SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti- tution, Joseph Henry articulated 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 not strictly professional." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight 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 Z0°l°gy Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. Each publica- tion is distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, institutes, and interested specialists throughout the world. Individual copies may be obtained from the Smith- sonian Institution Press as long as stocks are available.
