Prosta 290 D/2, 25-385 Kielce, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Simple Summary: Euryommatus mariae is a legendary weevil species in Europe, first described in the 19th century and not collected through the 20th century. Though rediscovered in the 21st century at few localities in Poland, Austria, and Germany, it remains one of the rarest of European weevils, and its biology is unknown. We present the first descriptions of the larva and pupa of E. mariae, and confirm its saproxylic lifestyle. The differences and similarities between immatures of E. mariae and the genera Coryssomerus, Cylindrocopturus and Eulechriopus are discussed, and a list of larval characters common to all Conoderitae is given. The characters of adult postabdomen are described and illustrated for the first time for diagnostic purposes. Our study confirmed the unusual structure of the male endophallus, equipped with an extremely long ejaculatory duct enclosed in a peculiar fibrous conduit, not seen in other weevils. We hypothesize that the extraordinarily long Citation: Gosik, R.; Wanat, M.; Bidas, and spiral spermathecal duct is the female’s evolutionary response to the male’s extremely long M.

In 1998, the Canada thistle biocontrol stem-mining weevil Hadroplontus litura was introduced into a limited area in Minnesota with a resulting decline in Canada thistle populations. Although showing a preference for Canada thistle, initial host range testing of H. litura revealed that it attacked other native thistles. Before continuing biocontrol efforts with additional H. litura releases in Minnesota, we wanted to clarify whether H. litura would attack thistles native to Minnesota. The two objectives of our research were: 1.) determine whether H. litura could feed, oviposit and complete development on native thistles, and 2.) determine the phenology of native thistles in relation to Canada thistle. In no-choice tests, female H. litura accepted all native thistle species for oviposition and was able to complete development to the adult stage on swamp, field, tall, Flodman’s and wavy-leaved thistle. In Hill’s and the federally threatened Pitcher’s thistle, no adults were found in development tests.

  • Temporal Lags and Overlap in the Diversification of Weevils and Flowering Plants
    Temporal lags and overlap in the diversification of weevils and flowering plants Duane D. McKennaa,1, Andrea S. Sequeirab, Adriana E. Marvaldic, and Brian D. Farrella aDepartment of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138; bDepartment of Biological Sciences, Wellesley College, Wellesley, MA 02481; and cInstituto Argentino de Investigaciones de Zonas Aridas, Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Te´cnicas, C.C. 507, 5500 Mendoza, Argentina Edited by May R. Berenbaum, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL, and approved March 3, 2009 (received for review October 22, 2008) The extraordinary diversity of herbivorous beetles is usually at- tributed to coevolution with angiosperms. However, the degree and nature of contemporaneity in beetle and angiosperm diversi- fication remain unclear. Here we present a large-scale molecular phylogeny for weevils (herbivorous beetles in the superfamily Curculionoidea), one of the most diverse lineages of insects, based on Ϸ8 kilobases of DNA sequence data from a worldwide sample including all families and subfamilies. Estimated divergence times derived from the combined molecular and fossil data indicate diversification into most families occurred on gymnosperms in the Jurassic, beginning Ϸ166 Ma. Subsequent colonization of early crown-group angiosperms occurred during the Early Cretaceous, but this alone evidently did not lead to an immediate and ma- jor diversification event in weevils. Comparative trends in weevil diversification and angiosperm dominance reveal that massive EVOLUTION diversification began in the mid-Cretaceous (ca. 112.0 to 93.5 Ma), when angiosperms first rose to widespread floristic dominance. These and other evidence suggest a deep and complex history of coevolution between weevils and angiosperms, including codiver- sification, resource tracking, and sequential evolution.

Ruifrok, Christian Smit Conservation Ecology Group, Groningen Institute for Evolutionary Life Sciences, P.O.Box 11103, 9700AA Groningen, The Netherlands A R T I C L E I N F O A B S T R A C T Article history: Natural grazing refuges can contribute significantly to plant and animal diversity in grazed ecosystems, Received 28 August 2015 particularly when herbivore densities are high. When natural grazing refuges are absent, artificial refuges Received in revised form 21 January 2016 could be created, for example by means of fencing. It remains, however, unclear how grazing refuges Accepted 29 January 2016 affect the diversity of various taxa in their surroundings. Edge effects can be expected to be positive for Available online 2 March 2016 biodiversity because at these edges minimal disturbance is combined with beneficial light conditions for plant diversity. This can be expected to decrease with increasing distance and to differ between matrix Keywords: vegetation types. Exclosures Here, we investigated the impact of herbivore exclusion through fencing on communities of plants and Null-model Beta-diversity various invertebrate taxa in a rewilding area on very productive soil, the Oostvaardersplassen, The Turnover Netherlands. The area is grazed year round by Heck cattle, konik horses and red deer, at a combined À1 Diversity density of approximately 2.4 animal ha .

  • Curculionidae (Except Scolytinae and Platypodinae) in Latvian Fauna, Taxonomical Structure, Biogeography and Forecasted Species
    Acta Biol. Univ. Daugavp. 12 (4) 2012 ISSN 1407 - 8953 CURCULIONIDAE (EXCEPT SCOLYTINAE AND PLATYPODINAE) IN LATVIAN FAUNA, TAXONOMICAL STRUCTURE, BIOGEOGRAPHY AND FORECASTED SPECIES Maksims Balalaikins Balalaikins M. 2012. Curculionidae (except Scolytinae and Platypodinae) in Latvian fauna, taxonomical structure, biogeography and forecasted species. Acta Biol. Univ. Daugavp., 12 (4): 67 – 83. This paper presents analysis of taxonomical structure of Latvian Curculionidae (except Scolytinae and Platypodinae) and comparison with the neighboring countries (Lithuania and Estonia) weevil’s fauna. Range of chorotypes and biogeography analysis of Latvian Curculionidae (except Scolytinae and Platypodinae) is presented in current paper. List of forecasted weevils species of Latvian fauna is compilled. Key words: Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Latvia, fauna, taxonomical structure, chorotypes, forecasted species.
