  • View of the Study Organisms Galerucella Sagittariae and Larvae on Potentilla Palustris (L.) Scop, One of the Main Its Host Plant Potentilla Palustris
    Verschut and Hambäck BMC Ecol (2018) 18:33 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12898-018-0187-7 BMC Ecology RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access A random survival forest illustrates the importance of natural enemies compared to host plant quality on leaf beetle survival rates Thomas A. Verschut* and Peter A. Hambäck Abstract Background: Wetlands are habitats where variation in soil moisture content and associated environmental condi- tions can strongly afect the survival of herbivorous insects by changing host plant quality and natural enemy densi- ties. In this study, we combined natural enemy exclusion experiments with random survival forest analyses to study the importance of local variation in host plant quality and predation by natural enemies on the egg and larval survival of the leaf beetle Galerucella sagittariae along a soil moisture gradient. Results: Our results showed that the exclusion of natural enemies substantially increased the survival probability of G. sagittariae eggs and larvae. Interestingly, the egg survival probability decreased with soil moisture content, while the larval survival probability instead increased with soil moisture content. For both the egg and larval survival, we found that host plant height, the number of eggs or larvae, and vegetation height explained more of the variation than the soil moisture gradient by itself. Moreover, host plant quality related variables, such as leaf nitrogen, carbon and phosphorus content did not infuence the survival of G. sagittariae eggs and larvae. Conclusion: Our results suggest that the soil moisture content is not an overarching factor that determines the interplay between factors related to host plant quality and factors relating to natural enemies on the survival of G.

Nevertheless, nature can still be found within these areas. Urban ecosystems can offer ecological niches, sometimes only found in cities. This biodiversity in the form of genetic diversity, species diversity and habitat diversity provided the structure of this thesis. First, we studied the effects of urbanisation on genetic diversity. We analysed the population structure of the wall lizard with highly variable genetic markers.

  • Additions, Deletions and Corrections to the Staphylinidae in the Irish Coleoptera Annotated List, with a Revised Check-List of Irish Species
    Bulletin of the Irish Biogeographical Society Number 41 (2017) ADDITIONS, DELETIONS AND CORRECTIONS TO THE STAPHYLINIDAE IN THE IRISH COLEOPTERA ANNOTATED LIST, WITH A REVISED CHECK-LIST OF IRISH SPECIES Jervis A. Good1 and Roy Anderson2 1Glinny, Riverstick, Co. Cork, Republic of Ireland. e-mail: <[email protected]> 21 Belvoirview Park, Belfast BT8 7BL, Northern Ireland. e-mail: <[email protected]> Abstract Since the 1997 Irish Coleoptera – a revised and annotated list, 59 species of Staphylinidae have been added to the Irish list, 11 species confirmed, a number have been deleted or require to be deleted, and the status of some species and names require correction. Notes are provided on the deletion, correction or status of 63 species, and a revised check-list of 710 species is provided with a generic index. Species listed, or not listed, as Irish in the Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera (2nd edition), in comparison with this list, are discussed. The Irish status of Gabrius sexualis Smetana, 1954 is questioned, although it is retained on the list awaiting further investgation. Key words: Staphylinidae, check-list, Irish Coleoptera, Gabrius sexualis. Introduction The Staphylinidae (rove-beetles) comprise the largest family of beetles in Ireland (with 621 species originally recorded by Anderson, Nash and O’Connor (1997)) and in the world (with 55,440 species cited by Grebennikov and Newton (2009)). Since the publication in 1997 of Irish Coleoptera - a revised and annotated list by Anderson, Nash and O’Connor, there have been a large number of additions (59 species), confirmation of the presence of several species based on doubtful old records, a number of deletions and corrections, and significant nomenclatural and taxonomic changes to the list of Irish Staphylinidae.

Further intensified investigations also considering specific catching methods are recommended to generate a well-founded data set of riverine staphylindae from Vjosa River for detailed evaluation. The importance of staphylindae as indicators in flood- plain habitats is discussed. DEGASPERI G., 2018: Einblicke in die Kurzflügelkäferfauna der Vjosa Auen, Alba- nien (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae).

  • Entomologi Och Naturalhistoria 2009
    Entomologi och naturalhistoria 2009 Följande lista över entomologiska böcker och tryck omfattar en rad olika ämnesområden och inkluderar många olika insektsgrupper. Vissa insektsgrupper har fått egna rubriker. Dessa grupper kan även finnas behandlade under andra avdelningar, varför det kan löna sig att leta också under dessa. I den här katalogen har jag särskilt velat lyfta fram några klassiska insektsverk som haft stor betydelse för entomologins utveckling i dess olika former. Jag begagnar även tillfället att slå ett slag för den i boksamlarkretsar välkände entomologen och Linné-kännaren Felix Bryk, som trots en verksamhet som rörde sig över vida fält alltid behöll bibliophilens känsla för det estetiskt tilltalande, något som löper som en röd tråd genom hans produktion. Han presenteras i en särskilt avdelning och med en kort biografi. Trycken är kompletta och i gott antikvariskt skick, skurna och häftade i 8:o, samt bär pappomslag om ej annat anges.

This account presents comprehensive information on the biology of Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steud. (P. communis Trin.; common reed) that is relevant to understanding its ecological char- acteristics and behaviour. The main topics are presented within the standard framework of the Biologi- cal Flora of the British Isles: distribution, habitat, communities, responses to biotic factors and to the abiotic environment, plant structure and physiology, phenology, floral and seed characters, herbivores and diseases, as well as history including invasive spread in other regions, and conservation. 2. Phragmites australis is a cosmopolitan species native to the British flora and widespread in lowland habitats throughout, from the Shetland archipelago to southern England.
