E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT A new species is proposed for the leuctrid genus Moselia Ricker based primarily on scanning electron micrographs of male paraprocts. Moselia zonata, sp. n. is recognized from southern Oregon, Nevada and northern California. A diagnosis is provided to assist in identification of adult M. infuscata (Claassen) and M. zonata sp. n. The distribution of both species is summarized. Keywords: Plecoptera, Leuctridae, Moselia, new species INTRODUCTION California”. At that time specimens were likely Claassen (1923) proposed Leuctra infuscata available for Oregon, though no records were Claassen based on one male and two female published until Kerst & Anderson (1974, 1975) specimens from Seattle, Washington, and four provided the Oak Creek, Corvallis, Benton Co., additional female specimens from two California Oregon records. The first record from Nevada was sites. He provided figures of the dorsal aspect of the reported by Sheldon (1979). DeWalt et al.

  • In Baltic Amber 85
    Overview and descriptions of fossil stoneflies (Plecoptera) in Baltic amber 85 Entomologie heute 22 (2010): 85-97 Overview and Descriptions of Fossil Stoneflies (Plecoptera) in Baltic Amber Übersicht und Beschreibungen von fossilen Steinfliegen (Plecoptera) im Baltischen Bernstein CELESTINE CARUSO & WILFRIED WICHARD Summary: Three new fossil species of stoneflies (Plecoptera: Nemouridae and Leuctridae) from Eocene Baltic amber are being described: Zealeuctra cornuta n. sp., Lednia zilli n. sp., and Podmosta attenuata n. sp.. Extant species of these three genera are found in Eastern Asia and in the Nearctic region. It is very probably that the genera must have been widely spread across the northern hemisphere in the Cretaceous period, before Europe was an archipelago in Eocene. The current state of knowledge about the seventeen Plecoptera species of Baltic amber is shortly presented. Due to discovered homonymies, the following nomenclatural corrections are proposed: Leuctra fusca Pictet, 1856 in Leuctra electrofusca Caruso & Wichard, 2010 and Nemoura affinis Berendt, 1856 in Nemoura electroaffinis Caruso & Wichard, 2010. Keywords: Fossil insects, fossil Plecoptera, Eocene, paleobiogeography Zusammenfassung: In dieser Arbeit werden drei neue fossile Steinfliegen-Arten (Plecoptera: Nemouridae und Leuctridae) des Baltischen Bernsteins beschrieben: Zealeuctra cornuta n. sp., Lednia zilli n. sp., Podmosta attenuata n. sp.. Rezente Arten der drei Gattungen sind in Ostasien und in der nearktischen Region nachgewiesen. Sehr wahrscheinlich breiteten sich die Gattungen in der Krei- dezeit über die nördliche Hemisphäre aus, noch bevor Europa im Eozän ein Archipel war. Der gegenwärtige Kenntnisstand über die siebzehn Plecoptera Arten des Baltischen Bernsteins wird kurz dargelegt. Wegen bestehender Homonymien werden folgende nomenklatorische Korrekturen vorgenommen: Leuctra fusca Pictet, 1856 in Leuctra electrofusca Caruso & Wichard, 2010 und Nemoura affinis Berendt, 1856 in Nemoura electroaffinis Caruso & Wichard, 2010.

HARRISON May 2018 Copyright © 2018 by Audrey B. Harrison All rights reserved. ABSTRACT The effects of hydrological connectivity between the Mississippi River main channel and adjacent secondary channel and floodplain habitats on macroinvertebrate community structure, water chemistry, and sediment makeup and chemistry are analyzed. In river-floodplain systems, connectivity between the main channel and the surrounding floodplain is critical in maintaining ecosystem processes. Floodplains comprise a variety of aquatic habitat types, including frequently connected secondary channels and oxbows, as well as rarely connected backwater lakes and pools. Herein, the effects of connectivity on riverine and floodplain biota, as well as the impacts of connectivity on the physiochemical makeup of both the water and sediments in secondary channels are examined.

SGMA seeks to achieve sustainability, which is defined as the absence of several undesirable results, including “depletions of interconnected surface water that have significant and unreasonable adverse impacts on beneficial users of surface water” (Water Code §10721). The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a science-based, nonprofit organization with a mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Like humans, plants and animals often rely on groundwater for survival, which is why TNC helped develop, and is now helping to implement, SGMA. Earlier this year, we launched the Groundwater Resource Hub, which is an online resource intended to help make it easier and cheaper to address environmental requirements under SGMA. As a first step in addressing when depletions might have an adverse impact, The Nature Conservancy recommends identifying the beneficial users of surface water, which include environmental users. This is a critical step, as it is impossible to define “significant and unreasonable adverse impacts” without knowing what is being impacted. To make this easy, we are providing this letter and the accompanying documents as the best available science on the freshwater species within the boundary of your groundwater sustainability agency (GSA).

The rather close proximity of Sagehen Creek to the actual meeting site (less than 100 m away) surely encouraged collecting of stoneflies. Sagehen Creek Field Station is located on the eastern slope of the northern Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, approximately 32 km north of Lake Tahoe. The Field Station occupies 183 ha. Sagehen Creek itself extends about 13 km from the headwater on Carpenter Ridge, east of the Sierra Crest to Stampede Reservoir on the Little Truckee River. The stream is fed by springs, fens, and other wetlands. The Sagehen Basin spans a significant precipitation gradient resulting in variation of stream flow.

We present a visually based method for the taxonomic identification of benthic invertebrates that automates image capture, image processing, and specimen classification. The BugID system automatically positions and images specimens with minimal user input. Images are then processed with interest operators (machine-learning algorithms for locating informative visual regions) to identify informative pattern features, and this information is used to train a classifier algorithm. Naı¨ve Bayes modeling of stacked decision trees is used to determine whether a specimen is an unknown distractor (taxon not in the training data set) or one of the species in the training set. When tested on images from 9 larval stonefly taxa, BugID correctly identified 94.5% of images, even though small or damaged specimens were included in testing.

Lechleitner2 ABSTRACT.—Mount Rainier National Park, with an area of 95,356 ha, is approximately one-third as large as the state of Rhode Island. The lowest point is 490 m in elevation in the southeastern corner near where the Ohanapecosh River crosses the southern boundary. Columbia Crest is the highest point at 4392 m. The entire park is a rugged landscape marked by the major topographical feature, Mount Rainier, comprising over 25,899 ha, almost one-third of the park. The park lies entirely west of the crest line of the Cascade Range. Most streams in the park originate on Mount Rainier; however, several large rivers meander through the park near its boundaries.

Specifically, we tested the hypotheses that (1) emergent aquatic insects were a food Arthropod prey Forest birds source for insectivorous birds in headwater riparian areas, and (2) the abundances of aquatic and terres- Headwater streams trial arthropod prey did not differ between streamside and upland areas during the bird breeding season.

These reports are of interest and applicability to a broad audience in the National Park Service and others in natural resource management, including scientists, conservation and environmental constituencies, and the public. The Natural Resource Data Series is intended for the timely release of basic data sets and data summaries. Care has been taken to assure accuracy of raw data values, but a thorough analysis and interpretation of the data has not been completed. Consequently, the initial analyses of data in this report are provisional and subject to change. All manuscripts in the series receive the appropriate level of peer review to ensure that the information is scientifically credible, technically accurate, appropriately written for the intended audience, and designed and published in a professional manner.
