  • Spatiotemporal Pattern of Phenology Across Geographic Gradients in Insects
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2017 Spatiotemporal pattern of phenology across geographic gradients in insects Khelifa, Rassim Abstract: Phenology – the timing of recurrent biological events – influences nearly all aspects of ecology and evolution. Phenological shifts have been recorded in a wide range of animals and plants worldwide during the past few decades. Although the phenological responses differ between taxa, they may also vary geographically, especially along gradients such as latitude or elevation. Since changes in phenology have been shown to affect ecology, evolution, human health and the economy, understanding pheno- logical shifts has become a priority. Although phenological shifts have been associated with changes in temperature, there is still little comprehension of the phenology-temperature relationship, particularly the mechanisms influencing its strength and the extent to which it varies geographically. Such ques- tions would ideally be addressed by combining controlled laboratory experiments on thermal response with long-term observational datasets and historical temperature records. Here, I used odonates (drag- onflies and damselflies) and Sepsid scavenger flies to unravel how temperature affects development and phenology at different latitudes and elevations. The main purpose of this thesis is to provide essential knowledge on the factors driving the spatiotemporal phenological dynamics by (1) investigating how phenology changed in time and space across latitude and elevation in northcentral Europe during the past three decades, (2) assessing potential temporal changes in thermal sensitivity of phenology and (3) describing the geographic pattern and usefulness of thermal performance curves in predicting natural responses.

    Adam’s Emerald Dragonfly - Archaeophya adamsi December 2013, Primefact 187, Third edition Fisheries Ecosystems Unit, Port Stephens Fisheries Institute Description The Adam’s Emerald Dragonfly (also called Horned Urfly) is a moderately large, robust Dragonfly. Larvae grow to about 23mm in length and have a large two-lobed frontal plate on the head (see Figure 1), which distinguishes them from any other species found in NSW. The adults have a brown-black body with yellow markings, and a slight green or bluish metallic reflection on some parts. The abdomen length is around 46 mm and wingspan around 75 mm. Habitat and ecology Adam’s Emerald Dragonfly larvae have been Figure 1: Adult Adam’s Emerald Dragonfly (Photo: found in narrow, shaded riffle zones with CSIRO Entomology) and larva (Photo: J.

Total of 24 species belonging to 19 genera and 11 families were recorded of which 22 species are new record for the study area, 20 species for the Punakha Dzongkhag and 1 for Bhutan. The updated list of species for Punakha Dzongkhag is 28 species and for Bhutan is 85 species. Important records are Anisogomphus caudalis a Data Deficient species and a new record for Bhutan, Aristocypha (Rhinocypha) cuneata, another Data Deficient species, Epiophlebia laidlawi a Near Threatened species and Anisopleura bella a recently described species currently recorded only from Bhutan. Keywords: Dragonfly, odonata, new record, Toebirongchhu sub-watershed, Punakha, Bhutan. 1. Introduction Dragonflies belong to order Odonata and are among the most ancient of winged insects [1, 2]. The extant dragonflies are divided into two suborders, the Zygoptera or damselflies and the Anisoptera or true dragonflies, and the erstwhile third suborder Anisozygoptera is either included in Anisoptera or combined with them under the new name Epiprocta in recent times [1].

Higher classifica- tion, phylogeny, and biogeography of Anisoptera are reviewed and keys provided for superfamilies and families. The pattern of anisopteroid neapomorphy supports the superfamily arrangement proposed by F.L. CARLE (1986, Odonatologica 15: 275- -326), whileindicatingpolyphyly for Cordulegasteroidea[sic] ofEC. FRASER (1957, A reclassification of the order Odonata, R. Zool. Soc NSW, Sydney) and both “Neanisoptera”and“Petaluroidea”ofH.-K.PFAU (1991, Adv. Odonalol. 5: 109-141). Paraphyletic groupingsinclude Aeschnidae [sic] of R.J. TILLYARD (1917, The biol- D. DAY1ES ogy of dragonflies,Cambridge Univ. Press), and Cordulegastroideaof A.L. int. Nothomacromia (1981, Soc. odonatol. rapid Comm. 3: 1-60). nom.n.is proposed as areplacement for Pseudomacromia Carle & Wighton, 1990,nec. Pseudomacromia Kirby, 1890. Congruence between phylogenetic and biogeographicpatterns indicates two or more distinct mesozoic utilizations of a trans-pangaeian montane dispersal Incorrect association of with for the 137 route. Neopetalia austropetaliids past years has obscured the gondwanianorigin and subsequent radiation of non-cordulegastrid which least 140 million the frozen Libelluloidea,a process began at years ago on now continent of Antarctica.
