  • Evidence for Paternal Leakage in Hybrid Periodical Cicadas (Hemiptera: Magicicada Spp.) Kathryn M
    Evidence for Paternal Leakage in Hybrid Periodical Cicadas (Hemiptera: Magicicada spp.) Kathryn M. Fontaine¤, John R. Cooley*, Chris Simon Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut, Storrs, Connecticut, United States of America Mitochondrial inheritance is generally assumed to be maternal. However, there is increasing evidence of exceptions to this rule, especially in hybrid crosses. In these cases, mitochondria are also inherited paternally, so ‘‘paternal leakage’’ of mitochondria occurs. It is important to understand these exceptions better, since they potentially complicate or invalidate studies that make use of mitochondrial markers. We surveyed F1 offspring of experimental hybrid crosses of the 17-year periodical cicadas Magicicada septendecim, M. septendecula, and M. cassini for the presence of paternal mitochondrial markers at various times during development (1-day eggs; 3-, 6-, 9-week eggs; 16-month old 1st and 2nd instar nymphs). We found evidence of paternal leakage in both reciprocal hybrid crosses in all of these samples. The relative difficulty of detecting paternal mtDNA in the youngest eggs and ease of detecting leakage in older eggs and in nymphs suggests that paternal mitochondria proliferate as the eggs develop. Our data support recent theoretical predictions that paternal leakage may be more common than previously estimated.

  • Behavior and Evolution of Periodical Cicadas (Magicicada Spp.)
    Behavior and evolution of periodical cicadas (Magicicada spp.) by David Crane Marshall A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Biology) The University of Michigan 2000 Copyright David C. Marshall Doctoral Committee: Professor Richard D. Alexander, Chair Professor George Estabrook Professor Gerald Smith Professor Priscilla Tucker ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many individuals and organizations contributed generously to this research. The Frank Ammermann Endowment of the Insect Division of the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology provided essential financial assistance throughout the study. The Museum of Zoology supported portions of this research with grants from the Hinsdale- Walker and Tinkle Memorial Endowments. Early financial assistance was provided by the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies. Japan Television Workshop, Ltd., paid field expenses in 1998. It is difficult to predict where conditions appropriate for field studies of Magicicada behavior will exist in any given year, and many state and local government organizations were extremely tolerant of our last-minute arrival each Spring and willing to permit us access to government lands. Several private landholders allow prolonged access to their property without thought of compensation; we are strongly indebted to them for this assistance. I hope that future researchers will pay the utmost respect to the property rights of these individuals and organizations should future work at these locations be desired: Alum Springs Young Life Camp, Rockbridge Co., VA Washington and Lee University, Rockbridge Co., VA Horsepen Lake State Wildlife Management Area, Buckingham Co., VA Siloam Springs State Park, Brown and Adams Counties, IL Harold E.

  • Differential Susceptibility of Tree Species to Oviposition by Periodical Cicadas
    Ecological Entomology (2009), 34, 277–286 DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-2311.2008.01071.x Differential susceptibility of tree species to oviposition by periodical cicadas KEITH CLAY , ANGELA L. SHELTON and CHUCK WINKLE * Department of Biology, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, U.S.A. Abstract . 1. Periodical cicadas occur widely in deciduous forests of eastern North America and represent the largest insect emergences in the world. Their effects on forest community dynamics, via oviposition damage and root feeding, are potentially great but not well understood. If tree species vary in their susceptibility to cicada oviposition and root colonization, then periodical cicadas may affect ecological interactions among tree species and forest composition. 2. We measured oviposition damage on 63 tree species at 52 sites in southern Indiana, U.S.A. for two broods of periodical cicadas. We compared oviposition damage among different sites, habitats, and tree species. We also measured cicada emergence rates in mature and successional forest habitats and from beneath different tree species. 3. Certain tree species received significantly more oviposition damage than others, and the most and least damaged species were consistent between the two broods. For some species, oviposition damage varied between mature and successional sites. Despite the differences in oviposition rates among species, there was no difference in emergence rates from beneath different tree species, suggesting that initial differences in cicada density among tree species are not maintained through the nymphal life cycle. 4. Cicadas oviposited more at successional sites, but emerged more in mature forest stands, suggesting that successive generations of cicadas represent a shifting mosaic between forests of different ages.
