Changes in vegetation structure can alter the physical habitat structure, thermal environment, and food available to arthropods, which play an important role in the structure and functioning of Arctic ecosystems. Not only do they provide key ecosystem services such as pollination and nutrient cycling, they are an essential food source for migratory birds. In this study I examined the relationships between the abundance, diversity, and community composition of arthropods and the height and cover of several shrub species across a tundra-shrub gradient in northwestern Alaska. To characterize nestling diet of common passerines that occupy this gradient, I used next-generation sequencing of fecal matter. Willow cover was strongly and consistently associated with abundance and biomass of arthropods and significant shifts in arthropod community composition and diversity. -

Report on the Badlands/Parkland Lepidoptera Survey 2017 by the Alberta Lepidopterists' Guild, Under Research Permit #17-171
Report on the Badlands/Parkland Lepidoptera Survey 2017 by the Alberta Lepidopterists' Guild, under research permit #17-171 Report to Alberta Tourism, Park and Recreation, Parks Division November 2017 by Gregory R. Pohl Gregory Pohl and other members of the Alberta Lepidopterists' Guild were granted a research permit (#17-171) for moth and butterfly (Lepidoptera) observation and collection in the Tolman - Rumsey area of central Alberta in the summer of 2017. This is our report of the species observed and collected in the area. Study Sites: The following sites were visited and sampled for Lepidoptera: 1. Rowley townsite (Figure 1). 51.760°N 112.786°W. July 14-16, 2017. Abandoned home sites and field margins; disturbed area along train tracks. Although not a protected area requiring a permit, this was our base of operations and camping area, it was convenient to observe and collect moths and butterflies here. Most of the species encountered here are expected to occur in nearby parks and natural areas. Collecting methods - daytime observation and netting; UV light traps; mercury vapour lights. 2. "North Rumsey": Township Road 589, vicinity of Rumsey Natural Area. 51.965°N 112.625°W. July 15, 2017. Rolling parkland with small sloughs. Although not technically within the Rumsey Natural Area, this site is very near and is comprised of similar habitat. The species seen here are all expected within the natural area. Collecting methods - daytime observation and netting. 3. "West Rumsey": Western edge of Rumsey Natural Area (Figure 2). 51.882°N 112.691°W. July 15, 2017. Rolling parkland and grassland. -

We investigated whether a root-feeding moth found closely associated with oxeye daisy in Europe could be used as a biological control agent for the plant when weedy. We found that the moth could develop on 11 out of 74 plant species that we tested in laboratory conditions when it was given no choice of plants. When the Citation: Stutz, S.; De Clerck-Floate, moths were given a choice of food plants outdoors, we found its larvae only on the ornamentals R.; Hinz, H.L.; McClay, A.; Shasta daisy and creeping daisy.

Arthropod Community Structure in Regenerating Douglas-Fir and Red Alder Forests: Influences of Geography, Tree Diversity and Density
AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Brett L. Schaerer for the degree of Master of Science in Entomology presentedon March 17, 2000. Title: Arthropod Community Structure in Regenerating Douglas-fir and Red Alder Forests: Influences of Geography, Tree Diversity and Density Abstract approved: Redacted for privacy Timothy D. Schowalter The structuring of canopy arthropod communities was reviewed and investigated in relation to tree species diversity and its component factors, interspersion of different species and density of each tree species. Fifteen treatments of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and red alder (Alnus rubra) (various densities and proportions of each)were randomly assigned to 0.073 ha plots, replicated three-fold at each of two locations in Western Oregon: the Cascade Head Experimental Forest and the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest. The six treatments used in this studywere two densities of Douglas-fir and red alder monoculture (1000 trees/ha and 500 trees/ha), and mixtures of Douglas-fir and red alder (500 trees/ha of each) planted simultaneouslyor red alder planted 6 years after the Douglas-fir. Trees were initially planted in 1985-1986. The arthropod communities were sampled in the summer of 1998 by bagging and pruning branches from the mid-canopy of both tree species. Multivariate analyses distinguished the arthropod communities foundon each tree species and geographical location, but not among the different diversity and density treatments. Many arthropod taxa and functional groups residingon a single tree species had significantly different abundances between locations. Themost commonly encountered taxon, Adelges cooleyi Gillette (Homoptera: Adelgidae),was most abundant on Douglas-firs in the 500 trees/ha monoculture and the mixture with younger red alder, and least abundant in the mixture with both species planted simultaneously (the1000 trees/ha Douglas-fir monoculture was intermediate). -

Tortricoidea: Lepidoptera) from Northwestern India -- Tribe Eucosmini (Olethreutinae)
PAPER ZOOS' PRINT JOURNAL 20(2): 1751-1765 TAXONOMIC STUDIES ON THE FAMILY TORTRICIDAE (TORTRICOIDEA: LEPIDOPTERA) FROM NORTHWESTERN INDIA -- TRIBE EUCOSMINI (OLETHREUTINAE) H.S. Rose and H.S. Pooni Department of Zoology, Punjabi University, Patiala, Punjab 147002, India E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Sixteen species belonging to eleven genera viz., Rhopobota Lederer, Acroclita Lederer, Strepsicrates Meyrick, Gibberifera Obraztsov, Loboschiza Diakonoff, Crocidosema Zeller, Epinotia Hübner, Helictophanes Meyrick, Acanthoclita Diakonoff, Ancylis Hübner and Eucosma Hübner belonging to the tribe Eusosmini (Olethreutinae) of the family Tortricidae have been collected from northwestern India and dealt with taxonomically. Key to the presently examined genera has been prepared on the basis of characters such as the labial palpi, antennae, costal fold, anal fold, wing venation and male and female genitalic characteristics. Further, keys to the species of the genera Epinotia Hübner and Eucosma Hübner represented by more than one species have also been furnished. Eucosma pseudostrigulata is being reported as new to science. Species such as Rhopobota grypodes Meyrick, Epinotia corynetes Diakonoff, Acanthoclita iridorphna Meyrick and Eucosma prominens Meyrick are being reported for the first time from India, whereas, Acroclita corinthia Meyrick, Gibberifera glaciata Meyrick, Epinotia canthonias Meyrick, Helictophanes dryocoma Meyrick, Ancylis lutescens Meyrick, Eucosma stereoma Meyrick and E. melanoneura Meyrick have been collected for the first -

GILLIGAN1 & DONALD J. WRIGHT2 1 Colorado State University, Department of Bioagricultural Sciences and Pest Management, Fort Collins, CO 80523 USA. E-mail: [email protected] 2 3349 Morrison Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45220 USA. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A revised world catalogue of Eucopina, Eucosma, Pelochrista, and Phaneta is provided. Assignment to genus is based on generic redescriptions by Gilligan et al. (2013). A total of 709 names (including subspecies and synonyms) are listed, including 251 new combinations and 52 revised combinations. Key words: Olethreutinae, Lepidoptera, Tortricidae, Eucosmini Introduction The olethreutine lineage containing Eucosma, Pelochrista, and Phaneta is one of the largest in Tortricidae, with more than 500 described taxa. Its taxonomic history is a classic example of the confusion that results from a lack of clarity regarding generic concepts (Gilligan & Wright 2013, Gilligan et al. 2013). Here we present, in the form of a revised catalogue, the taxonomic implications of a phylogenetic analysis of the group by Gilligan et al. (2013). That study produced revised definitions of Eucosma and Pelochrista based on female genital morphology, concluded that nearly all North American Phaneta belong in the redefined Eucosma, and described Eucopina as a new genus of Pinaceae-feeding species that previously had been placed in Eucosma.
