  • Order Hymenoptera, Family Gasteruptiidae
    Arthropod fauna of the UAE, 6: 190–224 (2017) Order Hymenoptera, family Gasteruptiidae Christoph Saure, Christian Schmid-Egger & Cornelis van Achterberg INTRODUCTION The family Gasteruptiidae is a small group of wasps comprising about 500 described species in two subfamilies, Gasteruptiinae (four genera) (Macedo, 2011; Zhao et al., 2012) and Hyptiogastrinae (two genera) (Jennings & Austin, 2002). They are easily recognized from other Hymenoptera Apocrita by the elongated ’neck‘ (propleuron), the swollen hind tibiae and the elongate metasoma attached at a high point on the thorax. Adults are free-living insects feeding on nectar mainly on flowers with easily accessible nectar such are of the families Apiaceae, Asteraceae or Euphorbiaceae, but probably at least some Gasteruption species feed on both nectar and pollen (Jennings & Austin, 2004). Gasteruptiidae are also known by their hovering flight during inspection of bee nests (van Achterberg, 2013). The larvae feed on the larval food of solitary bees, after consuming the egg or larva of the bee (Malyshev, 1964, 1965). They select solitary bees of the families Apidae, Colletidae, Halictidae and Megachilidae nesting in stems or in wood, and less often in clay banks or other vertical soil substrates (Zhao et al., 2012; van Achterberg, 2013); as far as known, bees nesting in flat ground are far less often attacked. In Australia, members of the Hyptiogastrinae attend bee nests in the ground (Houston, 1987). There is only indirect evidence that Gasteruptiinae attack wasp nests, e.g. Crabronidae, Sphecidae and solitary Vespidae (Eumeninae) (Jennings & Austin, 2004; van Achterberg, 2013). The pupa of Gasteruptiidae hibernates until the next spring or summer (He, 2004; Jennings & Austin, 2004).

Journal of Hymenoptera Research 65: 1–21. https://doi.org/10.3897/jhr.65.26645 Abstract Wasps of the genus Gasteruption are predator-inquilines of bees nesting in cavities in wood, stems, galls, and vertical soil surfaces. During studies of hymenopterans associated with reed galls caused by flies of the genus Lipara we recorded three species. We provide the evidence that a rare European species Gasteruption phragmiticola is a specialized predator-inquiline of an equally rare wetland bee Hylaeus pectoralis. Gasteruption nigrescens is a predator-inquiline of bees of the family Megachilidae, using the common bee Hoplitis leucomelana as the main host.

  • British Dragonfly Society Sussex Group Newsletter Winter! 2019
    British Dragonfly Society Sussex Group Newsletter Winter! 2019 No 43 Expect the Unexpected By John Arnott Chichester Natural History Society members have been monitoring dragonflies at RSPB Medmerry since summer 2014, soon after it was flooded in autumn 2013. As many people know, this newly created wetland complex was designed primarily as a coastal flood mitigation system but with many natural habitat features built in. On the western edge is a complex of runoff channels with many bends and interconnected pools, all providing ideal habitat for dragonflies. Six years on and the channel system has become filled with a lush growth of aquatic plants domi- nated by tall emergents such as Branched Bur-reed Sparganium erectum, Reed Sweet-grass Glyceria maxima and Water-plantain Alisma plantago-aquatica together with submerged aquatics, in particu- lar, dense mats of Spiked Water-milfoil Myriophyllum spicatum. The management priority here is for Water Vole Arvicola amphibius so good aquatic plant growth is encouraged. too I’ve always thought that Med- merry would be in the front line for migrant species of dragonfly from the Continent. We rec- orded our first sightings of Small Red-eyed Damselfly Eryth- romma viridulum on 1st August 2014 but since then it has been quiet as far as migrant dragon- flies are concerned. Sussex Dragonfly Society Newsletter Continued ... I’ve always been a keen follower of Adrian Parr’s Migrant Dragonflies Facebook page and before every survey I spend time going through his books to remind myself what migrants to look out for. On 5th July this year we arrived at the RSPB Medmerry car park at Earnley in good time to meet other members of Chichester NHS and have lunch before our first dragonfly survey of the season.

  • Thesis Draft Rough
    Wesleyan University The Honors College Plant-pollinator interactions across California grassland and coastal scrub vegetation types on San Bruno Mountain, San Mateo County by Miles Gordon Brooks Class of 2020 A thesis submitted to the faculty of Wesleyan University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts with Departmental Honors from the College of the Environment Middletown, Connecticut April, 2020 1 2 Abstract Animal pollination of plants is a crucial ecosystem service for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem function, worldwide. High pollinator abundance and diversity can likewise improve the reproductive success of the plant community. Plant-pollinator interaction networks have the potential to identify dominant, specialist, and generalist pollinator species within a system, and their host plant counterparts. Understanding these relationships is paramount for buffering natural systems from biodiversity loss in a world where pollinator abundance continues to decline rapidly. San Bruno Mountain (SBM) in San Mateo County, California, is one of the last natural, open spaces in the urban landscape in the northern San Francisco Peninsula. I conducted a series of timed meanders and vegetation surveys at eight sample sites within SBM (four grassland and four coastal scrub sites) to identify plant species prevalence and pollinator species visitation of flowering plants. I employed a multivariate approach for investigating plant and pollinator species richness, plant and pollinator community composition, and trophic-level interactions across the SBM landscape, and I evaluated differences in these relationships between grassland and coastal scrub habitats. A total of 59 pollinator species and 135 plant species were inventoried over the course of the study.

According to the Red Data List of Berlin 31 of them are more or less endan- gered species. One remarkable species is Anteon flavicorne (DALMAN, 1818), which was rediscov- ered in the Berlin-Brandenburg region. Some further species are worth mentioning too, like Elam- pus bidens (FÖRSTER, 1853), Astata kashmirensis NURSE, 1909, and Crossocerus tarsatus (SHUCKARD, 1837). To preserve the extensive open landscape measures of management like cutting or grazing are necessary. Zusammenfassung Auf dem Flughafen Tempelhof wurden zwischen August 2004 und Juli 2005 insgesamt 241 Wild- bienen- und Wespenarten nachgewiesen, davon 31 Arten der Roten Liste Berlins. Bemerkenswert ist der Nachweise von Anteon flavicorne (DALMAN, 1818), ein Wiederfund für Berlin und Branden- burg. Einige weitere Arten sind erwähnenswert, darunter Elampus bidens (FÖRSTER, 1853), Astata kashmirensis NURSE, 1909 und Crossocerus tarsatus (SHUCKARD, 1837). Zum Erhalt der weitläufi- gen Offenlandschaft sind Pflegemaßnahmen wie extensive Mahd oder Beweidung notwendig. 1 Einleitung Der Flugbetrieb auf dem Flughafen Tempelhof wurde am 30. Oktober 2008 einge- stellt. Diese Schließung hängt unmittelbar mit der Inbetriebnahme des neuen Groß- flughafens Berlin Brandenburg International (BBI) im Jahr 2012 zusammen. Vier Jahre vor der Schließung wurden von der Senatsverwaltung für Stadtentwicklung flo- ristische und faunistische Untersuchungen auf dem Flugfeld Tempelhof in Auftrag gegeben.

  • Butterflies & Moths of Southern Poland
    Tour Report Poland – Butterflies & Moths of Southern Poland 14-22 July 2019 Araschnia levana Plebejus argus Zygaena minos Lycaena helle Compiled by: Andrzej Petryna 01962 302086 [email protected] www.wildlifeworldwide.com Tour Leader: Andrzej Petryna with 5 participants Day 1: Arrive Krakow; drive to Szarów Sunday 14 July 2019 Weather: sunny in early afternoon; heavy storm later. Continuous rain for the rest of the day. Temperature from 20°C/15°C in the storm After collecting all the participants and leaving the airport, we headed to the nearest part of the Jurassic hills just outside Kraków, to make the most of the daylight and to visit a few interesting sites before arriving at the hotel. We stopped at a large area of wet meadows with numerous butterfly host plants. Even though our walk was soon interrupted by a thunderstorm, we still managed to spot some interesting butterflies, including violet copper, scarce large blue and dusky large blue. The rain did not stop and the weather forecast for the rest of the day was unfavourable so we finished our walk and drove straight to our hotel in Szarów near Niepołomice, postponing our visit for a more convenient time and better conditions. After dinner, we discussed our plans for the coming days, with the hope that the weather would improve. Day 2: Jurassic hills – north-west from Krakow Monday 15 July 2019 Weather: sunny; 23°C; cloudy in the afternoon Today we explored another scenic part of the Jurassic hills, located north-east from Kraków, with xerothermic slopes, limestone rocks and deep gorges with small streams.

ZooKeys 615: 73–94. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.615.8857 Abstract The Palaearctic species of theGasteruption assectator aggregate (Hymenoptera, Gasteruptiidae) are revised and three species are recognised. Two species are re-instated: Gasteruption boreale (Thomson, 1883), stat. n. and G. nigritarse (Thomson, 1883), stat. n., and both are excluded from the synonymy with G. assectator (Linnaeus, 1758). The general distribution of both species is given for Europe and in detail for Sweden. A key to the valid Palaearctic species of the Gasteruption assectator aggregate is given; key characters and pri- mary types are illustrated. Four new synonyms are listed: Foenus fumipennis Thomson, 1883, Trichofoenus breviterebrae Watanabe, 1934, and Gasteruption margotae Madl, 1987, are synonymized with Gasteruption boreale (Thomson, 1883) andGasteruption brevicauda Kieffer, 1904, withG. undulatum (Abeille de Perrin, 1879). Keywords Europe, Gasteruption boreale, Gasteruption nigritarse, key, new records, re-instated species, Sweden, synonyms Copyright Niklas Johansson, Cornelis van Achterberg.
