  • Folk Taxonomy, Nomenclature, Medicinal and Other Uses, Folklore, and Nature Conservation Viktor Ulicsni1* , Ingvar Svanberg2 and Zsolt Molnár3
    Ulicsni et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2016) 12:47 DOI 10.1186/s13002-016-0118-7 RESEARCH Open Access Folk knowledge of invertebrates in Central Europe - folk taxonomy, nomenclature, medicinal and other uses, folklore, and nature conservation Viktor Ulicsni1* , Ingvar Svanberg2 and Zsolt Molnár3 Abstract Background: There is scarce information about European folk knowledge of wild invertebrate fauna. We have documented such folk knowledge in three regions, in Romania, Slovakia and Croatia. We provide a list of folk taxa, and discuss folk biological classification and nomenclature, salient features, uses, related proverbs and sayings, and conservation. Methods: We collected data among Hungarian-speaking people practising small-scale, traditional agriculture. We studied “all” invertebrate species (species groups) potentially occurring in the vicinity of the settlements. We used photos, held semi-structured interviews, and conducted picture sorting. Results: We documented 208 invertebrate folk taxa. Many species were known which have, to our knowledge, no economic significance. 36 % of the species were known to at least half of the informants. Knowledge reliability was high, although informants were sometimes prone to exaggeration. 93 % of folk taxa had their own individual names, and 90 % of the taxa were embedded in the folk taxonomy. Twenty four species were of direct use to humans (4 medicinal, 5 consumed, 11 as bait, 2 as playthings). Completely new was the discovery that the honey stomachs of black-coloured carpenter bees (Xylocopa violacea, X. valga)were consumed. 30 taxa were associated with a proverb or used for weather forecasting, or predicting harvests. Conscious ideas about conserving invertebrates only occurred with a few taxa, but informants would generally refrain from harming firebugs (Pyrrhocoris apterus), field crickets (Gryllus campestris) and most butterflies.

A central feature of the European Water Framework Directive are the reference conditions. The ecological quality status is determined by calculating the distance between the present situation and the reference conditions. To describe reference conditions the natural variation of biota in pristine water bodies should be measured. Because pristine water bodies are not present in the Netherlands anymore, water bodies (springs, streams, rivers and oxbow lakes) in central Poland were investigated. Macrophytes and macroinvertebrates were sampled and environmental variables were measured. The water bodies appeared to have a high biodiversity and a good ecological quality.

  • Carmarthenshire Moth & Butterfly Group
    CARMARTHENSHIRE MOTH & BUTTERFLY GROUP NEWSLETTER ISSUE No.9 AUGUST 2007 Editor: Jon Baker (County Moth Recorder for VC44 Carms) INTRODUCTION Welcome to the 9th Newsletter. Let’s face it, July has been terrible. It’s been the wettest summer on record, and when it hasn’t been raining, it’s usually been cool, windy and grey. There have been very few opportunities to get out and look at insects, so consequently not a great deal has been recorded. But August is looking up, and certainly as I write this on August 1st the sun is shining and the forecast is set fair. In this edition I look at the limited highlights of the last month, as well as continue with the next section of the Pyralid review. I’ll continue doing these over the next few bulletins, and once I’ve finished Pyralids, maybe move on to some other group of micros. Please do take note of the information on National Moth Night (below). If the weather is not too bad, I really hope we can get some good participation and results. Given that so many species emerged very early in April, I am expecting there to be a number of unusual 2nd broods of things during August. If you do note any species that seems unusual at this time of year, I would like to hear about it. Otherwise, good luck all with August mothing, and let’s hope for some nice surprises…. I noticed quite a few Silver Y Autographa gamma at Pembrey by day on 31st July, so maybe there will be a little spell of migration.

  • Common Backswimmer Notonecta Glauca (Linnaeus 1758) (Hemiptera: Notonectidae)1 Taryn B
    EENY-738 Common Backswimmer Notonecta glauca (Linnaeus 1758) (Hemiptera: Notonectidae)1 Taryn B. Griffith and Jennifer L. Gillett-Kaufman2 Introduction Notonecta glauca, the common backswimmer (Figure 1), is an aquatic insect in the family Notonectidae. Insects in this family are commonly referred to as backswimmers or greater water boatman. Notonectids propel themselves through the water with their ventral side (belly) facing upwards, hence their common name of backswimmers (Figure 2). Notonectids can inflict wounds to humans with Figure 2. Notonecta sp. adult resting upside down underwater, which their proboscis (mouthpart), but this is very rare and often is typical of all Notonectids. is a result of rough handling. Credits: JRxpo. Flickr.com Distribution Although commonly collected in Europe (Soós et al. 2009), the common backswimmer can range from parts of northern Africa to western Siberia and northwestern China (Berchi 2013). Notonecta glauca is typically found in inland freshwater ponds, although they can be found in eutrophic (water excessively enriched in nutrients) freshwater bodies near the sea (Kjærstad et al. 2009). Many other Notonecta species occur in North America north of Mexico (Torre Bueno 1905). It is unclear if this species could become established if introduced to Florida, but its current distribu- tion includes several locations with similar climates and habitats. Figure 1.

  • Predator-Induced Defences in Daphnia Longicephala: Location of Kairomone Receptors and Timeline of Sensitive Phases to Trait Formation Linda C

Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd | Journal of Experimental Biology (2015) 218, 2918-2926 doi:10.1242/jeb.124552 RESEARCH ARTICLE Predator-induced defences in Daphnia longicephala: location of kairomone receptors and timeline of sensitive phases to trait formation Linda C. Weiss1,2,*, Julian Leimann2 and Ralph Tollrian2 ABSTRACT defences that oppose the current predatory threat and increase The freshwater crustacean Daphnia adapts to changing predation survival chances of the individual. These, so-called inducible risks by forming inducible defences. These are only formed when defences can manifest as behavioural, morphological or shifts in they are advantageous, saving associated costs when the defence is life-history parameters and are elicited upon the perception of ‘ ’ superfluous. However, in order to be effective, the time lag between predator-specific chemical cues called kairomones . All of these the onset of predation and the defence formation has to be short. inducible defensive strategies incur costs that are saved when the Daphnia longicephala develop huge protective crests upon exposure defence is not essential (Auld et al., 2010; Barry, 2002; DeWitt, to chemical cues (kairomones) from its predator the heteropteran 1998; Tollrian and Dodson, 1999; Walls et al., 1991). In addition, backswimmer Notonecta glauca. To analyse time lags, we costs are kept at a minimum, as many species scale their defences to determined kairomone-sensitive stages and the developmental time the predation risk and the magnitude of defence formation is directly frames of inducible defences. Moreover, we looked at additive correlated with the concentration of predator kairomones (Tollrian, effects that could result from the summation of prolonged kairomone 1993).

In Central Norway, the backswimmer Notonecta glauca L., 1758 occurs on the northern margin of its distribution area. The species has recently dispersed northwards, both naturally along the west coast and inland from an introduced population in Trondheim. The history of N. glauca records in the Trondheim district is presented in detail, and new records from Central Norway and some habitat characteristics are given. In the next few decades, we expect the species to become more widely distributed and abundant in Central Norway and northwards.

  • First Record of the Backswimmer Notonecta Meridionalis (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Notonectidae) in Romania
    Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle © 28 décembre «Grigore Antipa» Vol. LV (2) pp. 217–220 2012 DOI: 10.2478/v10191-012-0013-y FIRST RECORD OF THE BACKSWIMMER NOTONECTA MERIDIONALIS (HEMIPTERA: HETEROPTERA: NOTONECTIDAE) IN ROMANIA GAVRIL MARIUS BERCHI, PETR KMENT, MILCA PETROVICI Abstract. Notonecta meridionalis Poisson, 1926 is present in almost all circum-Mediteranean countries and shouthern parts of Central Europe. First record of this species from Romania is given. Résumé. Notonecta meridionalis Poisson, 1926 est présente dans les pays circum-méditerrannéens et dans la region sudique de l’Europe Centrale. C’est la première mention de cette éspèce en Roumanie. Key words: true bugs, new record, hemelytron variability, Palaearctic Region. The backswimmers (family Notonectidae) are represented worldwide with 11 genera and nearly 400 species (Polhemus, 2009), but in Europe only 3 genera and 13 species occur (Notonecta Linnaeus, 1758 – 9 species, Anisops Spinola, 1837 – 3 species, Nychia Stål, 1860 – 1 species) (Polhemus, 1995; Aukema, 2011). Among others, Paina (1975) listed for Romania 2 species of Notonectidae, subfamily Notonectinae: Notonecta glauca glauca Linnaeus, 1758 and N. viridis Delcourt, 1909. Besides the two previous species, Kis & Davidescu (1994) recorded one female specimen of N. lutea Müller, 1776 from the Danube Delta. The list of this family was complemented recently by Anisops sardeus sardeus Herrich-Schaeffer, 1849 belonging to subfamily Anisopinae (Berchi, 2011). There are no records of N. meridionalis in Romania so far.

    AQUATIC HEMIPTERA OF NORTHEASTERN ALGERIA: DISTRIBUTION, PHENOLOGY AND CONSERVATION Fouzi ANNANI 1,2, Ahmed H. AL F ARHAN 3 & Boudjéma SA M RAOUI 1,3* RÉSUMÉ.— Hémiptères aquatiques du nord-est de l’Algérie : distribution, phénologie et conserva- tion.— L’échantillonnage de 83 sites à travers le complexe de zones humides du nord-est Algérien, un point chaud de la biodiversité aquatique, a permis d’identifier 35 espèces d’hémiptères aquatiques. La répartition et la phénologie des espèces sont présentées et les histoires de vie de Notonecta glauca et Notonecta obli- qua déduites. Ces deux espèces estivent dans des milieux refuges à hautes altitudes avant de redescendre se reproduire en plaine à l’automne. Diverses manifestations de changements globaux (pompage de l’eau, construction de barrages, introduction d’espèces exotiques et fragmentation des milieux) influencent néga- tivement l’intégrité écologique des milieux de la région étudiée. SUMMARY.— A survey, involving the sampling of 83 sites, investigated the aquatic hemiptera of north- eastern Algeria, a well known hotspot of aquatic biodiversity. The study recorded 35 species with data on distribution and phenology presented and discussed. Aspects of the life history of some species (Notonecta glauca and Notonecta obliqua) were inferred from their distribution and phenology and they were found to aestivate at high altitude refuges. Insect conservation in North Africa is still embryonic, relying mainly on protected areas to provide surrogate conservation to a rich and diverse group. This is inadequate in view of the current distribution of aquatic insects, often located in unprotected habitats (intermittent streams, temporary pools, dunary ponds) and the fact that diverse manifestations of global changes (loss of habitats due to water extraction and dam construction, invasive species, habitat fragmentation) are fast eroding the biodiversity of protected areas.
