Molecular Evoloutionary Genetic Studies of Orthopteroid Insects MOLECULAR EVOLUTIONARY GENETIC STUDIES OF ORTHOPTEROID INSECTS: A BIBLIOGRAPHY. Since my last review of this topic (Chapco 1997), there has been a virtual explosion in the number of population genetics studies and phylogenetic analyses of grasshoppers, katydids and their kin in which molecular markers (e.g. RAPDs, AFLPs, microsatellites, partial mitochondrial and nuclear sequences and, more recently, complete genomic sequences) have been used as traits. To perform an up-to-date review at this time would be a somewhat daunting task. Instead, I am providing a list of references that have appeared since 1997 and which may prove useful to other researchers. The style I’ve chosen more or less follows that set out by the Journal of Orthoptera Research. Some references, strictly speaking, are not molecular in scope but ones in which comparisons with molecular phylogenetic findings are made (e.g. Cigliano and Amédégnato 2010). Others deal with molecular aspects of development (e.g. Dearden and Akam 2000), which, it is expected, will have phylogenetic implications in the future.

The studied species showed two distinct karyotypes, with 2n = 31 (male) and 2n = 23 (male) chromosomes. The drastic reduction in chromosome number observed in the latter case suggests multiple translocations and fusions as the main responsible that occurred during chromosome evolution. Two groups of rDNA distribution were found in Gampsocleis representatives analyzed.

The evaluation of genetic relationships within Acridid grasshoppers (Orthoptera, Caelifera, Acrididae) on the subfamily level using molecular markers. Folia Biologica (Kraków) 67: 119-126. Over the last few decades, molecular markers have been extensively used to study phylogeny, population dynamics, and genome mapping in insects and other taxa. Phylogenetic methods using DNA markers are inexpensive, fast and simple to use, and may help greatly to resolve phylogenetic relationships in groups with problematic taxonomy. However, different markers have various levels of phylogenetic resolution, and it’s important to choose the right set of molecular markers for a studied taxonomy level. Acrididae is the most diverse family of grasshoppers. Many attempts to resolve the phylogenetic relationships within it did not result in a clear picture, partially because of the limited number of molecular markers used. We have tested a phylogenetic resolution of three sets of the most commonly utilized mitochondrial molecular markers available for Acrididae sequences in the database: (i) complete protein-coding mitochondrial sequences, (ii) concatenated mitochondrial genes COI, COII, and Cytb, and (iii) concatenated mitochondrial genes COI and COII.

Orthoptera, Acrididae, Dichroplus fuscus, Robertsonian fusion, grasshoppers, chiasmata, trivalents, chromosomal cline Abstract. Robertsonian fusions account for many of the changes in the evolution of the orthopteran karyotype; in their origin, a centric fusion is involved between two acro-telocentric chromosomes, forming a single bi-armed chromosome. It is usual for these rearrange- ments to be associated with profound changes in meiosis, such as modification in frequency and distribution of chiasmata.Dichroplus fuscus is a South American grasshopper with a wide distribution. In this work we analyzed nine populations from Misiones Province, north-eastern Argentina. This species presents a standard karyotype of 2n = 23/24 (♂/♀) with all chromosomes acro-telocentric and an X0/XX chromosomal sex determining mechanism. This standard karyotype has been modified by the occurrence of two Robertso- nian fusions involving chromosomes 1/3 and 2/4; values of fusions per individual (fpi) show a significant increase in the presence of karyotypic polymorphisms towards southern populations.

  • Phylogeny of Ensifera (Hexapoda: Orthoptera) Using Three Ribosomal Loci, with Implications for the Evolution of Acoustic Communication
    Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 38 (2006) 510–530 www.elsevier.com/locate/ympev Phylogeny of Ensifera (Hexapoda: Orthoptera) using three ribosomal loci, with implications for the evolution of acoustic communication M.C. Jost a,*, K.L. Shaw b a Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, USA b Department of Biology, University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA Received 9 May 2005; revised 27 September 2005; accepted 4 October 2005 Available online 16 November 2005 Abstract Representatives of the Orthopteran suborder Ensifera (crickets, katydids, and related insects) are well known for acoustic signals pro- duced in the contexts of courtship and mate recognition. We present a phylogenetic estimate of Ensifera for a sample of 51 taxonomically diverse exemplars, using sequences from 18S, 28S, and 16S rRNA. The results support a monophyletic Ensifera, monophyly of most ensiferan families, and the superfamily Gryllacridoidea which would include Stenopelmatidae, Anostostomatidae, Gryllacrididae, and Lezina. Schizodactylidae was recovered as the sister lineage to Grylloidea, and both Rhaphidophoridae and Tettigoniidae were found to be more closely related to Grylloidea than has been suggested by prior studies. The ambidextrously stridulating haglid Cyphoderris was found to be basal (or sister) to a clade that contains both Grylloidea and Tettigoniidae. Tree comparison tests with the concatenated molecular data found our phylogeny to be significantly better at explaining our data than three recent phylogenetic hypotheses based on morphological characters. A high degree of conflict exists between the molecular and morphological data, possibly indicating that much homoplasy is present in Ensifera, particularly in acoustic structures. In contrast to prior evolutionary hypotheses based on most parsi- monious ancestral state reconstructions, we propose that tegminal stridulation and tibial tympana are ancestral to Ensifera and were lost multiple times, especially within the Gryllidae.

Professor Johannes Schul Professor Sarah Bush Professor Lori Eggert Professor Patricia Friedrichsen For my family Rachel and Mayr have given me so much. They show me unselfish affection, endless support, and generosity that seems to only grow. Without them the work here, and the adventure we’ve all three gone on surrounding it, would not have been possible. They have sacrificed birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and countless weekends and evenings. They’ve happily seen me off to weeks of field work and conference visits. I am thankful to them for being so generous, and completely lacking in resentment at all the things that pull their husband and dad in so many directions. They have both necessarily become adept at melting away anxiety; I will forever be indebted to the hugs of a two-year-old and the kind words of his mom. Rachel and Mayr both deserve far more recognition than is possible here. I also want to thank my parents and brother and sisters.

Higher parasitisation by H. dactylocercus was recorded during epidemic outbreak of A. albistriga during 2007 (28.5%) and in 2008 (6.5%) when the pest incidence was relatively lower due to late onset of monsoon. The mermithid activity was associated with high rainfall in both the years. Seasonal dynamics of H. dactylocercus is discussed. KEY WORDS: Nematode, mermithid, Hexamermis dactylocercus, red hairy caterpillar, Amsacta albistriga (Article chronicle: Received: 28.05.2010; Sent for revision: 08.07.2010; Accepted: 03.08.2010) INTRODUCTION photoperiod. Observations were recorded daily from all the individual larvae for parasitisation. Red hairy caterpillar, Amsacta albistriga (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae), is a polyphagous and devastating Thin, cream coloured nematode juveniles measuring pest of rainfed crops in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and 65-148 mm long and 0.08-0.28mm wide were found Tamil Nadu. Several natural biocontrol agents have been emerging from second and third instar larvae of A. albistriga nd reported to regulate its incidence under field conditions from 2 day onwards till 6 days. The number of juveniles (Manjula and Sudheer, 2004; Gunathilagaraj and Babu, emerging from each parasitized RHCP larva was 2.8 ± 0.7 1987; Veenakumari et al., 2008).

We provide a comparison of Oxya kashmorensis sp.nov. and O. nitidula which is RS designed the study and compiled recorded from Pakistan for the first time. Comparative information on the female genitalia of both species the data. NS collected the samples and is provided. Further, a note on the ecology and distribution of both species is given. With the addition of MSW identified the species. O. kashmorensis and the new record of O. nitidula, the numbers of known species in genus Oxya is raised to 9 for Pakistan and 5 for Sindh. We further provide a key to the Oxya species from Sindh.
