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. -

(e-mail: john. brown @ars.usda.gov ) Abstract.—Clepsis anderslaneyii, new species is described and illustrated from the "sky islands" (i.e., Chiricahua, Huachuca, and Santa Rita mountains) of southeastern Arizona, U.S.A. Superficially, it is most similar to Argvrotac'nia dorsafana (Dyar 1903), but it is assigned unambiguously to Clepsis Guenée on the basis of the characteristically modified transtilla, which includes a narrow or obsolete mesal portion and a dentate subbasal swollen lobe. Among Nearctic congeners, the male genitalia of C. anderslanevii are most similar to those of C. fucana (Walsingham 1879), but those of C anderslanevii can be distinguished by the more broadly pointed valva, narrower transtilla, bulbous uncus, and broader tegumen. The extremely short ductus bursae of the female genitalia of C. andersianevu is unique among Clepsis.

Well, two situations can occur as a result of relying on pesticides to regulate insect or mite pest populations that involve directly or indirectly killing natural enemies (e.g., parasitoids or predators). These are secondary pest outbreak and target pest resurgence. Secondary pest outbreak or pest replacement occurs when a major insect or mite pest is regulated downward and continues to be regulated downward by a particular pest management strategy, such as the use of pesticides, but is replaced in importance by another insect or mite pest that was previously of minor importance. Let me provide an example of secondary pest outbreak. In general, the twospotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) is considered a secondary pest (although many people may not agree with this generalization), that is induced by the extensive use of pesticides. Both carbaryl (Sevin) and cyfluthrin (Tempo) are both effective in regulating the adult stage of many beetle pests such as the Japanese beetle (Popilla japonica); however, both pesticides have a broad- spectrum of activity and extensive use of either or both of these products will result in the direct killing many types of insect or mite pests. -

Anania coronata (Hufnagel), a Holarctic species of pyraustine crambid moth, has long been treated as having two geographically separated subspecies – the nominotypical Anania coronata in the Palaearctic Region and Anania coronata tertialis (Guenee)´ in the Nearctic Region. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference analysis of mitochondrial DNA barcodes both recover four well-supported, reciprocally monophyletic groups within Anania coronata. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of genital structures reveal diagnostic differences that correspond to the four barcode lineages. On the basis of both molecular and morphological evidence, we conclude that Anania coronata is actually a complex of four species. -
Summer Fruit Tortrix Moth Adoxophyes Orana
Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management/Division of Agriculture Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey (CAPS) Summer Fruit Tortrix Moth Adoxophyes orana Native to Europe and Asia, the Summer Fruit Tortrix Moth is not known to occur in the U.S. The Summer Fruit Tortrix Moth is most commonly a pest of apple, cherry and pear trees; however it does have a large range of other hosts. Hania Arentsen, Garden Safari, www.forestryimages.org Identifying Features: Adults emerge from late May through late June, FEMALE: from loosely woven cocoons on host plants. Males have a V. Mastro, USDA, APHIS, PPQ 15-19 mm wingspan, with the forewings being light grayish- brown or yellowish-brown in color. They have distinct brown markings. Hind wings are light gray. Females have a 19-22 mm wingspan with dullish, gray-brown forewings and markings which are less distinct than those of males. Female hind wings are brownish-gray. These adults give rise to the first generation of larvae (summer caterpillars). The larvae are 18-22 mm long with a brown head. When mature the head turns a honey- yellow color. The thoracic legs are light brown and the MALE: overall color of the caterpillar is greenish yellow to olive V. Mastro, USDA, APHIS, PPQ green. These adults will produce the second generation of larvae (fall caterpillars) which will overwinter on plants until the following spring. Damage: • Caterpillars cause damage by feeding on the leaves and fruit. • Point-like holes are left in the fruit tissue by larvae. • Before overwintering, fall caterpillars may feed on fruit causing irregular depressions on the surface of the fruit. -

Phylogeny, evolution and speciation of Choristoneura and Tortricidae (Lepidoptera) by Giovanny Fagua González A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Systematics and Evolution Department of Biological Sciences University of Alberta © Giovanny Fagua González, 2017 Abstract Leafrollers moths are one of the most ecologically and economically important groups of herbivorous insects. These Lepidoptera are an ideal model for exploring the drivers that modulate the processes of diversification over time. This thesis analyzes the evolution of Choristoneura Lederer, a well known genus because of its pest species, in the general context of the evolution of Tortricidae. It takes an inductive view, starting with analysis of phylogenetic, biogeographic and diversification processes in the family Tortricidae, which gives context for studying these processes in the genus Choristoneura. Tectonic dynamics and niche availability play intertwined roles in determining patterns of diversification; such drivers explain the current distribution of many clades, whereas events like the rise of angiosperms can have more specific impacts, such as on the diversification rates of herbivores. Tortricidae are a diverse group suited for testing the effects of these determinants on the diversification of herbivorous clades. To estimate ancestral areas and diversification patterns in Tortricidae, a complete tribal-level dated tree was inferred using molecular markers and calibrated using fossil constraints. The time-calibrated phylogeny estimated that Tortricidae diverged ca. 120 million years ago (Mya) and diversified ca. 97 Mya, a timeframe synchronous with the rise of angiosperms in the Early-Mid Cretaceous. Ancestral areas analysis supports a Gondwanan origin of Tortricidae in the South American plate.
