Arge Indicura N. Sp. Feeding on Potentilla and Sanguisorba (Insecta, Hymenoptera, Argidae) from Japan
Bull. Natl. Mus. Nat. Sci., Ser. A, 35(1), pp. 55–71, March 22, 2009 Arge indicura n. sp. Feeding on Potentilla and Sanguisorba (Insecta, Hymenoptera, Argidae) from Japan Akihiko Shinohara1 and Hideho Hara2 1 Department of Zoology, National Museum of Nature and Science, 3–23–1 Hyakunin-cho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, 169–0073 Japan E-mail: [email protected] 2 Hokkaido Forestry Research Institute, Koshunai, Bibai-shi, Hokkaido, 079–0198 Japan E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new argid sawfly, Arge indicura, is described from Japan. It was identified with Arge nigrovaginata Malaise, 1931, described from the Russian Far East, for more than seven decades, but a recent examination of Malaise’s type material has revealed the misidentification. Previously unknown immature stages are described, new host plant records are given, and the distribution and life history are discussed based on the specimens examined and rearing experiments. The mostly greenish, solitary and cryptic larvae feed on the leaves of Potentilla and Sanguisorba (also Fra- garia and Duchesnea in the laboratory), all belonging to the clade Sanpotina of the Rosaceae. Arge indicura probably has three generations a year in the lowland of central Honshu. Key words : Argidae, Arge indicura, new species, Potentilla, Sanguisorba. In the course of our revisionary works on the Our examination of the holotype of Arge pa- sawfly genus Arge of Japan and adjacent regions, gana var. nigrovaginata has revealed that the we have found that the Japanese species previ- Japanese species does not belong to Malaise’s ously determined as Arge nigrovaginata Malaise, taxon. -

The Distribution and Habitat Preferences of Bats in a Temperate Urban Landscape
The distribution and habitat preferences of bats in a temperate urban landscape Paul Lintott July 2015 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Biological & Environmental Sciences, School of Natural Sciences The University of Stirling Declaration I hereby declare that this thesis has been composed by myself and that it embodies the results of my own research. Where appropriate, I have acknowledged the nature and extent of work carried out in collaboration with others. ………………………………………………………………………….. Paul Lintott Summary Urbanisation is a key driver in the loss, fragmentation and modification of natural habitats resulting in the global loss of biodiversity. As the human population, and consequently the rate of urbanisation, continues to increase exponentially it is important to understand how to sustain and enhance biodiversity within the built environment. Cities comprise a complex assortment of habitat types yet relatively little is known of how its composition and spatial configuration can influence species presence or foraging activities. It is therefore necessary to examine habitat use and biodiversity patterns at multiple spatial scales to fully understand how species are responding to the urban matrix. There are few other orders of animals that are as strongly associated with people as bats (Chiroptera); for some bat species human habitations provide roosts and adaptations of the environment provide food sources. However bat species richness generally declines with increasing urbanisation indicating that many species are not able to persist in highly urbanised areas. In this thesis, I show that the behaviour, habitat preferences, and distribution of bats are strongly influenced by the built environment at both a local and landscape scale. -

Checklist of the Spider Wasps (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) of British Columbia
Checklist of the Spider Wasps (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) of British Columbia Scott Russell Spencer Entomological Collection Beaty Biodiversity Museum, UBC Vancouver, B.C. The family Pompilidae is a cosmopolitan group of some 5000 species of wasps which prey almost exclusively on spiders, giving rise to their common name - the spider wasps. While morphologically monotonous (Evans 1951b), these species range in size from a few millimetres long to among the largest of all hymenopterans; genus Pepsis, the tarantula hawks may reach up to 64 mm long in some tropical species (Vardy 2000). B.C.'s largest pompilid, Calopompilus pyrrhomelas, reaches a more modest body length of 19 mm among specimens held in our collection. In North America, pompilids are known primarily from hot, arid areas, although some species are known from the Yukon Territories and at least one species can overwinter above the snowline in the Colorado mountains (Evans 1997). In most species, the females hunt, attack, and paralyse spiders before laying one egg on (or more rarely, inside) the spider. Prey preferences in Pompilidae are generally based on size, but some groups are known to specialize, such as genus Ageniella on jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) and Tachypompilus on wolf spiders (Araneae: Lycosidae) (Evans 1953). The paralysed host is then deposited in a burrow, which may have been appropriated from the spider, but is typically prepared before hunting from existing structures such as natural crevices, beetle tunnels, or cells belonging to other solitary wasps. While most pompilids follow this general pattern of behaviour, in the Nearctic region wasps of the genus Evagetes and the subfamily Ceropalinae exhibit cleptoparasitism (Evans 1953). -
