Other Arthropod Species

Queen’s University Biological Station Species List: Other Arthropods

The current list has been compiled by Dr. Ivy Schoepf, QUBS Research Coordinator, in 2018 and includes data gathered by direct observation, collected by researchers at the station and/or assembled using digital distribution maps. The list has been put together using resources from The Natural Heritage Information Centre (April 2018); The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (February 2018); iNaturalist and GBIF. Contact Ivy to report any errors, omissions and/or new sightings. Because arthropods comprise an Figure 1. Northern walkingsticks (Diapheromera incredibly diverse phylum, which includes femorata) can be quite large and measure up to 95 thousands of species, to help the reader navigate mm, with females typically being larger than males. their staggering diversity, I have broken down The one pictured here from QUBS is a rather small the entire phylum into several order- and class- individual, only measuring 50 mm. Photo courtesy of based sub-lists. The current list is, therefore, not Dr. Ivy Schoepf comprehensive and focuses only on a subset of arthropods. For information regarding arachnids; beetles; crickets & grasshoppers; crustaceans; dragonflies; flies; hymenopterans; and moths & butterflies, please consult their very own lists published on our website.

Based on the aforementioned criteria we can expect to find 84 additional arthropod species (phylum: Arthropoda) present at QUBS. These include 68 insects (class: Insecta); eight millipedes (class: Diplopoda); five springtails (class: Entognatha); two centipedes (class: Chilopoda); and one hexanauplian (class: Hexanauplia). Five species are considered as introduced (i). Species are reported using their full taxonomy; common name and status, based on whether the species is of global or provincial concern (see Table 1 for details).
