The book cover and the logo were designed by Jee-Yeon Koo. Preface Biological resources are important elements encompassing organisms, genetic resources, and parts of organisms which provide potential values essential for human lives. The creation of high-valued products such as new varieties of organisms, new substances, and the development of new drugs by harnessing biological resources is now widely perceived to be one of the major indices of national competitiveness. In the wake of the “Convention of Biological Diversity”, which was adopted in 1992 in recognition of national sovereignty over indigenous biological and genetic resources, all the countries of the world are now concerting their efforts on the discovery of original materials for the bio-industry, initiating international competition in the 21st century. Competition among countries for biological resources is now entering an intense phase following the adoption of the ABS (Access to genetic resources and Benefit-Sharing) international regime in Nagoya in 2010. For this reason, the National Institute of Biological Resources of the Korean Ministry of Environment recognizes the preservation and management of the biological resources in Korea for the bio-industry as a first priority project for the future, and has begun publication of Flora and Fauna of Korea for the systematic preservation and efficient management of our biological resources. Korea has been acclaimed as a country with a high level of biological diversity, the total number of described species in Korea to date being about 37,000. Beginning in 2006, the National Institute of Biological Resources embarked on the publication of Flora and Fauna of Korea which, containing comprehensive and diverse information on our invaluable native species, has become the standard textbook of native species. The systematic survey of diverse taxa in all parts of Korea led by a group of professionals in the field of taxonomy over the past four years has finally come to fruition and culminated in the appearance of 16 monographs in the 2010 volumes of Flora and Fauna of Korea encompassing 1,037 species in 158 families belonging to 9 phyla, along with further volumes of Flora and Fauna of Korea encompassing 1,163 species in 112 families belonging to 7 phyla due to appear this year. This is the first volume of Flora and Fauna of Korea in which a taxon of organisms of the Korean Peninsula is extensively treated at the level of species. Flora and Fauna of Korea will contribute to raising the standard of Korean taxonomy and improve pride in the management of our biological resources through enhanced understanding of the true nature of our native species. In addition, I am confident that the ongoing publication of Flora and Fauna of Korea will significantly contribute to paving the way for sustainable, wise use of biological resources. I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to Dr. Ki-Jeong Hong, National Plant Quarantine Service, Mr. Sangwook Park, Research Institute of Forest Insects Diversity and Dr. Kyungduk Han, Korea University, who are responsible for writing this publication of Flora and Fauna of Korea. This series will play a pivotal role in the census of native Korean species, which are estimated to number 100,000. By promoting innovative and taxonomic research for the identification of the totality of native Korean species and by continuously publishing such results in Flora and Fauna of Korea, I sincerely hope that a valuable foundation will be laid for the sustainable use of our national biological resources through the extensive research, development and for their profitable use by a prosperous bio-industry in the creation of high-valued products such as natural products, medicines, cosmetics and essential supple- ments in our country.

Prosta 290 D/2, 25-385 Kielce, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Simple Summary: Euryommatus mariae is a legendary weevil species in Europe, first described in the 19th century and not collected through the 20th century. Though rediscovered in the 21st century at few localities in Poland, Austria, and Germany, it remains one of the rarest of European weevils, and its biology is unknown. We present the first descriptions of the larva and pupa of E. mariae, and confirm its saproxylic lifestyle. The differences and similarities between immatures of E. mariae and the genera Coryssomerus, Cylindrocopturus and Eulechriopus are discussed, and a list of larval characters common to all Conoderitae is given. The characters of adult postabdomen are described and illustrated for the first time for diagnostic purposes. Our study confirmed the unusual structure of the male endophallus, equipped with an extremely long ejaculatory duct enclosed in a peculiar fibrous conduit, not seen in other weevils. We hypothesize that the extraordinarily long Citation: Gosik, R.; Wanat, M.; Bidas, and spiral spermathecal duct is the female’s evolutionary response to the male’s extremely long M.

    The Beetle Fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and Distribution

    INSECTA MUNDI, Vol. 20, No. 3-4, September-December, 2006 165 The beetle fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and distribution Stewart B. Peck Department of Biology, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6, Canada stewart_peck@carleton. ca Abstract. The beetle fauna of the island of Dominica is summarized. It is presently known to contain 269 genera, and 361 species (in 42 families), of which 347 are named at a species level. Of these, 62 species are endemic to the island. The other naturally occurring species number 262, and another 23 species are of such wide distribution that they have probably been accidentally introduced and distributed, at least in part, by human activities. Undoubtedly, the actual numbers of species on Dominica are many times higher than now reported. This highlights the poor level of knowledge of the beetles of Dominica and the Lesser Antilles in general. Of the species known to occur elsewhere, the largest numbers are shared with neighboring Guadeloupe (201), and then with South America (126), Puerto Rico (113), Cuba (107), and Mexico-Central America (108). The Antillean island chain probably represents the main avenue of natural overwater dispersal via intermediate stepping-stone islands. The distributional patterns of the species shared with Dominica and elsewhere in the Caribbean suggest stages in a dynamic taxon cycle of species origin, range expansion, distribution contraction, and re-speciation.

Thus, both in terms of quantities produced and the value of its products, the vine constitutes a particularly important cultivation. THE HOST PLANT AND ITS CULTIVATION The original area of distribution of the genus Vitis was broken up by the separation of the continents; although numerous species developed, Vitis vinifera has been cultivated from the beginning for its fruit and wine producing qualities (43, 75, 184). This cultivation commenced in Transcaucasia about 6000 B.C. Subsequent human migration spread its cultivation, at firstaround the Mediterranean coast; the Roman conquest led to the plant's progressive establishment in Europe, almost to its present extent. Much later, the WesternEuropeans planted the grape vine wherever cultiva­ tion was possible, i.e. throughout the temperate and warm temperate regions of the by NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY on 02/01/10.

    Conspicuousness, Phylogenetic Structure, and Origins of Müllerian

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Conspicuousness, phylogenetic structure, and origins of Müllerian mimicry in 4000 lycid beetles from all zoogeographic regions Michal Motyka1, Dominik Kusy1, Michal Masek1, Matej Bocek1, Yun Li1, R. Bilkova1, Josef Kapitán2, Takashi Yagi3 & Ladislav Bocak1* Biologists have reported on the chemical defences and the phenetic similarity of net-winged beetles (Coleoptera: Lycidae) and their co-mimics. Nevertheless, our knowledge has remained fragmental, and the evolution of mimetic patterns has not been studied in the phylogenetic context. We illustrate the general appearance of ~ 600 lycid species and ~ 200 co-mimics and their distribution. Further, we assemble the phylogeny using the transcriptomic backbone and ~ 570 species. Using phylogenetic information, we closely scrutinise the relationships among aposematically coloured species, the worldwide diversity, and the distribution of aposematic patterns. The emitted visual signals difer in conspicuousness. The uniform coloured dorsum is ancestral and was followed by the evolution of bicoloured forms. The mottled patterns, i.e. fasciate, striate, punctate, and reticulate, originated later in the course of evolution. The highest number of sympatrically occurring patterns was recovered in New Guinea and the Andean mountain ecosystems (the areas of the highest abundance), and in continental South East Asia (an area of moderate abundance but high in phylogenetic diversity). Consequently, a large number of co-existing aposematic patterns in a single region and/or locality is the rule, in contrast with the theoretical prediction, and predators do not face a simple model-like choice but cope with complex mimetic communities. Lycids display an ancestral aposematic signal even though they sympatrically occur with diferently coloured unproftable relatives.
