Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in Turkey

Rich.) at Gölcük Natural Park in Isparta and Crimean pine (Pinus nigra Arnold.) in Bilecik Şeyh Edebali University Campus. Anatis ocellata (Linnaeus, 1758) was found among the collected coccinellids and is reported for the first time in Turkish coccinellid fauna, after the identification of samples. Morphological features and taxonomic characters of this species are given with distribution and habitat notes.

Invertebrate Distribution and Diversity Assessment at the U. S. Army Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site a Report to the U
Invertebrate Distribution and Diversity Assessment at the U. S. Army Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site A report to the U. S. Army and U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service G. J. Michels, Jr., J. L. Newton, H. L. Lindon, and J. A. Brazille Texas AgriLife Research 2301 Experiment Station Road Bushland, TX 79012 2008 Report Introductory Notes The invertebrate survey in 2008 presented an interesting challenge. Extremely dry conditions prevailed throughout most of the adult activity period for the invertebrates and grass fires occurred several times throughout the summer. By visual assessment, plant resources were scarce compared to last year, with few green plants and almost no flowering plants. Eight habitats and nine sites continued to be sampled in 2008. The Ponderosa pine/ yellow indiangrass site was removed from the study after the low numbers of species and individuals collected there in 2007. All other sites from the 2007 survey were included in the 2008 survey. We also discontinued the collection of Coccinellidae in the 2008 survey, as only 98 individuals from four species were collected in 2007. Pitfall and malaise trapping were continued in the same way as the 2007 survey. Sweep net sampling was discontinued to allow time for Asilidae and Orthoptera timed surveys consisting of direct collection of individuals with a net. These surveys were conducted in the same way as the time constrained butterfly (Papilionidea and Hesperoidea) surveys, with 15-minute intervals for each taxanomic group. This was sucessful when individuals were present, but the dry summer made it difficult to assess the utility of these techniques because of overall low abundance of insects. -

E-mail: bien- [email protected] Abstract Although ladybirds of European Russia and the Caucasus have been the subject of numerous ecological and faunistic in- vestigations, there is an evident lack of appropriate identification keys. New, original keys to subfamilies, tribes, genera, and species of ladybirds (Coccinellidae) of European Russia and the Russian Caucasus are presented here. The keys in- clude all native species recorded in the region and all introduced alien species. Some species from adjacent regions are added. In total, 113 species are treated and illustrated with line drawings. Photographs of rare and endemic species are provided. Information on the distribution of species within the region under consideration is provided. Chilocorus kuwa- nae Silvestri, 1909 is recognized as a subjective junior synonym (syn. nov.) of Ch. renipustulatus (Scriba, 1791). Key words: Lady beetles, Coccinellids, determination, aborigenous species, introduced species Introduction The family Coccinellidae Latreille (ladybird beetles, lady beetles, ladybug, lady-cow) includes more than 6000 species, distributed throughout the world (Vandenberg 2002). One hundred and five species have been recorded in European Russia and the Russian Caucasus (Krasnodar Krai, Stavropol Krai, Adygea, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia, North Ossetia, Chechnya, Dagestan, Ingushetia) (Zaslavski 1965; Iablokoff-Khnzorian 1983; Savojskaja 1984; Kovář 2007; Korotyaev et al. -

Many species are phytophagous, feeding directly on plants; filling the primary consumer role of moving energy stored in plants to organisms that are unable to digest plant material (Triplehorn and Johnson 2005). Insects are responsible for a majority of the pollination that occurs and pollination relationships between host plant and pollinator can be very general with one pollinator pollinating many species of plant or very specific with both the plant and the pollinator dependant on each other for survival (Triplehorn and Johnson 2005). Insects can be mutualist, commensal, parasitic or predatory to the benefit or detriment -

A Comprehensive DNA Barcode Database for Central European Beetles with a Focus on Germany: Adding More Than 3500 Identified Species to BOLD

In many countries, they are well established for environmental impact assessment, but even in the well-studied Central European fauna, species identification can be very difficult. A comprehensive and taxonomically well-curated DNA barcode library could remedy this deficit and could also link hundreds of years of traditional knowledge with next generation sequencing technology. However, such a beetle library is missing to date. This study provides the globally largest DNA barcode reference library for Coleoptera for 15 948 individuals belonging to 3514 well-identified species (53% of the German fauna) with representatives from 97 of 103 families (94%). This study is the first comprehensive regional test of the efficiency of DNA barcoding for beetles with a focus on Germany. Sequences ≥500 bp were recovered from 63% of the specimens analysed (15 948 of 25 294) with short sequences from another 997 specimens.
