A Genus-Level Supertree of Adephaga (Coleoptera) Rolf G
ARTICLE IN PRESS Organisms, Diversity & Evolution 7 (2008) 255–269 www.elsevier.de/ode A genus-level supertree of Adephaga (Coleoptera) Rolf G. Beutela,Ã, Ignacio Riberab, Olaf R.P. Bininda-Emondsa aInstitut fu¨r Spezielle Zoologie und Evolutionsbiologie, FSU Jena, Germany bMuseo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, Madrid, Spain Received 14 October 2005; accepted 17 May 2006 Abstract A supertree for Adephaga was reconstructed based on 43 independent source trees – including cladograms based on Hennigian and numerical cladistic analyses of morphological and molecular data – and on a backbone taxonomy. To overcome problems associated with both the size of the group and the comparative paucity of available information, our analysis was made at the genus level (requiring synonymizing taxa at different levels across the trees) and used Safe Taxonomic Reduction to remove especially poorly known species. The final supertree contained 401 genera, making it the most comprehensive phylogenetic estimate yet published for the group. Interrelationships among the families are well resolved. Gyrinidae constitute the basal sister group, Haliplidae appear as the sister taxon of Geadephaga+ Dytiscoidea, Noteridae are the sister group of the remaining Dytiscoidea, Amphizoidae and Aspidytidae are sister groups, and Hygrobiidae forms a clade with Dytiscidae. Resolution within the species-rich Dytiscidae is generally high, but some relations remain unclear. Trachypachidae are the sister group of Carabidae (including Rhysodidae), in contrast to a proposed sister-group relationship between Trachypachidae and Dytiscoidea. Carabidae are only monophyletic with the inclusion of a non-monophyletic Rhysodidae, but resolution within this megadiverse group is generally low. Non-monophyly of Rhysodidae is extremely unlikely from a morphological point of view, and this group remains the greatest enigma in adephagan systematics. -

The subfamily Hydroporinae is the most diverse subfamily in the family Dytiscidae and contains 49 valid species and 16 genera belonging to 7 tribes (Bidessini, Hydroporini, Hydrovatini, Hygrotini, Hyphydrini, Methlini and Vatel- lini). Bidessini is the most diverse tribe, with 13 species and 5 genera. The present checklist provides notes concerning the type lo- calities, type specimens, descriptors, new combinations and geographic distributions. Keywords: Coleoptera, Dytiscidae, Hydroporinae, checklist, Egypt. Lista comentada de la adefagofauna acuática (Coleoptera) de Egipto. II. Dytiscidae: Hydroporinae Resumen: En base a bibliografía retrospectiva, se ha elaborado la lista faunística comentada de los coleópteros adéfagos acuáticos de la familia Dytiscidae de Egipto pertenecientes a la subfamilia Hydroporinae. Esta es la más diversa en Egipto y comprende 16 géneros y 49 especies distribuidas en 7 tribus (Bidessini, Hydroporini, Hydrovatini, Hygrotini, Hyphydrini, Methlini y Vatellini). La primera de ellas, Bidessini, resulta ser la de mayor riqueza taxonómica, con 5 géneros y 13 especies. Esta lista aporta varios datos de interés nomenclatural para posteriores catálogos zoogeográficos, como son las localidades de donde se han descrito los tipos, institución de depósito, descriptores, modificaciones de estatus y distribución geográfica. -

Using Taxonomic Revision Data to Estimate the Global Species Richness and Characteristics of Undescribed Species of Diving Beetles (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae)
Biodiversity Informatics, 7, 2010, pp. 1-16 USING TAXONOMIC REVISION DATA TO ESTIMATE THE GLOBAL SPECIES RICHNESS AND CHARACTERISTICS OF UNDESCRIBED SPECIES OF DIVING BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: DYTISCIDAE) VIKTOR NILSSON-ÖRTMAN AND ANDERS N. NILSSON Dept. of Ecology and Environmental Science, Umeå University, SE-90187, Umeå, Sweden Abstract.— Many methods used for estimating species richness are either difficult to use on poorly known taxa or require input data that are laborious and expensive to collect. In this paper we apply a method which takes advantage of the carefully conducted tests of how the described diversity compares to real species richness that are inherent in taxonomic revisions. We analyze the quantitative outcome from such revisions with respect to body size, zoogeographical region and phylogenetic relationship. The best fitting model is used to predict the diversity of unrevised groups if these would have been subject to as rigorous species level hypothesis-testing as the revised groups. The sensitivity of the predictive model to single observations is estimated by bootstrapping over resampled subsets of the original data. The Dytiscidae is with its 4080 described species (end of May 2009) the most diverse group of aquatic beetles and have a world-wide distribution. Extensive taxonomic work has been carried out on the family but still the number of described species increases exponentially in most zoogeographical regions making many commonly used methods of estimation difficult to apply. We provide independent species richness estimates of subsamples for which species richness estimates can be reached through extrapolation and compare these to the species richness estimates obtained through the method using revision data. -

Here we describe the seasonal variation of the macroarthropod community associated to Til- landsia carlos-hankii Makuda (Bromeliaceae) in a deciduous forest located at “Petenera”, Santa Catarina Ixte- peji, Oaxaca, Mexico. Eight T. carlos-hankii specimens were collected during the wet season and 10 during dry season. We recorded 874 macroarthropod individuals, belonging to one phylum, four classes, 17 orders, 60 families and 81 morphospecies. The richest order was Araneae (21 morphospecies), from which Salticidae (4 spp.), Staphylinidae (4 spp.) and Lygaeidae (4 spp.) were the most abundant families. -

Elongation During Segmentation Shows Axial Variability, Low Mitotic Rates, and Synchronized Cell Cycle Domains in the Crustacean, Thamnocephalus Platyurus Savvas J
Constantinou et al. EvoDevo (2020) 11:1 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13227-020-0147-0 EvoDevo RESEARCH Open Access Elongation during segmentation shows axial variability, low mitotic rates, and synchronized cell cycle domains in the crustacean, Thamnocephalus platyurus Savvas J. Constantinou1,4, Nicole Duan1,5, Lisa M. Nagy2, Ariel D. Chipman3 and Terri A. Williams1* Abstract Background: Segmentation in arthropods typically occurs by sequential addition of segments from a posterior growth zone. However, the amount of tissue required for growth and the cell behaviors producing posterior elonga- tion are sparsely documented. Results: Using precisely staged larvae of the crustacean, Thamnocephalus platyurus, we systematically examine cell division patterns and morphometric changes associated with posterior elongation during segmentation. We show that cell division occurs during normal elongation but that cells in the growth zone need only divide ~ 1.5 times to meet growth estimates; correspondingly, direct measures of cell division in the growth zone are low. Morphomet- ric measurements of the growth zone and of newly formed segments suggest tagma-specifc features of segment generation. Using methods for detecting two diferent phases in the cell cycle, we show distinct domains of synchro- nized cells in the posterior trunk. Borders of cell cycle domains correlate with domains of segmental gene expression, suggesting an intimate link between segment generation and cell cycle regulation. Conclusions: Emerging measures of cellular dynamics underlying posterior elongation already show a number of intriguing characteristics that may be widespread among sequentially segmenting arthropods and are likely a source of evolutionary variability. These characteristics include: the low rates of posterior mitosis, the apparently tight regula- tion of cell cycle at the growth zone/new segment border, and a correlation between changes in elongation and tagma boundaries.
