    Opsin Duplication and Subfunctionalization for Short-Wavelength Sensitivity in Jewel Beetles (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) Nathan P

    Lord et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2016) 16:107 DOI 10.1186/s12862-016-0674-4 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access A cure for the blues: opsin duplication and subfunctionalization for short-wavelength sensitivity in jewel beetles (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) Nathan P. Lord1*, Rebecca L. Plimpton2, Camilla R. Sharkey1, Anton Suvorov1, Jonathan P. Lelito3, Barry M. Willardson2 and Seth M. Bybee1 Abstract Background: Arthropods have received much attention as a model for studying opsin evolution in invertebrates. Yet, relatively few studies have investigated the diversity of opsin proteins that underlie spectral sensitivity of the visual pigments within the diverse beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera). Previous work has demonstrated that beetles appear to lack the short-wavelength-sensitive (SWS) opsin class that typically confers sensitivity to the “blue” region of the light spectrum. However, this is contrary to established physiological data in a number of Coleoptera. To explore potential adaptations at the molecular level that may compensate for the loss of the SWS opsin, we carried out an exploration of the opsin proteins within a group of beetles (Buprestidae) where short-wave sensitivity has been demonstrated. RNA- seq data were generated to identify opsin proteins from nine taxa comprising six buprestid species (including three male/female pairs) across four subfamilies. Structural analyses of recovered opsins were conducted and compared to opsin sequences in other insects across the main opsin classes—ultraviolet, short-wavelength, and long-wavelength. Results: All nine buprestids were found to express two opsin copies in each of the ultraviolet and long-wavelength classes, contrary to the single copies recovered in all other molecular studies of adult beetle opsin expression.
  • Factors Affecting Sperm Quality Before and After Mating of Calopterygid Damselflies

    Factors Affecting Sperm Quality Before and After Mating of Calopterygid Damselflies

    Factors Affecting Sperm Quality Before and After Mating of Calopterygid Damselflies Kaori Tsuchiya, Fumio Hayashi* Department of Biology, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Tokyo, Japan Abstract Damselflies (Odonata: Zygoptera) have a more complex sperm transfer system than other internally ejaculating insects. Males translocate sperm from the internal reproductive organs to the specific sperm vesicles, a small cavity on the body surface, and then transfer them into the female. To examine how the additional steps of sperm transfer contribute to decreases in sperm quality, we assessed sperm viability (the proportion of live sperm) at each stage of mating and after different storage times in male and female reproductive organs in two damselfly species, Mnais pruinosa and Calopteryx cornelia. Viability of stored sperm in females was lower than that of male stores even just after copulation. Male sperm vesicles were not equipped to maintain sperm quality for longer periods than the internal reproductive organs. However, the sperm vesicles were only used for short-term storage; therefore, this process appeared unlikely to reduce sperm viability when transferred to the female. Males remove rival sperm prior to transfer of their own ejaculate using a peculiar-shaped aedeagus, but sperm removal by males is not always complete. Thus, dilution occurs between newly received sperm and aged sperm already stored in the female, causing lower viability of sperm inside the female than that of sperm transferred by males. If females do not remate, sperm viability gradually decreases with the duration of storage. Frequent mating of females may therefore contribute to the maintenance of high sperm quality.

Two independent molecular sources were used to reconstruct phylogeny: the 16S rRNA gene on the mitochondrial genome and the 28S rRNA gene on the nuclear genome. A comparison of the sequences showed that the obtained 28S rDNA sequences have evolved at a much slower rate than the 16S rDNA, and that the former is better than the latter for resolving deep branching in the Odonata. Both molecular sources indicated that the Zygoptera are paraphyletic, and when a reasonable weighting for among-site rate variation was enforced for the 16S rDNA data set, E. superstes was placed between the two remaining major suborders, namely, Zygoptera and Anisoptera (dragonflies). Character reconstruction analysis suggests that multiple hits at the rapidly evolving sites in the 16S rDNA degenerated the phylogenetic signals of the data set.

Abstract In this study we use high resolution SEM to describe the diversity of wax crystals and their distribution on different morphological structures in male individuals of Calopteryx splendens. The entire cuticle surface of this damselfly, with the exception of ommatidia and ocelli, is covered with crystalline wax in dimensions from sub- micron to micron range. It is shown that shape – rod-like, plate like, filamentous, etc. –, size, and density of crystals vary on different surfaces and in individuals of dif- ferent ages. Additionally, we demonstrate different types of damage to the crystalline wax layer: scratches, compressions, wear, and contamination. The primary function of the wax crystalline coverage in odonates is, presumably, reduction of surface wet- tability by water (superhydrophobicity). However, other functions are also discussed, especially in such specialized body areas as postero-ventral parts of male abdomen, the so called ‘lantern’.

Changing distribution patterns along a stream in adults of Calopteryx haemorrhoidalis (Odonata: Calopterygidae): a case of larval-drift compensation? Jan J. Beukema Netherlands Institute for Sea Research, P.O. Box 59, NL-1790 AB Den Burg, Texel, The Netherlands. <[email protected]> Received II April 200 I; revised 23 August 200 I; accepted 05 September 200 I. Key words: Odonata, dragonfly, damselfly, Calopteryx, along-stream distribution, upstream movements, drift compensation, adult life stages. Abstract The distribution of an isolated population of adult Calopteryx haemorrhoidalis was studied along a small stream in NE Spain, during two-week or three-week summer periods over five years. Distribution patterns differed consistently between age groups. Reproductive activities took place along the entire stream, whereas the presence of tenerals and older immature individuals was restricted to the lower reaches of the stream. It is concluded that emergence took place only in the lower reaches and that this can be explained by larval drift due to strong currents regularly depleting the upper half of the stream. Recovery of individually marked teneral specimens indicated that immature individuals remained in the area around the lower reaches, during roughly the first week of their adult life. During the following week, when they had attained mature wing coloration but did not yet show reproductive activities, they moved for long distances. This was particularly true for newly matured males, where the distance between two successive encounters could amount to hundreds of meters. By far the greatest proportion of these moves was upstream.
