However, the origin of the maternal care in the family has remained unclear due to the lack of phylogenetic hypotheses. Another reproductive mode is found in non-caring species whose females smear their eggs before leaving them. They possess pairs of complex organs on the abdominal venter called Pendergrast’s organ (PO) and spread the secretion of this organ onto each egg with their hind legs, which is supposed to provide a protective function against enemies. Some authors claim that the absence of PO may be associated with the presence of maternal care. No study, however, has tested this hypothesis of a correlated evolution between the two traits. Results: We reconstructed the molecular phylogeny of the subfamily Acanthosomatinae using five genetic markers sequenced from 44 species and one subspecies with and without maternal care.

    Genome Evolution During Development of Symbiosis in Extracellular Mutualists of Stink Bugs (Pentatomidae) DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alejandro Otero-Bravo Graduate Program in Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology The Ohio State University 2020 Dissertation Committee: Zakee L. Sabree, Advisor Rachelle Adams Norman Johnson Laura Kubatko Copyrighted by Alejandro Otero-Bravo 2020 Abstract Nutritional symbioses between bacteria and insects are prevalent, diverse, and have allowed insects to expand their feeding strategies and niches. It has been well characterized that long-term insect-bacterial mutualisms cause genome reduction resulting in extremely small genomes, some even approaching sizes more similar to organelles than bacteria. While several symbioses have been described, each provides a limited view of a single or few stages of the process of reduction and the minority of these are of extracellular symbionts. This dissertation aims to address the knowledge gap in the genome evolution of extracellular insect symbionts using the stink bug – Pantoea system. Specifically, how do these symbionts genomes evolve and differ from their free- living or intracellular counterparts? In the introduction, we review the literature on extracellular symbionts of stink bugs and explore the characteristics of this system that make it valuable for the study of symbiosis. We find that stink bug symbiont genomes are very valuable for the study of genome evolution due not only to their biphasic lifestyle, but also to the degree of coevolution with their hosts. i In Chapter 1 we investigate one of the traits associated with genome reduction, high mutation rates, for Candidatus ‘Pantoea carbekii’ the symbiont of the economically important pest insect Halyomorpha halys, the brown marmorated stink bug, and evaluate its potential for elucidating host distribution, an analysis which has been successfully used with other intracellular symbionts.

Yet, the services insects render to us humans as pollinators, entomophages, producers of honey, wax, silk, shellac, dyes, etc. have been estimated to be worth 20 billion dollars annually to the USA alone. The role holy scarabs played to ancient Egyptians is legendary, but other religions, too, appreciated insects: the Bible mentions honey 55 times. Insects as ornaments and decoration have been common throughout the ages and nowadays adorn stamps, postcards, T-shirts, and even the human skin as tattoos.

  • Cyphosoma MNNH. to Touzalinia THY
    Procrustomachia Occasional Papers of the Uncensored Scientists Group 2, 3: 15-64 Milanówek 25 VI 2017 ISSN 2543-7747 ________________________________________________________________________________________ Review of Indo-Pacific Dicercina GISTL (Coleoptera: Buprestidae): Cyphosoma MNNH. to Touzalinia THY. Roman B. HOŁYŃSKI PL-05822 Milanówek, ul. Graniczna 35, skr. poczt. 65, POLAND e-mail: rholynski@o2.pl This paper is dedicated to those Colleagues who prefer to help – rather than backbite and defame – the work of others. Introduction Dicercina GISTL, one of the largest and most widely distributed subtribes of the Buprestidae LEACH (several hundred – above 700 according to OBENBERGER 1926, 1930 – species in some 15-20 genera inhabiting almost all tropical and subtropical areas of the world), are represented in the Indo-Pacific Region by 10 genera and more than 100 species. The taxon comprises big or at least medium-sized, frequently colourful species, many of which are rather common, but nevertheless even their taxonomic relations and geographical distribution (to say nothing about bionomy) remain relatively poorly known: the last comprehensive review of the “Groupe Psilopterites Lac.” (KERREMANS 1910) is almost nine decades old and includes only a part of the subtribe as presently understood, my (HOŁYŃSKI 1999) dissertation is also incomplete (Ovalisia KERR. treated only at the subgeneric level) and anyway has remained unpublished, OBENBERGER’s (1926) world catalogue is already badly outdated, that of BELLAMY (2008) admittedly represents but uncritical compilation, and thus the recent revision of Dicerca ESCH. and Poecilonota ESCH. (HOŁYŃSKI 2005, 2011a) and of Indochinese Psiloptera SOL. by AKIYAMA & OHMOMO (1994) are the only more than exiguous contributions to the knowledge of the Indo-Pacific representatives of the Dicercina GISTL published in the last decades; as the easily understandable consequence the status and affinities of most forms are often falsely interpreted, names wrongly applied, and specimens in collections notoriously misidentified.

  • This Is a Copy of That Talk Including Her Notes
    1 I’ll start with the obvious– that dung beetles eat dung. But that’s not the only requirement to be categorized as a “dung beetle”. For example, in this region you have lots of water beetles, called hydrophilids, that have made a neat behavioral shift from swimming in water to swimming in fresh cow poop, BUT they are not called dung beetles even though they are absolutely beetles in dung. We can safely call them dung-inhabiting beetles, but “dung beetle” strictly refers to specific taxonomic groupings of beetles found within the scarab super family that have all life stages associated with dung. 2 Now, I come from an insect biodiversity background, which means that I really like to order and categorize life into evolutionarily meaningful arrangements. And that is taxonomy in a nutshell. For my group, the dung beetles, we can see how they fit into the larger classification of beetles. Those considered dung beetles include: those from family Geotrupidae, depending on who’s defining the term “dung beetle” and two scarab subfamilies: Scarabaeinae and Aphodiinae– these two groups are the ones I work most closely with. And for two groups who are very closely related, there is an incredible amount of variation in things like development, behavior, and size. For example, the adult body size of these guys can span four orders of magnitude! 3 I don’t want to bog you all down too much with the morphological characteristics we look at to distinguish scarabaeines from aphodiines, but in looking at a representative from each subfamily– we can see they’re pretty different and they serve as a great example of how so often in biology that form follows function.

Anania coronata (Hufnagel), a Holarctic species of pyraustine crambid moth, has long been treated as having two geographically separated subspecies – the nominotypical Anania coronata in the Palaearctic Region and Anania coronata tertialis (Guenee)´ in the Nearctic Region. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference analysis of mitochondrial DNA barcodes both recover four well-supported, reciprocally monophyletic groups within Anania coronata. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of genital structures reveal diagnostic differences that correspond to the four barcode lineages. On the basis of both molecular and morphological evidence, we conclude that Anania coronata is actually a complex of four species.

E-mail: puskas.gellert@nhmus.hu Abstract – A small introduced population of Eupholidoptera garganica La Greca, 1959 (Orthop- tera: Tettigoniidae: Tettigoniinae: Pholidopterini) was found in a garden suburb of Albertfalva, part of Budapest. Altogether 8 singing males were detected in July 2018, on a less than 2 hectare area. Th e origin of the population is unknown; the species arrived most probably accidentally with horticultural plants from Italy. With 4 fi gures. Key words – established population, faunistics, introduced species, urban environment INTRODUCTION Th e anthropogenic spread of insects is a world-wide phenomenon (e.g. Kenis et al. 2009). In Hungary 170 invertebrates are regarded as invasive spe- cies (Báldi et al.
