Changes in vegetation structure can alter the physical habitat structure, thermal environment, and food available to arthropods, which play an important role in the structure and functioning of Arctic ecosystems. Not only do they provide key ecosystem services such as pollination and nutrient cycling, they are an essential food source for migratory birds. In this study I examined the relationships between the abundance, diversity, and community composition of arthropods and the height and cover of several shrub species across a tundra-shrub gradient in northwestern Alaska. To characterize nestling diet of common passerines that occupy this gradient, I used next-generation sequencing of fecal matter. Willow cover was strongly and consistently associated with abundance and biomass of arthropods and significant shifts in arthropod community composition and diversity.

(e-mail: john. brown @ars.usda.gov ) Abstract.—Clepsis anderslaneyii, new species is described and illustrated from the "sky islands" (i.e., Chiricahua, Huachuca, and Santa Rita mountains) of southeastern Arizona, U.S.A. Superficially, it is most similar to Argvrotac'nia dorsafana (Dyar 1903), but it is assigned unambiguously to Clepsis Guenée on the basis of the characteristically modified transtilla, which includes a narrow or obsolete mesal portion and a dentate subbasal swollen lobe. Among Nearctic congeners, the male genitalia of C. anderslanevii are most similar to those of C. fucana (Walsingham 1879), but those of C anderslanevii can be distinguished by the more broadly pointed valva, narrower transtilla, bulbous uncus, and broader tegumen. The extremely short ductus bursae of the female genitalia of C. andersianevu is unique among Clepsis.

Aarvik, Târnveien 6, N-1430 As, Norway ; K. Larsen, Niels Frederiksensalle 21, DK-2700 Bronshoj, Denmark. Summary On the basis of several Ö and ç specimens collected by the authors in northern Norway in 1982 it is stated that Clepsis mehli (Opheim, 1964) is a separate and valid species. In 1964 Opheim described mehli on the basis of a single specimen from northern Norway, but later Razowski (1979) changed its status to subspecies rank of the Japanese species Clepsis insignata Oku, 1963. Imago and genitalia of both sexes of the Clepsis species most related to mehli namely C. tannuolana Kostjuk, 1973 andC. insignata are figured and compared. C. mehli is more closely related to tannuolana than to insignata. Remarks on the variation and habitat of mehli are given. The description of Clepsis mehli (Opheim, 1964) was based on a single male from northern Norway: Fn : Vardo, 20.VÜ.1 962 (R. Mehl, coll. Zoological Museum, Oslo). It was described in the genus Epagoge Hb. (Opheim, 1964). The second specimen of mehli, also a male, was found in northern Norway as well: Fi: Rafsnes, primo.vii.1979 (J.

The 25 results confirm the hypothesis that Cochylina is a monophyletic group embedded within a 26 paraphyletic Euliina. We recognize and define six major monophyletic lineages within 27 Cochylina: a Phtheochroa Group, a Henricus Group, an Aethes Group, a Saphenista Group, a 28 Phalonidia Group, and a Cochylis Group.

    Phylogeny, evolution and speciation of Choristoneura and Tortricidae (Lepidoptera) by Giovanny Fagua González A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Systematics and Evolution Department of Biological Sciences University of Alberta © Giovanny Fagua González, 2017 Abstract Leafrollers moths are one of the most ecologically and economically important groups of herbivorous insects. These Lepidoptera are an ideal model for exploring the drivers that modulate the processes of diversification over time. This thesis analyzes the evolution of Choristoneura Lederer, a well known genus because of its pest species, in the general context of the evolution of Tortricidae. It takes an inductive view, starting with analysis of phylogenetic, biogeographic and diversification processes in the family Tortricidae, which gives context for studying these processes in the genus Choristoneura. Tectonic dynamics and niche availability play intertwined roles in determining patterns of diversification; such drivers explain the current distribution of many clades, whereas events like the rise of angiosperms can have more specific impacts, such as on the diversification rates of herbivores. Tortricidae are a diverse group suited for testing the effects of these determinants on the diversification of herbivorous clades. To estimate ancestral areas and diversification patterns in Tortricidae, a complete tribal-level dated tree was inferred using molecular markers and calibrated using fossil constraints. The time-calibrated phylogeny estimated that Tortricidae diverged ca. 120 million years ago (Mya) and diversified ca. 97 Mya, a timeframe synchronous with the rise of angiosperms in the Early-Mid Cretaceous. Ancestral areas analysis supports a Gondwanan origin of Tortricidae in the South American plate.
