Mostly out of focus. barneystreit@hotmail. com Problems of Photography at Small Scales In photography at small scale - the size of insects - the part of an image which is in focus is much less than at larger scale. In subjects such as landscapes, the depth of focus may be from few metres to infinity. For subjects that are few centimetres large, the sharp area in an image is usually only a few millimetres deep (Figure 1, only top of elytra is in focus). The rest of the image is out of focus. Focus- stacking is a technique in which a number of images are taken of a subject while the camera is advanced in small increments. In the resulting series of images only a certain area in each image is in focus. The series of images can then be processed by software which combines the sharp areas of each image and creates a single image in which the entire subject is in focus. Factors which have an effect on the quality of the image are the number of images, the distance travelled between images and the accuracy with which the camera advances towards the subject. The System A single small base plate contains all components: camera and the sled, the subject and the stage and lighting. All parts are solidly mounted since unwanted movement of any component Figures 2-4: Macro photography setup. reduces the quality of the final picture. Page 2 Figure 5: Technical drawing, side view.

  • A Chromosomal Analysis of 15 Species of Gymnopleurini, Scarabaeini and Coprini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)
    A chromosomal analysis of 15 species of Gymnopleurini, Scarabaeini and Coprini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) R. B. Angus, C. J. Wilson & D. J. Mann The karyotypes of one species of Gymnopleurini, two Scarabaeini, five Onitini and seven Coprini are described and illustrated. Gymnopleurus geoffroyi, Scarabaeus cristatus, S. laticollis, Bubas bison, B. bubalus, B. bubaloides, Onitis belial, O. ion, Copris lunaris, Microcopris doriae, M. hidakai and Helopcopris gigas all have karyotypes with 2n=18 + Xy. Copris hispanus and Paracopris ����������ramosiceps have karyotypes with 2n=16 + Xy and Copris sinicus has a karyotype comprising 2n=12 + Xy. Heterochromatic B-chromosomes have been found in Bubas bubalus. Spanish material of Bubas bison lacks the distal heterochromatic blocks found in most of the chromosomes of Italian specimens. The karyotype of Heliocopris gigas is unusual in that the autosomes and X chromosome are largely heterochromatic. R. B. Angus* & C. J.

Elephant dung was inspected for beetles by manually pulling apart dung present at elephant salt licks. Two sites were visited on 3 occasions and at least 20 piles of dung were inspected on each visit. 11 taxa of dung beetle were collected, Copris numa, Cp. bellator, Cp. doriae, Copris sp., Heliocopris tyrannus, Liatongus femoratus, Paragymnopleurus maurus, Sisyphus thoracicus, Onthophagus mulleri, O. rutilans and Megatelus sp. Most species were from the large tunnelers class in comparison to small tunnelers that tend to dominate other types of dung. While this is merely a preliminary sample, most of the species encountered have not been found in locations where elephants are absent. Larva of Campsiura nigripennis, a flower beetle was found to dwell inside the dung. The larvae were successfully bred to adulthood in elephant dung in laboratory conditions. Predatory Histeridae were found to also oviposit on the dung, in which the larvae preyed on other beetle and fly larva. One larva in a dung ball possibly belonging to Paragymnopleurus sp.

SCARAB BEETLES IN HUMAN CULTURE BRETT C. RATCLIFFE Systematics Research Collections W-436 Nebraska Hall University of Nebraska Lincoln, NE 68588-0514, U.S.A. [email protected] Abstract The use of scarab beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) by primarily pre- and non-industrial peoples throughout the world is reviewed. These uses consist of (1) religion and folklore, (2) folk medicine, (3) food, and (4) regalia and body ornamentation. The use of scarabs in religion or cosmology, once widespread in ancient Egypt, exists only rarely today in other cultures. Scarabs have a minor role in folk medicine today although they may have been more important in the past. The predominant utilization of these beetles today, and probably in the past as well, is as food with emphasis on the larval stage. Lastly, particularly large or brightly colored scarabs (or their parts) are used (mostly in the New World) to adorn the body or as regalia.

  • The Effect of Dung Beetle Size on Soil Nutrient Mobilization in an Afrotropical Forest
    insects Communication The Effect of Dung Beetle Size on Soil Nutrient Mobilization in an Afrotropical Forest Roisin Stanbrook 1,* , Edwin Harris 2, Martin Jones 3 and Charles Philip Wheater 3 1 Biology Department, University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL 32816, USA 2 Department of Agriculture and Environment, Harper Adams University, Newport TF10 8NB, UK; [email protected] 3 Department of Natural Sciences, Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester M1 5GD, UK; [email protected] (M.J.); [email protected] (C.P.W.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Simple Summary: Dung beetles are known to instigate and provide a number of services, which benefit humankind. In addition to feeding on mammal dung, dung beetles also use dung to form underground brood balls which are used for larval development. This process instigates several ecological functions, such as dung removal and nutrient cycling. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of dung removal in pastoral and natural habitats but the effect of dung beetle body size on the amount of nutrients transferred when dung is buried remains unclear. In this preliminary study, we investigate the role of African dung beetle body size in nutrient cycling. We analyzed the nutrient content of soil directly underneath dung pats using three treatments containing dung beetles of varying sizes and one control treatment without beetles over a 112-day period. Our data show that dung beetle body size has a significant effect on the quantity of macronutrients transferred over time and that dung beetle body size is an important factor in the type and amount of nutrients transferred.

Forgie a,*, Ute Kryger a, Paulette Bloomer b, Clarke H. Scholtz a a Department of Zoology and Entomology, University of Pretoria, Pretoria 0002, Republic of South Africa b Department of Genetics, University of Pretoria, Pretoria 0002, Republic of South Africa Received 16 May 2005; revised 7 April 2006; accepted 16 April 2006 Available online 6 May 2006 Abstract The Scarabaeini is an old world tribe of ball-rolling dung beetles that have origins dating back to at least the mid-upper Miocene (19–8 million years ago). The tribe has received little to no attention in morphological or molecular phylogenetics. We obtained sequence data from the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (1197 bp) and 16S ribosomal RNA (461 bp) genes for 25 species of the Scara- baeini in an attempt to further resolve broad phylogenetic relationships within this tribe. Sequence data from both markers along with 216 morphological and 3 biological characters were analysed separately and combined. Independent analyses showed poorly resolved trees with many of the intermediate and basal nodes collapsed by low bootstrap values. Many sites in both genes exhibited strong A + T nucleotide bias and high interlineage divergences. The combined analysis revealed a number of well supported relationships such as the monophyly of the nocturnal species Scarabaeus satyrus, S. [Neateuchus] proboscideus, and S. zambesianus. Furthermore, the total evidence tree suggested to elevate S. (Pachysoma) to the status of an independent genus, Pachysoma, as a sister taxon to a clade contain- ing Pachylomerus femoralis and Scarabaeus sensu lato.

Bowen May 2021 ***** CE/T Committee: Professor Keith Philips, Chair Professor Albert Meier Ms. Cheryl Kirby-Stokes Copyright by Jacob G. Bowen 2021 ABSTRACT The Nimba Mountain Range in Guinea, Ivory Coast, and Liberia is within the Upper Guinean Forests, a critical biodiversity hotspot highly threatened by various human activities. The region is home to many endemic species including the viviparous Nimba toad, Nimba otter-shrew, and the discrete Bossou chimpanzee population. Dung beetles can act as a focal taxon from which extrapolation to the diversity of other taxa and ecosystem health can be made. Elevational trends in dung beetle diversity were investigated on the Nimba Mountain Range and in the nearby Bossou Chimpanzee reserve in Guinea. Dung beetle species diversity surveys aimed to document the dung beetle species diversity of the area, investigate elevational trends in diversity, and assess the biotic integrity of this unique ecosystem and World Heritage Site.
