Both type specimens were collected near Warburton, Victoria, the other female speci- men in the National Museum collection being labelled " Millgrove, Victoria; T. H. Tregellas.'"

    Patterns of Animal Dispersal, Vicariance and Diversification in the Holarctic

With 15 figures doi:10.1006/bij1.2001.0542, available online at http;//www.idealibrary.comon IDE bl 0 c Patterns of animal dispersal, vicariance and diversification in the Holarctic ISABEL SANMARTIN1*, HENRIK ENGHOFF' and FREDRIK RONQUISTl 'Department of Systematic Zoology, Evolutionary Biology Centre, Uppsala University, Norbyvugen 180, SE-752 36 Uppsala, Sweden 2Zoologisk Museum, Uniuersitetsparken 15, DK-2100 Copenhagen, Denmark Received 23 October 2000; accepted for publication 25 March 2001 We analysed patterns of animal dispersal, vicariance and diversification in the Holarctic based on complete phylogenies of 57 extant non-marine taxa, together comprising 770 species, documenting biogeographic events from the Late Mesozoic to the present. Four major areas, each corresponding to a historically persistent landmass, were used in the analyses: eastern Nearctic (EN), western Nearctic (WN), eastern Palaeoarctic (EP) and western Palaeoarctic (WP). Parsimony-based tree fitting showed that there is no significantly supported general area cladogram for the dataset. Yet, distributions are strongly phylogenetically conserved, as revealed by dispersal- vicariance analysis (DIVA). DIVA-based permutation tests were used to pinpoint phylogenetically determined biogeographic patterns. Consistent with expectations, continental dispersals (WP-EP and WN-EN) are sig- nificantly more common than palaeocontinental dispersals (WN-EP and EN-WP), which in turn are more common than disjunct dispersals (EN-EP and WN-WP). There is significant dispersal asymmetry both within the Nearctic (WN+EN more common than EN+WN) and the Palaeoarctic (EP+WP more common than WP-tEP). Cross- Beringian faunal connections have traditionally been emphasized but are not more important than cross-Atlantic connections in our data set.

These insects had small wing-like lateral expansions of the prothorax, and a fairly well- developed posterior (concave) median vein in both wings, both of which have been lost in modern stoneflies. Developments in some of the mor- phological features which have been most studied are as follows: Nymphal mouth parts: The holognathous families are characterized by bulky mandibles, by short thick palpi, and by having the paraglossae and glossae of the labium about equal in length. In the adult the man- dibles remain large and functional.

    Insect Egg Size and Shape Evolve with Ecology but Not Developmental Rate Samuel H

    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1302-4 Insect egg size and shape evolve with ecology but not developmental rate Samuel H. Church1,4*, Seth Donoughe1,3,4, Bruno A. S. de Medeiros1 & Cassandra G. Extavour1,2* Over the course of evolution, organism size has diversified markedly. Changes in size are thought to have occurred because of developmental, morphological and/or ecological pressures. To perform phylogenetic tests of the potential effects of these pressures, here we generated a dataset of more than ten thousand descriptions of insect eggs, and combined these with genetic and life-history datasets. We show that, across eight orders of magnitude of variation in egg volume, the relationship between size and shape itself evolves, such that previously predicted global patterns of scaling do not adequately explain the diversity in egg shapes. We show that egg size is not correlated with developmental rate and that, for many insects, egg size is not correlated with adult body size. Instead, we find that the evolution of parasitoidism and aquatic oviposition help to explain the diversification in the size and shape of insect eggs. Our study suggests that where eggs are laid, rather than universal allometric constants, underlies the evolution of insect egg size and shape. Size is a fundamental factor in many biological processes. The size of an 526 families and every currently described extant hexapod order24 organism may affect interactions both with other organisms and with (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Fig. 1). We combined this dataset with the environment1,2, it scales with features of morphology and physi- backbone hexapod phylogenies25,26 that we enriched to include taxa ology3, and larger animals often have higher fitness4.

  • Provisional List of Invertebrates Requiring Urgent Management

    Provisional List of Invertebrates Requiring Urgent Management

    Australian Government Bushfire Recovery Package for Wildlife and their Habitat Provisional list of priority invertebrate species requiring urgent management intervention or on-ground assessment The 2019-20 fires of eastern and southern Australia have had severe impacts on many Australian animals and plants. Because there are far more invertebrate species than there are vertebrate or plant species, and many invertebrate species have very localised ranges, it is likely that the fires will have severely affected many more invertebrate than plant or vertebrate species. However, for invertebrate species, the severity of this impact can be challenging to assess, because distributional information is typically limited, there are few monitoring programs for invertebrates, there is limited information on the susceptibility of most invertebrates to fire, invertebrates are poorly represented on threatened species lists, and the conservation status of most invertebrate species is unknown. In order to help guide conservation responses, this report identifies 191 invertebrate species known or presumed to have been severely affected by the 2019-20 fires. This prioritisation is based mostly on spatial analysis of the extent of overlap between species’ distributional range and fire, with such analysis considering the following groups of Australian invertebrate species: • approximately 700 invertebrate species listed as threatened under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 or equivalent state and territory legislation or on the global IUCN Red List of Threatened Species • invertebrate species considered to be of concern by state and territory agencies and by some experts, because of fire impacts • some taxonomic groups likely to contain many fire-affected species. The analysis considered potential impacts from fires in southern and eastern Australian between 1 July 2019 and 24 February 2020 identified in the National Indicative Aggregated Fire Extent Dataset.

Hilsenhoff2 ABSTRACT Major improvements were made in using a biotic index of the arthropod fauna to evaluate organic stream pollution. All tolerance values were reevaluated, many were changed, and the scale for tolerance values was expanded to 0-10 to provide greatcr precision. Keys to larvae of Ceratopsyche have been developed and tolerance values for species in this important genus are provided. Sorting of samples in the laboratory instead of in the field is recommended, and directions for processing and evaluating samples are included. A "saprobic index" (Pantel and Buck 1955) and a "biotic indcx" (Chutter 1972) werc proposed for evaluating the water quality of streams through a study of their fauna.

Heteroptera, Corixoidea, aquatic invertebrates, food webs, diet, predation, feeding habits Abstract. Food webs are of crucial importance for understanding any ecosystem. The accuracy of food web and ecosystem models rests on the reliability of the information on the feeding habits of the species involved. Water boatmen (Corixoidea) is the most diverse superfamily of water bugs (Heteroptera: Nepomorpha), frequently the most abundant group of insects in a variety of freshwater habitats worldwide. In spite of their high biomass, the importance of water boatmen in aquatic ecosystems is fre- quently underestimated. The diet and feeding habits of Corixoidea are unclear as published data are frequently contradictory. We summarise information on the feeding habits of this taxon, which exemplify the diffi culties in evaluating published data on feeding habits in an invertebrate taxon.
