  • 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.

  • Wing-Based Communication in Carboniferous Insects
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-021-02281-0 OPEN Sound vs. light: wing-based communication in Carboniferous insects ✉ Thomas Schubnel 1,5 , Frédéric Legendre 1,5, Patrick Roques2, Romain Garrouste1, Raphaël Cornette1, ✉ Michel Perreau3,4, Naïl Perreau4, Laure Desutter-Grandcolas1,5 & André Nel 1,5 Acoustic communication is well-known in insects since the Mesozoic, but earlier evidence of this behavior is rare. Titanoptera, an ‘orthopteroid’ Permian-Triassic order, is one of the few candidates for Paleozoic intersex calling interactions: some specimens had highly specialized broadened zones on the forewings, which are currently considered—despite inconclusive evidence—as ‘resonators’ of a stridulatory apparatus. Here we argue that the stridulatory 1234567890():,; apparatus hypothesis is unlikely because the Titanoptera lack a stridulatory file on their bodies, legs or wings. Instead, comparing these broadened zones with similar structures in extant locusts, flies, and fossil damselflies, we find evidence that the Titanoptera used their wings to produce flashes of light and/or crepitated sounds. Moreover, we describe the first Carboniferous (~310 Mya) Titanoptera, which exhibits such specialized zones, thus corre- sponding to the oldest record of wing communication in insects. Whether these commu- nication systems were used to attract sexual partners and/or escape predators remain to be demonstrated. 1 Institut de Systématique, Évolution, Biodiversité (ISYEB), Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, CNRS, SU, EPHE, UA, 57 rue Cuvier, Paris Cedex 05, France. 2 Allée des Myosotis, Neuilly sur Marne, France. 3 IUT Paris Diderot, Université de Paris, 20 quater rue du département, Paris, France. 4 27 quai d’Anjou, Paris, France. 5These authors contributed equally: Thomas Schubnel, Frédéric Legendre, Laure Desutter-Grandcolas, André Nel.

  • Ten Instars in the Leprous Grasshopper, Phymateus Leprosus (Fabricius, 1793) (Caelifera: Pyrgomorphidae): Maximum Number Recorded in the Acridoidea
    Bonner zoologische Beiträge Band 56 (2007) Heft 1/2 Seiten 17–24 Bonn, März 2008 Ten Instars in the Leprous Grasshopper, Phymateus leprosus (Fabricius, 1793) (Caelifera: Pyrgomorphidae): Maximum Number Recorded in the Acridoidea G. KÖHLER1), S. ROTH2) & K. REINHARDT3) 1)Institute of Ecology, Friedrich-Schiller-University, Jena, Germany 2)University of Bergen, Department of Biology, Bergen, Norway 3)Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, The University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK Abstract. First instars of the pyrgomorphid Phymateus leprosus (Fabricius, 1793) were collected in the Great Karoo (South Africa). In the field about 190 hoppers were distributed in small groups over 1.5 m2 during the day, but densely aggregated during the night. The hoppers reared in captivity, were fed with Vincetoxi- cum, Euphorbia and Rubus. The mortality of the first instar hoppers was 97 %, but few of those that survi- ved reached adult moult. Ten juvenile instars of variable duration (2–8 weeks each) occurred in both sexes, which is the highest known stage number in the Acridoidea. Postfemur and body length measurements (exu- viae) as well as short descriptions are presented for each instar. The juvenile development lasted about one year, and the phenology corresponded with long-standing field observations by BISHOP (1940). One male and three female grasshoppers completed the biennial life cycle (April 2000 to January 2002). The adult lifespan amounted to 2–8 months, with mating attempts after three months, but no egg pods were produced. The ovariole numbers varied from 116 to more than 187. Fully developed eggs were found in females that died in July/August, but not in a female that died the following January.

  • Major Pests of African Indigenous Vegetables in Tanzania and the Effects Of
    i Major pests of African indigenous vegetables in Tanzania and the effects of plant nutrition on spider mite management Von der Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultat der Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Universität Hannover zur Erlangung des Grades Doktorin der Gartenbauwissenschaften (Dr. rer. hort) genehmigte Dissertation von Jackline Kendi Mworia, M.Sc. 2021 Referent: PD. Dr. sc. nat. Rainer Meyhöfer Koreferent: Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Dr. rer. hort. habil. Hans-Micheal Poehling Tag der promotion: 05.02.2020 ii Abstract Pest status of insect pests is dynamic. In East Africa, there is scanty information on pests and natural enemy species of common African Indigenous Vegetables (AIVs). To determine the identity and distribution of pests and natural enemies in amaranth, African nightshade and Ethiopian kale as well as pest damage levels, a survey was carried out in eight regions of Tanzania. Lepidopteran species were the main pests of amaranth causing 12.8% damage in the dry season and 10.8% in the wet season. The most damaging lepidopteran species were S. recurvalis, U. ferrugalis, and S. litorralis. Hemipterans, A. fabae, A. crassivora, and M. persicae caused 9.5% and 8.5% in the dry and wet seasons respectively. Tetranychus evansi and Tetranychus urticae (Acari) were the main pests of African nightshades causing 11%, twice the damage caused by hemipteran mainly aphids (5%) and three times that of coleopteran mainly beetles (3%). In Ethiopian kale, aphids Brevicoryne brassicae and Myzus persicae (Hemipterans) were the most damaging pests causing 30% and 16% leaf damage during the dry and wet season respectively. Hymenopteran species were the most abundant natural enemy species with aphid parasitoid Aphidius colemani in all three crops and Diaeretiella rapae in Ethiopian kale.

  • Fossil Perspectives on the Evolution of Insect Diversity
    FOSSIL PERSPECTIVES ON THE EVOLUTION OF INSECT DIVERSITY Thesis submitted by David B Nicholson For examination for the degree of PhD University of York Department of Biology November 2012 1 Abstract A key contribution of palaeontology has been the elucidation of macroevolutionary patterns and processes through deep time, with fossils providing the only direct temporal evidence of how life has responded to a variety of forces. Thus, palaeontology may provide important information on the extinction crisis facing the biosphere today, and its likely consequences. Hexapods (insects and close relatives) comprise over 50% of described species. Explaining why this group dominates terrestrial biodiversity is a major challenge. In this thesis, I present a new dataset of hexapod fossil family ranges compiled from published literature up to the end of 2009. Between four and five hundred families have been added to the hexapod fossil record since previous compilations were published in the early 1990s. Despite this, the broad pattern of described richness through time depicted remains similar, with described richness increasing steadily through geological history and a shift in dominant taxa after the Palaeozoic. However, after detrending, described richness is not well correlated with the earlier datasets, indicating significant changes in shorter term patterns. Corrections for rock record and sampling effort change some of the patterns seen. The time series produced identify several features of the fossil record of insects as likely artefacts, such as high Carboniferous richness, a Cretaceous plateau, and a late Eocene jump in richness. Other features seem more robust, such as a Permian rise and peak, high turnover at the end of the Permian, and a late-Jurassic rise.

  • (Caelifera: Pneumoridae) Contain Three Adipokinetic Peptides
    Eur. J. Entomol. 105: 211–217, 2008 http://www.eje.cz/scripts/viewabstract.php?abstract=1324 ISSN 1210-5759 (print), 1802-8829 (online) Bladder grasshoppers (Caelifera: Pneumoridae) contain three adipokinetic peptides GERD GÄDE Zoology Department, University of Cape Town, Rondebosch 7701, South Africa; e-mail: [email protected] Key words. Caelifera, Pneumoridae, Bullacris discolor, adipokinetic peptide, peptide sequencing, Edman sequencing, MALDI mass spectrometry Abstract. The corpora cardiaca (CC) of the pneumorid grasshopper species Bullacris discolor contain at least one substance that causes hyperlipaemia in the migratory locust. Isolation of neuropeptides belonging to the adipokinetic hormone (AKH) family was achieved by single-step reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) of CC extracts and monitoring trypto- phan fluorescence. The material of the bladder grasshopper showed three distinct fluorescence peaks with adipokinetic activity in the migratory locust. The peptide sequences were identified by Edman degradation after the N-terminal pyroglutamate residue had been cleaved off enzymatically, and the exact peptide masses were determined by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of- flight mass spectrometry. Moreover, the assigned peptides were synthesised and natural and synthetic peptides were compared in their behaviour in RP-HPLC. B. discolor stores three AKH peptides in its CC: two of those are octapeptides, Schgr-AKH-II (pELNFSTGWamide) and Peram-CAH-II (pELTFTPNWamide), whereas the third peptide is a decapeptide, Phyle-CC (pELTFTPNWGSamide. The concentration of carbohydrates in the haemolymph of B. discolor is about 3 times higher than the lipid concentration. Upon injection with synthetic Schgr-AKH-II no adipokinetic or hypertrehalosaemic effect was measurable.

  • Insects As Food in Sub-Saharan Africa

All rights reserved © 2003 ICIPE REVIEW ARTICLE INSECTS AS FOOD IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA A. VAN HUIS Laboratory of Entomology, Wageningen University, P.O. Box 8031, 6700 EH Wageningen, the Netherlands. E-mail: [email protected] (Accepted 14 August 2003) Abstract—Data on insects as food in sub-Saharan Africa were collected by reviewing the literature and conducting interviews in a number of African countries. A list of about 250 edible insect species from Africa was compiled. Of these, 78 percent are Lepidoptera (30%), Orthoptera (29%) and Coleoptera (19%), and 22 percent Isoptera, Homoptera, Hymenoptera, Heteroptera, Diptera and Odonota. Insects are rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, and a good source of iron and B-vitamins. Examples of insects being toxic are given, but often traditional methods are used to remove the poison. Whether or not insects are eaten depends not only on taste and nutritional value, but also on customs, ethnic preferences or prohibitions. The harvesting of insects is often done by women. The way of collecting depends on insects’ behaviour. For example, inactivity at low temperatures enables easy catching of locusts and grasshoppers in the morning. Night flyers (termites, some grasshoppers) can be lured into traps by light and some insects like palm weevils can be attracted to artificially created breeding sites. Some species (crickets, cicadas) can be located by the sound they make. A number of tools are used to facilitate capturing such as glue, sticks, nets and baskets.
