Four species, Dixella dyari Garret, 1924 (Dixidae), Threticus tridactilis (Kincaid, 1899), Panimerus albifacies (Tonnoir, 1919) and P. przhiboroi Wagner, 2005 (Psychodidae) are reported for the first time from Finland. Keywords Finland, Diptera, species list, biodiversity, faunistics Introduction Psychodidae or moth flies are an intermediately diverse family of nematocerous flies, comprising over 3000 species world-wide (Pape et al. 2011). Its taxonomy is still very unstable, and multiple conflicting classifications exist (Duckhouse 1987, Vaillant 1990, Ježek and van Harten 2005). -

SGMA seeks to achieve sustainability, which is defined as the absence of several undesirable results, including “depletions of interconnected surface water that have significant and unreasonable adverse impacts on beneficial users of surface water” (Water Code §10721). The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a science-based, nonprofit organization with a mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Like humans, plants and animals often rely on groundwater for survival, which is why TNC helped develop, and is now helping to implement, SGMA. Earlier this year, we launched the Groundwater Resource Hub, which is an online resource intended to help make it easier and cheaper to address environmental requirements under SGMA. As a first step in addressing when depletions might have an adverse impact, The Nature Conservancy recommends identifying the beneficial users of surface water, which include environmental users. This is a critical step, as it is impossible to define “significant and unreasonable adverse impacts” without knowing what is being impacted. To make this easy, we are providing this letter and the accompanying documents as the best available science on the freshwater species within the boundary of your groundwater sustainability agency (GSA). -
Key to the Larval Stages of Aquatic True Flies (Diptera), Based on the Operational Taxa List for Running Waters in Germany
Ann. Limnol. - Int. J. Lim. 2007, 43 (1), 61-74 Key to the larval stages of aquatic true flies (Diptera), based on the operational taxa list for running waters in Germany A. Sundermann1*, S. Lohse1, L.A. Beck2, P. Haase1 1 Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum, Department of Limnology and Conservation, Clamecystrasse 12, D-63571 Gelnhausen, Germany 2 Philipps-University Marburg, Department of Biology, Zoology, Marburg, Germany The aquatic larvae of the Diptera are often the most abundant and most diverse group of the benthic macroinvertebrate fauna. They are able to survive in and colonise practically all freshwater habitats, and some species can tolerate harsh environmental conditions. They are therefore both a qualitatively and quantitatively important group of biological indicators for assessing fresh- water systems. On the other hand their determination at the species level is very difficult. This is in part due to a lack of taxo- nomic work in the group, but also the absence of comprehensive determination keys, that meet the needs of water managers. As a result, the aquatic larvae of the Diptera often play a subordinate role in water management. In light of the EU Water Framework Directive the present work is a first step in improving the integration of the important group of the Diptera in water management practice: a comprehensive determination key, which is geared at water managers. The key includes 60 taxa, largely at the family and genus level. In contrast to already existing keys the present work tries to differentiate the taxa on the basis of simple and user-friendly characters. -
Mitigating Human-Wildlife Conflicts Through Adaptive Management
Mitigating Human-Wildlife Conflicts through Adaptive Management Final Report Glynnis A.

Hood, Principal Investigator In collaboration with Research Associates: Kalene Gould, Melissa Tollitt, and Allison Rodvang Department of Science, Augustana Campus University of Alberta, Camrose, Alberta, T4V 2R3 Prepared for Beaver County June 20, 2016 ©2016, Hood, University of Alberta EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This research assessed human-wildlife interactions as they relate to the efficacy of current management and policy approaches to common human-wildlife conflicts within natural and developed sites in Beaver County, Alberta. Over the course of four months (May to August 2015), we collected data relevant to several management considerations regarding human-wildlife interactions, including: polices/legislation for mitigating human-wildlife conflicts, flooding by beavers, livestock predation by coyotes, ground squirrel burrowing, economic costs and benefits, and biodiversity measures relative to adaptive management. We also installed four pond levellers to counter flooding by beavers on private lands. Our analysis of these data continued throughout the fall and winter, and are presented in this report. As permitted by the Agricultural Pests Act, Beaver County is responsible for facilitating the management of landowner conflicts with Richardson’s ground squirrels, coyotes, stripped skunks, and North America beavers. Other species, such as white-tailed deer, mule deer and elk, are also of concern despite their direct management by the province of Alberta. -
F. Christian Thompson Neal L. Evenhuis and Curtis W. Sabrosky Bibliography of the Family-Group Names of Diptera
F. Christian Thompson Neal L. Evenhuis and Curtis W. Sabrosky Bibliography of the Family-Group Names of Diptera Bibliography Thompson, F. C, Evenhuis, N. L. & Sabrosky, C. W. The following bibliography gives full references to 2,982 works cited in the catalog as well as additional ones cited within the bibliography. A concerted effort was made to examine as many of the cited references as possible in order to ensure accurate citation of authorship, date, title, and pagination. References are listed alphabetically by author and chronologically for multiple articles with the same authorship. In cases where more than one article was published by an author(s) in a particular year, a suffix letter follows the year (letters are listed alphabetically according to publication chronology). Authors' names: Names of authors are cited in the bibliography the same as they are in the text for proper association of literature citations with entries in the catalog. Because of the differing treatments of names, especially those containing articles such as "de," "del," "van," "Le," etc., these names are cross-indexed in the bibliography under the various ways in which they may be treated elsewhere. For Russian and other names in Cyrillic and other non-Latin character sets, we follow the spelling used by the authors themselves. Dates of publication: Dating of these works was obtained through various methods in order to obtain as accurate a date of publication as possible for purposes of priority in nomenclature. Dates found in the original works or by outside evidence are placed in brackets after the literature citation. -

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A world catalog of extant and fossil Chaoboridae provides full type information, distribution of each species, references to keys, references to latest descriptions of each species, and summaries of bionomic information. There are 51 extant species in six genera and 41 fossil species (2 unplaced) in 19 genera, two of which are extant. Chaoborus lanei (Belkin, Heinemann & Page) is a new synonym of C. braziliensis (Theobald) and C. annulatus Cook is a new synonym of C. festivus Dyar & Shannon. Key words: Phantom midges, Chaoborus, Zoogeography Introduction Borkent (1993) provided the last world catalog of extant and fossil Chaoboridae and Evenhuis (1994) catalogued all fossil species (providing further detailed information). Since then there have been significant changes, particular regarding the fossil record of this group, warranting the new catalog published here. Each species is provided with its full citation, type locality, subsequent descriptions, and all synonyms. When "Syntypes?" is given, it is because it is uncertain whether there was more than one specimen examined by the describing author. Type depositories are noted. -
Burmese Amber Taxa
Burmese (Myanmar) amber taxa, on-line checklist v.2018.1 Andrew J. Ross 15/05/2018 Principal Curator of Palaeobiology Department of Natural Sciences National Museums Scotland Chambers St. Edinburgh EH1 1JF E-mail: [email protected] http://www.nms.ac.uk/collections-research/collections-departments/natural-sciences/palaeobiology/dr- andrew-ross/ This taxonomic list is based on Ross et al (2010) plus non-arthropod taxa and published papers up to the end of April 2018. It does not contain unpublished records or records from papers in press (including on- line proofs) or unsubstantiated on-line records. Often the final versions of papers were published on-line the year before they appeared in print, so the on-line published year is accepted and referred to accordingly. Note, the authorship of species does not necessarily correspond to the full authorship of papers where they were described. The latest high level classification is used where possible though in some cases conflicts were encountered, usually due to cladistic studies, so in these cases an older classification was adopted for convenience. The classification for Hexapoda follows Nicholson et al. (2015), plus subsequent papers. † denotes extinct orders and families. New additions or taxonomic changes to the previous list (v.2017.4) are marked in blue, corrections are marked in red. The list comprises 37 classes (or similar rank), 99 orders (or similar rank), 510 families, 713 genera and 916 species. This includes 8 classes, 64 orders, 467 families, 656 genera and 849 species of arthropods. 1 Some previously recorded families have since been synonymised or relegated to subfamily level- these are included in parentheses in the main list below. -
Some Observations of Oogenesis in Eucorethra Underwoodi Underwood (Diptera: Chaoboridae)
Some observations of oogenesis in Eucorethra underwoodi Underwood (Diptera: Chaoboridae) Stephen M Smith Department of Biology, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON Canada N2L 3G1 [email protected] [email protected] FigShare paper, 05 August 2013 Abstract Females of Eucorethra underwoodi Underwood (Diptera: Chaoboridae) are autogenous and exhibit marked ovarian precocity, deposition of yolk in the terminal ovarian follicles beginning during the pupal stage. The picture of ovarian staging in the young female is complex — a mix of maturing follicles, re- gressing follicles, and apparently healthy, partially developed follicles, perhaps in a “holding pattern”, suggesting that asynchronous first-cycle oogenesis may be the norm in this species. In the ovarioles of gravid females, penultimate follicles are extensively yolked and the fatbody remains ample, suggesting the possibility of more than a single cycle of autogenous oogenesis. ———————————————— Introduction The monospecific genus Eucorethra is the earliest lineage of the Chaoboridae (Borkent 2012); the genus contains the single Nearctic species, E. underwoodi Underwood. The larvae inhabit ground pools, (often vernal pools) in the taiga and coniferous-forest regions of much of North America (Lake 1960; Borkent 1981; Rossignol 1978). Unlike other members of the family, the larvae of E. underwoodi prey on insects that fall onto the surface of the pool, as well as prey such as mosquito larvae in the water (Maire et al. 1978; Rossignol 1978; Borkent 2012). The species has received little scientific study; the evolutionary relationships are well understood (Ogawa 2007; Borkent 2012) and there is some information about the behavior and ecology of the larvae (Maire et al. 1978; Rossignol 1978) but almost nothing is known of the biology of the adults.
