  • Nitrogen Content in Riparian Arthropods Is Most Dependent on Allometry and Order
    Wiesenborn: Nitrogen Contents in Riparian Arthropods 71 NITROGEN CONTENT IN RIPARIAN ARTHROPODS IS MOST DEPENDENT ON ALLOMETRY AND ORDER WILLIAM D. WIESENBORN U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Regional Office, P.O. Box 61470, Boulder City, NV 89006 ABSTRACT I investigated the contributions of body mass, order, family, and trophic level to nitrogen (N) content in riparian spiders and insects collected near the Colorado River in western Arizona. Most variation (97.2%) in N mass among arthropods was associated with the allometric effects of body mass. Nitrogen mass increased exponentially as body dry-mass increased. Significant variation (20.7%) in N mass adjusted for body mass was explained by arthropod order. Ad- justed N mass was highest in Orthoptera, Hymenoptera, Araneae, and Odonata and lowest in Coleoptera. Classifying arthropods by family compared with order did not explain signifi- cantly more variation (22.1%) in N content. Herbivore, predator, and detritivore trophic-levels across orders explained little variation (4.3%) in N mass adjusted for body mass. Within or- ders, N content differed only among trophic levels of Diptera. Adjusted N mass was highest in predaceous flies, intermediate in detritivorous flies, and lowest in phytophagous flies. Nitro- gen content in riparian spiders and insects is most dependent on allometry and order and least dependent on trophic level. I suggest the effects of allometry and order are due to exoskeleton thickness and composition. Foraging by vertebrate predators, such as insectivorous birds, may be affected by variation in N content among riparian arthropods. Key Words: nutrients, spiders, insects, trophic level, exoskeleton, cuticle RESUMEN Se investiguo las contribuciones de la masa de cuerpo, orden, familia y el nivel trófico al con- tenido de nitógeno (N) en arañas e insectos riparianos (que viven en la orilla del rio u otro cuerpo de agua) recolectadaos cerca del Rio Colorado en el oeste del estado de Arizona.

St::ttns of 15 Antioch Insects Listed in Notice of 75 Review by the U.S. Fish "l.nd Wildlife Service INTRODUCTION The sand dune formation east of Antioch, Contra Costa County, California, comprised the largest riverine dune system in California. Biogeographically, this formation was unique because it supported a northern extension of plants and animals of desert, rather than coastal, affinities. Geologists believe that the dunes were relicts of the most recent glaciation of the Sierra Nevada, probably originating 10,000 to 25,000 years ago, with the sand derived from the supratidal floodplain of the combined Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers. The ice age climate in the area is thought to have been cold but arid. Presumably summertime winds sweeping through the Carquinez Strait across the glacial-age floodplains would have picked up the fine-grained sand and redeposited it to the east and southeast, thus creating the dune fields of eastern Contra Costa County.

  • Pick Your Poison: Molecular Evolution of Venom Proteins in Asilidae (Insecta: Diptera)
    toxins Article Pick Your Poison: Molecular Evolution of Venom Proteins in Asilidae (Insecta: Diptera) Chris M. Cohen * , T. Jeffrey Cole and Michael S. Brewer * Howell Science Complex, East Carolina University, 1000 E 5th St., Greenville, NC 27858, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (C.M.C.); [email protected] (M.S.B.) Received: 5 November 2020; Accepted: 20 November 2020; Published: 24 November 2020 Abstract: Robber flies are an understudied family of venomous, predatory Diptera. With the recent characterization of venom from three asilid species, it is possible, for the first time, to study the molecular evolution of venom genes in this unique lineage. To accomplish this, a novel whole-body transcriptome of Eudioctria media was combined with 10 other publicly available asiloid thoracic or salivary gland transcriptomes to identify putative venom gene families and assess evidence of pervasive positive selection. A total of 348 gene families of sufficient size were analyzed, and 33 of these were predicted to contain venom genes. We recovered 151 families containing homologs to previously described venom proteins, and 40 of these were uniquely gained in Asilidae. Our gene family clustering suggests that many asilidin venom gene families are not natural groupings, as delimited by previous authors, but instead form multiple discrete gene families. Additionally, robber fly venoms have relatively few sites under positive selection, consistent with the hypothesis that the venoms of older lineages are dominated by negative selection acting to maintain toxic function. Keywords: Asilidae; transcriptome; positive selection Key Contribution: Asilidae venoms have relatively few sites under positive selection, consistent with the hypothesis that the venoms of older lineages are dominated by negative selection acting to maintain toxic function.

  • 117Th Annual Meeting of the Texas Academy of Science
    117th Annual Meeting of the Texas Academy of Science March 7-8, 2014 Texas A&M University at Galveston Galveston, Texas ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS FROM THE PROGRAM CHAIR I would like to thank everyone for coming to this year’s Texas Academy of Science meeting in Galveston Texas this 2014. This is a year of many firsts for our academy, including our first two day meeting, a new abstract submission system for meeting management, and other technological advances to try to move us forward as a scientific society in the current decade. This meeting would not be possible without the work of many people, as a great many thanks are needed in this regard. First of all, I would like to thank our new Finance and Development Committee and their hard work to acquire sponsored funding for this meeting. Thanks to Romi Burks and Jason Locklin for helping to get our corporate sponsors listed in the following page. This funding drive has enabled us to continue to provide the level of student funding and awards we have come to expect from the academy, and I hope this trend can not only continue, but expand in the future. Although I was technically the Program Chair for this meeting, I could not have done it without the amazing assistance from our Coordinator of Information and Technology, Chris Vitek. He has done so much in regards to working with the new software for abstract submission, review, and program development, that he has in reality been the co-Chair for this meeting. Between working on the abstract system, maintaining the web page, and handling a landslide of correspondence, I and future Program Chairs are deeply in his debt.

REITZEL THIELES BOGTRYKKERI 1883 Det mathem atisk-naturvidenskabelige Fakultet har kjendt denne Afhandling værdig til at forsvares offentlig for den philosophiske Doktorgrad. Kjøbenhavn d. 5te Oktober 1883. Fr. Johnstrup d. A. Dekanus. I. (Tabanidæ, Bombylidæ, Asilidæ, Thereva, Mydas, Apiocera). Da den foreliggende Afhandlings Forfatter i December 1875 begyndte at arbeide paa Zoologisk Museums tredie Afde- ling, blev det af Bestyreren, Hr. Professor Schiødte, over- draget mig at opstille Størstedelen af den danske Dipter- samling, og efter Fuldendelsen heraf gjennemarbeidede og opstillede jeg hele Generalsamlingen af den samme Insekt- orden. Derved blev jeg bekjendt med Dyreformerne samt med det Standpunkt, paa hvilket Systematiken og den ana- tomiske Kundskab stod; jeg begyndte ogsaa dengang at indsamle Diptera i Spiritus samt at see lidt paa deres Mund- dele , og kom snart paa det Rene med, at her var endnu Meget at gjøre. Det nærmere Studium af Munden blev jeg imidlertid, paa Grund af Magisterconferents og større Ar- beider til »Zoologia Danica c , nødt til at opsætte nogle Aar, men jeg vedblev at indsamle Spiritusmateriale, for senere at optage Undersøgelserne. Hr. Dr. Meinert havde, hvad jeg bragte i Erfaring, i denne Mellemtid paabegyndt en større Afhandling over det samme Emne, og jeg var da nødt til at vente indtil denne var udkommen, hvilket fandt Sted i Juli 1881.
