    SYSTEMATICS OF THE MEGADIVERSE SUPERFAMILY GELECHIOIDEA (INSECTA: LEPIDOPTEA) DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sibyl Rae Bucheli, M.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. John W. Wenzel, Advisor Dr. Daniel Herms Dr. Hans Klompen _________________________________ Dr. Steven C. Passoa Advisor Graduate Program in Entomology ABSTRACT The phylogenetics, systematics, taxonomy, and biology of Gelechioidea (Insecta: Lepidoptera) are investigated. This superfamily is probably the second largest in all of Lepidoptera, and it remains one of the least well known. Taxonomy of Gelechioidea has been unstable historically, and definitions vary at the family and subfamily levels. In Chapters Two and Three, I review the taxonomy of Gelechioidea and characters that have been important, with attention to what characters or terms were used by different authors. I revise the coding of characters that are already in the literature, and provide new data as well. Chapter Four provides the first phylogenetic analysis of Gelechioidea to include molecular data. I combine novel DNA sequence data from Cytochrome oxidase I and II with morphological matrices for exemplar species. The results challenge current concepts of Gelechioidea, suggesting that traditional morphological characters that have united taxa may not be homologous structures and are in need of further investigation. Resolution of this problem will require more detailed analysis and more thorough characterization of certain lineages. To begin this task, I conduct in Chapter Five an in- depth study of morphological evolution, host-plant selection, and geographical distribution of a medium-sized genus Depressaria Haworth (Depressariinae), larvae of ii which generally feed on plants in the families Asteraceae and Apiaceae.

  • Introduction Botany Has Become Fashionable
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Hertfordshire Research Archive Introduction Botany has become fashionable; in time it may become useful, if it be not so already.1 The stereotype of the forward, sexually precocious, female botanist made its first appearance in literature in the turbulent revolutionary climate of the 1790s, though women had, in fact, been avidly botanising earlier in the century. The emergence of this figure illustrates both the contemporary appeal, particularly to women, of the Linnaean Sexual System of botanical classification, and the anxieties surrounding female modesty it provoked. Thus, in the reactionary poem, The Unsex’d Females (1798), the Reverend Richard Polwhele warned that botanising girls, in scrutinising the sexual parts of the flower, were indulging in acts of wanton titillation. In the same year James Plumptre conceived a comic opera entitled The Lakers in which the heroine is a female botanist, ‗Miss Beccabunga Veronica of Diandria Hall‘.2 Veronica‘s precocious search for botanical specimens parallels her immodest search for a husband. With only Erasmus Darwin‘s provocative account of The Loves of the Plants (1789) to guide her, ‗she has been studying the system of plants, till she now wishes to know the system of man‘ (I.1. 2). Botany, we are reminded in the preface, ‗is by no means a proper amusement for the more polished sex‘ (xii). The botanising activities of Veronica‘s maid, Anna, suggest that the fashion for women‘s botany has, deplorably, even reached the servant classes. Anna has been learning something of Linnaean classification and she later confides to the aptly named Billy Sample that ‗all ladies who know anything study botamy [sic] now‘ (III.

  • 10 Seed Release and Dispersal Mechanisms
    10 Seed Release and Dispersal Mechanisms For seedling recruitment to occur seeds need to be dispersed into an environment that promotes germination and seedling survival. Dispersal consists of two phases. Primary dispersal is defined as the initial transport of seeds or seed-bearing fruits (collectively seeds and fruits are called diaspores) to the ground or water body, or for aerial parasites, a host branch. Secondary dispersal relates to any subsequent movement to the seed’s final resting place. Primary dispersal may be active (e.g. seeds released explosively from the fruit, e.g. dehiscence (opening) of Hardenbergia pods), passive (e.g. seeds fall out when the capsules of Eucalyptus open), or require a vector to aid in seed removal (e.g. wind uplift of winged seeds of Hakea or winged fruits of Nuytsia; Amyema berries consumed by mistletoe birds). Secondary dispersal involves either a biotic (e.g. ants) or environmental (e.g. wind, water) vector, and it is usually a different mechanism than that involved in primary dispersal. While primary dispersal is usually only for a few metres, secondary dispersal may cover several kilometres, and sometimes thousands for tiny seeds. This chapter covers some of the dispersal mechanisms exhibited by the SouthWest flora following their release. Terminology used to describe seed dispersal mechanisms is provided in Table 10.1. Table 10.1: Seed dispersal terminology. Term Definition Anemochory Wind dispersed Chamaechory Dispersal by rolling along the ground (wind assisted) Zoochory Animal dispersed (general) Myrmecochory Ant dispersed Ornithochory Bird dispersed Mammalochory Mammal dispersed Hydrochory Water dispersed Barochory Unassisted (gravity causes seeds to drop to the ground) Autochory Dispersal assisted by the actions of the parent plant (e.g.

  • Xylorictid Wood Moths Common Name Xylorictid Wood Moth the Majority of the 275 Named Australian Species from More Than 52 Genera Genus Within This Family Are Borers
    Xylorictid Wood Moths Common Name Xylorictid Wood Moth The majority of the 275 named Australian species from more than 52 genera Genus within this family are borers. Two of the larger Genus are Xylorycta and Cryptophasa (meaning eating in private), Family Xyorictidae Order Lepidoptera Life cycle As with all Lepidoptera this family undergoes complete metamorphosis Damage is done by the larvae that feeds at night along the margins of the wound and retreats during the day to a frass covered “tunnel”. Host Most moths in this family are oligophagous. There is a large number of species that attack an even larger number of species of trees including, amongst others, Prunus spp., Acer palmatum, Ceratapetulum spp., Hakea spp., Acacia spp. Most species bore a tunnel for habitat and feed on the phloem surrounding the tunnel. Other species bore only in the outer bark of the tree. Identifying Most commonly feeding at branch junctions the caterpillar makes a covering features by webbing wood borings and frass together. The caterpillars have legs and prolegs, which easily distinguishes them from other xylophagous larvae. The colour of the larva varies considerably but generally not decorative. Symptoms Branches that die off usually at a branch junction as the result of ringbarking of the branch caused by the feeding habits of the larvae Signs Webbed frass usually located at branch junctions particularly at included junctions or at branch junctions on trees that are stressed. Large sections of phloem missing with the limb often becoming completely girdled over time. Chemical The easiest treatment involves brushing off or otherwise removing the control webbed frass and spraying the area of the damage and the surrounding 25 – 50 mm with a garden surface spray (I have use Mortein outdoor barrier spray with good results).

This conference was the first in recent memory to include all of the major tropical flowers produced and exported on a commercial basis in Hawaii: anthuriums, orchids, protea, and tropicals such as gingers and heliconias. Although each of these major floral groups has its own unique production problems, they face common marketing problems. Thus, marketing of Hawaii flowers was chosen as the unifying focus of the conference. The conference planners and participants believe that through improved and innovative marketing the industry will be able to realize the conference theme, "Growing into the 90's." In addition to marketing issues such as transportation, handling, and market strategies and trends, production problems were also addressed. Concurrent sessions were held so that each floral group could concentrate on the production problems mostrelevant to them.
