A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Biological Sciences University of Alaska Fairbanks August 2017 APPROVED: Pat Doak, Committee Chair Greg Breed, Committee Member Colleen Handel, Committee Member Christa Mulder, Committee Member Kris Hundertmark, Chair Department o f Biology and Wildlife Paul Layer, Dean College o f Natural Science and Mathematics Michael Castellini, Dean of the Graduate School ABSTRACT Across the Arctic, taller woody shrubs, particularly willow (Salix spp.), birch (Betula spp.), and alder (Alnus spp.), have been expanding rapidly onto tundra. Changes in vegetation structure can alter the physical habitat structure, thermal environment, and food available to arthropods, which play an important role in the structure and functioning of Arctic ecosystems. Not only do they provide key ecosystem services such as pollination and nutrient cycling, they are an essential food source for migratory birds. In this study I examined the relationships between the abundance, diversity, and community composition of arthropods and the height and cover of several shrub species across a tundra-shrub gradient in northwestern Alaska. To characterize nestling diet of common passerines that occupy this gradient, I used next-generation sequencing of fecal matter. Willow cover was strongly and consistently associated with abundance and biomass of arthropods and significant shifts in arthropod community composition and diversity.

    Elytra Reduction May Affect the Evolution of Beetle Hind Wings

    Zoomorphology https://doi.org/10.1007/s00435-017-0388-1 ORIGINAL PAPER Elytra reduction may affect the evolution of beetle hind wings Jakub Goczał1 · Robert Rossa1 · Adam Tofilski2 Received: 21 July 2017 / Revised: 31 October 2017 / Accepted: 14 November 2017 © The Author(s) 2017. This article is an open access publication Abstract Beetles are one of the largest and most diverse groups of animals in the world. Conversion of forewings into hardened shields is perceived as a key adaptation that has greatly supported the evolutionary success of this taxa. Beetle elytra play an essential role: they minimize the influence of unfavorable external factors and protect insects against predators. Therefore, it is particularly interesting why some beetles have reduced their shields. This rare phenomenon is called brachelytry and its evolution and implications remain largely unexplored. In this paper, we focused on rare group of brachelytrous beetles with exposed hind wings. We have investigated whether the elytra loss in different beetle taxa is accompanied with the hind wing shape modification, and whether these changes are similar among unrelated beetle taxa. We found that hind wings shape differ markedly between related brachelytrous and macroelytrous beetles. Moreover, we revealed that modifications of hind wings have followed similar patterns and resulted in homoplasy in this trait among some unrelated groups of wing-exposed brachelytrous beetles. Our results suggest that elytra reduction may affect the evolution of beetle hind wings.

Kean Secretary Janet A. Lydon Treasurer Edgar A. Cohen, Jr. Historian (vacant) Journal Editor Eugene J. Scarpulla E-newsletter Editors Aditi Dubey The Maryland Entomological Society (MES) was founded in November 1971, to promote the science of entomology in all its sub-disciplines; to provide a common meeting venue for professional and amateur entomologists residing in Maryland, the District of Columbia, and nearby areas; to issue a periodical and other publications dealing with entomology; and to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information through its meetings and publications. The MES was incorporated in April 1982 and is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, scientific organization. The MES logo features an illustration of Euphydryas phaëton (Drury) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae), the Baltimore Checkerspot, with its generic name above and its specific epithet below (both in capital letters), all on a pale green field; all these are within a yellow ring double-bordered by red, bearing the message “● Maryland Entomological Society ● 1971 ●”. All of this is positioned above the Shield of the State of Maryland. In 1973, the Baltimore Checkerspot was named the official insect of the State of Maryland through the efforts of many MES members. Membership in the MES is open to all persons interested in the study of entomology. All members receive the annual journal, The Maryland Entomologist, and the monthly e-newsletter, Phaëton.

    The Beetle Fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and Distribution

    INSECTA MUNDI, Vol. 20, No. 3-4, September-December, 2006 165 The beetle fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and distribution Stewart B. Peck Department of Biology, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6, Canada stewart_peck@carleton. ca Abstract. The beetle fauna of the island of Dominica is summarized. It is presently known to contain 269 genera, and 361 species (in 42 families), of which 347 are named at a species level. Of these, 62 species are endemic to the island. The other naturally occurring species number 262, and another 23 species are of such wide distribution that they have probably been accidentally introduced and distributed, at least in part, by human activities. Undoubtedly, the actual numbers of species on Dominica are many times higher than now reported. This highlights the poor level of knowledge of the beetles of Dominica and the Lesser Antilles in general. Of the species known to occur elsewhere, the largest numbers are shared with neighboring Guadeloupe (201), and then with South America (126), Puerto Rico (113), Cuba (107), and Mexico-Central America (108). The Antillean island chain probably represents the main avenue of natural overwater dispersal via intermediate stepping-stone islands. The distributional patterns of the species shared with Dominica and elsewhere in the Caribbean suggest stages in a dynamic taxon cycle of species origin, range expansion, distribution contraction, and re-speciation.

Check list of species distributed in Azerbaijan is presented basing on own materials and literature data. Materials were collected in the Greater Casucasus, the Kur River lowland, Lankaran and Middle Araz (Nakhchivan) natural regions and was recorded 1 species from Lycidae, 2 species from Lampyridae, 4 species from Cantharidae and 4 species from Oedemeridae families. From them Oedemera virescens (Linnaeus, 1767), Cantharis rufa Linnaeus, 1758, Cantharis melaspis Chevrolat, 1854, Cantharis melaspoides Wittmer, 1971 and Metacantharis clypeata Illiger, 1798 are new to Azerbaijan fauna.

Box 37012, MRC 165, Washington, DC 20013-7012 3Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: A 13-year field survey, and a review of collections maintained at the Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History, rendered a total of 37 cantharid species in four subfamilies, and one species of omethid beetle, from a national park site (George Washington Memorial Parkway) in Virginia. Twenty species are reported for the first time from the Commonwealth. Malaise traps proved to be the most successful capture methods of the five methods employed during the survey. Periods of adult activity, based on dates of capture, are given for each species. Relative abundance is noted for each species based on the number of captures. Notes on morphological characteristics and habitats are given for some species. A new form of Dichelotarsus vernalis (Green) is described along with the female of Polemius limbatus LeConte. An eastward range extension of 644 km (400 mi) is documented for Trypherus pauperculus Fender. Images of the dorsal habitus or male genitalia are provided for nine species. Keywords: Cantharidae, Coleoptera, Dichelotarsus vernalis, false soldier beetles, national park, new state records, Omethidae, Polemius limbatus, soldier beetles, Trypherus pauperculus, Virginia INTRODUCTION Cantharidae, the Soldier Beetles The life history and ecology of most species of Cantharidae (Coleoptera: Polyphaga) are poorly known and the larvae of most genera are undescribed (Pelletier and Hébert 2014).

    Notes on Soldier Beetles (Coleoptera: Cantharidae) of Montane Forest in Southern Part of the Bohemian Forest, Czech Republic

    Silva Gabreta vol. 16 (1) p. 27–31 Vimperk, 2010 Notes on soldier beetles (Coleoptera: Cantharidae) of montane forest in southern part of the Bohemian Forest, Czech Republic Libor Dvořák Municipal Museum Mariánské Lázně, Goethovo náměstí 11, CZ-35301 Mariánské Lázně, Czech Republic [email protected] Abstract The data on 425 specimens of 11 species of soldier beetles (Coleoptera: Cantharidae) from two montane forest stands of the Bohemian Forest are presented. The species spectrum reflects the stands and the altitu- des about 1200 m a.s.l.; several montane species were found. The most important are the records of Podis- tra prolixa (Märkel, 1851) and Malthodes alpicola Kiesenwetter, 1852. The distribution of both species is discussed. Key words: Trojmezná, Smrčina, Šumava, Podistra prolixa, Malthodes alpicola, distribution INTRODUCTION No paper has focused on soldier beetles fauna of any locality of the Bohemian Forest so far. A certain material from this mountain range is deposited in the collection of the National Museum in Prague and in several private collections, yet these data have not been evaluated. Only several single records were published (e.g., ŠVIHLA 1978). This paper brings the first summarised data from the two localities of the Bohemian Forest. MATERIAL AND METHODS All the material was collected by Roman Modlinger using a Malaise trap situated inside the forest. Beetles were identified by the author (Cantharinae) using DAHLGREN (1979) and by Vladimír Švihla (Malthininae), nomenclature follows KAZANTSEV & BRANCUCCI (2007). Localities under study The survey was carried out on two mounts at about 1200 m a.s.l. The exact data are listed as follows: mount name, grid code of the faunistic square (e.g., PRUNER & MÍKA 1996), biotope, year of survey, and altitude.
