Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Instituto de Biologia, CCS, Depto. de Zoologia, Lab. Entomologia. 2.Universidade Federal do Pará. EntomoBrasilis 10 (1): 44-50 (2017) Abstract. The brazilian savannah, called Cerrado, has the richest flora among the world’s savannahs, and the State of Goiás comprises part of this biome. We present here a checklist for Goiás based on literature and specimens collected, with 18 species of Notonectidae, including new distribution records of Martarega membranacea White, 1879, and first records of Buenoa konta Nieser & Pelli, 1994; Buenoa pseudomutabilis Barbosa, Ribeiro & Nessimian, 2010; Buenoa tarsalis Truxal, 1953; Martarega bentoi Truxal, 1949 and Martarega brasiliensis Truxal, 1949 in the State. This checklist highlights a gap in the knowledge of Notonectidae and a great necessity of works with diversity of backswimmers in Goiás.

Experiments were carried on to observe its behavior, life cycle, biometrical or physiological changes, immunity relationships, etc., in the latter host.

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).

INTRODUCTION Ce document présente une liste des punaises trouvées dans le territoire du Québec et ses régions adjacentes. Elle résulte d’une revue de la littérature entomologique, d’un inventaire de collections appartenant à des organismes publics et à des entomologistes et d’une recherche sur internet. Provancher fut le premier à publier, de 1885 à 1890, un ouvrage d’identification des punaises pour le Canada, mais il donne très peu d’information sur la répartition des espèces. Uhler (1917) cite 163 espèces pour la province et 286 autres dans les régions adjacentes. Fournier (1950) mentionne que Moore (1950) catalogua 560 espèces et variétées. Hutchinson (1979), en se basant seulement sur la littérature entomologique, produisit une liste préliminaire de 101 punaises aquatiques et subaquatiques du Québec, mais cette liste comporte de nombreuses erreurs. Larochelle (1984) publia un important ouvrage d’identification sur les punaises terrestres du Québec, rapportant 488 espèces; en outre, il annexe une liste de 283 espèces et sous-espèces pouvant se rencontrer dans la province.

BUENO Thesis Approved: ~ · ~ · ~ · Dea'tiOf tne Graduate College PREFACE Little is known about the dynamic processes of osmoregulation in adult aquatic insects whose sclerotized body wall and respiratory Plastrons present barriers to the movements of fluids and solutes between the insect and its environment. In addition, the growing problem of saline pollution present a potential hazard to these impor­ tant aquatic fauna. There is much concern over improving the quality of our freshwater, and as a result, federal agencies have established criteria necessary to measure and evaluate different environmental pollutants so that knowledgeable economic tolerant limits can be established. These standards are being improved but attempts to develop them further, especially as they relate to physicochemical criteria, without knowledge of the effects on the basic functions of life therein could present problems in the future. The present research utilized two adult aquatic hemipterans, Corisella edulis and Buenoa margaritacea, to investigate basic func­ tional aspects associated with the stress stimuli presented to the animals by different concentrations of sodium chloride, a common pollutant of freshwater in Oklahoma. Concentrations of these ions in the haemolymph of both species were shown to be regulated over the full range of experimental salinities (0 to 0.9% NaCl) while above this level, mortality quickly ensued.

KONDRATIEFF AND RICHARD S. DURFEE ABSTRACT: The Great Plains of Colorado occupies over two-fifths of the state, yet very little is known about the aquatic insects of this area. This paper reports on the aquatic insects found in temporary and permanent pools of Big Sandy Creek within the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site, on the Great Plains of Colorado.
