Bruce Schaalje Department of Biology Brigham Young University Copyright © 2018 Ashlee Nichole Momcilovich All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Evolutionary Significance of Body Size in Burying Beetles Ashlee Nichole Momcilovich Department of Biology, BYU Doctor of Philosophy Body size is one of the most commonly studied traits of an organism, which is largely due to its direct correlation with fitness, life history strategy, and physiology of the organism. Patterns of body size distribution are also often studied. The distribution of body size within species is looked at for suggestions of differential mating strategies or niche variation among ontogenetic development. Patterns are also examined among species to determine the effects of competition, environmental factors, and phylogenetic inertia.

C. BROWN1 and David V. BERESFORD2 1Environmental and Life Sciences, Trent University, 2140 East Bank Drive, Peterborough, Ontario, K9J 7B8, Canada. Email: [email protected] 2Department of Biology, Trent University, 2140 East Bank Drive, Peterborough, Ontario, K9J 7B8, Canada. Email: [email protected] Abstract Nicrophorus pustulatus was recently identified as a parasitoid of eggs of gray ratsnake (Pantherophis spiloides), northern ringneck snake (Diadophis punctatus) and eastern fox snake (Elaphe gloydi). We sampled Nicrophorus spp. near gray ratsnake hibernacula in the Frontenac Axis region, Ontario, using carrion-baited aerial traps set 6 m aboveground. We caught 6 species: N. tomentosus (500), N. sayi (416), N. orbicollis (202), N. pustulatus (174), N. defodiens (6), and N. vespilloides (2). The catches of N. pustulatus were highest in traps set near hibernacula (linear regression, R2 = 0.78, P< 0.003); this relationship was not found with the other species. The greater abundance of N. pustulatus near hibernacula may affect nest success of gray ratsnakes. Key Words: Burying Beetle, Gray Ratsnake, Hibernaculum, Nicrophorus pustulatus, Species at Risk.

We expected that beetle Thousand Islands National Park is composed of traps placed near known gray ratsnake hibernacula would fragmented mainland and island properties stretching along catch more N.

  • The Silphidae (Coleoptera) of the Maritime Provinces of Canada Christopher G
    J. Acad. Entomol. Soc. 7: 83-101 (2011) The Silphidae (Coleoptera) of the Maritime Provinces of Canada Christopher G. Majka ABSTRACT The carrion beetle (Silphidae) fauna of the Maritime Provinces of Canada is surveyed. Eleven species are found in the region, and they are all present in all three provinces and on Cape Breton Island. As a result of this survey, five new provincial records are reported; Necrophila americana, Thanatophilus lapponicus, Nicrophorus pustulatus, and Nicrophorus sayi are newly recorded in Prince Edward Island, and Nicrophorus investigator is newly recorded in New Brunswick. Additionally, N. sayi is newly recorded from the Îles de la Madeleine, Nicrophorus orbicollis is newly recorded from Cape Breton Island, and N. investigator is newly recorded from the mainland of Nova Scotia. Historical reports of one species, the endangered Nicrophorus americanus, are reviewed with the conclusion that there is no verifiable evidence that it has ever occurred in Nova Scotia. Although all species feed and breed on carrion, there are nevertheless substantial differences in their developmental biology, behavior, seasonality, diel activity, habitat preferences, the particular carrion resources they utilize, and other aspects of their biology that allow them to differentially utilize this resource. The general features of the biology of the two subfamilies, the Silphinae and Nicrophorinae are reviewed, and in individual species accounts, particular aspects of each species are highlighted. The distributions of all species are mapped, and the relative abundance and seasonal distribution of species are graphed. Aspects of resource partitioning, competition, and niche width of the species are discussed. To assist in identification, a key to species found in the region is provided, as are colour habitus photographs of all the species.

  • Species Composition of Carrion Beetles in a Mixed-Oak Forest Paul P
    Species Composition of Carrion Beetles in a Mixed-Oak Forest Paul P. Shubeck Montclair State College, Upper Montclair, N .J. 07043 Norman M. Downie Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana* Rupert L. Wenzel Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, Illinois· Stewart B. Peck Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Abstract. A total of 7059 carrion beetles was collected in Methods Hutcheson Memorial Forest from early April to late November The collecting station was located about 70 meters in 1975. Represented were 68 species plus 2 sub-families and 1 southeast of the weather instrument shelter which is lo­ genus which could not be classified to species. The latter were cated at the north edge of the forest. The beetles were treated as species. Over 99% of the individuals belong to 6 fami­ lies: Silphidae; Staphylinidae; Nitidulidae; Histeridae; Leiodi­ trapped in four No. 10 (3.78 I) food cans, each of which dae; and Scarabaeidae. Silphidae was the most important fami­ was concealed in a wooden box having 1.27 cm wire ly, accounting for over 55% of all beetles collected. Silpha mesh at the top and a rain cover above that. These traps noveboracensis was the most abundant individual species mak­ have been described elsewhere (Shubeck, 1976) and de­ ing up 28.80% of all beetles and S. inaequa/is the second most tailed instructions have been duplicated and are avail­ abundant making up 10.71 % of all Coleoptera. A species list by able upon request from the senior author. The traps.were rank order for the top 15 species (including two higher taxa) in­ situated in a circle on the forest floor so that there was a dicated that these species account for over 91 % of all beetles north, an east, a south, and west trap along the arc of a collected.

  • Key to the Carrion Beetles (Silphidae) of Colorado & Neighboring States
    Key to the carrion beetles (Silphidae) of Colorado & neighboring states Emily Monk, Kevin Hinson, Tim Szewczyk, Holly D’Oench, and Christy M. McCain UCB 265, Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, and CU Museum of Natural History, Boulder, CO 80309, [email protected], [email protected] Version 1 posted online: March 2016 This key is based on several identification sources, including Anderson & Peck 1985, De Jong 2011, Hanley & Cuthrell 2008, Peck & Kaulbars 1997, Peck & Miller 1993, and Ratcliffe 1996. We include all species known from Colorado and those in the surrounding states that might occur in Colorado. Of course, new species may be detected, so make sure to investigate unique individuals carefully. We have included pictures of each species from specimens of the Entomology collection at the CU Museum of Natural History (UCM), the Colorado State C.P. Gillette Museum of Arthropod Diversity (GMAD), and the Florida State Collection of Arthropods (FSCA). A glossary of terms, a list of the states where each species has been detected, and references can be found after the key. We would appreciate reports of omitted species or species from new localities not stated herein. First step—ID as a silphid: Large size, body shape, and antennal club are usually distinctive. Body usually 10-35 mm, moderately to strongly flattened. Elytra broad toward rear, either loosely covering abdomen or short, exposing 1-3 segments. Antennae often ending in a hairy, three-segmented club, usually preceded by two or three enlarged but glabrous segments (subfamily Silphinae) or antennomeres 9-11 lammellate (subfamily Nicrophorinae). Black, often with red, yellow, or orange markings.

  • Effects of Humidity and Temperature On
    EFFECTS OF HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE ON BURYING BEETLE (COLEOPTERA: SILPHIDAE) SURVIVAL AND FLIGHT By DAN ST. AUBIN Bachelor of Science in Entomology and Plant Pathology Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 2017 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE December, 2017 EFFECTS OF HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE ON BURYING BEETLE (COLEOPTERA: SILPHIDAE) SURVIVAL AND FLIGHT Thesis Approved: Dr. W. Wyatt Hoback - Thesis Adviser Dr. Kris Giles Dr. George Opit Dr. Amy Smith ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first and foremost, like to thank those who worked most closely with me to simply “complete my thesis.” A great deal of help came from Marcela Gigliotti, for helping me run my beetles and helping me omit long and drab narratives. For allowing us to collect and sample beetles out at Camp Gruber, I thank Rusty and Larry for setting us up with great sampling locations and support. Gratitude also goes out to everyone whom I’ve interacted with on the base at camp Gruber. Thanks goes out to my field crews who helped me to gather data and work in the field; Lexi Freeman and Jacob Farreister. I would like to thank the programs that contributed grants, research funding, and scholarships. When times were tough, my parents were always there supporting me financially and spiritually; thanks Mom and Dad. I owe you both more than I could pay back. I’m grateful to have seen all the live musicians I’ve seen over my years at OSU and my road crews for sharing the miles to and from.
