Nomura URBAN NATURALIST Developing Biodiverse Green Roofs for Japan: Arthropod and Colonizer Plant Diversity on Harappa and Biotope Roofs Ayako Nagase1,*, Yoriyuki Yamada2, Tadataka Aoki2, and Masashi Nomura3 Abstract - Urban biodiversity is an important ecological goal that drives green-roof in- stallation. We studied 2 kinds of green roofs designed to optimize biodiversity benefits: the Harappa (extensive) roof and the Biotope (intensive) roof. The Harappa roof mimics vacant-lot vegetation. It is relatively inexpensive, is made from recycled materials, and features community participation in the processes of design, construction, and mainte- nance. The Biotope roof includes mainly native and host plant species for arthropods, as well as water features and stones to create a wide range of habitats. This study is the first to showcase the Harappa roof and to compare biodiversity on Harappa and Biotope roofs. Arthropod species richness was significantly greater on the Biotope roof. The Harappa roof had dynamic seasonal changes in vegetation and mainly provided habitats for grassland fauna. In contrast, the Biotope roof provided stable habitats for various arthropods. Herein, we outline a set of testable hypotheses for future comparison of these different types of green roofs aimed at supporting urban biodiversity. Introduction Rapid urban growth and associated anthropogenic environmental change have been identified as major threats to biodiversity at a global scale (Grimm et al. 2008, Güneralp and Seto 2013). Green roofs can partially compensate for the loss of green areas by replacing impervious rooftop surfaces and thus, contribute to urban biodiversity (Brenneisen 2006).

Date: December 2017 Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Summary Many orthopterans are associated with large scale destruction of crops, rangeland and pastures. Plangia graminea (Serville) (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) is considered a minor sporadic pest in vineyards of the Western Cape Province, South Africa, and was the focus of this study. In the past few seasons (since 2012) P. graminea appeared to have caused a substantial amount of damage leading to great concern among the wine farmers of the Western Cape Province. Very little was known about the biology and ecology of this species, and no monitoring method was available for this pest. The overall aim of the present study was, therefore, to investigate the biology and ecology of P. graminea in vineyards of the Western Cape to contribute knowledge towards the formulation of a sustainable integrated pest management program, as well as to establish an appropriate monitoring system.

The structure of the male postabdomen and associated sensilla of Phaneroptera nana Fieber 1853, and remarks on uniporous sensilla of genitalia (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Phaneropterinae) Michel J. FAUCHEUX Université de Nantes, Faculté des Sciences et des Techniques, Laboratoire d’Endocrinologie des Insectes Sociaux, 2, rue de la Houssinière, B. P. 92208, F-44322 Nantes Cedex 3, France. e-mail: faucheux.michel@free fr Abstract. The sensilla of the male postabdomen of the Mediterranean Katydid Phaneroptera nana were investigated by scanning electron microscope in order to study their involvement in copulatory behaviour. The externally visible parts at the abdominal extremity are the dorsal epiproct and the ventral subgenital plate which together form a kind of pincer, and the highly developed cerci which are curved like a hook. The more internal parts are the paraprocts and the genitalia. The epiproct bears three types of aporous sensilla chaetica and sensilla campaniformia on its external surface, and only aporous sensilla filiformia on its internal surface. The subgenital plate is equipped with aporous sensilla chaetica and aporous sensilla filiformia present on its external surface whereas its internal surface is without sensilla. The cercal sensilla are composed of aporous sensilla filiformia of two subtypes, aporous sensilla chaetica and sensilla campaniformia. The surface of the paraprocts is endowed with aporous sensilla filiformia, two subtypes of aporous sensilla chaetica and sensilla campaniformia. The genitalia comprise uniporous sensilla basiconica with the abruptly narrowed tip. They are joined together by a median small tongue provided with uniporous sensilla basiconica, and are edged with a pad bearing sensilla campaniformia.

  • Research Paper RARITY, and PRIORITIZATION of TETTIGONIID
    Journal of Global Biosciences ISSN 2320-1355 Volume 8, Number 10, 2019, pp. 6481-6499 Website: www.mutagens.co.in Research Paper RARITY, AND PRIORITIZATION OF TETTIGONIID SPECIES AND SELECTION OF SITES FOR CONSERVATION OF TETTIGONIIDAE IN TAMILNADU Govindaraj Divya and Natchiappan Senthilkumar Institute of Forest Genetics and Tree Breeding, Coimbatore – 641 002, Tamilnadu, India. Abstract The present study documents the distribution; occurrence and faunal richness of Tettigoniids in Tamil Nadu, from four different vegetation types viz forest ecosystem, open grassland ecosystem, wasteland ecosystem, and agroecosystems. A total of twenty-six species in five different subfamilies, were recorded. Three faunal properties, viz., species richness, complementarity and taxonomic difference were calculated as a measure of diversity. Root weighting is a fixed weight index where species are valued for differences according to their position in the taxonomic hierarchy. Following this, the tettigoniid species were weighed as per their rarity in Tamil Nadu and their taxonomic distinctness, which provided the necessary pointer for habitats prioritized for conservation. This method gave a higher priority to lowland forest habitats for conserving tettigoniids, followed by the upland forests, grasslands, arablelands and finally the wastelands. Key words: Conservation, Orthoptera, Tettigoniids, Site selection, and Root weighting. INTRODUCTION The burgeoning human population demands has resulted in tremendous loss of biodiversity globally and scientists are pondering on ways to protect if not prevent species extinction. Site selection for conservation of ecologically functional species is gaining momentum and it has been accepted that while the more visible species are protected at a site, many umbrella species automatically get covered. However there are many other species which does great ecological functions, but do not fall under the umbrella species category.

Half of the species were collected during survey. The collected material was sorted out into 8 genera belonging to 5 tribes viz., Phaneropterini, Trigonocoryphini, Ducetini, Holochlorini and Elimaeini. During present study, Ducetia japonica Thunberg 1815, Elimaea sp., Phaneroptera spinosa Bei-Bienko 1954, Trigonocorypha angustata Uvarov, 1922, Trigonocorypha unicolor Stål 1873 were reported as new records for the first time from Pakistan. It was also observed that Phaneroptera spinosa Bei-Bienko 1965, Phaneroptera roseata Walker, 1869, were widely distributed species. The distribution of all previously recorded species has been greatly extended to the localities. The taxonomic keys for various taxa have also been constructed for their future identification.

  • Wing-Based Communication in Carboniferous Insects
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-021-02281-0 OPEN Sound vs. light: wing-based communication in Carboniferous insects ✉ Thomas Schubnel 1,5 , Frédéric Legendre 1,5, Patrick Roques2, Romain Garrouste1, Raphaël Cornette1, ✉ Michel Perreau3,4, Naïl Perreau4, Laure Desutter-Grandcolas1,5 & André Nel 1,5 Acoustic communication is well-known in insects since the Mesozoic, but earlier evidence of this behavior is rare. Titanoptera, an ‘orthopteroid’ Permian-Triassic order, is one of the few candidates for Paleozoic intersex calling interactions: some specimens had highly specialized broadened zones on the forewings, which are currently considered—despite inconclusive evidence—as ‘resonators’ of a stridulatory apparatus. Here we argue that the stridulatory 1234567890():,; apparatus hypothesis is unlikely because the Titanoptera lack a stridulatory file on their bodies, legs or wings. Instead, comparing these broadened zones with similar structures in extant locusts, flies, and fossil damselflies, we find evidence that the Titanoptera used their wings to produce flashes of light and/or crepitated sounds. Moreover, we describe the first Carboniferous (~310 Mya) Titanoptera, which exhibits such specialized zones, thus corre- sponding to the oldest record of wing communication in insects. Whether these commu- nication systems were used to attract sexual partners and/or escape predators remain to be demonstrated. 1 Institut de Systématique, Évolution, Biodiversité (ISYEB), Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, CNRS, SU, EPHE, UA, 57 rue Cuvier, Paris Cedex 05, France. 2 Allée des Myosotis, Neuilly sur Marne, France. 3 IUT Paris Diderot, Université de Paris, 20 quater rue du département, Paris, France. 4 27 quai d’Anjou, Paris, France. 5These authors contributed equally: Thomas Schubnel, Frédéric Legendre, Laure Desutter-Grandcolas, André Nel.

Tettigoniidae, survival strategies, endangered species, large insect predators, ecological limits Abstract. The bush-cricket Saga pedo, one of the largest predatory insects, has a scattered distribution across 20 countries in Europe. At the northern boundary of its distribution, this species is most commonly found in Slovakia and Hungary. In Slovakia in 2003–2006, 36 known and potentially favourable localities were visited and at seven this species was recorded for the first time. This species has been found in Slovakia in xerothermic forest steppes and limestone grikes (98% of localities) and on slopes (10–45°) with south-westerly or westerly aspects (90%) at altitudes of 220–585 m a.s.l. (mean 433 m, n = 20 localities). Most individuals (66%) were found in grass-herb layers 10–30 cm high and almost 87% within 10 m of a forest edge (oak, beech and hornbeam being prevalent). The maximum density was 12 nymphs (3rd–5th instar) / 1000 m2 (July 4, 510 m a.s.l.). In a comparison of five present and previous S. pedo localities, 43 species of Orthoptera were found in the present and 37 in previous localities. The mean numbers and relative abundance of species in present S.

The species of the genus Euanerota Karny, 1927 are here regarded as congeneric with Phanero­ ptera Serville, and all species which have been described in that genus are also included here. The genus Eulioptera is new, and Nephoptera Uvarov, 1929 is conveniently included as a very close relative. The species which Bei-Bienko ( 1954) included in the genus Pseudanerota Bei-Bienko, 1951 are regarded in this work as congeneric with Nephoptera Uvarov, and are also covered by this rev1s1on.
