    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.

    La connaissance de la biodiversité sur l’Est Cantal un enjeu pour le développement du territoire ! Depuis avril 2017, le SYTEC s’est engagé dans une démarche d’Atlas de la Biodiversité Territoriale, avec l’objectif d’une part, de mieux connaitre la biodiversité du territoire et, d’autre part, d’intégrer les enjeux connus dans les démarches de planification notamment. Dans ce cadre, un ensemble de données naturalistes sur les territoires de l’Est Cantal ont pu être collectées auprès de nombreuses structures (Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, collectivités, associations, naturalistes professionnels…). Des inventaires sont également confiés chaque année par le SYTEC à des structures professionnelles pour compléter les connaissances sur des secteurs mal connus. En complément, des enquêtes participatives, qui rencontrent un vif succès, ont été lancées à destination du grand public, particulièrement des habitants des territoires. Ce travail de collecte a permis de réunir plus d’un million de données depuis le début de la démarche. A la fin de l’année 2018, ce sont 2505 espèces qui ont été répertoriés sur le territoire depuis 10 ans pour la faune (1017 espèces) et au cours de ces 15 dernières années pour la flore, les champignons et les algues (respectivement 1359, 31 et 98 espèces recensés). Parmi elles, 303 espèces sont considérées comme des espèces à enjeux en termes de préservation. Les inventaires se sont poursuivis en 2019 et continueront en 2020, permettant une mise à jour annuelle des connaissances de l’Est Cantal. Afin de partager

  • Ants Inhabiting Oak Cynipid Galls in Hungary
    North-Western Journal of Zoology 2020, vol.16 (1) - Correspondence: Notes 95 Ants inhabiting oak Cynipid galls in Hungary Oaks are known to harbour extremely rich insect communi- ties, among them more than 100 species of gall wasps (Hy- menoptera: Cynipidae) in Europe (Csóka et al. 2005, Melika 2006). Some gall wasp species are able to induce large and structurally complex galls that can sometimes be abundant on oaks, providing attractive shelters for several arthropod taxa including ant species. Ants are among the most important players in many ecosystems and they are also considered to act as ecosystem engineers (Folgarait, 1998). They are also famous for having ecological or physical interactions with a great variety of other organisms, such as gall wasps. Ants are known to tend Figure 1. Inner structure of the asexual Andricus quercustozae gall in- aphid colonies on the developing galls and, as general pred- habited by ants. ators, they prey on arthropods approaching the protected aphid colonies. Some oak cynipid galls secrete honeydew on their surface. This sweet substrate attracts ants and, in re- turn, the ants protect the galls from predators and parasi- toids (Abe, 1988, 1992; Inouye & Agrawal 2004; Nicholls, 2017). Beyond this obvious ecological interaction between gall wasps and ants, this association continues after the gall wasp’s life cycle has ceased. Certain galls are known to serve as either temporary or permanent shelter for many ant species. Some galls (e.g. An- dricus hungaricus (Hartig), Andricus quercustozae (Bosc), Aphelonyx cerricola (Giraud)) are large enough even for re- productive ant colonies. The advantages of galls as nesting logs are multifaceted.

    Dumfries & Galloway Wildlife Review Cover Image: Hedgehog by Keith Kirk. Keith is a former Dumfries & Galloway Council ranger and now helps to run Nocturnal Wildlife Tours based in Castle Douglas. The tours use a specially prepared night tours vehicle, complete with external mounted thermal camera and internal viewing screens. Each participant also has their own state- of-the-art thermal imaging device to use for the duration of the tour. This allows participants to detect animals as small as rabbits at up to 300 metres away or get close enough to see Badgers and Roe Deer going about their nightly routine without them knowing you’re there.

Floral evolution is expected to reflect interactions with the most important 20 pollinators, but few studies have quantified the contribution of different pollinators to current 21 selection on floral traits. To compare selection mediated by diurnal and nocturnal pollinators on 22 floral display and spur length in the rewarding orchid Gymnadenia conopsea, we manipulated 23 the environment by conducting supplemental hand-pollinations and selective pollinator 24 exclusions in two populations in central Norway. In both populations, the exclusion of diurnal 25 pollinators significantly reduced seed production compared to open-pollination, whereas the 26 exclusion of nocturnal pollinators did not. There was significant selection on traits expected to 27 influence pollinator attraction and pollination efficiency in both the diurnal and nocturnal 28 pollination treatment. The relative strength of selection among plants exposed to diurnal and 29 nocturnal visitors varied among traits and populations, but the direction of selection was 30 consistent.
