Predation, artifi cial prey, dendrotelm, dummy larvae, forest, insect larvae, microcosms, tree-related microhabitats Abstract. Tree-related microhabitats are important for forest biodiversity. Water-fi lled tree holes are one such microhabitat and can be abundant in temperate forests. The arthropod community in this microhabitat not only contribute to forest biodiversity but also provides food for terrestrial predators such as arthropods, small mammals and birds. The extent of the threat of attack from terrestrial predators on insect larvae in this microhabitat, however, is poorly known. To measure predation in this microhabitat, we produced fake prey resembling insect larvae using white plasticine and exposed them at the aquatic-terrestrial habitat interface. -

The Systematics of the Burrowing Water Beetles (Coleoptera: Adephaga: Noteridae)
THE SYSTEMATICS OF THE BURROWING WATER BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: ADEPHAGA: NOTERIDAE) BY STEPHEN M. BACA Submitted to the graduate degree program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ___________________________ Chairperson Andrew E. Z. Short ___________________________ Bruce S. Lieberman ___________________________ Kelly B. Miller Date Defended: June 30, 2015 The Thesis Committee for Stephen M. Baca certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: THE SYSTEMATICS OF THE BURROWING WATER BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: ADEPHAGA: NOTERIDAE) ___________________________ Chairperson Andrew E. Z. Short Date Approved: 15 July, 2015 ii Abstract The aquatic beetle family Noteridae (Coleoptera: Adephaga) comprises a group with poorly studied diversity that has received limited systematic study. Despite the corroboration of multiple phylogenic reconstructions, many relationships within Noteridae remain poorly supported or unresolved. Here I address the questions surrounding the systematics of Noteridae in three ways. First, a review of previously constructed noterid phylogenies is presented and methods, variation in recovered relationships and the current classification of Noteridae are explored. Second, a phylogeny of Noteridae is inferred based on the analysis of DNA sequence data of five gene fragments: COI, H3, 16S, 18S, and 28S. Our taxon sampling of Noteridae is the most robust of any phylogenetic investigation of Noteridae to date and includes representatives for 16 of the 17 current noterid genera. Bayesian and Maximum likelihood analyses produce highly supported trees that strongly contradict previous studies. Our results recover the monophyly of the following higher level groups: (1). Meruidae + Noteridae, though the exact nature of this relationship is unresolved; (2) Phreatodytinae + Notomicrinae; and (3) Noterinae. -

Events from 2018
Events from 2018 Insectary Building is Decommissioned In 2015, the Board of Regents approved a $52 million budget for a new project: the Advanced Teaching and Research Building (ATRB) at ISU. The 5-story building finished construction in the spring of 2018 and includes research labs, class- rooms and many collaborative spaces. Over the summer, five Entomology faculty (Drs. Sue Blodgett, Joel Coats, Aaron Gassmann, Erin Hodgson, and Matt O’Neal) moved to the sec- ond floor. The Plant and Insect Diagnostic Clinic (PIDC) is also on the second floor. Yes, there are actually greenhouses on top of the building! In late 2018, the rest of Insectary inhabitants moved to Science II, including Donald Lewis and the Pesticide Safety Education Program (Kris- tine Schaefer, Betsy Buffington, Mark Shour, and Kathy Wilson). The Insectary building was decommissioned and will be demolished in 2019. View of construction of ATRB from Science II.

Coats Receives C.V. Riley Award Dr. Joel Coats, distinguished professor, was the 2018 recipient of the C. V. Riley Award in Madison, WI. The purpose of the C. V. Riley Award is to provide recognition to members of the North Central Branch of the Entomological Society of America who have made outstand- ing contributions to the science of entomology. Joel’s research program includes (1) insect toxi- cology and (2) environmental toxicology and environmental chemistry of agrochemicals. -

The Centre is funded by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. Chairman’s statement The National Biodiversity Data Centre has completed its second full year of operation. Considerable progress has been made in implementing its five-year work programme and the benefits of this programme are now becoming apparent. During the year, the National Biodiversity Data Centre has brought Ireland’s natural heritage data management firmly into the 21st Century with the production of a state of the art on-line mapping system to make biodiversity information freely available. The requirement for high quality information to be easily accessible and available in the appropriate format underpins the biodiversity policy approach, as biodiversity is a knowledge-based policy. The provision of a national data management system addresses one of the systemic weaknesses characteristic of biodiversity conservation over the last two decades. The system now exists where historic and current information can be readily used by decision-makers and is available as a resource to draw on to inform future research. -
