A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Biological Sciences University of Alaska Fairbanks August 2017 APPROVED: Pat Doak, Committee Chair Greg Breed, Committee Member Colleen Handel, Committee Member Christa Mulder, Committee Member Kris Hundertmark, Chair Department o f Biology and Wildlife Paul Layer, Dean College o f Natural Science and Mathematics Michael Castellini, Dean of the Graduate School ABSTRACT Across the Arctic, taller woody shrubs, particularly willow (Salix spp.), birch (Betula spp.), and alder (Alnus spp.), have been expanding rapidly onto tundra. Changes in vegetation structure can alter the physical habitat structure, thermal environment, and food available to arthropods, which play an important role in the structure and functioning of Arctic ecosystems. Not only do they provide key ecosystem services such as pollination and nutrient cycling, they are an essential food source for migratory birds. In this study I examined the relationships between the abundance, diversity, and community composition of arthropods and the height and cover of several shrub species across a tundra-shrub gradient in northwestern Alaska. To characterize nestling diet of common passerines that occupy this gradient, I used next-generation sequencing of fecal matter. Willow cover was strongly and consistently associated with abundance and biomass of arthropods and significant shifts in arthropod community composition and diversity.

  • Untangling Taxonomy: a DNA Barcode Reference Library for Canadian Spiders
    Molecular Ecology Resources (2016) 16, 325–341 doi: 10.1111/1755-0998.12444 Untangling taxonomy: a DNA barcode reference library for Canadian spiders GERGIN A. BLAGOEV, JEREMY R. DEWAARD, SUJEEVAN RATNASINGHAM, STEPHANIE L. DEWAARD, LIUQIONG LU, JAMES ROBERTSON, ANGELA C. TELFER and PAUL D. N. HEBERT Biodiversity Institute of Ontario, University of Guelph, Guelph, ON, Canada Abstract Approximately 1460 species of spiders have been reported from Canada, 3% of the global fauna. This study provides a DNA barcode reference library for 1018 of these species based upon the analysis of more than 30 000 specimens. The sequence results show a clear barcode gap in most cases with a mean intraspecific divergence of 0.78% vs. a min- imum nearest-neighbour (NN) distance averaging 7.85%. The sequences were assigned to 1359 Barcode index num- bers (BINs) with 1344 of these BINs composed of specimens belonging to a single currently recognized species. There was a perfect correspondence between BIN membership and a known species in 795 cases, while another 197 species were assigned to two or more BINs (556 in total). A few other species (26) were involved in BIN merges or in a combination of merges and splits. There was only a weak relationship between the number of specimens analysed for a species and its BIN count. However, three species were clear outliers with their specimens being placed in 11– 22 BINs. Although all BIN splits need further study to clarify the taxonomic status of the entities involved, DNA bar- codes discriminated 98% of the 1018 species. The present survey conservatively revealed 16 species new to science, 52 species new to Canada and major range extensions for 426 species.

  • Tautra and Hoklingen, Based on a Compilation of 14C-Dates
    NGU BULLETIN, RESEARCH ARTICLE Age of the Younger Dryas ice-marginal substages in Mid-Norway – Tautra and Hoklingen, based on a compilation of 14C-dates Olsen, L.1, Høgaas, F.1 and Sveian, H.1 1 Geological Survey of Norway, P.O. Box 6315 Sluppen, N-7491 Trondheim The ice-marginal Tautra and Hoklingen Substages in the Trøndelag counties, Mid-Norway, have for a long time been referred to as of early and late Younger Dryas (YD) age, respectively. The basis for this is the regional distribution and morphological correlations of the associated moraines and a number of 14C- datings, mainly of marine shells, previously presented in different papers and map-sheets. In this overview article we present a collection of all 14C-dates associated (more or less accurately) with the Tautra and Hoklingen Substages, a number of 49 and 27 respectively. Using all these dates for a first approximation constrain the Tautra Substage to the age interval 13000 – 12500 cal yr BP and the Hoklingen Substage to 12180 –11600 cal yr BP. Improved accuracy of the age intervals can be obtained by further weighing of geology and stratigraphical positions of the dates. Omitting of dates considered to be slightly too old or too young to be strictly representative, have reduced the number of representative dates for Tautra to 24 and for Hoklingen to 22. The corresponding age intervals are now 12900 – 12620 cal yr BP and 12180 – 11760 cal yr BP, for Tautra and Hoklingen respectively. The Vedde Ash Bed, with established age 12066 ± 42 cal yr BP in western Norway, and dated near Trondheim to 12055 ± 35 cal yr BP, is recorded distally to the Tautra Substage and between the Tautra and Hoklingen Substage deposits, but not closer distally than 5 km and not proximally to the latter.

Biodiversity Data Journal 5: e21010. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.5.e21010 Abstract Background During a field course on spider taxonomy and ecology at the University of Helsinki, the authors had the opportunity to sample four plots with a dual objective of both teaching on field methods, spider identification and behaviour and uncovering the spider diversity patterns found in the southern coastal forests of Hankoniemi, Finland. As an ultimate goal, this field course intended to contribute to a global project that intends to uncover spider diversity patterns worldwide. With that purpose, a set of standardised methods and procedures was followed that allow the comparability of obtained data with numerous other projects being conducted across all continents. New information A total of 104 species and 1997 adults was collected.

MAPPING THE SPIDER FAUNA (ARANEAE) OF FINLAND Seppo Koponen Zoological Museum, University of Turku, FI-20014 Turku, Finland Abstract — The history of research on the spider fauna of Finland is briefly dealt with. The first list of spiders from Finland was published by Nordmann in 1863 and included 140 species; the well-known list of Palmgren (1977) included 595 species and the present (internet) checklist contains ca. 640 species. A recent study project on Finnish spiders and their distribution patterns (“The Spider Fauna of Finland”) is also discussed. Key words: Araneae, spiders, fauna, distribution, research history, threatened species, Finland INTRODUCTION The area of Finland is about 338000 km2, and the country is situated between 60° and 70° N latitude. Most of Finland belongs to the boreal coniferous forest (taiga) zone, the southwestern corner to the hemiboreal zone, and the northernmost parts to the sub-arctic zone. About 80% of Finland can be classified as lowland, lying below 200 m. The highest point of the country is situated in Lapland: Halti, 1328 m a.s.l., in the northwesternmost corner of Finland. The known spider fauna of Finland consists of about 640 species (Koponen, 2007). For comparison, the number of spiders reported from neighboring coun- tries, Sweden (Almquist, 2006) and Norway (Artsdatabanken, 2006), is 716 and 562, respectively.
