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.

One insect group which reacts sensitively to habitat changes are the rove beetles contributing to the maintenance of an undisturbed insect succession during decomposition by mainly hunting fly maggots. However, little is known about carrion-associated rove beetles due to poor taxonomic knowledge. In our study, we unveiled the human-induced and environmental drivers that modify rove beetle communities on vertebrate cadavers. At German forest sites selected by a gradient of management intensity, we contributed to the understanding of the rove beetle-mediated decomposition process. One main result is that an increasing human impact in forests changes rove beetle communities by promoting generalist and more open-habitat species coping with low structural heterogeneity, whereas species like Philonthus decorus get lost.

  • Predation of Anetia Briarea Godart (Nymphalidae
    Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 49(3), 1995, 223-233 PREDATION OF ANETIA BRIAREA GODART (NYMPHALIDAE: DANAINAE) AT AGGREGAllION SITES: A POTENTIAL THREAT TO THE SUR VIV AL OF A RARE MONT ANE BUTTERFLY IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC DEREK S. SIKES AND MICHAEL A. IVIE Department of Entomology, Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana 59717, USA ABSTRACT. Evidence of predation on Anetia briarea was discovered at the single known aggregation site on Pico Duarte in the Dominican Republic. In addition to birds, feral rats (Rattus rattus L.) are hypothesized to be involved in predatory activity affecting the aggregation. Analyses show no biases in the sex, size, or color of A. briarea taken as prey. Steps that can be taken to protect the aggregating butterflies include removal of exotic rats from the colony area. RESUMEN. Evidencia de predacion de Anetia briarea fue descubierta en el unico sitio conocido de agregacion en Pico Duarte en la Republica Dominicana. Ademas de pajaros, se cree que ratas (Rattus rattus), estan involucradas en la predlacion de las colonias. Un amilisis de predacion de las colonias de A. briarea muestra no tendencia por el genero, tamaiio, 0 color de la presa. Actividades para proteger las mariposas que se estan agregando incluyen la eliminacion de las ratas extraiias del sitio de agregacion. Additional key words: rats, conservation biology, West Indies. Predation on butterflies, although thought to be important evolu­ tionarily, is rarely observed in the field (Brown & Vasconcellos 1976, Bowers et al. 1985, Brower & Calvert 1985). With the exception of the observations documenting predation of monarchs at overwintering sites (Brower & Calvert 1985, Sakai 1994) most of our knowledge regarding predation on butterflies is obtained indirectly by analysis of the evidence of predation, such as beak-marked (e.g.
