Contributions Toward a Lepidoptera (Psychidae, Yponomeutidae, Sesiidae, Cossidae, Zygaenoidea, Thyrididae, Drepanoidea, Geometro
Contributions Toward a Lepidoptera (Psychidae, Yponomeutidae, Sesiidae, Cossidae, Zygaenoidea, Thyrididae, Drepanoidea, Geometroidea, Mimalonoidea, Bombycoidea, Sphingoidea, & Noctuoidea) Biodiversity Inventory of the University of Florida Natural Area Teaching Lab Hugo L. Kons Jr. Last Update: June 2001 Abstract A systematic check list of 489 species of Lepidoptera collected in the University of Florida Natural Area Teaching Lab is presented, including 464 species in the superfamilies Drepanoidea, Geometroidea, Mimalonoidea, Bombycoidea, Sphingoidea, and Noctuoidea. Taxa recorded in Psychidae, Yponomeutidae, Sesiidae, Cossidae, Zygaenoidea, and Thyrididae are also included. Moth taxa were collected at ultraviolet lights, bait, introduced Bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum), and by netting specimens. A list of taxa recorded feeding on P. notatum is presented. Introduction The University of Florida Natural Area Teaching Laboratory (NATL) contains 40 acres of natural habitats maintained for scientific research, conservation, and teaching purposes. Habitat types present include hammock, upland pine, disturbed open field, cat tail marsh, and shallow pond. An active management plan has been developed for this area, including prescribed burning to restore the upland pine community and establishment of plots to study succession (http://csssrvr.entnem.ufl.edu/~walker/natl.htm). The site is a popular collecting locality for student and scientific collections. The author has done extensive collecting and field work at NATL, and two previous reports have resulted from this work, including: a biodiversity inventory of the butterflies (Lepidoptera: Hesperioidea & Papilionoidea) of NATL (Kons 1999), and an ecological study of Hermeuptychia hermes (F.) and Megisto cymela (Cram.) in NATL habitats (Kons 1998). Other workers have posted NATL check lists for Ichneumonidae, Sphecidae, Tettigoniidae, and Gryllidae (http://csssrvr.entnem.ufl.edu/~walker/insect.htm). -

Ficus Microcarpa (Moraceae) Naturalized in Southern California, U
42 Phytologia (Jan 5, 2016) 98(1) Ficus microcarpa (Moraceae) naturalized in Southern California, U. S. A.: Linking plant, pollinator, and suitable microhabitats to document the invasion process RICHARD E. RIEFNER, JR. Research Associate, Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden 1500 North College Avenue Claremont, California 91711-3157, U.S.A. [email protected] ABSTRACT Ficus microcarpa is native to temperate and tropical Asia, Australasia, and Pacific regions. It is a popular ornamental tree grown in many warm temperate, subtropical, and tropical regions of the world, where it is widely known to escape from cultivation. It is reported here as being naturalized in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Diego, and Ventura counties, southern California. The invasive spread of F. microcarpa follows the introduction of its host-specific pollinating wasp, Eupristina verticillata; E. verticillata was first reported for California in 1994 from Arcadia, Los Angeles County. The wasp introduction reunited the F. microcarpa host plant–E. verticillata obligate pollinator mutualism thereby enabling the reproduction and naturalization of both organisms in California. A map showing the current distribution of F. microcarpa, citation of voucher specimens, and photographic documentation are provided. Published on-line www.phytologia.org Phytologia 98(1):42-75 (Jan 5, 2016). ISSN 030319430. KEY WORDS: Ficus microcarpa, biological invasions, California, epiphytes, Eupristina verticillata, fig wasps, halophytes, invasive plants, mutualisms, ornamental horticulture, urban weeds. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Ficus (Moraceae) is one of the largest and most diverse genera of flowering plants. Ficus species occur primarily in subtropical and tropical regions around the world (Berg & Corner 2005). Members of the genus are treated within six subgenera based primarily on their differences in habit and inflorescence morphologies (Berg 2003), and species-specific wasp-dependent pollination syndromes (van Noort & Rasplus 2015). -

Arxius de Miscel·lània Zoològica, 17: 59–71, Doi: https://doi.org/10.32800/ amz.2019.17.0059 Abstract Population fluctuations ofGynaikothrips ficorum (Marchal, 1908) (Thysanoptera, Tubulifera) and natural enemies on leaf gall of Ficus retusa in Algeria. Monthly fluctuations of thrip populations on Ficus retusa were monitored and parasites and predators in Boudouaou, Algeria, were identified. Twenty leaves were collected fortnightly from 30 trees from January to December 2015. The number of eggs increased significantly in August with 11,163 eggs and was slightly higher in October with 11,471 eggs. Presence was rare in spring and winter. The 1st and 2nd larval stages (L1 and L2) overlapped: L1 were present from August to October with 27 and 51 individuals respectively, and L2 were present from August to December with 65 to 186 individuals respectively. Prepupae were active in April and June, reaching 46 and 50 indi- viduals respectively, before increasing to 266 in November. Highest numbers of pupae were observed in June (171) and July (135). The number of adults gradually increased, reaching a maximum of 642 in early December. Two predators were identified: Montandoniola confusa (Hemiptera, Anthocoridae) and Nephus peyerimhoffi (Coleoptera, Coccinellidae). -
Composition of Trees Grown Surrounding Water Springs at Two Areas in Purwosari Pasuruan, East Java
THE JOURNAL OF TROPICAL LIFE SCIENCE OPEN ACCESS Freely available online VOL. 2, NO. 2, pp. 110 – 118, September, 2012 Composition of Trees Grown Surrounding Water Springs at Two Areas in Purwosari Pasuruan, East Java Soejono Purwodadi Botanic Garden-Indonesian Institute of Sciences ABSTRACT The aim of the research was to find out the composition of trees grown surrounding water springs at two areas in Purwosari, Pasuruan, East Java. Eleven plots for each area were observed. The data were analyzed using Mueller-Dombois’s method to calculate their importance value indexes, while Shannon-Wiener’s formula was used for determining the diversity index. The coordinate and altitude of every water spring or its group’s site was determined using Geographical Position System (GPS) to know their positions on the map. The result indicated that there were at least 30 families, 49 genera which consisted of 68 species of trees grown surrounding water springs at the first area with 5.49 of diversity index, while the second area, consisted of 34 families, 63 genera and 79 species of trees with 5.24 diversity index. The diversity of trees species from Moraceae was the highest among other families, both at the first and the second area, whereas, trees species having a significant important value index included Bambusa blumeana, Dendrocalamus asper, Ficus racemosa, Horsfieldia irya and Ficus virens. The position of the springs in the two areas within the sub-districts of Purwosari is in the range of 7º44'448 " south latitude; 112º44'353" east longitude up to 7º46'339 " south latitude; 112º41’190" east longitude at an altitude between 251 and 522 m above sea level. -

P, India. Moraceae is one of the latex producing family with cosmopolitan distribution. The members of the family is a part of indian tradition,food and medicine. Most of the CT species are trees and shrubs. The family includes well known plants such as fig, banyan, sacred fig or bodhi tree, jackfruit, mulberry, breadfruit etc. The key feature of this family is catkin inflorescence and drupe or sorosis type of fruit. In Ayurvedic classics the members of Moraceae like Udumbar, Aswatha, Vata, Plaksha, Kakodumbarika and Nandi vruksha are explained under Vatadi varga and plants like Panasa, Lakucha and Tootha are explained under Amradi varga by ABSTRA Bavamisra. Panchavalka, Nyagrodadhi gana, Nalpamara etc are commonly using formulations in daily Ayurveda practices, in which the Moraceae members are highlight of this medicinal groups. INTRODUCTION ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY The Moraceae is often called the ' Mulberry family ' or 'fig 1. Artocarpus heterophyllus(Jack fruit) is known for their family '. The family comprising about 37 to 43 genera and 1000 large fruit and durable wood. The greenish unripe fruit is species.
