    Tijdschrift voor Entomologie 160 (2017) 75–88 The occurrence of stalk-eyed flies (Diptera, Diopsidae) in the Arabian Peninsula, with a review of cluster formation in the Diopsidae Hans R. Feijen*, Ralph Martin & Cobi Feijen Catalogue and distribution data are presented for the six Diopsidae species known to occur in the Arabian Peninsula: Sphyracephala beccarii, Chaetodiopsis meigenii, Diasemopsis aethiopica, Diopsis arabica, Diopsis mayae and Diopsis sp. (ichneumonea species group). The biogeographical aspects of their distribution are discussed. Records of Diopsis apicalis and Diopsis collaris are removed from the list for Arabia as these were based on misidentifications. Synonymies involving Diasemopsis aethiopica and Diasemopsis varians are discussed. Only one out of four specimens in the D. elegantula type series proved conspecific with D. aethiopica. The synonymy of D. aethiopica and D. varians is rejected. A lectotype for Diasemopsis elegantula is now designated. D. elegantula is proposed as junior synonym of D. varians. A fly cluster of more than 80,000 Sphyracephala beccarii, observed in Oman, is described. The occurrence of cluster formations in the Diopsidae is reviewed, while a possible explanation is indicated.

ZooKeys 946: 113–151. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.946.53108 Abstract The literature on Sri Lankan Diopsidae is reviewed. Eight Diopsidae are now known to occur in Sri Lanka, five species in the genusTeleopsis and one species each in the genera Sphyracephala, Diopsis, and Cyrtodiopsis. The presence of Cyrtodiopsis requires confirmation to exclude the possibility of mislabelling. All five Teleopsis species are endemic, as are the Diopsis species and probably the Cyrtodiopsis species. Only Sphyracephala bipunctipennis Senior-White has a larger distribution as it also occurs in India. A key is pre- sented for the Diopsidae of Sri Lanka. Three Teleopsis species were already known to occur in Sri Lanka: T. ferruginea Röder, T.

In the present thesis, I try to resolve some ques­ tions concerning the evolution of reproductive parasites and their hosts by means of theoretical modelling, using a variety of approaches including recurrence equations, optimisation, and stochastic modelling.

Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Acknowledgements Thank you first of all to Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) for funding this PhD through the London NERC DTP, and also supporting my work at the NERC Biomolecular Analysis Facility (NBAF) via a grant. Thank you to Deborah Dawson, Gav Horsburgh and Rachel Tucker at the NBAF for all of their help. Thanks also to ASAB and the Genetics Society for funding two summer students who provided valuable assistance and good company during busy experiments. Thank you to them – Leslie Nitsche and Kiran Lee – and also to a number of undergraduate project students who provided considerable support – Nathan White, Harry Kelleher, Dixon Koh, Kiran Lee, and Galvin Ooi. It was a pleasure to work with you all. Thank you also to all of the members of the stalkie lab who have come before me. In particular I would like to thank Lara Meade, who has always been there for help and advice. Special thanks also to Flo Camus for endless aid and assistance when it came to troubleshooting molecular work.

    de la Motte & Burkhardt 1983 1 Female Mate Choice and Male Ornamentation in the Stalk-Eyed Fly, Diasemopsis meigenii James Malcolm Howie Submitted for Ph.D. University College London 2 I, James Malcolm Howie, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 A C K N O W L E D G E M E N T S First and foremost, I would like to thank my two Ph.D. supervisors, Professor Kevin Fowler (Kevin) and Professor Andrew Pomiankowski (POM). Both have been excellent, and have pushed, and pulled, and sometimes frustrated me into shape. I have learned a lot from them, and I suspect the lessons (the ‘Kevin’ and ‘POM’ in my head) will keep on coming. Thanks guys!! Next, I would like to thank all of the members of the stalkie lab, and also, more recently, those of the Drosophila lab. The Ph.D. would not have happened without you – and that means all of you, really. Thanks! The names of you lot are (in – I hope – alphabetical order), Aaron Towlson, Alison Cotton, David Ellis, Elisabeth (Liz) Harley, Lara Meade, Lawrence Bellamy, Luke Lazarou, Nadine Chapman and Sam Cotton (as well the Drosophila guys, Filipe Ruzicka and Mark Hill). I want to also give a special thanks to Nadine Chapman, who helped me a great deal when I first arrived at this lab, and got me started and integrated. Thanks too, to David Murrel for his advice at my upgrade – it helped.

  • 9 the Evolution of Imperfect Mimicry
    09Insect Evolutionary 25/1/05 15:47 Page 231 9 The Evolution of Imperfect Mimicry FRANCIS GILBERT School of Biology, Nottingham University, Nottingham, UK 1. Ideas about mimicry Apart from some notable exceptions, mimicry and brightly coloured aposematic patterns have been discussed by biologists mainly from three very different points of view, each making unrealistic assumptions about aspects of the other two (Mallet and Joron, 1999). The most obvious in the voluminous literature (see Komarek, 1998) is the insect natural history approach, used by both naturalists and professional biologists, which has simplistic ideas about the ways in which predators behave and of their evolutionary impact on their prey. The second is a modelling approach, that of evolutionary dynamics: this virtually ignores predator behaviour and any details of the interactions between predators and their prey. The final viewpoint is centred on the details of predator behaviour, but this is often simplistic about the evolutionary dynamics, and can make unrealistic assumptions about the psychological processes of learning and forgetting. A gradual synthesis is taking place between these viewpoints, partly in response to the inadequacy of older theory to explain the phenomenon of imperfect mimicry. In this chapter, I outline the basic ideas of mimicry theory, and show how they fail to account for the commonly imperfectly mimetic patterns of the main taxonomic group in the Holarctic that contains mimics; the hoverflies (Diptera, Syrphidae). I review the relevant information about this group, and assess a variety of new theories of imperfect mimicry, which have been put forward largely to account for the evolution of their colour patterns.
