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.

Abstract Caliothrips fasciatus is native to the USA and western Mexico and overwintering adults are regular contaminants in the ‘navel’ of navel oranges exported from California, USA to Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere. Due to the long history of regular interceptions of C. fasciatus in Australia, a survey for this thrips was undertaken around airports, seaports, public recreational parks and major agricul- tural areas in the states of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia to determine whether C. fasciatus has successfully invaded Australia. Host plants that are known to support populations of C. fasciatus, such as various annual and perennial agricultural crops, urban ornamentals and weeds along with native Australian flora, were sampled for this thrips. A total of 4675 thrips specimens encompassing at least 76 species from a minimum of 47 genera, and three families were collected from at least 159 plant species in 67 families. Caliothrips striatopterus was collected in Queensland, but the target species, C. fasciatus, was not found anywhere. An undescribed genus of Thripidae, Panchaetothripinae, was collected from ornamental Grevillea (var.

  • Identification Key to the Subfamilies of Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera)
    Identification key to the subfamilies of Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera) Gavin Broad Dept. of Entomology, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, UK Notes on the key, February 2011 This key to ichneumonid subfamilies should be regarded as a test version and feedback will be much appreciated (emails to [email protected]). Many of the illustrations are provisional and more characters need to be illustrated, which is a work in progress. Many of the scanning electron micrographs were taken by Sondra Ward for Ian Gauld’s series of volumes on the Ichneumonidae of Costa Rica. Many of the line drawings are by Mike Fitton. I am grateful to Pelle Magnusson for the photographs of Brachycyrtus ornatus and for his suggestion as to where to include this subfamily in the key. Other illustrations are my own work. Morphological terminology mostly follows Fitton et al. (1988). A comprehensively illustrated list of morphological terms employed here is in development. In lateral views, the anterior (head) end of the wasp is to the left and in dorsal or ventral images, the anterior (head) end is uppermost. There are a few exceptions (indicated in figure legends) and these will rectified soon. Identifying ichneumonids Identifying ichneumonids can be a daunting process, with about 2,400 species in Britain and Ireland. These are currently classified into 32 subfamilies (there are a few more extralimitally). Rather few of these subfamilies are reconisable on the basis of simple morphological character states, rather, they tend to be reconisable on combinations of characters that occur convergently and in different permutations across various groups of ichneumonids.

The staff can provide practical information on a wide variety of forest and shade tree problems for Maine residents. Our technical reference library and insect collection enables the staff to accurately identify most causal agents. Our website is a portal to not only our material and notices of current forest pest issues but also provides links to other resources. A stock of information sheets and brochures is available on many of the more common insect and disease problems. We can also provide you with a variety of useful publications on topics related to forest insects and diseases. Submitting Samples - Samples brought or sent in for diagnosis should be accompanied by as much information as possible including: host plant, type of damage (i.e., canker, defoliation, wilting, wood borer, etc.), date, location, and site description along with your name, mailing address and day-time telephone number or e-mail address.

  • Phlaeothripidae: Thysanoptera
    Vol. XXII, No. 3, December, 1977 495 A Review of the Hawaiian Species of Idolothripinae (Phlaeothripidae: Thysanoptera) K. Sakimura and F. A. Bianchi BISHOP MUSEUM, HONOLULU, HAWAII Published knowledge of the Hawaiian tubuliferous thrips fauna is meager. This is largely due to the limited extent to which our findings have been reported in the past. Those accumulated findings are being jointly reported in this paper and in others to follow. The primary objective of these papers is to assemble all the information on these thrips together in a ready reference available for local use. All the Hawaiian literatures will be completely cited. Recent innovations in the systematics of the suborder Tubulifera, specifically the two major contributions by Mound (1974a, b) on the Pacific Idolothripinae, provided impetus to the study of the Hawaiian species. The last review of the Hawaiian Thysanoptera (Zimmerman 1948) is in need of extensive clarifications and additions. It listed only six idolothripine species. In the present review, one synonymy and two nomenclatural changes are reported, and four more species, including one new to science, are added. A new idolothripine species described subsequent to the last review was found to have been misplaced in this subfamily. Among nine species listed here, only three are considered endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. Materials accumulated in the Sakimura Collection and the Bishop Museum Collection are all pooled in this work. The Bianchi Collection, which included the HSPA Collection and the Hawaiian Entomological Society Collection, is now deposited in the Bernice P. Biship Museum. In our listings of "Material Studied" and "Earlier Collection Recorded", specimens from the Sakimura Collection are all specified by his accession numbers, and those from the Bishop Museum Collection are marked with an asterisk.
