Phylogenetic Studies on Miniature Electrical Oscillation in Insect Muscles PHYLOGENETIC STUDIES ON MINIATURE ELECTRICAL OSCILLATION IN INSECT MUSCLES TSUTOMU WAKABAYASHI ANDKAZUO IKEDA* Depertmentof Physiology,School of Medicine,University of Tokyo,Tokyo Previously, Wakabayashi and Hagiwara (1) reported that a spontaneous irregular electrical oscillation of small size was often observed in the sound muscle of Cicadidae at rest and they supposed that it might be due to the injury caused by inserted electrodes. Hagiwara (2) reported again this irregular oscil- lation (miniature electrical oscillation) as injury discharges . In the first part of the present study an experiment was carried out to decide its nature. Fur- thermore, the oscillation was investigated in the thoracic and tymbal muscle of various insects, and the results were considered from phylogenetic point of view. MATERIALSAND METHOD Since it had been found by a preliminary experiment that miniature electrical oscillation was not observable in a muscle which does not contract so rapid as tymbal muscle, for example leg muscle, so in this study thoracic muscles (in- direct wing-muscles) of various species of insects and tymbal muscles of Cicadidae were adopted. The materials used were the several species of various orders of insect which could be caught in the suburb of Tokyo. The following species were used for the electrical activity of thoracic muscle: Odonata: Platicnemis foliacea sasakii, Calopterix virgo japonica, Mnais stri- gata, Epiophrebia sperstes, Gomphus melampus, Antogaster sie- boldii, Aeschna juncea, Anax palthenope julius, Orthetrum albitylum sPeciosum, Orthetrum triangulare melania, Orthetrum japonicum japonicum, Sympetrum darwinianum, Sympetrum frequens, Rhyo- themis foliginosa. Neuroptera: Chrysopa intima, Hagenomyia micans. Orthoptera: Tettix jaPonicus, Euprepocnemis shiraki, Locusta migratoria danica, Paratenodera sinensis. Hemiptera: Terpnosia vacua, Platypleura kaepheri, Graptopsaltria nigrofuscata, Cryptotympana japonensis, Tanna japonensis, Oncotympana macu- laticollis, Meimna opalifera. Lepidoptera: Pyrgus maculatus, Pieris rapae crucivora, Pieris melete, Eurema hecabe mandarina, Colias hyale poliographus, Neope goshkevitschii, Polygonia c-aureum, Parnassius glatiaris, Menelaides alcinosis, Received for publication June20, 1957. *若 林 勳 池田和夫 222 ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY IN INSECT MUSCLES 223 Papilio machaon, Papilio prothenor, Paj,ilio xuthus. Coleoptera: Mallambyx raddei, Melolontha japonica, Xylotrupes dichotomus, Anomala cuPrea. Hymenoptera: Ophion pungenus, Apis indica jaPonica, Vespa mandarinia, Polistes fadwigae, Parapolybia varia. Diptera: Bibiocephara infuscata, Eristalomyia tenax, Volucella jeddona, Musca domestica, Sarcophaga melanura. The following species were used for the activity of the tymbal muscle: Terpnosia vacua, Platypleura kaempheri, Graptopsaltria nigrofuscata, CryP- totym _pana jaPonensis, Tanna jaPonensis, Oncotympana maculaticollis, Meimna opalifera. The experiment was performed with an antero-posterior muscle, a dorso- ventral muscle of thorax and a tymbal muscle. In order to attach or insert the recording electordes into a muscle, a pore was made on mesothoracic, meta- thoracic notum, pleuron or abdominal segment in accordance with the structure of each species. The apparatus for extracellular recording consisted of a pair of fine silver-wire electrodes, resistance-condenser-coupled amplifier, an electro- magnetic oscillograph and a cathode-ray oscilloscope. Often for the purpose of intracellular recording, a capillary microelectrode filled with3M KCL, a direct- coupled amplifier with a cathode-follower imput and a cathode-ray oscilloscope were employed. After the extracellular recording of miniature electrical oscil- lation with a muscle innervated by thoracic ganglion, the recording by the same means was performed with the muscle which was set free from thoracic ganglion by crashing it. Moreover, with the material in which the existence of miniature electrical oscillation had already been recognized by extracellular recording, intracellular recording was made. After each recording, it was ascertained that miniature electrical oscillation was extinguished by applying alcohol to the muscle, to make sure that the miniature electrical oscillation was free from artefact. RESULTS 1. Extracellular recording of potentials of an innervated muscle Among the species which were investigated here, no miniature electrical oscillation was observed in thoracic muscles of Odonata (except Antogaster), Neurofitera, Orthofitera, Hemiptera, Lepidoptera and Coleoptera. But small elec- trical oscillation was observed, as shown in fig.1, in the dorso-ventral muscle of Antogaster. Usually it began after the cessation of an ordinary wing-beat and increased its amplitude in several seconds. It appeared, moreover, only after the wing-beat and dissappeared soon, so it looked like an afterpotential, but its form was very similar to the miniature electrical oscillation which will be described later. In some species of Diptera and Hymenoptera, the miniature electrical oscil- lation of the thoracic muscle was observed. In Diptera, miniature electrical oscillation was observed in Eristalomyia, Volucella and Musca but not in the other species. The amplitude of the minia- 224 T. WAKM3AYASHI AND K.

The discharge pattern characteristic of each species was rather irregular. In Hymenoptera, miniature electrical oscillation was observed in Vespa, Apis and Parapolybia but not in the other species. In general, the amplitude of the miniature electrical oscillation which was recorded in Hymenoptera attained up to800pV and was higher than that in Diptera. The discharge pattern of the species in this order was alike and, was similar to that of the tymbal muscle of Cicadidae. In the tymbal muscle of Cicadidae, miniature electrical oscillation was ob- tained in all species examined. It was somewhat superior to that of the thoracic muscle of Hymenoptera in amplitude and frequency. 2.

No difference of the discharge pattern was obtained between the two cases. The miniature electrical oscillations of Diptera are shown in figs.2and3; they consisted of lower amplitude than that of Hymenoptera and Cicadidae. The miniature electrical oscillations of Hymenoptera are shown in figs.4, 5, 6and7. As shown in these figures the discharge pattern of Parapolybia borders on that of Diptera. Sometimes the irregular oscillation was transformed gradually into the passable regular one concerning amplitude and frequency. Figs.6 and 7show the transformation of irregular oscillation into regular one. In most cases, this regular wave lasted for20-60seconds until it turned gradually into irregular oscillation again. Snch regular oscillations were scarcely observed in the thoracic muscle of Diptera, while they were generally observed in the ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY IN INSECT MUSCLES 227 thoracic muscle of Apis and Vespa and in the tymbal muscle of Cicadidae. During the continuation of trains of discharges it was noted that the frequency of discharges increased or decreased, and in extreme cases discharge stopped for a while (fig.7). But the cause of it could not be made clear. The miniature electrical oscillation of the tymbal muscle of Cicadidae showed FIG.8.•@ Graptopsaltria nigrofuscata (cicada)-Tymbal muscle.

    ENDOCRINE CONTROL OF VITELLOGENESIS IN BACTERICERA COCKERELLI (HEMIPTERA: TRIOZIDAE), THE VECTOR OF ‘ZEBRA CHIP’ A Dissertation by FREDDY ANIBAL IBANEZ-CARRASCO Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Cecilia Tamborindeguy Committee Members, Ginger Carney Patricia Pietrantonio Robert Coulson Head of Department, David Ragsdale August 2017 Major Subject: Entomology Copyright 2017 Freddy Ibanez-Carrasco ABSTRACT The potato psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli (Šulc), is a phloem-feeding insect with preference for Solanaceae. This insect species transmits the pathogenic bacteria ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ (Lso) the causative agent of zebra chip, an important disease of commercial potatoes in several countries worldwide. The classification of psyllids among the most dangerous vectors has promoted their study, but still many biological processes need to be investigated. As a first step towards the elucidation of vitellogenesis in B. cockerelli, two candidate vitellogenin transcripts were identified and its expression was analyzed in different life stages. Our results showed that in virgin females, BcVg1-like expression increased up to 5 days old; while mating significantly upregulated its expression in 5- and 7-day-old females and also induced oviposition. BcVg6-like transcript was expressed at similar level between females and males and it was not up-regulated by mating. To elucidate the role of juvenile hormone in B. cockerelli Vgs expression, topical applications of juvenile hormone III (JH III) were performed on virgin females, resulting in an upregulation of BcVg1-like expression and an increase in the number of mature oocytes observed in female reproductive organs.

  • Developing Biodiverse Green Roofs for Japan: Arthropod and Colonizer Plant Diversity on Harappa and Biotope Roofs
    20182018 Green RoofsUrban and Naturalist Urban Biodiversity SpecialSpecial Issue No. Issue 1:16–38 No. 1 A. Nagase, Y. Yamada, T. Aoki, and M. Nomura URBAN NATURALIST Developing Biodiverse Green Roofs for Japan: Arthropod and Colonizer Plant Diversity on Harappa and Biotope Roofs Ayako Nagase1,*, Yoriyuki Yamada2, Tadataka Aoki2, and Masashi Nomura3 Abstract - Urban biodiversity is an important ecological goal that drives green-roof in- stallation. We studied 2 kinds of green roofs designed to optimize biodiversity benefits: the Harappa (extensive) roof and the Biotope (intensive) roof. The Harappa roof mimics vacant-lot vegetation. It is relatively inexpensive, is made from recycled materials, and features community participation in the processes of design, construction, and mainte- nance. The Biotope roof includes mainly native and host plant species for arthropods, as well as water features and stones to create a wide range of habitats. This study is the first to showcase the Harappa roof and to compare biodiversity on Harappa and Biotope roofs. Arthropod species richness was significantly greater on the Biotope roof. The Harappa roof had dynamic seasonal changes in vegetation and mainly provided habitats for grassland fauna. In contrast, the Biotope roof provided stable habitats for various arthropods. Herein, we outline a set of testable hypotheses for future comparison of these different types of green roofs aimed at supporting urban biodiversity. Introduction Rapid urban growth and associated anthropogenic environmental change have been identified as major threats to biodiversity at a global scale (Grimm et al. 2008, Güneralp and Seto 2013). Green roofs can partially compensate for the loss of green areas by replacing impervious rooftop surfaces and thus, contribute to urban biodiversity (Brenneisen 2006).

  • An Appraisal of the Higher Classification of Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadoidea) with Special Reference to the Australian Fauna
    © Copyright Australian Museum, 2005 Records of the Australian Museum (2005) Vol. 57: 375–446. ISSN 0067-1975 An Appraisal of the Higher Classification of Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadoidea) with Special Reference to the Australian Fauna M.S. MOULDS Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney NSW 2010, Australia [email protected] ABSTRACT. The history of cicada family classification is reviewed and the current status of all previously proposed families and subfamilies summarized. All tribal rankings associated with the Australian fauna are similarly documented. A cladistic analysis of generic relationships has been used to test the validity of currently held views on family and subfamily groupings. The analysis has been based upon an exhaustive study of nymphal and adult morphology, including both external and internal adult structures, and the first comparative study of male and female internal reproductive systems is included. Only two families are justified, the Tettigarctidae and Cicadidae. The latter are here considered to comprise three subfamilies, the Cicadinae, Cicadettinae n.stat. (= Tibicininae auct.) and the Tettigadinae (encompassing the Tibicinini, Platypediidae and Tettigadidae). Of particular note is the transfer of Tibicina Amyot, the type genus of the subfamily Tibicininae, to the subfamily Tettigadinae. The subfamily Plautillinae (containing only the genus Plautilla) is now placed at tribal rank within the Cicadinae. The subtribe Ydiellaria is raised to tribal rank. The American genus Magicicada Davis, previously of the tribe Tibicinini, now falls within the Taphurini. Three new tribes are recognized within the Australian fauna, the Tamasini n.tribe to accommodate Tamasa Distant and Parnkalla Distant, Jassopsaltriini n.tribe to accommodate Jassopsaltria Ashton and Burbungini n.tribe to accommodate Burbunga Distant.

  • The Newsletter of the Palouse Prairie Foundation P.O
    The Newsletter of the Palouse Prairie Foundation P.O. Box 8952. Moscow, ID 83843 http://www.palouseprairie.org/ Vol. III No. 2 June 2010 The regular meeting date for the Palouse Prairie Foundation is the 1st Thursday of each month. Check the PPF website for updates and locations. Recent Field Trips On June 1, 2020 we visited the Whelan Cemetery remnant in Whitman County. This was one of Daubenmire’s sites and contains some rare Palouse plant species. See “Insects of the Palouse” below for some information on several insect species found there. The trip was led by Dave Skinner with Tim Hatten providing the information on insects. On June 5, 2010 Smoot Hill (the George E. Hudson Biological Reserve), which is under the protection and management of Washington State University, was visited. There are several Palouse Prairie remnants on the site as well as some associated ponderosa pine habitats. Tim Hatten emphasized the arthropod segment of the wildlife of the Palouse. We spent a good part of a very pleasant Saturday on this field trip and learned a lot about the insects of the Palouse. The trip was led by Tim Hatten and Dave Skinner. June 16, 2010. We went on a field trip near Troy to see Tanna Ragan’s restoration work and help inventory what germinated in this spring’s plots. Tanna is working on putting native forbs into an existing CRP grass stand to improve diversity and provide more pollinator habitat. The trip was led by Tanna Ragan and Trish Heekin. Upcoming Palouse Prairie Foundation Field Trips This is the nesting season for many of our local birds.
