Sandidge 1 Abstract The Community Ecology of Ants (Formicidae) in Indonesian Grasslands with Special Focus on the Tropical Fire Ant, Solenopsis geminata. by Rebecca L. Sandidge Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science Policy and Management, Berkeley Professor Neil Tsutsui, Chair Invasive species and habitat destruction are considered to be the leading causes of biodiversity decline, signaling declining ecosystem health on a global scale. Ants (Formicidae) include some on the most widespread and impactful invasive species capable of establishing in high numbers in new habitats. The tropical grasslands of Indonesia are home to several invasive species of ants. Invasive ants are transported in shipped goods, causing many species to be of global concern. My dissertation explores ant communities in the grasslands of southeastern Indonesia. Communities are described for the first time with a special focus on the Tropical Fire Ant, Solenopsis geminata, which consumes grass seeds and can have negative ecological impacts in invaded areas. The first chapter describes grassland ant communities in both disturbed and undisturbed grasslands.

Pešić: 30 January 2021 │ Published online 8 February 2021. Abstract The Lichadonisia island group is located between Maliakos and the North Evian Gulf, in central Greece. Lichadonisia is one of the few volcanic island groups of Greece, consisting mainly of lava flows. Today the islands are uninhabited with high numbers of visitors, but permanent population existed for many decades in the past. Herein, we present for the first time the land snail fauna of the islets and we compare their species richness with islands of similar size across the Aegean Sea. This group of small islands, provides a typical example on how human activities in the current geological era, i.e., the Anthropocene, alter the natural communities and differentiate biogeographical patterns.

Notes on the color of Florida has a depauparate slug fauna, having the mucus secreted by the living slug would be only three native species which belong to three helpful in identification. different families. Eleven species of exotic slugs have been intercepted by USDA and DPI quarantine Biology inspectors, but only one is known to be established. Some of these, such as the gray garden slug Slugs are hermaphroditic, but often the sperm (Deroceras reticulatum Müller), spotted garden slug and ova in the gonads mature at different times (Limax maximus L.), and tawny garden slug (Limax (leading to male and female phases). Slugs flavus L.), are very destructive garden and greenhouse commonly cross fertilize and may have elaborate pests. Therefore, constant vigilance is needed to courtship dances (Karlin and Bacon 1961). They lay prevent their establishment. Some veronicellid slugs gelatinous eggs in clusters that usually average 20 to are becoming more widely distributed (Dundee 30 on the soil in concealed and moist locations. Eggs 1977). The Brazilian Veronicella ameghini are round to oval, usually colorless, and sometimes (Gambetta) has been found at several Florida have irregular rows of calcium particles which are localities (Dundee 1974). This velvety black slug absorbed by the embryo to form the internal shell should be looked for under boards and debris in (Karlin and Naegele 1958).

Environmental monitoring regularly detects neonicotinoids at concentrations that may cause negative impacts on molluscs. The toxicity of neonicotinoids to some non-target invertebrates has been established; however, informa- tion on mollusc species is limited. Molluscs are likely to be exposed to various concentrations of neonicotinoids in the soil, food and water, which could increase their vulnerability to other sources of mortality and cause accidental exposure of other organisms higher in the food chain. This review examines the impacts of various concentrations of neonicotinoids on molluscs, including behavioural, physiological and biochemical responses. The review also identifies knowledge gaps and provides recommendations for future studies, to ensure a more comprehensive understanding of impacts from neonicotinoid exposure to molluscs.

  • Fact Sheet October 2019
    Fact sheet October 2019 Singapore ants (Trichomyrmex destructor) Summary Singapore ants (Trichomyrmex destructor) are an introduced species to Australia and are mainly a pest in north Western Australia. However during summer, these ants have caused problems in the Perth area. Where are they found? Singapore ants have become well adapted to living with humans. In infested areas these ants can be found outside and throughout the home, foraging for sugar, fat and protein rich food. Damage These ants can chew through fabric, insulation and rubber goods, causing damage to homes, cars and electrical appliances Treatment Granular baits containing hydramethylnon are recommended for control and are registered for Singapore ants. These products can be purchased from garden centres, hardware stores and agricultural chemical retailers. Read label and apply as directed. Watch out! Ants are often difficult to identify! There are a number of ants that have not established in Western Australia, but could significantly impact our outdoor lifestyle and WA’s agricultural industries and environment. See overleaf for reportable species! Page 1 of 2 Exotic ant threats to WA Under the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Act 2007 (BAM Act) the introduction of these ants into WA is prohibited and any suspect sightings must be reported. Below are a few species we are particularly concerned about. Browsing ant (Lepisiota frauenfeldi) Native to southern Europe, they thrive in a Mediterranean climate and are ideally suited to Australian conditions. These aggressive ants form multi-queened super-colonies, quickly reaching very high populations and displacing native ant species and other invertebrates. They are also a significant horticultural and domestic pest.

    Purdue University Name of Student: Department of Entomology Sean Tormoehlen Undergraduate Capstone Project Summary Name of Mentor: Dr. Matthew Ginzel Project Title: Seasonal flight activity of scolytine beetles associated with black walnut Introduction: Black walnut (Juglans nigra) is an important hardwood species in the Eastern United States because of its role in the environment and the contributions it makes to the economy. Black walnut trees help to reduce soil erosion and they provide a rich food source for a variety of wildlife including birds and squirrels. They are also known to produce juglone, an allelochemical, which suppresses growth of plants around the tree and alters fauna (Virginia Cooperative Extension). Black walnut is an important economical resource because of its desirable wood qualities and nut production. It is used in a wide variety of wood products including furniture, veneer, plywood panels, and gunstocks. These products bring in $21.4 million into Indiana’s economy annually and $325 million through annual U.S. exports. It is projected that the estimated value of black walnut in its native range is $569 billion (USFS 2002). Black Walnut trees are currently being challenged by thousand cankers disease. This disease is caused by a fungus, (Geosmithia morbida), that is associated with the walnut twig beetle (Pityophthorus juglandis). The main symptoms of thousand cankers disease are small cankers underneath the bark, on branches and the trunk, entry holes from the walnut twig beetle, and branch death (USDA Forest Service, 2013). Infection occurs when an adult walnut twig beetle emerges from a symptomatic tree and flies to a new black walnut tree where it bores into the bark introducing the fungus.
