Awal, 1997; Taeger & Blank, 2011), Their larval stages feed on plants, mostly sampling was carried out by sweep net to externally, but some species induce galls or find out more information about Symphyta. live inside fruits, or live in tunnels in wood or shoots. The larvae of Orussidae are Material and methods exceptional: they are parasitoids of wood- The study was conducted in Anguran boring insects (Smith, 1988; Viitasaari, 2002). protected area (Fig. 1), which is an area of According to previous studies, sawflies 125,000 Ha, located north-west of Zanjan include 178 species, 60 genera and 9 Province, Iran (Fig. 2).

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.

  • The Associations Between Pteridophytes and Arthropods
    FERN GAZ. 12(1) 1979 29 THE ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN PTERIDOPHYTES AND ARTHROPODS URI GERSON The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Faculty of Agriculture, Rehovot, Israel. ABSTRACT Insects belonging to 12 orders, as well as mites, millipedes, woodlice and tardigrades have been collected from Pterldophyta. Primitive and modern, as well as general and specialist arthropods feed on pteridophytes. Insects and mites may cause slight to severe damage, all plant parts being susceptible. Several arthropods are pests of commercial Pteridophyta, their control being difficult due to the plants' sensitivity to pesticides. Efforts are currently underway to employ insects for the biological control of bracken and water ferns. Although Pteridophyta are believed to be relatively resistant to arthropods, the evidence is inconclusive; pteridophyte phytoecdysones do not appear to inhibit insect feeders. Other secondary compounds of preridophytes, like prunasine, may have a more important role in protecting bracken from herbivores. Several chemicals capable of adversely affecting insects have been extracted from Pteridophyta. The litter of pteridophytes provides a humid habitat for various parasitic arthropods, like the sheep tick. Ants often abound on pteridophytes (especially in the tropics) and may help in protecting these plants while nesting therein. These and other associations are discussed . lt is tenatively suggested that there might be a difference in the spectrum of arthropods attacking ancient as compared to modern Pteridophyta. The Osmundales, which, in contrast to other ancient pteridophytes, contain large amounts of ·phytoecdysones, are more similar to modern Pteridophyta in regard to their arthropod associates. The need for further comparative studies is advocated, with special emphasis on the tropics.

To su Park prirode Kopački rit, Park prirode Lonjsko polje, Delta rijeke Neretve i Crna Mlaka. Glavni cilj specijalističkog rada je objediniti sve objavljene i neobjavljene podatke o nalazima vrsta kukaca na ova četiri močvarna staništa te kvalitativno usporediti entomofau nu pomoću Sörensonovog indexa faunističke sličnosti. Na području Parka prirode Kopački rit utvrđeno je ukupno 866 vrsta kukaca razvrstanih u 84 porodice i 513 rodova. Na području Parka prirode Lonjsko polje utvrđeno je 513 vrsta kukaca razvrstanih u 24 porodice i 89 rodova. Na području delte rijeke Neretve utvrđeno je ukupno 348 vrsta kukaca razvrstanih u 89 porodica i 227 rodova. Za područje Crne Mlake nije bilo dostupne literature o nalazima kukaca. Velika vrijednost Sörensonovog indexa od 80,85% ukazuje na veliku faunističku sličnost između faune obada Kopačkoga rita i Lonjskoga polja. Najmanja sličnost u fauni obada utvrđena je između močvarnih staništa Lonjskog polja i delte rijeke Neretve, a iznosi 41,37%.

Dans cette liste, nous avons éliminé les espèces anciennement citées (avant 1950) sans localités ni dates précises et qui n’ont pas été retrouvées dans les collections des différents musées français mais nous avons inclus les espèces nouvelles pour la France ou pour la science, dont les publications sont en cours ou sous presse.

  • Sawfly Study Group Newsletter 2
    Newsletter 2 JANUARY 2007 Editor: Guy Knight, National Museums Liverpool William Brown Street, Liverpool, L3 8EN, UK [email protected] Thank you all for the encouragement and notes contributed since the previous newsletter was sent out last spring. This issue contains a variety of articles dealing with national and local recording, conservation status, behaviour and taxonomy. I am especially pleased that some of the notes in the last issue have been followed up and enhanced by what appears in this one. Because of costs, this is the last newsletter that will be sent out as printed copies unless specifically requested, so, if you have not already done so, please let me know if you can receive it electronically or require it on paper. Best wishes for a productive new year and please continue to send any contributions to me at the address above. RECENT LITERATURE This list is not exhaustive, but highlights some key literature and websites that have come to my attention in the past year. The end of last year saw the publication of the excellent Recent Sawfly Research: Synthesis and Prospects edited by S. Blank, S. Schmidt & A. Taeger (Goecke & Evers, Keltern, ISBN 3- 937783-19-9, 704pp). The book is a collection of about 40 papers detailing recent research on European and world sawfly life history & ecology, taxonomy, faunistics and checklists as well as reviews, biographies and a CD ROM of valuable ‘historic’ literature and colour plates. Several of the papers mentioned as ‘in prep’ or ‘in press’ in the note on recent additions to the British list in the last newsletter have now been published.

Lectotypes are designated for Dolerus picinus Marlatt, 1898, D. picinus rhodogaster Zhelochovtsev, 1935, D. pseudoanticus Malaise, 1931, and D. yokohamensis Rohwer, 1925. Dolerus lucidus Freymuth, 1870 and D. purus Jakowlew, 1891 are associated with the subgenus Equidolerus and D. glabratus Wei, 2002 is transferred from Equidolerus to Dolerus s.

  • Dolerus Asper Zaddach, 1859 and Dolerus Brevicornis Zaddach, 1859 (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae), with Notes on Their Phylogeny
    Eur. J. Entomol. 101: 637–650, 2004 ISSN 1210-5759 Dolerus asper Zaddach, 1859 and Dolerus brevicornis Zaddach, 1859 (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae), with notes on their phylogeny MIKK HEIDEMAA1, MATTI NUORTEVA2, JARKKO HANTULA3 and URMAS SAARMA4 1Institute of Zoology and Hydrobiology, University of Tartu, Vanemuise 46, 51014 Tartu, Estonia, and Institute of Plant Protection, Estonian Agricultural University, Viljandi Road, Eerika, 50412 Tartu, Estonia; e-mail: [email protected] 2Alkutie 28D, FIN-00660 Helsinki, Finland 3Finnish Forest Research Institute, Vantaa Research Center, P.O.

Hymenoptera, Tenthredinidae, sawfly, Dolerus asper, D. brevicornis, D. derzavini, D. gibbosus, D. harwoodi, taxonomy, neotype, morphology, phylogeny, phenology, molecular markers, distribution Abstract. Concordant differences in morphology, phenology and RAMS markers, as well as in sequenced mtDNA (COI, COII, cytb) and nuclear DNA (ITS2) fragments, indicate that Dolerus asper Zaddach, 1859 and Dolerus brevicornis Zaddach, 1859 are valid species. On the basis of morphology, molecular markers, and distributional records, both species are distinct from Dolerus gibbosus Hartig, 1837 (= Dolerus planatus Hartig, 1837). Taxonomy of the species is clarified and the neotypes of Dolerus asper Zaddach, 1859 and Dolerus brevicornis Zaddach, 1859 are designated. The synonymies of Dolerus asper Zaddach, 1859, to Dolerus planatus Hartig, 1837 and Dolerus derzavini Malaise, 1931, spec. rev. to D. asper Zaddach, 1859 are abandoned. Dolerus carbonarius Zad- dach, 1859 and Dolerus fumosus Zaddach, 1859 are considered to be species inquirendae.

Each year we record an amazing diversity of species from the microscopic animals and plants found in our lochs to the wild flowers of the machair and the large marine mammals that visit our coastal waters.
