CARLINI1, Alfredo E. ZURITA2 y Ángel R. MIÑO BOILINI2 Abstract: PALAEOBIOGEOGRAPHIC REVIEW OF THE XENARTHRA (MAMMALIA) FROM THE LATE PLEISTOCENE OF THE MESOPOTAMIAN REGION (ARGENTINA).- The palaeontological evidence coming from the late Pleistocene of the Mesopotamian region of Argentina suggest (based mainly in the mammal faunas) that this area is somewhat different to that of the Pampean region and middle-north of Argentina, and shows some palaeofaunistic similitude to that proceeding from the southern Brazil and western Uruguay. In this context, we make a comparative analysis of the Xenarthra palaeofauna of the late Pleistocene of the Argentinean Mesopotamia. The Xenarthra are well represented, with “tropical” and “pam- pean” taxa. In this palaeobiogeographic context, it is remarkable some probable cases of endemic species, especially among the Cingulata Glyptodontidae Neuryurini and the Tardigrada Scelidotheriinae and Mylodontinae. In addition, two of best represented Xenarthra in the pampean region (that is Megatherium Cuvier and Neosclerocalyptus Paula Couto) are almost absent in the fossil record of the Argentinean Mesopotamia. Finally (and compared with that observed in the Pampean region) the Pleistocene Glyptodontidae are mainly characterized by the genus Panochthus Burmeister and Glyptodon Owen, whose are also common in southern Brazil and western Uruguay. To conclude, it is important to remark that the Xenarthra palaeofauna is an important element to support the biogeographic differentiation of this region dur- ing, at least, the late Quaternary. The hypothetical coexistence of two great groups of taxa (“pampeans” and “brasilic”) can be explained by migratory process (mainly retractions and expansions) of the biota stimulated by the frequent cyclic climatic fluctuations occurred in the Pleistocene. Resumen: RESEÑA PALEOBIOGEOGRÁFICA DE LOS XENARTHRA (MAMMALIA) DEL PLEISTOCENO TARDÍO DE LA REGIÓN MESOPOTÁMICA (ARGENTINA).- Estudios paleontológicos efectuados en la región Mesopotámica, basados particularmente en la fauna de mamíferos del Pleistoceno tardío-Holoceno temprano (ca. 130-8 ka), muestran algunas diferencias paleofaunísticas y biogeográficas con respecto a la región Pampeana y Centro-norte de Argentina, al tiempo que manifiestan cierta vinculación con el sur de Brasil y oeste de Uruguay. En este contexto, se llevó a cabo un estudio comparativo de los Xenarthra (Mammalia) del Pleistoceno tardío de la región Mesopotámica de Argentina. En líneas generales, los Xenarthra se encuentran bien representados, con taxones de origen “pampeano” y otros de afinidades “brasílicas”. También son destacables ciertos casos de probables endemismos en los Cingulata (Glyptodontidae) y en los Tardigrada (Scelidotheriinae y Mylodontinae). En este contexto, dos de los Xenarthra de mayor frecuencia de regiAstro en la región Pampeana (Megatherium Cuvier y Neosclerocalyptus Paula Couto) están prácticamente ausentes en las unidades portadores de la Mesopotamia. Por último, del elenco pleistoceno de Glyptodontidae propio de la región Pampeana y con registros más frecuentes, aquí sólo se destacan los géneros Panochthus Burmeister y Glyptodon Owen,

  • Hymenoptera: Formicidae): Hábitos De Nidificação E Ocorrência Em Carcaça Animal
    412 May-June 2006 SCIENTIFIC NOTE Cephalotes clypeatus Fabricius (Hymenoptera: Formicidae): Hábitos de Nidificação e Ocorrência em Carcaça Animal THIAGO DE C. MORETTI E ODAIR B. RIBEIRO Depto. Parasitologia, Instituto de Biologia, Unicamp. Cidade Universitária “Zeferino Vaz”, Distrito de Barão Geraldo, C. postal 610913, 083-970, Campinas, SP Neotropical Entomology 35(3):412-415 (2006) Cephalotes clypeatus Fabricius (Hymenoptera: Formicidae): Nesting Habits and Occurrence in Animal Carcass ABSTRACT - The ecological position of the family Formicidae in animal carcasses varies from predator, when feeding on eggs, larvae and pupae of some insects to necrophagous, when the ants feed on exudates or decomposing tissues. Ants are present in human corpses subject to forensic analyses and can also be used in estimation of the post-mortem interval (PMI). Cephalotes clypeatus Fabricius is exclusively arboricolous and occurs only in the American continent. During a field study conducted in the Campus of the Universidade Estadual de Campinas, in December 2003, a laboratory mouse carcass weighing 35,9 g was placed in an iron-mesh cage, which was adequate to collect adult ants. The carcass decomposed in four days. The total of 82 specimens of C. clypeatus was collected, in the first two days of exposure. They were observed feeding on exudates, tissues of the carcass, and on Diptera larvae occurring in the carcass. This species was observed nesting in hollow branches of Senna multijuga (Rich.) H.S. Irwin & Barneby (Caesalpinaceae), which was found one-meter far from the cage. Further investigation on the biology of this Cephalotini must be performed, in order to understand the role of this species in the utilization of animal carcasses, and in the entomological succession process as well.

  • ABSTRACT We Present Here a List of the Attini Type Material Deposited In
    Volume 45(4):41-50, 2005 THE TYPE SPECIMENS OF FUNGUS GROWING ANTS, ATTINI (HYMENOPTERA, FORMICIDAE, MYRMICINAE) DEPOSITED IN THE MUSEU DE ZOOLOGIA DA UNIVERSIDADE DE SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL CHRISTIANA KLINGENBERG1,2 CARLOS ROBERTO F. B RANDÃO1 ABSTRACT We present here a list of the Attini type material deposited in the Formicidae collection of the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo (MZSP), Brazil. In total, the Attini (fungus-growing and leaf- cutting ants) collection includes types of 105 nominal species, of which 74 are still valid, whereas 31 are considered synonyms. The majority of the types in the MZSP collection are syntypes (74), but in the collection there are 4 species represented only by holotypes, 12 by holotypes and paratypes, 13 species only by paratypes, and 2 species by the lectotype and one paralectotype as well. All holotypes and paratypes refer to valid species. The aim of this type list is to facilitate consultation and to encourage further revisionary studies of the Attini genera.

  • Functional Relationship Between Skull Form and Feeding Mechanics in Sphenodon, and Implications for Diapsid Skull Development
    Functional Relationship between Skull Form and Feeding Mechanics in Sphenodon, and Implications for Diapsid Skull Development Neil Curtis1*, Marc E. H. Jones2, Junfen Shi1, Paul O’Higgins3, Susan E. Evans2, Michael J. Fagan1 1 Medical and Biological Engineering Research Group, Department of Engineering, University of Hull, Hull, United Kingdom, 2 Research Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, University College London, London, United Kingdom, 3 Hull-York Medical School, University of York, York, United Kingdom Abstract The vertebrate skull evolved to protect the brain and sense organs, but with the appearance of jaws and associated forces there was a remarkable structural diversification. This suggests that the evolution of skull form may be linked to these forces, but an important area of debate is whether bone in the skull is minimised with respect to these forces, or whether skulls are mechanically ‘‘over-designed’’ and constrained by phylogeny and development. Mechanical analysis of diapsid reptile skulls could shed light on this longstanding debate. Compared to those of mammals, the skulls of many extant and extinct diapsids comprise an open framework of fenestrae (window-like openings) separated by bony struts (e.g., lizards, tuatara, dinosaurs and crocodiles), a cranial form thought to be strongly linked to feeding forces. We investigated this link by utilising the powerful engineering approach of multibody dynamics analysis to predict the physiological forces acting on the skull of the diapsid reptile Sphenodon. We then ran a series of structural finite element analyses to assess the correlation between bone strain and skull form. With comprehensive loading we found that the distribution of peak von Mises strains was particularly uniform throughout the skull, although specific regions were dominated by tensile strains while others were dominated by compressive strains.

Ants dominate vegetation stratum, exploiting resources like extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) and insect honeydew. These interactions are frequent in Brazilian cerrado and are well known, but few studies compare ant fauna and explored resources between plant species. We surveyed two cerrado plants without EFNs, Roupala montana (found on preserved environments of our study area) and Solanum lycocarpum (disturbed ones). Ants were collected and identified, and resources on each plant noted. Ant frequency and richness were higher on R. montana (67%; 35 spp) than S. lycocarpum (52%; 26), the occurrence of the common ant species varied between them, and similarity was low. Resources were explored mainly by Camponotus crassus and consisted of scale insects, aphids, and floral nectaries on R.

Accepted 09-III-2012. Abstract: Simplification of natural habitats leads to a modification of the community associated with a host plant. Pequi trees (Caryocar brasiliense) are common to find in central Brazil, especially in the middle of mono- cultures, such as soy, corn, pasturelands or Eucalyptus plantations. On this scenario we hypothesized that habitat modification differentially affects the diversity of ants and herbivore insects associated with this species. The aim of the work was to test if C. brasiliense trees located in human modified habitats, support a lower species richness and abundance of ants, and a greater species richness and abundance of insect herbivores, compared to preserved cerrado habitats. The study was conducted in a Cerrado area located in Northern Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Ants and herbivore insects were collected monthly during 2005 using beating technique. The results showed that ant species richness was higher in pequi trees located in preserved Cerrado, followed by trees in pastureland and Eucalyptus plantation, respectively.

DUBOVIKOFF1 & JOHN T. LONGINO2 1 Department of Entomology, Faculty of Biology and Soil Sciences, Saint Petersburg State University, 7/9 Uni- versiteskaya nab., St. Petersburg, 199034, Russia, [email protected] 2 The Evergreen State College, Olympia WA 98505 USA, [email protected] Abstract Bothriomyrmex paradoxus Dubovikov and Longino sp. nov. is described from Costa Rica, based on two collections from widely separated localities. These are the first collections of the genus Bothri- omyrmex in the Americas. The genus Bothriomyrmex can be divided into Palearctic species (Both- riomyrmex s.s.) and Oriental and Australian species, based on differences in palp formula and queen wing venation. Bothriomyrmex paradoxus shares palp and wing characters with the Palearc- tic species. It is probably native to Central America and long separated from its Old World relatives. Key words: Bothriomyrmex, Formicidae, Dolichoderinae, Costa Rica Introduction The subfamily Dolichoderinae is comprised of 22 genera, the majority of which are Old World (Shattuck 1992, Bolton 2003, Brandão et al. 1999). The dolichoderine genera with significant indigenous radiations in the New World are Azteca, Dolichoderus, Dory- myrmex, Forelius, Linepithema, Liometopum, and Tapinoma. Three additional genera have been reported as rare or introduced elements. Technomyrmex, a diverse genus in the Old World, is represented in the New World by one introduced tramp species and, paradoxi- cally, one native species from Panama and Costa Rica (Wheeler 1934, Longino pers.

ABSTRACT This article presents both ethnoentomological notes on Nahuatl and Mixtec language terms as they are applied to Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) and distributional records for species collected during three projects carried out in the states of Guerrero and Puebla, Mexico. Some comparative data from other Mesoamerican and Native American languages are discussed. Indigenous common names are mapped onto current taxonomic nomenclature, and an analysis is offered of the logical basis for Indigenous classification: the exclusion of some cerambycids and the inclusion of other beetles in the nominal native “cerambycid” category. New state distributional records for the Cerambycidae collected in this study are offered for Guerrero: Bebelis picta Pascoe, Callipogon senex Dupont, Neocompsa macrotricha Martins, Olenosus ser- rimanus Bates, Ornithia mexicana zapotensis Tippmann, Stenygra histrio Audinet-Serville, Strongylaspis championi Bates, Lissonotus flavocinctus puncticollis Bates, and Nothopleurus lobigenis Bates; and Puebla: Juiaparus mexicanus (Thomson), Ptychodes guttulatus Dillon and Dillon, and Steirastoma senex White. Key Words: linguistics, etymology, Nahuatl, Mixtec, longhorned beetle, wood-borer DOI.org/10.1649/0010-065X-71.2.301 The present article emerges from two language shapes.

  • Behavioral Strategies of Phorid Parasitoids and Responses of Their Hosts, the Leaf-Cutting Ants
    Journal of Insect Science: Vol. 12 | Article 135 Elizalde and Folgarait Behavioral strategies of phorid parasitoids and responses of their hosts, the leaf-cutting ants Luciana Elizalde1,2a*, Patricia Julia Folgarait1b 1Laboratorio de Hormigas, Departamento de Ciencia y Tecnología, Universidad Nacional de Quilmes, Buenos Aires, Argentina 2Laboratorio Ecotono, Centro Regional Universitario Bariloche, Universidad Nacional del Comahue, Bariloche, Argentina Downloaded from Abstract Host-searching and oviposition behaviors of parasitoids, and defensive responses of the hosts, are fundamental in shaping the ecology of host-parasitoid interactions. In order to uncover key behavioral features for the little known interactions between phorid parasitoids (Diptera: http://jinsectscience.oxfordjournals.org/ Phoridae) and their leaf-cutting ant hosts (Formicidae: Attini), host-related behavioral strategies (i.e., host searching and oviposition) for 13 phorid species, and host defensive responses (i.e., hitchhikers and particular body postures) for 11 ant species, were studied. Data was collected at 14 localities, one of them characterized by its high species richness for this host-parasitoid system. Phorid species showed both great variation and specificity in attacking behaviors. Some chose their hosts using either an ambush or an actively searching strategy, while some species attacked ants on different body parts, and specialized on ants performing different tasks, such as when ants were foraging, removing wastes to refuse piles, or repairing the nest. Combining all by guest on June 6, 2016 the behaviors recorded, most phorid species differed in performance in at least one, making it possible to recognize species in the field through their behavior. Phorid species that attacked hosts with greater activity levels showed overall higher attack rates, although there was no significant correlation between attack rates by most phorid species and ant activity outside the nest while parasitoids were attacking.
