  • ELIZABETH LOCKARD SKILLEN Diversity of Parasitic Hymenoptera
    ELIZABETH LOCKARD SKILLEN Diversity of Parasitic Hymenoptera (Ichneumonidae: Campopleginae and Ichneumoninae) in Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Eastern North American Forests (Under the direction of JOHN PICKERING) I examined species richness and composition of Campopleginae and Ichneumoninae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) parasitoids in cut and uncut forests and before and after fire in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee (GSMNP). I also compared alpha and beta diversity along a latitudinal gradient in Eastern North America with sites in Ontario, Maryland, Georgia, and Florida. Between 1997- 2000, I ran insect Malaise traps at 6 sites in two habitats in GSMNP. Sites include 2 old-growth mesic coves (Porters Creek and Ramsay Cascades), 2 second-growth mesic coves (Meigs Post Prong and Fish Camp Prong) and 2 xeric ridges (Lynn Hollow East and West) in GSMNP. I identified 307 species (9,716 individuals): 165 campoplegine species (3,273 individuals) and a minimum of 142 ichneumonine species (6,443 individuals) from 6 sites in GSMNP. The results show the importance of habitat differences when examining ichneumonid species richness at landscape scales. I report higher richness for both subfamilies combined in the xeric ridge sites (Lynn Hollow West (114) and Lynn Hollow East (112)) than previously reported peaks at mid-latitudes, in Maryland (103), and lower than Maryland for the two cove sites (Porters Creek, 90 and Ramsay Cascades, 88). These subfamilies appear to have largely recovered 70+ years after clear-cutting, yet Campopleginae may be more susceptible to logging disturbance. Campopleginae had higher species richness in old-growth coves and a 66% overlap in species composition between previously cut and uncut coves.

  • 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.

  • Arthropods of Elm Fork Preserve
    Arthropods of Elm Fork Preserve Arthropods are characterized by having jointed limbs and exoskeletons. They include a diverse assortment of creatures: Insects, spiders, crustaceans (crayfish, crabs, pill bugs), centipedes and millipedes among others. Column Headings Scientific Name: The phenomenal diversity of arthropods, creates numerous difficulties in the determination of species. Positive identification is often achieved only by specialists using obscure monographs to ‘key out’ a species by examining microscopic differences in anatomy. For our purposes in this survey of the fauna, classification at a lower level of resolution still yields valuable information. For instance, knowing that ant lions belong to the Family, Myrmeleontidae, allows us to quickly look them up on the Internet and be confident we are not being fooled by a common name that may also apply to some other, unrelated something. With the Family name firmly in hand, we may explore the natural history of ant lions without needing to know exactly which species we are viewing. In some instances identification is only readily available at an even higher ranking such as Class. Millipedes are in the Class Diplopoda. There are many Orders (O) of millipedes and they are not easily differentiated so this entry is best left at the rank of Class. A great deal of taxonomic reorganization has been occurring lately with advances in DNA analysis pointing out underlying connections and differences that were previously unrealized. For this reason, all other rankings aside from Family, Genus and Species have been omitted from the interior of the tables since many of these ranks are in a state of flux.

Desde que en el siglo XVII el italiano Marcelo Malpighi (Crevalcore, 1628 - Roma, 1694) descubriera la relación causa-efecto entre un insecto y su agalla, numerosos naturalistas y científicos han centrado sus esfuerzos en estas estructuras vegetales, hasta hacer de la Cecidología (Ciencia que se ocupa del estudio de las agallas de las plantas) una ciencia de ámbito multidisciplinar que se asienta en estudios ecológicos, morfológicos y estructurales, etiológicos, taxonómicos, faunísticos, histológicos, fisiológicos, genéticos, etc. En este estudio se hará un repaso de que son las agallas y de los distintos estudios que pueden realizarse a partir de las agallas producidas por los Cynipidae (Hymenoptera). Palabras Clave: agallas, encinos, ecosistema, estudios. The oak galls: a miniature ecosystem which makes possible multidisciplinary studies ABSTRACT. Since the Italian Marcelo Malpighi (Crevalcore, 1628 - Roma, 1694) discovered the cause and effect relationship between an insect and its gall in the XVII century, many naturalists and scientists have focused their efforts in these plant structures to make for the Cecidology (science that deals with the study of plants galls) a multidisciplinary science based on different branches: ecologic, morphological, structural, etiologic, taxonomic, faunistic, histologic, physiologic, genetic, etc. In this work a review of what the galls are and the diverse studies which can be carried out from the Cynipidae (Hymenoptera) galls is made. Key words: galls, oaks, ecosystem, studies.

  • Ichneumon Sub-Families This Page Describes the Different Sub-Families of the Ichneumonidae
    Ichneumon Sub-families This page describes the different sub-families of the Ichneumonidae. Their ecology and life histories are summarised, with references to more detailed articles or books. Yorkshire species from each group can be found in the Yorkshire checklist. An asterix indicates that a foreign-language key has been translated into English. One method by which the caterpillars of moths and sawflies which are the hosts of these insects attempt to prevent parasitism is for them to hide under leaves during the day and emerge to feed at night. A number of ichneumonoids, spread through several subfamilies of both ichneumons and braconids, exploit this resource by hunting at night. Most ichneumonoids are blackish, which makes them less obvious to predators, but colour is not important in the dark and many of these nocturnal ones have lost the melanin that provides the dark colour, so they are pale orange. They have often developed the large-eyed, yellowish-orange appearance typical of these nocturnal hunters and individuals are often attracted to light. This key to British species is a draft: http://www.nhm.ac.uk/resources-rx/files/keys-for-nocturnal-workshop-reduced-109651.pdf Subfamily Pimplinae. The insects in this subfamily are all elongate and range from robust, heavily- sculptured ichneumons to slender, smooth-bodied ones. Many of them have the 'normal' parasitoid life-cycle (eggs laid in or on the host larvae, feeding on the hosts' fat bodies until they are full- grown and then killing and consuming the hosts) but there are also some variations within this subfamily.

Ecology of aquatic and semi-aquatic Lepidoptera Krzysztof Pabis* Department of Invertebrate Zoology and Hydrobiology, University of Lodz, Banacha 12/16, 90-237 Lodz, Poland Abstract – This paper reviews the current knowledge on the ecology of aquatic and semi-aquatic moths, and discusses possible pre-adaptations of the moths to the aquatic environment. It also highlights major gaps in our understanding of this group of aquatic insects. Aquatic and semi-aquatic moths represent only a tiny fraction of the total lepidopteran diversity. Only about 0.5% of 165,000 known lepidopterans are aquatic; mostly in the preimaginal stages. Truly aquatic species can be found only among the Crambidae, Cosmopterigidae and Erebidae, while semi-aquatic forms associated with amphibious or marsh plants are known in thirteen other families. These lepidopterans have developed various strategies and adaptations that have allowed them to stay under water or in close proximity to water. Problems of respiratory adaptations, locomotor abilities, influence of predators and parasitoids, as well as feeding preferences are discussed. Nevertheless, the poor knowledge on their biology, life cycles, genomics and phylogenetic relationships preclude the generation of fully comprehensive evolutionary scenarios.

Victoria, Tamaulipas, México *Corresponding author: [email protected] (J.V. Horta-Vega) Received: 17 August 2017; accepted: 02 April 2018 Abstract The structure of Ichneumonidae communities in a mangrove area and 2 nearby locations with different vegetation types are described. The study area is located within the limits of the Nearctic and Neotropical regions in the southern part of the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico. Samples were collected with a Malaise trap at each site over a one-year period. We estimated the potential species richness with the Clench model, the Simpson and Shannon-Wiener diversity indexes and the possible differences among communities at different sites using Permanova multivariate analysis. The relative degrees of influence of space, time, and biogeographical distribution on the community structures of ichneumonid wasps were determined using multiple correspondence analyses. Our results showed that the mangrove area had the highest potential species richness, and that there were significant differences among the 3 ichneumonid communities.
