Carabidae) des Truppenübungsplatzes Haltern-Borkenberge (Kreise Coesfeld und Recklinghausen) - Eine vorläufige Übersicht - Heinrich Terlutter, Münster, Armin Rose, Wilhelmshaven, Klaas Reißmann, Kamp-Lintfort und Karsten Hannig, Waltrop Zusammenfassung Die Käferfauna (exkl. Laufkäfer) des Truppenübungsplatzes Haltern-Borkenberge (Krei- se Coesfeld und Recklinghausen) wurde von Juni 2001 bis Dezember 2007 mittels Bo- denfallen und durch ergänzende Handaufsammlungen erfasst. Durch diese Erfassung so- wie unter Berücksichtigung unpublizierter älterer Untersuchungen konnten insgesamt 510 Käferarten aus 57 Familien ermittelt werden. Der Anteil der Staphylinidae an der Gesamtartenzahl beträgt 42 %, gefolgt von den Dytiscidae mit 7 %. Trichohydnobius suturalis und Leiodes ciliaris werden erstmals für Nordrhein-Westfalen gemeldet, die Nachweise von Necrophorus vestigator und Leiodes rubiginosa stellen Wiederfunde für Westfalen nach über 40 Jahren dar. Die bisher festgestellten Arten dürften bedingt durch das eingeschränkte Methodenspektrum schätzungsweise 50-60 % der tatsächlichen Artenzahl darstellen. Abstract: Between June 2001 and December 2007 the beetle fauna (Insecta, Coleoptera) of the 1.800 ha sized, Haltern-Borkenberge Training Area (western North Rhine-West- phalia) has been researched through intensive day and night sampling methods. Further- more historical data were considered. In total, 510 beetle species
  • Working List of Prairie Restricted (Specialist) Insects in Wisconsin (11/26/2015)

    Working List of Prairie Restricted (Specialist) Insects in Wisconsin (11/26/2015)

    Working List of Prairie Restricted (Specialist) Insects in Wisconsin (11/26/2015) By Richard Henderson Research Ecologist, WI DNR Bureau of Science Services Summary This is a preliminary list of insects that are either well known, or likely, to be closely associated with Wisconsin’s original native prairie. These species are mostly dependent upon remnants of original prairie, or plantings/restorations of prairie where their hosts have been re-established (see discussion below), and thus are rarely found outside of these settings. The list also includes some species tied to native ecosystems that grade into prairie, such as savannas, sand barrens, fens, sedge meadow, and shallow marsh. The list is annotated with known host(s) of each insect, and the likelihood of its presence in the state (see key at end of list for specifics). This working list is a byproduct of a prairie invertebrate study I coordinated from1995-2005 that covered 6 Midwestern states and included 14 cooperators. The project surveyed insects on prairie remnants and investigated the effects of fire on those insects. It was funded in part by a series of grants from the US Fish and Wildlife Service. So far, the list has 475 species. However, this is a partial list at best, representing approximately only ¼ of the prairie-specialist insects likely present in the region (see discussion below). Significant input to this list is needed, as there are major taxa groups missing or greatly under represented. Such absence is not necessarily due to few or no prairie-specialists in those groups, but due more to lack of knowledge about life histories (at least published knowledge), unsettled taxonomy, and lack of taxonomic specialists currently working in those groups.

Medler INTRODUCTION HIS bulletin attempts to present as accurate and complete a T guide to the leafhoppers of Minnesota as possible within the limits of the material available for study. It is realized that cer- tain groups could not be treated completely because of the lack of available material. Nevertheless, it is hoped that in its present form this treatise will serve as a convenient and useful manual for the systematic and economic worker concerned with the forms of the upper Mississippi Valley. In all cases a reference to the original description of the species and genus is given. Keys are included for the separation of species, genera, and supergeneric groups. In addition to the keys a brief diagnostic description of the important characters of each species is given. Extended descriptions or long lists of references have been omitted since citations to this literature are available from other sources if ac- tually needed (Van Duzee, 1917).

Forschler Received: 27 March 2017; Accepted: 18 May 2017; Published: 25 May 2017 Abstract: The harlequin bug, Murgantia histrionica (Hahn), is an agricultural pest in the continental United States, particularly in southern states. Reliable gene sequence data are especially useful to the development of species-specific, environmentally friendly molecular biopesticides and effective biolures for this insect. Here, mRNAs were sampled from whole insects at the 2nd and 4th nymphal instars, as well as sexed adults, and sequenced using Illumina RNA-Seq technology. A global assembly of these data identified 72,540 putative unique transcripts bearing high levels of similarity to transcripts identified in other taxa, with over 99% of conserved single-copy orthologs among insects being detected.

The proportion used to accurately derive overall nitrogen fixation, as rates of of termites in the mound (above and underground sections) fixation vary among species and castes via microbes and amounts to more than 70% of the colony; the rest being pre- fungi (e.g., Matsumoto and Abe, 1979; Collins, 1983).

Baldwin, Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology, Jena, Germany, and approved August 15, 2014 (received for review October 24, 2013) Termites normally rely on gut symbionts to decompose organic levels-of-selection conflicts that need to be regulated (12).
