Received: 29 June 2020; Accepted: 11 August 2020; Published: 13 August 2020 Simple Summary: The increase of hot days with temperatures over 37 ◦C in southern China due to global warming has led to summer collapse of the alligator weed flea beetle, an introduced biological agent for the invasive alligator weed. To promote understanding of the beetle’s adaption/tolerance to hot temperatures, we obtained TRPA1, Painless, and Pyrexia, three thermosensitive transient receptor potential channel genes from the beetle, and analyzed their expression patterns across different developmental stages and hot temperatures. Their constitutive expressions were dramatically different from each other and stage-specific. As temperature increased, their expressions in eggs elevated to their peak levels at 30 or 37.5 ◦C, and then fell back to their preferred temperature levels at temperatures > their peak temperatures. These results imply that (1) they may have different and stage-specific roles in perceiving high temperatures/chemicals and mediating the corresponding responses; and (2) their expressions may be decoupled from their activation.

A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Biological Sciences University of Alaska Fairbanks August 2017 APPROVED: Pat Doak, Committee Chair Greg Breed, Committee Member Colleen Handel, Committee Member Christa Mulder, Committee Member Kris Hundertmark, Chair Department o f Biology and Wildlife Paul Layer, Dean College o f Natural Science and Mathematics Michael Castellini, Dean of the Graduate School ABSTRACT Across the Arctic, taller woody shrubs, particularly willow (Salix spp.), birch (Betula spp.), and alder (Alnus spp.), have been expanding rapidly onto tundra. 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.

WASSIM1, AND J. R. LINLEY2 Department of Zoology1, Suez University, Suez, Egypt and Florida Medical Entomology Laboratory2, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida, USA. Abstract Ultrastructure of the two forms autogenous and anautogenous eggs of Aedes (Ochlerotatus ) caspius of Egypt are described using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The eggs of the two forms are slightly boat shape with quite difference in width. Chorionic cells of the ventral surface are ultimately different in both forms in shape, width of reticulum , number and size of tubercles. The chorionic cells of the autogenous form's egg are elongate, narrow and almost curved with unusually wide, outer reticulum contain 2 - 13 large tubercles along with a few number in small size. However, the anautogenous form's egg , the chorionic cells of the ventral surface fairly distinct, very regular in outline with thin reticulum and usually hexagonal, each cell contain one or two large tubercles with many small scattered peripheral tubercles. Fine structure micrographic work of eggs of the Egyptian Ae. caspius provides new morphological evidence that both autogenous and unautogenous forms are certainly different and suggests that those forms are two distinct species. Key Words: Mosquitoes, Aedes caspius, Eggs, Scanning Electron Microscope. Introduction a group of two distinct species. They had Aedes caspius Pallas is a widely been identified as an autogenous, distributed in the Palaearctic Region where stenogamous form inhabiting brackish water its larvae were primarily halophytic, with breeding sites in coastal and inland desert occasional occurrence in fresh water areas, while an anautogenous, eurygamous (Horsfall, 1955).

Series. Scanning electron microscopy studies: the chorion of the eggs of Ambrysus (A.) attenuatus Montandon, A. (A.) acutangulus Montandon and A. (A.) stali La Rivers. Chorionic sculpturing differs interespecifically in Ambrysus Stål. The eggs of three species were examined with scanning electron microscopy, described and illustrated. Different patterns on the chorion were found in the three species. In A. acutangulus and A. stali, a rounded area with different pattern appears at the anterior pole and the design disappears near the micropyla.

    Learning from the extraordinary: How the highly derived larval eyes of the Sunburst Diving Beetle can give insights into aspects of holometabolous insect visual systems A dissertation submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy (Ph.D.) In the department of Biological Sciences of the College of Arts and Sciences 2011 by Nadine Stecher B.S., University of Rostock, 2001 M.S., University of Rostock, 2005 Committee Chair: Elke K. Buschbeck, Ph.D. Abstract Stemmata, the eyes of holometabolous insect larvae, vary greatly in number, structure and task. The stemmata of the Sunburst Diving Beetle, Thermonectus marmoratus, are among the most sophisticated. The predatory larvae have six eyes and a potentially light-sensitive spot (eye spot) adjacent to the stemmata. The forward-pointing tubular eyes Eye 1 (E1) and Eye 2 (E2) are involved in prey capture, and possess a biconvex lens, a cellular crystalline cone-like structure, and tiered retinal tissue. A distal and a proximal retina can be distinguished, which differ not only in morphology but possibly also in function. E1 has an additional retina which runs medially alongside the crystalline cone-like structure. Using transmission electron microscopic preparations, I described the ultrastructure of the retinas of the principal eyes E1 and E2. The proximal retinas are composed of photoreceptors with predominantly parallel microvilli, and neighboring rhabdomeres are oriented approximately orthogonally to each another. This rhabdomeric arrangement is typical for eyes that are polarization sensitive. A similar organization is observed in a portion of the medial retina of E1, but not in either of the distal retinas.
