  • Unexpected Diversity in Neelipleona Revealed by Molecular Phylogeny Approach (Hexapoda, Collembola)
    S O I L O R G A N I S M S Volume 83 (3) 2011 pp. 383–398 ISSN: 1864-6417 Unexpected diversity in Neelipleona revealed by molecular phylogeny approach (Hexapoda, Collembola) Clément Schneider1, 3, Corinne Cruaud2 and Cyrille A. D’Haese1 1 UMR7205 CNRS, Département Systématique et Évolution, Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, CP50 Entomology, 45 rue Buffon, 75231 Paris cedex 05, France 2 Genoscope, Centre National de Sequençage, 2 rue G. Crémieux, CP5706, 91057 Evry cedex, France 3 Corresponding author: Clément Schneider (email: [email protected]) Abstract Neelipleona are the smallest of the four Collembola orders in term of species number with 35 species described worldwide (out of around 8000 known Collembola). Despite this apparent poor diversity, Neelipleona have a worldwide repartition. The fact that the most commonly observed species, Neelus murinus Folsom, 1896 and Megalothorax minimus Willem, 1900, display cosmopolitan repartition is striking. A cladistic analysis based on 16S rDNA, COX1 and 28S rDNA D1 and D2 regions, for a broad collembolan sampling was performed. This analysis included 24 representatives of the Neelipleona genera Neelus Folsom, 1896 and Megalothorax Willem, 1900 from various regions. The interpretation of the phylogenetic pattern and number of transformations (branch length) indicates that Neelipleona are more diverse than previously thought, with probably many species yet to be discovered. These results buttress the rank of Neelipleona as a whole order instead of a Symphypleona family. Keywords: Collembola, Neelidae, Megalothorax, Neelus, COX1, 16S, 28S 1. Introduction 1.1. Brief history of Neelipleona classification The Neelidae family was established by Folsom (1896), who described Neelus murinus from Cambridge (USA).

Mahmoud *, Tarek A.A. Mohammed, Mohamed H. Yassien National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries, Invertebrates Aquaculture Lab., Egypt Available online 30 July 2013 KEYWORDS Abstract The spawning frequencies; egg capsules clusters, fecundity, growth and development of Chicoreus ramosus; larval stages of Chicoreus ramosus were studied in the laboratory. It lays clusters of egg capsules Spawning; (405 egg capsules) on four frequency times. The capsule length ranged from 19.68 to 20.28 mm. Egg capsule; The number of eggs per capsule varied from 177.8 (±3.58) to 214.3 (±1.61) egg/capsules, where Larval growth; the egg size ranged from 287 · 280.5 to 355.5 · 322 lm. The estimated fecundity of C. ramosus Red Sea was relatively high and reached about 78,748 eggs per animal throughout the spawning times. After 70 days of hatching from the egg capsules the produced larvae reached about 10.71 mm (±2.16) in length and 5.39 mm (±0.578) in width. The average daily growth rate in length was 0.103 and 0.046 mm/day in width. During the first 2 days, the growth rate was about 0.106 mm/day inside the egg capsules (they feed and nurse on the capsule fluid and on the other small eggs), then it increased to 0.137 mm/day by the 70 days of emerging from the egg capsule because they feed on other juveniles and small gastropods which were placed in the tanks.

As originally published, the work was deficient in its account of the Eastern and Northern Mythology; but with these imperfections it secured a sale in this country which proved that it more nearly supplied the want which had long been felt of a compact hand-book in this study than did any other similar work. The preface to the second English edition indicates the important additions to, and changes which have been made in, the original work.

Most species are phytophagous and have prominently patterned wings (White, 1988). So they are economically important because of the damage they may cause in fruit plantations (Merz, 2001). Other species are important agents in biological control programs against weeds (White & Elson-Harris, 1992). This family is recognized by the following characters: medium or small sized flies; vertical plate usually dose not reach midpoint of frons and carries one or more orbital bristles; antennae with glabrous or plumose arista; wings usually with a pattern consisting of brown strips and spots, costal vein with two interruptions, one before humeral vein and one at place of ending of subcostal vein; abdomen in males with five and in females with six segments visible externally (Rikhter, 1989).

Abstract: Peru is an ecologically diverse country, with 84 life zones in the Holdridge system and 18 ecological regions (including two marine). 1910 molluscan species have been recorded. The highest number corresponds to the sea: 570 gastropods, 370 bivalves, 36 cephalopods, 34 polyplacoforans, 3 monoplacophorans, 3 scaphopods and 2 aplacophorans (total 1018 species). The most diverse families are Veneridae (57spp.), Muricidae (47spp.), Collumbellidae (40 spp.) and Tellinidae (37 spp.). Biogeographically, 56 % of marine species are Panamic, 11 % Peruvian and the rest occurs in both provinces; 73 marine species are endemic to Peru. Land molluscs include 763 species, 2.54 % of the global estimate and 38 % of the South American esti- mate. The most biodiverse families are Bulimulidae with 424 spp., Clausiliidae with 75 spp. and Systrophiidae with 55 spp. In contrast, only 129 freshwater species have been reported, 35 endemics (mainly hydrobiids with 14 spp. The paper includes an overview of biogeography, ecology, use, history of research efforts and conser- vation; as well as indication of areas and species that are in greater need of study.

Universitaria, 04510 México, D. F. [email protected] Resumen. Se hace una breve evaluación de la importancia del grupo en los distintos ecosistemas. Se describen los caracteres morfológicos más distintivos, así como los biotopos donde se encuentran y su tipo de alimentación. Se hace una evaluación de la biodiversidad, encontrando que existen citados más de 700 taxa, muchos de ellos a nivel genérico, de 24 familias. Se discute su distribución geográfica por provincias biogeográficas, así como la diversidad de cada estado. Se presentan cuadros con la clasificación ecológica con ejemplos mexicanos; se indican las familias y su riqueza a nivel mundial y nacional, así como la curva acumulativa de especies mexicanas por quinquenio.
