  • The Potential of Restored Landfill Sites to Support Pollinating Insects
    The potential of restored landfill sites to support pollinating insects Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Northampton 2009 Sam Tarrant UNIVERSITY OF NORTHAMPTON /\V £ I f c bARY i D V V 1 ACC. No. 10*54-^ CLASS N O j)gSS C1657<(o TftQ Abstract Habitat restoration is an important tool in reducing the current decline in biodiversity. To determine the success of restoration, ecologists have previously focused on species richness or on the presence of rare species; little is known of species interactions. This study examines both the potential of restored landfill sites to support pollinating insects and how flower-insect interactions can be used in determining successful restoration. These are important attributes of ecosystem function. Standard belt transects were used to record flowering insect pollinated plants and flower-visiting insects on nine paired restored landfill and reference nature sites, in the broader Northamptonshire region (UK). Over the duration of this study, an area of 25,000m2 was surveyed for floral characteristics and approximately 138,000 floral units were counted from c)8 plant species. A total of 201 flower visitor surveys were performed, with 942 flower-visiting insect samples taken. Flowering plant species richness and abundance of floral resources on restored landfill sites were not found to be significantly different from those on reference sites and the flower-visiting insect assemblages were similar in terms of species-richness and abundance. Interaction structures were examined and whilst the plant-insect assemblages had few species in common, both showed similar levels of nestedness and connectance.

Both taxa are not very closely related, but were hitherto mixed up because of their similar color- ation. The new species is endemic to the mountains of central Honshu and P. nigronotata is to be deleted from the fauna of Japan. Key words: Symphyta, sawflies, Japan, COI barcoding, relationships Introduction During an expedition to the Nagano area at Honshu, Japan, that was carried out by the first two authors together with Mr. Haruyoshi Kojima, several specimens of a very conspicuous bright green Pachyprotasis species were collected. In the field these specimens were named Pachyprotasis nigronotata, but already there it was noted that the latter species in Europe has a rather different appearance in coloration. Subsequently we noted that the species previously named nigronotata in Japan is hitherto undescribed.

  • (Siphona) Geniculata (Diptera: Tachinidae), Parasite of Tipula Paludosa (Diptera) and Other Species1
    199 ON THE LIFE HISTORY OF BUCENTES (SIPHONA) GENICULATA (DIPTERA: TACHINIDAE), PARASITE OF TIPULA PALUDOSA (DIPTERA) AND OTHER SPECIES1. BY JOHN RENNIE, D.Sc. AND CHRISTINA H. SUTHERLAND, M.A., B.Sc, Carnegie Scholar. (From the Laboratory of Parasitology, University of Aberdeen.) (With Plate XIV.) THE Dipterous Family, Tachinidae, comprises a very large number of species whose larvae live as parasites within other insects, particularly in their larval forms. Bucentes (Siphona) geniculata, one of the Tachinidae whose larvae are considered in the following paper, is a small ordinary looking fly, blackish in eolour and showing a somewhat greyish abdomen, with prominent abdominal bristles. The labium is long and slender, sharply geniculated about the middle of its length, and folded like a clasp knife under the head when not in use2. In a former paper (1912) one of us has recorded the occurrence of the larva of this species as a parasite in the body cavity of Tipula larvae. It is probably not confined to one host species. In one collection of Tipula larvae, a pro- portion of which yielded the parasite, the majority of the survivors, on hatching, proved to be Tipula oleracea. In most instances, however, we have found the infected insects to be T. paludosa. Since the original observation in 1912, we have found this larva regularly every year, and consequently regard it as a normal parasite of Tipula. Other observers record it from Mamestra brassicae and a related species, Siphona cristata, is reported by Roubaud (1906) to occur in Tipula gigantea. OCCURRENCE AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE ADULT PLY.

    Biodiversity surveys Review of the horseflies (Tabanidae) of Madagascar Theo Zeegers Eikenlaan 24, 3768 EV Soest, the Netherlands, [email protected] Keywords: Tabanidae, Madagascar, phylogeny The horseflies (Tabanidae) of Madagascar are reviewed. This review is primary based on the largest number of horseflies ever collected thanks to recent programs (more than 4000 specimens). All material in the musea of Berlin, London and Paris was studied, including the types for most species from Madagascar. So far, 75 species of Tabanidae had been reported from Madagascar. This study adds about 21 species, all new to science, and 1 revised status. Nearly all species are endemic to Madagascar. More than one-third belong to the endemic (sub)genus Triclida . Another large genus is Tabanocella , represented by at least 17 species. Both genera are associated with forests. The subfamily Pangoniinae is recorded from Madagascar for the first time. Special attention is given to the tribe Rhinomyizini, which has ‘being weird’ as a synapomorphy This tribe occurs in the Afrotropical region both on the mainland of Africa and on Madagascar. Recent authors have introduced several new genera based on features known to be plastic. Oldroyd, on the other hand, used broader concepts of genera, though he separated the genera Thriambeutes from the mainland and Orgizomyia from Madagascar mainly on geographical basis. In the present study I performed a phylogenetic analysis of the Rhynomyzini of Madagascar for the first time in order to gain a better understanding of the relations at the generic level. In this analysis, I introduce several new characters and include two very interesting new species (in the genera Orgizomyia and Seguytabanus ).

  • ARTHROPODA Subphylum Hexapoda Protura, Springtails, Diplura, and Insects
    NINE Phylum ARTHROPODA SUBPHYLUM HEXAPODA Protura, springtails, Diplura, and insects ROD P. MACFARLANE, PETER A. MADDISON, IAN G. ANDREW, JOCELYN A. BERRY, PETER M. JOHNS, ROBERT J. B.

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).
