These organs have had to respond to all the changes of form, habits and habitats of the organism, as well as to physiological differences, and it is our duty to interpret them as adaptions to function, even if we describe them in terms of morphology, the same as we have done with the mouthparts. If we do this, I beheve we shall add greatly to the strength of the foundations of our taxonomic edifice and add enormously to the superstructure" (Muir 1930). © Biodiversity Heritage Library, http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/; www.zoologicalbulletin.de; www.biologiezentrum.at 5 EINLEITUNG Die Stielaugenfliege Cyrtodiopsis whitei Curran, 1936 (Diopsidae, Diptera) (Abb.l) ist im tropischen Regenwald Malaysias beheimatet. Dort ist sie tagsüber an Bachufern zu finden, nachts versammeln sich die Tiere an geschützt herabhängenden, dünnen Pflan- zenteilen zu kleinen Schlafgesellschaften. Biologie und Verhalten von C. whitei sind in mehreren Arbeiten von Burkhardt & de la Motte (1983a, 1983b, 1985, 1986, 1987, de la Motte & Burkhardt 1983) beschrieben. Abb.l: Cyrtodiopsis whitei. Im Verhältnis zur Körperlänge sind die Augenstiele großer Männchen (links) wesentüch länger als die etwa gleich großer Weibchen (rechts). Balkenlänge 5000 ßvn. Bei der Forschung nach Ursprung und Funktion der langen, stark sexualdimorphen Augenstiele von C. whitei ist im Laufe der Jahre neben der Sehphysiologie zunehmend auch die Fortpflanzungsbiologie dieser Tiere ins Zentrum wissenschafthchen Interesses gerückt. Bereits gut untersucht ist in diesem Zusammenhang die Bildung der Schlafge- sellschaften, bei der unter anderem Konkurrenz zwischen den Männchen und weibliche Zuchtwahl eine Rolle spielen (Burkhardt & de la Motte 1987, 1988, Kotrba 1985). Die Zahl der weiblichen Schlafgenossinnen eines Männchens, wie auch die Zahl seiner Kopulationen am Schlafplatz, sind positiv mit seiner Körpergröße korreliert. Die erhöhte Kopulationsrate großer Männchen am Schlafplatz scheint allerdings unerheb- Hch, wenn man die hohe Kopulationshäufigkeit und Promiskuität bedenkt, die tagsüber bei C. w/z/Ye/'-Weibchen beobachtet wurde (s. „Kopulation"). Notwendige Voraussetzung für eine Interpretation dieser Ergebnisse ist die Kenntnis der Vorgänge bei der Sperma- übertragung und -speicherung, sowie bei der Befruchtung der Eier. © Biodiversity Heritage Library, http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/; www.zoologicalbulletin.de; www.biologiezentrum.at 6 Obwohl einigen Diopsidenarten als Reis- bzw. Maisschädlinge wirtschaftHche Bedeu- tung zukommt (Feijen 1989), ist nur wenig über ihr Reproduktionssystem bekannt. Die spärliche, aus der Literatur verfügbare Information über die Geschlechtsorgane von Diopsiden (Zusammenfassung der Literatur in Feijen 1989) konzentriert sich fast aus- schheßHch auf äußerhch sichtbare Teile und einige wenige, stark skierotisierte Teile im Körperinneren. Ebenso gibt es zwar einige Verhaltensbeobachtungen zu Kopulation und Eiablage, jedoch keinerlei Befunde über die inneren Vorgänge bei Spermatransfer und Befruchtung. Um diese Lücken zu schheßen, wurde die Morphologie des weibh- chen Reproduktionstraktes von C. whitei im Detail, sowie die Morphologie der Eier, der männhchen Geschlechtsorgane und der Spermatozoen untersucht. Die Vorgänge bei Kopulation und Eiablage wurden anhand von Verhaltensbeobachtungen und zu bestimmten Zeitpunkten während der untersuchten Verhaltenskontexte fixierten Präpa- raten rekonstruiert. Detaillierte Angaben über Morphologie und Funktion der inneren Geschlechtsorgane Hegen überhaupt erst bei wenigen acalyptraten FHegen vor. Eine umfassende Beschrei- bung des Reproduktionssystems von C whitei kann deshalb nicht nur zur Interpreta- tion des artspezifischen Fortpflanzungsverhaltens, sondern auch zum Verständnis des Reproduktionsgeschehens bei den Acalyptraten im allgemeinen beitragen. Nicht zuletzt mag sie als Ausgangspunkt dienen für zukünftige Untersuchungen im Hinblick auf die Phylogenie der acalyptraten Schizophora, indem sie Merkmale der inneren weiblichen Geschlechtsorgane aufzeigt, welche sich für eine vergleichende Untersuchung anbieten, bisher aber nicht berücksichtigt wurden. DANKSAGUNG Ich danke Herrn Professor Dr. D. Burkhardt, der mir als Doktorvater die Bearbeitung dieses fesselnden Themas ermöghchte, indem er mir Versuchstiere, Arbeitsplatz und -mittel großzügig zur Verfügung stellte. Bei ihm und den resthchen Mitghedern des Instituts für Zoologie in Regensburg fand meine Arbeit stets freundüche Unterstützung. Wertvolle Anmerkungen zum Manuskript erhielt ich vor allem von Herrn Professor Dr. Darnhofer-Demar und Herrn Dr. Tunau an der Universität Regensburg sowie Herrn Dr. Ulrich am Zoologischen Forschungsinstitut und Museum Koenig in Bonn. Schheßhch möchte ich mich bei M. Hauser {Megamerina dolium), R. Miller {Spaniocelyphus umzundusia), J. Wilkinson {Cyrtodiopsis dalmanni) und der Firma Bayer AG (Ceratitis capitata) für die Überlassung von Tiermaterial bedanken. © Biodiversity Heritage Library, http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/; www.zoologicalbulletin.de; www.biologiezentrum.at 7 MATERIAL UND METHODEN Die untersuchten Tiere entstammten einer Zucht an der Universität Regensburg. Dabei handelt es sich um Nachkommen von aus Malaysia eingeführten Tieren der Art Cyrto- diopsis whitei. Die Zucht wird alle 1 —2 Jahre durch Freilandfänge aufgefrischt. Den Verhältnissen im natürlichen Habitat entsprechend, erfolgt die Haltung der Tiere bei einer Temperatur von 24—27

[Chenopodiaceae]) fields in southern Idaho; this contrasts with the approximately equal sex ratio typically observed within fields. Peak observation of mating pairs coincided with peak diurnal abundance of flies. Volatiles released by individual male and female flies were sampled from 08:00 to 24:00 hours in the laboratory using solid-phase microextraction and analyzed using gas chromatog- raphy/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Eleven compounds were uniquely detected from males.

    F. Christian Thompson Neal L. Evenhuis and Curtis W. Sabrosky Bibliography of the Family-Group Names of Diptera Bibliography Thompson, F. C, Evenhuis, N. L. & Sabrosky, C. W. The following bibliography gives full references to 2,982 works cited in the catalog as well as additional ones cited within the bibliography. A concerted effort was made to examine as many of the cited references as possible in order to ensure accurate citation of authorship, date, title, and pagination. References are listed alphabetically by author and chronologically for multiple articles with the same authorship. In cases where more than one article was published by an author(s) in a particular year, a suffix letter follows the year (letters are listed alphabetically according to publication chronology). Authors' names: Names of authors are cited in the bibliography the same as they are in the text for proper association of literature citations with entries in the catalog. Because of the differing treatments of names, especially those containing articles such as "de," "del," "van," "Le," etc., these names are cross-indexed in the bibliography under the various ways in which they may be treated elsewhere. For Russian and other names in Cyrillic and other non-Latin character sets, we follow the spelling used by the authors themselves. Dates of publication: Dating of these works was obtained through various methods in order to obtain as accurate a date of publication as possible for purposes of priority in nomenclature. Dates found in the original works or by outside evidence are placed in brackets after the literature citation.

  • Western Riverside County MSHCP Biological Monitoring Program Arthropod 2018 Pilot Study Protocol
    Arthropod 2018 Pilot Study Protocol Western Riverside County MSHCP Biological Monitoring Program Arthropod 2018 Pilot Study Protocol INTRODUCTION The Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan covers two insect species, one of which is the federally endangered Delhi sands flower-loving fly (Delhi fly, Rhaphiomidas terminatus abdominalis). To date, conservation of the species within the Plan Area has only occurred within the Jurupa Hills Core Area (Teledyne site); therefore, this site must be able to support a healthy population of the Delhi fly. We will collect data regarding the food resources of larval Delhi fly, a stage which may last two years or longer depending on availability of food, temperature, rainfall, and other environmental conditions (USFWS 1997). These data will be coupled with environmental data collected via an on-site HOBO weather station and vegetation surveys to infer the quality of the Delhi sand dunes at Teledyne (Hulton et al. 2013). This survey is designed to provide researchers with information that could be used to improve the Delhi fly’s habitat and resource availability. By randomly placing arthropod pitfall traps across the site, we can collect more specific data on co-occurring arthropod species than the Delhi sands flower-loving fly surveys can provide alone in order to meet the goals and objectives listed below. Goals and Objectives 1. Gather data regarding co-occurring arthropod species within Core Areas. a. Use the data to track the relative abundance and richness of the arthropod community, which the predacious Delhi fly larvae presumably utilize as a food resource (Ken Osborne, consultant, personal communication).

  • NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION Information Bulletin #2
    Indiana Register NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION Information Bulletin #2 (Eighth Amendment) December 1, 2017 SUBJECT: Roster of Indiana Animals, Insects, and Plants that are Extirpated, Endangered, Threatened, or Rare (also described as Special Concern). I. HISTORY The initial roster was published February 1, 1992 (15 IR 848), republished April 1, 1991 (15 IR 1312); and subsequently amended to include additional species and published on February 1, 2005 (28 IR 1581). Since 2005, revisions have been made to several of the endangered species lists. The term "special concern" replaced the references to "rare" as it relates to wild animals and is expanded to include species in a legal status transition. Federal funding is available for species that are endangered or of special concern. In the fourth amendment, posted at 20070815-IR-312070469NRA on August 15, 2007, "rare", "threatened", and "extirpated" classifications for insect species were retained. Classification definitions were added for vascular plant species. In this document, species are reclassified and scientific names were modified. In the fifth amendment, posted at 20120125-IR-312120047NRA on January 25, 2012, the listing for endangered reptiles and amphibians was modified. Notable was removal of the American bald eagle from the endangered species list. Some species removed from the endangered list were redesignated as "special concern". Amendments were made to use scientific names that are consistent with those for species of animals listed in 312 IAC 9. In the sixth amendment, posted at 20140129-IR-312140023NRA on January 29, 2014, the listing for endangered birds, mollusks, insects, and vascular plants was modified. Notable was the removal of the peregrine falcon from the endangered species list.

    ABSTRACT WALLACE, CHARLES REID. A Molecular and Morphological Analysis of Ulidiidae (Diptera: Tephritoidea). (Under the direction of Brian M. Wiegmann). Ulidiidae (Diptera: Tephritoidea) is a relatively small family of true flies, called the “picture-winged flies” for their patterned wings. Its relationship to the other members of Tephritoidea, and its monophyly, has been well established, through both morphological and molecular analysis. Its subfamilial relationships, however, have received limited molecular analysis, having had a significant cross-section of the family’s taxa represented in only two molecular studies (Galinskaya et al. 2014, Han and Ro 2016). The most contemporary treatment of the classification of the family is by Kamenev and Korneyev (2006), according to which the Ulidiidae is divided into two subfamilies (Otitinae, Ulidiinae), each of which is further delineated into tribes (Cephaliini, Myennidini, Otitini; Lipsanini, Pterocallini, Seiopterini, Ulidiini, respectively), with an additional incertae sedis group of genera within the Otitinae. These classifications are based solely on morphological analysis, and there remain multiple outstanding questions of the placement and monophyly regarding the tribes or several large, diverse, or enigmatic genera. Here, using the next-generation sequencing method of anchored hybrid enrichment, I investigate the phylogeny of Ulidiidae with particular attention paid to the constituency and monophyly of hypothesized tribes, monophyly of the two sub-families, and placement of genera. Through maximum likelihood analysis, my results establish strong support for the separation of Ulidiidae into two monophyletic subfamilies, but challenges the assignment of Myennidini to the Ulidiidae, and potentially of Seiopterini to the Ulidiinae. It additionally suggests the paraphyly of the tribe Pterocallini with respect to both Myennidini and Lipsanini, but supports the monophyly of all other tribes.
