The SBE meeting 2021's Book of Abstracts Edited by the SBE meeting 2021's organizing committe June, 2021 DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4904236 II Virtual Meeting of Systematics, Biogeography, and Evolution: The Research of Biodiversity and the Diversity of Researchers www.sbemeeting.com June 19{23, 2021 Time Zone: UTC-4 License: Creative Commons License 4.0 CC-BY-NC-SA DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4904236 ii About The I Meeting of Systematics, Biogeography, and Evolution (SBE) occurred from July 28 to July 30, 2020. The theme of the first meeting was A Joint Effort in the Coronavirtual Era (see https://sbemeeting.weebly.com/). This abstracts book contains the abstracts of the second SBE meeting, from June 19 to 23, 2021. Our 2021's theme is The Research of Biodiversity and the Diversity of Researchers. Although the themes changed, our primary purposes remained the same. First, to provide a high-quality international scientific meeting on systematics, biogeography, and evolution. Second, to make the event accessible to people that could have difficulty attend- ing other international scientific events due to financial constraints or the COVID-19 pandemic. Third, to promote diversity and gender equality in science, technology, agron- omy, mathematics, and medicine (STEAMM). Come celebrate the richness of variety! www.sbemeeting.com iii iv Sponsors, Supporters, and Collaborators The SBE Meeting 2021 is made possible thanks to our sponsors, supporters and collaborators.

For its optimal development, everyone is asked to comply with the following code of conduct: • Always use an appropriate and respectful vocabulary with the interlocutor. Behaviors, verbal expressions, or images that may be considered intimidating, vexatious, discriminatory, violent, abusive, derogatory, xenophobic, racist, or hate promoting against any person, religion, gender, or sexual orientation will not be tolerated, nor any other action tending to affect the dignified treatment deserved by every individual who participates in the virtual spaces of the SBE. • Turn off microphones and cameras throughout the presentations. The only people allowed to speak are the hosts, moderators, and exhibitors. Assistants are allowed to speak during the allotted question time, at the end of each presentation. • Respect the request of those who express their disagreement on being pho- tographed, filmed, named, quoted, among other possible actions. • Do not publish others' private information, such as physical or email address, without their explicit permission • Exhibitors must review that the material they present, in any type of partici- pation, is not offensive. • The debate must be conducted in a formal tone and language. At no time should deliberate intimidation, ad hominem attacks, or trolling be carried out. • The chat of the presentation platform must be used respectfully. Interactions through this chat must be kept to a minimum to facilitate the management of questions and the organization of each symposium. Attendees, as well as exhibitors, will have the opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas of greater length and complexity in the chat rooms of the Discord platform, enabled by the organization of the meeting. Those who do not comply with this code will be warned by the organizing com- mittee of the SBE and, given the persistence of the indicated abusive behavior, they will be excluded from the virtual common spaces temporarily or permanently, de- pending on the severity of the infractions, as determined by the meeting organizers. ix x Contents About iii Sponsors, Supporters, and Collaborators v The SBE Meeting 2021's Organizing Committee vii Code of Conduct ix Diversity and Inclusion in STEAMM 1 Diversity, equity, and inclusion: An everyone issue (Moreau C.S.) . 2 Possible paths to a more diverse and inclusive STEAMM (Diele-Viegas L.M.) 2 Surfacing anti-Black science and building antiracist teams (Caicedo H.) . 2 The implicit bias and gender inequalities in science (Oliveira L.) . 3 The parent in science movement in Brazil (Staniscuaski F.)......... 5 Making science more inclusive for LGBTQIA+ individuals (Weber G.) . 5 Questioning the biological basis of sex and gender differences (Puixeu Sala G.)..................................... 5 SOL Seminars Online and ARG Plant Women: two initiatives to increase diversity in Plant Sciences (Deanna R.)................. 6 Paleobiodiversity and Evolution 7 Is there evidence of the link between Triassic climatic and biotic events in western Gondwana?

Pheromone receptor Consistent with a role of mating type in mediating cytoplasmic-nuclear genomic conflict, Agaricomycetes have evolved away from a haploid yeast phase towards hyphal fusions that display reciprocal nuclear migration after mating rather than cytoplasmic fusion. Importantly, the evolution of this mating behavior is precisely timed with the onset of diversification of mating type alleles at the pheromone/receptor mating type loci that are known to control reciprocal nuclear migration during mating.
  • The Beetle Fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and Distribution

    The Beetle Fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and Distribution

    INSECTA MUNDI, Vol. 20, No. 3-4, September-December, 2006 165 The beetle fauna of Dominica, Lesser Antilles (Insecta: Coleoptera): Diversity and distribution Stewart B. Peck Department of Biology, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6, Canada stewart_peck@carleton. ca Abstract. The beetle fauna of the island of Dominica is summarized. It is presently known to contain 269 genera, and 361 species (in 42 families), of which 347 are named at a species level. Of these, 62 species are endemic to the island. The other naturally occurring species number 262, and another 23 species are of such wide distribution that they have probably been accidentally introduced and distributed, at least in part, by human activities. Undoubtedly, the actual numbers of species on Dominica are many times higher than now reported. This highlights the poor level of knowledge of the beetles of Dominica and the Lesser Antilles in general. Of the species known to occur elsewhere, the largest numbers are shared with neighboring Guadeloupe (201), and then with South America (126), Puerto Rico (113), Cuba (107), and Mexico-Central America (108). The Antillean island chain probably represents the main avenue of natural overwater dispersal via intermediate stepping-stone islands. The distributional patterns of the species shared with Dominica and elsewhere in the Caribbean suggest stages in a dynamic taxon cycle of species origin, range expansion, distribution contraction, and re-speciation.

Bernt Maxwell J. Bernt , Aaron H. Fronk , Kory M. Evans 2 [email protected] and James S. Albert From a study of morphological and molecular datasets we determine that a species originally described as Sternarchogiton preto does not form a monophyletic group with the other valid species of Sternarchogiton including the type species, S. nattereri. Previously-published phylogenetic analyses indicate that this species is sister to a diverse clade comprised of six described apteronotid genera. We therefore place it into a new genus diagnosed by the presence of three cranial fontanels, first and second infraorbital bones independent (not fused), the absence of an ascending process on the endopterygoid, and dark brown to black pigments over the body surface and fins membranes. We additionally provide Submitted November 13, 2019 a redescription of this enigmatic species with an emphasis on its osteology, and Accepted February 2, 2020 by provide the first documentation of secondary sexual dimorphism in this species.

    Mini Data Sheet on Agrilus Fleischeri

    EPPO, 2019 Mini data sheet on Agrilus fleischeri Agrilus fleischeri was added to the EPPO A2 List in 2019. A full datasheet will be prepared, in the meantime you can view here the data which was previously available from the EPPO Alert List (added to the EPPO Alert List in 2018 – deleted in 2019). Agrilus fleischeri (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) Why: Agrilus fleischeri (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) is an Asian wood borer of poplars (Populus spp.). In parts of China (e.g. Liaoning province), A. fleischeri has become a destructive pest causing tree mortality in poplar plantations, in particular on Populus nigra var. italica (Lombardy poplar). Considering the importance of poplar in the EPPO region, and the fact that its wood is commonly used to make pallets, the NPPO of the United Kingdom suggested the addition of A. fleischeri to the EPPO Alert List. Where: A. fleischeri originates from East Asia. EPPO region: Kazakhstan, Russia (Eastern Siberia, Far East). Asia: China (Beijing, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Liaoning, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Tianjin), Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu), Kazakhstan, Korea (Dem. People's Republic of), Korea (Republic of), Mongolia, Russia (Eastern Siberia, Far East). On which plants: Populus species, including Populus davidiana (Korean aspen), P. laurifolia (laurel-leaf poplar), Populus nigra var. italica (Lombardy poplar) and P. sieboldi (Japanese aspen). In the literature, Salix spp. (willows) are recorded as hosts but no data on damage could be found in the literature. Records of A. fleischeri on Quercus spp. are considered erroneous. In China, the two most common poplar species used in plantations are P. davidiana (native to China) and P. nigra var.
