Coleoptera: Elateridae) of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba
87 Chapter 2 Click Beetles and Wireworms (Coleoptera: Elateridae) of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba Willem G. van Herk and Robert S. Vernon Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, 6947 #7 Hwy, Agassiz, British Columbia Email: [email protected] Abstract. This chapter describes the Elateridae of Alberta (144 species), Saskatchewan (108 species), and Manitoba (109 species). It provides current names for species, as well as synonymized names that persist in the literature. Also discussed are the species that have been left out during recent changes to elaterid renaming and classification, although no new name combinations are given. The chapter outlines species distributions, biogeography where known, and the life histories of five common species: Aeolus mellillus (Say), Agriotes mancus (Say), Hypnoidus bicolor (Eschscholtz), Limonius californicus (Mannerheim), and Selatosomus aeripennis destructor (Brown). An examination of the seasonal movements and activity of larvae in response to soil temperature and moisture and moulting cycles is followed by an overview of past research on Prairie Province species. The chapter concludes with a discussion of current research needs and management issues. Résumé. Le présent chapitre décrit les Elateridae de l’Alberta (138 espèces), de la Saskatchewan (76 espèces) et du Manitoba (104 espèces). Il fournit les noms actuels de ces espèces, ainsi que les synonymes qui persistent dans la documentation spécialisée. Il se penche également sur les espèces qui ont été laissées de côté lors des récents changements apportés à la nomenclature et à la classification des élatéridés, sans toutefois s’attarder aux nouvelles combinaisons de noms. Le chapitre décrit la répartition des espèces, leur caractéristiques biogéographiques — lorsqu’elles sont connues — ainsi que le cycle de vie de cinq espèces communes : Aeolus mellillus (Say), Agriotes mancus (Say), Hypnoidus bicolor (Eschscholtz), Limonius californicus (Mannerheim), et Selatosomus aeripennis destructor (Brown).

Partial Mowing of Urban Lawns Supports Higher Abundances and Diversities of Insects
Journal of Insect Conservation https://doi.org/10.1007/s10841-021-00331-w ORIGINAL PAPER Partial mowing of urban lawns supports higher abundances and diversities of insects Jennifer Wintergerst1 · Tommy Kästner2 · Manuela Bartel3 · Christian Schmidt3 · Matthias Nuss3 Received: 11 December 2020 / Accepted: 4 June 2021 © The Author(s) 2021 Abstract Within the citizen science project “Flowering meadows for Saxonian butterfies”, more than 640 meadows are partially and at maximum three times annually mowed in order to change urban lawns into habitats for insects. In 2019, insect diversity was evaluated using the 100 sweep net technique during fve visits at nine butterfy meadows (BM) and nine intensively mowed lawns (IML). The mean arthropod biomass of these fve visits per site is signifcantly higher on BM compared to IML. All adult individuals of Apidae, Coleoptera, Heteroptera, Orthoptera, Papilionoidea as well as Asilidae and Syrphidae have been identifed morphologically, revealing 260 species from all study sites. The mean number of species per visit is signifcantly higher on BM compared to IML. 90 species are recorded as larva and the mean number of species per visit is signifcantly higher on BM compared to IML. 42 species are recorded as larva as well as adult. The records of larvae provide evidence for reproduction on the meadows. Implications for insect conservation Our results clearly demonstrate that a reduced mowing frequency together with an always partial mowing of the area support higher biomass, abundances and diversities of insects as well as reproduction of insects on urban lawns. Therefore, reduced mowing frequency together with partial mowing is recommended for urban lawns as well as meadows in the countryside and conservation areas to foster insect diversity.

Negastrius exiguus (Ran- dall) is removed from the faunal list and Agriotes pubescens Melsheimer is re-instated as a member of the New Brunswick fauna. Agriotes pubescens Melsheimer, Dalopius brevicornis W. J. Brown, Danosoma obtec- tum (Say) and Megapenthes solitarius Fall are newly reported for the Maritime provinces. Collection data, bionomic data, and distribution maps are presented for all these species. Keywords Elateridae, new records, Canada, New Brunswick Introduction The Elateridae (click beetles) is a species-rich family of beetles with about 965 named species in North America (Johnson 2002) and 369 species and subspecies from Canada and Alaska (Bousquet 1991). Although some groups are fairly well known taxonomi- cally, genera such as Ampedus and Dalopius are in need of revisionary study and include a number of undescribed species (Johnson 2002).
