    Terrestrial Arthropod Survey of Hālona Valley, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Naval Magazine Lualualei Annex, August 2020–November 2020 Neal L. Evenhuis, Keith T. Arakaki, Clyde T. Imada Hawaii Biological Survey Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96817, USA Final Report prepared for the U.S. Navy Contribution No. 2021-003 to the Hawaii Biological Survey EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Bishop Museum was contracted by the U.S. Navy to conduct surveys of terrestrial arthropods in Hālona Valley, Naval Magazine Lualualei Annex, in order to assess the status of populations of three groups of insects, including species at risk in those groups: picture-winged Drosophila (Diptera; flies), Hylaeus spp. (Hymenoptera; bees), and Rhyncogonus welchii (Coleoptera; weevils). The first complete survey of Lualualei for terrestrial arthropods was made by Bishop Museum in 1997. Since then, the Bishop Museum has conducted surveys in Hālona Valley in 2015, 2016–2017, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. The current survey was conducted from August 2020 through November 2020, comprising a total of 12 trips; using yellow water pan traps, pitfall traps, hand collecting, aerial net collecting, observations, vegetation beating, and a Malaise trap. The area chosen for study was a Sapindus oahuensis grove on a southeastern slope of mid-Hālona Valley. The area had potential for all three groups of arthropods to be present, especially the Rhyncogonus weevil, which has previously been found in association with Sapindus trees. Trapped and collected insects were taken back to the Bishop Museum for sorting, identification, data entry, and storage and preservation. The results of the surveys proved negative for any of the target groups.

  • Bruchid Guilds, Host Preferences, and New Host Records from La Тin America and Texas for Тне Genus Stator Bridwell (Coleoptera: Bruchidae)

SIEMENS1 Department of Biological Sciences, Northem Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ 860 11, U .S.A. AвsтRAcr The oviposition guilds ofbruchid Ьeetles are: bruchids oviposit (А) on the pod while on the plant (Mature pod guild), or (В) on seeds while on the plant (Mature seed guild), or (С) on seeds after they had Ьееn exposed on the substrate (Scattered seed guild). Stator vittatithorax (Pic), S. trisignatus (Sharp) and S. monachus (Sharp) are memЬers ofGuild А. Stator limbatus(Hom), S. pruininus(Hom), S. beali Johnson and S. championi (Sharp) are the memЬers of Guild В. Stator chihuahua Johnson and Кingsolver, S. generalis Johnson and Кingsolver, S. pygidialis (Schaeffer), S. sordidus (Hom), S. testudinarius (Erichson) and S. vachelliae Bottimer are memЬers of Guild С. We report upon and discuss the Ьehavior and distribution ofthese species. Both generalist species of Stator, S. pruininus and S. limbatus, are in Guild В. Stator pruininus has Ьееn reported to feed in seeds of 55 host species and S. limbatus feeds in seeds of 74 host species. Species of Stator discussed here show а marked preference for seeds of species in the genus Acacia Miller. Johnson and Кingsolver (1976) revised the North and Central American species of the genus Stator Bridwell and puЬlished many new host records for its species. Johnson et а!. (1989) revised the species of Stator from South America.

  • Evolutionary Ecology of Progeny Size in Arthropods
    Annu. Rev. Entomol. 2000. 45:341±369 Copyright q 2000 by Annual Reviews. All rights reserved. EVOLUTIONARY ECOLOGY OF PROGENY SIZE IN ARTHROPODS Charles W. Fox and Mary Ellen Czesak Department of Entomology, S-225 Agricultural Science Center North, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky 40546-0091; e-mail: [email protected] Key Words egg size, geographic variation, life history, natural selection, parental investment Abstract Most models of optimal progeny size assume that there is a trade-off between progeny size and number, and that progeny ®tness increases with increasing investment per young. We ®nd that both assumptions are supported by empirical studies but that the trade-off is less apparent when organisms are iteroparous, use adult-acquired resources for reproduction, or provide parental care. We then review patterns of variation in progeny size among species, among populations within spe- cies, among individuals within populations, and among progeny produced by a single female. We argue that much of the variation in progeny size among species, and among populations within species, is likely due to variation in natural selection. How- ever, few studies have manipulated progeny environments and demonstrated that the relationship between progeny size and ®tness actually differs among environments, and fewer still have demonstrated why selection favors different sized progeny in different environments. We argue that much of the variation in progeny size among females within populations, and among progeny produced by a single female, is prob- ably nonadaptive. However, some species of arthropods exhibit plasticity in progeny size in response to several environmental factors, and much of this plasticity is likely adaptive.

  • A Survey of Stored Product Insects in Hawaii1
    Vol. XIII, No. 1, April 1979 95 A Survey of Stored Product Insects in Hawaii1 S.R. Loschiavo2 and G.T. Okumura3 DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII HONOLULU, HAWAII 96822 Although stored product insects have been recorded in Hawaii since 1877, no methodical survey had been conducted. The aim of the study reported here was to determine the occurrence, distribution, frequency, and economic importance of stored product insects in Hawaii. Previous records of stored product insects in Hawaii are shown in Table 1. Brid- well (1918) considered that problems with stored product insects were of sufficient importance to warrant full time attention. The committee on common names of economic insects in Hawaii listed the following eight stored product species in 1921; (Anon. 1921) cadelle, Tenebroides mauritanicus (Linnaeus); drugstore beetle, Stegobium paniceum (Linnaeus) (listed as Sitodrepapanicea (Linnaeus)); driedfruit beetle, Carpophilus hemipterus (Linnaeus); granary weevil, Sitophilus granarius (Linnaeus) (as Sitophila oryzae (Linnaeus)); red flour beetle, Tribolim castaneum (Herbst) (as rusty flour beetle, Tribolium ferrugineum (Fabricius)); wardrobe beetle, Attagenus fasciatus (Thunberg) (as Attagenus gloriosae (Fab ricius)); tobacco moth, Ephestia elutella (HUbner) (as cereal moth); Mediterranean flour moth, Anagasta kuehniella (Zeller) (as Ephestia kuhniella Zeller).
