The Evolutionary Significance of Body Size in Burying Beetles Ashlee Nichole Momcilovich A dissertation submitted to the faculty of Brigham Young University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Mark C. Belk, Chair Seth M. Bybee Jerald B. Johnson Steven L. Peck G. Bruce Schaalje Department of Biology Brigham Young University Copyright © 2018 Ashlee Nichole Momcilovich All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Evolutionary Significance of Body Size in Burying Beetles Ashlee Nichole Momcilovich Department of Biology, BYU Doctor of Philosophy Body size is one of the most commonly studied traits of an organism, which is largely due to its direct correlation with fitness, life history strategy, and physiology of the organism. Patterns of body size distribution are also often studied. The distribution of body size within species is looked at for suggestions of differential mating strategies or niche variation among ontogenetic development. Patterns are also examined among species to determine the effects of competition, environmental factors, and phylogenetic inertia. -

Forensic entomology can help to estimate the time elapsed since death by studying the necrophagous insects collected on a cadaver and its surroundings. In this paper forty eight species (369 specimens) are listed that belong to seven families: Silphidae (3 species), Staphylinidae (6 species), Histeridae (11 species), Anobiidae (4 species), Cleridae (6 species), Dermestidae (14 species), and Nitidulidae (4 species). -

(Acari: Parasitidae) is described based on females, deutonymphs and males extracted from leaf litter and soil in Ami, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. Morphological differences between the new species and its closely related species, Vulgarogamasus fujisanus (Ishikawa, 1972), are recorded based on the examination of type mate- rials. Information about parasitid mites reported in Japanese literature is reviewed, and a key to species is provided. Key words: Parasitiformes, morphology, Parasitoidea, Japan, new species, Vulgarogamasus, taxonomy Introduction Mites of the family Parasitidae Oudemans, 1901 (Acari, Mesostigmata) are important predators in soil, feeding on microarthropods, collembolans and nematodes (Lindquist et al., 2009). The family comprises 35 genera and about 426 described species (Beaulieu et al., 2011). -

ZooKeys 329: 23–32. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.329.4957 Abstract A redescription with illustrations of the species Lyrosoma pallidum and a key to the Korean species of the family Agyrtidae are provided. New distributional data, including a range extension, of the two Lyrosoma Mannerheim species are presented. Lyrosoma pallidum (Eschscholtz) is recorded for the first time in Korea. Keywords Lyrosoma pallidum, L. opacum, distribution range, coastal, Agyrtidae Introduction The genusLyrosoma Mannerheim, containing two species worldwide, is confined to coastal habitats, such as under stones, seaweeds, and carcasses of various coastal ani- mals along the seashore. They have also been reported in nests of maritime birds, but little is known regarding their immature stages and bionomics. They can be recognized by the combination of the following characters: mandibles without subapical teeth; an- tennomeres 9–10 each with apical grooves including compact distribution of sensilla; elytron with 9 striae; hind wings absent; pro- and mesotarsi dilated in males; aedeagus without parameres (Newton 1997; Schawaller 1998).
