A total of 1272 two-winged species that belong to 58 families has been reported from theVitosha Mt. The Tachinidae (208 species or 16.3%) and Cecidomyiidae (138 species or 10.8%) are the most numerous. The greatest number of species has been found in the mesophylic and xeromesophylic mixed forests belt (707 species or 55.6%) and in the northern part of the mountain (645 species or 50.7%). The established species belong to 83 areographical categories. The dipterous fauna can be divided into two main groups: 1) species with Mediterranean type of distribution (53 species or 4.2%) – more thermophilic and distributed mainly in the southern parts of the Palaearctic; seven species of southern type, distributed in the Palaearctic and beyond it, can be formally related to this group as well; 2) species with Palaearctic and Eurosiberian type of distribution (1219 species or 95.8%) – more cold-resistant and widely distributed in the Palaearctic; 247 species of northern type, distributed in the Palaearctic and beyond it, can be formally related to this group as well. The endemic species are 15 (1.2%). The distribution of the species according to the zoogeographical categories in the vegetation belts and the distribution of the zoogeographical categories in each belt are considered. The dipteran fauna of the Vitosha Mt. is compared to this of the Rila and Pirin Mountains.

    cells Article Analysis of the Role of Bradysia impatiens (Diptera: Sciaridae) as a Vector Transmitting Peanut Stunt Virus on the Model Plant Nicotiana benthamiana Marta Budziszewska, Patryk Fr ˛ackowiak and Aleksandra Obr˛epalska-St˛eplowska* Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Institute of Plant Protection—National Research Institute, Władysława W˛egorka20, 60-318 Pozna´n,Poland; [email protected] (M.B.); [email protected] (P.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected] Abstract: Bradysia species, commonly known as fungus gnats, are ubiquitous in greenhouses, nurs- eries of horticultural plants, and commercial mushroom houses, causing significant economic losses. Moreover, the insects from the Bradysia genus have a well-documented role in plant pathogenic fungi transmission. Here, a study on the potential of Bradysia impatiens to acquire and transmit the peanut stunt virus (PSV) from plant to plant was undertaken. Four-day-old larvae of B. impatiens were exposed to PSV-P strain by feeding on virus-infected leaves of Nicotiana benthamiana and then transferred to healthy plants in laboratory conditions. Using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), real-time PCR (RT-qPCR), and digital droplet PCR (RT-ddPCR), the PSV RNAs in the larva, pupa, and imago of B. impatiens were detected and quantified. The presence of PSV Citation: Budziszewska, M.; genomic RNA strands as well as viral coat protein in N. benthamiana, on which the viruliferous larvae Fr ˛ackowiak,P.; were feeding, was also confirmed at the molecular level, even though the characteristic symptoms of Obr˛epalska-St˛eplowska,A.

  • Supplementary Information for Evolution of Gene-Rich Germline Restricted
    1 Supplementary Information for Evolution of gene-rich germline restricted 2 chromosomes in black-winged fungus gnats through introgression (Diptera: 3 Sciaridae) 4 Christina N. Hodson, Kamil S. Jaron, Susan Gerbi, Laura Ross 5 6 Supplementary Text 1: Detailed description of the chromosome inheritance system in 7 Bradysia coprophila. 8 9 The chromosome system in B. coprophila, and in sciarids generally, is unique in 10 several ways including chromosome transmission patterns, sex determination, and the 11 presence of GRCs (see Fig 1 for transmission patterns). All sciarids studied to date have a 12 system of reproduction known as paternal genome elimination, where males only transmit 13 maternally inherited chromosomes to offspring [1,2]. Paternal genome elimination has 14 evolved independently in at least seven arthropod lineages, including the related gall gnat 15 family Cecidomyiidae [3]. In all species with paternal genome elimination, meiosis occurs in 16 a Mendelian manner in females, but in males meiosis is aberrant. In male meiosis in 17 sciarids, there is a monopolar spindle in meiosis I. Maternally inherited chromosomes move 18 towards the monopolar spindle, while paternally derived chromosomes move away from it 19 and are discarded in a bud of cytoplasm [2]. Thus, only the maternal complement of 20 chromosomes is transmitted to the sperm. This phenomenon in B. coprophila was the first 21 example of “imprinting”, to our knowledge, by which the cell recognizes the maternal or 22 paternal origin of a chromosome [4]. Interestingly, the GRCs always segregate with the 23 maternal set of chromosomes. Therefore, all of the GRCs (typically two in B.

Pecchia Professor of Mushroom Science and Technology Gary Felton Professor of Entomology Department of Entomology, Chair *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Little is known about the host seeking and courtship behaviors of the fungus gnat, Lycoriella ingenua (Diptera: Sciaridae), one of the most severe insect pests of cultivated white button mushrooms, Agaricus bisporus. Published works concerning L. ingenua focus primarily on aspects of control including: insecticide susceptibility, insecticide resistance, viability of biological control agents, and determining damage thresholds. The work presented in this dissertation examines the host seeking behavior of female flies and the copulatory behavior of male flies. Host seeking and copulatory behaviors in insects involve a complex series of events beginning with signal acquisition, signal transduction, and signal processing. Signal molecules provide the searching insect with information about the quality and location of the host material or potential mate. In this dissertation I present work showing that gravid L. ingenua female flies are attracted the composted substrate that mushrooms are grown on, not the mushrooms themselves, and to the mycoparasitic green mold, Trichoderma aggressivum.
