Oocyte Development in Melanogryllus Desertus (Pallas, 1771) (Orthoptera: Gryllidae): Presence of Balbiani Body*

In the panoistic ovary of M. desertus, oocyte developmental stages based on their histological properties were classified as previtellogenic, vitellogenic, and maturation. Oocytes were encircled by follicle cells through the developmental stages. In the previtellogenic stage, a few vacuoles were observed just beneath the oolemma. At the beginning of the vitellogenic stage, subdivided into early-, middle-, and late-vitellogenic stages, yolk granules within the oocyte were initially observed just beneath the oolemma. In addition, small lipid droplets were initially present under the yolk granules. As vitellogenesis proceeded, both yolk granules and lipid droplets gradually increased and moved inside the oocyte. The Balbiani body was detected around the nucleus. In the maturation stage, large yolk granules covering the whole of the oocytes were determined. Some atretic oocytes occurring as a result of resorption of oocytes (oosorption) by hypertrophied follicle cells were also detected. Apoptosis in atretic follicles was observed as well.

The Ministry of Environment is responsible for LMOs used for environmental remediation. This study aimed to develop guidelines for assessing potential risks posed by transgenic plants used for remediation to insect ecosystems by investigating arthropod communities in sun- flower fields. A total of 2,350 insects and spiders belonging to 134 species of 10 orders and 71 families were collected from sunflow- er fields over four growth stages ranging from anthesis to seed maturity. At the R3 phase of flower-bud formation, Chironomidae sp. of a decomposer insect guild presented the highest density, while Apis mellifera of a pollinator guild was the most abundant in the R5.8 phase of flowering. During the R7 seed-filling phase and the R9 phase of seed maturity, herbivorous Pochazia shantungen- sis predominated. During the R9 phase, richness and diversity indices of arthropod communities were distinctly lower whereas their dominance indices were significantly higher than those at other phases. In addition, the composition of arthropod communities was strongly correlated not only with the sampling date, but also with the sampling method depending on the growth stage of sunflow- ers. -

Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Trichophora, Lygaeoidea, abdominal trichobothria, morphology, systematics Abstract. Members of the clade Trichophora (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomomorpha) have trichobothria on their abdominal sterna. There is no comparative study of the fi ne structure of abdominal trichobothria in the group and until now the trichobothria of their immatures were virtually unknown. The fi ne structure of the abdominal trichobothrial complex (= the trichobothrium and its associated structures) of adults of 98 species belonging to 25 families in 5 superfamilies and larvae of 7 species belonging to 7 families in 2 superfamilies of Trichophora were examined using scanning electron microscopy. This study indicates that the fi ne structure of the abdominal trichobothria is very variable and useful for determining evolutionary lineages within the clade. -

Diversity, Dynamics, Direction, and Magnitude of High‑Altitude Migrating Insects in the Sahel Jenna Florio1, Laura M

Krajacich1, Corey S. Smith16 & Tovi Lehmann1* Long‑distance migration of insects impacts food security, public health, and conservation–issues that are especially signifcant in Africa. Windborne migration is a key strategy enabling exploitation of ephemeral havens such as the Sahel, however, its knowledge remains sparse. In this frst cross‑season investigation (3 years) of the aerial fauna over Africa, we sampled insects fying 40–290 m above ground in Mali, using nets mounted on tethered helium‑flled balloons. Nearly half a million insects were caught, representing at least 100 families from thirteen orders. Control nets confrmed that the insects were captured at altitude. Thirteen ecologically and phylogenetically diverse species were studied in detail. Migration of all species peaked during the wet season every year across localities, suggesting regular migrations. Species difered in fight altitude, seasonality, and associated weather conditions. All taxa exhibited frequent fights on southerly winds, accounting for the recolonization of the Sahel from southern source populations. “Return” southward movement occurred in most taxa. Estimates of the seasonal number of migrants per species crossing Mali at latitude 14°N were in the trillions, and the nightly distances traversed reached hundreds of kilometers. -
