The biggest news involves the faculty—after facing a historic low a few years ago, with 8 FTEs (University-speak for fulltime teaching equivalents), we’re now facing a historic high. Assistant Professor Andy Suarez joined us from University of California at Berkeley in the fall (or, I should say, rejoined us, given that he graduated from UIUC with a master’s degree back in 1994), and has already improved our quality of life, among other things offering a seminar with Carla Cáceres in invasion biology and bringing the second-largest ant species in the world (Dinoponera australis) to the Insect Fear Film Festival. In the spring, after a nationwide search, Charlie Whitfield, a postdoctoral associate in Gene Robinson’s lab, accepted our offer of a position in insect sociogenomoics (for the record, probably the first hire nationwide with that particular job description); he joined us as a faculty member at the beginning of fall semester 2004. And the Kearns, Metcalf and Flint Chair in Toxicology was offered to Dr. Michael Adams. While he is deciding, in our tradition of recruiting from UC-Riverside, I note that wildfires have been raging out of control year-round in Riverside County, contributing to the already poor air quality there. We’ve benefited from two retention offers as well; our alumna Marianne Alleyne, current postdoctoral associate in Rob Wiedenmann’s lab, received an offer for a position as a research assistant professor in connection with a retention offer for her husband, and Sam Beshers, for years an unofficial associate of our department, now has an official 25% research position in the Department, part of a retention package for his wife. On the debit side, though, Susan Fahrbach, who joined the faculty here in 1990, left for an endowed chair at Wake Forest University. She’ll be much missed and I don’t envy her successor in insect physiology, trying to match her stratospherically high course ratings. So, all told, by August 2005 we could be 12.75 FTE in size, the biggest we’ve been in at least 24 years. In fact, we may lose our status as the second-smallest department in LAS, a distinction I’ll happily surrender. We’ve also expanded our network across the campus and continued to build strength and diversity in our graduate program through out affiliate appointments. Brenda Molano-Flores, from the Illinois Natural History Survey, is a new affiliate and is already advising a graduate student (Adam Wallner). Steve Taylor, also from the Illinois Natural History Survey, is a welcome addition as well. Not inappropriately, a larger faculty requires a larger staff and I’m ecstatically happy to report that, after academic year 2003’s devastating budget cuts, which reduced our secretarial staff by 30%, we regained a secretarial line—Leta Nugent, who was a secretary in our office a few years ago, has rejoined our office staff. And we’ve also hired Alissa Eisenstein as a course support hourly—she’s creating a database of teaching specimens and will be straightening out our historic teaching collection (probably the first to do so since Sewall Wright was a graduate student here). As for teaching, 2003-2004 was a transition year, in which the entomology rubric was co-listed with the IB rubric for the last time; and for those who have not yet learned the new IB rubrics, don’t bother because they were supplanted by other new rubrics in fall 2004, due to a campus-wide expansion of course numbers from 100-400 to 100-700. Along with new course numbers are new Banner account numbers to tax our brains—it’s not enough I guess, to have to remember insect Latin binomials to succeed these days. I’d like to meet the committee, by the way, who decided that 27 digits was the ideal size to designate an account number. Message from the Head Page 2 Department of Entomology 2003-2004 was also our last year with an official entomology option—two undergraduates graduated in May (Lori Kae Schwab and Ulises Atilano). Ulises (Joe) is attending UIC to obtain a master’s degree in public health; Lori Kae is pursuing a master’s degree in NRES. May 2004 also happened to be the month in which the undergraduate Independent Program of Study in Entomology was approved; we have one student, Lynn Fennema, who is pursuing her degree under this rubric. The IPS will allow us to continue to accommodate the handful of undergraduates (the few, the brave) who are passionate about insects. Construction has proceeded apace, in concert with recruitments and retentions. A new bee research facility is under construction out by the new fish ponds on South Lincoln. And a new insectary in the Morrill Hall basement is being built in connection with efforts to centralize Animal Care campus-wide (no, insects aren’t covered under animal care regulations—it’s just that SIB owns the space and made it available with the proviso that we could move our animal Photo courtesy of care operation from the fifth floor to the basement). Won Young Choi Some entomologists may also be moving into brand-new digs at the IGB, the Institute for Genomic Biology—two of five themes involve Entomology faculty; Genomics of Neural and Behavioral Plasticity, with Gene Robinson at the helm and Hugh, Andy, Sydney, and May involved, and Genomic Ecology of Global Change, headed by Don Ort and with May involved. Each theme is assigned 10,000 square feet of space; while no one will be abandoning Morrill space altogether, there should be some consolidation such that space opens up for new faculty. Although I receive an overwhelming amount of email (which as many of you may have noticed isn’t always processed in a timely manner) in amongst the advertisements for laser printer toner cartridges and antidepressants was a note that caught my eye. It was a greeting from the University archivist, who wanted to alert departments about the campus facility. According to the University archivist, “The Entomology Department deals with the study of insect control, classes of insects, the life of insects and immunization problems. In 1899, a complete four-year course in entomology was proposed. By 1900, entomology was a separate department under the College of Science. In 1913, through reorganization of the colleges, it became part of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. In 1959, it was included in the School of Life Sciences, established within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.” This information caught my attention because it isn’t entirely consistent with what I’ve heard of our department’s history—in particular, the fact that Stephen A. Forbes wasn’t appointed first head of the Department of Entomology until 1909. I suppose it’s conceivable that the department existed without a head for 9 years (after all, cockroaches can live for a substantial amount of time without one). In any case, one way or another a centennial celebration seems both imminent and appropriate. Planning will begin in earnest and we’re hoping to bring back many of you for a celebration.

Ross Fund in honor of Herbert Holdsworth Ross and Jean Alexander Ross remembers Herbert Holdsworth Ross and Jean Alexander Ross for their many accomplishments in education and research, he in entomology and she in zoology. Herbert Holdsworth Ross, born near Leeds, England in 1908, spent most of his childhood in British Columbia where he became interested in the natural world, especially insects, which he collected and identified. He graduated from the University of British Columbia in 1927 and earned a master’s degree and a Ph.D., both in entomology, from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1929 and 1933, respectively. Dr. Ross had a long and distinguished career at the U of I, including 42 years with the Illinois Natural History Survey and 23 years as professor of entomology. He began his career with the survey as assistant entomologist in 1927 and advanced to systematic entomologist, section head of faunistic surveys and insect identification, principal scientist, assistant chief, and acting chief. He retired from UIUC in 1969 and accepted an appointment as professor of entomology at the University of Georgia, retiring in 1975. Dr. Ross was one of the most productive entomologists in North America. He published about 220 scientific publications, including six books and chapters in seven others. Among his works was the widely used Textbook of Entomology, which underwent several editions. He was widely recognized in many diverse fields, such as evolutionary theory, community ecology, biogeography and systematic entomology for which he received numerous awards during his career.

Changes in vegetation structure can alter the physical habitat structure, thermal environment, and food available to arthropods, which play an important role in the structure and functioning of Arctic ecosystems. Not only do they provide key ecosystem services such as pollination and nutrient cycling, they are an essential food source for migratory birds. In this study I examined the relationships between the abundance, diversity, and community composition of arthropods and the height and cover of several shrub species across a tundra-shrub gradient in northwestern Alaska. To characterize nestling diet of common passerines that occupy this gradient, I used next-generation sequencing of fecal matter. Willow cover was strongly and consistently associated with abundance and biomass of arthropods and significant shifts in arthropod community composition and diversity.

  • Insect Orders V: Panorpida & Hymenoptera
    Insect Orders V: Panorpida & Hymenoptera • The Panorpida contain 5 orders: the Mecoptera, Siphonaptera, Diptera, Trichoptera and Lepidoptera. • Available evidence clearly indicates that the Lepidoptera and the Trichoptera are sister groups. • The Siphonaptera and Mecoptera are also closely related but it is not clear whether the Siponaptera is the sister group of all of the Mecoptera or a group (Boreidae) within the Mecoptera. If the latter is true, then the Mecoptera is paraphyletic as currently defined. • The Diptera is the sister group of the Siphonaptera + Mecoptera and together make up the Mecopteroids. • The Hymenoptera does not appear to be closely related to any of the other holometabolous orders. Mecoptera (Scorpionflies, hangingflies) • Classification. 600 species worldwide, arranged into 9 families (5 in the US). A very old group, many fossils from the Permian (260 mya) onward. • Structure. Most distinctive feature is the elongated clypeus and labrum that together form a rostrum. The order gets its common name from the gential segment of the male in the family Panorpodiae, which is bulbous and often curved forward above the abdomen, like the sting of a scorpion. Larvae are caterpillar-like or grub- like. • Natural history. Scorpionflies are most common in cool, moist habitats. They get the name “hangingflies” from their habit of hanging upside down on vegetation. Larvae and adult males are mostly predators or scavengers. Adult females are usually scavengers. Larvae and adults in some groups may feed on vegetation. Larvae of most species are terrestrial and caterpillar-like in body form. Larvae of some species are aquatic. In the family Bittacidae males attract females for mating by releasing a sex pheromone and then presenting the female with a nuptial gift.

Betts Revised: 29 July 20 II/Accepted: 9 August 20II ��. Springer Seicnee+Business Media, LLC 2011 Abstract Discerning the intricacies of mating systems in butterflies can be difficult, particularly when multiple mating strategies are employed and are cryptic and not exclusive. We observed the behavior and habitat use of 113 male Taylor's checkerspot butterflies (Euphydryas editha taylori). We confinned that two distinct mating strategies were exhibited; patrolling and perching. These strategies varied temporally in relation to the protandrous mating system employed. Among perching males, we recorded high site fidelity and aggressive defense of small «5 m2) territories. This telTitoriality was not clearly a function of classic or non-classic resource defense (i.e., host plants or landscape), but rather appeared to constitute guarding of female pupae (virgin females). This discrete behavior is previously undocumented for this species and has rarely been observed in butterflies.

  • ABSTRACT Hill, Hilary Nan. Phylogenetic Utility of Two New Nuclear Genes, Opsin and CAD, Within the Stiletto Flies (Diptera: Th
    ABSTRACT Hill, Hilary Nan. Phylogenetic Utility of Two New Nuclear Genes, Opsin and CAD, within the stiletto flies (Diptera: Therevidae) (Under the direction of Brian M. Wiegmann). A need for multiple phylogenetic markers to reconstruct evolutionary relationships is increasingly apparent within both the Therevidae and insect systematics as a whole, especially markers that can accommodate the immense species diversity that arose during the Mesozoic (~65-250mya). Phylogenetic trees are often best reconstructed using datasets from distinct sources and from character sets that have been under different selective pressures. Many recent insect systematics studies use various combinations of markers from multiple genomes, morphology, and biogeography. Nuclear genes, particularly protein-encoding genes that are highly conserved and low copy-number, are increasingly attractive as phylogenetic markers, and there is a recent concerted effort to find and increase access to new nuclear genes. Chapter one of this study investigates the phylogenetic utility of opsin, a new multiple copy nuclear protein- encoding gene in the dipteran family Therevidae. The present analyses of nucleotide sequence data of opsin reconstructed a therevid phylogeny that is partially concordant with previous classifications which demonstrates that opsin may have some limited utility as a phylogenetic marker within the Therevidae and closely related Diptera, but also shows that opsin may be better used in combination with other molecular markers or morphological data sets. Phylogenetic analyses of opsin at multiple levels within insects supports these results, but also reveals the significant obstacles in technical manipulation of the gene and in the interpretaion of ortholog/paralog relationships. In the second chapter two new nuclear, protein-encoding genes, opsin and CAD, in combination with EF-1α and 28S rDNA, are applied to reconstruct evolutionary relationships among the major lineages of Therevidae for which previous molecular evidence has been insufficient.

We describe a rearing protocol that allowed us to raise the threatened butterfly, Argynnis diana (Nymphalidae), while bypassing the first instar overwintering diapause. We compared the survival of offspring reared under this protocol from field-collected A. diana females from North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee. Larvae were reared in the lab on three phylogenetically distinct species of Southern Appalachian violets (Viola sororia, V. pubescens,andV. pedata). We assessed larval survival in A. diana to the last instar, pupation, and adulthood. Males reared in captivity emerged significantly earlier than females. An ANOVA revealed no evidence of host plant preference by A. diana toward three native violet species. We suggest that restoration of A. diana habitat which promotes a wide array of larval and adult host plants, is urgently needed to conserve this imperiled species into the future. 1.

    Reumatismo, 2003; 55(1):58-65 RUBRICA DALLA RICERCA ALLA PRATICA Frequency of pathology in a large natural sample from Natural Trap Cave with special remarks on erosive disease in the Pleistocene La patologia osteoarticolare, con particolare riguardo a quella di tipo erosivo, nel Pleistocene: studio di un campione di reperti paleopatologici provenienti dalla Natural Trap Cave (Wyoming, USA) B.M. Rothschild1, L.D. Martin2 1The Arthritis Center of Northeast Ohio, University of Kansas Museum of Natural History, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine and University of Akron; 2Museum of Natural History and Department of Systematics and Ecology, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas 66045 RIASSUNTO Nel presente studio vengono riportati i rilievi paleopatologici, con particolare riguardo alla presenza di artrite ero- siva, di osteoartrosi, di DISH , nonché ai segni di danno della dentizione, relativi ad un’ampia popolazione di mam- miferi, i cui resti (più di 30.000 ossa di 24 specie diverse) sono stati ritrovati nella Natural Trap Cave, Wyoming, USA. L’evidenza di artrite erosiva è confinata ai bovidi, Bison, Ovis e Bootherium, fatto osservabile anche in bisonti del tardo Pleistocene ritrovati nel Kansas (Twelve Mile Creek) e in un’altra località del Wisconsin, riferibile cronologi- camente al primo Olocene. Questi dati, ovvero la restrizione di tali segni di patologia articolare ad un singolo gene- re animale (Bovidi) e ad un determinato periodo storico, rende plausibile l’ipotesi che un agente patogeno, identifi- cabile col Mycobacterium tubercolosis, possa essere stato implicato nella genesi dell’artrite erosiva. Osteoartrosi e DISH sono risultate poco rappresentate nella popolazione animale della Natural Trap Cave, anche se il genere Bi- son ha dimostrato una discreta prevalenza di segni di osteoartrosi.
