Beiträge zur bayerischen Entomofaunistik 8:8998, Bamberg (2006), ISSN 1430-015X Kommentierte Faunenliste der in Bayern nachgewiesenen Raubfliegen (Insecta: Diptera: Asilidae) von Klaus von der Dunk & Joachim Hable (unter Mitarbeit von Gisela Merkel-Wallner) Abstract: In addition to the new Red Data Book [2004], a checklist of all 67 species of robber flies known from Bavaria is presented. The table reflects the knowledge in autumn 2005. Species with one asterisk before their name are commented. Zur Ergänzung der überarbeiteten Roten Liste Bayerns (v. d. Dunk, [2004]) werden hier die der Ein- stufung zugrunde liegenden faunistischen Daten vorgelegt. In dieser Checkliste sind alle für Bayern bisher gemeldeten und, nach Überprüfung kritischer Tiere durch D. Wolff, validen Arten enthalten. Stand ist Herbst 2005. Neben Angaben zur momentanen Situation mit Bestand, Verbreitung in den vier Regional- räumen Bayerns und Gefährdungsgrad werden Beobachtungen zum Beutespektrum und zur Ökologie mit- geteilt. Die Tabelle enthält folgende Symbole (in Anlehnung an Mandery et al. 2003): Bestand: ­ kein Nachweis seit 1975, x seit 1975 110, xx 1150, xxx 51100, xxxx über 100 Nach- weise. Verbreitung: o Einzelfunde, oo lokal, ooo regional, oooo verbreitet in den Regionalräumen (Zahl dahinter) 1 = Nordwest-Bayern; 2 = Ostbayerisches Grenzgebirge; 3 = tertiäres Hügelland südlich der Donau; 4 = Alpen und Voralpen; statt einer Zahl ein + bedeutet: nur Altnachweise vor 1975 bekannt; eine nicht angegebene Raumzahl verweist auf fehlende Daten. Status: r Rückzug, r/a gleich geblieben, a Ausdehnung, ? unbekannte Entwicklung. RL Kategorien: 0 ausgestorben/verschollen (Angabe des letzten Nachweisjahres), 1 vom Aussterben bedroht, 2 stark gefährdet, 3 gefährdet, [4 potentiell gefährdet wegen S Seltenheit oder R Rückgang] G Gefährdung anzunehmen, R sehr selten, geographische Restiktion, V Vorwarnstufe, D Da- ten defizitär. ¡ verbindet die Einstufung RL 1992 mit der RL 2004. Jagdbeute: Eigene Aufzeichnungen über beobachtete Beutefänge und Anmerkungen in der Literatur (v.a. Segúy, 1927) führten zu dieser Spalte. Die Buchstaben stehen für O = Orthoptera (Heuschrecken), N = Neuroptera (Netzflügler), W = Heteroptera (Wanzen), Z = Homoptera (Zikaden), S = Lepido- ptera (Schmetterlinge), K = Coleoptera (Käfer), H = Hymenoptera (Hautflügler), F = Diptera (Flie- gen). In der Tabelle gibt die Reihenfolge der Buchstaben die beobachtete Präferenz an. Bei einem ? ist den Autoren nichts Näheres bekannt. Bemerkungen: A Alpenendemit D Bestimmung mit gängigen Schlüsseln ohne Vergleichstiere auch für Experten schwierig L Lebensraum bzw. Biotopansprüche zu wenig bekannt, um Gefährdung bei selten gefundenen Arten zu schätzen S spezielle Ansprüche ans Biotop (z. B. Moore, Trockenrasen) T Taxonomie umstritten, = Synonym.

  • Insect Egg Size and Shape Evolve with Ecology but Not Developmental Rate Samuel H
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1302-4 Insect egg size and shape evolve with ecology but not developmental rate Samuel H. Church1,4*, Seth Donoughe1,3,4, Bruno A. S. de Medeiros1 & Cassandra G. Extavour1,2* Over the course of evolution, organism size has diversified markedly. Changes in size are thought to have occurred because of developmental, morphological and/or ecological pressures. To perform phylogenetic tests of the potential effects of these pressures, here we generated a dataset of more than ten thousand descriptions of insect eggs, and combined these with genetic and life-history datasets. We show that, across eight orders of magnitude of variation in egg volume, the relationship between size and shape itself evolves, such that previously predicted global patterns of scaling do not adequately explain the diversity in egg shapes. We show that egg size is not correlated with developmental rate and that, for many insects, egg size is not correlated with adult body size. Instead, we find that the evolution of parasitoidism and aquatic oviposition help to explain the diversification in the size and shape of insect eggs. Our study suggests that where eggs are laid, rather than universal allometric constants, underlies the evolution of insect egg size and shape. Size is a fundamental factor in many biological processes. The size of an 526 families and every currently described extant hexapod order24 organism may affect interactions both with other organisms and with (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Fig. 1). We combined this dataset with the environment1,2, it scales with features of morphology and physi- backbone hexapod phylogenies25,26 that we enriched to include taxa ology3, and larger animals often have higher fitness4.

    Hochschule Rhein-Waal Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences Faculty of Communication and Environment Biodiversity changes in vegetation and insects following the creation of a wildflower strip A Case Study Bachelor Thesis by Johanna Marquardt Hochschule Rhein-Waal Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences Faculty of Communication and Environment Biodiversity changes in vegetation and insects following the creation of a wildflower strip A Case Study A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Bachelor of Science In Environment and Energy by Johanna Marquardt Matriculation Number: 23048 Supervised by Prof. Dr. Daniela Lud Prof. Dr. Petra Blitgen-Heinecke Submission Date: 22.02.2021 Abstract With the Global Climate Change, the loss of biodiversity is one of the most current and biggest crises of today and the future. The loss i.e., the decrease of biodiversity, does not only have negative effects on vegetation and animals, but also on humans. If nature is doing well, people are doing well. In order to counteract the loss, this bachelor thesis attempts to increase plant and insect biodiversity at a specific location with insect-friendly seed mixtures and by measuring the change using comparison areas. Accordingly, the two research questions were addressed: (1) "How does plant-biodiversity change in the backyard and front yard on the seed mixture plot compared to plant-biodiversity in the backyard and front yard next to the seed mixture plot?" and (2) "How does insect-biodiversity change in the backyard and front yard on the seed mixture plot compared to insect-biodiversity in the backyard and front yard next to the seed mixture plot?" To answer these research questions and to obtain more suitable data, a wildflower strip was established in the backyard and one in the front yard, each with an adjacent reference field, to ensure equal environmental conditions and to detect changes in flora and fauna.

Technol. 43 (2), 414-421, Mar. - Apr. 2021 Original Article Diversity of arthropods and decreased seed weight for various cocoa plantation systems Flora Pasaru1*, Alam Anshary1, Mahfudz1, Shahabuddin Saleh1, Mohammad Yunus1, Burhanuddin Nasir1, and Effendy2 1 Department of Agrotechnology, Faculty of Agriculture, Tadulako University, Palu, Central Sulawesi, 94118, Indonesia 2 Department of Agriculture Economics, Faculty of Agriculture, Tadulako University, Palu, Central Sulawesi, 94118, Indonesia Received: 25 May 2019; Revised: 3 October 2019; Accepted: 25 February 2020 Abstract Cocoa farmers in Palolo sub-district conducted cocoa cultivation by implementing three cocoa cropping systems, including the cocoa cropping system without using shade trees (A1), using a number of permanent shade trees (A2), and using natural forests as the shade trees (A3). The aim of the study was to determine the diversity of arthropods and decreased seed weight in the three cocoa cultivation systems. The sampling of arthropods used pitfall traps, light trap, and Yellow Fan Trap. The found 2684 arthropod individuals represented 12 orders, 47 families and 106 species. Diversity index and abundance index were the highest for cocoa crop ecosystem A2 (2.9 and 13.1). The largest decrease in weight of cocoa seeds was found in the A1 locations (8.34%) and the lowest in the A3 locations (3.61%). We recommend that cocoa cultivation should use protective trees. Keywords: cocoa cultivation, diversity of arthropods, seed weight 1. Introduction Greenberg,

  • New Data on the Robber-Flies (Diptera: Asilidae) in Lithuania
    NAUJOS IR RETOS LIETUVOS VABZDŽI Ų R ŪŠYS. 24 tomas 33 NEW DATA ON THE ROBBER-FLIES (DIPTERA: ASILIDAE) IN LITHUANIA ERIKAS LUTOVINOVAS Lithuanian Entomological Society, Akademijos 2, LT-08412 Vilnius, Lithuania E-mail: [email protected] Introduction The robber-flies are a moderate family of large and impressive insects. Adults prey from the ambush, killing other insects with their poison, which they also use for external digestion. Their larvae prey in the soil, excrements, leaf litter, tree stumps or decaying wood, and may be associated with over-aged trees (Bosák, 2005). The local Lithuanian fauna comprises 35 recorded species (Pakalniškis et al. , 2006), but their records are restricted to the few localities, and about a dozen other species can be discovered. We present here a wider faunistic data on the previously recorded species, and also supplement the local species list with several new records. Material and methods The material was collected or photographed in several localities across Lithuania (Fig. 1). The composition of Lithuanian species was compiled from the checklist of Lithuanian Diptera (Pakalniškis et al. , 2006). The taxonomy of the family follows Geller-Grimm (2012). New species for the Lithuanian fauna are marked with an asterisk (*). The collected material is deposited in the Museum of Zoology of Vilnius University (MZVU) and in the private collection of the researcher (EL).
