  • New Host Plant Records for Species Of
    Life: The Excitement of Biology 4(4) 272 Geometric Morphometrics Sexual Dimorphism in Three Forensically- Important Species of Blow Fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae)1 José Antonio Nuñez-Rodríguez2 and Jonathan Liria3 Abstract: Forensic entomologists use adult and immature (larvae) insect specimens for estimating the minimum postmortem interval. Traditionally, this insect identification uses external morphology and/or molecular techniques. Additional tools like Geometric Morphometrics (GM) based on wing shape, could be used as a complement for traditional taxonomic species recognition. Recently, evolutionary studies have been focused on the phenotypic quantification for Sexual Shape Dimorphism (SShD). However, in forensically important species of blow flies, sexual variation studies are scarce. For this reason, GM was used to describe wing sexual dimorphism (size and shape) in three Calliphoridae species. Significant differences in wing size between females and males were found; the wing females were larger than those of males. The SShD variation occurs at the intersection between the radius R1 and wing margin, the intersection between the radius R2+3 and wing margin, the intersection between anal vein and CuA1, the intersection between media and radial-medial, and the intersection between the radius R4+5 and transversal radio-medial. Our study represents a contribution for SShD description in three blowfly species of forensic importance, and the morphometrics results corroborate the relevance for taxonomic purposes. We also suggest future investigations that correlated shape and size in sexual dimorphism with environmental factors such as substrate type, and laboratory/sylvatic populations, among others. Key Words: Geometric morphometric sexual dimorphism, wing, shape, size, Diptera, Calliphoridae, Chrysomyinae, Lucilinae Introduction In determinig the minimum postmortem interval (PMI), forensic entomologists use blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) and other insects associated with body corposes (Bonacci et al.

  • UNIVERSITY of READING Delivering Biodiversity and Pollination Services on Farmland
    UNIVERSITY OF READING Delivering biodiversity and pollination services on farmland: a comparison of three wildlife- friendly farming schemes Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Agri-Environmental Research School of Agriculture, Policy and Development Chloe J. Hardman June 2016 Declaration I confirm that this is my own work and the use of all material from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged. Chloe Hardman i Abstract Gains in food production through agricultural intensification have come at an environmental cost, including reductions in habitat diversity, species diversity and some ecosystem services. Wildlife- friendly farming schemes aim to mitigate the negative impacts of agricultural intensification. In this study, we compared the effectiveness of three schemes using four matched triplets of farms in southern England. The schemes were: i) a baseline of Entry Level Stewardship (ELS: a flexible widespread government scheme, ii) organic agriculture and iii) Conservation Grade (CG: a prescriptive, non-organic, biodiversity-focused scheme). We examined how effective the schemes were in supporting habitat diversity, species diversity, floral resources, pollinators and pollination services. Farms in CG and organic schemes supported higher habitat diversity than farms only in ELS. Plant and butterfly species richness were significantly higher on organic farms and butterfly species richness was marginally higher on CG farms compared to farms in ELS. The species richness of plants, butterflies, solitary bees and birds in winter was significantly correlated with local habitat diversity. Organic farms supported more evenly distributed floral resources and higher nectar densities compared to farms in CG or ELS. Compared to maximum estimates of pollen demand from six bee species, only organic farms supplied sufficient pollen in late summer.

    Journal of the Plant Protection Society Volume 5 2018 Plant Protection Society Nepal Review Article GROWING TREND IN APPLICATION OF AGE-STAGE, TWO-SEX LIFE TABLE THEORY IN DIVERSE ECOLOGICALAND PEST MANAGEMENT STUDIES Sabitri Baral1 and Ratna K. Jha1 ABSTRACT Life table is an effective tool for characterizing the demography of an arthropod to understand the phenomenon in pest population development which is a key for developing IPM strategy. Age-stage, two-sex life tables provide comprehensive insights into the stage differentiation of an arthropods, compared with the traditional female age-specific life tables and any other forms of life tables. The age-stage, two-sex life table approach is applied in diverse type of ecological and pest management research. This article is intended to draw attention of Nepalese researchers towards the significance of demographic studies for development of IPM strategy, advancements in application of age-stage, two-sex life table approach and its computer programs. Altogether more than 694 peer reviewed papers and PhD theses have been published since 1988. Out of this, 92 papers were sampled and reviewed for this paper. In such papers, demography of diverse 50 species of arthropods classified under 27 different families belonging to 10 orders have been studied using this theory to measure their fitness in diverse food and environment condition, to assess their consumption, predation or parasitism capacity and to project their population growth in different scenario, to forecast the timing of control based on the stage structure of pest populations and to be used in mass rearing and harvesting of predators and preys under biological control program.

  • A Global Study of Forensically Significant Calliphorids: Implications for Identification
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by South East Academic Libraries System (SEALS) A global study of forensically significant calliphorids: Implications for identification M.L. Harveya, S. Gaudieria, M.H. Villet and I.R. Dadoura Abstract A proliferation of molecular studies of the forensically significant Calliphoridae in the last decade has seen molecule-based identification of immature and damaged specimens become a routine complement to traditional morphological identification as a preliminary to the accurate estimation of post-mortem intervals (PMI), which depends on the use of species-specific developmental data. Published molecular studies have tended to focus on generating data for geographically localised communities of species of importance, which has limited the consideration of intraspecific variation in species of global distribution. This study used phylogenetic analysis to assess the species status of 27 forensically important calliphorid species based on 1167 base pairs of the COI gene of 119 specimens from 22 countries, and confirmed the utility of the COI gene in identifying most species. The species Lucilia cuprina, Chrysomya megacephala, Ch. saffranea, Ch. albifrontalis and Calliphora stygia were unable to be monophyletically resolved based on these data. Identification of phylogenetically young species will require a faster-evolving molecular marker, but most species could be unambiguously characterised by sampling relatively few conspecific individuals if they were from distant localities. Intraspecific geographical variation was observed within Ch. rufifacies and L. cuprina, and is discussed with reference to unrecognised species. 1. Introduction The advent of DNA-based identification techniques for use in forensic entomology in 1994 [1] saw the beginning of a proliferation of molecular studies into the forensically important Calliphoridae.

In order to establish an effective control method against this pest, a study of the abundance of larvae L .orbonalis according to phenological stages of eggplant was conducted in the locality of Azaguié, in Guinean area of Côte d'Ivoire. Investigations were carried out from October 2013 to June 2014. The method used were to a weekly counting of larvae on three varieties of the specie Solanum th aethiopicum ( Djamba F 1, Kotobi and N'drowa issia) from 21 day after transplanting until the end of the harvest. All varieties recorded larvae during three phenological stages. The three varieties recorded more larvae at the fruiting stage than at the flowering and stage before flowering with 123.38 ± 4.09; 114.33 ± 4.22 and 106.18 ± 4.25 larvae per 24 plants respectively on Djamba F 1 , Kotobi and N’drowa issia.

  • Demography and Molecular Ecology of the Solitary Halictid Lasioglossum Zonulum: with Observations on Lasioglossum Leucozonium
    Demography and molecular ecology of the solitary halictid Lasioglossum zonulum: With observations on Lasioglossum leucozonium Alex N. M. Proulx, M.Sc. Biological Sciences (Ecology and Evolution) Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Faculty of Mathematics and Science, Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © 2020 Thesis Abstract Halictid bees are excellent models for questions of both evolutionary biology and molecular ecology. While the majority of Halictid species are solitary and many are native to North America, neither solitary nor native bees have been extensively studied in terms of their population genetics. This thesis studies the social behaviour, demographic patterns and molecular ecology of the solitary Holarctic sweat bee Lasioglossum zonulum, with comparisons to its well-studied sister species Lasioglossum leucozonium. I show that L. zonulum is bivoltine in the Niagara region of southern Ontario but is univoltine in a more northern region of southern Alberta. Measurements of size, wear and ovarian development of collected females revealed that Brood 1 offspring are not altruistic workers and L. zonulum is solitary. A large proportion of foundresses were also found foraging with well-developed ovaries along with their daughters, meaning L. zonulum is solitary and partially-bivoltine in the Niagara region. L. zonulum being solitary and univoltine in Calgary suggests that it is a demographically polymorphic and not socially polymorphic. Thus, L. zonulum represents a transitional evolutionary state between solitary and eusocial behaviour in bees. I demonstrate that Lasioglossum zonulum was introduced to North America at least once from Europe in the last 500 years, with multiple introductions probable.
