Geburtstag gewidmet. DIETRICH, W. (2014) Powdery mildews (Erysiphales) – food for lady beetles (Coccinelidae). Boletus 35(1): 41-46 Abstract: From 2007 onwards the author in collaboration with other mycologists and entomologists has been recorded for the lady beetle Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata 17 species of powdery mildews as food source, and for the lady beetle Halyzia sedecimguttata one species. The fungi belong to the genera Erysiphe, Golovinomyces, Neoerysiphe, and Podosphaera. Observational data are presented regarding fungal species, host plants, and localities. The invasive lady beetle Harmonia axyridis originated from Asia was found several times on plants infected by powdery mildews. A possible feeding of these fungi by this beetle should be examined. Key words: fungi, Erysiphales, Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata, Halyzia sedecimguttata, Harmonia axyridis, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Lithuania Zusammenfassung: Seit dem Jahr 2007 wurden vom Autor in Kooperation mit Mykologen und Entomologen für den Gemeinen Pilz-Marienkäfer (Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata) 17 Arten und für den Sechzehnfleckigen Pilz-Marienkäfer (Halyzia sedecimguttata) eine Art der Echten Mehltaupilze (Erysiphales) der Gattungen Erysiphe, Golovinomyces, Neoerysiphe und Podosphaera als Nahrungspilze erfasst. Diese Mehltauarten, ihre Wirtspflanzen und die Fundorte werden zusammenfassend dargestellt. Der invasive Asiatische Marienkäfer (Harmonia axyridis) wurde mehrfach an mit Echtem Mehltau befallenen Pflanzen beobachtet. Ob der Käfer diese Pilze als Nahrung nutzt, bleibt noch zu untersuchen. 1.

  • COLEOPTERA COCCINELLIDAE) INTRODUCTIONS and ESTABLISHMENTS in HAWAII: 1885 to 2015
    AN ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF THE COCCINELLID (COLEOPTERA COCCINELLIDAE) INTRODUCTIONS AND ESTABLISHMENTS IN HAWAII: 1885 to 2015 JOHN R. LEEPER PO Box 13086 Las Cruces, NM USA, 88013 [email protected] [1] Abstract. Blackburn & Sharp (1885: 146 & 147) described the first coccinellids found in Hawaii. The first documented introduction and successful establishment was of Rodolia cardinalis from Australia in 1890 (Swezey, 1923b: 300). This paper documents 167 coccinellid species as having been introduced to the Hawaiian Islands with forty-six (46) species considered established based on unpublished Hawaii State Department of Agriculture records and literature published in Hawaii. The paper also provides nomenclatural and taxonomic changes that have occurred in the Hawaiian records through time. INTRODUCTION The Coccinellidae comprise a large family in the Coleoptera with about 490 genera and 4200 species (Sasaji, 1971). The majority of coccinellid species introduced into Hawaii are predacious on insects and/or mites. Exceptions to this are two mycophagous coccinellids, Calvia decimguttata (Linnaeus) and Psyllobora vigintimaculata (Say). Of these, only P. vigintimaculata (Say) appears to be established, see discussion associated with that species’ listing. The members of the phytophagous subfamily Epilachninae are pests themselves and, to date, are not known to be established in Hawaii. None of the Coccinellidae in Hawaii are thought to be either endemic or indigenous. All have been either accidentally or purposely introduced. Three species, Scymnus discendens (= Diomus debilis LeConte), Scymnus ocellatus (=Scymnobius galapagoensis (Waterhouse)) and Scymnus vividus (= Scymnus (Pullus) loewii Mulsant) were described by Sharp (Blackburn & Sharp, 1885: 146 & 147) from specimens collected in the islands. There are, however, no records of introduction for these species prior to Sharp’s descriptions.

Flavie Mayrand and Philippe Clergeau * Centre d’Ecologie et des Sciences de la Conservation, Sorbonne Université/MNHN/CNRS, 75005 Paris, France; fl[email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +33-(0)1-40-79-35-57 Received: 9 January 2018; Accepted: 20 March 2018; Published: 27 March 2018 Abstract: Green roofs and walls have recently emerged as conservation tools, and they offer promising additional opportunities to enhance biodiversity in cities. However, their ecological conditions remain poorly considered when planning wildlife corridors. To discuss the role of vegetated buildings in landscape connectivity, we reviewed the ecological and technical specificities of green walls and green roofs in light of the key factors concerning urban wildlife (patch size, quality, abundance, and isolation). Green roofs and walls show limited patch sizes, distinct habitat quality at the building scale, and limited redundancy of patch quality within the landscape. We also highlight that the abundance of roof and wall patches is often low. Future research is needed to establish if walls can be vertical corridors for wildlife, thereby reducing the isolation of green roofs. We argue that creating 3D ecological connectivity within the city requires substantial modifications of the design and maintenance of existing green building systems. We suggest that research is needed to integrate the biotic and abiotic characteristics of green buildings to make them more closely resemble those of open green spaces. Keywords: urban biodiversity; green roofs; green walls; species dispersal; ecological connectivity 1. Introduction Enhancing biodiversity in cities has now been widely recognized as a concept of improving the sustainability of urban functioning and making the urban environment more resilient to disturbances through the provision of ecosystem services [1–3].

Coccinellid species (Coccinellidae: Coleoptera) are important components of biological Coccinellidae, aphid, mite, control in programmes of sustainable plant protection practices, and well-known predators in fruits, seasonal dynamic agroecosystems, In this study, the suppession of predatory coccinellid species on seasonal populations dynamics of aphid and mite species in apple, cherry, and hazelnut orchards were determined in two distinguishing agricultural areas. Coccinellid beetle populations of pest species were observed in apple and cherry orchards of Bolu province, and hazelnut orchards of Düzce province of Turkey throughout the growing seasons of 2015 and 2016. The specimens were sampled by Steiner's funnel, mouth aspirator, and hand-picking. A total of twenty-three coccinellid species belonging to 13 genera were determined. The coccinellids consisted of 13 species in apple orchards, 19 species in cherry orchards, and 5 species in hazelnut orchards. Stethorus gilvifrons Mulsant (21.1%) was the most abundant coccinellid, followed by Adalia bipunctata L. (14%), Coccinella septempunctata L. (8.8%), and Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata L.

In many countries, they are well established for environmental impact assessment, but even in the well-studied Central European fauna, species identification can be very difficult. A comprehensive and taxonomically well-curated DNA barcode library could remedy this deficit and could also link hundreds of years of traditional knowledge with next generation sequencing technology. However, such a beetle library is missing to date. This study provides the globally largest DNA barcode reference library for Coleoptera for 15 948 individuals belonging to 3514 well-identified species (53% of the German fauna) with representatives from 97 of 103 families (94%). This study is the first comprehensive regional test of the efficiency of DNA barcoding for beetles with a focus on Germany. Sequences ≥500 bp were recovered from 63% of the specimens analysed (15 948 of 25 294) with short sequences from another 997 specimens.

  • History of the Biodiversity of Ladybirds (Coccinellidae) at the Black Sea Coast of the Russian Caucasus in the Last 120 Years—
    insects Article History of the Biodiversity of Ladybirds (Coccinellidae) at the Black Sea Coast of the Russian Caucasus in the Last 120 Years—Does the Landscape Transformation and Establishment of Harmonia axyridis Have an Impact? Andrzej O. Bie ´nkowskiand Marina J. Orlova-Bienkowskaja * A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution, Russian Academy of Sciences, 119071 Moscow, Russia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 October 2020; Accepted: 21 November 2020; Published: 23 November 2020 Simple Summary: Studies of the history of regional insect fauna are important for understanding the changes in ecosystems and are therefore crucial for conservation decisions. The harlequin ladybird is a global invader that causes the decline of native ladybirds in some countries. Therefore, it is advisable to monitor the ladybird fauna in regions recently occupied by this species. We analyzed the dynamics of the fauna at the main sea resort of Russia over a period of 120 years to determine the following: (1) how the ladybird biodiversity changed during the intensive landscape transformation; (2) what alien species introduced for pest control have occurred to date; and (3) what the impact is of the harlequin ladybird on the ladybird fauna. We examined specimens collected by us and 54 other collectors including specimens from old museum collections and reconstructed the history of the biodiversity like a picture from puzzle pieces. Surprisingly, landscape transformation did not cause a decrease but rather an increase in ladybird biodiversity; most of the species recorded before 1930 have occurred to date, and 23 other species have spread to the region.
