Corresponding author Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Galerucella placida Baly is a small leaf beetle belonging to the family Chrysomelidae. which feeds on aquatic weed Polygonum hydropiper Linn. The insect was reported from various regions of India during 1910-1936. Investigation on some biological parameters of G. placida and feeding of the P. hydropiper by G. placida was conducted in laboratory. The results indicated the fecundity of G. placida was 710-1210 eggs per female. Eggs were markedly bright yellow, pyriform basally rounded and oval at tip. It measured 0.67 mm in length and 0.46 mm in width. Average incubation period was 3.80 days. Larvae of G. placida underwent three moults. The first instar larva was yellow in colour and measured 1.26 mm in length and 0.40 mm in width. The second instar was yellowish in colour but after an hour of feeding, the colour of the grub changes to blackish brown from yellow. It measured 2.64 mm in length and 0.77 mm in width. The third instar measured 5.59 mm in length and 1.96 mm in width. The average total larval duration of G. placida was 13.30 days. The fully developed pupa looked black in colour and measured 4.58 mm in length and 2.37 mm in width. -
Checkered Beetles Moths (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) – Hazardous Phytophags of Arboreal and Shrubby Plants of Botanical Gardens and Plantings of Kiev M

Fomina The purpose. To carry out probes on revealing and specification of species composition of checkered moths (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) in conditions of botanical gardens and plantings of Kiev. Methods. Standard methods of faunistic research in entomology, population ecology, and protection of plants. Results. It is determined that 24 kinds of checkered moths are eating 54 kinds of plants which are widely used for gardening in Kiev. For the first time the following kinds are revealed: Phyllonorycter issikii, Phyllonorycter platani, and Phyllonorycter emberizaepennella. At calculation of Palii-Kovnatski indexes they specified that in city plantings the dominant phytophags are Cameraria ohridella (94,11%), Phyllonorycter populifoliella (86,37%) and Gracillaria syringella (59,14%). They consider that in formation of the secondary areal of invasion kinds of checkered moths the great value has an areal of spread of the host-plant. Environmental analysis is carried out of checkered moths of family Gracillariidae which is spread in cities of the Europe and which are absent in fauna of cities of Ukraine. That has important theoretical and practical value for ecology, entomology and protection of plants against hazardous checkered moths. Conclusions. All the probed kinds of checkered moths by their trophic specialization may be distributed into polyphages (6 kinds), oligophages (14 kinds) and monophages (3 kinds). -

Verschut and Hambäck BMC Ecol (2018) 18:33 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12898-018-0187-7 BMC Ecology RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access A random survival forest illustrates the importance of natural enemies compared to host plant quality on leaf beetle survival rates Thomas A. Verschut* and Peter A. Hambäck Abstract Background: Wetlands are habitats where variation in soil moisture content and associated environmental condi- tions can strongly afect the survival of herbivorous insects by changing host plant quality and natural enemy densi- ties. In this study, we combined natural enemy exclusion experiments with random survival forest analyses to study the importance of local variation in host plant quality and predation by natural enemies on the egg and larval survival of the leaf beetle Galerucella sagittariae along a soil moisture gradient. Results: Our results showed that the exclusion of natural enemies substantially increased the survival probability of G. sagittariae eggs and larvae. Interestingly, the egg survival probability decreased with soil moisture content, while the larval survival probability instead increased with soil moisture content. For both the egg and larval survival, we found that host plant height, the number of eggs or larvae, and vegetation height explained more of the variation than the soil moisture gradient by itself. Moreover, host plant quality related variables, such as leaf nitrogen, carbon and phosphorus content did not infuence the survival of G. sagittariae eggs and larvae. Conclusion: Our results suggest that the soil moisture content is not an overarching factor that determines the interplay between factors related to host plant quality and factors relating to natural enemies on the survival of G. -

In this contribution the performance of two global dynamic vegetation models, i.e. CARAIB and ISBACC, and one stand-scale forest model, i.e. 4C, was compared to long-term observed net ecosystem carbon exchange (NEE) time series from eddy covariance monitoring stations at three old-grown European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forest stands. Residual analysis, wavelet analysis and singular spectrum analysis were used beside conventional scalar statistical measures to assess model performance with the aim of defining future targets for model improvement. We found that the most important errors for all three models occurred at the edges of the observed NEE distribution and the model errors were correlated with environmental variables on a daily scale. -
Assemblages of Beetles (Coleoptera) in a Peatbog and Surrounding Pine Forest
Baltic J. Coleopterol. 8(1) 2008 ISSN 1407 - 8619 Assemblages of beetles (Coleoptera) in a peatbog and surrounding pine forest Dalius Dapkus, Vytautas Tamutis Dapkus D., Tamutis V. 2008. Assemblages of beetles (Coleoptera) in a peatbog and surrounding pine forest. Baltic J. Coleopterol., 8 (1): 31 - 40. Assemblages of beetles of an open raised bog, a pine bog and surrounding dry pine forest were studied in the Čepkeliai State Strict Nature Reserve (southern Lithuania) in 1999. The research was carried out by the means of pitfall traps. A total of 80 species of beetles (Coleoptera) was registered. Of these, 33 species (565 specimens) were registered in the open bog, 41 species (450 specimens) in the pine bog, and 42 species (946 specimens) in the dry pine forest. The results revealed that pine bog and open bog had the most similar assemblages of beetles (P=64.8). The similarity between pine forest and pine bog was lower (P=8.7), while the lowest similarity was registered between pine forest and open bog (P=5.4). The results showed that the number of species registered in the studied habitats was quite similar, while the number of individuals was twice bigger in the pine forest in comparison to the pine bog or open bog˙s site. Agonum ericeti and Drusilla canaliculata were the most abundant species making up 67% of all individuals registered at the open bog˙s site and 50% in the pine bog, while Carabus arcensis was the most abundant in the pine forest (60%).
