Sci Cen.-North, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40546-0091 USA; (DHJ) Department of Biology, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104 USA; email: [email protected] — Abstract. Coccygidium gregarium Sarmiento & Sharkey, the first known gregarious species of the subfamily Agathidinae (Braconidae), is described. This species was reared from a larva of Euglyphis sp. (Lasiocampidae). The SEM images of its last antennal flagellomere reveal that the characteristic acuminate shape is due to the presence of elongated, presumably sensory, structures. This type of flagellomere, together with its carinate hind trochantellus, are traits present in the genera Coccygidium, Biroia, Dichelosus, Hemichoma and in the Afrotropical genus Hyrtanommatium, suggesting a close phylogenetic relationship. The apex of the ovipositor sheath bears a small pointed process present in other Coccygidium species and also in Biroia, Dichelosus, and Hemichoma but not in Hyrtanommatium; this trait may suggest a close relationship among these genera. SEM images of this structure show that it is covered by ampulliform papillae, here reported for the first time. The pores on the inner apex of the ovipositor sheaths and the ampulliform papillae are either secretory or sensory. The Agathidinae are comprised of ap- geti, Hemichoma Enderlein and Dichelosus proximately 52 genera worldwide, with 20 Szepligeti are derived clades within Coc- occurring in the New World.

Abstract: This study describes the results and collection practices for obtaining arthropod samples to be stud- ied as potential sources of new medicines in a bioprospecting effort. From 1994 to 1998, 1800 arthropod sam- ples of 6-10 g were collected in 21 sites of the Área de Conservación Guancaste (A.C.G) in Northwestern Costa Rica. The samples corresponded to 642 species distributed in 21 orders and 95 families. Most of the collections were obtained in the rainy season and in the tropical rainforest and dry forest of the ACG. Samples were obtained from a diversity of arthropod orders: 49.72% of the samples collected corresponded to Lepidoptera, 15.75% to Coleoptera, 13.33% to Hymenoptera, 11.43% to Orthoptera, 6.75% to Hemiptera, 3.20% to Homoptera and 7.89% to other groups.

The outbreak involved the larvae of at least 12 species of Lepidoptera and occurred at a seasonally dry, deciduous forest site, where extensive background data were available regarding climate, tree species and non-outbreak herbivory levels. Most Lepidoptera were associated with only one or two larval host plant species belonging to the same family, and the majority were monophagous during this study. During the outbreak, caterpillar densities for the major outbreak species averaged 1.6 larvae per young leaf and 0.18 larvae per leaf for leaves of all ages. For canopy trees and lianas, the mean level of leaf damage was 13.8%, ranging from 1–100%. Seven out of 20 tree species sustained most of the damage, with 21–37% of the leaf area consumed. Relative to non-outbreak years, damage levels increased by more than 250% during the outbreak. Single-species outbreaks were observed in other areas with a similar drought, but wetter forests in central Panama did not experience outbreaks during this period.

  • Insect Outbreaks in Tropical Forests: Patterns, Mechanisms, and Consequences
    11 Insect Outbreaks in Tropical Forests: Patterns, Mechanisms, and Consequences Lee A. Dyer, Walter P. Carson, and Egbert G. Leigh Jr. 11.1 Introduction “First of all, the statement that there are no outbreaks in tropical forests (Elton 1958) is wrong.” Wolda (1983) issued this verdict when he demonstrated that over six-year periods, tropical insect populations fluctuated as strongly as temperate ones. Nevertheless, the paradigm that tropical forests are free of outbreaks (Elton 1958) has persisted in the face of strong evidence to the contrary (Nair 2007). In fact, the term “tropical outbreaks” is usually associated with disease outbreak literature or, to a lesser extent, with insect outbreaks in agricultural ecosystems or tree plantations (Nair 2007). However, as studies of insect natural history and population dynamics in the tropics accumulate, it is clear that insect outbreaks occur in most natural tropical terrestrial ecosystems and that these outbreaks may occur moderately frequently (Table 11.1). Our goal is to review what is currently known about the frequency, causes, and consequences of outbreaks both within and among tropical forests worldwide. In this chapter, we do the following: (1) define an outbreak, identify different general types of outbreaks, and outline challenges associated with quantifying and detecting outbreaks in tropical forests; (2) point out potential biotic linkages between outbreaks in managed landscapes and those in more natural forests; (3) identify taxa that are known to outbreak and traits that make species prone to outbreak; (4) predict where outbreaks are likely to occur both within a stand and across gradients from dry to wet forests; (5) discuss the consequences of outbreaks for plant communities and species coexistence; (6) make predictions about how global climate change will alter the frequency and severity of outbreaks; and, finally, (7) propose a series of testable hypotheses concerning outbreaks in the tropics to serve as a guide for future research.
