Species Richness And Abundance

AbstractLonghorn beetles are commonly moved among continents within wood packaging materials used in trades. Visual inspections carried out at points of entry often fail to detect exotic longhorn beetles as infested materials may have little or no sign of colonization. Black-colored traps baited with pheromones and host volatiles are thus used to improve chances of detection. Here we tested whether existing surveillance protocols for longhorn beetles can be further improved using trap colors different than black. Baited traps of eight different colors (i.e., grey, yellow, green, red, blue, brown, purple and black) were deployed in a randomized complete block design at 16 sites in northern Italy in 2019. A total of 6,001 individuals from 56 longhorn beetle species were trapped. In general, yellow and blue traps caught a significantly higher number of longhorn beetle species than black traps. In addition, trap color significantly affected species richness and abundance at the subfamily and species level, with mixed response mostly linked to the habit of visiting flowers for food. Flower-visiting longhorn beetles mainly exhibited clear preference for flower-related colors, i.e., yellow, green and blue, whereas non-flower-visiting species were more attracted by dark and long-wavelength-dominated colors, like red and brown. Our results clearly indicate that generic surveillance programs should not rely exclusively on black traps and that the use of more trap colors can strongly improve the chance of detecting native and exotic longhorn beetles potentially moved with trades.

In total, 550 species of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) exist in Europe. The most recent checklist of Cerambycidae family of Serbia cited 265 species and 92 subspecies, belonging to 109 genera, 48 tribes, and six subfamilies in the country. However, the presence of 28 species reported from Serbia is questionable. Here we present the first finding of Phytoecia (Musaria) argus (Frölich, 1793) for the fauna of Serbia. The species was collected in May and June 2018 on Stol mountain (near the town of Bor, Eastern Serbia). Additionally, data on morphology, bionomy and distribution of the longhorn beetle species are given. With this finding, the total number of longhorn beetle species in Serbia is estimated at 266. This species could be used as an indicator for the assessment of the nature value and conservation status of natural habitats in Serbia and Europe.

Tylenchid entomoparasites were isolated from two longhorn beetle species, Spondylis buprestoides from Tsukuba, Japan, and Asemum striatum from Ithaca, Tompkins County, NY, USA. Parasitic females and juveniles were obtained from S. buprestoides, where the female has a large body (5-6 mm long), clear stylet retracted into the body and degenerate anus and rectum, similar to some neotylenchids and allantonematids. By contrast, only stylet-bearing parasitic juveniles were found in eggs of A. striatum, and detailed morphological analysis was not done for this isolate. These two isolates of parasites were molecularly characterised, and analysed for their phylogenetic status based on the small subunit of the ribosomal RNA gene. The phylogenetic inference suggested that the two parasitic nematodes are close to each other, and to the siricidicola superspecies of the genus Deladenus, i.e., these two species and Deladenus form a well-supported clade. Because these two host beetle species belong to the same cerambycid subfamily (Spondylinae) from disparate locations, a subfamily-associated nematode parasite lineage may be revealed by further field surveys.

The Impact

Arthropod recolonization after the forest fire in Leuk The forest fire of Leuk (Wallis) in 2003 offered the opportunity to assess the impact of fire on arthropods and their succession after the event. We used standardized traps to sample arthropods in the center and at the edge of the burned area as well as in the intact forest outside the surface, two, three, five and ten years after the fire. We investigated different taxonomic and functional groups with particular focus on deadwood dwelling and endangered beetle species. We sampled 1898 species: 949 exclusively within the burned area and 159 exclusively in the intact forest. While the species number in the intact forest hardly changed during the investigation period, it increased dramatically in the burned area immediately after the fire. This was true for the herbivores and pollinators, as well as for the deadwood dwelling and endangered beetle species. In contrast, the number of species in two ground-dwelling groups, i.e., spiders (predators) and woodlice (decomposers), in the burned area exceeded those of the intact forest plots only five or ten years after the fire. During the first three years after the fire, we also sampled pyrophilic (fire-adapted) species, such as the bark bug Aradus lugubris and the longhorn beetles Acmaeops septentrionis and A. marginatus in the burned area. In total, there were 285 indicator species of specific and 38 further indicator species of unspecific post-fire successional stages. In contrast, only 18 indicator species of intact forests could be found. As such, forest fire is an ecological disturbance that can be considered as an important driver for maintaining and enhancing biodiversity as well as fire-specialized species.

Gunung Walat Educational Forest is located at an altitude of 500-700 m asl and has a variety of forest types. This research investigated the diversity and abundance of longhorn beetles found in several types of plantation forest. The beetles were collected using Artocarpus traps in September and October 2014. Sixteen species of longhorn beetle were found; these belonged to 7 tribes and 12 genera. The highest diversity and evenness of longhorn beetles were found in the natural forest (H=1.80, E=0.75) and the lowest of both measures in the Agathis forest (H=0.556, E=0.232). The highest similarity index (0.75) was found between the natural forest and the pine forest. Five of the species found, i.e. Sybra binotata, Sybra fuscotriangularis, Ropica strandi, Acalolepta rusticatrix, and Pterolophia melanura were highly abundant. Two of these, R. strandi and S. fuscotriangularis, as well as 4 other species found, Cleptometopus montanus, Myagrus javanicus, Notomulciber notatus, and Exocentrus artocarpi, are only found in Java. Finding Ropica marmorata was the first such record of this species on the island of Java.

The Asian bamboo borer Chlorophorus annularis is a beetle species that has been introduced in many countries globally. Originating in Southeast Asia, it can now be found in the Americas, South Africa, the Middle East, Australasia and Europe. The literature record of the species in Europe consists of findings of single individuals usually associated with imported bamboo products. A general European effort in surveying C. annularis was never undertaken, since the overall scientific consensus was that the species cannot establish here. Yet, recent records in Genk, Torhout (Belgium) and in Hamburg (Germany) do not seem directly associated with a recently imported product and hence may indicate otherwise. Such a shortfall in recording commonly imported, potentially invasive species may be counteracted through citizen science initiatives, allowing for continuous, high density monitoring. In this paper we present thirteen new records of the species from five European countries, including two new country records, mostly going back to interested citizen scientists.

Abstract Background: Mongolian oak forest is a deciduous secondary forest with a large distribution area in the Changbai Mountain area. The majority of longhorn beetle species feed on forest resources, The number of some species is also large, which has a potential risk for forest health, and have even caused serious damage to forests. Clarifying the distribution pattern of longhorn beetles in Mongolian oak forests is of great scientific value for the monitoring and control of some pest populations. Methods: 2018 and 2020, flying interception traps were used to continuously collect longhorn samples from the canopy and bottom of the ridge, southern slope, and northern slope of the oak forest in Changbai Mountain, and the effects of topographic conditions on the spatial distribution pattern of longhorn beetles were analyzed. Results: A total of 4090 individuals, 56 species, and 6 subfamilies of longhorn beetles were collected in two years. The number of species and individuals of Cerambycinae and Lamiinae were the highest, and the number of Massicus raddei (Blessig), Moechotypa diphysis (Pascoe), Mesosa myopsmyops (Dalman), and Prionus insularis Motschulsky was relatively abundant. Topographic conditions did not affect the vertical distribution of richness and abundance of longhorn beetles in the forest, but topographic conditions and vertical height independently affected the composition and quantity of the beetle assemblages. The community composition of longhorn beetles in the forest bottom and canopy was significantly different, and the richness and abundance were higher in the canopy under good light conditions. Cerambycinae and Lamiinae preferred to be active in the canopy, Prioninae preferred to be active in the forest bottom, and Lepturinae did not show any difference in the bottom and the canopy. Conclusions: The composition of the longhorn beetle community on the ridge was significantly different from that on the southern slope and the northern slope, and the richness and abundance on the ridge and the southern slope were higher than those on the northern slope. Different species had different preferences for topographical conditions and vertical height, which indicated the adaptability of longhorn beetles in the forest.

AbstractLonghorn beetles are extremely rich wood-boring insects possessing larvae that feed on the xylem of trees and/or lianas, which have detrimental effects on plants; in turn, the hosting plants may play a fundamental role in shaping the longhorn beetle community assemblage. However, factors determining the community assemblage of wood-boring longhorn beetles, particularly along the multiple spatial scales is still in need of further exploration. In this study, we designed an experiment across several spatial scales (from local to macro scales) from tropical to temperate climate gradients in Yunnan province, southwest China to examine to what extend the attributes of host-specificity is shaping the community assemblage along different spatial scales. This study concludes that (1) the wood-boring longhorn beetles showed attributes of host-specificity to a certain degree at the community level, (2) biotic (host plant specificity) and abiotic (climatic gradients) factors jointly shaped community composition of this species along the multiple spatial scales, (3) biotic interactions have a prominent effect on the community composition of this species at local-scale while macroclimatic gradients impose the major control on it at macro-scale. Thus, this study highlights the significance of host specificity in affecting the wood-boring longhorn beetle community assemblage, particularly at local scales.

The longhorn beetle fauna (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) was studied in the Zselic region (Somogy county) in Hungary in seven consecutive years (2009–2015). In total 2,931 specimens were observed and the presence of 83 species was identified during the sampling period. The most abundant species were: Plagionotus arcuatus (Linnaeus, 1758) (p<sub>i</sub> = 10.542); Cerambyx scopoli Füssli, 1775 (p<sub>i</sub> = 8.359), Dorcadion aethiops (Scopoli, 1763) (p<sub>i</sub> = 6.653) and Strangalia melanura (Redtenbacher, 1867) (p<sub>i</sub> = 6.209). According to our examinations, individual meteorological factors, particularly temperature, directly influenced the dispersal and the activity of longhorn beetles (P = 0.038) as well as the species richness (P = 0.047), as did weather systems formation and movement of air masses, cold and warm fronts. It is also shown that the activity of the insects is influenced by daily weather conditions. The activity of arthropods was higher during warm, dry days and less pronounced during cold, wet ones coupled with high air pressure values. A conspicuous relationship was observable between the appearance of cerambycid beetles and their time period. According to the results of Principal Coordinate Analysis four major groups can be distinguished: early-flight, late spring-flight, summer-flight and late-flight species.
