Large Diatom

This is the first record of an epiphytic diatom assemblage of Ploclamium cartilagineum. Fifteen years ago observations on a specimen of P. cartilagineum revealed that large diatom of certain taxa occurred abundantly on its branches, and suggested also that it may harbor a particular diatom assemblage. Thus, we set out objective into identifying all the diatom taxa in the assemblage represented on the same P. cartilagineum specimen, and to determine their proportional abundances. Overall 46 taxa of epiphytic diatoms were identified. The diatom assemblage was characterized by abundant large forms such as Gephyria media, and Hyalodiscus punctatus a new record for the region, and the small form Cocconeis californica. Also include is, Grammatophora macilenta a new record for the region. Hitherto rare taxa in the region were very common such as Rhabdonema adriaticum, Campylopyxys garkeana, and Melosira polaris/Melosira sol. Although the estimated species richness and diversity values are high as in other assemblages of benthic diatoms, its basic structure (floristics) in which large forms rival the smaller forms in number, makes this assemblage particular. Estructura particular de una asociación de diatomeas epifitas sobre Ploclamium cartilagineum (Lamoroux) Dixon (Rhodophyceae: Gigartinales) Se presenta el primer registro de diatomeas epifitas de Ploclamium cartilagineum. Hace quince años se observó que sobre las ramas de un espécimen de P. cartilagineum habitaban abundantes taxa de diatomeas de gran tamaño, lo que sugirió que hospedaba una asociación particular de diatomeas. Bajo el objetivo de identificar todos los taxa representados de diatomeas en el mismo espécimen y determinar sus abundancias proporcionales en la asociación, se identificaron 46 taxa, de las cuales dos formas grandes resultaron abundantes: Gephyria media, y Hyalodiscus punctatus un nuevo registro para la región; así como Cocconeis californica, una forma pequeña. Asimismo, se agregó un nuevo registro para la región con Grammatophora macilenta. Varios taxa considerados raros hasta antes de este estudio fueron muy comunes, como Rhabdonema adriaticum, Campylopyxys garkeana, y Melosira polaris/Melosira sol, entre otros. Aunque la riqueza y diversidad de especies fueron elevadas (típicas) como en otros hábitats bentónicos, su estructura básica (florística) en donde formas grandes son tan abundantes como las pequeñas define una asociación particular.

Boreal Mixedwood Forest

Lepidoptera were collected, primarily via UV light trap, for three seasons in the boreal mixedwood forest near Lac La Biche, Alberta. A total of 11,111 specimens were collected, representing 41 families and 438 species. A species list with flight times is presented. The total Lepidoptera community was estimated to be 546 ± 23.34 species. Abundance and species richness peaked in late July. Thirty-five species constitute new records for Alberta, while one species, Acanthopteroctetes bimaculata, is a new record for Canada, and the first record of the family Acanthopteroctetidae in Canada.

Natural Parasitism

The neotropical stink brown bug, Euschistus heros (F.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is an insect pest to soybean crops in Mato Grosso State, Brazil. In this region, synthetic insecticides are frequently used for insect control. An alternative to the indiscriminate use of insecticides is the biological control with parasitoids. Thus, the objective of this study was to conduct the survey of parasitoids that use E. heros adults as hosts. Random samples were conducted during the harvests of 2009/10 and 2010/11 in two farms that produce soybean (conventional system) in Tangará da Serra, Mato Grosso State, Brazil. The total number of collected E. heros was: 297 (Field 1) and 293 (Field 2) in 2009/10 and 295 (Field 1) and 376 (Field 2) in 2010/11. Of these, 1.50 (Field 1) and 13.99% (Field 2) were parasitized in 2009/10 and 8.47 (Field 1) and 7.45% (Field 2) in 2010/11. The parasitoids found were Hexacladia smithii Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) in both fields. This is the first record of parasitism in E. heros adults in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil.

Richness Estimators

The aquatic oligochaete fauna of Montenegro was recently studied in order to improve the knowledge of this group in the Balkan region. This study was carried out on sediments collected from 70 sampling sites (the Black Sea and the Adriatic Sea drainage basins) during three years (2005–2008). Forty-one species were identified, from seven following families: Naididae, Enchytraeidae, Haplotaxidae, Lumbriculidae, Lumbricidae, Criodrilidae and Branchiobdellidae (exclusive of Naidinae and Pristininae). Sixteen of them represent first record for the Montenegrin oligochaete fauna: Embolocephalus velutinus, Ilyodrilus templetoni, Psammoryctides deserticola, Spirosperma ferox, Tubifex ignotus, Bathydrilus adriaticus, Bothrioneurum vejdovskyanum, Rhyacodrilus coccineus, Cernosvitoviella atrata, Enchytraeus buchholzi, Mesenchytraeus armatus, Haplotaxis gordioides, Rhynchelmis limosella, Stylodrilus heringianus, Tatriella slovenica and Trichodrilus strandi. The list of species from the subfamilies Naidinae and Pristininae was published previously (Šundić et al. 2011), and it comprises 36 species. Altogether, the present study and literature data show that Montenegrin aquatic oligochaete fauna consists of 77 species. Concerning similarity, values of Jaccard’s index are the highest between Montenegrin and Serbian oligochaete fauna (57 %), and the lowest between Montenegrin and Albanian oligochaete fauna (27.77 %). Species richness estimators (Mao Tau, Uniques Mean, Chao 1, Chao 2, Jack 1, Jack 2, Bootstrap, ACE and ICE) indicate that findings of new oligochaete species in Montenegro are expected.

Zatypota albicoxa (Walker) is newly recorded from Mt. Merapi, Java Is., Indonesia. This is the first record of Z. albicoxa from this part of the Oriental region and from the Southern Hemisphere, and the first record of the genus Zatypota from Southeast Asia. The Indonesian population of Z. albicoxa attacks a theridiid spider of the genus Parasteatoda, as do populations of Z. albicoxa in other regions. The spider is a new species, and is described under the name of Parasteatoda merapiensis.

Ostracod Species

Between 2015 and 2017, 58 ostracod taxa were collected at 30 locations in 111 samples from the hyporheic zone of surface streams in Texas, U.S.A. Six new species (Bradleycypris foresteri n. sp., Bradleystrandesia macula n. sp., Pseudocandona lordi n. sp., Indocandona rusti n. sp., Stenocypris sancari n. sp., Cyclocypris dalyana n. sp.) are described based on carapace and soft body parts. Additionally, 17 species and two genera (Vestalenula and Indocandona) are presented as new records for Texas, and Indocandona rusti n. sp. is the first record of the genus outside India. Taxonomic positions of the new species are discussed along with ecological information. One-hundred and six nonmarine ostracod species are now reported from Texas. However, ongoing studies suggest that actual species richness is much higher.
