Abstract:

A new species with primitive characteristics, Ameletus daliensis Tong, sp. nov., is described, based on the morphology of imago, larva and egg with molecular data of the mitochondrial COI from Mount Cangshan, Dali, China. The new species is closely related to one of the most primitive mayflies, Ameletus primitivus Traver, 1939, by sharing persistent mouthparts in the alate stage, but it can be distinguished from the latter by the morphological differences of the mouthpart remains, wings and genitals in the imaginal stage. Both morphological and molecular evidence support that A. daliensis Tong, sp. nov. is a new member of the genus Ameletus. The discovery of the new species could help understand the origin and evolution of the genus Ameletus.

Full text

Abstract:

Fourteen Ameletus species are recognized in the eastern Nearctic (south of the Artic zone), including six described as new. Keys to adult males and full-grown larvae are provided. Taxonomic decisions were based on morphologic and genetic evidence. Their justification is discussed in depth and four species groups are proposed. The vast majority of Ameletus encountered in the eastern Nearctic are members of one of three triploid, clonal parthenogenetic species, at least two of which are of hybrid origin. Bisexual progenitors of the parthenogens were inferred using a combination of mitochondrial and nuclear genetic markers. The parthenogens likely arose during the Late Pleistocene when glacial advances brought previously allopatric species/populations into contact, and as glaciers retreated the parthenogens rapidly expanded their range while the sexual lineages remained in presumed glacial refugia. Although parthenogenesis is relatively common in Ephemeroptera, these Ameletus represent the first known cases of polyploidy and hybrid origin.

Full text

Abstract:

Energy budgets were calculated for two populations of Ameletus occupying thermally disparate habitats. Growth, consumption, respiration, fecundity, and energy content of larvae and eggs were determined experimentally. Respiration rates increased and decreased with temperature throughout the life cycles of both species, although thermal effects became less pronounced with increased body size. Ameletus similior exhibited more uniform and consistently higher respiration values than Ameletus celer. Respiration costs were not constant over the life cycle of either species as has been reported for some other mayflies. Growth was influenced by both temperature (which affected instar duration) and body size (which affected growth ratio). Growth corresponded positively to temperature in both species, but was more uniform in A. celer. Net growth efficiency and assimilation were highest during cold periods in A. celer, but highest during warmer periods in A. similior. Consumption estimates were high even after adjustments for projected nonfeeding time, but unless food availability or handling time is limiting, the feeding rate of Ameletus relative to body mass may be higher than rates reported for other aquatic insect larvae. Several sources of error in consumption estimates existed, however. Assimilation efficiencies were low, but comparable to those for other herbivorous aquatic insects. Reproductive effort was higher in A. celer, but net reproductive effort was lower. The higher net reproductive effort by A. similior did not result in increased fecundity as expected, but in higher egg energy content. This and other factors suggest that A. similior displays more "K-selected" traits than A. celer, and indicates that greater fitness may not necessarily be synonymous with higher fecundity in all mayflies in all habitats.

Abstract:

Ameletus khasanensis sp. nov. is described and Ameletus longulus Sinichenkova, 1981 is revalidated and redescribed based on material from the Russian Far East. The structure of the penis of both species is similar to that of Ameletus costalis (Matsumura 1931), a description and drawings of which are also presented in this paper. The male imago of A. khasanensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from that of A. costalis by the absence of spinules on the dorsal surface of the fore tibia. The male imago of A. longulus can be distinguished from A. khasanensis sp. nov. and A. costalis by the color of the forewings. The larvae of A. khasanensis sp. nov. differ from A. costalis in the length of the denticles on the right mandible, in the absence of the group of setae on the dorsal surface at the base of fore femora and the width/length ratio of gillVII. The larvae of A. longulus differ from A. khasanensis and A. costalis in the form and number of the denticles of the first comb-shaped seta of the maxilla and the number of setae on the dorsal surface of the base of the fore femora.

Full text

Abstract:

The diel periodicity in density of Ephemeroptera nymphs on an undisturbed stream bottom was documented by direct observation. The study was conducted in a second-order Rocky Mountain foothill stream in Alberta. Observations were made for 24-h periods, twice during a new moon and twice during a full moon; the times of the dark and light periods were noted. Nocturnal observations were made using a red light. The abundance of drifting nymphs, incident light, percent cloud cover in the sky, and water temperature were recorded to determine if they were related to the observed diel periodicity on top of the substratum. The taxonomic groups of Ephemeroptera nymphs examined were Cinygmula, Heptageniidae (Cinygmula and Epeorus), Baetis, Baetis–Ameletus, Ameletus, Drunella coloradensis Dodds, and total fauna (all groups including minor taxa). In response to the artificial light used for observations, total fauna, Cinygmula, and Baetis nymphs were not affected by the light, and the nymphs were not found to be negatively phototactic. Total fauna and Heptageniidae nymphs exhibited a diel periodicity between 24-h periods; the Baetis–Ameletus group also had a diel periodicity. Cinygmula, Baetis, and D. coloradensis nymphs did not exhibit a diel periodicity. Most taxonomic groups were at greater densities on the top of the substratum in the dark period than in the light period. For small and large size classes of nymphs examined, only the small Heptageniidae and Baetis–Ameletus nymphs showed a diel periodicity in density. Drift of the common groups of nymphs was aperiodic and not statistically correlated with the diel density of nymphs on the substratum. In general, incident light, percent cloud cover, and water temperature were not correlated with the diel density of the taxonomic groups on the top of the substratum.

Abstract:

The male imagoes, larvae, and eggs of Ameletus allengaensis sp. nov. and Ameletus sirotskii sp. nov. from the Russian Far East are described. Based on the structure of the male genitalia, the imago and larvae of A. allengaensis sp. nov. and A. sirotskii sp. nov. are similar to those of A. camtschaticus, but the discovery of these new species and separation from A. camtschaticus were confirmed by studies of the morphology of the larvae and male imago, as well as molecular analysis. Identity of various developmental stages of the new species were confirmed by analysis of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase 1 (COI) DNA barcode, which was also used to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships within the genus Ameletus. The intraspecific sequence divergence based on the Kimura-2-parameter (K2P) distance ranged from 0.0–2.5%, whereas the interspecific sequence divergence based on the K2P distance ranged from 6.2–7.9% within A. sirotskii sp. nov., A. allengaensis sp. nov. and A. camtschaticus. Male imagoes of A. allengaensis sp. nov., A. sirotskii sp. nov., and A. camtschaticus can be distinguished by the size and location of small denticles on the ventral plate of the penis. The larvae of A. allengaensis sp. nov. differ from those of A. sirotskii sp. nov. by the size of gills I and II. In A. allengaensis sp. nov., gill I is almost twice as small as gill II; in A. sirotskii sp. nov., gill I is only slightly smaller than gill II. Both new species differ from A. camtschaticus by gill II, which does not have an anal rib on the anal margin.

Abstract:

AbstractMayflies of the genus Ameletus (Ephemeroptera: Ameletidae) occur in practically every drainage of western Alberta and in the Cypress Hills, from headwater spring brooks to larger rivers. The genus is speciose and reaches its greatest diversity in the southwestern part of the province where as many as 12 species can occur at a single site. Of the 30 bisexual species currently recognized from North America, 13 have been collected from Alberta (A. bellulus, A. celer, A. cooki, A. majusculus, A. oregonensis, A. pritchardi, A. similior, A. sparsatus, A. subnotatus, A. suffusus, A. validus, A. velox, and A. vernalis), and another, A. inopinatus, is assumed to occur in the northern part of the province. Male adults of all North American species were described previously by Zloty (1996, The Canadian Entomologist128: 293–346). In the current paper, we describe late-instar larvae and adult females of all 14 Albertan species, and provide species distributions and keys for identification of male and female adults and larvae. All diagnostic taxonomic characters are described and illustrated. The identification keys can also be used in Saskatchewan, eastern British Columbia, Montana, and the northern parts of Idaho and Washington.

Abstract:

Ameletus inopinatus Eaton, 1887 is the only arctic-alpine mayfly species found in the British Isles. Previous research in Europe using climate models has shown that the geographical range of this species is likely to contract as water temperatures increase. As such, A.inopinatus is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate warming. The impact of water temperature on the development of A.inopinatus larvae was investigated in the Cairngorms National Park in Scotland. We closely linked larval development to water temperature with snow cover playing an important role in ensuring emergence occurs before watercourses cease to flow in early summer. The results of this study confirm the vulnerability of A. inopinatus to rising water temperatures and provide new information to help target mitigation measures to prevent further losses of this species.

Abstract:

Streams in the Mongolian Altai Mountains are mostly fed from glaciers and are extreme conditions for mayflies because of high elevation, low temperatures and low annual precipitation. Previous information about mayflies of Western Mongolia is scarce, but with this study a total of 38 species belonging to 26 genera and subgenera and 8 families of mayflies has been recorded in the Mongolian Altai region. Study material was entirely imagos and collected from 78 sites during expeditions led by the Mongolian Aquatic Insect Survey in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Raptobaetopus tenellus, Caenis luctuosa and C. rivulorum are recorded as new to the fauna of Mongolia, and there are new distribution records for Ameletus montanus, Baetis (Acentrella) lapponica, Baetis sibiricus, Baetis (Labiobaetis) attrebatinus, Centroptilum luteolum, Procloeon pennulatum, Ephemerella aurivillii, Serratella setigera, Ephemera sachalinensis, Ecdyonurus (Afronurus) abracadabrus, Cinygmula kurenzovi, Ecdyonurus (Afghanurus) vicinus and Epeorus (Belovius) pellucidus from the Mongolian Altai region. Baetis vernus and Ephemerella aurivillii are the most frequently encountered species in this region.

Abstract:

Macro-invertebrates composition of Lake Geriyo, Yola, Adamawa State, Nigeria were investigated from January to December, 2019. Macro-invertebrates samples were collected from three different sites using Van Veen Grab method. Three phyla of macro-invertebrates were encountered in the Lake. They were Arthropoda represented by nineteen genera such as Ameletus, Callibaetic, Baetis (Ephemeroptera); Diura, Ostrocera and Leuctra (Plecoptera); Hydrobius, Agabetes and Stelelmis (Coeloptera); Macrostermum, Hydroptica and Setodes (Trichoptera); Chaobrus, Simulium, Chelifera, Odontomesa and Chironomus (Diptera); Ischnura(Odonata)Hesperocorixa (Plecoptera); Annelida represented by four genera such as Biomphalaria , Volvata, Bulinus and Helisoma; Mollusca represented by six genera such as Eclipidrilus, Stylodrilus, Isochaetidefreyi L, imnodrilus, Potomothrix and Tubifex. A total of 993 macroinvertebrates were recovered. Twenty-nine taxa were recorded. The higher number of taxa (28) were recorded at site II and III. The abundance of individuals was highest at site III. Arthropoda have the highest percentage composition (68.49%) by number followed by Annelids (20.04%), while Mullusca was the least (11.48%) by number. Variations in distribution of these organisms could be as a result of differences in local environmental conditions. All the macrobenthic invertebrates represented were pollution-tolerant and clean water species.

Abstract:

AbstractMayflies (Ephemeroptera) were collected from 35 sites (streams and tundra ponds) across southern Nunavut in 2002–2005. Nine mayfly species were previously reported for Nunavut: Acentrella feropagus Alba-Tercedor and McCafferty, Acerpenna pygmaea (Hagen), Baetis bundyae Lehmkuhl, B. flavistriga McDunnough, B. foemina McDunnough, Diphetor hageni (Eaton) (Baetidae), Ephemerella aurivillii (Bengtsson) (Ephemerellidae), Leptophlebia nebulosa (Walker) (Leptophlebiidae), and Metretopus borealis (Eaton) (Metrotopidae). We add 7 species to this list, bringing the total to 16: Ameletus inopinatus Eaton (Ameletidae), Acentrella lapponica Bengtsson, Baetis hudsonicus Ide, B. tricaudatus Dodds, Heptagenia solitaria McDunnough (Heptageniidae), Rhithrogena jejuna Eaton (Heptageniidae), and Parameletus chelifer Bengtsson (Siphlonuridae). Based on numbers collected, the dominant mayfly family was Baetidae. Baetis bundyae was the most common mayfly collected, particularly in coastal areas, where larvae were found in permanent and temporary streams and in small or shallow tundra ponds. Larvae hatched 2–3 weeks after ice-out and developed rapidly in 2.5–4 weeks, emerging as adults by early August. All populations containing larvae that were large enough to sex showed female-biased sex ratios, suggesting parthenogenesis. A combination of freeze-tolerant eggs, good dispersal ability, and probable parthenogenesis is probably responsible for the success of Baetidae across the Arctic.

Full text

Abstract:

Combined effects of predation by benthic and drift-foraging fish (prickly sculpin (Cottus asper) and coho salmon (Onchorhynchus kisutch) parr) on benthic invertebrate community and trophic structure were evaluated in Mayfly Creek, a previously fishless stream in the Coast Range Mountains of British Columbia. The role of microhabitat (substrate) in mediating predation effects was assessed by comparing invertebrate community structure on unglazed ceramic tiles and gravel baskets nested within enclosures. The role of macrohabitat was evaluated by placing enclosures in pool and riffle habitats. Effects of fish predation were most pronounced on tile substrate and in riffle habitat and least pronounced on gravel substrate in pool habitat. The presence of fish caused a decrease in abundance of larger-bodied herbivores (primarily the mayflies Ameletus and Baetis) and had positive indirect effects on algae and smaller invertebrates (primarily Orthocladiinae chironomids and nemourid stoneflies), probably through competitive release. In contrast with herbivores, detritivorous invertebrates were less influenced by fish predation and more highly correlated with the abundance of organic detritus. The distribution and abundance of detritivores in Mayfly Creek appear to be primarily influenced by bottom-up forces (implying resource limitation), while grazers in algal-based food chains are more strongly influenced by top-down effects (fish predation).

Full text

Abstract:

A large number of stream-dwelling animals feed on epilithic algae and must scrape or brush off food that is firmly attached to rough stones. The mouthparts of these highly specialized alga grazers are equipped with brushes, rakes, gouges, excavators, and rasps. Because they scrub across the rough substratum, these different types of feeding apparatus all become extremely worn down after a short time. The delicate bristles of brushes, the prongs of rakes, and the fine structures of rasps abrade swiftly, and often completely disappear after having been used for removing epilithic algae from stones. The blades of gouges and the scoops of excavators also wear down, but in this case abrasion usually causes only the shortening of these relatively solid tools and does not so strongly impair their effectiveness. Specific adaptations have been evolved to deal with the problem of wear. Either the grazing animals are able to repair their mouthparts frequently, or their feeding apparatus is constructed in such a way that its effectiveness is guaranteed for a long time despite the wear. Typical defects arising from use, and adaptations to wear, were studied comparatively by scanning electron microscopy of different alga grazers: insects of different orders (Ephemeroptera: Rhithrogena, Epeorus, Ameletus, Baetis, Lepeorus; Plecoptera: Brachyptera; Coleoptera: Limnius; Diptera: Liponeura, Oxycera), the isopod Ligia italica, the snail Ancylus fluviatilis, and the tropical fish Garra taeniata. Laboratory experiments with mayfly larvae showed that the mouthparts wear down when they are used to scrape a rough substratum. There was no evidence that moulting intervals were shortened by abrasion of feeding structures in mayfly larvae.

Abstract:

Species in the genus Ameles Burmeister and Pseudoyersinia Kirby (Amelini) are traditionally defined as small-sized, ground-dwelling mantids whose males are distinct for being, respectively, macropterous and brachypterous. However, comparative morphological studies across Amelini confirmed the existence of short-winged males in Ameles, suggesting that this traditional diagnostic concept does not apply to all species. Our analyses of several species from West Mediterranean localities (Canary Islands, Spain, Italy, and Morocco) resulted in the relocation of Pseudoyersinia andreae Galvagni, 1976 to Ameles as Ameles andreae (Galvagni, 1976) (n. comb.) with Ameles insularis Agabiti, Ippolito & Lombardo, 2010 as its new synonym (n. syn.), the clarification of the taxonomic identity of A. gracilis (Brullé, 1838) and A. maroccana Uvarov, 1931, including diagnoses of their males, and the description of Ameles spallanzania obscura (n. ssp.) (from Spain). We also take the opportunity to describe Pseudoyersinia maroccana (n. sp.) (from Morocco) based on museum specimens separating it from Ameles maroccana Uvarov, 1931. We also found that wing length is positively correlated to ocelli size. We discuss this trend from an ecological, evolutionary, and biogeographic perspectives to both facilitate species circumscription and justify the taxonomic modifications herein introduced.

Abstract:

Scattered taxonomic data can be used to determine the geographic distribution of arthropods such as Mantodea (mantids). The distribution of mantids is not well known in Iran and not readily determined because the literature has been published in a mix of Persian-language and non-Persian-language scientific references, including books, journals, annual congress proceedings, and final reports of academic projects. To create a national checklist of mantids in Iran, I reviewed 35 Persian and non-Persian (English, German, and Italian) publications. I recorded 57 praying mantid species from 9 families described from localities across Iran. I identified 18 species—Ameles decolor, Ameles heldreichi, Ameles picteti, Ameles spallanzania, Elaea marchali, Empusa pennata, Eremiaphila andresi, Eremiaphila cerisy, Eremiaphila turcica, Geomantis larvoides, Iris coeca, Iris pitcheri, Oxyothespis wagneri, Pareuthyphlebs palmonii, Pseudoyersinia paui, Rivetina baetica, Severinia nigrofasciata, and Severinia turcomaniae—with records in Iran that may be incorrect based on geographic ranges that do not include Iran and similarity to other species that do occur in Iran. In the proposed checklist comprising 39 species, the family Rivetinidae, with 9 species, and the 2 families Amorphoscelidae and Nanomantidae, with 1 species each, comprised the greatest and least diversity, respectively. This checklist can facilitate future studies on Iran’s mantodeans.

Abstract:

This study presents a species account of the mantises of the Maltese Islands, including notes on the ecology and distribution of each species. A total of three species are known to exist locally; Ameles spallanzania (Rossi, 1792), Mantis religiosa (Linnaeus, 1758) and Rivetina baetica Rambur, 1839. The presence of Ameles decolor (Charpentier, 1825) cannot be confirmed by any recently collected material, but the species is not excluded from the Maltese entomofauna. Two doubtful records are also discussed. All species present in the archipelago are typically found in Southern Europe and the Mediterranean basin.

Abstract:

Mantodea specimens from Jordan were collected from various parts of the country from March 2003 to November 2005. In addition, examination and identification of specimens previously housed in the University of Jordan Insects Museum and other Jordanian collections resulted in recording 16 species in four families. Mantidae included eight species in seven genera; Eremiaphilidae included four species all within a single genus; Empusidae included three species in two genera; and Tarachodidae included a single species. Nine species were recorded for the first time in Jordan: Iris oratoria, Holaptilon pusillulum, Ameles kervillei, Ameles syriensis, Sphodromantis viridis, Mantis religiosa, Eremoplana infelix, and Empusa pennata. World distribution, collecting information within Jordan, some notes on the biology, ecology or diagnostic characters were provided for each of the recorded species.

Full text

Abstract:

The recent find of an <em>Ameles spallanzania</em> population in a continental area of northern Italy permitted to redraw the northernmost edge of the distribution of this species and to study its life cycle in extreme climatic conditions. A comparison with collecting records of adult specimens from the Mediterranean area has been performed to put in evidence how this species adapts its life-cycle timings in different latitudes: hatching earlier or using nymphs to overwinter in warmer localities or oothecae in colder ones. Overwintering strategies of <em>Ameles spallanzania</em> have been compared with strategies of other genera of mantids that share the same habitat but have different life-cycle strategies and general distribution. Different developing times in mantids seem to be linked to behavioural strategies more than physiological attitudes.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract The Amele language of Papua New Guinea is one of many Trans-New Guinea languages spoken in Papua New Guinea. Amele has a negator ‘qee’ (‘q’ represents a voiced dorso-labiovelar plosive), which follows the element negated. Yet, while having verb conjugations for persons and numbers, Amele has no negative conjugation in the present tense. Typologically, some other languages, for example, Finnish, also exhibit negative conjugations of verbs, but these behaviors of the negations differ in interesting ways. This contrastive study investigates the negation of grammars in Amele (Papua New Guinea) and Finnish (Finland, Uralic), by comparing negative particles and negative verb conjugations in both of these languages, while clarifying their morphological behaviors. As such, the study describes Amele’s and Finnish’s positive-negative and present/past distinctions through their verbal morphologies and through their functional markedness in past tenses, ultimately observing these functional points in the languages.

Abstract:

Ongoing surveys for skinks of the genus Lerista in north Queensland have resulted in the collection of voucher specimens from two populations formerly assigned to Lerista storri Greer, McDonald & Lawrie, 1983 that are geographically isolated from the type population and show a degree of morphological variation differing from the type population. Analysis of recently collected material has confirmed both populations are specifically distinct to the type population, with one being more closely related to Lerista ameles Greer, 1979, another little known, north Queensland species. Consequently, these populations are described as Lerista alia sp. nov. and Lerista parameles sp. nov. The morphological diversity of L. storri is thereby restricted, necessitating a redescription. The conservation status of all these taxa is discussed.

Abstract:

The Mediterranean House Gecko, Hemidactylus turcicus (Linnaeus, 1758) is a small lizard (SVL 5 – 6 cm) belonging to the family Gekkonidae, rarely reaching 13 cm in total length. This species is widely distributed in the Mediterranean regions of Europe and neighbouring islands. The diet of H. turcicus is still relatively unknown in its natural habitat due to its nocturnal lifestyle, as is the case for its precise wild distribution. Previous sources have documented that the diet of the gecko includes mainly invertebrates, but also a large variety of arthropods, including chilopods, malacostracans, arachnids, entognaths, and insects, which make up the majority of its diet. We present here a literature review of H. turcicus‘s diet, of all its range (including introductions), with the first documented observation of predation on the European dwarf mantis (Ameles spallanzania).

Full text

Abstract:

Plato criticized Mythos for its falsity, but he uses many myths in his own dialogues on the way to attaining truth. He had a distinct standard for making use of or dismissing a myth: truth or falsity. His myths are the inseparable part of his philosophical logos. Heidegger interpreted the myths in Republic from the perspective of the truth of being. Polis is a metaphor of alētheia. The Cave myth presents a vivid picture of how to reach truth by struggling with concealment. The Er myth showed that unconcealment is destined to decline and turn to concealment. As the souls were required to drink the water of ameleta, concealment and forgetfulness entered into the essence of human being. In the essence of truth there is untruth, the counter-essence of truth. Firstly, the truth is reached by struggling with every kind of untruth. Secondly, according to the essence of being, truth of being or the presencing is in order, which means that it comes from concealment and soon goes into concealment again. The truth of being is not physis/emerging as in the Greek, but declining. The decline is determined from the start, as destiny.

Full text

Abstract:

Some giant mantid species of the genera Sphodromantis Stål, 1871 and Hierodula Burmeister, 1838 have been found spreading their distribution through the Palearctic, but none of the species have been recorded from the Adriatic coast of Croatia, where numerous local species already co-exist, such as Mantis religiosa (Linnaeus, 1758) and Iris oratoria (Linnaeus, 1758). In this study, we present the first records of the giant African mantis (Sphodromantis viridis (Forskål, 1775)), the Indochina mantis (Hierodula patellifera Serville, 1839), and the giant Asian mantis (Hierodula tenuidentata Saussure, 1869) from Croatia. A small population of S. viridis was observed in the southernmost county of Croatia (Dubrovnik); a single record of H. patellifera comes from the westernmost part of the country (Istria), while the first two specimens of H. tenuidentata were observed in the central part of the Croatian coast (Šibenik). These alien species represent three new taxa for the mantid fauna of Croatia, which now counts 9 or 10 species (depending on inclusion of Ameles heldreichi Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1882). The fast spreading of these species in Europe proves their adaptation to regions where they have arrived; thus, future monitoring of the species must be conducted in order to determine their impact on native fauna.
