Abstract:

This study was carried out in a woodland on the campus of University of Western Sydney at Richmond, Australia to investigate seasonal effects and recovery speed of arboreal arthropods after disturbance. Twenty one pairs of Melaleuca linariifolia Sm. trees were sampled using insecticide spraying in a log2 nine period sequence (1-32) of weeks supplemented by additional samples to incorporate seasonal (weeks 24 and 48) and annual (week 52) samples. Using species accumulation curves, it was found that four collectors provided a reasonable representation of a tree's fauna and that a single tree doe

Abstract:

Carboniferous fossils are often found as three-dimensional voids within siderite (FeCO3) nodules. Traditional techniques of study – splitting the host concretion and inspecting the surfaces revealed – do not allow the investigation of morphology within the part / counterpart, and prevent complete data recovery. X-ray micro-tomography (XMT) and 'virtual palaeontology' can overcome such limitations. This thesis documents the application of XMT to a number of Carboniferous arthropod groups. In the trigonotarbids (Arachnida: Trigonotarbida) the technique has revealed novel features such as coxal e

The abundance and diversity of arthropods present in the surface soil layers at various forest sites in northern California were investigated, primarily at two old-growth redwood forest sites in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park and Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. A wide variety of arthropods were found, including representatives of Araneae, Pseudoscorpiones, Opiliones, Acarina, Isopoda, Diplopoda, Chilopoda, Symphyla, Pauropoda, Protura, Diplura, Collembola, Thysanoptera, Hemiptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, and Hymenoptera.

Abstract:

RNA interference (RNAi) is a useful reverse genetics tool for investigation of gene function as well as for practical applications in many fields including medicine and agriculture. Due to the variability in RNAi efficiency, RNAi-based methods are currently being developed for controlling only coleopteran insects which are known to be amenable to RNAi. The first chapter of my thesis includes findings from research to investigate what are the factors that make coleopteran insects relatively more efficient in RNAi.

The patterns of community assembly of saprophagous arthropods in bird nest boxes are poorly understood. Saprophagous arthropods from nest boxes of House Sparrows (Passer domesticus L.) and Tree Swallows (Tachycineta bicolor (Vieillot)) in southern Quebec were collected over two sampling periods (immediately post-fledging, and 60 days post-fledging) in 2007. A total of 5366 specimens (10 families, 15 species) were collected at the first sampling period and 3794 specimens (seven families, 11 species) at the second sampling period.

Abstract:

Arthropod hemocyanin and phenoloxidase are members of a group of proteins called the Type-3 copper oxygen-binding proteins, both possessing a highly conserved oxygen-binding site containing two copper atoms each coordinated by three histidine residues (Decker and Tuczek, 2000). Despite similarities in their active site, these proteins have very different physiological functions. Phenoloxidase possesses both tyrosinase and o-diphenoloxidase activity, and is predominantly involved in reactions which protect insects from infection (Kopàcek et al., 1995). Hemocyanin is a large multi-subunit protei

Body size affects rates of most biological and ecological processes, from individual performance to ecosystem function. Within species, emergent body size patterns have been formalised into prominent biogeographical and biological rules, including James' Rule (larger individuals are found at higher, colder latitudes), and the Temperature-Size Rule (individuals reared in warmer conditions grow to a smaller adult size). Body size also varies seasonally and with altitude. Yet, the patterns and drivers of these size gradients, and the degree to which they co-vary and share explanatory mechanisms,

The biology and evolution of many arthropod species cannot be understood without also considering their bacterial symbionts. In order to proliferate, many endosymbionts manipulate the reproduction of their hosts, and do so in a multitude of ways. The phenotypes that result from this bacterial manipulation have profound implications for the evolution of their hosts. These interactions will both influence, and be influenced by the abundance of the bacterial symbiont in arthropods. One of the best-studied bacterial manipulations is male-killing, where endosymbionts kill their male hosts in order
