New aquatic insects from the Miocene of Australia with notes on the ecology and ontogeny of a new species of Chaoborus (Diptera, Chaoboridae)

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 10, Issue 4, July/August 2024.
Abstract We describe a diverse aquatic insect assemblage from McGraths Flat, a Miocene Lagerstätte in central New South Wales, Australia that includes representatives of Sialidae, Limoniidae, Chironomidae and Chaoboridae. The aquatic insect fossils from this deposit consist predominantly of larvae.

Rising water temperature in rivers: Ecological impacts and future resilience

WIREs Water, Volume 11, Issue 4, July/August 2024.
Warming of river water is reported globally but impacts on aquatic animal communities are complex and variable because some rivers and ecological communities are more resilient to change than others, largely due to human management. Abstract Rising water temperatures in rivers due to climate change are already having observable impacts on river ...

Long‐term effects of management intensity and bioclimatic variables on leatherjacket (Tipula paludosa Meigen) populations at farm scale

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 148, Issue 5, Page 518-527, June 2024.
Abstract Leatherjackets (Tipula spp.) are soil‐dwelling pests associated with agriculture. Land management decisions made at farm scale can have subsequent effects on their populations. Between 1980 and 2020, surveys were conducted across Scotland to collect field histories and larval population data from grassland farms.

First Record of \u3ci\u3eCephalobellus brevicaudatus\u3c/i\u3e (Leidy, 1851) Christie, 1933 (Nematoda: Oxyurida: Thelastomatoidea), from Cranefly Larvae (Diptera: Tipulidae) in Ohio, U.S.A.

, 2018
Specimens of the tipulid (cranefly) larvae Tipula (Pterelachisas) sp. Rondani (n = 118) were recovered from rotting logs in 2 forests of central Ohio from 2011 to 2016.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of the snow crane-fly Chionea crassipes gracilistyla (Diptera, Tipuloidea, Limoniidae) with phylogenetic analysis

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
The genus Chionea Dalman, is a peculiar group of crane flies with extremely short wings. In this study, we report the first complete mitochondrial (mt) genome sequence of the genus Chionea, which is a circular molecule of 15,775 bp with an AT content of ...

Generalist southern African temperate forest canopy tree species have distinct pollinator communities partially predicted by floral traits

Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 5, May 2024.
Pollination systems of tall forest trees are poorly studied, resulting from the difficulties in observing pollinator activity at canopy level and great temporal variation in flower production. Here, we observed insect flower visitors, at canopy level, to four southern Afrotemperate forest tree species bearing small, white to green flowers in a large ...

Facilitation of benthic assemblages by Bluehead Chubs: Testing the stress‐gradient hypothesis in streams

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 33, Issue 2, April 2024.
Abstract Ecosystem engineers facilitate beneficiary species by ameliorating physical habitat. The stress‐gradient hypothesis (SGH) predicts the importance of facilitation in communities should increase with physical stress but has rarely been tested in freshwater.

The feeding ecology of certain larvae in the genus tipula (Tipulidae, Diptera), with special reference to their utilisation of Bryophytes [PDF]

, 1993
Bryophytes are rarely used as a food source by any animal species, but the genus Tipula (Diptera, Tipulidae) contains some of the few insect species able to feed, and complete their life-cycle, on bryophytes.
