Summary 1. The view of post‐mining sites is rapidly changing among ecologists and conservationists, as sensitive restoration using spontaneous succession may turn such into biodiversity refuges in human‐exploited regions. However, technical reclamation, consisting covering the by topsoil, sowing fast‐growing herb mixtures planting trees, still commonly adopted. Until now, no multi‐taxa study has compared technically reclaimed left with succession. 2. We sampled communities vascular plants 10...
A new species of Zoraptera from Borneo is described and figured. Zorotypus asymmetricus sp. nov. was discovered in lowland mixed dipterocarp forest Ulu Temburong, Brunei Darussalam. The represents the third known occurring on it can be easily distinguished others by asymmetrical cerci: right cercus strongly enlarged curved.
Abstract Zoraptera is a small insect order with less than 50 described species from mostly tropical and subtropical regions of the World. The current system extant based on results molecular phylogeny combined morphology male genitalia, supplemented by characters abdomen number metatibial spurs. However, fossil representatives have not yet been classified into modern most them remained in collecting genus Zorotypus Silvestri, 1913, because genitalia were observable or examined detail. In...
Zoraptera is one of the smallest and least known insect orders, with only 47 described species, mostly from tropical regions. Data on their distribution remain largely scattered throughout extensive often old and/or not easily accessible literature. Recent changes in supraspecific classification order, combined recent discoveries new species other taxonomic changes, have made understanding even less clear. To summarize update knowledge worldwide Zoraptera, we compiled a data resource...
Abstract Earwigs of the genus Canarilabis Steinmann, 1985 (Dermaptera: Anisolabididae), which is endemic to Canary Islands, were sequenced and subjected molecular phylogenetic analyses for first time. Molecular confirmed monophyly its sister relationship Eurasian Euborellia Burr, 1909, simultaneously revealed unexpected cryptic diversity among populations that inhabit individual islands. We species status C. alata (Johnsen, 1974), La Gomera, but within maxima (Brullé, 1838), three different...
Here, we present a study regarding the phylogenetic positions of two enigmatic earwig lineages whose unique phenotypic traits evolved in connection with ectoparasitic relationships mammals. Extant earwigs (Dermaptera) have traditionally been divided into three suborders: Hemimerina, Arixeniina, and Forficulina. While Forficulina are typical, well-known, free-living earwigs, Hemimerina Arixeniina unusual epizoic groups living on molossid bats (Arixeniina) or murid rodents (Hemimerina). The...
Alienoptera have been recently described from mid-Cretaceous amber and are nested phylogenetically inside the Dictyoptera lineage as sister group of Mantodea. The second known species, Alienopterella stigmatica gen. et sp. nov., is illustrated in this contribution based on a male embedded Cretaceous Burmese earliest Cenomanian age. well-preserved holotype allows clarification characteristics order. first-studied hind wings derived ground plan. membrane transparent, veins thickened strongly...
The order Zoraptera contains relatively few species, but current molecular phylogenetic studies suggest an unexpectedly high level of cryptic diversity in the with many overlooked species based on morphology alone. Latinozoros Kukalova-Peck & Peck, 1993 represents only genus monotypic Latinozorinae (Zoraptera: Spiralizoridae) one described, L . barberi (Gurney, 1938), until now. Although this has been repeatedly reported from a number locations South and Central America, it is likely...
Une nouvelle espèce cryptique de Brazilozoros Kukalova-Peck & Peck, 1993 Guyane (Zoraptera, Spiralizoridae). Le genre Spiralizoridae) comprend actuellement trois espèces originaires la région néotropicale. Nous décrivons ici une espèce: B. kukalovae n. sp. Guyane. Elle est apparentée à weidneri (New, 1978), mais s'en différencie par morphologie des genitalia mâles et sensilla basiconica sur le 10e tergite abdominal. présentons également reconstruction phylogénétique moléculaire corroborant...
Abstract Diurnal activity rhythms of carrion beetles (Coleoptera: Silphidae) were investigated in the surroundings Opava Czech Republic. Beetles collected automatic pitfall traps at two-hour catch intervals during three one-month periods spring (May), summer (July) and autumn (October) forest meadow habitats. Five Nicrophorinae species: N. vespillo, vespilloides, humator, fossor investigator Silphinae Thanatophilus sinuatus, T. rugosus Oiceoptoma thoracica occurred study sites. O. Thoracica...
Abstract The ecological requirements and biology of the Tetrigidae are almost unknown. aim present work is to contribute knowledge Tetrix bolivari, one least studied species European Tetrigidae, by investigating its seasonal daily activity, food biology, vibratory communication. Adults T. bolivari were found from March September, with greatest number detections occurring between May August. Based on study activity patterns, most activities positively correlated temperature negatively...
Groundhoppers (Tetrigidae) are a basal group of Caelifera that exhibit conservative feeding strategy associated with the consumption detritus and lower plants. We studied strategies morphology mandibles seven tropical groundhoppers from three different subfamilies occupying habitats in Borneo. investigated (1) whether mandible structures species more diverse than those previously temperate zones (2) were closely subfamily membership or occupied habitat. All displayed similar patterns, being...
