This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Abstract: The phylogeny of the Colocasiomyia cristata species group is reconstructed as a hypothesis, based on DNA sequences of two mitochondrial and six nuclear genes and 51 morphological characters. The resulting tree splits this species group into two clades, one of which corresponds to the colocasiae subgroup. Therefore, a new species subgroup named as the cristata subgroup is established for the other clade. Within the cristata subgroup, three subclades are recognized and each of them is defined as a species complex: the cristata complex composed of five species (including three new ones: C. kinabaluana sp. nov., C. kotana sp. nov. and C. matthewsi sp. nov.), the sabahana complex of two species (C. sabahana sp. nov. and C. sarawakana sp. nov.), and the xenalocasiae complex of five species (including C. sumatrana sp. nov. and C. leucocasiae sp. nov.). There are, however, three new species (C. ecornuta sp. nov., C. grandis sp. nov. and C. vieti sp. nov.) not assigned to any species complex. In addition, breeding habits are described for four cristata-subgroup species, each of which monopolizes its specific host plant. And, data of host-plant use are compiled for all species of the cristata group from records at various localities in the Oriental and Papuan regions. The evolution of host-plant selection and sharing modes is considered by mapping host-plant genera of each species on the phylogenetic tree resulting from the present study.

Download or read book Global Ecology in Historical Perspective written by Kazunobu Ikeya and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-10 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book primarily examines human-animal and human-plant interactions in Asian forests (Southeast Asia and Japan) and inland waters (China). For comparison, cases from the Americas (whales in the Arctic, sea turtles in the Caribbean, and plants in the Amazon) and Central Asia are also included. The relationship between plants, animals, and humans in Asia is quite unique from a global perspective. For example, "satoyama" in Japan means ecotone area, or the boundary between a village and a forest. There, as the number of inhabitants declines, bears, wild boars, and other animals increasingly ravage crops, sometimes attacking humans as well. By showing the regional nature of human-animal and human-plant interactions in Asia, this book provides for the first time a framework for understanding the world's animal and plant-human relationships. It is assumed that the relationships between humans and animals and plants during this period were diverse, including hunting, taming, semi-domestication, and full domestication. At the same time, for regions outside of Asia, the extent to which these diverse relationships were adapted and how diversity was formed is explained from the perspective of historical ecology. Customers can expect to derive perspectives on the coexistence of human-animal and plant-animal relationships from this book in the near future. The conservation of rare species, diverse habitats, and biodiversity is a central theme in considering the relationship between modern civilization and the global environment. In post-industrial Japan, one focus has been the protection of iconic animals such as storks, crested ibis, dugongs, and sea turtles, while damage to crops and humans by deer, wild boars, monkeys, bears, and other common animals has become an important social issue. How can the world's 7.7 billion-plus people live in harmony with other species? We would like to get some hints on how to solve the problems we are facing.

This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modified mouthparts group is perhaps the largest of the four major Hawaiian Drosophila clades, yet has received relatively little taxonomic attention during the past 40 years. This study reviews unplaced species and the ceratostoma, freycinetiae, semifuscata, and setiger subgroups, with descriptions of 22 new species. We hope this work encourages greater study of the biology of this important group.

Download or read book A Phylogenetic Revised Classification of Genera in the Drosophilidae Diptera written by David A. Grimaldi and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A phylogenetic system and classification of most genera and subgenera of the Drosophilidae are proposed that incorporate tribes, subtribes, infratribes, and genus groups. The new classification is based on a cladistic analysis using the computer parsimony program HENNIG86 and 217 adult morphological characters for a representative set of 120 species. A more complete matrix is provided, with 160 species in most genera and subgenera of the family. The history of drosophilid classification is reviewed, and the relevance of morphological (vs. molecular) data in phylogenetic reconstruction is briefly discussed. Position of the family in the superfamily Ephydroidea is examined and based on previously published data and new characters. The family Drosophilidae is the sister group to the Curtonotidae; this pair is the sister group to the rest of the Ephydroidea (Diastatidae, Campichoetidae, Camillidae, and Ephydridae). The Drosophilidae are monophyletic and diagnosed as possessing two basal costal wing vein breaks, a lateral seam in the pedicel, three pairs of frontal orbital setae (1 being proclinate, others reclinate), abdominal spiracle pairs VI + VII lying at base of tergite VI in males, sternite VI and tergite VII lost in males, small basal-medial wing cell lost (rederived in some taxa), and minute spines on the mesal surface of the fore femur lost. Each of the 217 characters is described and most are illustrated in detail; many are newly discovered, including features from the proboscis to the male and female terminalia. The traditional subfamily classification of the Steganinae and Drosophilinae is preserved, based on new, apomorphic evidence. An alternative classification to that of Okada (1989) is proposed, with 4 tribes, 6 subtribes, 2 infratribes, and 13 genus complexes/groups (informal categories), and all but 5 genera and subgenera are classified within these taxa. In addition, the Drosophila subgenera Hirtodrosophila, Lordiphosa, and Scaptodrosophila are each removed from that genus and elevated to generic rank. The Hawaiian drosophilids formerly placed in the subgenus Drosophila were found not to belong to this genus. Genus Idiomyia, new status, is used to include this large, obviously monophyletic group of Hawaiian endemic species, as well as the genera Ateledrosophila and Nudidrosophila. The closest relative of Idiomyia sensu lato appears to be the Zygothrica genus group (including Hirtodrosophila, Mycodrosophila, Paramycodrosophila, Paraliodrosophila, and Zygothrica). Scaptomyza, including the Hawaiian species in this genus, is monophyletic; Drosophila (Engiscaptomyza) is most closely related to Scaptomyza. The cladogram based on morphological data is compared to trees of Throckmorton, Okada, and several based on molecular data for a smaller set of drosophilid taxa. Inconsistencies between hypotheses are discussed. All higher-level generic group taxa and new genera are diagnosed"--Page 3

Book excerpt: Anyone wishing to tap the research potential of the hundreds of Drosophila species in addition to D.melanogaster will finally have a single comprehensive resource for identifying, rearing and using this diverse group of insects. This is the only group of higher eukaryotes for which the genomes of 12 species have been sequenced. The fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster continues to be one of the greatest sources of information regarding the principles of heredity that apply to all animals, including humans. In reality, however, over a thousand different species of Drosophila exist, each with the potential to make their own unique contributions to the rapidly changing fields of genetics and evolution. This book, by providing basic information on how to identify and breed these other fruitflies, will allow investigators to take advantage, on a large scale, of the valuable qualities of these other Drosophila species and their newly developed genomic resources to address critical scientific questions. * Provides easy to use keys and illustrations to identify different Drosophila species * A guide to the life history differences of hundreds of species * Worldwide distribution maps of hundreds of species * Complete recipes for different Drosophila diets * Offers an analysis on how to account for species differences in designing and conducting experiments * Presents useful ideas of how to collect the many different Drosophila species in the wild

This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flies in the Drosophila (Sophophora) obscura species group are among the most common native drosophilids in northern temperate and boreal forests; southward, into cool, montane tropical forests they are rare and localized, but diverse. Of the world’s 48 species, 18 occur in the New World, including three new neotropical species described here. Here, all New World species are diagnosed, many with images and the use of some new morphological features such as female terminalia (oviscapt and spermathecal structure). A basic phylogenetic scheme of relationships based on 19 morphological characters corresponds well with molecular trees. Type series have been rediscovered of D. algonquin, athabasca, azteca, narragansett, and seminole (all described by Sturtevant and Dobzhansky in 1936), from which a lectotype is designated for each of the first four species and the holotype is recognized for seminole. Drosophila narragansett from the eastern United States, which has been found only once in 60 years, is redescribed in detail from historical material; D. seminole is found to be a synonym of narragansett. The three new species are Drosophila chibcha, n. sp. (from Costa Rica to Venezuela and Peru), D. olmeca, n. sp. (from southern Mexico), both of these in the affinis subgroup; and D. zapoteca, n. sp. (from Guatemala), in the pseudoobscura subgroup. Significant new distributional and host records are reported for various species.
