Authors: Moustafa Mohamed A.
Published: July 2010

The Bees of the Genus Andrena Fabricius (Hymenoptera, Apidae) from Egypt and Adjacent Areas

To provide a basis for further investigations on occurrence, distribution, and biology of wild bees of the genus Andrena FABRICIUS, 1775 in Egypt, nearly 2150 specimens collected by the author or stored in various collections have been examined. Furthermore, all literary statements concerning Andrena species from Egypt, Libya, the Sudan, Palestine, and Saudi Arabia have been analysed critically. In this study, a total of 196 species and subspecies, respectively, could be found out to occur in that area. A list of these taxa is given, including the data known for the individual species (or subspecies) with regard to its general distribution, occurrence in Egypt and in the adjacent regions, ecology, and seasonal activity. Remarks on the taxonomic status of some species are added.

Gustav C. U. Cederström and His Role in Schoedler's Contributions to Cladocerology
Authors: Lieder Ulrich
Published: July 2010

GUSTAF C. U. CEDERSTRÖM, 1806–1898, was an instructor of fisheries and fish culture of the Swedish state. He was in contact with the zoological experts of his time, among others with the German cladocerologist J. E. SCHOEDLER, the founder of the Berlin school of cladocerologists. In the sixties of the past century SCHOEDLER received a large number of plankton samples collected by CEDERSTRÖM in the years 1858–1866 from various parts of Sweden. On the basis of this material SCHOEDLER described several new taxa. The name of CEDERSTRÖM is attached to three cladoceran species documenting his importance in cladocerology. On the basis of the original material deposited in the Zoological Museum of the Humboldt‐University of Berlin, G.D.R., these species are re‐examined. Some considerations on the generic and subgeneric discrimination of the genus Daphnia are presented.

Impact of Space on Stadial Period, Adult Longevity, Morphometry, Oviposition, Hatching, and Prey Capturing in Rhinocoris marginatus Fabricius (Insecta, Heteroptera, Reduviidae)
Authors: Vennison S. John , Ambrose Dunston P.
Published: July 2010

Rhinocoris marginatus (FABR.) is found to be a potential biological control agent on various insect pests. Adults and nymphal instars of R. marginatus, collected from the scrub jungles and semiarid zones, were reared in plastic containers of different volumes, viz., 85 ml., 170 ml., 340 ml., under laboratory conditions. Individuals reared in 85 ml. containers take less time in capturing their prey. Increase in the volume of containers causes early oviposition and higher fecundity and hatchability. Adults reared in containers of 170 and 340 ml. oviposit bigger eggs than the adults reared in 85 ml. containers. Individuals reared in 340 ml. containers emerge first followed by individuals reared in 170 ml. containers. Decrease in volume of the container causes increase in the longevity of the adults. Space has also a direct effect on the adult morphometry of various regions.

Mating Behaviour and Spermatophore Transfer in Gryllodes sigillatus (Walker) (Orthoptera: Gryllidae)
Authors: Subramaniam M. , Subramoniam T.
Published: July 2010

Aspects of mating behaviour such as male readiness for mating, female receptivity, male courtship behaviour, mating and post mating behaviour of female have been studied in Gryllodes sigillatus. Male is ready for mating at 72 hours after adult emergence. Female is receptive at 36 hours after adult emergence. The forewings and antennae of male play a significant role in producing the ‘chirping’ sound to attract the female and in recognising the opposite sex by contact chemoreception, respectively. In addition, male releases a bubble like, transparent and gelatinous material, the mating jelly prior to mating. Mating lasts for about 3 to 4 minutes during which the spermatophore along with mating jelly is transferred to the genital aperture of the female. Soon after mating, the female removes the mating jelly and retains in its mouth for chewing. The spermatophore is retained in the genital aperture for sperm release. After about 29 minutes, the empty spermatophore is either discarded or eaten up by the female.
Die Otolithen der Macropodus‐Arten (Pisces, Belontiidae)
Authors: Paepke Hans‐Joachim
Published: July 2010

The Otoliths of the Species of the Genus Macropodus (Pisces, Belontiidae)

The sagittae of the three Macropodus species opercularis, concolor and ocellatus (formerly chinensis) as well as their hybrids are described and sketched. Characteristic for the species of the genus Macropodus are sagittae with a prominent rostrum, a deep exisura ostii, and a projected predorsal angle. The sligthly S‐sharped cauda is the largest part of the sulcus while the ostium is not completely developed. The cauda has only an anterior opening. But in some cases there is a shallow channel or groove connecting the end of the cauda with the posterior notch. The crista superior is prominent while the crista inferior shows only a sharp edge. A caudal colliculum can be discerned on some otoliths.

Adult males of the three species can be recognized on the basis of their otoliths as follows: The sagittae of M. concolor are the largest. Their dorsal rim is frequently very deeply furrowed or notched, a posterior notch is mostly well developed. The sagittae of M. opercularis are mostly circular in shape and their rims are not very deeply furrowed, but only waved. The sagittae of M. ocellatus are the smallest with an inferior rostrum, frequently with smooth rims and often almost trapeze shaped.

The results are partly in conformity with the evidences given by LIEM (1963) about the otoliths of the Belontiidae but a colliculum as well as parts of an ostium – not identified by LIEM in these fishes – were found by the author.

The marked differences between the sagittae of M. opercularis and M. concolor support the species level of the latter, a fact, which has been discussed long.

Die Art als Taxon und als Einheit der Natur
Authors: Willmann Rainer
Published: July 2010

Species as Taxa and as Real Units of Nature

According to our current assumptions only species in the sense of the smallest reproductively isolated populations are real units of nature (natural taxa sensu WILEY). Their existence begins with the origin of that state of being, which arises through the occurrence of reproductive isolation, and ends by dissolution into new units, which are reproductively isolated from eachother, or by extinction. The description of the species in that sense is implicit in the biological species concept. Within the frame of biological systematization, research on species as real units of nature leads to species‐taxa, which are a reflexion of our knowledge of the natural taxa.

The biospecies concept and the reconstruction of natural taxa (biospecies and monophyla) are, however, not the only foundations of taxonomy. Within the frame of classification (as contrasted to systematization), taxa may be constructed as arbitrary groupings of organisms. Adherence to character‐related species concepts, e.g. ecological concepts, the evolutionary species concepts (in part) and the recognition concept of species, does not allow for a reconstruction of species as real units in nature.

The conclusion is arrived at that biosystematics as a branch of the natural sciences is to be understood as the science of the reconstruction of natural taxa.
Über die Natur der Arten und monophyletischen Taxa
Authors: Löther Rolf
Published: July 2010

On the Nature of Species and Monophyletic Taxa

The biological species problem does not belong to the philosophical dispute about universals. The species category denotes a class of individual biosystems. Typological as well as nominalistic species concepts are special versions of the class concept of species. There are different kinds of species in nature. Monophyletic higher taxa are “closed phyletic communities of nature” (Ax), and ‐ more general ‐ “historical groups” (WILEY). They are an ontological phenomenon sui generis.
Europäische Wasserfrösche (Anura, Ranidae) und biologisches Artkonzept
Authors: Günther Rainer
Published: July 2010

European Waterfrogs (Anura, Ranidae) and the Biospecies Concept

Next to biological species there exist a series of organisms, among them European waterfrogs, which do not comply with the criteria required for the biospecies concept. Forms such as Rana ridibunda, R. lessonae, R. perezi, R. epeirotica, R. shqiperica and probably R. saharica can be considered to be semispecies and therefore fit within the usual nomenclatural terms as biospecies. However, Rana kl. esculenta, the Graf's hybridfrog and the Italian hybridfrog, do not comply with any of the main characteristics which the greater part of evolutionary biologists adscribe to biological species. These forms should be included within another category of the species group ‐ the category klepton. According to previous suggestions, it is recommended that the klepton category be designated by the obligatory abbreviation „kl.”︁ between the genus and the klepton name, otherwise the forms may nomenclaturally be treated like biospecies.

The binominal designation for parthenogenetic, gynogenetic and other groups whose reproduction modus differs from that of biospecies also simulates a situation that does not exist in reality. Therefore, other taxonomic and nomenclatural procedures should be searched to designate such forms.

Über die Bedeutung autochthoner Parasitoidenkomplexe bei der rezenten Arealexpansion von vier Phyllonorycter‐Arten in Europa (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera)
Authors: Mey Wolfram
Published: July 2010

On the Significance of Native Parasitoid Complexes in the Current Range Extension by Four Phyllonorycter Species into Europe (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera)

The recently arrived Phyllonorycter species had been originally distributed in different regions: southern Europe (Ph. leucographella, Ph. platani), the Ukraine (Ph. medicaginella), Japan (Ph. issikii). These invading species are being parasitized by many parasitoids. Most of the latter are relatively polyphagous species, usually Eulophidae. They are members of the parasitoid communities preying on indigenous Phyllonorycter species and other leaf miners.

The invasion of Ph. plateni has been accompanied by expansion of the gregarious parasitoid, Minotetrastichus platanellus, which is also believed to be native to southern Europe. The other Phyllonorycter species are attacked by resident parasitoids only.

The composition of the parasitoid community differs from host to host: each leaf‐miner has its own complex and can be characterized by the relative abundances of the parasitoid species present.

The percentage of parasitism varies greatly according to the host. Very low values of parasitoid‐induced mortality are found in the arboricolous and herbaceous species, thus rendering their populations unregulated, at least by parasitoids. Only Ph. leucographella appears to be restricted in population growth by parasitoids. Consequently, the Phyllonorycter populations are increasing and have attained large populations which encourage further expansion. Thus, parasitoids are ineffective in preventing the continuing invasion by their Phyllonorycter hosts.

In discussing the reasons for the minor impact of parasitoids, three aspects are emphasized: 1) the degree of relationship among the Phyllonorycter species and the concomitant influence on parasitoid composition and effectiveness; 2) the joint action of idiobionts and koinobionts as the basis of sufficient suppression of the hosts; and 3) the continuing naturalization of “exotic” Phyllonorycter species as a process of their integration into native ecosystems against an ecological and evolutionary background.

Species Decline and Species Protection in Insects

The rate of speciation and the retrogression of the global species number of animals is estimated on the base of the equations of PEARL/VERHULST and MAC ARTHUR/WILSON. With a better knowledge about the realistic number of arthropode species in the tropics (30 Mio) the percentage of arthropods (from 75% to 98.3%) in the world fauna increased.

Coincidental the global retrogression rate of animal species numbers increased by the actual rate of deforestation in the tropical moist forests (80%/20 years). Although in Middle Europe the faunistic situation is another, nevertheless the rate of faunal retrogression surpass the rate of speciation at least twohundredfold (to fivethousandfold). Actual dates about the number of threadened and endangered insect species in Middle European countries are compared with the rate of species died out. Some particularities of insect species protection as an integrated part of a new strategy of natur conservation are discussed.

Zur geographischen Variation eidonomischer Merkmale bei der Sandviper (Vipera ammodytes)
Authors: Biella Hans‐Jürgen , Blättler Emil
Published: July 2010

On the Geographical Variation of Eidonomic Characteristics of the Sandviper (Vipera ammodytes).

Pholidosis, horn differentiation, colour and pigmentation of the nose‐horned viper (Vipera ammodytes) show a big variability within the European range of the species. These characteristics vary even within closely neighboured populations, showing an extended general variability and the following tendencies with decreasing latitude (North‐South‐cline): decrease in ventralia numbers, increase in nose‐horn differentiation, increase in horn length/snout height ratio, increase in variability of colour and pigmentation. Following these results, we propose to classify all populations into two clearly distinct subspecies, a western one (Vipera ammodytes ammodytes) and an eastern one (Vipera ammodytes meridionalis). The following former subspecies should be included as local populations (“minor subspecies” sensu BÖHME 1987): V. a. montandoni, V. a. ruffoi, V. a. gregorwallneri, V. a. illyrica.

Lucilia bufonivora MONIEZ, 1876 – an Euryxene Parasite of Amphibians (Insecta: Diptera: Calliphoridae)

Lucilia bufonivora is regarded as one of the most important parasites of European amphibians. However, this species is faintly investigated. Especially its taxonomic status has been unclear for decades until the separation from the closely related L. silvarum was shown by electron microscopic and other studies. Own investigations and those of other authors were used in this survey which covers egg deposition, larval development, host spectrum, and ecological position of this species.
