Drypetothrips

description: Drypetothrips gen.n.
Macropterous or micropterous Phlaeothripinae; head slightly longer than wide (Fig. 2), with 2 pairs of long, capitate po setae, compound eyes equally large dorsally and ventrally; maxillary stylets wide apart and V-shaped, retracted about half-way to po setae. Antennae 8-segmented (Fig. 4), III with 1 sense cone, IV with 3 sense cones; IV–VII each with narrow, parallel-sided pedicel. Pronotum with 5 pairs of major setae, am setae longer than aa setae, notopleural sutures complete; metanotum reticulate. Prosternal basantra absent, ferna irregularly sub-circular (Fig. 5); mesopresternum weakly complete medially or reduced to pair of lateral triangles; metathoracic sternopleural sutures present. Fore femora stout, fore tarsal tooth as long as tarsal width. Fore wing parallel sided, with 3 capitate subbasal setae, without duplicated cilia. Pelta broadly triangular, wider than long (Fig. 7), campaniform sensilla usually absent, sometimes replaced by a minute seta; tergites II–VII each with 2 pairs of weakly sigmoid wing-retaining setae placed laterally, posterior pair on each tergite unusually long; tergite VIII with posteromarginal and posteroangular setal pairs as long as median length of tergite; tergite IX setae S1 and S2 slightly shorter than tube, tube slightly longer than head (Fig. 6). Male micropterous, similar to female microptera and with ocelli present; tergite IX setae S2 variable in length 0.5–1.0 as long as setae S1; sternite VIII with no pore plate.
Type species Drypetothrips korykis sp.n.
Comments. The general appearance and structure of the type species of this genus is remarkably similar to that of Kladothrips antennatus and its close relatives all of which live in pouch galls on the phyllodes of Acacia species (Crespi et al. 2004). However, macropterae of Kladothrips species have duplicated cilia on the posterior margin of the fore wing, and also have only two sub-basal wing setae. Among Kladothrips species the postocular setae are usually short, and no member of that genus has two pairs of these setae. Similarly, Kladothrips species rarely have the pronotal anteromarginal setae longer than the discal setae, and on the abdomen the pelta is slightly longer than wide, and the tube shorter than the head. As indicated above, the structural similarities between this new species and K. antennatus may be correlated in some way with life in a tightly closed gall, rather than an indication of phylogenetic relationship. This gall on Drypetes deplanchei is very different (Fig. 1) from the more open leaf-roll galls that are induced by several Teuchothrips species in Australia.

Apothecia present, sessile, roundish to lobate when old, numerous on the center of the thallus. Disk black, 0.5-1.5 mm in diam., flat, epruinose. Thalline margin concolorous with the thallus, internally with small crystals, glossy, 0.15-0.18 mm wide, raised above the level of the disk, crenate. Hymenium c. 100 µm thick, mottled bluish grey and pale brown. Subhymenium c. 200 µm thick, dark reddish brown. Epihymenium bluish grey, c. 60 µm thick, pigment unchanged in K. Asci slightly clavate, 8-spored. Ascospores simple, hyaline, ellipsoid, 9-12×5-6 µm, wall 1-2 µm thick. Pycnidia not observed.
DISCUSSION
This species was described in Lecanora but on account of the anatomical and chemical characters belongs in Tephromela, as also suggested by an annotation label by Klaus Kalb. It agrees in many aspects with T. epichlorina (Vain.) Aptroot & Lücking, comb. nov. (see below), and both were described from the same locality, but there are notably differences in the pigmentation patterns of the hymenium, epihymenium, and subhymenium. Both species differ from T. xanthonica Guzmán-Guillermo, sp. nov. also largely in apothecial pigment patterns (see key below).

description: Hissarica and “ Hierochthonia ” Prout, 1912
The features of southern Central Asian Hierochthonia species (H. pulverata Warren, 1901) (Fig. 22) and H. semitaria (Püngeler, 1902)) stressed by Hausmann (1996) are missing in Middle Asian species “ H.” alexandraria, e.g. the long postvaginal sclerite in the female genitalia, or the spoon-shaped aedeagus with a complex apical ornamentation in the male (compare Figs 22 and 23). The characteristics of Hierochthonia alexandraria are reviewed below.
The plate-shaped medial harpe (Fig. 14) and the signum with a long filiform ridge in Hissarica (Fig. 15) do not have morphological equivalents in southern species. Again, the long lamella postvaginalis and roundish dilations lateral to it figured by Hausmann (1996, Figs 144, 145) for southern Hierochthonia spp. are absent in Middle Asian species (Figs 24, 25).

Heavy metals
Survival analysis

description: Heavy metal pollution is pervasive in urban soils, and it can negatively impact the fitness of arthropods. Arthropod populations can evolve to become more tolerant or resistant to metals, but the mechanisms of these processes are understudied. Here, we tested the hypotheses of fixed adaptation and facultative adaptation in a lead (Pb)-exposure experiment using the progeny of field-collected Pardosa milvina spiders from urban (elevated soil Pb) and rural (background soil Pb) habitats. We predicted that spiders from both populations that were reared in the elevated Pb treatment would exhibit decreased body size in comparison to individuals reared in background Pb soil due to a facultative shift in metabolic investment from growth to Pb resistance, or, alternatively, that urban spiders would exhibit no change in body size across treatments, supporting fixed adaptation as a consequence of a legacy effect of urban Pb pollution. We found no evidence that exposure to elevated Pb soil had an effect on P. milvina's adult body size or survival, regardless of population origin. Our results indicate that the amount of Pb accumulated by the spiders was not sufficient to induce a measurable change in body size, or that there was a fitness cost that was not measured in the experiment, such as changes in fecundity or body condition. Overall, these findings do not provide support for fixed or facultative adaptation to Pb pollution in P. milvina; as such, future studies should investigate other possible tradeoffs, including changes in egg size, body weight, and foraging effort.

description: Offspring from field-collected spiders (Pardosa milvina) were reared on soil substrates with three concentration ranges of Pb. The spiders came from two populations (rural and urban) for a total of six experimental treatments. The spiderlings were reared on a diet of springtails and crickets until they matured and eventually died. We recorded the survival time of adult spiders (n = 41-61) and measured the carapace width of a subset of specimens in each group upon death (n= 7-15). Measurements were made with an ocular micrometer (eye piece units) and converted to milimeters.

Hissarica

description: Hissarica and Xenochlorodes
The fusion of hindwing vein Sc to the foremargin of the discal cell, the fusion of forewing vein R1 into Sc and the presence of one pair of spurs on the hindtibia are stressed in the first descriptions of Xenochlorodes (Warren 1897; Prout 1912). The delimiting characters of Xenochlorodes in comparison with Hissarica and Hierochthonia include the emarginate saccus in the type species (Fig. 16) as in Thetidia Boisduval, 1840 and allied genera, the bilobed last sternite of the male abdomen, and the valva which is emarginate between the sacculus tip and valvula. Forewing vein R1 arises from a common stalk with veins R2–5. However, Xenochlorodes nubigena Wollaston, 1858 has a rectangular saccus (Fischer & Ivinskis 2007). A sclerotized anellar complex is present in some Xenochlorodes (Fig. 16), shared by the species of Hierochthonia (incl. “ H.” alexandraria, Fig. 23d) and Hissarica (Fig. 14). Morphological difference of Xenochlorodes olympiaria compared to Hissarica and Hierochthonia is striking in wing shape and genitalia (coremata present, saccus bilobate, the last sternite bilobed in male). The hypothesis of Xenochlorodes subgenus Hissarica (Hausmann 1996, 2001) is rejected.

Typus: CABO VERDE. Santiago: “loco natali specialiore ignoto”, s.d., Bocandé s.n. (not found).
Notes. – We transcribe here the note of BOLLE (1861: 51) on the variety hispida: “ Hab. in insula Santiago, loco natali specialiore ignoto. Inter reliquias B. Bocandé inventam e pessimis exemplis imperfecte tantum novimus. Fieri potest, hanc propriam esse speciem; eximia setositate florumque exiguitate habitu saltem a stirpe Webbiana, quae probabiliter et Smithiana, magnopere recedit; tamen ab hac eam separare non ausi sumus ”; and we give here-after this loose translation: “Grows on the island of Santiago, the exact locality is unknown. We only know it [var. hispida] imperfectly from poor specimens of B. Bocandé. It may be a particular species. By the extreme hairiness of the flower and the weakness of the habit, it differentiates itself strongly from that of Webb and is probably that of Smith; however, we dare not separate it from that [C. jacobaea]”.
BOLLE (1861) described the var. hispida for the island of Santiago based on the Bocandé’s collection, currently untraceable. The specimens from B used by Bolle for the description of his varieties were destroyed in the fire of Berlin in 1943 (HIEPKO, 1987) and probably alongside those of Bocandé. LEYENS & LOBIN (1995) treated the variety as a synonym of C. jacobaea but the same authors saw and identified a specimen of Bocandé conserved at “D” as C. bravensis. However, “D” does not correspond any indexed herbarium (THIERS, 2019) and it is probably a typing error (W. Lobin, pers. comm.). The only known European Herbaria to hold Bocandé’s collections are B, FI-W and S (M.L. Gardère, unpubl. data) but S is temporarily closed for renovation. We were unable to check this specimen and to confirm or not the identification of LEYENS & LOBIN (1995). The description of Bolle is insufficient to place the variety hipida among the CVB species. Given that Santiago harbors both C. jacobaea and C. bravensis, we prefer a precautionary approach and rather consider it to be a nomen dubium.

description: Gehyra minuta King, 1982
Fig. 3.
Distinguished from other Australian Gehyra by a combination of modally 7 divided scansors under the expanded portion of the fourth toe, generally two pairs of enlarged chin shields, with the median (postmental) pair being relatively small, second infralabial notched and often in contact with postmental, low numbers of labial scales (nine or fewer supralabials, eight or fewer infralabials), a dorsal colour pattern combining pinkish brown to rufous colouring (in life) patterned by circular whitish spots and irregular short black flecks, and a karyotype of 2n=42a (King 1982).
This diagnosis applies to populations of Gehyra genetically assignable to the “ minuta clade” of Sistrom et al. (2013).
Comments. King described his new species from a small number of localities and more recent knowledge has not suggested any broader distribution for this species. We did not have significant sampling of this species and so suggest that until further data prove the contrary, it should be regarded as an endemic inhabitant of the scattered rocky ranges centred around Tennant Creek, Northern Territory. King’s description reveals this species as very short-faced compared to the other species described here, with a reduced labial count (as few as six and not exceeding nine) and relatively small chin shields crowded by the short snout so that the postmentals are often in contact with the second infralabials (a very rare exception among the other species treated here). In colour pattern it is most similar to G. pulingka sp. nov. of the Central Ranges around Northern Territory-South Australia-Western Australia border region. That species is further distinguished from G. minuta in generally having three pairs of enlarged chin shields and the third infralabial notched. Nearby populations of G. moritzi sp. nov. can be distinguished by their finely spotted colour pattern (both black and white markings in the form of small circular spots),

Hierochthonia

description: Hierochthonia Prout, 1912 and “ H.” alexandraria Prout, 1912
Prout diagnosed the genus Hierochthonia (Type species: Microloxia pulverata Warren, 1901) using external characters as antennae bipectinate up to the last apical segments; hindwing with the subcostal vein fused with the fore margin of the discal cell near to its end; hindtibia provided with one pair of spurs (Prout 1912: 204). Hausmann (1996) redescribed the genus Hierochthonia using H. pulverata Warren and H. semitaria Püngeler. Comparison of the characteristics of H. alexandraria (also Figs 9–11, 23) with those of southern species (Figs 7, 8, 22) indicates the following differences.
Both Hierochthonia-- H. pulverata and H. semitaria-- possess long, flat postvaginal lamellae and roundish lateral sclerites attached to the ostium in female genitalia (Hausmann 1996, Figs 144, 145). These structures are missing in “ H.” alexandraria and “H.” petitaria females (Figs 24, 25).
The valva in male genitalia of typical Hierochthonia has a medial harpe (Figs 22), and aedeagus is spoon shaped (distally dilated) with a complex apical sclerotization. However, “ H.” alexandraria has a tubular aedeagus with two thorn shaped cornuti on the vesica, and a simple valva (Fig. 23). Prout (1912) stressed the peculiar venation of hindwing with Sc free when characterizing “ Hierochthonia ” alexandraria. We use this synergy of differences in wing venation and in male and female genitalia characteristics to separate “ H.” alexandraria in a new genus of its own, Ratsa Viidalepp & Kostjuk, gen. nov. will be described below for this species.

Diagnosis of the B. nimala- lineage
All species in this lineage with strongly calcified and heavily ornamented valves, also in adults external valve surfaces set with large pustules, spines and short but stiff setae. Nearly all species with yellowishbrownish colour. Most species also with very pronounced anterior LV/RV overlap, most pronounced of all lineages in this genus. Some species with an inner ‘eyelet’ in the anterior part of the RV, close to the lapel, just as in the species of the B. barangaroo lineage (see Martens et al. 2013), to which this lineage is most closely related.

description: With the global push for sustainable energy solutions, microalgae have gained attention as a promising biofuel source, with new methods like virus-assisted lipid extraction making algae-based biofuels more cost-effective. This thesis investigated the interaction between Chlorella algae and Paramecium bursaria chlorella virus-1 (PBCV-1) using variations of the SID (Susceptible-Infected-Dead) model to improve algae biofuel production. By leveraging epidemiological modeling, the thesis aimed to understand viral infection dynamics in algae and optimize the viral infection for efficient and effective lipid extraction for biofuels. Two distinct experimental setups were conducted to evaluate how environmental conditions impact infection outcomes. Mathematical models, including SID and SEID (Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Dead) versions, were calibrated using Bayesian inference and nonlinear optimization to estimate critical parameters such as infection and mortality rates. Key findings reveal that the Susceptible-Infected-Dead model with variable initial infection (SIDVII), which included the initial concentration of infected algae as a model parameter, offered the most reliable fit by balancing biological relevance and statistical performance. In contrast, the SEID-based models, while able to capture a latent infection phase, posed risks of overfitting with too many parameters. The study emphasized the complexity of applying modeling tools to characterize viral infections at scale, suggesting that future research should address potential trade-offs between lipid productivity and infection dynamics. The findings offer potential insights not only for biofuel production but also for broader ecological management strategies, including the targeted control of harmful algal blooms.
