Abstract
Abstract Isonychia japonica Ulmer, 1919 in the Japanese Archipelago is composed of two genetic lineages that live in different habitats of river ecosystems in the larval stage: clade J-U inhabits upstream and clade J-D inhabits downstream reaches. Whilst their distribution is well known, their morphology and how they have adapted to these diverse environments remains unknown. In this study, we focus on the physiological characteristics, especially the oxygen consumption, and gill morphology of larvae of these two lineages of I. japonica to infer how they adapt to different environments. Our results indicate that I. japonica of the clade J-U has a higher O2 consumption and is greatly influenced by temperature compared to the clade J-D, which is consistent with the physicochemical characteristics of their habitats. Also we show that the two lineages of I. japonica are not only divergent genetically and in their environmental habitats but also different morphologically and physiologically.
期刊介绍:
Aquatic Insects is an international journal publishing original research on the systematics, biology, and ecology of aquatic and semi-aquatic insects.
The subject of the research is aquatic and semi-aquatic insects, comprising taxa of four primary orders, the Ephemeroptera, Odonata, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera but also aquatic and semi-aquatic families of Hemiptera, Coleoptera, and Diptera, as well as specific representatives of Hymenoptera , Lepidoptera, Mecoptera, Megaloptera , and Neuroptera that occur in lotic and lentic habitats during part of their life cycle. Studies on other aquatic Hexapoda (i.e., Collembola) will be only accepted if space permits. Papers on other aquatic Arthropoda (e.g., Crustacea) will not be considered, except for those closely related to aquatic and semi-aquatic insects (e.g., water mites as insect parasites).
The topic of the research may include a wide range of biological fields. Taxonomic revisions and descriptions of individual species will be accepted especially if additional information is included on habitat preferences, species co-existing, behavior, phenology, collecting methods, etc., that are of general interest to an international readership. Descriptions based on single specimens are discouraged.
Detailed studies on morphology, physiology, behavior, and phenology of aquatic insects in all stadia of their life cycle are welcome as well as the papers with molecular and phylogenetic analyses, especially if they discuss evolutionary processes of the biological, ecological, and faunistic formation of the group.
