Some species use multiple colors to create different effects. Most dragonflies change their body color unilaterally with maturation, whereas in a few species these changes are reversible. Both sexes of the damselfly Indolestes peregrinus show temperature-dependent reversible body color changes, with a brown color when the ambient temperature decreases and a blue color when the temperature increases. To elucidate the temperature range at which this color change occurs and the exact elapsed time for the color change, laboratory experiments were conducted to determine whether the time required for body color change was related to ambient temperature and whether sex differences affected this duration. The body color and time required for the change were recorded under four temperature conditions. Bluing was completed in a few minutes, whereas browning took several hours. Moreover, sexual differences were observed, whereby males showed a more rapid transformation to blue than that of females. Our results suggest that the rapid bluing has some importance in this species, especially in males.","PeriodicalId":11745,"journal":{"name":"Entomological Science","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44896302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, they have not been elucidated for most species, especially in the larval stages. Using laboratory-rearing experiments, this study examined the larval feeding habits of two large carabid species: Lesticus magnus (tribe Pterostichini) and Chlaenius costiger (tribe Chlaeniini). Although previous studies failed to rear these larvae on insect larva diets, the mandible morphology of the first instars described in those studies, together with subsequently obtained knowledge of the relationship between mandible morphology and feeding habits in other carabid larvae, suggests that they are earthworm feeders. Rearing experiments with three types of animal diet (insect larvae, mixed snail and slug, and earthworm diets) showed that as expected, their larvae are earthworm feeders. In L. magnus, although the larvae accepted the mixed snail and slug diet and the earthworm diet, only larvae reared on the earthworm diet reached adulthood. In C. costiger, the larvae accepted only the earthworm diet and reached adulthood. This is the first report of earthworm feeding during the larval stage for the genus Lesticus (tribe Pterostichini) and tribe Chlaeniini. The importance of these results is discussed from ecological and evolutionary perspectives.","PeriodicalId":11745,"journal":{"name":"Entomological Science","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46240795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Higashi-Kagonoto in Tomi and at Ishi-no-yu in Shiga Heights, Nagano, central Japan. Collections of flies were carried out from early spring to late autumn using traps baited with fermenting banana. Based on the present results and previous faunal reports from central Japan, major native drosophilid species collected in this study were classified into migratory (5 species), high-altitude (6), mid-altitude (14) and low-altitude (14) species. The migratory species are assumed to perform extensive seasonal migration between low- and high-altitude areas. Among these native species, Drosophila alpina (a high-altitude species) and D. moriwakii (a mid-altitude species) are assumed to pass only one generation in a year, while the others pass two or more generations. Five of the six high-altitude species are assigned as the Palearctic elements, while four of the five migratory species and 12 of the 14 low-altitude species are assigned as the Sino-Japanese elements. The mid-altitude species consist of approximately equal numbers of the Palearctic and Sino-Japanese elements. Among the high-altitude species, D. alpina and Hirtodrosophila makinoi are also distributed in high-altitude areas in Hokkaido, northern Japan. The other high-altitude species and most of the mid-altitude species generally occur in low-altitude areas in Hokkaido or the further north. The Sino-Japanese elements occurring at high and mid altitudes in central Japan are also distributed at high altitudes in southern and southwestern China.","PeriodicalId":11745,"journal":{"name":"Entomological Science","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49496087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although redistribution of food within a colony may buffer the negative effects of temporary resource shortages, colony functionality can be compromised when famine is prolonged. One of the possible effects of famine is impairment of the fighting ability of species, with cascade effects on community. Here, we investigated whether food shortage alters the fighting ability of workers of three dominant species in the Mediterranean area: the invasive alien species, Lasius neglectus and Linepithema humile, and one highly polydomous autochthonous species belonging to the Tapinoma nigerrimum complex. We performed laboratory tests of interspecific one-on-one aggression and pairwise group contests between species, with all possible combinations of artificially satiated and starved groups. Results showed that starvation had a scarce effect on the individual aggressiveness in all three species. Similarly, the outcomes of the group fights were only lightly affected, but with an important exception. The positions of species in the fighting hierarchies were in most cases clear and linear, with L. neglectus at the top. However, we found that L. humile and L. neglectus showed equal mortality when one of the two species was starved and the other satiated. Although we investigated only one aspect of competition, that is, fighting ability, our results provide a piece of the complex jigsaw of competitive interactions of ants, and suggest that food deprivation can be a determinant that alters the relationships between ants and promotes or hampers the coexistence of dominant species.","PeriodicalId":11745,"journal":{"name":"Entomological Science","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43036245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, its life cycle, behavior and morphological variations were investigated using the rearing technique. The mean duration of egg, first, second and third instars, prepupa and pupa were 4.3, 4.0, 4.0, 7.8, 1.7 and 4.7 days at 24°C, respectively. Adults and larvae used substrate, food and excrement for nesting. Mate guarding by males and associated male–male combat were observed. Head width and body size sexually varied; most males were larger than females, but some were comparable to females. Many individuals possessed undeveloped short hindwings, while some, especially large females, had long ones. As A. amicus can be reared simply, have a fairly short generation period, and exhibit interesting behavioral and morphological characteristics, A. amicus is suitable for clarifying the ecological aspects of rove beetles.","PeriodicalId":11745,"journal":{"name":"Entomological Science","volume":"25 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48992742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All the stingless bee species (Meliponini) analyzed formed a single clade, and among them the T. pagdeni mitogenome exhibited the highest gene rearrangement score, suggesting this species has an overactive evolutionary history. Especially, an unusual tRNA-Gly translocation was observed in T. pagdeni mitogenome, which broke the super-conserved atp8-atp6-cox3-G block in Hymenoptera mitogenomes. The translocated tRNA-Gly moved to a position next to the D-loop control region, and whether this translocation has a functional effect to the widely distributed T. pagdeni need further exploration.

Species of the genus Drosophila have been categorized into three classes according to their reproductive dependency on vision. Class I and II species reproduce in the darkness, whereas class III species never reproduce without vision. Therefore, in class III species, mutants at the white locus that are deprived of normal visual function are not able to be established as homozygous stocks. Drosophila prolongata is a species with a conspicuous body color pattern, suggesting that an increased importance of visual stimuli underlies the evolution of this species. In this study, to examine the behavioral dependency on visual stimuli in D. prolongata, we generated white gene-knockout (w−) mutants using the CRISPR/Cas9 system and examined their mating and fighting behaviors in light and dark conditions. The courtship and fighting activities of w− males were extremely reduced regardless of the light condition. Furthermore, wildtype males did not perform any courtship or fighting behaviors in dark conditions. Our results showed that D. prolongata is a class III species that strongly relies on visual stimuli in both behaviors.","PeriodicalId":11745,"journal":{"name":"Entomological Science","volume":"25 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47547735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
