The present study aims to explore the hoverfly fauna based on present field sampling from the Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park. The field collection includes 454 hoverfly specimens belonging to 34 species from the park with three new country records: Graptomyza nigripes, Lycastris albipes and Volucella trifasciata. The photographs of dorsal and lateral habitus of all 34 collected species are presented. The present collection of hoverfly specimens in the park shows equal number of species in both subfamilies; Eristalinae and Syrphinae while none of the specimen collected from subfamilies Pipizinae and Microdontinae.","PeriodicalId":19728,"journal":{"name":"Oriental Insects","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73965290","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}

The fauna was fortnightly sampled using pitfall traps, set up in two stations at the wetland vicinity, during one year. Alpha diversity was evaluated by calculating non-parametric indices. Moreover, several functional traits of the beetles, such as body size, diet, humidity requirement, wing morphology and chorotypes, were studied. The GLMM test was applied to test the spatiotemporal effect and the effects of the environmental variables on the variation of beetles’ diversity. The CCA was applied to determine how environmental factors influence the functional traits of the carabid community. Catches totalled 173 individuals belonging to 18 species, 14 genera and 9 subfamilies. The most abundant species is Cicindela maura with 51 individuals (29.48%). The collected species were dominated by medium-sized body (55.55%), zoophagous (72.22%), hygrophilous (61.11%) and macropterous species (94.44). Most of them were Mediterranean (77.77%). The use of GLMM showed significant effects of the environmental factors on the Carabidae communities. The CCA demonstrated that mesophilous and zoophagous as well as small- and medium-sized species were positively correlated with the environmental factor except the soil pH.","PeriodicalId":19728,"journal":{"name":"Oriental Insects","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87181589","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 this study, we conduct the first systematic survey of Wolbachia infection by sampling 623 specimens from 46 butterfly species from 5 families obtained from tropical forests in 3 geographic regions of Thailand. Wolbachia infections were detected using three PCR primer sets: 16S rRNA, ftsZ and wsp. The results showed evidence for widespread Wolbachia infection in Thai butterflies. The Wolbachia presence was confirmed in 291 individuals from 17 butterfly species of 2 families, comprising 86 individuals from the Central Region (32 males and 54 females), 72 individuals from the Northeast Region (25 males and 47 females), and 133 individuals from the West Region (46 males and 87 females).
