This study represents the first effort to understand the temporal patterns and dynamic of the whole beetle community in arid conditions, including Scarabaeidae, Staphylinidae, Histeridae and Hydrophilidae. In addition, it is the first specifically to study the fauna attracted to dung of equines in Morocco, which is a key element in promoting the conservation of these insects in xeric environments. The taxonomic identification of 2596 beetles, collected between I.2014 and III.2015 in southern-eastern Morocco, allowed the identification of 53 taxa belonging to six families. Our study has shown that coprophilous and the Staphylinidae members were the major components of dung-associated fauna in xeric conditions in the study area in terms of the total number of individuals, followed by the coprophagous Scarabaeidae. The correspondence analysis has shown that variations of the beetle community over time are governed mainly by temperature. The biocenotic study revealed the presence of three faunal groups: summer species, winter species and a third group composed by eurythermal taxa.","PeriodicalId":323629,"journal":{"name":"Annales de la Société entomologique de France (N.S.)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115179303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Field trials with sentinel eggs of C. miles were conducted in SW Spain oak forests in which O. rudnevi was known to occur, using as positive controls sentinel eggs of both Cerambyx (Cerambyx) cerdo Linnaeus, 1758, and Cerambyx (Cerambyx) welensii (Küster, 1845), the only two O. rudnevi hosts known to date. Laboratory assays were conducted using non-choice tests and choice tests (C. miles vs. C. cerdo). Results showed that C. miles eggs were attacked and successfully parasitised by O. rudnevi in the wild, uncorrected parasitism rates (PU) being similar to those of C. cerdo and C. welensii (2.2–5.2%), and net parasitism rates (PN) even significantly higher in C. miles (8.9%) than in C. welensii (3.3%). Interestingly, C. miles sentinel eggs were parasitised in holm oak forests in which C. miles was unknown to occur, suggesting that egg-derived volatile cues were important in host location. In the laboratory, non-choice tests showed no differences in PN among C. miles, C. cerdo and C. welensii (80–88%), signifying that O. rudnevi performed alike in the three hosts. Choice tests showed that O. rudnevi did not exhibit host preference between C. miles (53%) and C. cerdo (47%). Similar tests proved that eggs of Cerambyx (Microcerambyx) scopolii Fuessly, 1775, and Prinobius myardi Mulsant, 1842, were never selected as hosts by O. rudnevi. Our results and the chorological, ecological and phylogenetic available evidence suggest that O. rudnevi behaves as an oligophagous egg parasitoid, which could be associated to other Cerambyx (s. str.) species over the Western Palaearctic realm.","PeriodicalId":323629,"journal":{"name":"Annales de la Société entomologique de France (N.S.)","volume":"190 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133523637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each studied specimen was morphologically identified and then barcoded using cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and subunit II (COII) to confirm its identification, and to detect potential cryptic species. From 211 mounted specimens, 16 Psychoda sensu lato morphotypes were recorded in Corsica and mainland France. While 14 out of the 15 species recorded in Corsica are new records for the island, two species are also new records for France and Europe, P. (Psychodocha) uncinula Quate, 1954 and P. (Chodopsycha) divaricata Duckhouse, 1968. Moreover, our barcoding approach allowed us to detect 18 haplotypes in total, including three undescribed Corsican haplotype complexes, namely P. (Tinearia) alternata, P. (Logima) satchelli and P. (Psychodocha) cinerea. With only mitochondrial COI barcodes, it cannot be asserted whether these complexes represent the within-species coexistence of various haplotypes or the existence of distinct cryptic species. In BOLD (Barcode of Life Datasystems), only 30 out of the 58 barcode indice numéros (BINs) corresponding to the genus Psychoda have a species name. All of the COI barcodes generated in this study already exist in BOLD, suggesting that the barcodes of most of the temperate Psychoda diversity are already known, but not properly named.","PeriodicalId":323629,"journal":{"name":"Annales de la Société entomologique de France (N.S.)","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122600486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
