The katydid species Metrioptera bicolor Philippi displays distinct wing dimorphism. In this paper, we recorded the calling songs of two wing morphologies of the species and observed the acoustic generators under stereoscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The two wing morphologies showed differences in acoustic signals but no obvious differences in morphological traits. The individuals with long hind-wings produced an energetic call, i.e., the calling songs with longer pulse duration but shorter interval. Therefore we infer that the advantage of acoustic signals is a compensation for the weakness in reproduction. Furthermore, some molecular tests were performed to clarify the differences between them at a molecular level. The individuals with long hind-wings got together, while the short-winged individuals were in a group. We proposed that the molecular difference has already existed between these two groups at birth. From the consistency of the stridulatory organs and the differentiation of the acoustic signals, we could infer the behavioral traits might evolve rapidly than the morphological features.","PeriodicalId":51200,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the American Entomological Society","volume":"38 1","pages":"855 - 865"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85718750","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 field research was conducted between Iğdır and Doğubayazıt district of Ağrı Province Turkey in the summer of 2020. According to the results, adults of C. kindermanni feed on S. tragus starting on the rosette stage of this weed. Mating occurs on the ground among young plants, and eggs were laid on roots attached with a glue-like secretion. The legless larvae are freely able to move in sandy soil to reach lateral branches of roots for feeding. The mature larva prepares a solitary soil-case for pupal development in the soil near the host plant root. New generation adults hibernate inside the chamber until emergence from soil in early spring. This species produces one generation in a year in the Ağrı Mountain lowland desert habitat.

It is unclear whether the acoustic characters of insect calling songs are correlated with insect genetic divergence. Here, we analyzed the genetic distance using 16S rDNA and cytochrome b sequences and calculated acoustic distance by the intensity distribution histograms statistic on the spectrograms of calling songs. After the alignment, 510 bp of cytochrome b and 542 bp of 16S rDNA sequences were used to calculate the genetic pairwise distance. The Neighbor-Joining phylogenetic analysis of both sequences was generally concordant with taxonomy. For acoustic signals, the L1 norm distance was in the range of [0.133, 0.434], showing a good reflection of the “vocal print” of the species. Finally, based on the two genetic distance matrice and one acoustic matrix, a multiple regression analysis was performed. The cubic regression diagram formed an upward sloping surface, suggesting that the genetic distance was positively correlated with the acoustic distance. This study demonstrates that the evolution rate of mating signal is sufficient in accordance with the gene at an interspecies level in insect.","PeriodicalId":51200,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the American Entomological Society","volume":"36 1","pages":"867 - 882"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89785116","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}

This species has an enormous native range in South and Central America that extends from subtropical Argentina (38.1°S) to tropical Costa Rica (10.4°N). The earliest known records of G. triangularis outside its native range were from Florida beginning in 1985, with subsequent published records from Alabama (1996–) and Mississippi (2002–). Here, we present new records of G. triangularis documenting further expansion of populations in the southeastern US, including first published site records from Texas (2013–), Louisiana (2019–), and South Carolina (2019–). In the southeastern US, G. triangularis occurs in a wide range of habitats, from relatively intact forest to highly disturbed urban sites. Its northernmost site records are from South Carolina (34.1°N), but based on its South American range, G. triangularis may have the potential to spread further north. Gnamptogenys triangularis readily consumes the greenhouse millipede, Oxidus gracilis (Koch), a cosmopolitan species originally from Asia, which is now very common in disturbed environments of the southeastern US, so potential prey for G. triangularis may be plentiful throughout this region.","PeriodicalId":51200,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the American Entomological Society","volume":"77 1","pages":"819 - 825"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83978706","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}
