Winter-emerging aquatic insects require an extended cold period to develop and may be negatively impacted by high winter air temperatures. Diamesa mendotae Muttkowski, 1915 is a cold-adapted, winter-emerging chironomid common in groundwater-dominated streams in Minnesota. Previous studies have found constant exposure to high air temperatures reduced adult D. mendotae survivorship, but not how short-term high temperature exposure may affect D. mendotae survivorship and reproduction. We found short-term exposure (24 or 48h) to 22 °C decreased adult D. mendotae longevity and reduced egg laying and larval hatch success, which may reduce future D. mendotae population sizes. Disruptions in D. mendotae and other cold-adapted insect populations may have broad ramifications for groundwater-fed stream ecosystems. Our study highlights the need for further research on cold-adapted insect survivorship after short-term winter temperature spikes to understand impacts of climate change beyond mean annual temperature increases.","PeriodicalId":55492,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Insects","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44253570","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}

Understanding the feeding habits in the larval stage will contribute to habitat restoration and ex situ conservation. In this study, we investigated the effects of the availability of different kinds of prey, such as Odonata nymphs and tadpoles, on larval growth of C. sugillatus. The results showed that Odonata nymphs were the preferred prey for larval growth because C. sugillatus larvae did not show significant growth on tadpoles alone. This trend was also observed in other Cybister species. Our results suggest that habitat restoration requires the development of an environment rich in a variety of aquatic invertebrates, including Odonata nymphs. In ex situ conservation, stable rearing and breeding of C. sugillatus can be made possible by providing them with Odonata nymphs as food.","PeriodicalId":55492,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Insects","volume":"44 1","pages":"226 - 234"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46251359","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}

Nemoura lexuosa has a more complex signal in which the male grouped call is composed by 2–4 repeated groups characterised by an increasing mean number of beats within successive groups and decreasing intergroup intervals. The female answer is composed of a variable repetition of beats usually with the three first intervals and the last one longer than others. An uncommon characteristic of the N. flexuosa call is the existence of a second male signal (reply or response) in the absence of the female answer. This reply is similar to the female answer, probably mimicking it and acting as a mate guarding tactic as previously proposed for the replies in other stoneflies by Boumans and Johnsen in 2015, or it could act stimulating the answer of potential female mates, but this should be confirmed.","PeriodicalId":55492,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Insects","volume":"44 1","pages":"213 - 225"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43263949","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}
