Methane production in terrestrial arthropods.
We have screened more than 110 representatives of the different taxa of terrestrial arthropods for methane production in order to obtain additional information about the origins of biogenic methane. Methanogenic bacteria occur in the hindguts of nearly all tropical representatives of millipedes (Diplopoda), cockroaches (Blattaria), termites (Isoptera), and scarab beetles (Scarabaeidae), while s...
متن کاملCarbon-dioxide sensing structures in terrestrial arthropods.
Sensory structures that detect atmospheric carbon dioxide have been identified and described to the subcellular level in adults of Lepidoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera, Isoptera, Chilopoda, and Ixodidae, as well as in lepidopteran larvae. The structures are usually composed of clusters of wall-pore type sensilla that may form distinct sensory organs, often recessed in pits or capsules. In insects,...
متن کاملSpeciation and phylogeography of Hawaiian terrestrial arthropods.
The Hawaiian archipelago is arguably the world's finest natural laboratory for the study of evolution and patterns of speciation. Arthropods comprise over 75% of the endemic biota of the Hawaiian Islands and a large proportion belongs to species radiations. We classify patterns of speciation within Hawaiian arthropod lineages into three categories: (i) single representatives of a lineage throug...
متن کاملImpact of Pollution on Terrestrial Arthropods
Pollution, the unwanted and undesirable presence of a chemical or compound, is unfortunately common. The problem is global, affecting all continents and nations, and frequently crossing natural and political boundaries. Specific occurrences may be quite localized (such as waste-water runoff from mining operations) or cover exceptionally broad geographic areas (like acidic precipitation in North...
متن کاملOmnivory in terrestrial arthropods: mixing plant and prey diets.
Many terrestrial communities include omnivorous arthropods that feed on both prey and plant resources. In this review we first discuss some unique morphological, physiological, and behavioral traits that enable omnivores to exploit such dissimilar foods, and we explore possible evolutionary pathways to omnivory. We then examine possible benefits and costs of omnivory, describe the relationships...
