“…These differences have been shown to coincide with deep phylogenetic splits in mtDNA and other markers in some cases, for example in the separation of subspecies of the North American coastal Cicindela dorsalis on either side of the Florida Peninsula and the sand dune associated Cicindela limbata exhibiting distinct subgroups in Alaska and Nova Scotia (Knisley et al, 2008). Likewise, studies on the European Cicindela hybrida showed high levels of differentiation in mtDNA among local groups, although these mtDNA groups were not always congruent with morphological differences and a nuclear marker (Cardoso et al, 2009).…”

“…The genus Cicindela (L.) is of such popular interest that North American species can be identiÞed using one national (Pearson et al 2006) or several regional Þeld guides (Graves and Brzoska 1991, Knisley and Schultz 1997, Leonard and Bell 1999, Choate 2003. Despite being well known, new species and subspecies of North American Cicindela are regularly being described (Morgan et al 2000, Knisley et al 2008, and some taxa may have gone extinct soon after discovery (Knisley and Fenster 2005). Overall, Pearson et.…”

North American tiger beetles (Cicindela spp. L.) have been reared in the laboratory for more than a century, and here we summarize the relevant literature to develop a general rearing protocol. We used this protocol to experimentally overwinter adults in the laboratory and observe variation in oviposition and fecundity among several species. Overwintering experiments, involving Þve North East North American Cicindela species with spring-fall life historiesÑCicindela repanda (Dejean), Cicindela hirticollis (Say), Cicindela purpurea (Olivier), Cicindela scutellaris (Say), and Cicindela tranquebarica (Herbst)Ñ demonstrated that both a long cooldown (20 to 4ЊC by a degree a day) and a short photoperiod (8:16 [L:D] h) maximized survival and minimized overwintering weight loss, which varied between species and sex. Observations of oviposition, larval abundance and larval development involving Þve Cicindela species with summer life histories revealed that Cicindela punctulata (Olivier) produced more Þrst-instar larvae than Cicindela abdominalis (F.), Cicindela dorsalis dorsalis (Say), Cicindela puritana (Horn), or Cicindela unipunctata (F.) and that high mortality due to accidental desiccation may be overcome by rearing larvae individually in tubes rather than in bins. We also present a Þrst account of larval rearing of the federally threatened species C. puritana and the northern MarthaÕs Vineyard population of the federally threatened species C. d. dorsalis. Notably, C. d. dorsalis produced fewer larvae than more common species reared in this study. We conclude that rearing large numbers of larvae is feasible with endangered as well as common species and we propose future improvements for rearing as part of conservation efforts.

“…Yukon lupine (Lupinus kuschei) is a globally vulnerable species primarily found in the Yukon Territories, but with disjunct populations in the dunes. Additionally the dunes are the habitat for rare and/or endemic subspecies of animals including an endemic sandy tiger beetle (Cicindela limbata nogahabarensis) [33] and the rare Alaska tiny shrew (Sorex yukonicus). 190-640 ± 60 C 14 -year-old spruce forests preserved and exposed within the active dune field reveal more recent cycles of dune stabilization and reactivation [30].…”

This study uses an airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) survey, historical aerial photography and historical climate data to describe the character and dynamics of the Nogahabara Sand Dunes, a sub-Arctic dune field in interior Alaska's discontinuous permafrost zone. The Nogahabara Sand Dunes consist of a 43-km 2 area of active transverse and barchanoid dunes within a 3200-km 2 area of vegetated dune and sand sheet deposits. The average dune height in the active portion of the dune field is 5.8 m, with a maximum dune height of 28 m. Dune spacing is variable with average crest-to-crest distances for select transects ranging from 66-132 m. Between 1952 and 2015, dunes migrated at an average rate of 0.52 m a −1. Dune movement was greatest between 1952 and 1978 (0.68 m a −1) and least between 1978 and 2015 (0.43 m a −1). Dunes migrated predominantly to the southeast; however, along the dune field margin, net migration was towards the edge of the dune field regardless of heading. Better constraining the processes controlling dune field dynamics at the Nogahabara dunes would provide information that can be used to model possible reactivation of more northerly dune fields and sand sheets in response to climate change, shifting fire regimes and permafrost thaw.
