“…The infraorder Tipulomorpha is one of the most speciose groups of flies [1–2]. According to Hennig, this infraorder included four families, Trichoceridae, Tipulidae, Cylindrotomidae and Limoniidae, of which Trichoceridae was considered the sister-group of the remaining Tipulomorpha [3–5].…”

Tipulomorpha has long been a problematic taxon in terms of familial composition, phylogenetic relationships among families and position relative to other ‘lower’ Diptera. Whole-transcriptome shotgun sequencing provides a powerful basis for phylogenetic studies. We performed de novo transcriptome sequencing to produce the first transcriptome datasets representing the families Pediciidae, Limoniidae and Cylindrotomidae using high-throughput sequencing technologies. We assembled cDNA libraries for Pedicia vetusta (Alexander) (Pediciidae), Rhipidia sejuga Zhang, Li and Yang (Limoniidae) and Liogma simplicicornis Alexander (Cylindrotomidae). Using the Illumina RNA-Seq method, we obtained 28,252, 44,152 and 44,281 unigenes, from the three respective species. Based on sequence similarity searches, 12,475 (44.16%), 20,334 (46.05%) and 17,478 (39.47%) genes were identified. Analysis of genes highly conserved at the amino acid sequence level revealed there were 1,709 single-copy orthologs genes across the analyzed species. Phylogenetic trees constructed using maximum likelihood (ML) based on the 1,709 single-copy orthologs genes indicated that the relationship between the four major infraorders of lower Diptera was: Culicomorpha + (Tipulomorpha + (Psychodomorpha + (Bibionomorpha + Brachycera))). Trichoceridae belongs within Tipulomorpha as the sister-group of Tipuloidea. Highly supported relationships within the Tipuloidea are Pediciidae + (Limoniidae + (Cylindrotomidae + Tipulidae)). Four-cluster likelihood mapping was used to study potential incongruent signals supporting other topologies, however, results were congruent with the ML tree.

“…Tipulidae is one of the largest groups of Diptera. Due to its high species richness, Tipulidae may be an excellent study group to examine patterns of local and regional diversity (de Jong et al 2008). Moreover, the members of Tipulidae are of economic and ecological importance because their larvae feed on roots and seedlings of crops and organic detritus and both larval and adult tipulids are fed on by predators (Byers and Gelhaus 2008).…”

We evaluated the relative abundance of tipulids in the Nishina Three Lakes and Lake Suwa, Japan, by capturing adult flies with light traps set around the shores of the lakes. Of the 149 individuals collected, 49 species were identified, and we described 19 newly recorded genera around these lakes. We collected seven species of adults at Lake Suwa, 27 species at Lake Aoki, 19 species at Lake Nakatsuna, and 16 species at Lake Kizaki. The most abundant species were Antocha bifida, Gonomyia (Leiponeura) incompleta, and Gonomyia sp. However, the most abundant species of each lake differed. Only A. bifida was collected from all the lakes. We calculated the Shannon-Wiener diversity index to compare the tipulid fauna among the lakes. The diversity index was the highest at 4.24 in Lake Aoki (an oligotrophic lake) and the lowest at 2.81 in Lake Suwa (a hypereutrophic lake). These results suggest that the diversity and relative abundance of adult tipulid species may be useful biological indicators for water quality assessment.

“…Similarly, spatially uniform Diptera (except Chironomidae) assemblages varied more distinctly during the season, most likely because they consisted of many eurytopic taxa which are able to colonise a wide range of habitats (cf. BRINKMANN, 1991;WAGNER et al, 1998;DE JONG et al, 2008). On the other hand, there were several Trichoptera and Diptera taxa dominating in tufa zones which either have mechanisms to cope with tufa deposition or may actually benefit from tufa formation (MARKS et al, 2006).…”

We examined responses of macroinvertebrate assemblages to environmental and temporal variations along spring source-spring brook transects in two fen habitats, sharply differing in groundwater chemistry, and compared the patterns among individual taxonomical groups. We hypothesised a different importance of environmental heterogeneity and seasonal changes primarily linked to strong tufa precipitation, which causes stronger environmental filtering in the calcareous fen. In concordance, we observed that assemblages of the more homogenous calcareous fen primarily changed over time, due to seasonal shifts in source availability and favourable conditions. Their spatial distribution was determined by the amount of CPOM, tufa crusts and temperature variation, but a substantial part of the assemblage exhibited spatial uniformity (Plecoptera, Clitellata, and especially Trichoptera and Diptera). The assemblages of the more heterogeneous Sphagnum-fen were primarily driven by water pH and substrate and the season was a notably weaker predictor. We found that different macroinvertebrate groups can display various responses to the measured variables shaping the overall pattern obtained based on the whole community. Further, greater environmental heterogeneity can result in temporally stable species distribution patterns even at very small spatial scales within a single site.
