“…Biological indicators were used by many environmental agencies throughout the world to monitor the status and trends of aquatic ecosystems (Hughes andNoss, 1992 andWeigel, 2003). Flies species richness in investigated area is a key measure not only for biological status but also for ecosystem stability (Ciss et al, 2013). Patra et al (2011) showed that the species richness ranges between 1 and 5 shows moderate pollution, where larger index indicates more healthy water body but when it tends towards 1 means increase pollution and damage should be suspected.…”

Journal of Medical Entomology and Parasitology is one of the series issued quarterly by the Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences. It is an important specialist journal covering the latest advances in that subject. It publishes original research and review papers on all aspects of basic and applied medical entomology, parasitology and host-parasite relationships, including the latest discoveries in parasite biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, ecology and epidemiology in the content of the biological, medical entomology and veterinary sciences. In addition to that, the journal promotes research on the impact of living organisms on their environment with emphasis on subjects such a resource, depletion, pollution, biodiversity, ecosystem…..etc. www.eajbs.eg.net Provided for non-commercial research and education use.

“…The multi-scale model by Ciss et al . [ 123 ] explores multiple hypotheses about landing cues and demonstrates the potential of simulation modelling to advance our understanding of this process, particularly if tested against observational data. It is important to build on this with further simulation modelling studies coupled with observational or empirical research, as together they provide a powerful tool to test hypotheses about migration patterns observed in space and time.…”

“…Although a range of methods and ongoing surveillance for aphid data collection exist, the spatial coverage is patchy and overall there are limits to what knowledge can be gained by observation alone about aphid flight behaviour, without also exploring with simulation modelling approaches [ 123 ]. A recent summary of some existing aphid population dynamics models exists [ 75 ].…”

Cereal aphid movement: general principles and simulation modelling

Cereal aphids continue to be an important agricultural pest, with complex lifecycle and dispersal behaviours. Spatially-explicit models that are able to simulate flight initiation, movement direction, distance and timing of arrival of key aphid species can be highly valuable to area-wide pest management programmes. Here I present an overview of how knowledge about cereal aphid flight and migration can be utilized by mechanistic simulation models. This article identifies specific gaps in knowledge for researchers who may wish to further scientific understanding of aphid flight behaviour, whilst at the same time provides a synopsis of the knowledge requirements for a mechanistic approach applicable to the simulation of a wide range of insect species.Although they are one of the most comprehensively studied insect groups in entomology, it is only recently that our understanding of cereal aphid flight and migration has been translated effectively into spatially-explicit simulation models. There are now a multitude of examples available in the literature for modelling methods that address each of the four phases of the aerial transportation process (uplift, transport in the atmosphere, initial distribution, and subsequent movement). I believe it should now be possible to draw together this knowledgebase and the range of modelling methods available to simulate the entire process: integrating mechanistic simulations that estimate the initiation of migration events, with the large scale migration modelling of cereal aphids and their subsequent local movement.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/2051-3933-1-14) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Among the potential biological vectors able to transfer C 3 plant-derived material from the wetland to the dunes are insects, such as dragonflies (Odonata) and flies (Diptera), that have an aquatic life stage. Upon emergence as winged adults, these insects disperse and subsidise consumers in terrestrial habitats (Gladyshev et al 2011; Ciss et al 2013). Although there are ephemeral water bodies in the dunes that might support dragonfly nymphs (Arthington & Watson 1982), these small, shallow pools probably produce a small fraction of the dragonflies produced by nearby wetlands (Maltchik et al 2010).…”

Trophic structure of frog assemblages in coastal habitats in southern Brazil

et al. 2020

We evaluated the hypothesis that contrasting environmental conditions in a coastal wetland and nearby sand dunes results in frog assemblages with divergent trophic structures. We predicted that the more productive habitat (wetland) would have higher diversity of primary producers and frogs with larger trophic niches and greater interspecific dietary overlap when compared to the less-productive dune habitat. Stomach content analysis (SCA) and stable isotope analysis (SIA) were used to compare frog trophic ecology in the two habitats. We compared trophic niche size (Shannon's index) and overlap (Pianka's index; isotopic ellipse area, SEA c). Bayesian isotope mixing models were used to estimate relative contributions of basal production sources to frog biomass in each habitat. Estimates indicated that wetland frogs assimilated material from diverse basal sources (suspended particulate organic matter (POM), C 3 plants, periphyton), whereas frogs inhabiting dunes assimilated material mostly originating from C 3 plants. Both SCA and SIA revealed less trophic overlap among frogs from the sand dunes compared with those from the wetland. Dietary overlap was greater than expected at random for frogs in both the wetland and dunes. Mean overlap among isotopic ellipses (SEAc) of all frogs at each habitat was higher in the wetland (0.14&) than in the dunes (0.04&). These findings corroborate our prediction that trophic structure in the wetland is more complex than in the sand dunes. Also, as expected, we observed greater isotopic niche segregation among frogs in the sand dunes, a potential mechanism that reduces competition for limited food resources.
