    New records for Somatochlora hineana in Michigan are reported, extending the known distribution of the species by nearly 200 km to the northeast. Habitats are rich fens with shallow creeks, springs, small pools, and marl deposits

    Decline in Relative Abundance of Hippodamia convergens (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in Fall Shoreline Aggregations on Western Lake Superior

    Get PDF
    In the 1970s, migratory coccinellid aggregations on western Lake Superior shorelines consisted of over 90% Hippodamia convergens Guérin-Méneville. In 2014, the alien Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) accounted for over 80% of shoreline coccinellid aggregations and H. convergens declined to less than 10% of the total. Additional work is needed to elucidate the extent and cause of the decline of H. convergens in western Lake Superior shoreline aggregations

    No full text
    Data consists of maps displaying the number of buprestid beetles for a given species caught in each Minnesota county, and the time passed since last collection (within 20 years). The submission also includes the spreadsheet and R script used to generate the maps.We utilized a biosurveillance sampling method, namely the use of the native ground-nesting hunting wasp Cerceris fumipennis, along with University of Minnesota Insect Collection (UMSP) records, to create a checklist for Buprestidae in Minnesota, USA. We examined 5,127 specimens with Minnesota localities, documenting 107 species. Of these, 37 new state records are noted, including 11 collected from C. fumipennis nesting sites between 2013 and 2018. Maps displaying the number of beetles for a given species caught in each county and the time passed since last collection (within 20 years) are provided here as an appendix.MN Environmental and Natural Resources Trust Fund of the Legislative Citizens Commission on Minnesota Resources, project M.L. 2017 Chpt. 96 Subd. 06-06bMcLaughlin Gormley King (MGK) Fellowship, Department of Entomology 201

    A photo guide to the jewel beetles (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) of Minnesota, including beetle distribution by county, host information, and notes on biology. This guide is based on specimens housed in the University of Minnesota Insect Collection (UMSP), including buprestids collected from Cerceris fumipennis nest monitoring from 2014 to 2018.MN Environmental and Natural Resources Trust Fund of the Legislative Citizens Commission on Minnesota Resource
