These are: L. aculeata spec. nov., L. ashei spec. nov., L. bierigi spec. nov., L. bicornis spec. nov., L. boliviana spec. nov., L. brooksi spec. nov., L. compacta spec. nov., L. curtipennis spec. nov., L. denticulata spec. nov., L. dubiosa spec. nov., L. ecuadoriensis spec. nov., L. elongata spec. nov., L. hanagarthi spec. nov., L. karinae spec. nov., L. katharinae spec. nov., L. lescheni spec. nov., L. nigerrima spec. nov., L. nigrita spec. nov., L. obscura spec. nov., L. pampana spec. nov., L. peruana spec. nov., L. silvicola spec. nov., L. somoleptoides spec. nov., L. surinamensis spec. nov., L. triangula spec. nov., and L. verhaaghi spec. nov. The following species described under Lithocharodes were transferred to the genus Somoleptus Sharp, 1885: S. cavicola (Blackwelder, 1943) (comb. nov.) and S. strigulata (Blackwelder 1943) (comb. nov.). The following four species described under the genus Somoleptus were transferred to Lithocharodes: L. bicolor (Sharp, 1885) (new combination) and S. gracilis Sharp, 1885 (new synonymy), which is conspecific with L. bicolor; L. clavicornis (Erichson, 1839) described as Leptacinus clavicornis and transferred to Somoleptus by Sharp (1885) (new combination); L. elegans (Sharp, 1885) (new combination); L. gracilis, L. rambouseki, L. cameroni (new synonymies) are conspecific with L. fusciventris Sharp, 1885. New records from the West Indies and Central America were given for L. floridanus (LeConte, 1880) and L. nigripennis (LeConte, 1863). Lectotypes were designated for L. fusciventris, L. gracilis, L. fuscula, and L. spinigera.

Abstract

Earthworms are an important soil taxon as ecosystem engineers, providing a variety of crucial ecosystem functions and services. Little is known about their diversity and distribution at large spatial scales, despite the availability of considerable amounts of local-scale data. Earthworm diversity data, obtained from the primary literature or provided directly by authors, were collated with information on site locations, including coordinates, habitat cover, and soil properties. Datasets were required, at a minimum, to include abundance or biomass of earthworms at a site. Where possible, site-level species lists were included, as well as the abundance and biomass of individual species and ecological groups. This global dataset contains 10,840 sites, with 184 species, from 60 countries and all continents except Antarctica. The data were obtained from 182 published articles, published between 1973 and 2017, and 17 unpublished datasets. Amalgamating data into a single global database will assist researchers in investigating and answering a wide variety of pressing questions, for example, jointly assessing aboveground and belowground biodiversity distributions and drivers of biodiversity change.

23. Seasonal shift in carabid phenology over a period of 18 years.

Abstract

The present study is based on a 20-year study of fields that were previously farmed conventionally and then changed to being farmed organically and a 10-year study of a conventionally farmed field in south-eastern and central Schleswig-Holstein, North Germany, respectively. The carabid beetles were sampled throughout each year using pitfall traps. The analysis aimed to study the changes in the phenology in terms of activity-density associated with changing climate. Climate data revealed an increase in temperature during the period of this study, which was not significant during the single study periods, but significant if a longer period of 70 years is considered. In particular, spring temperatures (March/April) increased. Approximately 36% of the species became active earlier. For 25% of the species their earlier start was not significant but nevertheless associated with temperature increase in spring or the number of cold days (< 0°C) and warm days (> 5°C) in March/April. In total, the earlier start of 69% of the species can in some way be associated with a change in climate in spring. Species with a flexible response to temperature were mostly indifferent to the temperature increase. Comparisons of the data over the 30-year period indicate that the process lasted for at least one to three decades. It is likely that the changes in biological processes caused by global climate change will affect the composition of species and competition between them in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

28. Seasonality of Carabid Beetles on an Organic Agricultural Field and Its Effect on Foraging Use.

Abstract

Ground beetle species from marginal areas invade organically farmed fields in a higher abundance and species richness than conventionally farmed fields. Seasonal invasion into organic fields was studied at Ritzerau Manor, converted to organic farming 18 years ago. Carabid species were explored with 123 pitfall traps within the field and in marginal near-natural habitats over the 18 years after conversion. For 56 species, seasonality could be studied in a distance gradient from the field margin to the field center. The results revealed that ground beetles from marginal habitats can use the fields differently depending on their seasonal activity. Early and fast-moving species can reach the center of the field at a 240 m distance from margin; late and slowly moving species only reach the 120 to 60 m distance level. The foraging effect of species, thus, depends on the seasonality and duration of activity. Overall, marginal species make up to 35% of the total foraging of ground beetles. Thus, organic farming not only supports a closer interaction between farmland and the adjacent near-natural landscape, but also benefits from higher biological pest control by immigrating marginal species.

Abstract

The Neotropical material of the genus Eleusis deposited in the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, USA, containing 440 specimens in 18 species, was studied. Additionally, specimens from French Guiana collected by J. Schmidl, Germany, were included. New records of eight rare species were listed and sampling details noted. Three new species were found: E. mazureki spec. nov., E. dybasi spec. nov., and E. chiriquensis spec. nov. The new species are described and integrated in the key to Neotropical Eleusis provided by Irmler (2017). Furthermore, corrections to the same paper are necessary. These are: Eleusis platysoma Irmler, 2017 is transferred to the genus Inopeplus (Salpingidae); Eleusis fauveli Irmler, 2017 is preoccupied by Eleusis fauveli Fagel, 1957 and E. fauveliana new name proposed for the former, and the location of holotype deposition of E. rufipennis is added.

39. Matter turnover in the oligotrophic restinga ecosystem and the importance of the key species Clusia hilariana.

Abstract

Restingas are sandy areas spread along the Brazilian coast made up of a mosaic of forest and open woodland vegetation adapted to varying conditions of aridity, oligotrophy and salinity. Two vegetation types are very common in southeast Brazilian restingas, open Clusia formations and seasonally dry forest formation. Litter production and nutrient (C and N) turnover were studied comparatively in forest formations and Clusia formations, in vegetation patches with and without Clusia hilariana. The results showed that the breakdown process is extremely retarded in Clusia formations, with or without C. hilariana, leading to C accumulation in the soil. Microbial and soil fauna activity is lower in Clusia formations in comparison to forest formations; patches without Clusia hilariana showed intermediate conditions regarding total matter and carbon loss. Nitrogen loss was lowest in patches without C. hilariana, where soil micro-organisms accumulate N during the decomposition process, such as in the forest. The ratio of lignin in litter and the slow release of N reinforce the importance of the dominant tree Clusia hilariana as a potential key species for organic matter turnover. The accumulation of organic matter under the Clusia formation vegetation may be determinant for the humus richness of some bodies of water in the restinga, demonstrating the importance of this species to the ecosystem.

Abstract

A review of the Neotropical species of the genera Pseudespeson Lecoq, 1994 and Espeson Schaufuss, 1882 has been performed. Whereas no new species could be added to the genus Pseudespeson Lecoq, 1994, six new species were found in the genus Espeson Schaufuss, 1882. These are: E. adisi n. sp., E. dybasi n. sp., E. franiae n. sp., E. hermani n. sp., E. pecki n. sp., and E. simplex n. sp. One species, E. lenkoi Scheerpeltz, 1970, is synonymised with E. moratus Schaufuss, 1882. Thus, in total, 2 species of Pseudespeson Lecoq, 1994, and 13 species of Espeson Schaufuss, 1882 are actually known from Central and South America including the West Indies.

Abstract

In 2009, the staphylind fauna was studied in six habitats of the Baltic Sea coast of Schleswig-Holstein (northern Germany). The following habitats lagoon, sandy beach, shingle beach, primary dune, wooded cliff, and woodless cliff were significantly separated by their species composition. Vegetation and soil moisture were the most important factors separating the assemblages. Lagoons exhibited the most species-rich habitat. Sandy beaches provided the highest number of endangered species. Both sandy beaches and woodless cliffs showed the highest number of exclusive species. A loss of species was determined in the gradient from sandy to shingle beaches. Few species preferred shingle beaches; abundance of Cafius xantholoma increased with the increasing amount of shingle. More species preferred the sandy conditions, for example, Polystomota grisea, P. punctatella, and Phytosus spinifer. Anotylus insecatus and Bledius defensus require distinct mixtures of sand and silt on woodless cliffs. Tourist impact on sandy beaches accounts for approximately 50% loss of species.

Abstract

Two new species of the genus Mimogonus Fauvel, 1903, M. clavicornis sp. nov. and M. curtus sp. nov., are described from the eastern slope of the Andean range in Ecuador. Three species of Mimogonus Fauvel, 1903 are now known from the Neotropics, including M. fumator (Fauvel, 1889) from the West Indies. Similarities between the two new Mimogonus species and the African species, M. curtipennis Fagel, 1959 and M. fumator (Fauvel, 1889), are discussed. Additionally, three new species of the genus Mimogonia Coiffait, 1978, M. longipes sp. nov., M. amazonica sp. nov. and M. paraensis sp. nov., are described from the Brazilian states of Amazonas and Pará. Including these new species, a total of 17 Mimogonia species is now known from South America. A key to the species group of Mimogonia characterised by large prominent eyes is provided.

Abstract

The new species Thoracophorus venezuelanus and T. silvaticus are described. The ecological information from labels and that produced by more detailed studies in Central Amazonia indicate that tree canopies and tree trunks are main habitats of Thoracophorus species, and that many species might be associated with ants or termites.
