Seasonal occurrence of black flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) in a desert stream receiving trout farm effluent.
The distribution and abundance of black flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) in a small desert stream were influenced by environmental changes caused by recharge of water supply storage basins and an aquaculture operation. Simulium virgatum was the most abundant benthic insect collected in Whitewater Canyon (Riverside County, CA) after April; however, it was never found in trout farm effluent where the ...
متن کاملThe Black Flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) of Iran.
Although Iran has a large geographic area encompassing 13 ecoregions, its simuliid fauna remains largely unexplored. To begin redressing this faunal gap, we reviewed literature records and coupled morphological and chromosomal identifications of material newly collected from 16 sites in Iran. Twenty-three nominal species are now recognized, including new country records for Simulium crassicaulu...
متن کاملParasites of larval black flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) in Thailand
Parasites of larval black flies are reported for the first time from Thailand, including mermithid nematodes (Mermithidae), microsporidian fungi (Zygomycota), and the fungus Coelomycidium simulii Debaisieux (Blastocladiomycetes). The following nine species of black flies were infected with one or more parasites: Simulium asakoae, S. chamlongi, S. chiangmaiense, S. fenestratum, S. feuerborni, S....
متن کاملGender-specific bacterial composition of black flies (Diptera: Simuliidae).
Although hematophagous black flies are well-known socioeconomic pests and vectors of disease agents, their associated bacteria are poorly known. A systematic analysis of the bacterial community associated with freshly emerged adult black flies of four North American species, using cultivation-independent molecular techniques, revealed 75 nonsingleton bacterial phylotypes. Although 17 cosmopolit...
متن کاملThe roles of abiotic factors, dispersal, and species interactions in structuring stream assemblages of black flies (Diptera: Simuliidae)
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The patterns and drivers of species assemblages represent the core of community ecology. We focus on the assemblages of a single family of ubiquitous lotic insects, the Simuliidae (black flies), of which the larvae play a critical role in resource turnover in steams. We use Mantel tests and null models to tease out the potential influence of abiotic stream conditions, s...
