Gryllus locorojo Weissman & Gray
No full textGryllus locorojo Weissman & Gray Crazy Red Field Cricket Figs 14–16, 54, 62, Table 1 2012 Gryllus locorojo Weissman & Gray. Zootaxa 3504: 67–88. Type locality: USA: California, Los Angeles Co., Compton, Rainbow Mealworms. Type deposited in CAS, Entomology type #18657. Distribution. Known only from pet food stores and commercial cricket farms in North America, Europe, and western Asia. Original locality still unknown, but most likely somewhere in South America, perhaps Ecuador (Weissman et al. 2012). Recognition characters and song. Body size medium-large, long or short hind wings, reddish/brownish colored (Fig. 14), head frequently with three or four longitudinal stripes. Song variable (Figs 15, 16; R 12–3), usually 2 (range 1–3) p/c, less than 1 chirp/second, PR 25–42 at 25°C. Discussion. We repeat here the same concerns as under G. bimaculatus. As discussed in Weissman et al. (2012), this is one of two non-native Gryllus (the other being G. bimaculatus) that was being commercially raised in the US, in 2012, and shipped to US pet food stores for sale to the general public. Such activities will invariably result in the release, either by accident or on purpose, of this species into the environment, similar to what has probably occurred with Acheta domesticus (Weissman et al. 1980). The effect of such releases is unknown, as is whether or not these crickets can survive and multiply outside of commercial farms. We discussed (Weissman et al. 2012) why oversight by federal and state regulatory agencies is inadequate and suspect that such surveillance has only gotten worse, since 2012, given continued tightening US federal budgets and malaise from both state and federal regulators. Additionally, we have no idea what the current commercial status is for these two non-native species because they are more aggressive and cannibalistic than the replaced A. domesticus, and tend to bite the lizard they are being fed to. Thus, the pet-food industry may be voluntarily replacing G. locorojo with the ecologically preferred (Weissman et al. 2012) Gryllodes sigillatus. We present G. locorojo here in case they establish feral populations encountered by inquiring biologist. Similar concerns were presented by Barranco (2012), who discussed the possible invasive situation of “ G. assimilis ”, which was being sold for pet food in Spain. As discussed in Weissman et al. (2012), this is probably G. locorojo, although inquiries to P. Barranco, in 2013 and 2014, as to the number of p/c in the calling song of their cricket, which would easily distinguish true G. assimilis from G. locorojo, went unanswered. G. locorojo has been used for studies on calling song and phonotactic selectivity (Rothbart & Hennig 2012) as well as courtship song (Vedenina & Pollack 2012). DNA. Multilocus G2159, from a commercial pet food store, maps (Fig. 6, p. 28) this species closest to G. assimilis and G. multipulsator, despite very different calling songs between G. locorojo and the other two species. However, as noted in Weissman et al. (2019), courtship songs of these three species are similar in having a doubletick structure unlike any other US Gryllus for which courtship song is known to us.Published as part of Weissman, David B. & Gray, David A., 2019, Crickets of the genus Gryllus in the United States (Orthoptera: Gryllidae: Gryllinae), pp. 1-277 in Zootaxa 4705 (1) on page 34, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4705.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/356367
Saltwater Intrusion Releases Iron and Phosphorus from Agricultural Soils
No full textSaltwater intrusion (SWI) associated with global sea-level rise pervasively occur in agricultural lands, with potential to alter biogeochemical cycles and reduce agricultural yields. As SWI encroaches on coastal areas, agricultural fields can release large quantities of phosphorus (P) into nearby waterways due to interactions between sulfate (SO42-) and iron (Fe), that make Fe less available to sequester P. This study investigates key biogeochemical mechanisms that mediate the interaction between saltwater, Fe and P in coastal agricultural soils. We collected agricultural soil on the Lower Eastern Shore of Maryland and exposed it to eight different salt treatments under aerobic and anaerobic conditions over a period of thirty days. We analyzed the PO43- and Fe concentration in soil-water and total Fe in treated soil at days 0, 15, and 30. The results show that soil-water Fe and PO43- concentrations increase under anaerobic conditions over time in all eight salt treatments, suggesting that SWI can stimulate Fe and PO43- release under anaerobic conditions despite variation in saltwater compositions. The high levels of PO43- in sodium (Na)-containing treatments indicate that increases in sodicity can facilitate P release; the high levels of Fe in treatments consisting CaSO4 show that the presence of Ca potentially prompts the interaction between Fe and SO42-.Danielle S.

Distribution. High elevations in the central and northern Sierra Nevada of California. Habitat. Mixed conifer woodland. Taken from understory tangles and leaf litter in coniferous forest, under logs, in a small shrub in an open field, and from riverbanks. One male paratype sang from 2.4 m above ground in thicket of branches. He dropped to the ground when approached (JAC pers. obs.). Seasonal occurrence. Midsummer through fall, from July (1-VII-1950, HL McKenzie, CSCA) through November (17-XI-1967, HR Ingham, CSCA). Nymphs occur from early June through August, thus overlapping broadly with adult activity. Stridulatory file. (n = 6) length 3.3–3.9 mm, 115–135 teeth, tooth density 35.4 ± 3.4 (30.8–40.9) teeth/mm. Song. (n = 19) PTR is significantly faster than all other Convexa Clade lineages (ANCOVA, P = 1.08×10 -5), owing to significantly shorter MPTL of 202.5 ± 53.6 ms (ANCOVA, P = 4.27×10 -11). MPT often have a characteristic amplitude modulation pattern, with a gradual increase in amplitude followed by an abrupt increase at the middle of the PT (Plate 4F). Males may sing in the late afternoon as well as at night. Karyotype. (n = 7) 2n♁ = 26 (2m + 22t + XtYt), T88-8, S88-60, paratype. Recognition. The male ventral sclerite has straight, thick shaft, the apex rounded with the highest point lateral to the central axis, and the short lateral process directed 45 o anterior to plane of shaft. This genital morphology may only be confused with N. diabolica and some N. carinata, both of which have higher stridulatory file tooth densities and lisping songs and are distributed in the South Coast Ranges. The female subgenital plate is distinct from all other Carinata Group species: wider than long with a strongly bifurcate apex. The song PTR is faster and MPTL shorter than all other Convexa Clade taxa. This species is the only Neduba found in high elevation yellow pine forest in the central and northern Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. Etymology. l. radicata having roots, having found a home. Notes. At China Flat Campground, El Dorado County, California, two males were observed emerging from leaf litter to sing in understory tangles.Acoustical activity commenced before dusk at this locality during overcast conditions after a rainstorm. At the southern extent of the range along Finning Mill Road, males were singing before sunset at 2019 h. This species is sympatric with N. radocantans (Sierranus Group) in El Dorado County, California. Specimens examined.

Equivariant perverse sheaves on Coxeter arrangements and buildings
No full textWhen is a finite Coxeter group acting by its reflection representation on, we describe the category of -equivariant perverse sheaves on E_{\mathbbC}, smooth with respect to the stratification by reflection hyperplanes. Byusing Kapranov and Schechtman's recent analysis of perverse sheaves onhyperplane arrangements, we find an equivalence of categories from to a category offinite-dimensional modules over an algebra given by explicit generators andrelations. We also define categories of equivariant perverse sheaves on affinebuildings, e.g., -equivariant perverse sheaves on the Bruhat--Tits buildingof a -adic group . In this setting, we find that a construction ofSchneider and Stuhler gives equivariant perverse sheaves associated to depthzero representations.Comment: 28 pages, 6 figures. v5 processed for publication in Epig

Distribution. Western slope of the southern Sierra Nevada Mountains between the Kaweah River and Tule River watersheds, in the vicinity of Sequoia National Park. Habitat. Understory of mixed conifer forests, especially in riparian habitats and mesic areas. At the South Fork localities, many adults were feeding on green leaves of mountain mahogany (Cercocarpus). Singing males at this locality were observed and recorded in young dead cedars at the forest edge. Seasonal occurrence. Adults from late July (27-VII-1986, DJ Burdick, CAS) through August (20-VIII-2006, DB Weissman, CAS). Nymphs from May through mid-June. Stridulatory file. (n = 18) length 2.7–3.7 mm, 152–203 teeth, tooth density 57.5 ± 3.4 (47.5–61.6) teeth/mm. Song. (n = 19) A continuous series of alternating MPT and OPT as in other Sequoia Group species (except N. inversa). The PTR of 3.0 ± 0.5 s- 1 is significantly faster than N. prorocantans, which is distributed to the south, and is half the rate of syntopic N. duplocantans. PTdc of 75.1 ± 8.7% is significantly higher than all other Sequoia Group species (ANCOVA, P = 3.75×10 -4). PTF is 14.3 ± 1.0 kHz. Karyotype. (n = 4) Unique. 2n♁ = 22 (2m + 18t + XtYt). T06-12, S06-80, paratopotype. Recognition. This is a plastic species that is difficult to recognize. A higher stridulatory file tooth density (55– 59 teeth/mm) as well as larger body size will separate this species from the lower density (47–52 teeth/mm) of both N. prorocantans distributed to the south and N. duplocantans, with which it is sympatric. To the north, N. inversa has a greater stridulatory file tooth density (64–68 teeth/mm). The song PTR is faster than that of N. prorocantans but half that of N. duplocantans, whereas N. inversa sings with numerous OPT between MPT as in Sierranus Group taxa. The karyotype is unique. N. sequoia inhabits an area between the Kaweah River and Tule River watersheds, a range that it shares only with N. duplocantans. Etymology.
