The subfamily Rileyinae (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) is redefined to contain 6 genera and 69 species for which keys are provided. Two morphological data sets, analyzed via maximum parsimony with PAUP*, yield hypotheses on the placement of Rileyinae within Eurytomidae and internal relationships of Rileyinae. Tables detailing host utilization for Eurytomidae (genera), Rileyinae (species), and confirmed/suspected plant associations for Rileyinae are included.

The purpose of this volume is to encourage and facilitate focused research and provide a forum for scholarly exchange about the status of Mayfly and Stonefly science. Professor John Brittain, whose research is focused on freshwater entomology, especially egg development and life cycle strategies of Ephemeroptera and Plecoptera, presents a chapter reflecting on the quality of mayflies as good indicators of global warming and the quality of streams and lakes. Professor Emeritus Andrew Sheldon, whose interests have encompassed community and population ecology of aquatic animals over a span of more than 40 years, especially insects and fishes, explores topics of Scale and Hierarchy and the Ecology of Plecoptera, discussing how studies emphasizing scale and perspective reveal importance of stoneflies to ecosystems. Other topics cover a broad base of disciplines including morphology, physiology, phylogeny, taxonomy, ecology and conservation. The chapters have been compiled into three sections for this volume: Ecology, Zoogeography and Systematics.

The ant fauna of the Fijian archipelago is a diverse assemblage of endemic radiations, pan-Pacific species, and exotics introduced from around the world. The Ants of Fiji describes the entire Fijian ant fauna, and includes the results of a recently completed archipelago-wide biodiversity inventory. A total of 187 ant species representing 43 genera are recognized here with an illustrated key to genera, synopses of each species, keys to species of all genera, and a species list. The work is heavily illustrated with specimen images, distribution maps, and habitat elevation charts.

In this study, I investigate the phylogeny, taxonomy, and biogeography of the species-rich, Holarctic ant genus Temnothorax (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Myrmicinae), with a special focus on the species of the salvini clade, which is established in Chapter 1. Furthermore, I analyze the evolution of behavioral traits in the genus overall, and infer species delimitations in the salvini species group, which is established in Chapter 2. Chapter 1 is a global phylogeny of Temnothorax, in which I use a combination of Sanger sequencing data, ultraconserved elements data, and morphological data to establish seven large clades within the genus. I analyze the historical biogeography of Temnothorax and find that the crown group likely arose in the Nearctic region at the Eocene-Oligocene transition, about 35 million years ago, coinciding with ancient global cooling. Moreover, I find that social parasitism arose several times independently within Temnothorax, as did arboreality. In Chapter 2 I re-estimate the phylogeny of Temnothorax using sequences from ultraconserved elements data, expand on the taxon sampling from Chapter 1, and reexamine the phylogeny in light of historical subgeneric classification systems. I find that the historical systems are inadequate and establish a two-tiered classification system based on the informal ranks “major clades” and “species groups”. Additionally, I establish species groups within the newly established salvini clade and infer species delimitations in the newly established salvini species group using a combination of model-based approaches with molecular data and morphometric analysis. Chapter 3 is a species-level taxonomic revision of the salvini clade of Temnothorax. In this part of the study, I review 61 species, 34 of which are described as new. I provide a key to all clades of Temnothorax in the New World, as well as a key to all species, and diagnosis, of the salvini clade. Finally, I redescribe all previously named species of the salvini clade and compile natural history observations of the species.

Across the Afrotropical and Malagasy regions, ants are one of the most conspicuous and ecologically dominant animal groups. From driver ants to weaver ants, there are over 2,000 species in Africa alone and over 600 in Madagascar. Ants of Africa and Madagascar introduces readers to the fascinating and diverse ant fauna of the Afrotropical and Malagasy regions. Featuring illustrated keys to subfamilies, separate keys to Afrotropical and Malagasy ant genera, and distribution maps, it also describes diagnostic characters, explores ant ecology and natural history, and includes a list of all currently recognized ant species in the regions. This detailed guide is an essential tool for entomologists and myrmecologists working with and learning about this diverse population of Formicidae.
