2015Co-Authors: Guilherme C. Ribeiro, Daubian Santos, Charles M. D. Santos, Luigi T. Olivieri, Juliana M. Berbert, André EterovicAbstract:This paper explores the distributional data of 4,224 Tipulidae (Insecta: Diptera) species to search for endemism patterns in a worldwide scale and to test the extent to which the global patterns of endemism of the group fit into previously pro-posed regionalization schemes, particularly Wallace’s system and recent revisions of it. Large scale areas of endemism are assessed using the grid-based method implemented in VNDM. VNDM depends on the prior definition of the grid size for analysis, but a criterion for choosing beforehand a particular grid size is not clear. The same holds for the choice of the level of similarity in species composition selected for the calculation of consensus areas. In our study, we developed a methodological approach that helped defining objective criteria for choosing suitable values for these critical variables. Large-scale areas of endemism around the globe are identified and ranked according to endemicity levels: 1—West Pa-laearctic, 2—Nearctic, 3—East Palaearctic-Oriental, 4—West North America, 5—Australia, 6—Neotropical, 7—Sub-Sa-haran Africa, 8—Palaearctic, and 9—Middle East. Our main conclusion is that there are still some limitations in applying biogeographical classifications proposed mostly on the basis of vertebrate distribution to other taxonomic groups, such as the Tipulidae. While there is a general congruence of the broad-scale areas of endemism of tipulids with previously pro

New replacement names in craneflies (Diptera: Limoniidae, Tipulidae)
Zoosymposia, 2009Co-Authors: Pjotr OosterbroekAbstract:New replacement names are given for 18 species-group names in Limoniidae and 5 species-group names in Tipulidae. Another replacement name in Limoniidae ( schineriana Alexander) is reinstated. In all cases the replacement names are necessary because the senior and junior homonyms are presently congeneric.

Global diversity of craneflies (Insecta, Diptera: Tipulidea or Tipulidae sensu lato) in freshwater
Hydrobiologia, 2007Co-Authors: Herman De Jong, Pjotr Oosterbroek, Jon K. Gelhaus, Herbert Reusch, Chen YoungAbstract:The Tipulidae s.l.—craneflies—are one of the largest groups of the Diptera containing over 15,270 valid species and subspecies. The immatures of the majority of species live in aquatic or semiaquatic habitats. Some aquatic species live entirely submerged and lack functional spiracles, others come to the surface to take oxygen by using spiracles positioned at the end of the abdomen. Semiaquatic species occur in a wide range of habitats. The semiterrestrial and terrestrial larvae live in environments that are moist or at least humous. All adult craneflies are terrestrial. Conflicting hypotheses on the phylogenetic position of the Tipuloidea within the Diptera continue to exist: some authors consider them to represent one of the oldest lineages of the Diptera, others suppose a close relationship to the Brachycera, the true flies. Current systematic knowledge of the Tipuloidea indicates that the Palaearctic region contains the highest number of genus-group taxa, while the Neotropical region has the highest number of species and subspecies. The Afrotropical and Australasian regions are relatively poor respectively in genera and subgenera and in species and subspecies. The oldest fossils that represent the Tipuloidea date back to the Lower Triassic at about 240 million years. Present-day general distribution patterns of many higher taxa of Tipuloidea probably have a Pangean or Gondwanan origin.

Phylogeny of the nematocerous families of Diptera (Insecta)
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1995Co-Authors: Pjotr Oosterbroek, Greg CourtneyAbstract:The relationships of the nematocerous families of Diptera are cladistically analysed using the parsimony programs PAUP and Hennig86. An extensive review, as well as a data matrix, is presented for 98 almost exclusively morphological characters (larva, 56; pupa, 6; adult, 36). Four infraorders are recognized,viz. Ptychopteromorpha, Culicomorpha, Blephariceromorpha, Bibionomorpha, and a clade containing the `higher Nematocera' and Brachycera. Traditionally the family Nymphomyiidae or the infraorder Tipulomorpha (=Tipulidae, with or without Trichoceridae) are considered the most basal clade of the extant Diptera. On the basis of our cladistic analysis it is suggested that the Ptychopteromorpha–Culicomorpha clade is the sister-group of all other extant Diptera. We provide evidence that the Axymyiidae are part of a monophyletic Bibionomorpha. The latter infraorder is proposed as the sister-group of the higher Nematocera and Brachycera. We transfer the Tipulidae (Tipulomorpha) to the higher Nematocera, at a position next to Trichoceridae and near the Anisopodidae–Brachycera lineage. Previous hypotheses concerning nematocerous relationships are reviewed.

beech forest in relation to the abundance of Vespula wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae)
2015Co-Authors: R. J. Toft, Jacqueline R. BeggsAbstract:Crane flies (Tipulidae) are common in the diet of native insectivores and introduced Vespula wasps. The seasonality of adult crane fly species was determined by Malaise trapping so that species potentially vulnerable to an impact from high wasp numbers could be identified as possible indicator species for analyzing the wider impacts of wasps in beech forest (Nothofagus spp.) ecosystems. Four sites in beech forest at Lake Rotoroa, Nelson Lakes National Park, were sampled over 2.5 years. The seasonality of 20 species of larger Tipulidae were plotted against three broad seasonal levels of wasp abundance identified from Malaise trap catches. Eleven species shared at least 40 % of their flight period with high wasp numbers, with three of these restricted almost entirely to the period of high wasp abundance. These species may be the most vulnerable to an impact from wasp predation
