“…Of the few biodiversity and ecological studies, the majority have focused on charismatic vertebrates such as caribou, moose, and wolves (Poley et al 2013), bats (Layng et al 2019), and birds (Abraham 2014). The arthropod studies that have been conducted in the Far North have focused on collembolans, odonates, dipterans, lepidopterans, hymenopterans, and some beetles (Fjellberg 1985;Danks and Foottit 1989;Sutherland et al 2005;Beresford 2011;Ringrose et al 2013Ringrose et al , 2014Ringrose et al , 2019Fleming andBeresford 2016, 2019;Jumean et al 2017;Gibson et al 2018;Langer et al 2018;Vezsenyi et al 2021). Large gaps remain in our knowledge of the diversity and distribution of insects, even though the species' ranges represent the fundamental unit of biogeography (Lomolino et al 2017).…”

New records and range extensions of Carabidae of Ontario’s boreal forest

2022

The distribution and diversity of fauna of remote regions, including much of the boreal forest, are incompletely known. We took part in extensive biodiversity surveys in the Far North of Ontario (north of 51° N), Canada from 2009 to 2015. In the family Carabidae Latreille (Coleoptera), we report new records and range extensions for 600 specimens representing 99 species. We documented the first record for Canada of one species, the first records for Ontario of 11 species, and range extensions (> 100 km from the known range) for 70 species. The range extensions were largely in a northwards direction, with a median distance of 650 km and a positive skew in the distribution of these distances. These new records fill an important gap in knowledge of the distribution of this family.

“…Until recently, few invertebrate surveys have been conducted in the remote interior of northern Ontario, and none have included Syrphidae. Those surveys that did occur in the region include collections of, for example, Tabanidae (Ringrose et al 2013), Culicidae (Ringrose et al 2014), molluscs (Forsyth and Oldham 2016), Carabidae: Cicindelinae (Jumean et al 2017), Dytiscidae (Degasparro et al 2018), Bombus Latreille (Hymenoptera: Apidae) (Gibson et al 2018), leeches (Langer et al 2018), Carabidae: Elaphrinae (Fleming and Beresford 2019), and Nicrophorus Fabricius (Coleoptera: Silphidae) (Ringrose et al 2019).…”

Distribution of Syrphidae (Diptera) across northern Ontario

et al. 2020

Syrphids (Diptera: Syrphidae) are a diverse and widespread family of pollinating flies. Their diverse life history traits not only allow them to thrive in a wide range of habitats but also make them potential bioindicators of environmental change. Here, we report on their distributions from a previously understudied and undeveloped part of northern Ontario that is a large part of the third-largest wetland in the world. Samples were collected from across the region between 2009 and 2016, using numerous sampling methods. Of the 122 species identified from 1514 specimens, six are new provincial records to Ontario. Five species were collected over 800 km from their previously known ranges, some of which were west of the Rocky Mountains. Of all the trapping methods employed in the study, Malaise traps were found to be the most effective at catching syrphid species. This work updates known range and provincial records for more than 100 species of syrphids, bringing into clearer focus their distribution throughout this region.
