Here, we examine the contribution of studies on remote oceanic islands to our understanding of insect-plant interactions. For ecological and evolutionary studies, island systems offer a number of advantages that stem from their isolation, small size, well-defined boundaries, and that they can be used as replicate systems. Unlike recent introductions to islands where many of the insect herbivores show generalist associations, among indigenous species the majority are endemic and show varying levels of host specialization. We examine patterns of of host specialization, plant-associated diversification, cospeciation, symbiosis, and plant hybridization across a range of island systems, though most work to date has focused on the Macaronesian Islands and the Hawaiian archipelago. Advances in molecular and analytical approaches have opened new avenues for research, such as the ability to calibrate the ages of both insect and plant lineages and to examine the demographic history of individuals within populations. Island insect-plant systems illustrate that allopatric isolation in particular, but also host switching to related hosts, are important correlates of insect diversification. Observations of cospeciation are rare, but this may be a consequence of studying periods of rapid host adaptation and diversification in which patterns of cospeciation, if they exist, may be obscured. Island systems offer many opportunities to expand our understanding of factors that promote host-associated diversification, including the roles of internal and external symbionts and plant hybrids.}, keywords = {allopatric, Aphanarthrum, Arecaceae, Asteraceae, canary-islands, coevolution, Coleoptera, Crambidae, CURCULIONIDAE, Delphacidae, Dubautia, Epicephala, Euphorbia, Euphorbiaceae, gene flow, Glochidion, Gracillariidae, HAWAII, Hemiptera, host shift, LEPIDOPTERA, Liparthrum, Miridae, Myocalles, Nesosydne, Omiodes, Pacific Insects, Pacific Islands, Phyllanthaceae, PLANTS, Pritchardia, Psyllidae, Scolytidae, SPECIATION, Wolbachia}, author = {Roderick, G.

The last published compilation (Suehiro, 1960) listed 221 species, and the first complete listing from the 1923 Tanager Expedition published 38 species (Bryan er al., 1926). The increasing number of arthropod species reflected in these surveys is likely related to the increase in plant species present, increased contact between Midway and the outside world by means of surface and air vessels, and increased effort on the part of the U. S. Fish \& Wildlife Service to inventory the arthropad fauna. The percentage of the fauna composed Of native species (1 7\%) is small and some of these species were not recollected during the present survey. Also, a large number (33\%) of historically recorded alien species were not recollected. More recently introduced immigrants may have displaced some of them. The present list includes 205 new island records from Midway including 29 new records for the Hawaiian archipelago. Continued introductions resulting from frequent visits to Midway by uninspected air and surface vessels will result in serious pest problems there. Some observations are included on insects now present on Midway that may become serious pests if introduced to the main Hawaiian islands.

The analysis of the concatenated dataset partitions with Bayesian inference yielded a hypothetical tree with 26 well supported (posterior probability >= 0.95) monophyla. A clade including the genera Deana, Mnesictena and Udeoides from the southern continents of the Old World is found as sister group to Udea. European Udea species do not form a monophyletic group in itself. There are four monophyla found within European Udea, the ferrugalis, itysalis, alpinalis, and numeralis species groups. These are well supported by molecular and morphological data. According to morphology, all four species groups have representatives also in other parts of the Holarctic region. Our data support the hypothesis that all Udea species endemic to oceanic islands in the Atlantic and Pacific belong to the ferrugalis group and all those endemic to the European Alps to the alpinalis group.

This information is required by federal regulations to properly determine the potential impacts that will occur due to the shifting of significant military resources from Okinawa to the Territory of Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. As part of this military build-up, Pagan is under consideration as a live fire training area. This report gives the results of a terrestrial arthropod survey conducted by USFWS and NAVPAC personnel on Pagan in the month of July 2010 and gives details on significant findings resulting from material collected on that survey. In addition, a full checklist of terrestrial arthropods known from Pagan Island is given based on the current survey material as well as previous published records. An appendix gives a full bibliography of articles dealing with Pagan arthropods. Staff from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Pacific Islands Office, and the U.S. Navy conducted collections of terrestrial arthropods from 9-21 July 2010 using a variety of collecting methods including Malaise flight intercept traps, yellow water pan traps, pitfall traps, peanut butter traps for ants, aerial sweep netting, aquatic dip netting, aspirating, and hand collections. Thousands of terrestrial arthropod specimens resulted from these collections, which were sorted by the collectors to order (to class for non-insects) and delivered to the Bishop Museum for identification. A team of entomologists at the Bishop Museum identified a total of 288 different taxa of terrestrial arthropods based on the survey, which included 228 new island records for Pagan (doubling the number of arthropods previously recorded from Pagan) bringing the total number of terrestrial arthropod species known from Pagan to 416. The full list of identified arthropods is given in Appendix II and includes all previously published terrestrial arthropod records for Pagan as well as the new records identified during this study. To put the arthropod fauna into a proper historical context in order to better understand their possible biological status on the island (e.g., endemic, native, nonindigenous), a history of human habitation as well as previous collecting expeditions is given. The vast majority of identified terrestrial arthropods are most likely nonindigenous, having arrived on Pagan via a variety of mechanisms including transport by humans, supply shipments, and commerce. Verification of true status requires study of the known distributions and potential vagility of each species, which was outside the scope of this report. Although the island has undergone numerous geophysical and human land use changes resulting in what we are calling a synanthropic arthropod fauna, there are still pockets of native arthropods that survive. Eight endemic species are recorded, three of them are new to science. In addition, one new genus was found. The littoral zone has been a neglected area for previous collectors, and a number of new marine and littoral faunal records have resulted from collecting during this survey. None of the arthropods identified are any threat to the megapode or fruit bat populations on the island. The crazy ant, Anoplolepis gracilipes, may pose a potential threat to food resources of the bat and megapodes if the populations on the island ever form what are called supercolonies. Their population levels now are large but not dangerous.}, keywords = {Acari, Araneae, Blattodea, Chilopoda, Coleoptera, Collembola, Cosmopterigidae, Crambidae, Dermaptera, Diplopoda, DIPTERA, distribution, Embioptera, Geometridae, Guam, Hemiptera, Hesperiidae, HYMENOPTERA, Isopoda, Isoptera, LEPIDOPTERA, Lycaenidae, Mantodea, Micronesia, NEUROPTERA, Noctuidae, Northern Marianas Islands, Nymphalidae, ODONATA, ORTHOPTERA, Pacific Insects, Papilionidae, Phasmatodea, Pseudoscorpion, Psocoptera, Pterophoridae, Pyralidae, Scorpionida, Siphonaptera, Thysanoptera, Thysanura, Tineidae}, author = {Evenhuis, N.
