1. Nesting and mating behaviours, and the development time of three solitary digger wasps of the genus Ammophila (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae).

Author: Pham, Phong Huy, Pham, Mai Quynh, and González, Jorge M.
Abstract: Nesting and mating behaviours and the development time of Ammophila clavus (Fabricius), Ammophila globifrontalis Q.Li & Ch.Yang, and Ammophila laevigata F.Smith from Vietnam are presented. All three dig their nests in the ground. The nest entrance is round. The nest burrow is nearly vertical and ends with an elliptical cell. The cell contains 1–2 caterpillars. The egg is usually glued on the third abdominal segment of prey. The three wasps temporarily close their nest burrows just below the entrance when provisioning, but permanently close them above or at the nest cells when full provision is complete. As the last stage of nest construction, the nest entrance is camouflaged with small sticks and several pebbles. Males of both Ammophila clavus and Ammophila laevigata patrol nesting areas, pursue females searching for their nest sites, pounce upon them, and mate with them on the ground. The development time from egg to the emergence of adult wasps is more than one month, males always emerging before females. The nesting behaviour of the three Ammophila species is compared and discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

2. A double-edged sword: parental care increases risk of offspring infection by a maternally vectored parasite

Abstract: Parental care can protect offspring from predators but can also create opportunities for parents to vector parasites to their offspring. We hypothesized that the risk of infection by maternally vectored parasites would increase with the frequency of mother-offspring contact. Ammophila spp. wasps (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae) build nests in which they rear a single offspring. Ammophila species exhibit varied offspring provisioning behaviours: some species enter the nest once to provision a single, large caterpillar, whereas others enter the nest repeatedly to provision with many smaller caterpillars. We hypothesized that each nest visit increases the risk of offspring parasitism by Paraxenos lugubris (Strepsiptera: Xenidae), whose infectious stages ride on the mother wasp (phoresy) to reach the vulnerable Ammophila offspring. We quantified parasitism risk by external examination of museum-curated Ammophila specimens-the anterior portion of P. lugubris protrudes between the adult host's abdominal sclerites and reflects infection during the larval stage. As predicted, Ammophila species that receive larger numbers of provisions incur greater risks of parasitism, with nest provisioning behaviour explaining ca 90% of the interspecific variation in mean parasitism. These findings demonstrate that parental care can augment, rather than reduce, the risk of parasite transmission to offspring.

3. Brood Parasites That Care: Alternative Nesting Tactics in a Subsocial Wasp.

Author: Field, Jeremy, Savill, Charlie, and Foster, William A.
Subjects: *BROOD parasites, *BROOD parasitism, *ANIMAL clutches, *WASPS, *PARASITES, *EGGS
Abstract: Hosts and brood parasites are a classic example of conflict. Parasites typically provide no offspring care after laying eggs, imposing costs on hosts. Female subsocial wasps (Ammophila pubescens) alternate between initiating their own nests and using an "intruder" tactic of replacing eggs in nests of unrelated conspecifics. Hosts can respond by substituting new eggs of their own, with up to eight reciprocal replacements. Remarkably, intruders usually provision offspring in host nests, often alongside hosts. We used field data to investigate why intruders provision and to understand the basis of interactions. We found that intruders could not increase their fitness payoffs by using the typical brood parasite tactic of not provisioning offspring. Intruders using the typical tactic would benefit when hosts provisioned in their stead, but their offspring would starve when hosts failed to provision. Although some hosts obtained positive payoffs when intruders mistakenly provisioned their offspring, on average utilizing a conspecific nest represents parasitism: hosts pay costs while intruders benefit. Hosts and intruders used the same tactic of egg replacement, but intruders more often laid the final egg. Selection should favor better discrimination of offspring, which could lead to repeated cycles of costly egg replacement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

4. Skimming Flow and Sand Transport Within and Above Ammophila (Marram) Grass on a Foredune.

Author: Rotnicka, Joanna, Dłużewski, Maciej, Hesp, Patrick A., and Tomczak, Joanna O.
Subjects: SAND, ELASTIC scattering, PLANT canopies, PLANT spacing, WIND speed, TROPICAL cyclones
Abstract: An investigation of wind flow and sand transport over a low to high density Ammophila dominated foredune on the Łeba barrier, Poland, utilizing multiple anemometers and sand traps is presented. The study provides the first high resolution data on modified saltation and suspended sand transport over a foredune under conditions of both canopy and skimming flow. Topographic acceleration of flow and topographic steering over the foredune were observed during oblique incident above threshold flow conditions. The concentration of sand in aeolian transport decreases with height to a minimum that is reached at different elevations above the ground, depending on Ammophila grass density. Of the three Ammophila (marram) grass densities investigated, nearly half (46%) of the total sand‐transport rate occurred above the lower density Ammophila grass, whereas up to 70% of the total transport occurred above the higher density marram grass. This likely results from both elastic collisions of sand grains with grass leaves over the Ammophila canopy and the different positions of the canopy rebounding surface, which is sensitive to even slight changes in wind speed. In addition, as plant density increases, there is less flow penetration into the canopy, vegetative forcing (similar to topographic forcing) of vertical flow is greater, and sand in both modified saltation and suspension is forced higher above the canopy in skimming flow. The maximum sand transport above the vegetation canopy increased in elevation from 32 to 48 to 53 cm as the vegetation density increased from low to moderate to high, respectively. The study also demonstrates that in skimming flow, relatively more sand is transported at higher elevations above a canopy surface than above a bare sand surface. Plain Language Summary: This study examines wind flow and aeolian sediment transport across a low to moderate to well‐vegetated foredune in Poland during strong oblique onshore wind conditions. The study provides the first high resolution data on modified saltation (sand grains bouncing off plant leaves) and suspended sand transport over a foredune under conditions of both canopy and skimming flow. High resolution sand traps were utilized to trap sand. The concentration of sand in aeolian transport decreases with height to a minimum that is reached at different elevations above the ground, depending on Ammophila grass density. A significantly higher percentage of sand is transported in skimming flow above the higher density plants (70%) compared to the lower density plants (46%). As plant density increases, there is less flow penetration into the plants, flow is increasingly forced above the plant canopy, and sand is therefore transported across the canopy in greater amounts and at higher elevations. The study also demonstrates that in skimming flow, relatively more sand is transported at higher elevations above a canopy surface than above a bare sand surface. Key Points: Oblique onshore gale wind may induce both canopy and skimming flow within Ammophila grass covering a foredune crest preventing sand depositionSand transported in both modified saltation and suspension is forced higher above the canopy in skimming flowBetween 46% and 70% of the total sand transport occurred above the lower and higher density Ammophila grass, respectively [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

5. Nitrogen addition and fungal symbiosis alter early dune plant succession.

Subjects: *PLANT succession, *SAND dunes, *SYMBIOSIS, *PLANT diversity, *PLANT communities, *NITROGEN fixation, *SPECIES diversity, *CHEMICAL composition of plants
Abstract: Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) enrichment can have complex effects on plant communities. In low-nutrient, primary successional systems such as sand dunes, N enrichment may alter the trajectory of plant community assembly or the dominance of foundational, ecosystem-engineering plants. Predicting the consequences of N enrichment may be complicated by plant interactions with microbial symbionts because increases in a limiting resource, such as N, could alter the costs and benefits of symbiosis. To evaluate the direct and interactive effects of microbial symbiosis and N addition on plant succession, we established a long-term field experiment in Michigan, USA, manipulating the presence of the symbiotic fungal endophyte Epichloë amarillans in Ammophila breviligulata, a dominant ecosystem-engineering dune grass species. From 2016 to 2020, we implemented N fertilization treatments (control, low, high) in a subset of the long-term experiment. N addition suppressed the accumulation of plant diversity over time mainly by reducing species richness of colonizing plants. However, this suppression occurred only when the endophyte was present in Ammophila. Although Epichloë enhanced Ammophila tiller density over time, N addition did not strongly interact with Epichloë symbiosis to influence vegetative growth of Ammophila. Instead, N addition directly altered plant community composition by increasing the abundance of efficient colonizers, especially C4 grasses. In conclusion, hidden microbial symbionts can alter the consequences of N enrichment on plant primary succession. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

6. Epichloë Increases Root Fungal Endophyte Richness and Alters Root Fungal Endophyte Composition in a Changing World.

Subjects: *VESICULAR-arbuscular mycorrhizas, *ENDOPHYTIC fungi, *ENDOPHYTES, *COMMUNITIES, *SAND dunes, *CULTIVARS, *SPECIES diversity, *ROOT-knot nematodes
Abstract: Plants harbor a variety of fungal symbionts both above- and belowground, yet little is known about how these fungi interact within hosts, especially in a world where resource availability is changing due to human activities. Systemic vertically transmitted endophytes such as Epichloë spp. may have particularly strong effects on the diversity and composition of later-colonizing symbionts such as root fungal endophytes, especially in primary successional systems. We made use of a long-term field experiment in Great Lakes sand dunes to test whether Epichloë colonization of the dune-building grass, Ammophila breviligulata, could alter fungal root endophyte species richness or community composition in host plants. We also tested whether nitrogen addition intensified the effects of Epichlöe on the root endophyte community. We found that Epichloë increased richness of root endophytes in Ammophila by 17% overall, but only shifted community composition of root endophytes under nitrogen-enriched conditions. These results indicate that Epichlöe acts as a key species within Ammophila, changing richness and composition of the root mycobiome and integrating above- and belowground mycobiome interactions. Further, effects of Epichloë on root endophyte communities were enhanced by N addition, indicating that this fungal species may become even more important in future environments.

8. Discovery of a dune‐building hybrid beachgrass (Ammophila arenaria × A. breviligulata) in the U.S. Pacific Northwest

Author: Rebecca S. Mostow, Felipe Barreto, Reuben Biel, Eli Meyer, and Sally D. Hacker
Subjects: Ammophila, beachgrass, ecosystem engineer, hybrid zone, hybridization, invasive grass, Ecology, QH540-549.5
Abstract: Abstract The production of novel hybrid zones is an ecologically important consequence of globally increasing rates of species introductions and invasions. Interspecific hybridization can facilitate gene flow between parent species or produce novel taxa that may alter invasion dynamics or ecosystem services. The coastal sand dunes of the U.S. Pacific Northwest coast are densely populated by two non‐native, congeneric, dune‐building beachgrasses (Ammophila arenaria and A. breviligulata). Here, we present morphological, cytological, and genetic evidence that the two beachgrass species have hybridized in this globally unique range overlap. The A. arenaria × A. breviligulata hybrid has been found at 12 coastal sites in Washington and Oregon. It is a first‐generation hybrid between the beachgrass species as evidenced by genome size comparisons and single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping. It is intermediate between the parent grasses in many morphological characters but exceeds both parents in shoot height, a trait associated with dune‐building potential. Understanding the ecological and population genetic consequences of this novel hybridization event is of the utmost importance in a system where any change in dominant beachgrass species can have large effects on both biodiversity management and coastal protection.

13. Elucidating Coastal Foredune Ecomorphodynamics in the U.S. Pacific Northwest via Bayesian Networks.

Author: Biel, R. G., Hacker, S. D., and Ruggiero, P.
Subjects: SEA level, AMMOPHILA (Plants), PLANT species, PLANT morphology, SAND dunes
Abstract: As sea level rise and possible changes in storminess threaten coastal communities and infrastructure, the capacity for foredunes to provide protection depends on their geomorphology, which is determined by interactions between physical beach processes and vegetation. Here we use descriptive Bayesian network analyses to examine how sediment supply, beach characteristics, and two species of beachgrass (Ammophila arenaria and Ammophila breviligulata) alter foredune morphology and patterns of sand accretion on U.S. Pacific Northwest foredunes. We show that sediment supply and beach type primarily determine foredune morphology. Beachgrass density also influences foredune shape, but its effects differ among species: increasing density of A. arenaria was associated with steeper sloping dunes, whereas increasing density of A. breviligulata was associated with wider, more shallow sloping dunes. An examination of the change in foredune morphology over a 2‐year period found sand accretion was most strongly influenced by species‐specific patterns of vegetation growth and beach type. Specifically, A. breviligulata exhibited more lateral growth, resulting in greater sand accretion at the seaward margin of the foredune. In contrast, A. arenaria exhibited little lateral growth, resulting in comparatively more sand accretion near the foredune crest. Consequently, growth form‐generated sand accretion patterns resulted in steep, narrow A. arenaria‐dominated foredunes and shallow‐sloping, wider A. breviligulata‐dominated foredunes. These results illustrate that vegetation density and patterns of growth influence foredune morphology and its changes over time. Key Points: Sediment supply and beach type influence both foredune morphology and rates of foredune changeForedune morphology and rates of foredune change are influenced by species‐specific beachgrass density and growth form patternsForedune ecomorphodynamics differ among the beachgrass congeners, Ammophila arenaria and Ammophila breviligulata [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Subjects: Epichloë, Ammophila, Phylogeny, Medicine, Biology (General), QH301-705.5
Abstract: The grass Ammophila breviligulata (American beachgrass) is known to host an endophyte of the genus Epichloë. Based on morphological characteristics it was originally identified as Acremonium typhinum var. ammophilae and is currently designated as Epichloë typhina var. ammophilae. However, the Epichloë species has not previously been identified based on DNA sequence data. Based on phylogenetic placement of beta-tubulin and translation elongation factor 1-alpha DNA sequences the endophyte is identified as a member of E. amarillans rather than E. typhina.

Subjects: *AMMOPHILA (Plants), *PLANT conservation, *EXTINCTION of plants, *ENDANGERED plants, *PLANT species
Abstract: A regionally extinct taxon, Ammophila arenaria (L.) Link subsp. arundinacea H. Lindb., has been rediscovered in the Croatian flora after 78 years. Previously it was known only from two coastal sand dune sites in Northern Dalmatia. The habitat at the locality of Crnika near Lopar on the northern Adriatic island of Rab is destroyed and A. arenaria subsp. arundinacea does not grow there anymore. At the second locality, on the sand dunes of Kraljičina plaa in the vicinity of the town of Nin, A. arenaria subsp. arundinacea was rediscovered and confirmed after 174 years. This is the only population of this taxon in Croatia, counting 48 mature individuals where the psammophylous habitat of Kraljičina plaa is under strong anthropogenic influence. This taxon is now classified as critically endangered (CR) and merits adequate active protection and conservation of its psammophylous habitat. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

17. Beachgrass invasion in coastal dunes is mediated by soil microbes and lack of disturbance dependence

Subjects: Ammophila, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, disturbance, endophyte, succession, Ecology, QH540-549.5
Abstract: Abstract Biological invasions are a threat to ecological communities and ecosystems, yet understanding the processes that mediate invasion and the environmental contexts in which these processes are important remains a challenge. In this study, we investigated how disturbance and biotic interactions with pathogens and microbial symbionts mediate invasion of American beachgrass (Ammophila breviligulata) in early‐ and late‐successional coastal dune habitats. First, we tested the effect of disturbance on biomasses of two exotic beachgrass species (the invading A. breviligulata and the established A. arenaria) and a native beachgrass (Elymus mollis) by growing plants with and without a disturbance manipulation in early‐ and late‐successional habitats. We quantified root colonization by fungal symbionts and infection by plant‐parasitic nematodes to determine the effect of potential mutualists and pathogens on plant biomass. Second, we tested whether soil microbes associated with the established A. arenaria mediated A. breviligulata invasion by inoculating potted plants with microbes from early‐ and late‐successional habitat. We found no effect of disturbance on biomass of the invading A. breviligulata or native E. mollis, whereas A. arenaria biomass increased when grown with disturbance. Colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and by fungal endophytes were poor predictors of plant biomass, and plant‐parasitic nematodes were infrequently observed. Microbe addition increased belowground biomass of A. breviligulata, but not A. arenaria, compared to control treatments. Overall, our results suggest that A. breviligulata invasion in both the early‐ and late‐successional habitat is mediated by its lack of disturbance dependence and positive effects of soil microbes. These results have important implications for other primary successional systems and contribute to our understanding of how ecological contexts influence invasion processes.

19. Plant Host Species and Geographic Distance Affect the Structure of Aboveground Fungal Symbiont Communities, and Environmental Filtering Affects Belowground Communities in a Coastal Dune Ecosystem.

Author: David, Aaron, Seabloom, Eric, and May, Georgiana
Subjects: *HOST plants, *GENETIC speciation, *BIOLOGICAL classification, *AGRICULTURAL pests, *ECOSYSTEMS
Abstract: Microbial symbionts inhabit tissues of all plants and animals. Their community composition depends largely on two ecological processes: (1) filtering by abiotic conditions and host species determining the environments that symbionts are able to colonize and (2) dispersal-limitation determining the pool of symbionts available to colonize a given host and community spatial structure. In plants, the above- and belowground tissues represent such distinct habitats for symbionts that we expect different effects of filtering and spatial structuring on their symbiont communities. In this study, we characterized above- and belowground communities of fungal endophytes-fungi living asymptomatically within plants-to understand the contributions of filtering and spatial structure to endophyte community composition. We used a culture-based approach to characterize endophytes growing in leaves and roots of three species of coastal beachgrasses in dunes of the USA Pacific Northwest. For leaves, endophyte isolation frequency and OTU richness depended primarily on plant host species. In comparison, for roots, both isolation frequency and OTU richness increased from the nutrient-poor front of the dune to the higher-nutrient backdune. Endophyte community composition in leaves exhibited a distance-decay relationship across the region. In a laboratory assay, faster growth rates and lower spore production were more often associated with leaf- than root-inhabiting endophytes. Overall, our results reveal a greater importance of biotic filtering by host species and dispersal-limitation over regional geographic distances for aboveground leaf endophyte communities and stronger effects of abiotic environmental filtering and locally patchy distributions for belowground root endophyte communities.

22. Fungal symbiosis and precipitation alter traits and dune building by the ecosystem engineer, Ammophila breviligulata.

Author: EMERY, SARAH M., BELL-DERESKE, LUKAS, and RUDGERS, JENNIFER A.
Abstract: Ecosystem engineer species influence their community and ecosystem by creating or altering the physical structure of habitats. The function of ecosystem engineers is variable and can depend on both abiotic and biotic factors. Here we make use of a primary successional system to evaluate the direct and interactive effects of climate change (precipitation) and fungal endophyte symbiosis on population traits and ecosystem function of the ecosystem engineering grass species, Ammophila breviligulata. We manipulated endophyte presence in A. breviligulata in combination with rain-out shelters and rainfall additions in a factorial field experiment established in 2010 on Lake Michigan sand dunes. We monitored plant traits, survival, growth, and sexual reproduction of A. breviligulata from 2010–2013, and quantified ecosystem engineering as the sand accumulation rate. Presence of the endophyte in A. breviligulata increased vegetative growth by up to 19%, and reduced sexual reproduction by up to 46% across all precipitation treatments. Precipitation was a less significant factor than endophyte colonization for A. breviligulata growth. Reduced precipitation increased average leaf number per tiller but had no other effects on plant traits. Changes in A. breviligulata traits corresponded to increases in sand accumulation in plots with the endophyte as well as in plots with reduced precipitation. Sand accumulation is a key ecosystem function in these primary successional habitats, and so microbial symbiosis in this ecosystem engineer could lead to direct effects on the value of these dune habitats for humans.

23. Fungal symbiont effects on dune plant diversity depend on precipitation.

Author: Rudgers, Jennifer A., Bell‐Dereske, Lukas, Crawford, Kerri M., Emery, Sarah M., and De Deyn, Gerlinde
Subjects: *PLANT communities, *PLANT ecology, *FOREST resilience, *METEOROLOGICAL precipitation, *MUTUALISM (Biology)
Abstract: 1. Historically, mutualisms have been considered to be less important than antagonisms in affecting the composition of ecological communities. In plant communities, beneficial microbes may feature as keystone mutualists in structuring community composition. Understanding the direction and magnitude of mutualist effects at the community scale may be critical for making accurate predictions on plant responses to climate change, particularly for mutualists that ameliorate climate-induced stressors. Such mitigation could shift outcomes between mutualist-enhanced species diversity and mutualist-reduced diversity, depending on whether a mutualist accelerates habitat modification or competitive exclusion by its partner species. 2. Here, we tested the relative importance and interactive effects of altered precipitation and symbiosis between an epichloid fungal endophyte and a dominant grass species for dune plant communities along the Great Lakes, USA. In 2010, we imposed field manipulations of endophyte presence in the foundation dune grass Ammophila breviligulata in combination with rainout shelters and rainfall additions. We monitored natural rates of colonization by new plant individuals over 3 years. 3. Under the current precipitation regime, endophyte symbiosis in A. breviligulata reduced colonizing plant diversity, species richness and evenness. This effect depended on the amount of precipitation, with the symbiosis having weaker effects on plant diversity under both augmented and reduced rainfall treatments. 4. Despite the overall negative effect of endophyte symbiosis on plant diversity, plant responses to the endophyte were species specific. A federally threatened forb, Cirsium pitcheri, increased in abundance when the symbiosis was present, regardless of precipitation regime. Endophyte symbiosis in A. breviligulata caused minor reductions in the abundance of other grass species; however, augmented precipitation benefited other grasses. 5. Synthesis. We show that microbial mutualisms can have strong effects on community structure in a native ecosystem and that the amount of precipitation has the potential to alter how these keystone species interactions affect community composition. Predictions on future plant community structure, for both restored and native dunes, can be improved by accounting for the presence of fungal symbionts in the foundation plant species.

In Ammophila kowalczyki, the metasomal apex is black with a metallic lustre, and the propodeal enclosure is wholly glabrous and transversely striated (Fig. 1I). The pronotal collar and scutum are distinctly ridged transversely (Fig. 1G, H). The male shares a blunt tooth on the hypostomal carina with A. abnormis Dollfuss, 2013, A. horni von Schulthess, 1927 and A. punctata F. Smith, 1856; of these species, only A. abnormis has a wholly glabrous propodeal enclosure, and it shares a similarly shaped clypeus with the new species. The male of A. kowalczyki differs by the gonostyle with distinct, long preapical spines, the shape of the cuspis (wide and not visibly tapering) and the shape of the penis valve (Fig. 1E). In A. abnormis, the gonostyle has at most a few short preapical spines and a slender, characteristically tapering cuspis. The penis valve has no preapical spines. Both sexes of A. kowalczyki resemble A. gussakovskii Dollfuss, 2013 in having a distinct patch of appressed silvery setae on the mesopleuron and a glabrous propodeal enclosure. Also, the pronotal collar and scutum are transversely striate and the gastral apex has a metallic lustre. The male of A. kowalczyki differs in having the hypostomal carina with a tooth near the mandibular socket. The female of A. kowalczyki differs by the appressed silvery setae over the whole mesopleuron except for its upper part. Description. Female. Body length 16 mm. Head (Fig. 1C). Clypeal disk sparsely punctured medially. Clypeus weakly elongate ventrally, with appressed silvery setae in basal part. Median lobe of clypeus emarginate (Fig 1C). Subantennal sclerite with appressed silvery setae. Gena, vertex and frons with long separate white setae and mandible with long separate dark setae. Supra-antennal lamellate projection absent. Frons and vertex dull. F1: F2 = 6.2: 3.2. Mesosoma. Pronotum not elongate. Propodeal enclosure glabrous, obliquely striated. Mesopleuron with appressed silvery setae concealing sculpture (except for its upper part), metapleuron irregularly rugose, striated. Scutellum and metanotum longitudinally striated. Propleuron with dense appressed silvery setae and long separate white setae. Legs. Coxae with dense appressed silvery setae dorsally. Claws without basal tooth. Fore wing with three submarginal cells. Submarginal cell III not petiolate. Marginal cell with rounded apex. Colouration. Head, mesosoma, legs entirely black. Wings hyaline; venation dark brown. T4 and 2/5 of T5 laterally, tegula, petiole, T1–T3, and S1–S5 red. Other parts of metasoma black with metallic lustre. Male. Head, mesosoma, and metasoma as in female except for the following: Body length 16 mm. Head (Fig. 1D). Clypeus elongate, medially with one prominent teeth (Fig. 1D), elevated in lateral view, with dense appressed silvery setae concealing sculpture except for apical margin. Hypostomal carina with tooth near mandibular socket (Fig. 1J). Mandible with sparse long white and dark setae. F1: F2 = 5.5: 3.2. Scutum finely transversely striated anteriorly, distinctly obliquely striated posteriorly (in male more so than in female). Male genitalia (as illustrated (Fig. 1 E–F).
