Biodiversity of syrphid flies (Syrphidae: Diptera) from Poonch district of Azad Kashmir, Pakistan

International Journal of Agricultural Technology (2014)

Shamaila Arif Muhammad Rafique Khan Anjum Shehzad Naila Nazir Junaid Rahim

Syrphid flies (Syrphidae: Diptera) represent a component of insects that contributes to the plant pollination. This work has studied the abundance, diversity and species richness of syrphid flies at Poonch district of Azad Kashmir, Pakistan. A total of 979 specimens of syrphid flies was collected using Entomological sweep nets and Mailase traps from fruit trees (apples, apricots, peaches, pears and plumsand) at ten different localities (Alisojal, Banjosa, Datoot, Hajira, Hussainkot, Khaigala, Paniola, Rawalakot, Singola and Topa) of district Poonch. Six species belonging to three subfamilies and five genera were identified. The maximum abundance of Eristalis tenax was recorded from Hussainkot and minimum abundance recorded from Rawalakot.

Peer Review #2 of "A DNA barcode survey of insect biodiversity in Pakistan (v0.1)"

Muhammad Ashfaq Arif Khan Akhtar Rasool Saleem Akhtar Naila Nazir

Although Pakistan has rich biodiversity, many groups are poorly known, particularly insects.To address this gap, we employed DNA barcoding to survey its insect diversity.Specimens obtained through diverse collecting methods at 1,858 sites across Pakistan from 2010-2019 were examined for sequence variation in the 658 bp barcode region of the cytochrome c oxidase 1 (COI) gene.Sequences from nearly 49,000 specimens were assigned to 6,590 Barcode Index Numbers (BINs), a proxy for species, most (88%) also possessing a representative image on the Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD).By coupling morphological inspections with barcode matches on BOLD, every BIN was

Diversity and distribution pattern of Hymenoptera in District Bagh, Pakistan

Indian Journal of Entomology (2019)

Riaz Hussain Naila Nazir Muhammad Sajid Qureshi Shakeel Ahmed Abdul Manan Hamza

Main aims of current study were to discover the distribution pattern and to assess the diversity of Hymenoptera from District Bagh, Pakistan. Samples were collected from various habitats including forest, farmland and human areas with altitude of 3300–3500 m during July to December 2018. In total of 38 surveys, from 472 specimens, forty one species under 19 genera belonging to eight families were identified. These species were playing various ecological roles from pollinator to decomposers. Distribution pattern among identified species revealed that 19 species were occasional, 13 were abundant while nine were rare in explored site. Vespidae was dominant with twelve species followed by Formicidae, Apidae and Pompilidae.

Pakistan Journal of Zoology (2015)

Ansa Tamkeen Khalid Mahmood Naila Nazir

Oedipodinae is the largest subfamily of Acrididae. Due to their greater economic importance this study was planned to explore the fauna of Oedipodinae from region of Azad Kashmir. In the present study sixteen species of Oedipodinae have been collected and identified from Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan. In addition the keys for local genera and species are also provided.

Population dynamics of wheat aphid on different landraces of wheat under field conditions

Plant Protection (2019)

Muhammad Amin Khalid Mahmood Naila Nazir Ajmal Khan Kassi Sher Ahmed

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the leading food grain and staple diet in Pakistan. Cereal aphids are a severe problem in wheat growing areas. Among environmentally safe and economical methods for the control of aphids, the use of resistant wheat cultivars is one of the promising approach in pest management programs which can overcome the economic damage caused by aphid infestation. In the present study, the population dynamics of wheat aphid was observed on 114 landraces of wheat. The results showed that during March, nine landraces showed the highest population of Rhopalosiphum padi while the lowest R. padi population was recorded on fourteen different landraces with aphid populations ranging from 3.25 to 4.08. In the month of April, the highest population of R. padi was recorded on 81 landraces while the lowest population was recorded on 33 landraces with mean aphid numbers ranging from 2.91 to 6.9. The peak population was recorded during the month of May on 78 landraces of wheat and proved to be the susceptible while the remaining thirty eight landraces of wheat proved to be resistant with low aphid densities. The mean aphid population varied from 4.25 to 6.95. The results obtained from the month of March were non-significant while those obtained during the months of April and May were significant

Morphological and molecular identification of acridid grasshoppers (Acrididae: Orthoptera) from Poonch division, Azad Jammu Kashmir, Pakistan

Journal of Threatened Taxa (2014)

Naila Nazir Khalid Mehmood Muhammad Ashfaq Junaid Rahim

The present study was conducted to resolve conflicts in the identification of grasshopper species of the family Acrididae (Orthoptera) on the basis of morphology and DNA barcoding. Grasshoppers representing 26 species of the family Acrididae were collected from different habitats and host plants from Poonch division of Azad Jammu Kashmir, Pakistan. Specimens were identified taxonomically and DNA sequenced for the cytochrome c oxidase (COI) barcode region. Barcodes of 19 morphological species were successfully obtained and the sequence data was used to separate species by Neighbor-Joining cluster analysis. Barcode data successfully discriminated 18 species, while two: Patanga japonica (Bolivar, 1898) and P. succincta (Johannson, 1763) could not be distinguished since they shared the barcode sequence and clustered together on the Neighbor-Joining (NJ) tree. Morphologically, specimens of Shirakiacris shirakii (Bolívar, 1914) were identified as one species, but barcode data revealed that in addition to Shirakiacris shirakii (Bolívar, 1914) two other species of the genus Shirakiacris are present in the region. Similarly, on the basis of morphological characters two species were indentified in subfamily Catantopinae, Catantops erubescens (Walker, 1870) and Xenocatantops brachycerus (Willemse, 1932), but barcode data suggest the presence of an additional Catantops species in the region. These findings show the usefulness of barcode data in discriminating grasshopper species and indicate that such data can be reliably used for developing reference libraries for species identification via sequence matches.

Preliminary studies on the Syrphidae (Diptera) of Poonch district, Azad Kashmir, Pakistan

Oriental Insects (2017)

Muhammad Asghar Hassan Kumar Ghorpadé Khalid Mahmood Anjum Shehzad Naila Nazir

The present study was conducted to begin exploration of the Syrphid fauna of Poonch District, Azad Kashmir, Pakistan. Surveys of different ecosystems, at elevations of 3000–6000 ft in different localities of Poonch district, Azad Kashmir, resulted in the sampling of some 572 specimens, belonging to 38 species (of 17 genera), in 8 tribes and 2 subfamilies of Syrphidae. The specimens were collected by netting and using yellow pan traps, from March 2015 to August 2016. Of these documented species, 29 are first records for Azad Kashmir. Two genera, Asarkina Macquart, 1834 and Baccha Fabricius,1805, and 7 species, viz., Asarkina incisuralis (Macquart, 1855), Baccha maculata Walker, 1852, Eristalinus obliquus (Wiedemann, 1824), Eristalinus tarsalis (Macquart, 1855) Paragus (Pandasyopthalmus) annandalei Ghorpadé, 1992, Rhingia siwalikensis Nayar, 1968 and Syrphus dalhousiae Ghorpadé, 1994 are new records for Pakistan. Photographs of 38 documented species are also provided.
