....................................................................... 130 AVANT-propoS Si 2006 fut l’année des changements avec une nouvelle directrice, un nouvel administrateur et l’af- filiation du Musée d’histoire des sciences au Muséum, 2007 a été l’année des catastrophes avec le projet Tout peut arriver et la fermeture du Muséum au public pendant environ deux semaines. Le Musée d’histoire des sciences, installé dans une demeure néoclassique du XIXe siècle (Villa Bartho- loni), fut rattaché le 1er janvier 2006 au Muséum, abrité dans un bâtiment moderne des années 1960. Ainsi, l’année 2006 fut employée à établir une synergie entre les acteurs des deux entités. Et tout au long de l’année 2007, ce fut le projet Tout peut arriver du département de la culture qui fut coordonné par le Muséum. Ce projet réunissait, autour d’une thématique actuelle : les catastrophes naturelles, des institutions de ce département, des services d’autres départements municipaux ainsi que de nombreux partenaires extérieurs, publics et privés genevois, vaudois, valaisans et français. Le 13 avril 2007, le Muséum fut fermé au public pour des raisons de sécurité. Grâce au personnel de l’institution avec l’appui de la direction du Département de la culture et la collaboration du service des bâtiments, l’exposition allolaterre.cata et les expositions du Musée d'histoire des sciences furent inaugurées aux dates prévues et toutes les galeries permanentes du Muséum étaient rouvertes au public le 1er mai. J’adresse à tous mes remerciements les plus sincères pour leur efficacité et leur engagement lors de cet événement. Une trentaine d’expositions temporaires, certes d’importance inégale, furent proposées dans les deux musées. Certaines furent réalisées en collaboration avec d’autres partenaires (Université de Genève, Fondation Archives Institut Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Programme des Nations Unies pour l’En- vironnement, Muséum d’histoire naturelle de la Bourgeoisie de Berne, Forum Biodiversité Suisse de l’Académie suisse des sciences naturelles…). Dans les nouveautés, l’installation d’un coin lecture pour les petits au niveau de la cafétéria au Mu- séum en 2006 doit être soulignée. Egalement dans ce lieu, les parcours interactifs pour les enfants de 3 à 6 ans, mis en place en 2005, ont connu un succès grandissant. Parmi les événements importants qui ont marqué ces deux années, il y a lieu de citer, les 8 et 9 juillet 2006, la sixième édition de La Nuit de la science sur le thème Evolution_Révolution dans le parc de la Perle du lac, autour du Musée d’histoire des sciences. A cette occasion, la manifestation reçut le Prix d’excellence de l’Académie suisse des Sciences naturelles. Des réunions scientifiques d’importance nationale ou internationale furent organisées au Muséum. Parmi celles qui réunirent plus de 200 personnes, signalons Biology06, en collaboration avec l’Université de Genève et les Conservatoire et Jardin botaniques et en 2007 le 5th Swiss Geoscience Meeting en collaboration avec l’Université de Genève. Les nombreuses publications et les projets de recherche témoignent d’une bonne productivité scientifique sur le plan national et sur le plan international de la part de nos chercheurs. Les articles sur les collections rédigés par nos scientifiques ou par des spécialistes venant du monde entier confirment leur importance au niveau mondial. Des personnes et des institutions extérieures au Muséum et au Musée d’histoire des sciences ont ap- porté leur aide pour remplir les missions qui nous sont confiées, à savoir la diffusion des connaissances auprès du public, la gestion des collections et la recherche scientifique. Ainsi, j’adresse de chaleureux remerciements aux Amis du Muséum qui ont soutenu différentes prestations, aux donateurs qui ont contribué à l’enrichissement de nos collections et aux chercheurs bénévoles qui les étudient.

Out of 36 states and UT’s in India, the family Sphaeroceridae is so far known only from 15 states and UT’s and maximum number of species reported from the state of West Bengal (26.98%). Among different biogeographic zones in India, the Indo-Gangetic Plains share maximum number of species (49.20%) whereas, Islands biogeographic zone has no record of these flies. The present communication is the first attempt in documenting the diversity, distribution and gaps in research of the family Sphaeroceridae from India.

  • Insects of Ojibway Prairie, a Southern Ontario Tallgras Prairie
    199 Chapter 9 Insects of Ojibway Prairie, a Southern Ontario Tallgrass Prairie Steve M. Paiero and Stephen A. Marshall Department of Environmental Biology, University of Guelph Guelph, Ontario, Canada Paul D. Pratt Windsor Department of Parks Windsor, Ontario, Canada Matthias Buck Department of Environmental Biology, University of Guelph Guelph, Ontario, Canada Abstract. This chapter describes the insect fauna of Ojibway Prairie, a tallgrass prairie complex in southern Ontario, highlighting the tallgrass-dependent and tallgrass-associated species among the over 2,000 insect species found there so far. The presence of tallgrass-dependent and tallgrass-associated species reflects Ojibway Prairie’s status as a fragment of a formerly more continuous grassland and thus supports the prairie peninsula hypothesis. The chapter includes a discussion of insect species associated with other southern Ontario tallgrass prairie sites and compares these species with those found in Ojibway Prairie. Also discussed are rare species found at Ojibway Prairie but not associated specifically with tallgrass habitats. Forty-four insect species new to Canada or new to Ontario (1 Orthoptera, 3 Hemiptera, 10 Coleoptera, 16 Diptera, and 14 Hymenoptera) are recorded from Ojibway Prairie. Résumé. Ce chapitre décrit l’entomofaune de la prairie Ojibway, un complexe de prairies à herbes hautes du sud de l’Ontario, en portant une attention particulière aux espèces dépendantes des herbes hautes ou associées à ces dernières et qui sont au nombre des quelque 2 000 espèces d’insectes recensées jusqu’ici à cet endroit. La présence d’insectes dépendants des herbes hautes ou associés à ces dernières est un reflet de l’état actuel de la prairie Ojibway, qui n’est plus qu’un fragment d’une prairie autrefois plus continue, et vient appuyer l’hypothèse de la « péninsule de prairie ».

  • First Evidence of Specialized Feeding on Ectomycorrhizal
    Bluhm et al. BMC Ecol (2019) 19:10 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12898-019-0227-y BMC Ecology RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Protura are unique: frst evidence of specialized feeding on ectomycorrhizal fungi in soil invertebrates Sarah L. Bluhm1*, Anton M. Potapov1,2, Julia Shrubovych3,4,5, Silke Ammerschubert6, Andrea Polle6 and Stefan Scheu1,7 Abstract Background: Ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECM) play a central role in nutrient cycling in boreal and temperate forests, but their role in the soil food web remains little understood. One of the groups assumed to live as specialised mycorrhizal feeders are Protura, but experimental and feld evidence is lacking. We used a combination of three methods to test if Protura are specialized mycorrhizal feeders and compared their trophic niche with other soil invertebrates. Using pulse labelling of young beech and ash seedlings we analysed the incorporation of 13C and 15N into Acerentomon gallicum. In addition, individuals of Protura from temperate forests were collected for the analysis of neutral lipid fatty acids and natural variations in stable isotope ratios. Results: Pulse labelling showed rapid incorporation of root-derived 13C, but no incorporation of root-derived 15N into A. gallicum. The transfer of 13C from lateral roots to ectomycorrhizal root tips was high, while it was low for 15N. Neutral lipid fatty acid (NLFA) analysis showed high amounts of bacterial marker (16:1ω7) and plant marker (16:0 and 18:1ω9) fatty acids but not of the fungal membrane lipid 18:2ω6,9 in A. gallicum. Natural variations in stable isotope ratios in Protura from a number of temperate forests were distinct from those of the great majority of other soil invertebrates, but remarkably similar to those of sporocarps of ECM fungi.

Retrieved on: 24 October 2016 Species, Phylogeny and Evolution 1, 3 (30.9.2008): 147-170. The genus Metallyticus reviewed (Insecta: Mantodea) Frank Wieland Johann-Friedrich-Blumenbach-Institut für Zoologie & Anthropologie und Zoologisches Museum der Georg-August-Universität, Abteilung für Morphologie, Systematik und Evolutionsbiologie, Berliner Str. 28, 37073 Göttingen, Germany [[email protected]] Abstract Metallyticus Westwood, 1835 (Insecta: Dictyoptera: Mantodea) is one of the most fascinating praying mantids but little is known of its biology. Several morphological traits are plesiomorphic, such as the short prothorax, characters of the wing venation and possibly also the lack of discoidal spines on the fore femora. On the other hand, Metallyticus has autapomor- phies which are unique among extant Mantodea, such as the iridescent bluish-green body coloration and the enlargement of the first posteroventral spine of the fore femora. The present publication reviews our knowledge of Metallyticus thus providing a basis for further research. Data on 115 Metallyticus specimens are gathered and interpreted. The Latin original descriptions of the five Metallyticus species known to date, as well as additional descriptions and a key to species level that were originally published by Giglio-Tos (1927) in French, are translated into English.

Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) Abstract Increasing forest management resulting from bark beetle attack in British Columbia's forests has created a need to assess the impact of single species management on local insect biodiversity. In the Fort St James Forest District, in central British Columbia, Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii Franco) (Fd) grows at the northern limit of its North American range. At the district level the species is rare (representing 1% of timber stands), and in the early 1990's growing populations of the Douglas-fir beetle (Dendroctonus pseudotsuage Hopkins) threatened the loss of all mature Douglas-fir habitat in the district.
