Utah Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters History: Founded 3 April 1908, the Utah Academy of Sciences was organized "to promote investigations and diffuse knowledge in all areas of science." Beginning in 1923, the Academy started publishing the papers presented in its annual meetings in Proceedings. In June 1933 at the annual meeting, the Academy was enlarged to include arts and letters, and the name was changed to the Utah Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters. Articles of incorporation and non-profit organization status were accepted by the Academy membership at the spring meeting in April 1959. In 1977, the name of the journal of the Academy was changed from Proceedings to Encyclia. It became a refereed journal at this time. In the mid 1980s, the scope of the Academy was expanded further to include (1) business, (2) education, (3) engineering, (4) library information and instruction, and (5) health, physical education, and recreation. Beginning with the 1998 issue, the journal became The Journal of the Utah Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters. Annual Meeting: The Academy's annual meetings are normally held in the spring on one of the Utah campuses of higher education. The plenary session is called the Tanner Lecture, endowed by Mr. O.C. Tanner in 1986. Best Paper Awards: The best paper presented in every division is given a cash award, which is presented at the Academy's "Awards Evening" held the following fall. Distinguished Service Awards: The Academy recognizes outstanding contributions to teaching and scholarship by means of annual Distinguished Service Awards, alternating every other year between disciplines. Membership: When the Academy was founded in 1908, membership was by nomination, ratified by the Council, and elected by a "three- fourths votes of members present." Today, the Academy's membership is available by application. Institutional Members: All Utah institutions of higher education are members of the Utah Academy. The Academy appreciates their patronage. Publication Policy The Journal of the Utah Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters publishes works in all of the fields of study encompassed in the Academy’s mission. Papers published in The Journal of the Utah Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters are drawn from papers presented by members in good standing at the annual confer- ence of the Utah Academy. To qualify for publication, the papers must be rec- ommended through a refereeing system. Presenters are encouraged to publish their paper in The Journal of the Utah Academy. The Journal’s criteria are that a submission is (1) fresh, meaningful scholarly insight on its subject; (2) readable and well written; and (3) of general interest for an academic readership beyond the author’s field. If you wish your paper to be considered for publication in The Journal, please submit a Microsoft Word document to the section editor of the appropriate section by the indicated deadline. Contact information for the section editors is available on the Utah Academy’s website (www.utahacademy.org). The Journal of the Utah Academy is a refereed journal. Editorial responses will be forthcoming after the resumption of school the following fall when referees have returned their comments to the division chairs. Papers should be between 10 and 20 double-spaced pages. Detailed instructions to authors are available at http://www.utahacademy.org/ Instructions_for_Authors.pdf.

Temnothorax crassispinus (Karavajev, 1926) has been found new for Sweden on the island “hästnacken” in the Stockholm archipelago. it is morphologically extremely similar to its Swedish sibling T. nylanderi (förster, 1850). Three different exploratory data analysis methods achieved a full species separation with perfectly congruent classifications in a total of 135 nest samples from the entire European range. all Swedish samples of both spe- cies were clearly classified with posterior probabilities of p>0.998 if run as wild-card in a confirmative linear discriminant analysis. The close association of both species to temper- ate Quercus forest allows to reconstruct time and routes of postglacial immigration of both species from an italo-iberian (T. nylanderi) and Balkan (T. crassipinus) refuge. according to this, T. nylanderi entered the Swedish mainland in about 8300 BP (Skåne) and spread north to the Stockholm area until 5000 BP. Simultaneously, the advance of T. crassipinus from SE Europe was stopped by T. nylanderi along a 900-km long front line running from nW Poland through East germany south to Bavaria. Based on arguments from zoogeog- raphy, dispersal behavior, reproduction biology, meteorology and physiology, long-range aerial drift across the Baltic Sea is by far the most probable way for colonizing hästnacken by T.

ABSTRACT Until now almost nothing was known of invertebrates such as wild bees in the Bamenda highland forest region in Cameroon. This study focuses on honey producing bee species which do not possess functional stings. The diversity of the stingless bees in this area as well as their nest biology and behaviour was studied. In all, Six species of stingless bees grouped into four genera exist in the Bamenda afro-montane forests. The four genera are: Meliponula (3 species), Dactylurina (1species), Hypotrigona (1 species) and Liotrigona (1species). The most represented of the species in Bamenda was Liotrigona. Stingless bees were found to have huge variations in habitat preferences and in nest architectures. Nest designs differ with species as well as the habitats. Nest were found in tree trunks, mud walls, traditional hives, in soils or even just attached to tree branches. Brood cells and storage pots differ from species to species.

    International Journal of Environmental & Agriculture Research (IJOEAR) ISSN:[2454-1850] [Vol-5, Issue-6, June- 2019] Management of Noorda blitealis Wlk. on Moringa oleifera Lam. using biorationals in the home gardens of Jaffna district, Sri Lanka K.Sharjana1, G. Mikunthan2 Department of Agricultural Biology, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Jaffna, Sri Lanka Abstract— Moringa oleifera Lam. (Moringaceae) is one of the main crops grown for pods and leaves in Jaffna home gardens in Sri Lanka. After the introduction of Periyakulam 1 (PKM 1) Moringa, a leaf eating caterpillar (Noorda blitealis Wlk.) turned out to be a serious pest causing damage to the leaves. Considering the severity of the damage, this study was carried out to find out the suitable biorationals to manage the pest in an eco-friendly method. Using the leaf disc dipping method biorationals such as 1% neem oil, 3% neem seed kernel extract and 2.5g/L neem leaf extract were used to determine the larval mortality. Consumption of the treated leaf area was measured to determine the larval antifeedant activity for 1% neem oil, 3% neem seed kernel extract, (2.5g/L) neem leaf extract, 15% (g/mL) garlic extract and 75% fermented cow urine and ash solution. Distilled water was used as control in both experiments. The experiments were carried out at a temperature of 28.9 ± 1.13°C and 73% relative humidity in complete randomized design. On the 6th day after treatment larval mortality in 1% neem oil, 3% neem seed kernel extract and 2.5g/L neem leaf extract were 85%, 83.33% and 70% respectively.

The PCC is only known from a small portion of Bay County, Florida, in the vicinity of Panama City (Hobbs 1942, Mansell 1994, Keppner and Keppner 2001) (Figure 1.1). Historically, the PCC inhabited natural and often temporary bodies of shallow fresh water within open pine flatwoods (Hobbs 1942) and wet prairie-marsh communities. However, most of these communities have been cleared for residential or commercial development or replaced with slash pine plantations.
