  • A New Cetoniinae for the French Polynesia Fauna (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae)
    Bulletin de la Société entomologique de France, 120 (3), 2015 : 379-381. A new Cetoniinae for the French Polynesia fauna (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae) by Thibault RAMAGE 9 quartier de la Glacière, F – 29900 Concarneau <[email protected]> Abstract. – The Cetoniinae fauna of French Polynesia was restricted until now to a single introduced species, Protaetia fusca (Herbst, 1790). A second species is here reported from Tahiti, Glycyphana stolata (Fabricius, 1781). P. fusca is also reported from the Marquesas Islands for the first time. Résumé. – Une nouvelle Cétoine pour la faune de Polynésie française (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae). La faune des Cetoniinae de Polynésie française, qui ne comprenait jusqu’à présent qu’une espèce introduite, Protaetia fusca (Herbst, 1790), compte désormais une seconde espèce, connue en Polynésie pour l’instant de Tahiti seulement, Glycyphana stolata (Fabricius, 1781). P. fusca est également citée pour la première fois des Marquises. Keywords. – Glycyphana stolata, Protaetia fusca, Cetoniini, French Polynesia. _________________ Until now only one species of Cetoniinae was known in French Polynesia, Protaetia fusca (Herbst, 1790) (PAULIAN, 1998). This species was reported only from the Society Islands, and it appears that it is also present in the Marquesas Islands. A second Cetoniinae, Glycyphana stolata (Fabricius, 1781), has been collected recently on Tahiti. It seems that G. stolata is now settled in French Polynesia and will probably spread in the different archipelagoes.

Research was conducted at six selected localities: Orlovac, Nahorevo, Čavljak, Skakvac, Bukovik and Crepoljsko. After 41 field investigations, 594 individuals were collected and determined as representatives of seven species. Collected data were processed with statistical software Biodiversity Pro and with options Diversity/Compare diversities: Alpha index; Berger-Parker index; Simpsons index; Margaleff index; Mackintosh index; Bray-Curtis Cluster Analysis: Single Link. By comparison of data it was concluded that Skakavac represents the typical locality for southern slopes of Mount Ozren. The species Oxythyrea funesta (Poda, 1761) is the most numerous faunistic element that was found. KEY WORDS: Cetoniidae, fauna, biodiversity, Ozren, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina Introduction After World War II the most important data on flower chafer Cetoniidae Leach, 1815 of Bosnia and Herzegovina were given by Rene MIKŠIĆ who investigated the area of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the entire Balkan Peninsula and most of the Palaearctic (MIKŠIĆ, 1950, 1953, 1956, 1958, 1962, 1965, 1970, 1976, 1977, 1980, 1982, 1987, e.g.). What little research done on this group after the war events in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1992-1995 was undertaken mostly by authors of this paper (LELO, 2000, 2003; LELO & KAŠIĆ-LELO, 2006a, 2006b, 2007; LELO & ŠKRIJELJ, 2001; KAŠIĆ-LELO, 2005, 2011; KAŠIĆ-LELO & LELO, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009a, 2009b; KAŠIĆ-LELO et al., 2006), but it has been so little that it can be said that no 56 M.

Introduction and Background on Proposed Action This biological assessment (BA) has been prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to evaluate the potential effects on federally-listed threatened and endangered species and designated critical habitat from the movement of baled garbage and regulated (domestic) garbage (GRG) from the State of Hawaii for disposal at landfills in Oregon, Idaho, and Washington. Specifically, garbage is defined as urban (commercial and residential) solid waste from municipalities in Hawaii, excluding incinerator ash and collections of agricultural waste and yard waste. Regulated (domestic) garbage refers to articles generated in Hawaii that are restricted from movement to the continental United States under various quarantine regulations established to prevent the spread of plant pests (including insects, disease, and weeds) into areas where the pests are not prevalent.

Abstract. The mango-flower beetle, Protaetia fusca (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae) is newly recorded for Wake Island. The distribution and invasive his- tory of this species on tropical oceanic islands are briefly reviewed and the causes for its success as an established alien and sometimes invasive species discussed.

  • NATIVE POLLINATORS Who Are They and Are They Important?
    NATIVE POLLINATORS Who are they and are they important? Compiled by Jim Revell, Bedford Extension Master Gardener Reproduction – the goal One goal of all living organisms, including plants, is to create offspring for the next generation. One method for plants to accomplish this is by producing seed. Pollen – a fine-to-coarse yellow dust or powder – “bears a plant’s male sex cells and is a vital link in the reproductive cycle.” USDA Forest Service • Pollination is usually an unplanned event due to an animal’s activity on a flower Pollination • It is calculated that one out of every three or four mouthfuls of food or drink “The act of transferring consumed is provided by pollinators pollen grains from the • male anther of a flower to More than 150 food crops in the U.S. depend on pollinators; this includes almost all fruit the female stigma.” and grain crops (see Handout, “List of USDA Forest Service Pollinated Foods” by Pollinator Partnership) • 80% or more of all plants worldwide Pollinator Methods: (including food crops) are pollinated by animals (biotic pollination) ABIOTIC: Without • Of the ≤20% abiotic method involvement of • organisms 98% are pollinated by wind • 2% are pollinated by water BIOTIC: Mediated by • ±200,000 species of animals around the animals world act as pollinators • Of the ±200,000 about 1,000 species are vertebrates (birds, bats, small mammals) Abiotic Pollinators: Wind | Water Left: Diagram of how Wind Pollination works; picture of windblown pollen from male cone of a Lodgepole Pine.
