In fact, the control of insect pests is an important aspect of industrial and home-made food processing and blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae), which are among the most important pests involved in the damage of meat products. Most spices, largely used in food preparations and industry, contain essential oils that are toxic and repellent against insects and exert antimicrobial activity. In this study, we assessed the electro-antennographic responses, the oviposition deterrence, the toxicity, and the repellence of the essential oils (EOs) of Allium sativum L., Salvia officinalis L., and Rosmarinus officinalis L.

  • Comparative Morphology of the Male Genitalia in Lepidoptera
    COMPARATIVE MORPHOLOGY OF THE MALE GENITALIA IN LEPIDOPTERA. By DEV RAJ MEHTA, M. Sc.~ Ph. D. (Canta.b.), 'Univefsity Scholar of the Government of the Punjab, India (Department of Zoology, University of Oambridge). CONTENTS. PAGE. Introduction 197 Historical Review 199 Technique. 201 N ontenclature 201 Function • 205 Comparative Morphology 206 Conclusions in Phylogeny 257 Summary 261 Literature 1 262 INTRODUCTION. In the domains of both Morphology and Taxonomy the study' of Insect genitalia has evoked considerable interest during the past half century. Zander (1900, 1901, 1903) suggested a common structural plan for the genitalia in various orders of insects. This work stimulated further research and his conclusions were amplified by Crampton (1920) who homologized the different parts in the genitalia of Hymenoptera, Mecoptera, Neuroptera, Diptera, Trichoptera Lepidoptera, Hemiptera and Strepsiptera with those of more generalized insects like the Ephe­ meroptera and Thysanura. During this time the use of genitalic charac­ ters for taxonomic purposes was also realized particularly in cases where the other imaginal characters had failed to serve. In this con­ nection may be mentioned the work of Buchanan White (1876), Gosse (1883), Bethune Baker (1914), Pierce (1909, 1914, 1922) and others. Also, a comparative account of the genitalia, as a basis for the phylo­ genetic study of different insect orders, was employed by Walker (1919), Sharp and Muir (1912), Singh-Pruthi (1925) and Cole (1927), in Orthop­ tera, Coleoptera, Hemiptera and the Diptera respectively. It is sur­ prising, work of this nature having been found so useful in these groups, that an important order like the Lepidoptera should have escaped careful analysis at the hands of the morphologists.

  • Sponsorship Prospectus
    Sponsorship Prospectus Ver.1.4 Greetings Neuroscience has evolved by leaps and bounds over the past 20 years, and has rapidly advanced beyond the boundaries of the humanities and sciences to become cross-disciplinary. Advances in brain science and brain medicine are uncovering the mysteries of dementia and neurological and mental disorders. For this reason, a Meeting is becoming even more important, as a place where researchers can exchange the latest research results, disseminate information about new technologies, and pursue the challenge of new discoveries and breakthroughs. The theme of the 44th Annual Meeting is "Towards global neuroscience," and we here aim to create a Platform that will bring together, in Kobe, neuroscientists from around the world, and especially from China, Japan and Korea, and foster a new collaboration in neuroscience. Though all of us may maintain a safe physical distance from each other due to COVID-19, let us create a gathering of enthusiastic researchers in search of new findings and ideas, and let’s communicate with each other. Let's take neuroscience to the next level and create new values through lively discussions among participants! How is neural information transfer determined through synaptic connections between neurons and glia in a neural circuit? How are behaviors generated by an integrated system governed by brain information dynamics? How does bi-directional communication between individuals lead to mental interaction, empathy with others, consciousness and self-realization? We are entering an exciting era in which we can academically challenge and address these multifaceted mysteries of the brain and the mind. We hope that researchers and members from all over the world who are contributing to the frontiers of neuroscience will gather in Kobe, Japan, and will create an opportunity to break barriers and make a better future in neuroscience research.

Although such faunistic studies were conducted extensively in the region during the first decade of the early 20th century, there are a few new taxa, taxonomic revisions, misidentifications, and misspellings, which should be documented. We examined 1,276 species in 652 genera, 59 subfamilies, and 15 families. We propose 4 new combinations, namely Arichanna refracta Inoue, 1978 stat. nov.; Psyra matsumurai Bastelberger, 1909 stat. nov.; Olene baibarana (Matsumura, 1927) comb. nov.; and Cerynia usuguronis (Matsumura, 1927) comb. nov.. The noctuid Blepharita alpestris Chang, 1991 is regarded as a junior synonym of Mamestra brassicae (Linnaeus, 1758) (syn. nov.). The geometrids Palaseomystis falcataria (Moore, 1867 [1868]), Venusia megaspilata (Warren, 1895), and Gandaritis whitelyi (Butler, 1878) and the erebid Ericeia elongata Prout, 1929 are newly recorded in the fauna of Taiwan.

DThese authors contributed equally to this work. ECorresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract. Owing to the high species diversity and the lack of a modern revision, the phylogenetic relationships within the tribe Boarmiini remain largely unexplored. In this study, we reconstruct the first molecular phylogeny of the Palaearctic and Oriental members of Boarmiini, and infer the relationships among tribes within the ‘boarmiine’ lineage. One mitochondrial (COI) and four nuclear (EF-1a, CAD, RpS5, GAPDH) genes for 56 genera and 96 species of Boarmiini mostly from the Palaearctic and Oriental regions were included in the study. Analyses of Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood recovered largely congruent results. The monophyly of Boarmiini is supported by our results. Seven clades and seven subclades within Boarmiini were found. The molecular results coupled with morphological studies suggested the synonymisation of Zanclopera Warren, 1894, syn. nov. with Krananda Moore, 1868. The following new combinations are proposed: Krananda straminearia (Leech, 1897) (comb. nov.), Krananda falcata (Warren, 1894) (comb.

  • Effects of Earthworms on Post-Industrial Polluted Soil Remediation
    ©2017 Nicholas J. Henshue ALL RIGHTS RESERVED EFFECTS OF EARTHWORMS ON POST-INDUSTRIAL POLLUTED SOIL REMEDIATION by NICHOLAS J. HENSHUE A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Ecology and Evolution Written under the direction of Claus Holzapfel And approved by: _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October, 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Effects of Earthworms on Post-Industrial Polluted Soil Remediation by By NICHOLAS J HENSHUE Dissertation Director: Claus Holzapfel This dissertation consists of a literature review and three main chapters, all of which are central to assessing the impacts of earthworms in polluted metalliferous soils. Chapter One gives a background in earthworm ecology, then summarizes the questions asked for this study, and gives a brief literature review of the work that has been done prior to this research. Chapter Two describes a biological survey completed through three sampling seasons, which indicate species prevalence and population density in both non-polluted fields and forests, and metal-contaminated brownfields. This survey used a standardized mustard water extraction protocol over 135 sites in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, USA. Although there was a great deal of variation in numbers across sites, both polluted and non-polluted areas contained primarily 3 species– all of which are non-native. A large community pot experiment is the topic of Chapter Three, where two types of plants and four earthworm species were placed in three different soil controls of low, ii mid, and most metal pollution loading and grown together in five-gallon (19 L) buckets for 10 weeks.
