Newsletter 2009 .Indd " .%&'( CORNELL ! $ X 2009 Newsletter • Geneva & Ithaca Greetings from Cornell! Greetings from Cornell! On behalf of the two Entomology departments at Cornell we are very pleased to bring you our third annual bi- departmental newsletter. Our joint effort on this newsletter is symbolic of our continuing efforts to try and bring the two departments closer together, so as to strengthen the voice of Entomology within the College, University, and to our stakeholders worldwide. With your help and support we continue to do great things, many of which are covered in the pages of this newsletter. In 2008, a new award for Applied Research was established in Honor of the late Emeritus Professor George G. Gyrisco, the fi fth annual open house “Insectapalooza 2008” drew a record number of visitors, and we began renovations of the Eickwort lab. (see page 4) The major issue for us (and probably for most of you) has been the state F of the economy. We continue to deal with large budget cuts and have What’s Inside: had to reduce many of our activities.

Lizot (1977) argues that it has been wrongly supposed, without taking into account regional variations, that game resources and protein supplies are limited in the Amazonian forests. He suggests from a study of two local groups of Yanomami, the Karohi and the Kakashiwë, that food requirements are satisfied by a very moderate amount of work and that variations in the level of consumption depend more on attitudes toward work than on the supply of game.

  • Chapter 4. Central America and Caribbean Islands
    Chapter 4 Chapter 4 CENTRAL AMERICA AND CARIBBEAN ISLANDS Overview There are few reports of insect consumption by people in the Central American countries. This is surprising in view of the heavy use of edible insects in Mexico to the north and in Colombia to the south. There has been much research in E1 Salvador in recent years, however, on the use of dipterous larvae for recycling animal and other organic wastes into high-protein feed for animals, particularly poultry. The use of insects as food was apparently widespread in the West Indies prior to the arrival of the Europeans. Martyr (1612: 121 f.) stated (vide Bodenheimer 1951: 25) that "in the houses of the inhabitants they found great chests and baskets made of twigs and leaves, which were full of grasshoppers, crickets, crabs, crayfish and snails, together with locusts which destroy the fields of corn, all dried and salted. The Indians explained that they kept these insects to sell to their inland neighbours." Cowan (1865: 98) provides a more literal translation of the above by Martyr. Martyr (p. 274; vide Bodenheimer, p. 301) mentioned that "young bees" [presumably larvae and/or pupae] are eaten "raw, roasted and sometimes soaked." According to Rouse (1948: 524), the Arawak, who inhabited the West Indies before the European arrival, occasionally ate insects.

    Format h 270 mm x w 180 mm A life-size guide to six hundred species from around the world 1 1 w 7 ⁄8 ins x h 10 ⁄2 ins More than one fifth of all known life forms on this planet are beetles. Extent 656 pages | 140,000 words They are extraordinarily visually diverse: renowned British geneticist hardback JBS Haldane, when asked what could be inferred about God from a Copyright © The Ivy Press 2012 study of His works, replied, “An inordinate fondness for beetles.” The Book of Beetles uncovers 600 significant examples, selected as part of a genome program. They are shown in glorious photographs, life size and in detail, alongside an engraving offering a side or open-winged view. Each profile includes a population distribution map, a table of essential information, and a commentary revealing notable characteristics, related species, and a diagnosis of the specimen’s importance in terms of taxonomy, rarity, behavior, and scientific significance. Arranged taxonomically, this essential reference reveals the variety and importance of beetles for the first time. Patrice Bouchard is research scientist and curator of Coleoptera at the Canadian National Collection of Insects, Arachnids, and Nematodes. Co-author of four books including the 1,000-page Family-group names in Coleoptera and the award-winning Tenebrionid Beetles of Australia, Bouchard is also on the editorial board of The Canadian Entomologist, ZooKeys, and Zoological Bibliography. Arthur V. Evans is an author, lecturer, and broadcaster. He is research associate at the Smithsonian, and adjunct professor at VCU, University of Richmond and Randolph-Macon College.

    1 Checklist of the Cerambycidae and related families (Coleoptera) of the Western Hemisphere 2011 Version (updated through 31 December 2010) Miguel A. Monné, and Larry G. Bezark, Compilers Introduction The Cerambycidae, commonly known as longhorned beetles, longicorns, capricorns, round-headed borers, timber beetles, goat beetles (bock-käfern), or sawyer beetles, comprise one of the largest and most varied families of Coleoptera, with body length alone varying from ± 2.5 mm (Cyrtinus sp.) to slightly over 17 cm (Titanus giganteus). Distributed world- wide from sea level to montane sites as high as 4,200 m elevation wherever their host plants are found, cerambycids have long been a favorite with collectors. Taxonomic interest in the family has been fairly consistent for the past century, but the description of new taxa has accelerated in recent decades thanks to the efforts of Chemsak, Linsley, Giesbert, Martins, Monné, Galileo, Napp, and other workers. This checklist builds upon the efforts of Blackwelder (1946), Chemsak & Linsley (1982), Chemsak, Linsley & Noguera (1992), and Monné & Giesbert (1994), and presently includes nearly 9,000 described species and subspecies, covering the terrestrial hemisphere from Canada and Alaska to Argentina and Chile, and including the Caribbean arc. Adult Cerambycidae, upon which most taxonomic studies in the family have been based, vary widely in their habits. Some species are nocturnal, many are attracted to artificial light, and they also may be found at night on the trunks and branches of their host plants, or on foliage. Diurnal species also may be found on or near their host plants, but many species are attracted to blossoms of shrubs and trees, where they may serve as pollinators.
