An Illustrated Catalog of the ^f Neotropic Arctiinae ypes in the United States f National Museum (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae) PART II SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY NUMBER 128 SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti- tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com- mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of profes- sional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other in- terested institutions and specialists throughout the world. Individual copies may be obtained from the Smithsonian Institution Press as long as stocks are available. S.

    Ramblings with Rebecca April 30 – May 16, 2005 ANNOUCEMENTS: * I’ll bet you’ve met, or at least seen, the 11 head of cattle Daniel Gluesenkamp has “hired” to help manage invasive grass growth in the lower field! Because we’re sharing space in the lower field with this small number of very well-behaved cattle for the rest of this season (and maybe longer), it’s even more important than ever to be absolutely sure you never leave one of the gates near the highway open unattended! Gate keepers- you should also know that the fencing along the entry is electrified, a not- so-subtle reminder to these animals that fences are intended as impenetrable barriers! So- don’t grab or try to climb this fence… and DO let a member of the staff know as soon as possible if you see a cow or bull behaving in a too athletic, or otherwise inappropriate or un-bovine fashion ! We’ve heard tell of fence jumping once in a blue moon, and think we have that problem licked, but we want to know if you see any such shenanigans. With all that said, let me tell you these 11 are actually pretty docile, and very responsive. And, as odd as it might seem, grazing on a wildlife preserve is a necessary means of counteracting the effects of invasive, introduced non-native grasses. If left alone, the grasslands at Bouverie would be anything but “natural”. Instead, these areas would grow to more closely resemble unkempt pasture land with few if any native species, rather than the kinds of grasslands that evolved in California before European interference.

    Invasive Alien Plants An Ecological Appraisal for the Indian Subcontinent EDITED BY I.R. BHATT, J.S. SINGH, S.P. SINGH, R.S. TRIPATHI AND R.K. KOHL! 019eas Invasive Alien Plants An Ecological Appraisal for the Indian Subcontinent FSC ...wesc.org MIX Paper from responsible sources `FSC C013604 CABI INVASIVE SPECIES SERIES Invasive species are plants, animals or microorganisms not native to an ecosystem, whose introduction has threatened biodiversity, food security, health or economic development. Many ecosystems are affected by invasive species and they pose one of the biggest threats to biodiversity worldwide. Globalization through increased trade, transport, travel and tour- ism will inevitably increase the intentional or accidental introduction of organisms to new environments, and it is widely predicted that climate change will further increase the threat posed by invasive species. To help control and mitigate the effects of invasive species, scien- tists need access to information that not only provides an overview of and background to the field, but also keeps them up to date with the latest research findings. This series addresses all topics relating to invasive species, including biosecurity surveil- lance, mapping and modelling, economics of invasive species and species interactions in plant invasions. Aimed at researchers, upper-level students and policy makers, titles in the series provide international coverage of topics related to invasive species, including both a synthesis of facts and discussions of future research perspectives and possible solutions.

  • 2006 - Biodiversity and Cultural Diversity in the Andes and Amazon 1: Biodiversity
    Lyonia 9(1) 2006 - Biodiversity and Cultural Diversity in the Andes and Amazon 1: Biodiversity Volume 9 (1) February 2006 ISSN: 0888-9619 Introduction In 2001, the 1. Congress of Conservation of Biological and Cultural Diversity in the Andes and the Amazon Basin in Cusco, Peru, attempted to provide a platform to bridge the existing gap between Scientists, Non Governmental Organizations, Indigenous Populations and Governmental Agencies. This was followed by a 2. Congress in 2003, held in Loja, Ecuador together with the IV Ecuadorian Botanical Congress. The most important results of these conferences were published in Lyonia 6 (1/2) and 7 (1/2) 2004. Since then, the "Andes and Amazon" Biodiversity Congress has become a respected institution, and is being held every two years in Loja, Ecuador, where it has found a permanent home at the Universidad Tecnica Particular. In 2005, the 3. Congres on Biological and Cultural Diversity of the Andes and Amazon Basin joined efforts with the 2. Dry Forest Congress and the 5. Ecuadorian Botanical Congress, to provide an even broader venue. The Tropical Dry Forests of Latin America as well as the Andes and the Amazon Basin represent one of the most important Biodiversity-Hotspots on Earth. At the same time, both systems face imminent dangers due to unsustainable use. Attempts of sustainable management and conservation must integrate local communities and their traditional knowledge. Management decisions need to include the high importance of natural resources in providing building materials, food and medicines for rural as well as urbanized communities. The traditional use of forest resources, particularly of non-timber products like medicinal plants, has deep roots not only in indigenous communities, but is practiced in a wide section of society.

In Eurasia satyrids account for a large part of the butterfly fauna, and many of the common species (e.g. Pararge spp.) are multivoltine even in northern Europe. Here the grass-feeding niche seems to be dominated by skippers, and only a very few of the American species north of, say, latitude 40 0 N have more than one generation per season. When rearing satyrids, the key word is PATIENCE. Most species grow very slowly and must be carried over the winter as diapausing larvae. On the other hand, generally they are quite tough and survive well under laboratory culture conditions. There is usually no problem getting eggs. I confine each wild or lab-mated female in a quart jar put on its side and scatter a handful of grass sedge the length of the jar so that the female will flutter on top of it. Females are fed individually each morning on sugar-water-soaked pieces of paper towel in petri dishes, then put into the jars. I cover the open end of each jar with a piece of nylon stocking held with a rubber band, then line the jars up on their sides on a shelf with a fluorescent light with two 40-watt tubes about 8 inches above.

  • CHECKLIST of WISCONSIN MOTHS (Superfamilies Mimallonoidea, Drepanoidea, Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, and Noctuoidea)
    WISCONSIN ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY SPECIAL PUBLICATION No. 6 JUNE 2018 CHECKLIST OF WISCONSIN MOTHS (Superfamilies Mimallonoidea, Drepanoidea, Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, and Noctuoidea) Leslie A. Ferge,1 George J. Balogh2 and Kyle E. Johnson3 ABSTRACT A total of 1284 species representing the thirteen families comprising the present checklist have been documented in Wisconsin, including 293 species of Geometridae, 252 species of Erebidae and 584 species of Noctuidae. Distributions are summarized using the six major natural divisions of Wisconsin; adult flight periods and statuses within the state are also reported. Examples of Wisconsin’s diverse native habitat types in each of the natural divisions have been systematically inventoried, and species associated with specialized habitats such as peatland, prairie, barrens and dunes are listed. INTRODUCTION This list is an updated version of the Wisconsin moth checklist by Ferge & Balogh (2000). A considerable amount of new information from has been accumulated in the 18 years since that initial publication. Over sixty species have been added, bringing the total to 1284 in the thirteen families comprising this checklist. These families are estimated to comprise approximately one-half of the state’s total moth fauna. Historical records of Wisconsin moths are relatively meager. Checklists including Wisconsin moths were compiled by Hoy (1883), Rauterberg (1900), Fernekes (1906) and Muttkowski (1907). Hoy's list was restricted to Racine County, the others to Milwaukee County. Records from these publications are of historical interest, but unfortunately few verifiable voucher specimens exist. Unverifiable identifications and minimal label data associated with older museum specimens limit the usefulness of this information. Covell (1970) compiled records of 222 Geometridae species, based on his examination of specimens representing at least 30 counties.
