Carmona Veyna Directora General de Patronato Universitario Subdirectora de Patronato PRESENTACIÓN Tras la búsqueda de establecer el estado del arte sobre la situación actual y tendencias en el uso y manejo de los recursos naturales de las zonas áridas, y bajo la premisa de: “Rescatar y revalorar capacidades para mejorar la productividad de las tierras y el cuidado del medioambiente ante el impacto probable del cambio climático en la seguridad alimentaria y los medios de vida de las zonas áridas”, en el presente documento se integran cerca de cien contribuciones, provenientes de los sectores académico, gubernamental y el civil organizado. Los ejes definidos para tal efecto fueron: 1) Efecto de las actividades antropogénicas en los recursos naturales y el ambiente; 2) Situación actual y tendencias del ambiente y los recursos naturales; y 3) Acciones para atención de la problemática de la degradación de la tierra. Este esfuerzo intelectual, es articulado por actores de distintos perfiles académicos y procedencias, quienes tras compartir la premisa antes mencionada, se constituyen como promoventes del III Congreso Internacional y XIII Congreso Nacional Sobre Recursos Bióticos De Zonas Áridas. Las instituciones de origen son: el Instituto de Innovación en Biosistemas para el Desarrollo Sustentable en Zonas Áridas (IIBIODEZA) de la Unidad Regional Universitaria de Zonas Áridas de la Universidad Autónoma Chapingo (URUZA-UACh), la Comisión Nacional Forestal (CONAFOR), la Universidad Autónoma Agraria Antonio Narro (UAAA), la Red de Desastres Asociados a Fenómenos Hidrometeorológicos y Climáticos (REDESClim-CONACyT), la Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes (UAA) y el Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Forestales, Agrícolas y Pecuarias (INIFAP). Ahora toca a estos mismos actores dar el siguiente paso. Esto es, dejar de preocuparse para ocuparse del desafío que representa revertir la tendencia de la degradación de la tierra, asumiendo los costos que ello implica; tal y como se planteó originalmente en el Reporte de la Comisión Brundtland, en 1987, bajo el nombre: “The World that we want” (El mundo que queremos), enfoque que ha sido retomado y refrendado por la Comunidad Internacional en el seno de la ONU en sus diversas Convenciones. La meta 15.3 de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible, se enfoca a “Luchar contra la desertificación, rehabilitar las tierras y los suelos degradados, incluidas las tierras afectadas por la desertificación, la sequía, las inundaciones, y procurar lograr un mundo con una degradación neutra de las tierras”. La Convención de las Naciones Unidas de Lucha Contra la Desertificación (CNULD o UNCCD) en seguimiento al proceso global de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible 2030, adoptó en la COP12 la meta 15.3 e inicio un Programa Mundial para el Establecimiento de Metas Nacionales de LDN. México se incorporó a finales de 2016, y desde entonces ha efectuado reuniones con todos los sectores gubernamentales, llegando así (16/06/2017) al Lanzamiento del Proceso de Inicio del Establecimiento de Metas Nacionales de LDN y preparación de una estrategia nacional para neutralizar la degradación de las tierras. Dada la magnitud del reto, entonces este es un pequeño granito de arena.

Legalov 1,2 1 Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, Ulitsa Frunze, 11, 630091 Novosibirsk, Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia; [email protected]; Tel.: +7-9139471413 2 Biological Institute, Tomsk State University, Lenin Ave, 36, 634050 Tomsk, Tomsk Oblast, Russia Received: 23 June 2020; Accepted: 4 September 2020; Published: 6 September 2020 Abstract: Currently, some 564 species of Curculionoidea from nine families (Nemonychidae—4, Anthribidae—33, Ithyceridae—3, Belidae—9, Rhynchitidae—41, Attelabidae—3, Brentidae—47, Curculionidae—384, Platypodidae—2, Scolytidae—37) are known from the Paleogene. Twenty-seven species are found in the Paleocene, 442 in the Eocene and 94 in the Oligocene. The greatest diversity of Curculionoidea is described from the Eocene of Europe and North America. The richest faunas are known from Eocene localities, Florissant (177 species), Baltic amber (124 species) and Green River formation (75 species). The family Curculionidae dominates in all Paleogene localities. Weevil species associated with herbaceous vegetation are present in most localities since the middle Paleocene. A list of Curculionoidea species and their distribution by location is presented. Keywords: Coleoptera; Curculionoidea; fossil weevil; faunal structure; Paleocene; Eocene; Oligocene 1. Introduction Research into the biodiversity of the past is very important for understanding the development of life on our planet. Insects are one of the Main components of both extinct and recent ecosystems. Coleoptera occupied a special place in the terrestrial animal biotas of the Mesozoic and Cenozoics, as they are characterized by not only great diversity but also by their ecological specialization.

  • Household Insects of the Rocky Mountain States
    Household Insects of the Rocky Mountain States Bulletin 557A January 1994 Colorado State University, University of Wyoming, Montana State University Issued in furtherance of Cooperative Extension work, Acts of May 8 and June 30, 1914, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Milan Rewerts, interim director of Cooperative Extension, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado. Cooperative Extension programs are available to all without discrimination. No endorsement of products named is intended nor is criticism implied of products not mentioned. FOREWORD This publication provides information on the identification, general biology and management of insects associated with homes in the Rocky Mountain/High Plains region. Records from Colorado, Wyoming and Montana were used as primary reference for the species to include. Mention of more specific localities (e.g., extreme southwestern Colorado, Front Range) is provided when the insects show more restricted distribution. Line drawings are provided to assist in identification. In addition, there are several lists based on habits (e.g., flying), size, and distribution in the home. These are found in tables and appendices throughout this manual. Control strategies are the choice of the home dweller. Often simple practices can be effective, once the biology and habits of the insect are understood. Many of the insects found in homes are merely casual invaders that do not reproduce nor pose a threat to humans, stored food or furnishings. These may often originate from conditions that exist outside the dwelling. Other insects found in homes may be controlled by sanitation and household maintenance, such as altering potential breeding areas (e.g., leaky faucets, spilled food, effective screening).

Twenty-three species documented from the parkway are first records for the state. Of the nine capture methods used during the survey, Malaise traps were the most successful. Periods of adult activity, based on dates of capture, are given for each species. Relative abundance is noted for each species based on the number of captures. Sixteen species adventive to North America are documented from the parkway, including three species documented for the first time in the state. Range extensions are documented for two species. Images of five species new to Virginia are provided. Keywords: beetles, biodiversity, Malaise traps, national parks, new state records, Potomac Gorge. INTRODUCTION This study provides a preliminary list of the weevils of the superfamily Curculionoidea within the George Washington Memorial Parkway (GWMP) national park site in northern Virginia.

  • Parthenium Hysterophorus Linn.) Biological Control in Australia
    Journal of Biological Control, 26 (2): 125-130, 2012 Review Article Current status of Parthenium (Parthenium hysterophorus Linn.) biological control in Australia K. DHILEEPAN* and RACHEL CRUTWELL McFAYDEN1 Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Biosecurity Queensland, Ecosciences Precinct, GPO Box 267 Boggo Road, Qld 4001, Australia 1 PO Box 88, Mt Ommaney Qld 4074, Australia Corresponding author Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Parthenium (Parthenium hysterophorus Linn.), an annual herbaceous plant native to the tropical Americas, is a weed of national significance in Australia. A major biological control program against parthenium in Australia commenced in 1977 and since then nine insect species and two rust fungi have been introduced into Australia. The stem-galling weevil, Conotrachelus albocinereus Deejan, the root-feeding clear-wing moth, Carmenta near ithacae, and the summer rust Puccinia xanthii var. parthenii- hysterophorae were the last three agents released. All agents established at some localities and seven are now widespread. Only the stem-galling moth Epiblema strenuana (Walker) is both widespread and damaging, occurring in all parthenium-infested areas in Australia at high population levels. In central Queensland the leaf-feeding beetle, Zygogramma bicolorata Pallister and stem-boring weevil, Listronotus setosipennis (Hustache) are also widespread and effective, while C. sp. nr. ithacae is at the early stages of field establishment and dispersal. In northern Queensland, E. strenuana and P. xanthii var. parthenii-hysterophorae are the only prominent agents. The combined impact of these agents has resulted in significant reductions in the abundance and impact of parthenium in most situations and seasons, though serious infestations can still occur.

INTRODUCTION This list of Ohio Economic Insects and Related Arthropods was first assembled back in 1962-1964 while employed as the first "Survey Entomologist" of Ohio based at The Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, Wooster, Ohio. It was felt that such a list would serve as a valuable reference and useful purpose for commercial, government and public needs. This list was prepared and updated in cooperation with faculty of the Ohio Cooperative Extension Service, the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, the Ohio Department of Agriculture, the Ohio Department of Health, the Ohio State University and the Plant Pest Control Division of the United States Department of Agriculture. Common and scientific names are listed under various host and habitat categories. ACKNQWLEDGEMENT Several individuals have made valuable contributions to this list of Ohio Insects and Related Arthropods. by updating common names, scientific names, hosts and habitats. Carl W.

The West Indian canefly, Saccharosydne saccharivora(tlestwood), wasthe mostabundant speiies collectedwith densitiesreaching over 40 per shoot. Populationdensities varied sigrificantly throughoutthe seasonin 1993but were similar in 1994. No differencein densitieswere found between sugarcane cultivars. Both the sugarcanedelphacid, Perhinsiella saccharicidaKirkaldyand the leafhopperDraeculacephala portola Ball, were found in low numbers(< 1.0per shoot). P. saccharicidareached its highest levelslater in the season,and 'CP 70-321'shoots harbored more individuals than 'NCo 310' shoots.Although D. portola dertsitieswere low, differe,ncesamong fields andbetwecn cultivars were found. Aggregation,as measuredusing Taylor a and b coefficients, was shown to be greaterfor ,S.saccharivora than the other species. INTRODUCTION Sugarcane(interspecific hybrids of Saccharum)has been commercially grown in a tlree- county areaof southemTexas since 1972. Stemboringpyralids, Mexican rice borer, Eoreuma loftini (Dyar), andsugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis(F.), havebeen the most seriousinsect pests of the in{ustry (Meagher et al. 1994); however, other insects are active in the Texas sugarcaneagroecos)Nstem.
