Die Umsetzungen der Anregungen der vom Bayerischen Staatsministerium für Bildung und Kultus, Wissenschaft und Kunst (StMBKWK) eingesetzten Strukturkommission StrukBY2013 wurden von Seiten der SNSB praktisch zur Gänze vollzogen. Demgegenüber sind aber die Anregungen in Richtungen der Trägerseite als weitgehend unerfüllt anzusehen: Die Ressourcenausstattung an planbaren Personal- und Finanzmitteln, welche die Kommission (ebenso wie knapp davor sogar der Oberste Bayerische Rechnungshof) als viel zu gering eingestuft hat, sind an keinem einzigen Punkt verbessert worden. Mehrere Institutionen leiden nach wie vor täglich an einer geradezu lächerlich schwachen Internet-Anbindung, die Personalausstattung der Zentralverwaltung ist unverändert völlig unzureichend und fällt weit hinter dem Standard anderer deutscher Naturkundemuseen oder der Münchener Universitäten zurück. Auch die schon mehrfach zugesagte Einsetzung einer Strategiekommission durch das Staatsministerium (StMBKWK) zur Verwirklichung des angestrebten Beitrittes der SNSB zur Leibniz-Gemeinschaft ist wiederum nicht erfolgt. Ebenfalls Fehlanzeige ist bis dato für die Lösung der akuten Raumnot der Anthropologischen Sammlungen zu vermelden. Das zentrale Großprojekt der SNSB, die Erweiterung des Museums Mensch und Natur zum „Naturkundemuseum Bayern“ (NaMu.Bayern) hat im Jahre 2014 nur bedingt Fortschritte gemacht: Nach der späten Absage des designierten Gründungsdirektors im Juli 2014 wurde vom Staatsministerium ein erneuter Anlauf zur Gewinnung einer international respektierten und fachkundigen Persönlichkeit für diese Funktion gestartet. Dieser zweite Anlauf war zwar erfolgreich, leider konnte Prof. Dr. Michael-John Gorman, den ich an dieser Stelle herzlich willkommen heiße, erst mit 1. Okt. 2015 die Arbeiten aufnehmen, er wird wohl erst im Frühjahr 2016 vollzeitig in München tätig sein. Dementsprechend haben sich die Planungsarbeiten verzögert, ebenso sind der Beginn der Bauarbeiten und damit die anvisierte Eröffnung des NaMu-Bayern deutlich nach hinten geschoben worden. Entscheidend erscheint derzeit die möglichst rasche Besetzung und Implementierung der zugesagten, dringlich benötigten Zusatzkräfte, um die stark verzögerten Planungsarbeiten zu beschleunigen. Sehr erfreulich war in 2014 allerdings die auf Initiative mehrerer Landtagsabgeordnete zustande gekommene Etablierung des „Naturkunde Netz Bayern“. Dieses Netzwerk umfasst das zukünftige NaMu-Bayern bzw. derzeit noch das Museum Mensch und Natur, und unsere vier Regionalmuseen in Bamberg, Bayreuth, Eichstätt und Nördlingen, geht aber in seiner Wirkung deutlich darüber hinaus. Dazu wurde jedem Regionalmuseum ab 1. Januar 2015 eine halbe Akademikerstelle sowie nicht unwesentliche Finanzmittel (aktuell auf zwei Jahre begrenzt, wobei wir auf eine Verstetigung hoffen) zugeteilt. Als erstes wesentliches Gesamtprojekt wird derzeit eine Smartphone-App mit Museumsführungen von allen vier SNSB-Regionalmuseen erstellt. Die dafür notwendige Programmierung und technischen Voraussetzungen werden mit Hilfe der Bayerischen Sparkassenstiftung und der Landesstelle für die nichtstaatlichen Museen in Bayern realisiert, denen wir an dieser Stelle herzlich danken. Ebenfalls erfreulich war der Abschluss (Kassengebäude Botanischer Garten) sowie die Bewilligung bzw. Planungsstart von zwei Großbaumaßnahmen (Ostflügel Botanikgebäude mit Verglasung Gewächshäuser und Zoologische Staatssammlung), die beide die Unterbringungsmöglichkeiten des Herbars bzw. von mehreren zoologischen Sammlungsteilen deutlich verbessern werden. 5 Bericht des Generaldirektors Ein aktueller Vergleich der Publikationslisten hat einmal mehr gezeigt, dass trotz in Relation zur Sammlungsgröße deutlich geringerer Ressourcenlage die Forschungsleistung der SNSB-Mitarbeiter/ innen in Deutschland an der Spitze steht, insbesondere in den Themen „DNA-Barcoding und integrative Taxonomie“, „Biodiversitäts-Informatik und Datenbankwesen“ sowie „Lebenswelt Jura“ haben die SNSB sogar weltweite Bedeutung erlangt. Es ist kein Zufall sondern Konsequenz, dass dies genau dort geschieht, wo das Staatsministerium durch dankenswerterweise gewährte Sondermittel die nach wie vor drückende Finanz- und Personalnot gemildert hat. Einmal mehr wird dadurch belegt, dass in den SNSB auf allen Ebenen herausragende Leistungen möglich sind – wenn die Basisausstattung mit den Ansprüchen Schritt hält. Der Besucherstrom von über 750.000 – mehr als jedes andere Naturkundemuseum in Deutschland - hat gegenüber dem Rekordjahr 2013 zwar etwas nachgelassen, ist aber insbesondere angesichts der Doppelbelastung der Museumsleitung des Museums Mensch und Natur durch laufenden Betrieb und die angelaufene NaMu- Planung nach wie vor als beachtlich zu bezeichnen. Die wieder deutlich über 30 Sonderausstellungen in den SNSB-Institutionen in München und den Regionen zeigen, dass die Leistungsbereitschaft und –dichte auch im Ausstellungsbereich ungebrochen sind.

  • Hoverfly Newsletter 36
    HOVERFLY NUMBER 36 NEWSLETTER AUGUST 2003 ISSN 1358-5029 This edition is being produced in the wake of the second international symposium which was held in Alicante in June. Alan Stubbs has commented below that Spain was, as expected, too dry in mid-June for many hoverflies to be found. It seems to me that the same comment is true for Britain for much of the present season; although I have had a few productive days this year, on the majority of occasions when I have been in the field hoverfly numbers have proved to be sparse as a result of the hot and very dry conditions. The growth of interest on the subject however continues unabated, as anyone who subscribes to the UK hoverfly email exchange group will testify. Copy for Hoverfly Newsletter No. 37 (which is expected to be issued in February 2004) should be sent to me: David Iliff, Green Willows, Station Road, Woodmancote, Cheltenham, Glos, GL52 9HN, Email address [email protected], to reach me by 20 December.

We report here for the first time the occurrence of a member of the genus in China, Stillingia lineata subsp. pacifica. The distribution of the genus in China is apparently narrow, known only from Pingzhou and Wanzhou Islands of the Wanshan Archipelago in the South China Sea, which is close to the Pearl River estuary. This study updates our knowledge on the geographic distribution of the genus, and provides new palynological data as well. Key words: Island, Hippomaneae, South China Sea, Stillingia lineata Introduction During the last decade, hundreds of new plant species or new species records have been added to the flora of China. Nevertheless, newly described or newly recorded plant genera are not discovered and reported very often, suggesting that botanical expedition and plant survey at the generic level may be advanced in China. As far as we know, only six and eight angiosperm genera respectively have been newly described or newly recorded from China within the last ten years (Qiang et al.

ZooKeys 441: 63–90. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.441.7461 Abstract A checklist of the family Chironomidae (Diptera) recorded from Finland is presented. Keywords Finland, Chironomidae, species list, biodiversity, faunistics Introduction There are supposedly at least 15 000 species of chironomid midges in the world (Armitage et al. 1995, but see Pape et al. 2011) making it the largest family among the aquatic insects. The European chironomid fauna consists of 1262 species (Sæther and Spies 2013). In Finland, 780 species can be found, of which 37 are still undescribed (Paasivirta 2012). The species checklist written by B. Lindeberg on 23.10.1979 (Hackman 1980) included 409 chironomid species. Twenty of those species have been removed from the checklist due to various reasons. The total number of species increased in the 1980s to 570, mainly due to the identification work by me and J. Tuiskunen (Bergman and Jansson 1983, Tuiskunen and Lindeberg 1986).

Flowering phenology and anthophilous insect communities on 64 plant species of 35 families were studied in the marsh in 1994-95. A total of 936 individuals of 215 species in eight orders of Insecta were collected on flowers from mid April to mid October, The anthophilous insect community was characterized by dominance of Diptera (58 9e of individuals) and relative paucity of Hymenoptera (26 9o), Hemiptera (6 9e), Lepidoptera (5 9e), and Coleoptera (5 9o), Syrphidae was the most abundant family and probably the most important pollination agents. Bee community was characterized by dominance of an aboveground nesting bee genus, Hylaeus (Colletidae), the most abundant species of which was a minute, rare little-recorded species. Cluster analysis on fiower-visiting insect spectra grouped 64 plant species into seven clusters, which were respectively characterized by dominance of small or large bees (18 spp.), syrphid fiies (13 spp.), Calyptrate and other flies (11 spp.), wasps and middle-sized bees (8 spp.), Lepidoptera (2 spp.), Coleoptera (1 sp.) and a mixture of these various insects (11 spp.).

C. Lee 1, Stacey J. Anderson2, Lucy T. T. Tran-Nguyen3, Nader Sallam4, Bruno P. Le Ru5,6, Desmond Conlong7,8, Kevin Powell 9, Andrew Ward10 & Andrew Mitchell1 Lepidopteran stemborers are among the most damaging agricultural pests worldwide, able to reduce crop yields by up to 40%. Sugarcane is the world’s most prolifc crop, and several stemborer species from the families Noctuidae, Tortricidae, Crambidae and Pyralidae attack sugarcane. Australia is currently free of the most damaging stemborers, but biosecurity eforts are hampered by the difculty in morphologically distinguishing stemborer species. Here we assess the utility of DNA barcoding in identifying stemborer pest species. We review the current state of the COI barcode sequence library for sugarcane stemborers, assembling a dataset of 1297 sequences from 64 species. Sequences were from specimens collected and identifed in this study, downloaded from BOLD or requested from other authors. We performed species delimitation analyses to assess species diversity and the efectiveness of barcoding in this group. Seven species exhibited <0.03 K2P interspecifc diversity, indicating that diagnostic barcoding will work well in most of the studied taxa. We identifed 24 instances of identifcation errors in the online database, which has hampered unambiguous stemborer identifcation using barcodes. Instances of very high within-species diversity indicate that nuclear markers (e.g. 18S, 28S) and additional morphological data (genitalia dissection of all lineages) are needed to confrm species boundaries.
