A Revision of the Coleopterous Family Coccinellid
4T COCCINELLnXE. : (JTambrfljrjr PRINTED BY C. J. CLAY, M.A. AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS. : d,x A REVISION OF THE COLEOPTEEOUS FAMILY COCCINELLIDJ5., GEORGE ROBERT CROTCH/ M.A. hi Honfcon E. W. JANSON, 28, MUSEUM STREET. 1874. — PREFACE. Having spent many happy hours with the lamented author in the examination of the beautiful forms of which this book treats, I have felt it a pleasant thing to be associated, even in so humble a capacity, with its introduction to the Entomological world ; and the little service I have had the privilege of rendering in the revision of the proof-sheets of the latter half of the work, has been quite a labour of love enabling me to offer a slight testimony of affection to a kind friend, and of my personal interest in that family of the Coleoptera which had first attracted my attention by the singular loveliness of its numerous species. A careful revision by the author himself would have been of incalculable value to the work ; its usefulness would also have been greatly enhanced, had it been possible for him to have made those modifications and additions which his investigations in America afforded materials for. But, of course, this was not possible. There is, however, the conso- lation of knowing that the student can obtain the results of those later researches, in the author's memoir, entitled " Revision of the Coccinellidse of the United States," to which Mr Janson refers in the note which follows this preface. When, in the autumn of 1872, Mr Crotch took his departure for the United States of America, as the first VI PREFACE. -

The Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Arthropods in Michigan Celery Agroecosystems
THE SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL DISTRIBUTION OF ARTHROPODS IN MICHIGAN CELERY AGROECOSYSTEMS By Jeremy J. Jubenville A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Entomology - Master of Science 2015 ABSTRACT THE SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL DISTRIBUTION OF ARTHROPODS IN MICHIGAN CELERY AGROECOSYSTEMS By Jeremy J. Jubenville Understanding the source of insects within an agricultural production system is essential to selecting the most suitable management practices. In this thesis, I examine the spatial patterns of arthropods in Michigan commercial celery systems and evaluate whether field margins are sources of insects therein. Insect abundance was measured at different distances within six different celery fields located in southwest Michigan during 2013 and 2014. Most herbivores were evenly distributed throughout the field, although minor edge effects were detected when overall abundance was low. Herbivore abundance in margins, relative to the field, varied across groups; tarnished plant bugs and leafhoppers are key pests that may be using margins for habitat. Most predators were evenly distributed across the field. Syrphid flies were more abundant in margins, suggesting greater association with these areas than other groups. Parasitoid abundance was also consistently margin-centric across groups during both seasons. In 2014, I performed a mark-capture experiment in which three field margins were sprayed with a protein marker. Arthropods were subsequently captured and tested for the presence of the protein. Most groups had at least one individual testing positive for the presence of the marker, but the majority of specimens in every group tested negative. Variation in mark percentage, as well as the spatial distribution of marks, showed that some groups, such as tarnished plant bugs and syrphid flies, utilize the margins more than others.
