But producing more is only the start. Monsanto’s seeds enable farmers to grow more food while using fewer key resources like fuel and land. And that reduces the impact of farming on the environment. Producing more. Conserving more. Improving farmers’ lives. That’s sustainable agriculture. And that’s what Monsanto is all about. 6 Programme FEBRUARY 8 (Sunday) 15.00 REGISTRATION 17.00 - 17.10 Opening, Welcome address by Prof. A.

  • 14 European Symposium for Insect Taste and Olfaction (ESITO
    14th European Symposium for Insect Taste and Olfaction (ESITO) ABSTRACTS September 20-25, 2015 Villasimius (Cagliari – Italy) www.ice.mpg.de/esito Agustina Falibene, Flavio Roces, Wolfgang Rössler Department of Behavioral Physiology and Sociobiology, Biozentrum, University of Würzburg, Germany, [email protected] Odor learning in ants: synaptic plasticity associated with long-term avoidance memory formation Long-term behavioral changes related to learning and experience have been shown to be associated with structural remodeling in the brain. Leaf-cutting ants learn to avoid previously preferred plants after those are experienced to be harmful for their symbiotic fungus, a process that involves long-term olfactory memory. We studied the dynamics of brain microarchitectural changes after long-term olfactory memory formation following avoidance learning in Acromyrmex ambiguus. Quantification of synaptic complexes (microglomeruli, MG) in olfactory regions of the mushroom bodies (MB) at different times after learning revealed a transient change in MG densities. Two days after learning, lip MG density was higher than before learning. At days 4 and 15 after learning – when ants still showed plant avoidance – MG densities had decreased to the initial state. Changes were observed in the lip but not in the visual collar in which MG densities remained unaffected. Furthermore, enriched experience such as the simultaneous collection of several, instead of one, non-harmful plant species resulted in a decrease in MG densities (pruning). The results indicate that learning and sensory experience affect the synaptic architecture of the MB calyces via different processes. While sensory experience leads to MG pruning in the MB olfactory lip, long-term memory formation appears to involve growth of new MG followed by the elimination of others.

  • Forensic Entomology: an Overview
    Forensic entomology: an overview Fabiola Tuccia, Giorgia Giordani, Stefano Vanin§ FLEA (Forensic Lab for Entomology and Archaeology), School of Applied Sciences, University of Huddersfield.§ [email protected] Accepted date : 1st November 2017 Published date: 7th February 2018 Abstract Insects are the most important, in terms of number and diversity, group of animals on the earth. Insects have colonized all the world’s environments and are associated with both human life and death. Although their economical and sanitary importance is well documented, in the past few years they have been used also in a forensic context. In forensic entomology, necrophagous insects have proved useful in; studying postmortem interval (PMI), postmortem transfer (the movement of a body from one location to another after death), presence of drugs or poisons, and in identifying the victim and/or the suspect. Many species can be used to estimate the minimum PMI (mPMI), according to the stage of cadaver decomposition, body exposure, geographical region, and season. The most important British flies of forensic interest are described. Key words: Insects, Forensic Entomology, PMI, drug detection, Diptera Introduction The word ‘forensic’ comes from the Latin forēnsis, meaning ‘before the forum’, the place where ancient Romans used to discuss about social, political, economic and judicial matters. In such a context, criminal charges were presented before a group of public individual in the forum. Nowadays forensic sciences involve the application of any kind of science to the investigation of legal matters. Actually discussions about the use of science in criminal and civil law typically concern the subject of forensic physical evidence as observation, identification and interpretation.

    Proceedings of the United States National Museum SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION . WASHINGTON, B.C. Volume 117 1965 Number 3508 MICROLEPIDOPTERA OF JUAN FERNANDEZ ISLANDS By J. F. Gates Clarke Chairman, Department of Entomology Introduction It has been my privilege and pleasure to study the Microlepidoptera collected in the Juan Fernandez Islands in 1951, 1952, and 1955 by Dr. Guillermo Kuschel, Centro de Investigationes Zoologicas, Uni- versity of Chile, Santiago, and to him my thanks are due for this opportunity. Through the coui-tesy of Dr. Kuschel I have been permitted to deposit the types of all the new species in the collection of the U.S. National Museum, Smithsonian Institution. Paratypes of some of the species, where series permitted, are also in the Museum, while others are distributed in the Natural History Museum and the University of Chile in Santiago. My sincere thanks are due Dr. Lars Brundin, Naturhistoriska Riksmuseum, Stockholm, for his generous permission to study Auri- villius' types deposited in that institution. To Mr. John D. Bradley, Department of Entomology, British Museum (Natural History), I am also grateful for his help received on many occasions. The drawings for this paper were made by Mr. Arthur D. Cushman, staff artist of the Entomology Research Division, U.S. Department of Agriculture; Mrs. Patricia Hogue; Mrs. Caroline Lutz, staff artist, Department of Zoology, Smithsonian Institution; and by myself. 1 2 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM Vol. 117 The collections made by Dr. Kuschel are of more than usual interest because they are the first of any size from the islands and are the first to provide any tangible information about possible origins of the fauna.

  • Differences in the Olfactory Sensitivity of Ceratitis Capitata to Headspace
    diversity Article Differences in the Olfactory Sensitivity of Ceratitis capitata to Headspace of Some Host Plants in Relation to Sex, Mating Condition and Population Giorgia Sollai * , Paolo Solari and Roberto Crnjar Department of Biomedical Sciences, Section of Physiology, University of Cagliari, 09042 Monserrato (CA), Italy; [email protected] (P.S.); [email protected] (R.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected] ; Tel.: +39-070-6754160 Received: 25 April 2020; Accepted: 22 May 2020; Published: 24 May 2020 Abstract: The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata Wied., is among the most serious pests in horticulture worldwide, due to its high reproductive potential, difficulty of control and broad polyphagy. The aim of this study was to measure—by means of the electroantennogram recordings—the antennal olfactory sensitivity of virgin, mated, male, female, lab-reared and wild C. capitata following stimulation with fruit and leaf headspace of some host-plants: clementine, orange, prickly pear, lemon and apple. The results show that: (a) lab-reared mated males are more sensitive to host-plant fruit and leaf headspace than females, while the opposite was true for wild insects; (b) antennae of wild virgin males were more sensitive than the mated ones, while no difference was observed among lab-reared medflies; (c) lab-reared virgin females were more sensitive than mated ones, while few differences were found within wild medflies; (d) in mated insects, lab-reared males were more sensitive to both host-plant fruits and leaves than the wild ones, while the opposite was found for females. Taken together, these results show that the olfactory sensitivity to host-plant odors differs between virgin and mated and lab-reared and wild flies.
