LAT. ZONE IN THE WESTERN CARPATHIAN MTS.

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2013, LXI, No. 3, pp. 637–646 Structure of psocid taxocenoses (Psocoptera) were intensively studied in forest ecosystems of the Western Carpathian Mts. and Polonic biogeographical subprovincy during 1997–2001 in the Czech Republic. Vegetation tiers (= altitudinal vegetation zones) were used as a study frame. Only a part of material, i.e. individuals that was found in the forest ecosystems of Querci-fageta s. lat. communities (= the 3rd oak-beech vegetation tier) was evaluated for purpose of this work. This vegetation tier is widespread in large part of the Opavská pahorkatina hills, in large parts of Podbeskydská pahorktina hills, in the Bílé Karpaty hills and in the foothills of the Vsetínské vrchy hills. 1201 adults comprising 29 species were found in total in the 3rd vegetation tier. As eudominant species, the following ones were found: Peripsocus subfasciatus, Caecilius fl avius and Stenopsocus lachlani, as dominant species, the following ones were found: Philotarsus parviceps and Caecilius piceus. In natural geobiocenoses with the level of naturalness of 1 or 2, the following species were found: as eudominant species: Caecilius fl avidus, Peripsocus phaeopterus, as dominant species, the following ones were found: Caecilius piceus, Peripsocus subfasciatus, Philotarsus parviceps and Elipsocus moebiusi.

Yoshizawa, K.: Systematic Entomology, Graduate School of Agriculture, Hokkaido University, Sapporo 060-8589, Japan. Introduction Unfortunately, a comprehensive documentation of authorities for family-group names is lacking for psocids. This lack of information is particularly problematic in a period when phylogenetic research results in the frequent propositions of new classifications (e. g. Yoshizawa & Johnson, 2014; Yoshizawa et al., 2014; Yoshizawa, 2016). According to the principle of coordination applied to family-group names (ICZN Article 36) each name can be used in all ranks of the family-group with the same authorship and date, the rank-specific suffixes being -ina (subtribe), -ini (tribe), -inae (subfamily), -idae (family) and -oidea (superfamily). All family-group names of the suborder Trogiomorpha that we were able to retrieve from the literature are listed here, including names based on fossil genera clearly assignable to Psocoptera (see Mockford et al., 2013).

  • Psocid News the Psocidologists’ Newsletter No
    ISSN 1348-1770 Sapporo, Japan Psocid News The Psocidologists’ Newsletter No. 22 (Feb 29, 2020) Edward in his garden at Alwoodley OBITUARY – EDWARD BROADHEAD (8TH JANUARY 1920–29TH OCTOBER 2018) By Bryan TURNER Edward Broadhead died in October 2018 just a few months short of his 99th birthday. The only other obituary of Edward Broadhead I know of is the one posted on the Leeds university website1, written by his last PhD student, Nigel Franks, now Emeritus professor at Bristol University. As a PhD student of Edward myself, from 1969-1972, I found Nigel’s ‘very fond obituary’ perfectly summarises the academic supervisor/student relationship that Edward fostered. Always warm and caring, thought provoking, and challenging he has left lasting and fond memories in all those he worked with. I too remember visiting his home in Alwoodley, Leeds, being looked after by his lovely wife, Elcy, and being shown round his beautiful garden. Later when the garden became too much of a burden they moved to a flat in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, very close to the Royal Horticultural Gardens at Harlow Carr so that Edward could still get his garden fix. Throughout his academic career his focus was on aspects of psocid ecology, although with Nigel he deviated to army ants and eventually to rainforest insects in general in Panama. As a zoology undergraduate at Oxford University (1938-41) he was taught by Charles Elton, one of the founding fathers of the new science of Animal Ecology. Edward’s contribution to the war effort following graduation was to be sent to the Government Pest Infestation Laboratories to study the biology of Liposcelis bostrychophila, a species of booklouse that I too have studied extensively and which I admire for its amazing abilities to use man’s modes of transport to effectively reach all parts of the world, ranking as one of the most efficient but fortunately relatively benign insect pest species.

Bob Saville (National Barkfly Recording Scheme organiser, Edinburgh) In the acknowledgments section of the second edition of Tim New’s British Psocoptera handbook [New, T. 2005. Psocids Psocoptera (Booklice and barklice). Handbooks for the identification of British Insects 1(7), 146pp Royal Entomological Society] Tim notes his disappointment that so few people have adopted Psocoptera for study in Britain in recent years. This was a problem that I was well aware of (and is, of course, also the case for most insect groups) but seeing it in black and white inspired me to seriously try to think of a solution. But what to do?! A good number of years ago, when I was involved with the Scottish Wildlife Trust, I was asked to come up with an idea for a faunal project for trainee surveyors. I suggested a seasonal study of the psocids found on four yew trees at an estate near Edinburgh. The trainees had no experience of Psocoptera (or indeed any insects at all) and I was somewhat surprised but encouraged to see how quickly some of them developed an interest in the group. The project was so successful that it was run for four consecutive years. A good part of the reason for its success was because the information they needed to carry out the project was readily at hand. For example, the ability to easily identify species provided by Tim’s handbook was a major help - if keys in foreign languages or scattered papers had been the only resource then the project would undoubtedly never have happened.

I recently joined the psocid community after completing a master's degree in botany at the University of Missouri - St. Louis. Insects are much more interesting than plants, so I was happy to begin working on psocids in 2005 when I started my doctoral thesis at the University of Illinois under the advisement of Dr. Kevin Johnson. My thesis project focuses on the radiation of Ptycta (Psocidae) on the Hawaiian Islands, where there are more than 50 described species. I am investigating the diversity, morphological and molecular phylogenetics, and biogeographic history of the group in order to describe the origin and timing of colonization. Dr. Edward Mockford has taught me a great deal about the morphology and natural history of psocids, both here in Illinois and during a collecting trip in Hawaii in January of 2007. During the summer of 2006, I received a NSF/JSPS fellowship that allowed me to work with Dr.
