SHAH† CABI Bioscience UK Centre, Silwood Park, Ascot, Berks. SL5 7TA, UK. E-mail: h.evans!cabi.org Received 2 September 2001; accepted 28 April 2002. The occurrence of disease outbreaks associated with the genus Sorosporella on grasshoppers and locusts (Orthoptera: Acridoidea) in Africa is reported. Infected hosts, representing ten genera within five acridoid subfamilies, are characterized by red, thick-walled chlamydospores which completely fill the cadaver. On selective media, the chlamydospores, up to seven-years-old, germinated to produce a Syngliocladium anamorph which is considered to be undescribed. The new species Syngliocladium acridiorum is described and two varieties are delimited: var. acridiorum, on various grasshopper and locust genera from the Sahelian region of West Africa; and, var. madagascariensis, on the Madagascan migratory locust. The ecology of these insect-fungal associations is discussed. Sorosporella is treated as a synonym of Syngliocladium. INTRODUCTION synanamorph, Syngliocladium Petch.

  • Traditional Knowledge Regarding Edible Insects in Burkina Faso
    Séré et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2018) 14:59 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13002-018-0258-z RESEARCH Open Access Traditional knowledge regarding edible insects in Burkina Faso Aminata Séré1, Adjima Bougma1, Judicaël Thomas Ouilly1, Mamadou Traoré2, Hassane Sangaré1, Anne Mette Lykke3, Amadé Ouédraogo4, Olivier Gnankiné5 and Imaël Henri Nestor Bassolé1* Abstract Background: Insects play an important role as a diet supplement in Burkina Faso, but the preferred insect species vary according to the phytogeographical zone, ethnic groups, and gender. The present study aims at documenting indigenous knowledge on edible insects in Burkina Faso. Methods: A structured ethno-sociological survey was conducted with 360 informants in nine villages located in two phytogeographical zones of Burkina Faso. Identification of the insects was done according to the classification of Scholtz. Chi-square tests and principal component analysis were performed to test for significant differences in edible insect species preferences among phytogeographical zones, villages, ethnic groups, and gender. Results: Edible insects were available at different times of the year. They were collected by hand picking, digging in the soil, and luring them into water traps. The edible insects collected were consumed fried, roasted, or grilled. All species were indifferently consumed by children, women, and men without regard to their ages. A total of seven edible insect species belonging to five orders were cited in the Sudanian zone of Burkina Faso. Macrotermes subhyalinus (Rambur), Cirina butyrospermi (Vuillet, 1911), Kraussaria angulifera (Krauss, 1877), Gryllus campestris (Linnaeus, 1758), and Carbula marginella (Thunberg) (35.66–8.47% of the citations) were most cited whereas Rhynchophorus phoenicis (Fabricius, 1801) and Oryctes sp.

  • The Earth As a Whole Being by Rabbi Michele Brand Medwin, D.Min
    The Earth as a Whole Being By Rabbi Michele Brand Medwin, D.Min. RH Morning 2018, 5779 Rosh Hashanah is considered the birthday of the world. We will be reading the creation story during tomorrow morning’s Torah service. The creation of the world is a major theme throughout our liturgy. We recite the Maariv Aravim prayer that talks about God who “transforms day into night and arranges the stars.” The Shabbat Kiddush says, “You made holy Shabbat our heritage as a reminder of the work of Creation.” So what is our relation to the world that God created? In the second creation story we read, “There was no shrub or grasses because there was no one to till the soil.” God created us, human beings, to care for the world. The shrubs and grasses could not flourish without the loving touch of human presence. And what have we done with the world God created for us? Let’s take a look. One day God was talking to Adam in Olam Haba, the World-to-Come, and they were reminiscing. God said, “Adam, Remember when you first saw the Garden of Eden. It was so beautiful back then. Something doesn’t seem right now. What is going on down on earth? I had a perfect no- maintenance garden plan. I created plants to grow in any type of soil, withstand drought and multiply with abandon. The nectar from the long-lasting blossoms attracts butterflies, honeybees and flocks of songbirds. I expected to see a vast garden of colors by now.

Department of Crop Protection, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Maiduguri, Borno State, Nigeria Corresponding Authors’ email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The experiment was conducted in a screen house in Jere (130 9N, 110 4E) and Maiduguri (120 8N, 120 5E) of Borno State in 2015 to evaluate the effects of different crops on the cuticle and body weight of Kraussaria angulifera (Krauss) in the Sahel and Sudan Savanna zones. The experiment was laid in a completely randomized block design. Experimental cage of 6˟4.5˟1m, was divided into 6 compartments of 1x1.5x1m planted to 6 crop treatments of maize, sorghum, millet, maize and sorghum, sorghum and millet, millet and maize and replicated 3 times. Seven day old F1 nymphs were introduced into each compartment. Data collection was done every week for the above variables. The results obtained in the two zones revealed that nymphs fed on millet had the longest (36.17) mean length of cuticle at instar five when compared to the other treatments. Nymphs fed on maize had the least (33.17) mean length of cuticle. The weight of cuticle also showed that nymphs fed on millet had the highest (0.065g) weight of cuticle while nymphs fed on maize had the least (0.063g).

Previously, Hartford’s agricultural oral history has been documented primarily through volunteers, often with interview recordings and transcriptions occurring at separate phases with different people. In 2009, additional historical research was provided through the 2009 Vermont Barn Census. The purpose of this agricultural oral history project is to document the history of local residents who grew up or worked on a farm in the Town of Hartford. The Town is comprised of five villages: White River Junction, Hartford, Wilder, Quechee and West Hartford, in addition to several smaller hamlets. TIME & TRANSCRIPTION TOPICS 00:00:01 KO: Today is Friday July 13, 2012. I am Kaitlin O’Shea and I am interviewing Barbara Bugbee and Scott Luce for the Hartford Agricultural Introductions Oral History Project.

CHRIS OLUKAYODE ADEDIRE FESN B.Sc., M.Sc (Ilorin), Ph.D. (lfe) Professor- of Etitomology' " 2· _ place between individuals, between collectivities, or between individuals and collectivities. Intergroup as well as intragroup conflicts are perennial features of social life". In the present context, conflict may be conceptualised as competition for the same resources; notably food, water, nutrients etc - except mating partners and it is interspecific. The Bible attests to the fact that there was ecological equilibrium at the dawn of creation because God said that all the things He created were good (Genesis 1:3 I). However, a significant step in the cultural evolution of man is the development oflarge scale cu Itivation or crops or monoculture and the capacity to store the excess crops so produced. This step, ' significant as it is, also led to the creation of artificial environment for insects; thus resulting in ecological imbalances. The built-up environment, road constructions, impoundment of inland waterways and various other activities associated with human development have all created breeding sites for some insects and intermediate hosts of the causative organisms of diseases at the expense of their natural enem ies. It is apparent, therefore, that either overtly or covertly, many human activities result into conflict either with fellow humans or with other components ofhis other biotic or abiotic environment. Consequently, cdriflicts in this context may be perceived as an integral part of human existence and may not necessarily result in the destruction of human society even though they start and terminate with or without human intervention. Sandole (1993) suggested that nothing.was inherently wrong with conflict but, instead, it.is seen as a catalyst for promoting social development, higher degree social order and new awareness in cooperative living.

    Bulletin de la Société entomologique de France Inventaire et répartition géographique des Acridiens d'Afrique de l'Ouest (Orthoptera, Caelifera) Jacques Mestre, Joëlle Chiffaud Résumé Résumé. -Faisant suite aux divers travaux systématiques et faunistiques réalisés au cours des trente dernières années, les auteurs font le point sur l'inventaire et la répartition des Acridiens d'Afrique de l'Ouest. Les problèmes systématiques, en particulier les besoins de révision de genres, sont soulignés. La zone d'étude, au sud du 22°N, s'étend des îles du Cap-Vert au Tchad, englobant des milieux qui vont du désert à la forêt humide. On a recensé 363 espèces, appartenant à 184 genres ; une centaine d'entre elles ne sont signalées que de cette région, dont au moins une cinquantaine sont endémiques. Abstract Summary. -Checklist and geographical distribution of West african acridoids (Orthoptera, Caelifera). Following taxonomic and faunistic works of the thirty past years, acridoid species from West Africa are listed with their geographical distribution. Taxonomic problems, particularly genera in need of revision, are discussed. The area under study, south of 22°N, extends from Cape Verde Islands to Chad, with habitats lying from desert to humid forest. We record 363 species belonging to 184 genera ; about one hundred of them are known only from this area, and at least fifty are endemics.
