  • 1 It's All Geek to Me: Translating Names Of
    IT’S ALL GEEK TO ME: TRANSLATING NAMES OF INSECTARIUM ARTHROPODS Prof. J. Phineas Michaelson, O.M.P. U.S. Biological and Geological Survey of the Territories Central Post Office, Denver City, Colorado Territory [or Year 2016 c/o Kallima Consultants, Inc., PO Box 33084, Northglenn, CO 80233-0084] ABSTRACT Kids today! Why don’t they know the basics of Greek and Latin? Either they don’t pay attention in class, or in many cases schools just don’t teach these classic languages of science anymore. For those who are Latin and Greek-challenged, noted (fictional) Victorian entomologist and explorer, Prof. J. Phineas Michaelson, will present English translations of the scientific names that have been given to some of the popular common arthropods available for public exhibits. This paper will explore how species get their names, as well as a brief look at some of the naturalists that named them. INTRODUCTION Our education system just isn’t what it used to be. Classic languages such as Latin and Greek are no longer a part of standard curriculum. Unfortunately, this puts modern students of science at somewhat of a disadvantage compared to our predecessors when it comes to scientific names. In the insectarium world, Latin and Greek names are used for the arthropods that we display, but for most young entomologists, these words are just a challenge to pronounce and lack meaning. Working with arthropods, we all know that Entomology is the study of these animals. Sounding similar but totally different, Etymology is the study of the origin of words, and the history of word meaning.

  • Nansei Islands Biological Diversity Evaluation Project Report 1 Chapter 1
    Introduction WWF Japan’s involvement with the Nansei Islands can be traced back to a request in 1982 by Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh. The “World Conservation Strategy”, which was drafted at the time through a collaborative effort by the WWF’s network, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), posed the notion that the problems affecting environments were problems that had global implications. Furthermore, the findings presented offered information on precious environments extant throughout the globe and where they were distributed, thereby providing an impetus for people to think about issues relevant to humankind’s harmonious existence with the rest of nature. One of the precious natural environments for Japan given in the “World Conservation Strategy” was the Nansei Islands. The Duke of Edinburgh, who was the President of the WWF at the time (now President Emeritus), naturally sought to promote acts of conservation by those who could see them through most effectively, i.e. pertinent conservation parties in the area, a mandate which naturally fell on the shoulders of WWF Japan with regard to nature conservation activities concerning the Nansei Islands. This marked the beginning of the Nansei Islands initiative of WWF Japan, and ever since, WWF Japan has not only consistently performed globally-relevant environmental studies of particular areas within the Nansei Islands during the 1980’s and 1990’s, but has put pressure on the national and local governments to use the findings of those studies in public policy. Unfortunately, like many other places throughout the world, the deterioration of the natural environments in the Nansei Islands has yet to stop.

  • Phylogenetic Analysis of Geotrupidae (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea) Based on Larvae
    Systematic Entomology (2004) 29, 509–523 Phylogenetic analysis of Geotrupidae (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea) based on larvae JOSE´ R. VERDU´ 1 , EDUARDO GALANTE1 , JEAN-PIERRE LUMARET2 andFRANCISCO J. CABRERO-SAN˜ UDO3 1Centro Iberoamericano de la Biodiversidad (CIBIO), Universidad de Alicante, Spain; 2CEFE, UMR 5175, De´ partement Ecologie des Arthropodes, Universite´ Paul Vale´ ry, Montpellier, France; and 3Departamento Biodiversidad y Biologı´ a Evolutiva, Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (CSIC), Madrid, Spain Abstract. Thirty-eight characters derived from the larvae of Geotrupidae (Scarabaeoidea, Coleoptera) were analysed using parsimony and Bayesian infer- ence. Trees were rooted with two Trogidae species and one species of Pleocomidae as outgroups. The monophyly of Geotrupidae (including Bolboceratinae) is supported by four autapomorphies: abdominal segments 3–7 with two dorsal annulets, chaetoparia and acanthoparia of the epipharynx not prominent, glossa and hypopharynx fused and without sclerome, trochanter and femur without fossorial setae. Bolboceratinae showed notable differences with Pleocomidae, being more related to Geotrupinae than to other groups. Odonteus species (Bolboceratinae s.str.) appear to constitute the closest sister group to Geotrupi- nae. Polyphyly of Bolboceratinae is implied by the following apomorphic char- acters observed in the ‘Odonteus lineage’: anterior and posterior epitormae of epipharynx developed, tormae of epipharynx fused, oncyli of hypopharynx devel- oped, tarsal claws reduced or absent, plectrum and pars stridens of legs well developed and apex of antennal segment 2 with a unique sensorium. A ‘Bolbelas- mus lineage’ is supported by the autapomorphic presence of various sensoria on the apex of the antennal segment, and the subtriangular labrum (except Eucanthus). This group constituted by Bolbelasmus, Bolbocerosoma and Eucanthus is the first evidence for a close relationship among genera, but more characters should be analysed to test the support for the clade.

  • Consequences of Insect Flight Loss for Molecular Evolutionary Rates and Diversification
    Consequences of Insect Flight Loss for Molecular Evolutionary Rates and Diversification by T. Fatima Mitterboeck A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Integrative Biology Guelph, Ontario, Canada © T. Fatima Mitterboeck, May 2012 ABSTRACT CONSEQUENCES OF INSECT FLIGHT LOSS FOR MOLECULAR EVOLUTIONARY RATES AND DIVERSIFICATION T. Fatima Mitterboeck Advisor: University of Guelph, 2012 Dr. Sarah J. Adamowicz Advisory committee members: Dr. Teresa Crease Dr. Jinzhong Fu Dr. Ryan Gregory This thesis investigates the molecular evolutionary and macroevolutionary consequences of flight loss in insects. Chapter 2 tests the hypothesis that flightless groups have smaller effective population sizes than related flighted groups, expected to result in a consistent pattern of increased non-synonymous to synonymous ratios in flightless lineages due to the greater effect of genetic drift in smaller populations. Chapter 3 tests the hypothesis that reduced dispersal and species-level traits such as range size associated with flightlessness increase extinction rates, which over the long term will counteract increased speciation rates in flightless lineages, leading to lower net diversification. The wide-spread loss of flight in insects has led to increased molecular evolutionary rates and is associated with decreased long-term net diversification. I demonstrate that the fundamental trait of dispersal ability has shaped two forms of diversity—molecular and species—in the largest group of animals, and that microevolutionary and macroevolutionary patterns do not necessarily mirror each other.

The jaws of different species of stag beetles show a large variety of Concomitantly, species with high bite forces probably needed to shapes and sizes. The male jaws are used as weapons in fights, and evolve a more robust jaw morphology to enable them to take a firm they may exert a very forceful bite in some species. We investigated in grip on rivals and to avoid mechanical failure (Goyens et al., 2015a). 16 species whether and how the forcefulness of their bite is reflected In sexually dimorphic stag beetle species, males with larger jaws in their jaw morphology. We found a large range of maximal muscle have higher mating rates than males with smaller jaws (Harvey and forces (1.8–33 N; factor of 18). Species investing in large bite muscles Gange, 2006; Lagarde et al., 2005; Okada and Hasegawa, 2005; also have disproportionately large jaw volumes. They use this Okada and Miyatake, 2006; Shiokawa and Iwahashi, 2000). Owing additional jaw volume to elongate their jaws, increasing their to their longer jaws, they can reach further forward in aggressive chances of winning in battles. The fact that this also decreases the battles to grab their opponent and to detach him from the substrate mechanical advantage is largely compensated for by elongated in- (Goyens et al., 2015b).

The ecological impacts caused by IAS are very serious because they can increase population by themselves and can make irreversible change on the natural fauna once they become established in the new field. It is demanded all over the world in the Convention on Biological Diversity to control and eradicate the IAS in each country in order to conserve natural ecosystems. The Japanese Government enacted a new law “Invasive Alien Species Act” in 2005 for controlling the IAS ecological impacts. In this law all the alien species specified as invasive are restricted to be introduced, reared and released. So, it will be urgent matter to establish clear criteria and guideline for assessment of ecological risks caused by IAS. On the other hand, little attention has been paid, even in the new law, on the alien parasite invasion, which will cause most serious ecological damages2). Actually, only disease against human and domestic animals have been restricted in Japan though a lot of animals and plants are imported as pet animals and as biological agents together with many unknown micro organisms.
