Folk Taxonomy, Nomenclature, Medicinal and Other Uses, Folklore, and Nature Conservation Viktor Ulicsni1* , Ingvar Svanberg2 and Zsolt Molnár3
Ulicsni et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2016) 12:47 DOI 10.1186/s13002-016-0118-7 RESEARCH Open Access Folk knowledge of invertebrates in Central Europe - folk taxonomy, nomenclature, medicinal and other uses, folklore, and nature conservation Viktor Ulicsni1* , Ingvar Svanberg2 and Zsolt Molnár3 Abstract Background: There is scarce information about European folk knowledge of wild invertebrate fauna. We have documented such folk knowledge in three regions, in Romania, Slovakia and Croatia. We provide a list of folk taxa, and discuss folk biological classification and nomenclature, salient features, uses, related proverbs and sayings, and conservation. Methods: We collected data among Hungarian-speaking people practising small-scale, traditional agriculture. We studied “all” invertebrate species (species groups) potentially occurring in the vicinity of the settlements. We used photos, held semi-structured interviews, and conducted picture sorting. Results: We documented 208 invertebrate folk taxa. Many species were known which have, to our knowledge, no economic significance. 36 % of the species were known to at least half of the informants. Knowledge reliability was high, although informants were sometimes prone to exaggeration. 93 % of folk taxa had their own individual names, and 90 % of the taxa were embedded in the folk taxonomy. Twenty four species were of direct use to humans (4 medicinal, 5 consumed, 11 as bait, 2 as playthings). Completely new was the discovery that the honey stomachs of black-coloured carpenter bees (Xylocopa violacea, X. valga)were consumed. 30 taxa were associated with a proverb or used for weather forecasting, or predicting harvests. Conscious ideas about conserving invertebrates only occurred with a few taxa, but informants would generally refrain from harming firebugs (Pyrrhocoris apterus), field crickets (Gryllus campestris) and most butterflies. -
Pheromone Trap Catch of Harmful Microlepidoptera Species in Connection with the Chemical Air Pollutants
International Journal of Research in Environmental Science (IJRES) Volume 2, Issue 1, 2016, PP 1-10 ISSN 2454-9444 (Online) http://dx.doi.org/10.20431/2454-9444.0201001 www.arcjournals.org Pheromone Trap Catch of Harmful Microlepidoptera Species in Connection with the Chemical Air Pollutants L. Nowinszky1, J. Puskás1, G. Barczikay2 1University of West Hungary Savaria University centre, Szombathely, Károlyi Gáspár Square 4 2County Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén Agricultural Office of Plant Protection and Soil Conservation Directorate, Bodrogkisfalud, Vasút Street. 22 [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: In this study, seven species of Microlepidoptera pest pheromone trap collection presents the results of the everyday function of the chemical air pollutants (SO2, NO, NO2, NOx, CO, PM10, O3). Between 2004 and 2013 Csalomon type pheromone traps were operating in Bodrogkisfalud (48°10’N; 21°21E; Borsod-Abaúj- Zemplén County, Hungary, Europe). The data were processed of following species: Spotted Tentiform Leafminer (Phyllonorycter blancardella Fabricius, 1781), Hawthorn Red Midged Moth (Phyllonorycter corylifoliella Hübner, 1796), Peach Twig Borer (Anarsia lineatella Zeller, 1839), European Vine Moth (Lobesia botrana Denis et Schiffermüller, 1775), Plum Fruit Moth (Grapholita funebrana Treitschke, 1846), Oriental Fruit Moth (Grapholita molesta Busck, 1916) and Codling Moth (Cydia pomonella Linnaeus, 1758). The relation is linear, logarithmic and polynomial functions can be characterized. Keywords: Microlepidoptera, pests, pheromone traps, air pollution 1. INTRODUCTION Since the last century, air pollution has become a major environmental problem, mostly over large cities and industrial areas (Cassiani et al. 2013). It is natural that the air pollutant chemicals influence the life phenomena of insects, such as flight activity as well. -
Courtship Behavior in Choristoneura Rosaceana and Pandemis Pyrusana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
BEHAVIOR Courtship Behavior in Choristoneura rosaceana and Pandemis pyrusana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) 1 2 3 TOMISLAV CURKOVIC, JAY F. BRUNNER, AND PETER J. LANDOLT Ann. Entomol. Soc. Am. 99(3): 617Ð624 (2006) ABSTRACT The characterization of courtship behavior in two sympatric and synchronic leafroller species, Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris) and Pandemis pyrusana Kearfott, indicated that only pher- omone permeated airßow was needed as a releaser to initiate the male mating sequence. Mating ethograms demonstrate that males of both species perform six observable, discrete, and homogeneous steps: 1) wing fanning; 2) Þrst contact; 3) male next to female (mostly in C. rosaceana), head-to-head (only P. pyrusana); 4) curled abdomen; 5) genitalia engagement; and 6) end-to-end position (mating). The sequences were highly stereotypic, suggesting that once a male starts the mating sequence, the rest of the steps will most likely follow. First contact with the female was a preprogrammed response, not requiring further cues. Copulation was more likely when the female remained stationary after Þrst contact. Unsuccessful mating sequences were frequent during the study because females escaped by walking away, turning around, or jumping away. Because courtship behavior is a mechanism to select sexual partners, it is possible to hypothesize that responses resulting in an unsuccessful mating (assumed to be rejection) validate this mechanism. The mating sequence of C. rosaceana best matches the simple courtship behavior model, whereas the sequence in P. pyrusana resembles an interactive courtship. Overall results indicate that courtship behavior in both species would be compatible with attracticide (i.e., sex pheromone ϩ insecticide) technology that requires direct contact between males and the pheromone source. -
