And a museum. Shattered columns, fractured statues and fragmentary artifacts tell us so. Not much to go on. But what’s this? “We’ve discovered another!” we cheer. Eagerly we unseal it, confident that marvelous treasures await. Securely nestled inside. Butterflies. Brilliantly beautiful. Fearfully fragile. And wholly intact. Imagine! We know little of the culture that produced this safe-guarding wonder. But we know the maker’s name: Delta Designs. If only everyone had used these ...

The Florida Museum of Natural History is honored to be your host for this year’s 30th SPNHC Annual Meeting and Gala Celebration. This year’s conference theme, Making Natural History Collections Accessible through New and Innovative Approaches and Partnerships, links the collections at the heart of our institutions to the demands and uses these collections are addressing in the 21st century. This year’s conference program highlights the novel and innovative ways that we are all using to make our collections more accessible in this new century of fast-paced technological advances, despite (or sometimes because of) the challenges of limited funds and resources. The conference opens with a stimulating plenary session, Collections in the 21st Century, sponsored by NSC Alliance, NIBA Research Coordination Network and iDigBio. It closes with a workshop that I am sure will be useful to many conference attendees,Getting Started and Maintaining Herbarium Collections Data in a Symbiota Driven Web Portal. In between, we have a dynamic program of general and themed sessions, symposia and posters, fun-filled social events and a few surprises planned for you, including the 30th Anniversary Gala Celebration banquet. It takes a village to put together a successful conference. SPNHC 2015 would not be possible without the generous financial support of our sponsors and vendors, and grants from Visit Gainesville -the Alachua County Tourist Development Council and the University of Florida Office of the Vice President for Research. I extend a huge, heartfelt thank you to Doug Jones, FLMNH Director, Beverly Sensbach, FLMNH Associate Director, members of the Local Organizing Committee, the SPNHC Council and committee chairs, the staff of the UF Distance & Continuing Education Conference Department, and our volunteers (who come from the Museum, UF, and the Gainesville community) for all of their hard work and support. My sincere thanks and gratitude for service above and beyond the call of duty go to Laura Boekenoogen, our UF Conference Department conference planner. Elise V.

    Beitr. Ent. Keltern ISSN 0005 - 805X 51 (2001) 1 S. 161 - 213 14.09.2001 Contribution to the Lepidoptera fauna of the Madeira Islands Part 2. Tineidae, Acrolepiidae, Epermeniidae With 127 figures Reinhard Gaedike and Ole Karsholt Summary A review of three families Tineidae, Epermeniidae and Acrolepiidae in the Madeira Islands is given. Three new species: Monopis henderickxi sp. n. (Tineidae), Acrolepiopsis mauli sp. n. and A. infundibulosa sp. n. (Acrolepiidae) are described, and two new combinations in the Tineidae: Ceratobia oxymora (MEYRICK) comb. n. and Monopis barbarosi (KOÇAK) comb. n. are listed. Trichophaga robinsoni nom. n. is proposed as a replacement name for the preoccupied T. abrkptella (WOLLASTON, 1858). The first record from Madeira of the family Acrolepiidae (with Acrolepiopsis vesperella (ZELLER) and the two above mentioned new species) is presented, and three species of Tineidae: Stenoptinea yaneimarmorella (MILLIÈRE), Ceratobia oxymora (MEY­ RICK) and Trichophaga tapetgella (LINNAEUS) are reported as new to the fauna of Madeira. The Madeiran records given for Tsychoidesfilicivora (MEYRICK) are the first records of this species outside the British Isles. Tineapellionella LINNAEUS, Monopis laevigella (DENIS & SCHIFFERMULLER) and M. imella (HÜBNER) are dele­ ted from the list of Lepidoptera found in Madeira. All species and their genitalia are figured, and informa­ tion on bionomy is presented.

  • True Clothes Moths (Tinea Pellionella, Et Al.)

    True Clothes Moths (Tinea Pellionella, Et Al.)

    Circular No. 36, Second Series. United States Department of Agriculture, DIVISION OF ENTOMOLOGY. THE TRUE CLOTHES MOTHS. {Tinea pellionella et al. ) The destructive work of the larvae of the small moths commonly known as clothes moths, and also as carpet moths, fur moths, etc., in woolen fabrics, fur, and similar material during the warm months of summer in the North, and in the South at any season, is an alto- gether too common experience. The preference they so often show for woolen or fur garments gives these insects a much more general interest than is perhaps true of any other household pest. The little yellowish or buff-colored moths sometimes seen flitting about rooms, attracted to lamps at night, or dislodged from infested garments or portieres, are themselves harmless enough, and in fact their mouth-parts are rudimentary, and no food whatever is taken in the winged state. The destruction occasioned by these pests is, therefore, limited entirely to the feeding or larval stage. The killing of the moths by the aggrieved housekeeper, while usually based on the wrong inference that they are actually engaged in eating her woolens, is, nevertheless, a most valuable proceeding, because it checks in so much the multiplication of the species, which is the sole duty of the adult insect. The clothes moths all belong to the group of minute Lepidoptera known as Tineina, the old Latin name for cloth worms of all sorts, and are characterized by very narrow wings fringed with long hairs. The common species of clothes moths have been associated with man from the earliest times and are thoroughly cosmopolitan.

Experiments were conducted with low oxygen (O2) achieved with low pressure under a vacuum, high carbon dioxide (CO2), and ozone (O3). Results showed that both low O2 and high CO2 levels required exposures up to 144 h to kill 100% of all stages of red-legged ham beetle, Necrobia rufipes (De Geer) (Coleoptera: Cleridae) and ham mite Tyrophagus putrescentiae ◦ (Schrank) (Sarcoptiformes: Acaridae) at 23 C. In addition, both low O2 and high CO2 had no significant mortality against the ham beetle and ham mites at short exposures ranging from 12 to 48 h. Ham beetles were more tolerant than ham mites to an atmosphere of 75.1% CO2 and low pressure of 25 mm Hg, which imposed an atmosphere estimated at 0.9% O2.

    The Rise of Network Ecology: Maps of the Topic Diversity and Scientific Collaboration

    The Rise of Network Ecology: Maps of the topic diversity and scientific collaboration Stuart R. Borrett *,a,c, James Moody b,c, Achim Edelmann b,c a Department of Biology b Department of Sociology c Duke Network Analysis and Marine Biology Duke University Center University of North Durham, NC 27708 Social Science Research Carolina Wilmington Institute Wilmington, NC 28403 Duke University Durham, NC 27708 * Corresponding Author, [email protected], 910-962-2411 Abstract Network ecologists investigate the structure, function, and evolution of ecological systems using network models and analyses. For example, network techniques have been used to study community interactions (i.e., food-webs, mutualisms), gene flow across landscapes, and the sociality of individuals in populations. The work presented here uses a bibliographic and network approach to (1) document the rise of Network Ecology, (2) identify the diversity of topics addressed in the field, and (3) map the structure of scientific collaboration among contributing scientists. Our aim is to provide a broad overview of this emergent field that highlights its diversity and to provide a foundation for future advances. To do this, we searched the ISI Web of Science database for ecology publications between 1900 and 2012 using the search terms for research areas of Environmental Sciences & Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and the topic tag ecology. From these records we identified the Network Ecology publications using the topic terms network, graph theory, and web while controlling for the usage of misleading phrases. The resulting corpus entailed 29,513 publications between 1936 and 2012. We find that Network Ecology spans across more than 1,500 sources with core ecological journals being among the top 20 most frequent outlets.
