Printed by Euro Mail BV. 3 FROM THE DIRECTOR’S CHAIR It is with great pleasure that we share with you this special focus to provide updates on our highly successful EAZA issue on terrestrial invertebrates. I hope that upon reading Annual Conference, hosted by Wildlands Adventure it you will be as fascinated and inspired as I was by all the Zoo, Emmen. You can find the decisions made by EAZA wonderful conservation efforts and other activities that Council on page 5 and a summary of the conference on are taking place. Last year we had a Zooquaria special issue pages 12-13. As always, it was with immense pride that in reviewing 30 years of our EEP programmes and looking the opening plenary I had the opportunity to present on the ahead to future developments. By comparison, terrestrial past 12 months of EAZA activities. Every year it becomes invertebrate programmes are still relatively new within more and more difficult to keep to my allocated timeslot EAZA history however, as Axel Hochkirch, Chair of SSC as our achievements continue to expand. I’d like to take Invertebrate Conservation Sub-Committee, highlights in this opportunity to thank everyone involved in making his thought provoking article, about 1.4 million invertebrate these achievements possible. Without your knowledge, species have been described so far, with many more still experience, and ‘EAZA spirit’ we wouldn’t be the thriving, likely to be discovered. This means that invertebrate visionary association that we are today. programmes and conservation will play an ever-increasing part of our work going forwards. This work will be guided by the dedicated and passionate members of the Terrestrial Invertebrate Taxon Advisory Group (TITAG). The article on page 7 provides a great overview of recent work, collaborations, and ambitions of the TITAG. This is a TAG that is gaining momentum and looking to bring as many people as possible along with them. I am pleased to Myfanwy Griffith see that the TITAG is keen to be one of the first in line to Executive Director, EAZA undergo the new style Regional Collection Planning process due to roll out from 2018 (though not at all envious of the decisions they will need to make to help prioritise so many species!). I would like to give special thanks to the Chair, Mark Bushell, and members of the TITAG for helping contribute and coordinate the high-quality range of articles provided. What becomes clear upon reading this special issue is that there are numerous opportunities to get involved in terrestrial invertebrate conservation; from innovative communication ideas and exhibits, to learning husbandry techniques and devoting space in your collection to house one (or more!) of the programme species, to getting involved in collaborative reintroduction efforts. The recently published research showing a 75 percent decline in flying insects present in protected areas across Germany over the last 27 years is exceedingly worrying. Hallmann et al. (2017) attest that this decline is apparent regardless of habitat type, and cannot be explained by changes in weather or land use. Research into these declines is yet another way our community can be part of ensuring this valuable invertebrate biodiversity continues to underpin ecosystem functioning across our European landscape. What is abundantly clear is that whatever aspect of invertebrate conservation you choose you are likely to make a big difference to these small individuals in need; I Hallmann CA, Sorg M, Jongejans E, Siepel H, Hofland N, Schwan H, et al. (2017) wholeheartedly encourage you to become involved if you are More than 75 percent decline over 27 years in total flying insect biomass in not already. protected areas.

  • 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.

  • Project Description
    Chapter 1: Project Description A. INTRODUCTION The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH or the Museum) is seeking discretionary actions in connection with a proposed new building, the Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation (the Gilder Center). The Gilder Center would be an approximately 105-foot-tall (five stories above grade; taking into account mechanical and elevator bulkheads, a portion of the rooftop would reach 115 feet), approximately 203,000 gross-square-foot (gsf) addition located on the Columbus Avenue side of the Museum campus. Because the building would be integrated into the Museum complex, an additional approximately 42,000 gsf of existing space would be renovated to accommodate the program and make connections into the new building, for a total of approximately 245,000 gsf of new construction and renovation. Alterations also would be made to adjacent portions of Theodore Roosevelt Park. The Gilder Center, together with these other alterations, is the project proposed to be implemented by the Museum. Approximately 80 percent of the square footage of the project would be located within the area currently occupied by the Museum. Three existing buildings within the Museum complex would be removed to minimize the footprint on land that is now open space in Theodore Roosevelt Park, to about 11,600 square feet (approximately a quarter acre). The Museum is located on the superblock bounded by West 81st Street, West 77th Street, Central Park West, and Columbus Avenue, in the Upper West Side neighborhood of Manhattan (Block 1130, Lot 1). The Museum is located in Theodore Roosevelt Park, which is City-owned parkland under the jurisdiction of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks).

The list was created between 1995 and 1999, and subsequently updated in response to the Species and Habitats Review Report published in 2007. The table also provides details of the species' occurrences in the four UK countries, and describes whether the species was an 'original' species (on the original list created between 1995 and 1999), or was added following the 2007 review. All original species were provided with Species Action Plans (SAPs), species statements, or are included within grouped plans or statements, whereas there are no published plans for the species added in 2007.
