Checklist of the Millipeds of North and Middle America 3
Introduction Wenn sich die Weisen nicht zuweilen verirteten, so m ssten alle Narren versagen. .Johann Wolfgang von Goethe I may freely, without shame, leave some obscurities to happier industry, or future information. .Samuel Johnson Checklists and catalogues are regarded with disdain by some biologists who consider them mere hackwork, compiled from literature and devoid of phylogenetic insights. Systematists who are actually involved in transferring knowledge about the characteristics, relationships, and distribution of poorly-known organisms from the alpha to gamma level (thus making it accessible to theoreticians) tend to be more generous. There are no references more fundamental than comprehensive summaries of current knowledge, and the efforts of assembling and organizing information from a vast polyglot literature into a compact and manageable form are highly appreciated by subsequent users. A checklist or catalog is often the catalyst that initiates or stimulates active interest in some neglected taxon, and whether one concurs with the details of presentation is immaterial so long as all the facts are available. It is often overlooked that the basic purpose of such compendia is to facilitate their own obsolescence. An increasing interest in tropical biotas during the past several decades allows a guarded hope that the importance of millipeds in such ecosystems will be recognized and investigated. Although three annotated checklists have been published (West Indies: Chamberlin, 1918; North America: Chamberlin & Hoffman, 1958, and Middle America: Loomis, 1968 respectively), they are now obsolete and inadequate. As the faunas of these regions are now amenable to a revised treatment, this occasion is taken to provide a comprehensive, updated, summary of the diplopod fauna of the entire area north of the South American mainland. -
An Investigation Into the Death of Native Virgilia Trees in the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa
AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE DEATH OF NATIVE VIRGILIA TREES IN THE CAPE FLORISTIC REGION OF SOUTH AFRICA NETSAI MARGARETH MACHINGAMBI Thesis presented in the partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Faculty of Science (Department of Botany and Zoology) at the University of Stellenbosch Promoters: Dr. Francois Roets, Prof. Léanne L. Dreyer and Prof. Jolanda Roux March 2013 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own original work, that I am the authorship owner thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Signature: Date: 8 February 2013 Copyright © 2013 Stellenbosch University of Stellenbosch All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT The Cape Floristic Region (CFR) of South Africa is well-recognised for exceptionally high plant species diversity and endemism. However, little attention has been bestowed on the pests and pathogens in this region, even though these may greatly influence plant distribution and evolution. In this study we identify various arthropods and fungi as pests and disease- causing organisms of the ecologically and economically important CFR-endemic tree taxa of Virgilia. We isolated, identified and determined the pathogenicity of key fungal taxa from diseased Virgilia trees throughout the CFR. In addition we evaluated the role of possible pest arthropod taxa, including bark beetles, phoretic mites, larvae of a cerambycid beetle and larvae of the endemic Leto venus (ghost moth), in the death of Virgilia trees. -
