Wood ([email protected]) Abstract. The Glastir Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (GMEP) ran from 2013 until 2016, and was probably the most comprehensive programme of ecological study ever undertaken at a national scale in Wales. The programme aimed to (1) set 20 up an evaluation of the environmental effects of the Glastir agri-environment scheme and (2) quantify environmental status and trends across the wider countryside of Wales. The focus was on outcomes for climate change mitigation, biodiversity, soil and water quality, woodland expansion and cultural landscapes. As such, GMEP included a large field survey component, collecting data on a range of elements including vegetation, land cover and use, soils, freshwaters, birds and insect pollinators from up to 300 1 km squares throughout Wales.

  • Relating the Structure of Insect Silk Proteins to Function
    Relating the structure of insect silk proteins to function Andrew A. Walker April 2013 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Australian National University For Lucy Declaration This thesis represents my own original research work, and has not been submitted previously for a degree at any university. To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference is made. One of the realities of doing research in a modern laboratory is the necessity of working closely with other members of a research team and external collaborators. For this reason some of the experimental results presented in this document were obtained by people other than myself. They are presented here to maintain a coherent narrative. A comprehensive list of these instances follows: liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry results in chapters 3, 4 and 6, and some of those in chapter 5, were obtained by Sarah Weisman; all Raman scattering spectra were obtained by Jeffrey S. Church; in chapters 4 and 6, I make use of a cDNA library constructed by Holly Trueman; all nuclear magnetic resonance spectra were obtained by Tsunenori Kameda; all amino acid analyses are results obtained by a commercial service at the Australian Proteome Analysis Facility. Andrew Walker April, 2013 Canberra, Australia Acknowledgements I would first like to thank my principal supervisor Tara Sutherland, who is the sort of person who can look at a lawn and see all the four-leaf clovers. She has taught me much about protein science but more about good management, good writing, happy workplaces, and how to publish.

  • FAMILY GROUP NAMES and CLASSIFICATION Superfamily
    FAMILY GROUP NAMES AND CLASSIFICATION as of 15 July 2014 compiled by Wojciech J. Pulawski California Academy of Sciences, 55 Music Concourse Drive, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, CA 94118, USA phone: (415) 379-5313; fax: (415) 379-5715; e-mail: [email protected] The family and tribe level classification used below follows the findings of Brothers (1999), Melo (1999), and Prentice (1998, unpublished Ph.D. thesis, validated by Hanson and Menke, 2006). Their systems differ at the tribal level, and that of Prentice is accepted here as it is based on a much larger data set, but his one new tribe and one new subtribe are not included since they were not published. The classification of Ampulicidae is as proposed by Ohl and Spahn, 2009, the classification of Bembicinae follows Nemkov and Lelej, 2013, and the authorship of Palarini and Xenosphecini is as corrected by Menke and Pulawski (2002). Because Astatinae and Dinetinae each have a single tribe I am not using them in this catalog. The names, authorship, dates, stems, and other pertinent information, are from Menke (1997), who was advised by Don Cameron, a Latin and Greek scholar at the University of Michigan, about the proper formation of names. All genera described subsequent to Bohart and Menke (1976) have been added (both extant and fossil), and recently established synonymies are also indicated. Menke (1997) commented that “Ammophilomorpha, Sphecinomorpha, and Palmodomorpha could be construed as valid [correctly: available] since they are based on generic names with -morpha endings”. Article 11.7.1.3 of the Code (Fourth Edition) leaves no doubt that these names are available, with their original authorship and date, but with a correct suffix (as specified in Article 29.2).
