Their potential was tested against the three economic insect pests, the great spruce bark beetle, Dendroctonus micans Kugelann (Coleoptera: Curculionidae); the pine processionary, Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Lepidoptera: Thaumetopoeidae); and the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (Linn.) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), to find an effective biological control agent. All isolated bacteria were cultured and identified using VITEK bacterial identification systems and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. ThebacteriawereidentifiedasEnterobacter cloacae complex (isolate 1M), Serratia marcescens (isolate 3M), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (isolate 4M), Kocuria kristinae (isolate 5M), and Serratia liquefaciens (isolate 8M). Laboratory experiments, carried out to evaluate the virulence of these isolates, showed that all isolated bacteria had a pathogenic effect on the tested pests. E. cloacae had 35, 56.7, and 84%; S. marcescens 50, 60.9, and 47.8%; P. aeruginosa 55, 69.6, and 48%; K. kristinae 40, 43.5, and 16%; and S. liquefaciens 45, 65.2, and 36% mortality rates on the larvae of D. micans, T. pityocampa,andL. dispar, respectively. The isolated bacteria can be considered in integrated pest control programs.

  • ANIMALS As DEFENDANTS - RATIONALE
    ANIMALS as DEFENDANTS - RATIONALE 0. ANIMALS as DEFENDANTS - RATIONALE - Story Preface 1. PEOPLE and ANIMALS in MEDIEVAL EUROPE 2. ANIMALS as DEFENDANTS - PIGS 3. ANIMALS as DEFENDANTS - RATS 4. ANIMALS as DEFENDANTS - RATIONALE This image depicts the frontispiece of The Criminal Prosecution and Capital Punishment of Animals, by E. P. (Edward Payson) Evans (1831-1917), published in London, during 1906, by W. Heinemann. In this work, Evans details the trials of numerous animal defendants througouth the centuries. Click on the image for a better view. At first glance, it seems that stories about these trials - in which animals were charged as defendants - are just folk tales. It is impossible to fathom how a prosecutor could prove "criminal intent" on the part of an animal defendant. How would a non-thinking being suddenly become a thinker, capable of forming criminal intent? On the other hand, a respected French jurist and criminal lawyer - who was called-upon to represent such "clients" - wrote about these types of cases in 1531. Bartholomew Chassenee discussed the type of legal analysis which applied during the centuries when the practice was used. How did the analysis typically work? If an animal killed someone, for example, people thought that Satan was acting through the animal. Why else would it destroy human life? Sometimes the guilty animals were even excommunicated by the Catholic Church. In addition to pigs and rats, other Medieval-era animals (and insects) charged with crimes included: Horse Flies, in 1121, at Mainz (formerly called Mayence) Cockchafers ("May Bugs" with white grubs), in 1320, at Avignon Locust (seized from a massive swarm, tried and executed), in 1866, at Pozega (in Slavonia) E.

  • Redheaded Pasture Cockchafer Adoryphorus Couloni
    Redheaded pasture cockchafer Adoryphorus couloni Description The adult stage is a stout, shiny black beetle about 15 mm long (Fig. 47). The ovoid eggs are 2–3 mm in length and pearly–white in colour. The grubs are soft–bodied and white with three pairs of yellowish legs, a hard, reddish brown head capsule and the posterior quarter of the body is a little swollen (Fig. 48). The head capsule appears rough or matte in contrast to the shiny Fig. 47 Adult beetle of redheaded pasture capsule of blackheaded pasture cockchafer. The body cockchafer wall is transparent. The white colouration of the grub derives from fatty tissue under the skin and the greyish appearance of the rear end results from soil in the gut. The posterior end of the grub is more opaque than in blackheaded pasture cockchafer (Fig. 44). When at rest the body is curved in the shape of a letter C. Grubs are sometimes called ‘curl grubs’ or ‘white grubs’. Newly hatched grubs are only 5 mm long but when mature, are robust and up to 30 mm in length. The grubs are less active when exposed than are blackheaded pasture cockchafer grubs, which retreat rapidly if placed on a spade. The pupa, about 15 mm long, is soft–bodied and pale yellow–brown in colour. Distribution Fig. 48 Grub of redheaded pasture cockchafer This pest is a native species. Before 1987 the redheaded pasture cockchafer occurred on King Island, but not Flinders Island, and across northern Tasmania as far south as Woodbury in the central Midlands.

  • Statecraft and Insect Oeconomies in the Global French Enlightenment (1670-1815)
    Statecraft and Insect Oeconomies in the Global French Enlightenment (1670-1815) Pierre-Etienne Stockland Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2017 Etienne Stockland All rights reserved ABSTRACT Statecraft and Insect Oeconomies in the Global French Enlightenment (1670-1815) Pierre-Etienne Stockland Naturalists, state administrators and farmers in France and its colonies developed a myriad set of techniques over the course of the long eighteenth century to manage the circulation of useful and harmful insects. The development of normative protocols for classifying, depicting and observing insects provided a set of common tools and techniques for identifying and tracking useful and harmful insects across great distances. Administrative techniques for containing the movement of harmful insects such as quarantine, grain processing and fumigation developed at the intersection of science and statecraft, through the collaborative efforts of diplomats, state administrators, naturalists and chemical practitioners. The introduction of insectivorous animals into French colonies besieged by harmful insects was envisioned as strategy for restoring providential balance within environments suffering from human-induced disequilibria. Naturalists, administrators, and agricultural improvers also collaborated in projects to maximize the production of useful substances secreted by insects, namely silk, dyes and medicines. A study of

  • Hedera Helix Information Guide
    New York City EcoFlora Hedera helix L. English Ivy Araliaceae (Aralia family) Description: Evergreen woody vine, young shoots and inflorescences covered with stellate hairs or peltate scales; juvenile stems creeping and forming extensive mats, the mature stems up to 25 centimeters diameter, climbing by abundant, adventitious roots with adhesive pads. Leaves simple, alternate, dimorphic, 4–10 cm long; juvenile leaves palmately lobed with 3 or 5 triangular lobes, glabrous, the base cordate, the apex acute or acuminate, the upper surface shining and dark green with whitened veins, sometimes tinged purple in winter, the lower surface pale green; mature leaves ovate or rhombic, entire, otherwise like juveniles. Flowers in axillary umbels; sepals 5, very short; petals 5, fleshy, green; stamens 5; ovary inferior. Fruit a drupe with 2–3 pyrennes, turning black at maturity. Where Found: Hedera helix is native to Europe from Ireland and Norway to the Caucasus. In New York City, the species is most abundant near home sites and gardens where there is a history of cultivation, especially in suburban areas. Natural History: In its native Europe, bees and other insects obtain nectar from the flowers and birds disperse the fruit. The adventitious climbing roots secrete an adhesive polymer composed of nanoparticles. Root hairs shrink and curl as they dry, pulling the stem closer to the surface. These forces enable the plant to climb very high and accumulate great mass. When a tree is so encumbered, its photosynthetic potential is diminished and the tree is vulnerable to breakage in wind and ice storms. The ground covering impedes absorption from rainfall and creates desert-like conditions dominated by one species.

  • Overcoming the Barriers to Green Walls in Urban Areas of the UK
    Overcoming the barriers to green walls in urban areas of the UK Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Engineering Technologies for Sustainable Built Environments Centre School of the Built Environment Faye Thomsit-Ireland September 2018 Declaration: I confirm that this is my own work and the use of all material from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged. Faye Thomsit-Ireland September 2018 i Abstract Green infrastructure is seen as a tool to mitigate a host of environmental challenges in urban areas. Vertical greening solutions such as direct greening are gaining popularity due to relatively low cost and the fact that they have a minimal ground footprint. There are still, however, a range of barriers to their uptake, including worries about potential wall damage (physically and via RH increase). This research had sponsors from multiple disciplines and as such covers a wide range of topics aimed at reducing barriers to installations of direct greening. The impact of several popular and widely-used plant species (Hedera helix (English ivy), Parthenocissus tricuspidata (Boston creeper), and Pileostegia viburnoides (climbing hydrangea)), on the internal/external temperature and relative humidity (RH) of replicated experimental model ‘buildings’ (three per plant species, plus bare buildings) was studied over two summers and winters. All the plant species reduced both the air temperature internally/externally during the summer daytimes by at least 1 oC (Hedera produced the greatest cooling effect internally and externally, 7.2 oC and 8.3 oC reduction, respectively). All plant species reduced the daily ‘variation’ (morning to afternoon) in external RH, and external and internal temperature during summer (Hedera reduced variation most and Pileostegia least).

  • Butterfly Conservation Event Can Be Seen by Clicking Here
    Upper Thames Branch Moth Sightings Archive - January to June 2007 On Friday 29th June Dave Wilton carried out his transect in Finemere Wood and in the evening ran his overnight moth trap in his Westcott garden: "Moths seen in Finemere Wood were Narrow-bordered Five-spot Burnet (3), Clouded Border (2), Marbled White Spot (1) and Silver Y (1). My garden Robinson trap produced my first reasonable catch for a week or two, with more than 400 moths from about 80 species ending up in the trap. Best of the bunch were Lappet and Scarce Silver-lines, with Scarce Footman, Clay, Smoky Wainscot, Olive, Pleuroptya ruralis/Mother of Pearl and Phycitodes binaevella also new for my garden year list. The following evening a Blackneck came to our kitchen window light." Phycitodes binaevella Scarce Silver-lines Blackneck Photo © Dave Wilton Photo © Dave Wilton Photo © Dave Wilton ~ Thursday 28th June 2007 ~ Dave Wilton sent this moth report on 27th June: "On 26th June I was foolish enough to run my actinic trap at Westcott even though the temperature fell to 8 degrees Celsius overnight. The result was a pitiful catch of 64 moths from 17 species. Compare that to the same day last year when I got 800 moths in the Robinson! The poor weather of the past few days seems to have had a drastic effect on catches all across the country although last night did produce one new species for me, the Short-cloaked Moth. Looking on the bright side, thanks to Peter Hall and his microscope I do now have a few additions to the UTB list from back in April: Dichrorampha acuminatana, Elachista canapennella, Dipleurina lacustrata, Eudonia truncicolella and Parornix anglicella were all trapped in my garden, Rhopobota stagnana (B&F 1161, formerly Griselda stagnana) was found in the disused railway cutting west of Westcott Airfield and Pammene argyrana was caught in Rushbeds Wood." Also, while doing a butterfly transect in Finemere Wood on 20th June, Dave kicked up a Crambus perlella from the grass.

  • The Moths of Dunnet Forest Caithness
    THE MOTHS OF CAITHNE SS THE MOTHS OF DUNNET F O R E S T CAITHNESS A REVIEW OF THE MOTH SPECIES RECORDED IN DUNNET FOREST CAITHNESS AS AT THE ST 31 DECEMBER 2018 N E I L M O N E Y COUNTY MOTH RECORDER CAITHNESS PURPOSE OF THIS REVIEW The development of Dunnet Forest from the original Forestry Commission experimental coniferous woodland to a community woodland managed by the community through the Dunnet Forestry Trust has reached a stage where changes in habitat are starting to drive change in the moth species being recorded in the forest. The purpose of this review is to detail moth species recorded up to 31st December 2018 to provide a base line against which future change can be monitored BACKGROUND The original forest was planted by the Forestry Commission in the mid-1950s as an experiment in forestry planting on poor soils. The forest was acquired by Scottish Natural Heritage in 1984 and is part of the Dunnet Links Site of Special Scientific Interest. Since 2003 the forest has been under the management of the Dunnet Forestry Trust (DFT) a community trust run by volunteers and employing two part time professional foresters. Covering 104 hectares the original coniferous planting was of a range of species but dominated by Sitka Spruce, Lodgepole Pine, Corsican Pine and Mountain Pine. About half of the area developed into mature forest with the remainder become a mixture of open space, scattered trees and scrub woodland.1 A CHANGING HABITAT DFT have been pro-active in the managing the forest both as a recreational resource for the community and in diversifying the habitat.
