Nevada Wier, a specialist in travel photography, will discuss how to combine technical, practical, and creative aspects of travel photography in order to get an image that elevates itself above the usual travel clichés. Nevada discusses ways to approach and creatively photograph people, cross- cultural considerations in foreign countries, using natural light, fill-flash, tips on equipment, and digital concerns in the field.

(Junonia coenia on Helianthus annuus) important ecological but threatened riparian landscapes (Provencher et al. 2005). Not only does the Warm Springs Natural Area encompass the majority of Muddy River tributaries it is also the largest single tract of land in the upper Muddy River set aside for the benefit of native species in perpetuity. The prominence of water in an otherwise barren Mojave landscape provides an oasis for regional wildlife. A high bird diversity is attributed to an abundance of riparian and floodplain trees and shrubs. Contributions to plant diversity come from the Mojave Old World swallowtail (Papilio machaon) Desertsnow (Linanthus demissus) Lobe-leaved Phacelia (Phacelia crenulata) Cryptantha (Cryptantha sp.) vegetation that occur on the toe slopes of the Arrow Canyon Range from the west and the plant species occupying the floodplain where they are supported by a high water table. Several marshes and wet meadows add to the diversity of plants and animals. The thermal springs and tributaries host an abundance of aquatic species, many of which are endemic. The WSNA provides a haven for the abundant wildlife that resides permanently or seasonally and provides a significant level of protection for imperiled species.

Pour m’avoir donné accès à un environnement de travail exceptionnel (les locaux dijonnais offrent un cadre idéal à la tenue de travaux de thèse) je tiens à remercier l’université de Bourgogne ainsi que Monsieur le directeur du laboratoire, le Professeur Pascal Neige. Cinq personnalités scientifiques m’ont fait l’honneur de faire partie de mon jury de thèse.

    Catálogo Taxonómico-Geográfico De Los Coleópteros De La Familia Meloidae De México

    Graellsia, 63(2): 165-258 (2007) CATÁLOGO TAXONÓMICO-GEOGRÁFICO DE LOS COLEÓPTEROS DE LA FAMILIA MELOIDAE DE MÉXICO M. García-París1, D. Buckley1,3 y G. Parra-Olea2 RESUMEN Se presenta un catálogo taxonómico de los representantes mexicanos de la familia Meloidae que incluye un listado revisado de sinonimias, localidades típicas y registros geográficos publicados de cada una de las especies. La fauna mexicana incluye en la actualidad 255 especies vivientes y una fósil, distribuidas en 21 géneros de las subfami- lias Meloinae, Nemognathinae y Tetraonycinae. En el último catálogo general, Black- welder (1945) recogió la presencia en México de 160 especies de esta familia, casi 100 especies menos de las que se conocen en la actualidad y sin embargo, la cifra actual pare- ce encontrarse aún lejos de la real, ya que existen muchas especies ampliamente distri- buidas al norte de la frontera con los Estados Unidos cuya presencia es muy probable en territorio mexicano. En cuanto a la taxonomía y nomenclatura de las especies, en este catálogo se propo- ne el uso de los nombres Epicauta dugesi Werner, 1957 y Tegrodera erosa extincta Beauregard, 1890; se incluyen tres sinonimias nuevas de Nemognatha chrysomeloides (Linnaeus, 1763) (N. atra Beauregard, 1890; N. pallidicollis Beauregard, 1890 y N. vio- lacea Beauregard, 1890) y otra de E. dugesi (Epicauta tamara Adams & Selander, 1979); se designa lectotipo para Lytta koltzei var. minor Haag-Rutenberg, 1880 con el propósito de solucionar el problema taxonómico generado tras la designación inválida de lectotipo de L. k. var. cyanescens; y finalmente se consideran como especies posible- mente a excluir del listado de Meloidae de México a Cissites maculata (Swederus, 1787) y Tetraonyx (Tetraonyx) bimaculatus (Klug, 1825).

Switzer,1,2 Kara Escajeda,1 and Kipp C. Kruse1 Accepted March 8, 2001; revised May 25, 2001 Size-related patterns between unpaired and paired individuals and between males and females of a given pair give clues about both a species’ sexual be- havior and the environmental factors affecting its sexual behavior. We studied the mating patterns of Japanese beetles (Popillia japonica) in east–central Illi- nois. The frequency of male–female pairs varied significantly among days and within a day, with pairs being significantly more common in the morning and the evening. The sex ratio on the food plants was significantly male biased, but although the sex ratio fluctuated among days and among time periods, the vari- ation in the frequency of mating pairs was not explained by variation in the sex ratio. We found no assortative pairing with respect to size, but sizes of paired and unpaired individuals did differ. Paired females were larger than unpaired females at all time periods. In contrast, paired males were larger at 0700 and smaller at 1000, and little difference existed at other times of the day. The size of males and females, sex ratio, and pairing frequency also differed among days.
