Jordan Beans RA RMO Dir
Importation of Fresh Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), Shelled or in Pods, from Jordan into the Continental United States A Qualitative, Pathway-Initiated Risk Assessment February 14, 2011 Version 2 Agency Contact: Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laboratory Center for Plant Health Science and Technology United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Plant Protection and Quarantine 1730 Varsity Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh, NC 27606 Pest Risk Assessment for Beans from Jordan Executive Summary In this risk assessment we examined the risks associated with the importation of fresh beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), in pods (French, green, snap, and string beans) or shelled, from the Kingdom of Jordan into the continental United States. We developed a list of pests associated with beans (in any country) that occur in Jordan on any host based on scientific literature, previous commodity risk assessments, records of intercepted pests at ports-of-entry, and information from experts on bean production. This is a qualitative risk assessment, as we express estimates of risk in descriptive terms (High, Medium, and Low) rather than numerically in probabilities or frequencies. We identified seven quarantine pests likely to follow the pathway of introduction. We estimated Consequences of Introduction by assessing five elements that reflect the biology and ecology of the pests: climate-host interaction, host range, dispersal potential, economic impact, and environmental impact. We estimated Likelihood of Introduction values by considering both the quantity of the commodity imported annually and the potential for pest introduction and establishment. We summed the Consequences of Introduction and Likelihood of Introduction values to estimate overall Pest Risk Potentials, which describe risk in the absence of mitigation. -
Epigaeic Invertebrate Community Structure in Two Subtropical Nature Reserves, Eastern Cape, South Africa: Implications for Conservation Management
© Arachnologische Gesellschaft e.V. Frankfurt/Main; http://arages.de/ Arachnologische Mitteilungen / Arachnology Letters 52: 7-15 Karlsruhe, September 2016 Epigaeic invertebrate community structure in two subtropical nature reserves, Eastern Cape, South Africa: Implications for conservation management Augustine S. Niba & Inam Yekwayo doi: 10.5431/aramit5203 Abstract. Epigaeic invertebrates were sampled at non-invaded (‘Indigenous Forest’ and ‘Indigenous Grassland’) and alien-invaded (‘Eu- calyptus’ and ‘Mixed alien’) sub-sites in the Nduli and Luchaba Nature Reserves using pitfall traps. A total of 2054 specimens belonging to three phyla (Arthropoda, Mollusca and Annelida) was caught and sorted into seven orders, 18 families, one tribe, 45 genera (22 identified to species level) and 20 morphospecies. Higher species richness occurred in ‘Indigenous Forest’ and ‘Mixed Alien’ sub-sites while higher specimen counts were made in invaded (‘Mixed Alien’ and ‘Eucalyptus’) sub-sites during summer months, peaking in January. Canonical Correspondence Analysis results show that some measured site variables, e.g. litter depth, grazing intensity, percentage of alien vege- tation cover, and soil chemical properties accounted for invertebrate taxa composition and distribution trends at sub-sites. Although habitat-patch level characteristics (including abiotic factors) were important for determining species distributions, increased levels of infestation by invasive alien vegetation across sub-sites did not necessarily impact on epigaeic invertebrates -

COLEOPTERA II CÉTONIDES PAR -j* A. BOURGOIN (Moulignon, France) Distribué le 30 septembre 1933. Vol. IV, fasc. 9 (1). CÉTONIDES PAR f A. BOURGOIN (Moulignon, France) Qu'il me soit permis d'adresser ici mes remercîments à M. le Dr Yan Straelen pour la confiance qu'il m'a témoignée en me confiant l'étude des Cétonides recueillis par LL. AA. RR. le Prince Léopold et la Princesse A'strid de Belgique au cours de leur voyage aux Indes néerlandaises. J'ai énuméré les genres et les espèces dans l'ordre qui m'a semblé le plus logique, sans tenir compte des divisions en groupes et en tribus, car un même genre est souvent placé, selon les auteurs qui l'ont étudié, tantôt dans l'un, tantôt dans l'autre de ces groupes et tribus. Cette classification, basée parfois sur un caractère commun peu important, conduit à des groupements qui sont loin d'être naturels; un entomologue mettra les Clinteria parmi les Oxythyréides, un autre parmi les Gymnétides; tel auteur trouve que certains Elaphinis sont des Goliathides, un autre crée pour eux une section : les Elaphinides, dans laquelle il case les Trymodera et les Phonotaenia. On pourrait multiplier ces exemples qui prouvent que ces groupements n'ont qu'une importance très secondaire, mais peuvent induire en erreur en laissant supposer, entre certains genres, une affinité qui n'existe pas. J'ajoute à ce travail quelques remarques concernant des espèces affines, non récoltées par l'expédition belge. Seules celles rapportées par celle-ci sont numé¬ rotées. 4 f A.

Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Prismognathus Prossi (Coleoptera: Lucanidae) with Phylogenetic Implications
© Entomologica Fennica. 10 July 2019 Complete mitochondrial genome of Prismognathus prossi (Coleoptera: Lucanidae) with phylogenetic implications Jing Liu, Yuyan Cao, Shiju Zhou, Yongjing Chen & Xia Wan* Liu, J., Cao, Y.Y.,Zhou, S.J., Chen, Y.J. & Wan, X. 2019: Complete mitochondrial genome of Prismognathus prossi (Coleoptera: Lucanidae) with phylogenetic im- plications. — Entomol. Fennica 30: 90–96. https://doi.org/10.33338/ef.82927 The complete mitochondrial genome of a Chinese stag beetle, Prismognathus prossi, was generated using the Illumina next-generation sequencing. The mito- genome sequence is 15,984 bp in length, the nucleotide composition is A 36.6%, C 17.5%, T 34.3% and G 11.6% with the AT-content of 70.9%. The sequence has similar features with other reported insect mitogenomes, consisting of 13 protein- coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAgenes, two ribosomal RNAs and a control region. All of the protein-coding genes start with the typical ATN initiation codon except for COI. Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Bayesian Inference (BI) indi- cated that P. prossi share an affinity with Lucanus mazama, Lucanus fortunei and Cyclommatus vitalisi. J. Liu, Y.Y. Cao, S.J. Zhou, Y.J.
