The Ezemvelo Thesis THE DIVERSITY AND ECOLOGICAL IMPACTS OF BUPRESTID AND CERAMBYCID BEETLES ON EZEMVELO NATURE RESERVE, GAUTENG PROVINCE by DUNCAN NEIL MACFADYEN Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree MAGISTER TECHNOLOGIAE: NATURE CONSERVATION Department of Nature Conservation TSHWANE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY Supervisor: Prof. B.K. Reilly Co Supervisor: Dr C.L. Bellamy February 2005 DECLARATION The compilation of this thesis and the work reported on is the result of the author’s original work, unless specifically acknowledged, or stated to the contrary, in the text. _________________________ 2 D.N. MacFadyen September 2004 ABSTRACT Understanding the extent and cause of insect diversity on a nature reserve is often seen as a challenge to reserve management. Recent calculations that there may be more than 20 million species of insects on earth have focused attention on their magnitude and stimulated several new lines of research (although the true figure is now widely thought to be between five and ten million species). This study discusses work based on light trapping, beating and sweeping surveys, plant association, seasonal change and community dynamics of Cerambycidae and Buprestidae, families of the Order Coleoptera. It is argued that progress in estimating insect diversity in understanding insect community dynamics will be enhanced by building local inventories of species diversity, and in descriptive and experimental studies of the structure of communities. As can be seen from their diaries and notebooks, contemplation of how such wonderful abundance and variety might arise was instrumental in pointing Darwin and especially Wallace to the theory of natural selection (Godfray et al. 1999). This study was undertaken to investigate the community structure of two families of wood-boring beetles, providing a more systematic and quantitative approach to cataloguing insect diversity in a protected area context. 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the following persons and organisations for their input to this study: The Tshwane University of Technology and E Oppenheimer & Son for financial assistance. Morgan Hauptfleish (reserve manager) for providing background information regarding the management practices of Ezemvelo Nature Reserve. He is also thanked for logistical support. Dr C.L.

Protein, fat, ash and mineral content were determined for the preprocessed, well prepared and spoiled bugs. The proximate composition and minerals of the insects were determined using standard methods. One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used in analyzing data. They were found to contain 30-36% protein; 51-53% fat and 1-1.5% ash respectively. Spoiled bugs contained the lowest protein content of 30.76±0.98% and highest amount of magnesium of 120±2.2 mg/100g while the preprocessed and well processed contained 110±2.5 mg/100g and 112±2.4 mg/100g respectively. Phosphorous was the most abundant in all forms with a value of 570-575 mg/100g. Calcium levels for all the three forms showed an overall mean of 85-89 mg/100g.

Abstract This study investigated the consumption of ed ible insects in Nxaraga, Sehithwa and Shorobe villages of the North West district of Botswana. Information was gathered using a structured questionnaire which was administered to 60 respondents across the three villages and also through direct observation. A total of six insect species were identified belonging to six families and four orders (i.e., Coleoptera, Isoptera, Lepidoptera and Orthoptera) with t he two most consumed orders being Lepidoptera and Coleoptera. Carebara vidua F. Smith (33.3%) was the most consumed followed by Sternocera orissa Buq. (21.7%), Agrius convolvuli L. (15.0%), Oryctes boas Fabr.(13.3%), Imbrasia belina Westwood (10.0%) and Lo custa migratoria (6.7%). The study revealed that insects were abundant during and/or immediately after the rainy season. This implies that insects can be harvested and preserved during the time of abundan ce to maximize their utilization in meeting the human protein needs. The common methods of collecting insects were hand picking, trapping and digging. Insects were prepared for consumption by boiling, frying or roasting.

  • Ole Opt Era: Buprestidae)
    J. ent. Soc. sth. Afr. 1979 Vol. p, No. I, pp. 89-114 Revision of the genera of the tribe Julodini ole opt era: Buprestidae) E. HOLM Department of Entomology, University of Pretoria, Pretoria The validity of the six genera in the tribe is confirmed and one new subgenus, Protojulodis, is described. Generic characters are reviewed, and the relevant external morphology is illustrated. Distribution maps of the genera and a phylogram and key are provided. The zoogeography of the tribe is described and interpreted and a possible phylogeny is suggested. INTRODUCTION The problem of the relative age of the tribe Julodini and its genera is a traditional one for buprestologists, as the tribe has some primitive but also some highly specialized features as compared with other tribes in the family. The generic units are ill-defined and often include remnant species with hardly any variation near to highly variable species that are obviously in a state of flux. Probably on account of the contrast in biology between this tribe and the rest of the family, adult synapomorphic characters of the tribe are distinct, though they changed little along its lineages. In the Julodini neither dults nor larvae occur in wood: all known larvae are free-living root-feeders, while adults are apparently short-lived leaf- and flower-feeders. In this paper I have assembled existing information on the morphology and distribution of the tribe and tried to find more characters that help to clarify the phylogeny (sensu Mayr) and aid in interpreting the distribution of the group. Of the characters previously overlooked, the most useful proved to be the ovipositor, hind wing venation and metacoxal sculpture.

  • An Assessment of the Potential of Edible Insect Consumption In
    An assessment of the potential of edible insect consumption in reducing human nutritional deficiencies in South Africa while considering food and nutrition security aspects. by Anja Lategan Research assignment presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Food and Nutrition Security In the Department of Food Science, Faculty of AgriSciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. G.O. Sigge Co-supervisor: Ms. M. L. Marais April 2019 Stellenbosch University https://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 sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Anja Lategan Date Copyright © 2019 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Between 2012 and 2014, more than 2 000 new cases of severe malnutrition in South Africa have been reported. Staple food products are viewed as having insufficient micronutrient contents and limiting amino acids (lysine, tryptophan and threonine). Therefore, in following a monotonous diet of maize and wheat products, the risk of micronutrient deficiencies increases. Even after mandatory fortification of staple food products in South Africa in 2003, high levels of micronutrient deficiencies still exist. In this research assignment, the potential of edible insects frequently consumed in South Africa, in ameliorating South Africa’s most prevalent nutrient deficiencies (iron, zinc, folate, vitamin A and iodine) was assessed.

Coleóptera, Cerambycidae, Togo. Einleitung Vor wenigen Jahren haben wir in einer ersten Mitteilung über 56 Arten von Bock- käfern aus Togo berichtet (Adlbauer & Mourglia 1995). In diesem zweiten Teil wird die UF Lamiinae behandelt, die generell in den wärmeren Ländern den Hauptteil der Cerambycidenfauna stellt. Das Verhältnis Lamiinae/ restliche Cerambycidae verlagert sich um so mehr zugunsten der Lamiinae, je näher sich der jeweilige Lebensraum am Äquator befindet. Die Bestimmung der Arten erfolgte — wenn nicht anders vermerkt — durch die Autoren, in deren Sammlungen sich die gemeldeten Exemplare befinden. Die nachgewiesenen Arten Abkürzungen: KFA = K. u. F.
