P’REPACE. A PRACTICAL and detailed knowledge of Tsetse-flies is essential for the material progress of a large part of Africa. How large a part is affected by these formidable insect-pests may be estimated by a glance at the Map which appears in this “ Handbook.” In order to settle the grave questions which are connected with the transmission of certain insect-borne diseases, it is not sufficient to know that a giveu insect belongs to the genus * Glosaina-or, in other words, is a Tsetse-fly-but, as indicated by the author in his Introduction, it may be of vital importance to know with certainty the species to which it belongs. ‘I. The study of the Tsetse-flies was greatly advanced by the ,+ appearance of Mr. Austen’s Cc Monograph of the Tsetse-Flies,” c: which was published by order of the Trustees of the British ii Museum in 1903. That work has been out of print for some time, and moreover our knowledge of the genus Glossina has considerably increased, during the interval. The present “ Hand- book,” by the same author, is an attempt to bring the subject up to date ; and it is hoped that it has been drawn up in such a way that, in addition to being a reliable contribution to systematic literature, it will prove useful to medical officers and others engaged in the struggle with disease in Africa.

Insectivorous birds are abundant predators in many ecosystems yet because they forage upon small taxa, it remains largely unknown whether birds are providing ecosystem services in the form of pest control or disservices by preying upon predaceous arthropod species. We extracted DNA from noninvasive fecal samples of adult and nestling Western Bluebirds (Sialia mexicana) in California vineyards. Using universal arthropod-specific primers, we sequenced prey items via massively parallel sequencing on the Illumina MiSeq platform. Bluebirds consumed a broad diet comprising 66 unique arthropod species from 6 orders and 28 families. Aedes sp. (mosquitoes: Culicidae), a previously unknown prey, was the most common item recovered, occurring in 49.5% of the fecal samples. Ectoparasitic bird blowfly (Protocalliphora) DNA was found in 7% of adult and 11% of nestling samples, presenting clear evidence of active feeding by the avian hosts on adult or larval ectoparasites.

The following bibliography gives full references to 2,982 works cited in the catalog as well as additional ones cited within the bibliography. A concerted effort was made to examine as many of the cited references as possible in order to ensure accurate citation of authorship, date, title, and pagination. References are listed alphabetically by author and chronologically for multiple articles with the same authorship. In cases where more than one article was published by an author(s) in a particular year, a suffix letter follows the year (letters are listed alphabetically according to publication chronology). Authors' names: Names of authors are cited in the bibliography the same as they are in the text for proper association of literature citations with entries in the catalog. Because of the differing treatments of names, especially those containing articles such as "de," "del," "van," "Le," etc., these names are cross-indexed in the bibliography under the various ways in which they may be treated elsewhere. For Russian and other names in Cyrillic and other non-Latin character sets, we follow the spelling used by the authors themselves. Dates of publication: Dating of these works was obtained through various methods in order to obtain as accurate a date of publication as possible for purposes of priority in nomenclature. Dates found in the original works or by outside evidence are placed in brackets after the literature citation.

INTRODUCTION The meeting on ground larviciding was held at OCP/Ouagadougou on 22123 March 2001. Participants at the meeting included key technicians of the Programme involved in ground Iarviciding activities, representatives of hydrobiologists, the interim CPET and independent specialists (cf. List of participants in Annex 1 of this report). The objectives of this meeting, which was to ensure the application of recommendations made by EAC 21, were as follows: a) To discuss the efficacy of ground larviciding of blackflies in the post-OCP context; b) To address possible ecological problems relating to such activities; c) To ascertain progress made with respect to feasibility studies on ground treatment in target basins; d) To make concrete proposals for actions, which could re-state the protocols of on- going studies. Discussions centred mainly on the 5 river basins (tributaries of the Oti, Tinkisso, Niger, Mafou and Pru), on which transmission might not have been completely interrupted by 2OO2, but where larviciding will automatically cease due to the end of the Programme. 2. OPENING OF THE MEETING The Director of the Programme, Dr. Boakye A. Boatin, in his welcome address, called on participants to be open-minded during discussions, and to make relevant recommendations for the ground activities to be undertaken. Dr.

It costs livestock producers millions of dollars annually to reduce populations of these two pests. Control of stable flies and house flies based on chemical insecticides is only marginally effective and unsustainable in the long term due to the development of insecticide resistance. This has created a demand for alternative methods which are environmentally friendly and cost effective for the management of these pests. Information on stable fly and house fly oviposition behavior and the aggregation and segregation of their immatures may help in an integrated pest management control program for these pests. This research identified specific bacterial species from the surface of stable fly eggs which are suspected of releasing chemical cues used to induce gravid females to oviposit at sites where eggs have been deposited and inhibit additional deposition of eggs in the same habitat when it is already colonized. My research also showed that stable fly and house fly larvae tend to be aggregated in distribution, even in apparently homogenous habitats, and to be spatially segregated from each other.

However, seasonal variations promote gibbsite formation in the rainy seasonŽ. September and smectite development in the dry seasonŽ. May . The results show that lateritic profiles continue to develop even during very dry episodes. The rate of profile development, calculated as the difference between the chemical weathering rate at the base of the soil profile and mechanical erosion rate at the soil surface, is about 1.3 to 3.7 mrMyr. A comparison between 43 river basins of the world shows that, for similar runoff, the CO2 flux consumed by silicate weathering is about two times lower in lateritic areas than in nonlateritic zones.

    INBO 20_Mise en page 1 25/01/12 09:42 Page1 Newsletter 6 th World Water Forum: Come and sign ”the World Pact for better basin management”! th The 6 World Water Forum will take place in Marseilles from 12 to 17 March 2012 at the invitation of the French Government and the World Water Council. It is a major meeting not to be missed! The International Network of Basin Organizations - INBO calls its Members and Observers to get mobilized and come to Marseilles to present their solu- tions, to exchange and discuss in order to develop and improve basin manage- ment and transboundary cooperation in the world. Since the 1990s, management at the level of basins of rivers, lakes or aquifers has experienced a quick development in many countries, which made it the basis of their national legislation or tested it in pilot river basins. The European Water Framework Directive of 2000 imposes, for example, good management of the national or international River Basin Districts to the 27 Member States and the candidate Countries of the European Union. The management of the transboundary basins of the 276 rivers and hundreds of aquifers is taken more and more into account within Commissions, Authorities or International Basin Organizations, which are being created or strengthened on all the continents. Significant progress has been made: basin management works when there is strong willingness of all the stakeholders! The Forum of Marseilles will be the opportunity of reporting on these progresses and presenting our solutions to face the difficulties which remain and to sign ”the World Pact for better Basin Management”.
