They are a constant source of reference to scholars, staff members, and others con- cerned with specific phases of the institution's growth. One cannot read these reports without experiencing a deep sense of pride in the vision, the courage, the dedication to educational and public service, and the sacrificial effort which have gone into the building of the University. The printed word has not always been adequate to interpret the spirit of the institution. The joys accompanying each successful effort to push back the barriers of ignorance, whether by research, the inculcation of knowledge, or by precept and example, as well as the tragic disappointments and frustrations of those who attempted to carry the University forward from year to year are not easily described. In reading biennial reports since the transferral of the University to Gaines- ville in 1906, it is obvious that the positive factors far outweigh the negative, and the forces of progress, though lagging at times, have eventually overcome the retarding forces. When the Board of Control and the Board of Education honored me by their invitation to accept the presidency of the University of Florida in the Spring of 1955, I knew the magnitude of responsibility involved, for I had had the privilege of serving as a teacher and administrator, respectively, under two distinguished men who had held that high office. One cannot be associated with an institution such as the University of Florida for two decades without having its interests and welfare imbedded deep in his thoughts and affections. Consequently, I ac- cepted the challenging offer and entered upon my new duties April 1, 1955, with the determination that I would to the very best of my abilities endeavor to carry forward the work of the University in the fine tradition set by my predecessors. The two year record covered by the biennial report for the period July 1, 1954 to June 30, 1956, like many preceding reports, shows high peaks of achievement as well as disappointments. Some discouragements are perhaps inevitable. They sap the vitality and effectiveness of the total University program. It is our sin- cere hope that contributing causes will be remedied in the new biennium. For their patience, understanding and cooperation during the period of my orientation in the presidency, I wish to express thanks to a splendid faculty and staff, to a fine student body, and to those dedicated public servants who serve so loyally and w^ithout compensation as members of our State Board of Control. My deepest appreciation is also extended to Governor LeRoy Collins and other members of the Board of Education for their untiring efforts in helping to solve some of the University's pressing problems. To members of the legislature and the people of Florida, we extend grateful thanks for our financial support even though it is below the needs of the institution for meeting the demands of a growing and dynamic state. Lastly, I should like to express my deepest gratitude to John S. Allen, Vice President of the University and my able colleague, who bore the responsibilities of administration so effectively not only during the first nine months of the biennium under review, but for several months prior thereto. BIENNIAL REPORT The operations of the University are so vast that it is no longer possible to integrate the college, school, and departmental reports into an acceptable resume vv^ithin the brief space allotted for the President's report. The individual reports Vi^ill have to be examined separately for details of the biennial activities. They are all worth reading. A selection will be made of certain units or portions of departmental reports for the purpose of focusing attention upon some specific problem, which in many instances will be applicable to the whole institutional structure. A proper perspective of the last two years must inevitably take into considei-a- tion some factors which not only cast their shadow over world events i.e., national and international affairs, but also over that closer area just beyond the confines of our academic community, namely the State of Florida, whose interests and people the University is designed to serve. Some of these factors likewise have a bearing or will have a bearing upon the new biennium which we are about to enter. I beg indulgence, therefore, to touch as briefly as I can upon some of them. We are in a period of global unrest. Possibly at no time in history has the world witnessed a greater political, economic, social and moral upheavel, es- pecially in "peace-time." Education at home and abroad cannot escape the impact of the dynamic changes that are taking place. In the past, new educational concepts evolved to meet the demands of the times. For instance, church oriented and dominated colleges were formed in colonial days to provide an educated citizenship for Colonial America, all pat- terned after institutions in Western Europe. Later state supported universities evolved from many of the colonial colleges when the latter were no longer able to meet the demands of a new, dynamic society. The new institutions, however, re- tained much of the old, especially the liberal arts programs and other features of the colonial colleges. The land grant colleges were formed at a time when the nation needed to democratize its educational opportunities for the benefit of an expanding popula- tion, increasingly dependent upon agriculture and industry for a livelihood. The land grant movement, begun with the passage of the Morrill Act in 1862, formed a new and revolutionary concept in higher education, according to Thwing, who wrote of it: "The time was favorable to—enrichment and enlargement—it was a period of newness—mighty anticipations of mighty powers were filling the hearts and minds of men." Edward D. Eddy, Jr., of the University of New Hampshire, recently pointed out in an address before the Land Grant College Association that "probably no other country in the world would have produced these land-grant colleges," and citing them as "Democracy's colleges," he calls attention to the fact that "they have become a pattern for higher education in many struggling republics at- tempting to find and assert themselves. What was once a great contribution to America is now becoming an even greater contribution to the world." Apropos of the land grant type of institution adjusting to change, he says: "America demands of its public colleges the ability, even the desire, to adapt themselves continually to a changing time to keep just a little ahead of society." All of us recall that just a little over a decade ago the so-called "Atomic Age" was born, bringing with it on the one hand the possibility of world annihilation and the destruction of mankind, or on the other, the possibility of a great new era in human progress.

Seven restriction enzymes were selected for evaluation based on restriction sites inferred from the nucleotide sequence of a South Carolina Belonolaimus isolate. Amplified product size from individuals of each isolate was approximately 700 bp. All Midwestern isolates gave distinct restriction digestion patterns. Isolates identified morphologically as Belonolaimus longicaudatus from Florida, South Carolina, and Palm Springs, California, were identical for ITS1 restriction patterns.

  • Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae)
    BOLETIN DEL MUSEO ENTOMOLÓGICO FRANCISCO LUÍS GALLEGO ARTÍCULO ORIGINAL CLASSIFICATION OF HARPACTORINAE, ASSASSIN BUGS (HEMIPTERA: HETEROPTERA: REDUVIIDAE) Dimitri Forero, Ph.D. Heteropteran Systematics Laboratory, Department of Entomology, University of California Riverside, Riverside, CA 92521, USA. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A brief synopsis on the classification of the Harpactorinae is presented. The two tribes found in the Neotropical region are discussed and future directions for research are highlighted. Introduction Reduviidae, or assassin bugs, have more than 6.000 described species, and is one of the three most speciose families of Hemiptera (Forero 2008), and the second largest of Heteroptera, exhibiting a range of life histories (Schuh and Slater 1995, Weirauch and Schuh 2011). Species in this family are mostly predatory, although species of Triatominae are hematophagous, in which some are important vectors of Chagas disease in Latin America (Lent & Wygodzinsky 1979). Although generally polyphagous, some of the predatory groups show affinities for particular prey, such as ants in Holoptilinae (Jacobson 1911, Miller 1953, Poinar 1991), termites in Salyavata (Salyavatinae) (McMahan 1982, 1983), or millipedes in Ectrichodiinae (Miller 1953, Carpintero and Maldonado 1996). The morphological diversity exhibited by Reduviidae is also reflected in the number of subfamilies so far proposed, which ranges from 21 to 32 (Maldonado 1990, Putshkov and Putshkov 1985). Recent phylogenetic analysis of the family might help to clarify and stabilize several of the classification issues (Weirauch 2008). 9 Volumen 3 • Número 1 Marzo • 2011 Of all Reduviidae subfamilies, Classification of Harpactorinae Harpactorinae is by far the largest in terms of numbers of species described, Given its large size, it is not surprising that with more than 2.000 species described many classification schemes have been (Maldonado 1990, Putshkov and Putshkov proposed for species of this subfamily.

    © 2016 Daniel R. Swanson DEAD BUGS DO TELL TALES: IMPLICATIONS OF A NEW FOSSIL ASSASSIN BUG (HETEROPTERA: REDUVIIDAE) FOR THE EVOLUTIONARY HISTORY AND SYSTEMATICS OF AN EXTANT LINEAGE BY DANIEL R. SWANSON THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Entomology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Master's Committee: Doctor Sam W. Heads, Co-Chair, Co-Director of Research Doctor Steven J. Taylor, Co-Chair, Co-Director of Research Professor Andrew V. Suarez ABSTRACT The following thesis comprises three parts: (1) the description of a new fossil assassin bug, (2) the use of this newly described taxon to inform the phylogenetic history of the family, and (3) a survey of previously-described extinct taxa compiled into the first taxonomic catalog of fossil Reduvioidea. The first chapter presents a new Eocene (Ypresian) fossil assassin bug, Aphelicophontes iuddorum gen. et sp. nov. (Reduviidae: Harpactorinae), described from the Green River Formation of Colorado. The specimens informing this description are marked by an extraordinary level of preservation, particularly in external and internal structures of the adult male genitalia. Following the description, discussions of phylogenetic signal and the implications for the systematics and evolutionary history of the group are presented. The second chapter uses Aphelicophontes iuddorum gen. et sp. nov. as a new calibration point in order to re-estimate the divergence dates of Reduvioidea. This analysis also utilizes a new set of fossil calibrations from previous studies. Tree topology is inferred using MrBayes and RAxML, and divergence dates are inferred using BEAST2.
