I a.C. - séc. I d.C.), ou seja, a passagem dos grandes povoados da Idade do Ferro à Romanização. O reconhecimento e localização das grandes áreas mineiras auríferas e estaníferas em co-articulação com os povoados permitem averiguar se as primeiras foram ou não causa directa das mudanças sofridas na paisagem, e qual a projecção da via XIX do Itinerário de Antonino. ABSTRACT This study aims to show the importance of mining in the Municipality of Vila Verde, Braga District, Portugal, trying to identify the transformations in the landscape of this county within the Bracara Augusta Conventus, in a chronological period still poorly characterized (Ist century BC-Ist century AD), in other words, the passage of the large fortified settlements of the Iron Age to the Romanization. The recognition and location of the major gold and tin areas in connection with the settlements allow verifying if the former were the direct cause of the changes that took place in the landscape, taking into con- sideration the main road that crosses this county (via XIX). -

Of the associated entomofauna phytophagous beetles (Coleoptera) of various taxonomic groups adapted their life history to this ancient host tree. This occurred either already before the late Gondwanian interruption of the previously joint Araucaria distribution or only later in the already geographically separated populations. A bibliographic survey of the eastern and western coleopterans recorded on Araucaria trees resulted in well over 200 species belonging to 17 families. These studies include records of beetles living on 12 of the 19 extant Araucaria species. Their occurrence and adaptations to the host trees are discussed under aspects of evolution and co- speciation.

EL CONSUMO DE INSECTOS ENTRE LOS LACANDONES DE LA COMUNIDAD BETHEL Y SU VALOR NUTRITIVO Julieta Ramos-Elorduy José Manuel Pino Moreno Departamento de Zoología.Instituto de Biología, UNAM. [email protected] [email protected] RESUMEN Los Lacandones de la comunidad Bethel en la Selva Lacandona, tuvieron un consumo de insectos comestibles que ascendió a 53 especies registradas en sólo una estación del año, pertenecientes a los cuatro órdenes más numerosos de la clase Insecta: Hymenoptera (24 especies), Coleoptera (18 especies), Orthoptera (nueve especies), Lepidoptera (dos especies). La familia mejor representada fue la Vespidae la cual alberga diez especies, correspondientes a los géneros: Polybia, Mischocyttarus, Polistes, Vespula, Brachygastra, Parachartegus y Apoica. El análisis químico realizado con el objeto porcentajes expresados en base seca, oscilan de 25.72% a 76.50% correspondiendo el primer valor a de conocer su valor nutritivo efectuado en 29 especies arrojó un alto contenido de proteínas, cuyos las larvas del escarabajo Aplagiognathus spinosus (Coleoptera-Cerambycidae) y el más alto al chapulín Sphenarium histrio (ninfas y adultos) (Orthoptera-Acrididae). Además, se muestra la composición en aminoácidos de estas proteínas en 14 especies, notando que en general los aminoácidos esenciales se encuentran en buena proporción con respecto al patrón FAO/WHO/UNU 1985 para adultos , siendo varias especies ligeramente limitantes en triptofano. Para el caso de las necesidades de niños (dos a cincoaños), notamos que todas las especies superan los valores con excepción de Ascalapha odorata en el caso de la histidina. También se estudió el contenido de sales minerales, vitaminas del grupo B y la proporción de calorías que albergan, comparándolos con los alimentos convencionales. -

LINGAFELTER Systematic Entomology Laboratory, Agriculture Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution,Washington, DC 20013-7012, U.S.A. Current address: 8920 South Bryerly Ct., Hereford, AZ 85615, U.S.A. ABSTRACT This article presents both ethnoentomological notes on Nahuatl and Mixtec language terms as they are applied to Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) and distributional records for species collected during three projects carried out in the states of Guerrero and Puebla, Mexico. Some comparative data from other Mesoamerican and Native American languages are discussed. Indigenous common names are mapped onto current taxonomic nomenclature, and an analysis is offered of the logical basis for Indigenous classification: the exclusion of some cerambycids and the inclusion of other beetles in the nominal native “cerambycid” category. New state distributional records for the Cerambycidae collected in this study are offered for Guerrero: Bebelis picta Pascoe, Callipogon senex Dupont, Neocompsa macrotricha Martins, Olenosus ser- rimanus Bates, Ornithia mexicana zapotensis Tippmann, Stenygra histrio Audinet-Serville, Strongylaspis championi Bates, Lissonotus flavocinctus puncticollis Bates, and Nothopleurus lobigenis Bates; and Puebla: Juiaparus mexicanus (Thomson), Ptychodes guttulatus Dillon and Dillon, and Steirastoma senex White. Key Words: linguistics, etymology, Nahuatl, Mixtec, longhorned beetle, wood-borer DOI.org/10.1649/0010-065X-71.2.301 The present article emerges from two language shapes. -

J Insect Behav (2012) 25:569–577 DOI 10.1007/s10905-012-9321-0 Role of Volatile Semiochemicals in the Host and Mate Location Behavior of Mallodon dasystomus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Matthew A. Paschen & Nathan M. Schiff & Matthew D. Ginzel Revised: 18 January 2012 /Accepted: 1 March 2012 / Published online: 16 March 2012 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012 Abstract Little is known of the role semiochemicals play in the mating systems of longhorned beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in the primitive subfamily Prioninae. Mallodon dasystomus (Say), the hardwood stump borer, is a widely distributed prionine native to the southern US. Preferred hosts of M. dasystomus include oak, sweetgum, sugarberry and hackberry; although they also colonize a variety of other hardwoods. Here, we study the mate location behavior of M. dasystomus by testing the hypotheses that the sexes are mutually attracted to volatiles emanating from the larval host and that females release a volatile pheromone that is attractive to males alone. In a Y-tube olfactometer, male and female M. dasystomus responded to volatiles from host material (i.e., sweetgum and sugarberry). However, only males responded to females in the olfactometer, suggesting that females release a volatile sex pheromone. In choice experiments conducted in a greenhouse, we determined that both males and females prefer host over non-host material. In further bioassays in the greenhouse, males chose host material containing a live female over that containing a live male or host material alone. These findings are further evidence of the critical role host volatiles and pheromones play in mating systems of longhorned beetles. -
Wax, Wings, and Swarms: Insects and Their Products As Art Media
Wax, Wings, and Swarms: Insects and their Products as Art Media Barrett Anthony Klein Pupating Lab Biology Department, University of Wisconsin—La Crosse, La Crosse, WI 54601 email: [email protected] When citing this paper, please use the following: Klein BA. Submitted. Wax, Wings, and Swarms: Insects and their Products as Art Media. Annu. Rev. Entom. DOI: 10.1146/annurev-ento-020821-060803 Keywords art, cochineal, cultural entomology, ethnoentomology, insect media art, silk 1 Abstract Every facet of human culture is in some way affected by our abundant, diverse insect neighbors. Our relationship with insects has been on display throughout the history of art, sometimes explicitly, but frequently in inconspicuous ways. This is because artists can depict insects overtly, but they can also allude to insects conceptually, or use insect products in a purely utilitarian manner. Insects themselves can serve as art media, and artists have explored or exploited insects for their products (silk, wax, honey, propolis, carmine, shellac, nest paper), body parts (e.g., wings), and whole bodies (dead, alive, individually, or as collectives). This review surveys insects and their products used as media in the visual arts, and considers the untapped potential for artistic exploration of media derived from insects. The history, value, and ethics of “insect media art” are topics relevant at a time when the natural world is at unprecedented risk. INTRODUCTION The value of studying cultural entomology and insect art No review of human culture would be complete without art, and no review of art would be complete without the inclusion of insects. Cultural entomology, a field of study formalized in 1980 (43), and ambitiously reviewed 35 years ago by Charles Hogue (44), clearly illustrates that artists have an inordinate fondness for insects. -

A. glabripennis is a serious pest both in China and the U.S. This research project was developed in response to the need for efficient monitoring traps to assess population density and dispersal in the field and to detect new introductions at ports of entry. The first stages of the project aimed at filling the gaps in our knowledge of the effect of semiochemicals on A. glabripennis adult behavior and exploring potential use of these chemicals for monitoring purposes. Semiochemicals studied were the male- produced putative volatile pheromone vbutan-1-ol and 4-(n-heptyloxy)butanal) and plant volatiles.
