Following the two previous editions, it focuses on the top level scientific products of the Department and presents the abstracts of the peer-reviewed papers as retrieved from the ISI and Scopus databases. These publications represent only a part of the relevant deliverables of the wide research activity carried out within the Department. Indeed, an incredible number of other documents, such as book chapters, conference contributions, abstracts, reports, and fact sheets were also released. This great effort involved all the wide expertise present in the Department and was facilitated by the contribution of the technical staff and the enthusiastic participation of PhD students, postdocs, and grant holders that represent the freshest energy of the Department. The research activity developed by DAFNAE has been accompanied by an impressive offer of undergraduate, MS and PhD courses, in which the DAFNAE members can promptly transmit to the students the knowledges derived from their research activities, carried out both in field and lab. I am very proud for the enthusiasm and the vitality of the Department and I am sure that this booklet will be a remarkable instrument to disseminate the research and innovation produced by DAFNAE. I deeply thank all the colleagues who contributed with their papers, with a special acknowledgement to the group of editors who took care of this issue. We are ready for the 2016 edition! Maurizio Borin Head Department of Agronomy, Food, Natural resources, Animals and Environment 7 File riservato ad esclusivo fine di studio File riservato ad esclusivo fine di studio THE RESEARCH PAPERS: STATISTICS AND COMMENTS The release of the DAFNAE research yearbook represents a very important annual event. It is the moment when the production and quality of the research activity and the degree of collaboration and internationalization of the department are summarized. Although in the first edition of the yearbook we predicted for the decade 2011-2020 an average number of documents per year published in peer review journal equal to 119, the actual number of scientific documents published in 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 was higher, being equal to 151, 154, 123 and 150, respectively. The 150 scientific documents published in 2015 (+22% compared with 2014) produced a total of 1,110 pages (+8% respect to 2014), on 88 (-6% respect to 2014) different scientific journals. The Journal of Dairy Science (Q1 in the subject categories of Scopus/WOS), with 14 documents, was the scientific journal most highly used by DAFNAE researchers in 2015, as in the previous year. The average number of papers per researcher was 2.42 and the average number of authors per document was 5.6, ranging from 1 to 16 co-authors. The documents collected in the present Research yearbook can be divided into 143 scientific articles, 3 reviews, 3 conference papers and 1 letter. A relevant result obtained in the year 2015 was the high proportion of papers published in journals in the Q1 (first quartile) level of impact factor of the subject category. Table 1 shows the distribution of frequency of scientific documents for quartile of impact factor and for each scientific category. More than 75% of the published papers were categorized Q1. The categories where all documents were published, are reported in Table 2. The most productive scientific categories were Animal science (19.4%), Genetics and genomics (15.3%), and Food science and technology (14.7%). Table 1.

Indeed, the total number of authors per documents is based on the permanent and temporary research staff of the department plus the external collaborations. In 2015, the average self-sufficiency degree of DAFNAE was 37%, ranging from 20 % in the Microbiology category to 49% in the Animal science category. These results indicate the importance of the temporary research staff and external collaborations to guarantee both a high research quality and a high scientific productivity in the future. Extensive and widespread international and national collaborations are guaranteed by 25 prestigious scientific research institutions in Italy, and by international research centers of high scientific level, located in more than 18 countries in 5 continents. The internationalization process of DAFNAE is growing up fast with many initiatives, together with many new partnerships and collaborations with excellent research centers around the world, with particular attention to those located in countries such as Australia, Brazil and China, which are considered for the governance of the University of Padova among the priorities for scientific collaboration.

In conclusion, this edition of the DAFNAE research yearbook aims to give a snapshot of the main research activities carried out in 2015, with a special analysis on the trends realized in the last 4 years of activity of DAFNAE and with a special focus on the quality of the research documents, the role of the young collaborators and temporary staff on the total productivity, together with the external collaborations. This report would like to inspire the future DAFNAE research and its further improvement under a collaborative perspective. A special acknowledgment to all those who have worked at all levels to qualify the research activities of DAFNAE and a great thank to those who have allowed the realization of this volume.

CHRISTIAN THOMPSON Systematic Entomology Laboratoiy, PS1, ARS, USDA, c/o National Museum of Natural Histoiy, Washington, D.C. 20560-0168, USA; email: [email protected] Abstract A complete list of the publications authored or co-authored by D. Elmo Hardy, including notes pre- sented at meetings, is given in chronological order. Additionally, a complete list of the new taxa of Diptera described by Hardy is presented. Introduction Over his exceptionally long and productive career of 65 years, D. Elmo Hardy published over 437 articles and notes proposing 1,867 new species-group names in 34 different families of Diptera. His proclivity in publishing and describing species is amazing when one considers the amount of time Elmo spent each year traveling on sabbaticals, attending international meetings, visiting family on the mainland U.S. almost every Christmas, and still meeting his teaching responsibilities. We pres- ent here as complete a list as possible of every published item attributed to his authorship or co- authorship. We include his many published notes that were presented at various meetings of the Hawaiian Entomological Society. These were not listed by Elmo in his own tracking of his publica- tions, but in many cases, new state records or other novel biological observations are included in those notes and no where else and thus are essential literature references.

  • Species the Order Diptera Has Probably Been the Most Neglected
    399 A Review of the Hawaiian Diptera, with Descriptions of New Species BY E. H. BRYAN, JR. (Presented at the Meeting of December 7, 1933) The order Diptera has probably been the most neglected major order of insects in Hawaii. The only general account of Hawaiian two-winged flies is that which appears in the Fauna Hawaiiensis, except for brief discussion of some of the groups by Williams (1931). A few excellent papers and numerous notes, dealing with individual families, genera, or species, have appeared, but no recent general summary of the whole order has been published. The Fauna Hawaiiensis recorded 135 endemic and 57 immigrant species; the former in 27 genera, the latter in 46. At present there are known to occur in these islands about 325 described species, belonging to 130 genera, and representing 42 families. (Compare Perkins, 1913, p. clxxx). In 1919, at the suggestion of Professor D. L. Crawford, the writer began to compile a card catalog of the species of Diptera recorded from Hawaii and references to them. In 1924 a manu script on the "Diptera of Hawaii" was submitted to the University of Hawaii as a thesis toward the degree of Master of Science. The present paper attempts to summarize the information which has been accumulated; to present a list of the species now known to occur in Hawaii, together with a bibliography and discussion of the principal references to them; and to describe new species, descriptions of which appear in the author's thesis and other unpublished manuscripts. EARLY REFERENCES TO HAWAIIAN DIPTERA The early references to Hawaiian entomology were discussed by J.

Universidade Federal de São João del Rei, Minas Gerais, [email protected] 2. University of South Florida, Tampa, [email protected] Several studies have attempted to understand patterns of animal and plant species distribution at the landscape scale. In this study, we examined the community structure of gall-formers occurring in the scrub oak Quercus myrtifolia by sampling the complete distributional range of this plant species and examining gall richness and abundance over its whole distribution. Gall richness and abundance as well as plant quality effects were evaluated for 40 sites in Florida, covering 17,000 km 2 and the whole distribution of the plant. Spatially structured models were used to determine the effects of spatial location on community structure and on the bottom-up effects examined (tannin concentration, foliar nitrogen and soil nitrogen). A total of 24 gall species was found in all sites combined.
