  • Nansei Islands Biological Diversity Evaluation Project Report 1 Chapter 1
    Introduction WWF Japan’s involvement with the Nansei Islands can be traced back to a request in 1982 by Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh. The “World Conservation Strategy”, which was drafted at the time through a collaborative effort by the WWF’s network, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), posed the notion that the problems affecting environments were problems that had global implications. Furthermore, the findings presented offered information on precious environments extant throughout the globe and where they were distributed, thereby providing an impetus for people to think about issues relevant to humankind’s harmonious existence with the rest of nature. One of the precious natural environments for Japan given in the “World Conservation Strategy” was the Nansei Islands. The Duke of Edinburgh, who was the President of the WWF at the time (now President Emeritus), naturally sought to promote acts of conservation by those who could see them through most effectively, i.e. pertinent conservation parties in the area, a mandate which naturally fell on the shoulders of WWF Japan with regard to nature conservation activities concerning the Nansei Islands. This marked the beginning of the Nansei Islands initiative of WWF Japan, and ever since, WWF Japan has not only consistently performed globally-relevant environmental studies of particular areas within the Nansei Islands during the 1980’s and 1990’s, but has put pressure on the national and local governments to use the findings of those studies in public policy. Unfortunately, like many other places throughout the world, the deterioration of the natural environments in the Nansei Islands has yet to stop.

Brattsten And approved by ___________________________ ___________________________ ___________________________ ___________________________ ___________________________ ___________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey January 2021 ii ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Insects as Sources of Protein and Long-Chain Fatty Acids for Entomophagy by Alexander N. Rudin Thesis Director: Dr. Lena B. Brattsten Current sources of protein and omega-3 fatty acids have become unsustainable. Livestock and farmed fish are fed unnatural diets in order to increase productivity and cut costs. This causes health problems for the animals and decreases the nutritional value of their meat. Meat from factory farms contains high concentrations of the omega-6, linoleic acid (LA) while lacking the omega-3, α-linolenic (ALA) acid. Aquaculture fish have less protein than wild-caught fish. Eating a diet with a high ratio of LA to ALA contributes to obesity and cardiovascular disease. Farming insects for entomophagy can be more cost effective than farming livestock or fish because insects require less water, feed, and space, have a much smaller carbon footprint and produce far less waste.

  • Colonization of a Newly Cleaned Cave by a Camel Cricket: Asian Invasive Or Native?
    Lavoie et al. Colonization of a newly cleaned cave by a camel cricket: Asian invasive or native? Kathleen Lavoie1,2, Julia Bordi1,3, Nacy Elwess1,4, Douglas Soroka5, & Michael Burgess1,6 1 Biology Department, State University of New York Plattsburgh, 101 Broad St., Plattsburgh, NY 12901 USA 2 [email protected] (corresponding author) 3 [email protected] 4 [email protected] 5 Greater Allentown Grotto, PA [email protected] 6 [email protected] Key Words: camel crickets, Orthoptera, Rhaphidophoridae, invasive species, recovery of biota, Diestrammena, Diestramima, Crystal Cave, Pennslyvania. Crystal Cave in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, was discovered in 1871 while quarrying for limestone (Stone 1953). Crystal Cave is developed in a belt of Ordovician-age limestone and has an abundance of formations. The cave is about 110 m in extent with an upper level, and access is restricted by a blockhouse (Stone 1953). Crystal Cave is the oldest continually-operating commercial cave in the state, opening for a Grand Illumination in 1872 (Crystal Cave History 2010). It currently hosts about 75,000 visitors a year (K. Campbell, personal communication). Early visitors were guided using candles, oil, and kerosene lanterns, and for a grand lighting, kerosene was spilled onto flowstone and set ablaze to illuminate some of the larger rooms (Snyder 2000). By 1919, the cave was lit with battery-powered lights, and in 1929, 5000 feet of wiring with 225 light bulbs was installed. In 1974 new concealed wiring was installed with indirect sealed-beam spotlights (Snyder 2000). Crystal Cave has been heavily impacted by humans, and it showed. Soroka and Lavoie (2017) reported on work to clean up the cave to return it to more natural conditions by removal of soot and grime using power washing and scrubbing.

  • THE CURRENT STATUS of ORTHOPTEROID INSECTS in BRITAIN and IRELAND by Peter G
    THE CURRENT STATUS OF ORTHOPTEROID INSECTS IN BRITAIN AND IRELAND by Peter G. Sutton, Björn C. Beckmann & Brian Nelson INTRODUCTION This article provides an overview of the changes that have occurred within the orthopteroid fauna of Britain and Ireland since the last distribution atlas was published in 1997 (Haes & Harding, 1997). It provides the current IUCN status of the scarce and threatened species in Britain in accordance with their recent reassessment (Sutton, 2015a) and discusses the future prognosis for this group of insects in Britain and Ireland. It also highlights recent developments of the Orthoptera Recording Scheme with particular reference to the collection of distribution map data using new technologies. Changes to the orthopteroid fauna of Britain and Ireland have been assessed in the landmark publications by Ragge (1965), Marshall & Haes (1988), Haes & Harding (1997) and more recently, Benton (2012), and have also been comprehensively reviewed by Marshall (1974, 2001, 2010). In addition, a regular and ongoing summary of these changes has been provided by the Grasshoppers and Relatives section of British Wildlife magazine (Haes, 1990‒1995; Widgery 1995‒2002; Sutton, 2002‒2016), and in the Orthoptera Recording Scheme newsletters (1‒22 (Haes, 1979‒1995); 23‒28 (Widgery, 1996‒2002) and 29‒33 (Beckmann & Sutton, 2013‒2016)).

E-mail: [email protected] 3Corresponding author Abstract A taxonomic study of the genus Diestramima Storozhenko, 1990 is presented. Eleven new species are described: D. ex- cavata sp. nov., D. parabispinosa sp. nov., D. tibetensis sp. nov., D. guangxiensis sp. nov., D. subrectis sp. nov., D. cur- vicaudata sp. nov., D. beybienkoi sp. nov., D. triangulata sp. nov., D. brevis sp. nov., D. emeiensis sp. nov., D. conica sp. nov.. A key to the species of Diestramima is given. Key words: Orthoptera, Aemodogryllinae, Diestramima, new species, China Introduction Diestramima was proposed by Storozhenko (1990) with the type species Diestrammena cryptopygia (Chopard, 1918) from India. In that paper, he presented the key to four species of this genus. He also concluded that Diestrammena palpata (Rehn, 1906) was a synonym of the type species. But Gorochov & Storozhenko (2015) treated them as two independent and valid species. Here we agree with that. Therefore, we agree the type species should be Diestrammena cryptopygia (Chopard, 1918) which is consistent with the figures provided by Storozhenko (1990).

  • Comparative Study of the Invertebrate Cave Faunas of Southeast Asia and New Guinea
    Historia naturalis bulgarica, 21: 169-210, 2015 Comparative study of the invertebrate cave faunas of Southeast Asia and New Guinea Petar Beron Abstract: An attempt is made to compare the available data on the cave fauna of SE Asia with the cave fauna of New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago. The information is very uneven, with many hundreds of caves and cave animals known from SE Asia and almost the only results on the cave fauna of New Guinea obtained during the British Expedition to PNG in 1975. The present analysis outlines the existence of more than 209 troglobites and 42 stygobites in the caves of SE Asia and 18 troglobites and 10 stygobites in the caves of New Guinea and New Ireland. Many of these species are to some extent “troglomorphes”, but their belonging to the caterories of troglobites or stygobites is disputable, as nothing is known in details concerning their biology. The richest groups in troglobites are Isopoda Oniscidea (13 sp. in SE Asia, 1 in New Guinea), Araneae (46 sp. in SE Asia, unfinished study of PNG collection), Pseudoscorpiones (11 sp. in SE Asia, 1 in New Guinea), Diplopoda (30 sp. in SE Asia, 1 in New Guinea), Collembola (28 sp. in SE Asia, 4 in New Guinea), Coleoptera Carabidae (56 sp. in SE Asia, 3 in New Guinea and New Ireland). Particularly interesting is the discovery of a rich cave fauna in the highlands of New Guinea (above 2200 m), wherе the air temperature in the caves is ca. 13 0C, comparable to the temperature in the South European caves.

A key to the species of Pseudotachycines gen. nov. is provided. Key words: Orthoptera, Rhaphidophoridae, Aemodogryllinae, Aemodogryllini, new genus, new species, China Introduction Pseudotachycines gen. nov. is proposed for the new species Pseudotachycines deformis sp. nov. from Zhejiang. It has shared characters of Aemodogryllini, but its distinctive distinguishing features are the specialized paraprocts of the male which are distinctly longer than epiproct. In addition, the sclerotized lateral lobes of male genitalia are distinctive. Also the characters of Diestrammena (Gymnaeta) ovalilobata (Gorochov, 2010) are almost co-incide with the generic diagnosis. Therefore, we consider it as a new combination in Pseudotachycines gen.
