Means of Introductions in the United States This species has not been reported as introduced or established in the United States. Remarks GBIF Secretariat (2017) refers to this species as the “Papua blue green crayfish.” 1 From Eprilurahman (2014): “Significant taxonomic disputation and confusion has surrounded the number and identity of species that is referred to as the C. quadricarinatus – C. albertisii complex, which are identifiable on the basis of red soft membraneous outer margin of the propodus of the claw. The earliest taxonomic reviewers of the genus Cherax, (Smith 1912; Calman 1911; and Clark 1936), considered there was no justification in considering C. quadricarinatus, a large freshwater crayfish, described by von Martens (1868) from northern Australia to be taxonomically distinct from C. albertisii described by Nobilli (1899) from southern New Guinea. […] In contrast, Holthuis (1949; 1950; 1982) considered C. quadricarinatus, C. albertisii and C. lorentzi to be taxonomically distinct, with the former species restricted to Australia and the later [sic] two species occurring in New Guinea. My results […] support the recognition of C.

  • Evolutionary Genetics of Seasonal Polyphenism in the Map Butterfly Araschnia Levana (Nymphalidae: Lepidoptera)
    Evolutionary Ecology Research, 1999, 1: 875–894 Evolutionary genetics of seasonal polyphenism in the map butterfly Araschnia levana (Nymphalidae: Lepidoptera) Jack J. Windig1,2* and Pascal Lammar2 1Department of Zoology, University of Stockholm, S-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden and 2Department of Biology, University of Antwerp, Universiteitsplein 1, B-2610 Antwerp, Belgium ABSTRACT Araschnia levana shows two spectacularly different seasonal forms: a predominantly orange spring form with black dots and a predominantly black summer form with a white band. The forms are induced by length of day. We quantified differences in wing pattern between the forms and sexes with the help of image analysis. We used a split family design to analyse the genetic background. Each wing pattern element responded in its own way to length of day. Heritabilities within forms were generally high. Genetic correlations across lengths of day, between forms, ranged from around 0 to around 1. Wing pattern may thus rapidly respond to natural selection, but this response is for some traits not independent from selection in the other form. The overall heritability for producing a spring or summer form in an environment where both forms were produced was very high. There was a tight relationship between the length of the 5th larval instar and the adult form produced. We discuss a physiological model which can explain this relationship, and which has some interesting implications for the debate on whether genes for plasticity exist. The overall results are discussed in the light of West-Eberhard’s theory of polyphenism as a first step towards speciation. Keywords: morphometrics, phenotypic plasticity, quantitative genetics, speciation.

  • Butterflies and Their Role in Conservation
    After-School Curriculum for Ecology-Based Groups Ages 7 to 12 Exploring Butterflies and their Role in Conservation Contents: Background Information about Butterflies Activity about butterfly life cycle Activity about butterfly scales Activity about butterfly tagging Trivia about butterflies Activity Extensions I. Butterfly Overview: What is a butterfly? An insect of the order Lepidoptera, characteristically having slender bodies, knobbed antennae, and four broad, usually colorful, wings. The word Lepidoptera comes from the Greek words lepis meaning scale and pteron meaning wing. Butterfly wings are made of hardened membrane, strengthened by veins and covered by tiny scales, each a single color. The intricate designs of butterfly wings are produced by thousands of scales, arrayed in complex patterns and overlapping one another like shingles on a roof. What is the difference between a butterfly and a moth? There is no one rule that covers all species, but in general these are the differences between the two: · Butterflies fly during the day (are diurnal) and moths fly at night (are nocturnal). · Butterflies have knobbed antenna and moths have feathery or straight antenna. · Butterfly bodies are usually slim, while moth bodies are plump and hairy. · At rest, butterflies hold their wings together, vertically, over their backs. Moths hold their wings out horizontally, or fold them roof-like, over their backs. · Butterfly chrysalides are naked, while moths usually spin silken cocoons to enclose their chrysalides or burrow underground to pupate. Butterflies and Conservation The existence of many species of butterflies is endangered because their living space—swamps or forests, for example—is being destroyed. Some kinds of butterflies only feed on one particular species of plant.

This paper documents the first record of the blue crawfish,Cambarus monongalensis Ortmann, 1905, in the state of Ohio, United States. The blue crawfish is a small- to medium-sized primary burrowing crayfish common in western Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Because of the prevalence of this species on the east side of the Ohio River, numerous researchers have sought the blue crawfish in Ohio—to no avail. On 16 May 2020, turkey hunters in Monroe County, Ohio, located a blue-colored crayfish and sent photos to one of the authors of this study. On 19 May 2020, the authors sampled in the vicinity of where the photo was taken and located 4 sites that yielded a total of 5 blue crawfish specimens, confirming the existence of this species in Ohio. Further research is needed on the blue crawfish to determine its range and abundance in Ohio, and to explore factors relating to its biogeography. Publication Date: September 2020 https://doi.org/10.18061/ojs.v120i2.7693 OHIO J SCI 120(2):57-60 INTRODUCTION Editor's note: The occasional use of “crawfish" Since its original description in 1905, the blue rather than “crayfish" in this paper is intentional and crawfish has been recorded in the upper Ohio River is based on the common name “blue crawfish” chosen Basin in parts of Pennsylvania and West Virginia— by Ortmann (1905) when he described this species.

For many childhood cancer patients, cancer treatment involves oncofertility-related discussions that involve their families, physicians, and many other people. This paper evaluates the quality of educational and clinical resources available to childhood cancer patients regarding fertility preservation and the current approach to these kinds of cases from an ethical perspective. I propose a procedure for treatment plan development and decision making that carefully considers the values and beliefs of the patient, his/her family members, physicians, and ethics board members involved with the case to help standardize the process.
