  • 1 It's All Geek to Me: Translating Names Of
    IT’S ALL GEEK TO ME: TRANSLATING NAMES OF INSECTARIUM ARTHROPODS Prof. J. Phineas Michaelson, O.M.P. U.S. Biological and Geological Survey of the Territories Central Post Office, Denver City, Colorado Territory [or Year 2016 c/o Kallima Consultants, Inc., PO Box 33084, Northglenn, CO 80233-0084] ABSTRACT Kids today! Why don’t they know the basics of Greek and Latin? Either they don’t pay attention in class, or in many cases schools just don’t teach these classic languages of science anymore. For those who are Latin and Greek-challenged, noted (fictional) Victorian entomologist and explorer, Prof. J. Phineas Michaelson, will present English translations of the scientific names that have been given to some of the popular common arthropods available for public exhibits. This paper will explore how species get their names, as well as a brief look at some of the naturalists that named them. INTRODUCTION Our education system just isn’t what it used to be. Classic languages such as Latin and Greek are no longer a part of standard curriculum. Unfortunately, this puts modern students of science at somewhat of a disadvantage compared to our predecessors when it comes to scientific names. In the insectarium world, Latin and Greek names are used for the arthropods that we display, but for most young entomologists, these words are just a challenge to pronounce and lack meaning. Working with arthropods, we all know that Entomology is the study of these animals. Sounding similar but totally different, Etymology is the study of the origin of words, and the history of word meaning.

  • Birth of Maria Sibylla Merian Naturalist and Artist Maria Sibylla Merian Was Born on April 2, 1647, in Frankfurt-Am- Main, Germany
    This Day in History… April 2, 1647 Birth of Maria Sibylla Merian Naturalist and artist Maria Sibylla Merian was born on April 2, 1647, in Frankfurt-am- Main, Germany. Merian spent her life studying insects and plants and capturing them in beautifully detailed paintings and drawings. Merian’s father was an engraver and publisher, but he died when she was three. Her mother remarried artist Jacob Marrel in 1651 and he encouraged her to paint and draw. When she was 13, Merian did her first painting of plants and insects based on live specimens she collected. She was fascinated by caterpillars and collected all she could find so she could witness how they changed into beautiful butterflies and moths. Merian married her stepfather’s apprentice, Johann Andreas Graff, in 1665 and they moved to Nuremberg in 1670. She The set of four Merian Botanicals stamps were continued to paint and design embroidery. She also gave drawing issued for Women’s lessons to the daughters of wealthy families. This helped raise her History Month in 1997. social standing while also giving her access to some of the area’s finest gardens, where she could continue to collect and study insects. While other female artists included insects in their paintings of flowers, few others bred or studied them like Merian did. She published her first book on insects in 1679, which focused on their metamorphosis. At the time, little was known about this process. Some This stamp pictures a people wrote about it, but most people believed they were “born of flowering pineapple mud” – having been born spontaneously.

Beetles are distinguished from other insects by their modified fore-wings called elytra (e-ly-tra). The elytra are hardened structures that protect the soft body of the beetle and its hind wings, that are used for flight. There are over 350,000 species of beetles in the world and they live in a wide range of habitats, from deserts to lakes/streams, and from high in the mountains to the beaches of the oceans. Beetles have complete metamorphosis that includes three distinct stages after egg hatch; a larva, pupa, and the adult. What other insects also have these same stages? (See answer at the bottom) Beetle larvae may live in: • soil eating debris and roots (scarabs, click and ground beetles); • bore tunnels and consume old (longhorn and Jewel beetles) or living wood (bark beetles); • are aggressive predators (lady bugs and tiger beetle larvae; • feed on stored grains (weevils); • old fruit (fruit beetles); • in dung (scarabs); • and various other places since some beetles are very specialized in their larval feeding habits.

Trinidad dwarf tarantula, Cyriocosmus elegans. [www.spidersworld.eu/en/product-category/female-tarantulas/ downloaded 2 March 2016] TRAITS. This tarantula, also called the Trinidad dwarf, Trinidad dwarf tiger rump or valentine tarantula, is one of the smallest tarantulas in the world. It is brightly coloured, consisting of a black body with orange markings (Fig. 1), including a hairless patch in a heart shape covering 30% of its dorsal abdomen (Bagaturov, 2014). The leg span of an adult female is 25-50mm but they are sexually dimorphic since the male is much smaller than the female (less than 12mm) and the male has tibial hooks to grasp the female during mating (Fig. 2). DISTRIBUTION. This tarantula is found only in Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago (Fig. 3). Other Cyriocosmus species are found in South America but C. elegans doesn’t venture farther than the Venezuelan land border. Many large colonies have been found in Tobago within relatively small areas (Bagaturov, 2014). They thrive in tropical rainforest areas with high temperatures and lots of moisture. UWI The Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago Ecology HABITAT AND ACTIVITY. C. elegans live in tropical climates with high humidity and therefore moist ground conditions. They burrow or inhabit natural shelters on the ground which they line with their silk web for stabilization and to facilitate getting in and out. They are nocturnal and therefore most activity occurs at night.

  • 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.
