Yanong2 Introduction Unlike many traditional agriculture industries in Florida which may raise one or only a few different species, tropical Freshwater tropical ornamental fish culture is the largest fish farmers collectively culture hundreds of different component of aquaculture in the State of Florida and ac- species and varieties of fishes from numerous families and counts for approximately 95% of all ornamentals produced several geographic regions. There is much variation within in the US. There are about 200 Florida producers who and among fish groups with regard to acceptable water collectively raise over 800 varieties of freshwater fishes. In quality parameters, feeding and nutrition, and mode of 2003 alone, farm-gate value of Florida-raised tropical fish reproduction. Some farms specialize in one or a few fish was about US$47.2 million. Given the additional economic groups, while other farms produce a wide spectrum of effects of tropical fish trade such as support industries, aquatic livestock. wholesalers, retail pet stores, and aquarium product manufacturing, the importance to Florida is tremendous. Fish can be grouped in a number of different ways. One major division in the industry which has practical signifi- Florida’s tropical ornamental aquaculture industry is cance is that between egg-laying species and live-bearing concentrated in Hillsborough, Polk, and Miami-Dade species. The culture practices for each division are different, counties with additional farms throughout the southern requiring specialized knowledge and equipment to succeed. half of the state. Historic factors, warm climate, the proxim- ity to airports and other infrastructural considerations This publication briefly reviews the more common groups (ready access to aquaculture equipment, supplies, feed, etc.) of freshwater tropical ornamental fishes cultured in Florida are the major reasons for this distribution. -

Despite extensive research and development in antibiotics, they have remained inadequately effective in treating bovine mastitis induced by multiple pathogen infection. In the present study, we showed the protective effect of Zophobas morio (Z. morio) hemolymph on bovine mammary epithelial cells against bacterial infection. Z. morio hemolymph directly kills both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria through membrane permeation and prevents the adhesion of E. coli or the clinically isolated S. simulans strain to bovine mammary epithelial (MAC-T) cells. In addition, Z. morio hemolymph downregulates the expression of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor family member pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3), caspase-1, and NLRP6, as well as inhibits the secretion of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18, which attenuates E. coli or S. simulans-induced pyroptosis. Overall, our results suggest the potential role of Z. morio hemolymph as a novel therapeutic candidate for bovine mastitis. -

Superworm Zophobas morio By Cody Castellanos General Information: Superworms ( Zophobas morio ) are a 2” long larva that is a very popular feeder for reptiles. Because of their size and movement they’ll easily catch the attention of your animals. They are naturally large and have no growth hormones unlike the giant mealworm. They are native to tropical Central and South America. The total life span for a superworm is a little over a year from egg to beetle. Housing: They can be placed in any container that you may have. Make sure that the container is high enough so they can’t climb out. Usually tubs 5”+ high is suffi cient. I’ve found that plastic Rubbermaid tubs usually work best. Heat & Light - Lighting is not needed as they like darkness. The best temperatures are in the mid 70s to the low 80s. If superworms are overheated you will notice a signifi cant die off. Also never refrigerate superworms! They can’t take cold temperatures and death will be the result. Food & Water: Superworms will eat just about anything. Keep them in 1-4” of wheat bran, oats or a highly nutritious gutload. Make sure to gutload all food items for 24 hours prior to feeding. Gutloading is feeding very nutritious/high quality foods to prey prior to feeding to your animals. There are also many commercially available products that are in powder form. I make and use Pro Gutload for all my feeders. Gutloading will ensure a healthier insect and in the long run a healthier animal. Water - Things like carrots, potatoes, fruits etc are all suitable for moisture. -

The effectiveness of the system was studied by tak- ing photos of 165 insect species including some subspecies from museum collections (105 Coleoptera, 11 Hemi ptera (Pentatomidae), 12 Hymenoptera, 10 Lepidoptera, 9 Mantodea, 4 Odonata, 13 Orthoptera, 1 Phasmatodea) and 16 living insect species (1 Lepidoptera, 3 Mantodea, 4 Orthoptera, 8 Phasmato- dea), from which four are exemplarily pictured herein. The system is based on a modifi ed standard consumer DSLR camera (Canon Rebel XSi), which was altered for two-channel colour infrared photography. The camera is especially sensitive in the spectral range of 700-800 nm, which is well- suited to visualize small scale spectral differences in the steep of increase in refl ectance in this range, as it could be seen in some species. Several of the investigated species show at least a partial infrared refl ectance. -

Marvellous Monsters Fact File
MARVELLOUS MONSTERS FACT FILE Inside this booklet, you will find some monstrous facts and information about the marvellous mini-beasts you can see at Longleat this year. BEETLES Coleoptera Beetles make up the largest group of insects with at least 350,000 known species across the world and make up around a quarter of all know species on the planet! They include some beetles well-known to us such as the ladybird and in the UK, we have at least 4000 different species. • Beetles have a distinct lifecycle and can spend several years as larvae before emerging as an adult. • Beetles have an elytra which is a pair of modified wings that have hardened to form a wing case, thus beetles fly with one pair of wings. • Beetles play a number of ecological roles. They can be detritivores, recycling nutrients such as plant materials, corpses and dung. They can act as pollinators and predators to pest species. They have been revered such as the sacred scarab beetle by ancient Egyptians and loathed as pests such as the death watch beetle. They are a fascinating and diverse group of animals and well worth exploring in more detail. BEETLES HERCULES BEETLE Dynastes hercules Classification Phylum - Arthropoda Class - Insecta Order - Coleoptera Location Southern USA, Mexico, Bolivia Size Up to 180mm long Where are they found? Understorey and forest floor amongst leaves, rotting wood and fruit Diet They are detritivores, so they eat dead and rotting fruit that has fallen to the ground. This is one of the largest beetles in the world. The male is easy to identify with one long horn coming from the thorax and one from the head. -
Tarantulas and Social Spiders
Tarantulas and Social Spiders: A Tale of Sex and Silk by Jonathan Bull BSc (Hons) MSc ICL Thesis Presented to the Institute of Biology of The University of Nottingham in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Nottingham May 2012 DEDICATION To my parents… …because they both said to dedicate it to the other… I dedicate it to both ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost I would like to thank my supervisor Dr Sara Goodacre for her guidance and support. I am also hugely endebted to Dr Keith Spriggs who became my mentor in the field of RNA and without whom my understanding of the field would have been but a fraction of what it is now. Particular thanks go to Professor John Brookfield, an expert in the field of biological statistics and data retrieval. Likewise with Dr Susan Liddell for her proteomics assistance, a truly remarkable individual on par with Professor Brookfield in being able to simplify even the most complex techniques and analyses. Finally, I would really like to thank Janet Beccaloni for her time and resources at the Natural History Museum, London, permitting me access to the collections therein; ten years on and still a delight. Finally, amongst the greats, Alexander ‘Sasha’ Kondrashov… a true inspiration. I would also like to express my gratitude to those who, although may not have directly contributed, should not be forgotten due to their continued assistance and considerate nature: Dr Chris Wade (five straight hours of help was not uncommon!), Sue Buxton (direct to my bench creepy crawlies), Sheila Keeble (ventures and cleans where others dare not), Alice Young (read/checked my thesis and overcame her arachnophobia!) and all those in the Centre for Biomolecular Sciences. -
MAHS Care Sheet Master List *By Eric Roscoe Care Sheets Are Often An
MAHS Care Sheet Master List *By Eric Roscoe Care sheets are often an excellent starting point for learning more about the biology and husbandry of a given species, including their housing/enclosure requirements, temperament and handling, diet , and other aspects of care. MAHS itself has created many such care sheets for a wide range of reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates we believe to have straightforward care requirements, and thus make suitable family and beginner’s to intermediate level pets. Some species with much more complex, difficult to meet, or impracticable care requirements than what can be adequately explained in a one page care sheet may be multiple pages. We can also provide additional links, resources, and information on these species we feel are reliable and trustworthy if requested. If you would like to request a copy of a care sheet for any of the species listed below, or have a suggestion for an animal you don’t see on our list, contact us to let us know! Unfortunately, for liability reasons, MAHS is unable to create or publish care sheets for medically significant venomous species. This includes species in the families Crotilidae, Viperidae, and Elapidae, as well as the Helodermatidae (the Gila Monsters and Mexican Beaded Lizards) and some medically significant rear fanged Colubridae. Those that are serious about wishing to learn more about venomous reptile husbandry that cannot be adequately covered in one to three page care sheets should take the time to utilize all available resources by reading books and literature, consulting with, and working with an experienced and knowledgeable mentor in order to learn the ropes hands on. -
