Yusuf1, Putri Fadjriah1, Rosyanti, S.Pd., M.Pd.2 1Siswa SMA Negeri 1 Pinrang, Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan, Indonesia 2Guru SMA Negeri 1 Pinrang, Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan, Indonesia Email: [email protected], [email protected],[email protected] ABSTRACT The phenomenon that occurs in the SMAN 1 Pinrang environment is students who often do selfies using tilted head poses. In this case the researcher conducts method namely questionnaire method and observation as a direct observation process in the field to obtain data which is relevant. The results of the questionnaire data were conducted on 160 samples of female students of SMAN 1 Pinrang. It was seen that the level of female students’ interest in cells was quite high and the level of use of pose with a sloping head was quite a lot. Whereas for the pose maker in increasing female students’ self-videos, especially instagram, it looks no effect. Selfie among the female students of SMAN 1 Pinrang class of 2019 has become a habit especially when using tilted head poses. Keywords: selfie, instagram, exsistence exist, female students of SMAN 1 Pinrang. ABSTRAK Fenomena yang terjadi di lingkungan SMAN 1 Pinrang yakni siswi yang kerap kali melakukan selfie dengan menggunakan pose kepala yang dimiringkan.Dalam hal ini peneliti melakukan metode yaitu metode angket (kuesioner) serta observasi sebagai proses pengamatan langsung di lapangan guna mendapatkan data yang relevan.Hasil dari data angket (kuesioner) yang dilakukan terhadap 160 sampel siswi SMAN 1 Pinrang, terlihat bahwa tingkat ketertarikan siswi terhadap selfie cukup tinggi dan tingkat penggunaan pose dengan kepala miring cukup banyak dilakukan. Sedangkan untuk pengaruh pose tersebut dalam meningkatkan kepercayaan diri siswi dalam mengunggah foto selfie ke media sosial terutama instagram terlihat tidak berpengaruh. Selfie dikalangan sisiwi SMAN 1 Pinrang angkatan 2019 sudah menjadi kebiasaan yang terutama ketika menggunakan pose kepala miring. Kata Kunci :selfie, instagram, eksistensi diri, siswi SMAN 1 Pinrang 2 PENDAHULUAN Swafoto atau yang lebih dikenal dengan istilah selfie adalah salah satu ajang aktualisasi diri yang paling trend. Tidak hanya pada kawulah muda saja fenomena ini terjadi, namun yang telah berumur pun gemar melakukannya. Pelaku selfie pun tak terbatas gendernya. Namun hal ini lebih dominan dilakukan oleh wanita dengan berbagai pose. Pose selfie dengan memiringkan kepala sangat marak dilakukan. Menurut artikel ngehits.net survey membuktikan bahwa 7 dari 10 wanita kepalanya miring saat melakukan swafoto. Setiap orang memiliki sifat dan pemikiran yang berbeda-beda, begitu juga dengan rencana hidup memiliki tujuan yang berbeda pula. Tingkat kebutuhan masing masing ada yang sudah merasa cukup hanya sampai tingkat social needs

Beasley Dr. Stylianos Chatzimanolis Assistant Professor of Biology Guerry Professor of Biology Thesis Director Department Examiner Dr. David Aborn Associate Professor of Biology Department Examiner ABSTRACT The success of certain ant species in urban areas is largely unknown. Available food in the environment could affect the composition of ants in urban areas due to a possible relationship between ant physiology and diet. I tested the oil preference of ants as a function of available arthropod prey in urban environments. I hypothesized that as arthropod diversity decreased, ant abundance at oil baits would decrease. Oil is an important nutrient that can affect ant body functions and activities.

As most of the arthropod groups depend on West Bengal State University, Barasat, District- 24 Parganas, their sensory triggered responses, they are significantly found with the experimental bait. The study North, Kolkata, West Bengal, indicates that sensory dependent activity evolved within the arthropod groups, have a significant role in India their foraging activity. Keywords: Insect, sensory dependent response, foraging activity, sensory system. 1. Introduction Insect plays diverse role in ecosystem services (Gill et al. 2016) [1]. Sensory system guides them to collect food; it also helps in the assessment of habitat, searching for potential mates and other behavioural activities. Therefore, sensory system is crucial for its survival. It is important to understand the sensory dependant foraging behaviour of insect which plays a significant role in its evolutionary and developmental history (Stephens and Krebs, 1986) [2]. The antennae of insects bearing olfactory receptors varying a lot in shape and size between species. The principal termination sites within the insect brain of olfactory neurons housed in the antennae are the antennal lobes, structures that bear a strong morphological resemblance to [3, 4] vertebrate olfactory bulb (Masson and Mustaparta., 1990; Boeckh and Tolbert, 1993) .

  • Biology, Diet Preferences, and Control of the Dark Rover Ant
    BIOLOGY, DIET PREFERENCES, AND CONTROL OF THE DARK ROVER ANT BRACHYMYRMEX PATAGONICUS (HYMENOPTERA: FORMICIDAE) IN TEXAS A Dissertation by TONY CHRISTOPHER KEEFER Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Roger E. Gold Committee Members, Micky Eubanks Jeffrey K. Tomberlin Gary E. Briers Head of Department, David Ragsdale May 2016 Major Subject: Entomology Copyright 2016 Tony C. Keefer ABSTRACT The dark rover ant Brachymyrmex patagonicus has within recent years expanded its range in the United States and has become more prevalent in urban environments. This ant is an invasive species that is native to South America, and very little is known about it. Therefore, the research addressed the reproduction, foraging behavior, mechanical vector potential, food lure preference, and control of B. patagonicus. Field collected colonoids of B. patagonicus were utilized in this laboratory research and were placed in 15 cm petri dishes. The ants were held under constant environmental conditions for 4 months and number of eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults were documented. Results indicated that the optimal temperature for B. patagonicus is 30◦C and that development time is 33 d. Results of the laboratory foraging bioassays indicated that B. patagonicus will readily move the colony to be in close proximity of food and water. Data from these trials also solidified that foragers must be in contact with queen and brood in order to forage. Data from laboratory trials showed that B. patagonicus can vector E. coli to at least 2.0 m.

GUERRERO Grupo de Investigación en Insectos Neotropicales, Programa de Biología, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad del Magdalena, Carrera 32 # 22–08, Santa Marta, Magdalena, Colombia. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract This paper revises the taxonomy of Tapinoma melanocephalum (Fabricius, 1793) as follows: T. melanocephalum = Tapi- noma luffae (Kuriam, 1955) syn. nov., = Tapinoma melanocephalum coronatum Forel, 1908 syn. nov., = Tapinoma mel- anocephalum malesianum Forel, 1913 syn. nov. A neotype of Tapinoma melanocephalum (Fabricius, 1793) is designed here. Lectotypes of Tapinoma melanocephalum coronatum Forel, 1908 and T. melanocephalum malesianum Forel, 1913 are designated. Formica wallacei is proposed as a replacement name for Formica familiaris (= T. melanocephalum senior synonym). The worker, queen and male are redescribed and diagnosed. The morphological variability of populations is discussed. All castes are included in full color images. Key words: Cosmopolitan species, morphological variation, new synonymy, taxonomic stability, tramp species Introduction The ghost ant, Tapinoma melanocephalum (Fabricius, 1793) (Formicidae: Dolichoderinae), is one of the earliest described ant species. For more than two centuries, investigators have used body coloration as a diagnostic feature: black head, brown thorax paler below, pale abdomen (e.g. Nickerson & Bloomcamp 2012). However, this "diagnostic" characteristic does not strictly fit all populations throughout the wide distribution of the species.

Sci. 49(1): 30-43 (January 2014) Abstract The velvety tree ant, Limetopum occidentale Emery, is commonly found in urban ar- eas throughout the western U.S. and has been reported damaging structures. Foragers prefer sucrose, glucose, and honey sucanat solutions. Solid protein baits containing anchovy also were retrieved by workers. In the early summer, foragers were active both day and night. In the late summer when daytime temperatures exceeded 35°C, workers only foraged at night. Even though workers are polymorphic, they all consumed about 0.25 mg of a 25% sucrose solution and thus providing a mechanism of determining foraging activity by determining sugar water removal from monitoring stations. Liquid bait bases containing 25% sucrose would be effective if suitable toxi- cants can be identifi ed. Key Words velvety tree ant, bait preference, sucrose bait-base The velvety tree ant, Liometopum occidentale Emery (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), is commonly found along the coastal regions from southern Washington to northern Mexico (Del Toro et al. 2009, Snelling and George 1979, Hoey-Chamberlain et al. 2013, Dr. Laurel Hansen personal communication). This ant can be found at eleva- tions as low as 7 m in Oregon to over 1700 m in California (Dr. Laurel Hansen personal communication; personal collection). They are the most common and dominant ant in oak and pine forests of southwestern U.S. (Wheeler and Wheeler 1986, Ward 2005, Del Toro et al.
