European honey bee workers and drones showed consistent GC pat- terns. Race-specific similarities in GC patterns were present in Africanized workers and drones from Central and South America. Principal components analysis separated data from different races. Comb waxes reflected the genetic ancestry of the workers that produced that wax.

  • Comparing University Entomology Outreach Events While Examining Public Views of Arthropods and Pesticides
    Comparing University Entomology Outreach Events While Examining Public Views of Arthropods and Pesticides Stephanie Lynn Blevins Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Life Sciences In Entomology Michael J. Weaver, Chair Paul Marek Tonya Price August 23, 2018 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: Entomology, university outreach, public views, arthropods, pesticides Copyright © 2018 Stephanie Lynn Blevins Comparing University Entomology Outreach Events While Examining Public Views of Arthropods and Pesticides Stephanie Lynn Blevins Academic Abstract Hokie BugFest is an annual free event designed by the Entomology Department at Virginia Tech to translate the importance of entomology to the public. The event has grown from 2,000 attendees in 2011 to over 8,000 attendees in 2017. Entomology faculty, staff, graduate students and alumni partner with Virginia Cooperative Extension, Virginia 4-H, and other entities to provide an educational experience to the public. The goal of this outreach event is to showcase entomological research, increase public awareness, elevate the appreciation of entomology, develop better public perceptions of insects and other arthropods, and educate participants about pesticide safety and pest management practices. Although many institutions host entomology outreach events like Hokie BugFest (Frazier, 2002; Hamm & Rayor, 2007; Hvenegaard et al., 2013), little research has been conducted to compare the impact of these activities. Whether these events impact public attitudes toward insects and other arthropods is also lacking (Pitt & Shockley, 2014). Several studies have been conducted in other states to investigate public attitudes toward arthropods and pesticides (Baldwin et al., 2008; Byrne et al., 1984; Frankie & Levenson, 1978; Hahn & Ascerno, 1991; Potter & Bessin, 1998); however, research is missing in Virginia.

Sport racing - defined as getting from point A to point B before anyone else does - has probably been around for as long as Check out these humans. Sometimes people actually do the racing by running, books by Tom swimming or bicycling. Other times our participation is more in a Turpin: management role. Think about horse jockeys, racecar drivers or speedboat pilots. Finally, humans might train the racing animals Flies in the face but not actually participate in the race. Dog and pigeon races come of fashion to mind. What's Buggin You Now? In sport racing, and in most other sports for that matter, most human participation can be classified as that of spectator. This year, 19 horses and riders went to the post in the Kentucky Derby. There were 165,307 spectators on hand to watch the race. The Indianapolis 500 begins with 33 cars and drivers. There are no official attendance figures for the motor race dubbed the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing." Permanent seats exceed 267,000 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway where the race take place, and with additional infield seating available, it's safe to say that a lot of people attend the race.
