  • Ecosystem Services Provided by the Little Things That Run the World
    Chapter 13 Ecosystem Services Provided by the Little Things That Run the World Olga Maria Correia Chitas Ameixa,Chitas Ameixa, António Onofre Soares,Onofre Soares, Amadeu M.V.M. SoaresM.V.M. Soares and andAna AnaI. Lillebø I. Lillebø Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.74847 Abstract Highest extinction risk and consequently biodiversity loss are predicted to occur in inver- tebrates, specifically insects, and these declines are expected to cascade onto ecosystem functioning and human well-being. Although this knowledge is intrinsically present in more traditional communities, in more urban environments, mapping ecosystem ser - vices can be an important tool to raise people’s awareness on the importance of pre - serving insect diversity. After an extensive revision of the available literature, we used a rule-based approach to assess the provisioning, regulating and maintenance, and cul - tural services delivered by insects. We followed the Common International Classification of Ecosystem Services (CICES) and identified several potential indicators that may help underpin the mapping and valuation of the services delivered by insects. From our search, we extracted a total of 73 indicators, divided as 17 Provisional indicators, 27 Regulation and Maintenance indicators, and 29 Cultural indicators. We concluded that insects are providers of services in the three major ‘Sections’ of ecosystem services defined by CICES. Despite the lack of recognition of provisioning and cultural services, the indicators provided may help to raise awareness on the importance of the little things the run the world, in order to preserve traditional and technological uses of insects and their services.

  • Cultural Significance of Termites in Sub-Saharan Africa Arnold Van Huis
    van Huis Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2017) 13:8 DOI 10.1186/s13002-017-0137-z RESEARCH Open Access Cultural significance of termites in sub-Saharan Africa Arnold van Huis Abstract Background: The number of termite species in the world is more than 2500, and Africa with more than 1000 species has the richest intercontinental diversity. The family Termitidae contains builders of great mounds up to 5 m high. Colonies are composed of casts: a queen, a king, soldiers and workers. Some species of termite cultivate specialised fungi to digest cellulose. Termites constitute 10% of all animal biomass in the tropics. The purpose of the study was to make an overview of how termites are utilized, perceived and experienced in daily life across sub-Saharan Africa. Method: Ethno-entomological information on termites (Isoptera) in sub-Saharan Africa was collected by: (1) interviews with more than 300 people from about 120 ethnic groups from 27 countries in the region; (2) library studies in Africa, London, Paris and Leiden. Results: Vernacular names relate to mounds, insects as food, the swarming, and the behaviour of termites. Swarming reproductive, soldiers and queens are collected as food. There are many different ways to harvest them. Termites can also be used as feed for poultry or as bait to catch birds and fish. The mushrooms that grow each year from the fungus gardens on the termite mounds are eaten. The soldiers, the fungus gardens and the soil of termite mounds are used for multiple medicinal purposes. Mounds and soil of termites have numerous functions: for geochemical prospecting, making bricks, plastering houses, making pots, and for storage.

Research Ideas and Outcomes 7: e68056. https://doi.org/10.3897/rio.7.e68056 Abstract Entomological postage stamps are unique means of communication of science with the public and have been suggested as effective teaching tools in primary and secondary education. A survey of the taxonomic and other information contained on insect- and arachnid-themed stamps issued globally from 1891 to 2020 reveals that 30% of these stamps contain various errors and are scientifically unreliable. In addition, representations of insects are highly biased towards only two orders (Lepidoptera and Odonata), while other mega-diverse orders (e.g. Coleoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera) are poorly represented or not represented at all. This phenomenon can negatively affect public perception of priorities in biodiversity and conservation. Standardization of taxonomic information on entomological stamps and implementation of rigorous quality control measures are encouraged to assure dissemination of accurate scientific information.

Equally impressive is the number of beliefs and superstitions the industrious insect has inspired. Hilda Ransome's wel No creature has provided man with so much wholesome food as the honey bee. Hilda The Sacred Bee in Ancient Times and Folklore well-documented and copiously illustrated study of bees focuses on this valuable byproduct of nature and its creator — the "sacred" bee. Chapters cover the folklore of bees and bee culture — from Egyptian, Babylonian, Chinese, Hittite, and other ancient sources as well as practices in modern England, France, and Central Europe. Thirty-five plates of rare black-and-white illustrations depict bees, hives, and beekeepers as they appear in ancient paintings and sculpture, on coins, jewelry, and Mayan glyphs; and carved into African tree trunks. Folk stories from Finland and the bee in America are also described. Hailed by The New York Times as possessing an "oddity, beauty, and broad scholarly interest," this unusual book will attract a wide audience — nature lovers and folklore enthusiasts included.

  • {TEXTBOOK} the Behaviour of Moths Ebook Free Download
    THE BEHAVIOUR OF MOTHS PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Poppy Adams | 320 pages | 02 Jul 2009 | Little, Brown Book Group | 9781844084883 | English | London, United Kingdom Why moths matter The fall leaves Vivi unable to have children; another catalyst for the events which unfold. And so it ambles on, with secrets gradually becoming exposed, and the relationship between the sisters coming to light. But I was unconvinced. And not just because it was set near Crewkerne, close by where I live in Somerset — which Adams claims is in Dorset, and has a bowling alley. No, the reason I was unconvinced is because The Behaviour of Moths tries to do the unreliable narrator thing, but it all comes in a huge rush with a big twist towards the end. All the details about moths are doubtless engaging, but they seem to have taken the place of a coherent narrative arc. I found the whole thing… how shall I put it… quite bland. The style is almost ubiquitous across novels of this type — and though there were Gothicky elements especially in the depiction of the house which impressed and set the novel a bit apart, for the most part The Behaviour of Moths was a common-or-garden specimen. Not a bad novel by any means, and passes the time adequately, but could have been so much better. And link to my thoughts on them, naturally…. This is my book group's choice for next month! I was excited about it but now I shall manage my expectations accordingly after your review. I had feared the gothic pastiche would wear thin.
