Abstract:

The article is dedicated to a review of the literary and personal communication of Soviet nature writers in the 1960s and 1980s. V. Bianki was the inspirer and literary teacher of this writing community, and his students were Leningrad authors who wrote about nature. V. Bianki referred to N. Sladkov as his heir in literature. The correspondence between N. Sladkov and the Kazakh naturalist writer M. Zverev provides material for the analysis of the artistic and philosophical attitudes of the authors who ranked themselves among the literary school of V. Bianki and also allows to understand not on

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper examines how communities of naturalists in mid-nineteenth-century Britain were formed and solidified around the shared practices of public meetings, the publication and reading of periodicals, and the making and printing of images. By focusing on communities of naturalists and the sites of their communication, this article undermines the distinction between amateur and professional scientific practice. Building on the notion of imagined communities, this paper also shows that in some cases the editors and illustrators utilized imagery to construct a specifically British natu

S. Nares RN. Feilden took part in several sledging journeys, and made important collections and observations, especially on the geology and biology of the region.

Abstract:

During the rise of professional biology in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, individual naturalists continued to develop private collections by modest means and often within their own homes. Despite the increasing opportunities for women to participate in the sciences, the number of women entomologists remained relatively few. The amateur entomological career of Alice Blanche Balfour, the younger sister of Arthur James Balfour, first Earl of Balfour, reveals how a confluence of personal and social factors shaped a gentlewoman's capacity to pursue her interests in natural history

Silvester Diggles, a gifted natural history artist and amateur naturalist with interests in entomology and ornithology, flourished in Australia in the third quarter of the nineteenth century. He wrote and illustrated (but published only in part) The ornithology of Australia (1865–1870) which appeared not long after John Gould's The birds of Australia (1840–1848). This paper examines Diggles' role as a bird artist, explores his standing as an ornithologist and seeks to unravel some of the complexities of his book in both published and unpublished components.

Yorkshire's Michael Clegg was a man who had a life-long love of nature wedded to a desire to communicate that passion.

In line with the nobility’s tradition, Grigory set out to create a “paradise” with exotic plants on his estate in the Ural city of Solikamsk. There is a widespread historiographic belief that Demidov’s fascination with botany emerged due to Georg Steller,

Abstract:

After the abolition of serfdom in Russia, amateur public organizations began to emerge to disseminate best agricultural practices among landowners. The emergence of such organizations was caused by the fact that Russian agriculture was very slowly being reorganized in a capitalist way. The problem was reflected in Russian society through the articles of scientific agronomists and naturalists. It was explained not only by the lack of means necessary for capitalist conversion, but also by the low culture offarming and the lack of necessary knowledge and skills. Agricultural societies that emerge

Cette contribution étudie la manière dont l’œuvre polymorphe de Robert Goffin, naturaliste et zoologiste belge qui, à la suite de son ami Maurice Maeterlinck, amateur d’abeilles, de termites et de fourmis, étudie les anguilles, les rats et les araignées (Le Roman des anguilles, 1936 ; Le Roman des rats, 1937 ; Le Roman de l’araignée, 1938). Dans Trilogie inhumaine, Goffin remet en cause la validité des classifications et des descriptions naturalistes qui, selon lui, ne permettent pas de percer le mystère de la vie animale, puisqu’elles ne sont apprises que superficiellement, par l’analyse de l

Numerous observations by amateur naturalists, together with some literature data and the malacological collection of the State Museum of Natural History in Lviv, helped to clarify the present ranges of two large and similar land snails, which were previously considered to be one species, Helix pomatia. It has been confirmed that the true H. pomatia is widespread in Ukraine, both within its probable natural range and due to anthropochory. The known range of H. thessalica extends in a rather narrow strip from the west to the east of the country. In Western Ukraine, it avoids both the mountainous

Abstract:

The article presents the analysis of realistic images in photography as a concept and phenomenon. The author considers realism as a method that allows creating recognition of the surrounding world in photographic images. Reality is understood as reality, which is technically possible to record with photographic equipment. Much attention is paid to the development of photographic technology and its influence on the idea of realism in photography. The point of view is given, according to which the realism of the photographic image is conditioned by the liberal-democratic progress of society: the

Abstract:

Community (or citizen) science, the involvement of volunteers in scientific endeavors, has a long history. Over the past few centuries, the contributions of volunteers to our understanding of patterns and processes in entomology have been inspiring. From the collation of large-scale and long-term data sets, which have been instrumental in underpinning our knowledge of the status and trends of many insect groups, to action, including species management, whether for conservation or control, community scientists have played pivotal roles. Contributions, such as pest monitoring by farmers and spec

Abstract:

AbstractChytridiomycosis is an emerging disease of amphibians that has led to global population declines and possible extinctions. Vectoring of the pathogen, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) by anthropogenic means is thought to be important in its spread. To limit further increase in the distribution of Bd, field biologists and amateur naturalists ought to disinfect their boots and materials. However, imprudent use of potentially harmful disinfectants may have unwanted negative side effects on amphibians. We used a factorial experiment to test whether commonly used disinfectants (bleach and

Abstract:

Tiger beetles are a popular group of insects amongst amateur naturalists, and are well-represented in museum and private collections. New species descriptions plateaued in the 19th century, but there is a recent resurgence of discoveries as integrative taxonomy methods, guided by molecular systematics, uncover “cryptic” tiger beetle diversity. In this paper, we describe a new species using multiple data types. This new species, Eunota mecocheila Duran and Roman n. sp., is in the tribe Cicindelini, and is described from specimens collected in saline muddy ditches in northern Mexico. This specie

How do civic educators and citizen communities co-construct access, interaction, and participation and bridge contributory and democratized citizen science? This study builds on interviews and observations with amateur naturalists, professional biologists, and public authorities about their participation in the Species Observations System (SO)—Norway’s largest citizen science (CS) project. Over more than twenty years, CS has been understood as either contributory (contributing with data) or democratized (emancipating the pursuit of science). Following these models, CS studies has develop

Abstract:

Carlisle Museum's Natural History Record Bureau, Britain's first local environmental records centre, collected and collated records, mainly of birds but including also mammals and fishes, from amateur naturalists. It initially covered an area of 80 kilometres around Carlisle, and later from Cumberland, Westmorland and the detached portion of Lancashire north of Morecambe Bay: in effect the modern-day county of Cumbria. At the end of each year, those records which had been accepted were logged in a special “Record Book”, and a summary published. For the first eight years of its ten-year existen
