Abstract:

Outreach insect drawers serve as valuable educational tools, showcasing insect diversity and fostering curiosity. However, these static displays often fail to bridge the emotional gap between people and insects. Here, I discuss how by incorporating live insects, namely male bumble bees and carpenter bees, into outreach events might help to reduce fear and foster empathy amongst the public. I argue that, by integrating live insects with traditional displays, we can inspire deeper connections and encourage conservation efforts, ensuring that people see insects as living organisms worth protectin

Abstract:

Over the past two decades, natural history collections (NHCs) have played an increasingly prominent role in global change research, but they have still greater potential, especially for the most diverse group of animals on Earth: insects. Here, we review the role of NHCs in advancing our understanding of the ecological and evolutionary responses of insects to recent global changes. Insect NHCs have helped document changes in insects' geographical distributions, phenology, phenotypic and genotypic traits over time periods up to a century. Recent work demonstrates the enormous potential of NHCs

Abstract:

The previous species list of South African Mantodea, published in 1998, was largely compiled from the literature and did not incorporate data from the many insect museum collections available in the country. It is estimated that approximately 120 species of Mantodea occur in South Africa; however, since no historical museum records were previously incorporated, the current information is considered to be outdated and not a true reflection of the Mantodea fauna within this region. A checklist of species is an important benchmark for any insect group, especially in light of the worldwide decline

Abstract:

Digitisation of natural history collections draws increasing attention. The digitised specimens not only facilitate the long-term preservation of biodiversity information but also boost the easy access and sharing of information. There are more than two billion specimens in the world's natural history collections and pinned insect specimens compose of more than half of them (Tegelberg et al. 2014, Tegelberg et al. 2017). However, it is still a challenge to digitise pinned insect specimens with current state-of-art systems. The slowness of imaging pinned insects is due to the fact that they are

Abstract:

New innovations are needed to speed up digitisation of insect collections. More than one half of all specimens in scientific collections are pinned insects. In Europe this means 500-1,000 million such specimens. Today's fastest mass-digitisation (i.e., imaging) systems for pinned insects can achieve circa 70 specimens/hour and 500/day by one operator (Tegelberg et al. 2014, Tegelberg et al. 2017). This is in contrast of the 5,000/day rate of the state-of-the-art mass-digitisation systems for herbarium sheets (Oever and Gofferje 2012).

Mounting evidence shows that species interactions may mediate how individual species respond to climate change.

Insects are possibly the most taxonomically and ecologically diverse class of multicellular organisms on Earth. Consequently, they provide nearly unlimited opportunities to develop and test ecological and evolutionary hypotheses.

These data are typically highly heterogeneous and widely scattered among many sources, which makes developing robust information systems to aggregate and disseminate

Francis Willughby and John Ray were at the forefront of the natural history of insects in the second half of the seventeenth century. Willughby in particular had a deep interest in insects' metamorphosis, behaviour and diversity, an interest that he passed on to his friend and mentor Ray. By examining Willughby's contributions to John Wilkins's Essay towards a Real Character (1668) and Ray's Methodus insectorum (1705) and Historia insectorum (1710), which contained substantial material from Willughby's manuscript history of insects, one may reconstruct how the two naturalists studied insects,

Abstract:

A preliminary list of non-indigenous scale insect species on ornamental plants in Bulgaria and China is presented. The sampling was done between April and November, 2009, in the framework of the project “Invasive scale insects on ornamental plants in Bulgaria and China”. The insects were collected in nurseries, parks, gardens, botanical collections and greenhouses. Representatives from four families have been identified in Bulgaria, the most numerous of which are the Diaspididae (eight species), Coccidae (four species), Pseudococcidae (two species) and Margarodidae (one species). Three species

Abstract:

The Swedish entomologist, Karl-Johan Hedqvist (1917–2009) described 261 species of insects, 260 species of Hymenoptera and one of Coleoptera, plus 72 genera and a small number of family-level taxa. These taxa are catalogued and the current depositories of the types are listed, as well as some brief notes on the history of the Hedqvist collection. We also discuss some issues that can arise when type-rich specimen collections are put on the commercial market.

Abstract:

Climate warming is likely to change the ways in which plants interact with their insect mutualists, for example through changes in phytochemistry. In particular, this may have implications for the ways in which we manage noxious weeds, which may spread more quickly if they experience stronger mutualistic interactions. We grew the invasive nodding thistle, Carduus nutans, in two experimental treatments in the field: either passively warmed with open top chambers or at ambient temperatures. We collected pollen from thistles in each treatment and analysed the total protein, lipid, and carbohydrat

John Curtis died in 1862 after which his then wife sold his insect collections to the National Museum of Victoria. The collections were placed in zinc-lined cabinets and sailed to Australia where they remain. In December 2019, SF was able to examine the specimens of Auchenorrhyncha, Cicadellidae, Eurymelinae, Idiocerini within the Curtis collection enabling confi rmation of their identification. The identity of Idiocerus maculicollis Curtis is established for the first time.

A big part of this composition is available in the collections of Natural History Museums, being essential for researches and diffusion actions involving a specialized and lay public. This paper aimed to verify the importance of an entomological exhibition of a Science museum for the acquisition of new knowledge and conception change regarding insects. To this end, 128 fourth-graders from elementary school were asked to draw an insect and write a brief description of it in relation to their knowledge about insects. Then, the

Insects play a major role in ecosystems but are yet threatened by habitat destruction, intensive farming, and climate change. Museum collections around the world house millions of insect specimens and large-scale digitization initiatives, such as the digitization street digitize! at the Museum für Naturkunde, have been undertaken recently to unlock this data.

If you have watched <em>A Bug's Life</em>, you would have seen that insects come in an assortment of colours, shapes, and sizes. They are the perfect organism that could be used to describe the myriad diversity of all life on earth. These six-legged creatures are one of the most diverse groups of species, accounting for more than 80% of all documented living animals Ødegaard 2008. This huge diversity also makes it extremely time- and labour-intensive to carry out large-scale monitoring of insects.
