Under what conditions have people in the past come to arrange their domestic lives more intentionally, and what role have the sciences played in this process? To address this question, this essay examines the transformation of human homes into experimental sites for the study of animal behavior. Between 1880 and 1920, the “insectarium” became both a popular toy and a key tool for the scientific study of the social insects. At the same time, social change and feminist politics were calling into question bourgeois norms of domesticity. In this context, the enterprise of domestic entomology took the rigid, seemingly timeless idea of a “natural home” and transformed it into a research question: how malleable were insects’ home-making instincts? The essay argues that the idea of behavioral plasticity as it emerged in entomology circa 1900 reflected and informed an experimental, multispecies approach to human homemaking. In this way, the essay demonstrates the value of studying the history of science together with the history of private life.

Full textAbstract:
Jeanette Samyn, “Cruel Consciousness: Louis Figuier, John Ruskin, and the Value of Insects” (pp. 89–114) This essay examines two opposing theories of consciousness and value in relation to nineteenth century entomology. In The Insect World (1868), the French popularizer of science Louis Figuier extends consciousness to aesthetically unappealing and seemingly cruel insects such as parasites by attributing to them sociality and industry. With little recourse to theological or conventional moral standards, Figuier ascribes value to parasites—on account of their consciousness, which aligns their experience with human sentience, and also because of their role as environmental mediators. In this view, he subtly paves the way for a biocentric approach to the natural world that remains controversial today. John Ruskin, meanwhile, brings up popular entomology (epitomized, he says, by Figuier’s text) as a complicated counter to his own views on labor and aesthetics in his letters to the working men and women of England, Fors Clavigera (1871–84). Questioning the contemporary “instinct” for the study of parasites—and despite recent associations of Ruskin with ecological thought—Ruskin takes pains in these letters to uphold the difference between human and nonhuman life. In his efforts to limit consciousness to the most valuable and difficult of human labors, however, he engages seriously with the implications of proto-parasitological thought for human ethics.

Full textAbstract:
Molecular tools have been used in taxonomy for the purpose of identification and classification of living organisms. Among these, a short sequence of the mitochondrial DNA, popularly known as DNA barcoding, has become very popular. However, the usefulness and dependability of DNA barcodes have been recently questioned because mitochondrial pseudogenes, non-functional copies of the mitochondrial DNA incorporated into the nuclear genome, have been found in various taxa. When these paralogous sequences are amplified together with the mitochondrial DNA, they may go unnoticed and end up being analyzed as if they were orthologous sequences. In this contribution the different points of view regarding the implications of mitochondrial pseudogenes for entomology are reviewed and discussed. A discussion of the problem from a historical and conceptual perspective is presented as well as a discussion of strategies to keep these nuclear mtDNA copies out of sequence analyzes.

Full textAbstract:
Henry Walter Bates was born in Leicester, England, on 8 February 1825. Early in life he developed a keen interest in natural history in general, and in insects in particular. He met and befriended Alfred Russel Wallace, and in 1848 the two embarked on a collecting expedition to the Amazon Valley. They soon parted company and thereafter collected separately in different areas of Amazonia. Bates returned to England 11 years later, in 1859. He was quick to embrace Darwin's and Wallace's theory of evolution by natural selection, and was one of the first to back the theory with evidence from the natural world. A case in point was Bates's theory of mimicry, which now bears his name. In 1863, his popular book The Naturalist on the River Amazons was published. Bates took the post of Assistant Secretary at the Royal Geographical Society of London in 1864 and continued in that position until his death in 1892. During that period he produced in his spare time a prodigious number of publications in systematic entomology, mostly on Lepidoptera and Coleoptera. Many of his works were accompanied by insightful discussions of zoogeography, thus distinguishing Bates as one of the more remarkable and progressive systematists of his time.

Full textAbstract:
Lucy Evelyn Cheesman (1881-1969) was a key figure in 20th-century entomology. During both world wars, she used her fluency in German and her practical knowledge of remote New Guinea to assist allied governments; in between wars, she was the first female curator of the Insect House of the Royal Zoological Society. Her first research trip was to the Galápagos Islands (1923-1925) at age 42; her last was to Ane-ityum Island (Vanuatu) some 30 years later. She published scientific and popular literature until shortly before her death at the age of 88 and donated more than 70,000 specimens to the collections of the Natural History Museum. Many of these were new not only to the museum but also to science. In 1948, the museum's board of trustees made Evelyn an honorary associate, and her contribution to science was further recognized in 1955 with an Order of the British Empire. This article draws on the rich store of Cheesman's personal papers, held in the Library and Archives of the Natural History Museum, to place her work as an entomologist in a biographical framework. As a scientist, she was remarkable, and as a woman unwilling to accept age- or gender-based limitations, she is inspirational.

Full textAbstract:
Dr. Barnabás Nagy(1921–2020), a naturalist, orthopterologist, agrozoologist and forward-looking ecologist covered a rich scientific career. In commemoration of his significant contribution to entomology, we attempt to shed some light on a selection of his achievements. While devoted to his chosen insect order, Orthoptera, he was sensitive also to problems coming from everyday’s practice in controlling pests in agriculture. Consequently, he dealt with various pest species, belonging to a variety of insect taxa (Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera). He always put the actual problem in ecological context. This may have helped him to recognize the need for an ecological approach in plant protection and to develop the pioneering concept of biological / ecological pest management, published in Hungarian, as early as in 1957. When arguing for his concept, he criticized the surplus usages of toxic pesticides and provided guidelines for facilitating the beneficial activity of the natural enemies of pests. This way he prepared the way for integrated pest management (IPM), preceding the international mainstream of his age. He held an active part in the International Organization for Biological Control (IOBC), as a founder of the International Working Group of Ostrinia (IWGO), and was the Head of the Department of Zoology of the Plant Protection Institute, Budapest, Hungary. He held several positions in the Hungarian Entomological Society (President, vice-President, Secretary, committee member), to that society he was engaged for 80 years. Here we cite only some of his most important, original entomological papers. He regularly published also in journals for popular science and gave lectures for the young generations of entomologists.Curriculum vitae in a nutshell

Full textAbstract:
Philip Henry Gosse (1810–1888) was one of the most popular naturalists of the Victorian era. Not only is he recognized as the co-inventor of the marine aquarium, and for initiating the marine biology craze that swept England during the 1850s, but he is remembered for a series of popular natural history books that opened up a new field of scientific literature. Gosse is probably best known for his opposition to evolutionary theory, notably in his book Omphalos (1857), the publication of which was dramatically documented in his son's book Father and Son (1907). Yet what is most remarkable about Gosse is the fact that he was a completely self-educated naturalist. This paper examines his development as a naturalist during his stay in Newfoundland and Lower Canada, over the period 1827–38. In addition the books he produced during these years, namely the unpublished Entomologia Terrae Novae and The Canadian Naturalist, are reassessed and their importance in the development of Canadian science discussed. Finally, Gosse's religious development during these years is also examined in an attempt to understand the reasons behind his subsequent rejection of evolutionism.

ABSTRAK<br />Penanaman varietas tahan hama adalah salah satu cara pengendalian<br />serangga hama pengisap daun, A. biguttula, yang telah diadopsi petani<br />kapas di Indonesia. Penggunaan varietas tahan hama cukup efektif<br />menekan serangan hama pengisap ini. Namun demikian, peluang adanya<br />cara pengendalian alternatif patut dipertimbangkan, misalnya memanfaat-<br />kan faktor mortalitas biotik A. biguttula, seperti musuh alami. Penelitian<br />pengaruh varietas dan pola tanam kapas terhadap perkembangan populasi<br />predator hama pengisap daun A. biguttula telah dilakukan di Kebun<br />Percobaan Asembagus, Situbondo, dan di laboratorium Entomologi Balai<br />Penelitian Tanaman Tembakau dan Serat di Malang, mulai Januari sampai<br />Desember 2005. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari pengaruh<br />perbedaan varietas dan pola tanam kapas terhadap perkembangan predator<br />A. biguttula. Perlakuan terdiri atas dua faktor, yaitu faktor I adalah varietas<br />kapas dengan tingkat ketahanan terhadap A. biguttula berbeda-beda, yaitu:<br />(1) TAMCOT SP37 (peka), (2) Kanesia 7 (moderat), dan (3) LRA 5166<br />(tahan). Faktor II adalah pola tanam kapas, yaitu: (1) monokultur, dan (2)<br />tumpangsari dengan kedelai. Setiap perlakuan disusun secara faktorial<br />dengan rancangan petak terbagi (Split Plot) dengan tiga kali ulangan.<br />Parameter pengamatannya adalah populasi nimfa A. biguttula dan<br />predator. Di laboratorium dilakukan uji pemangsaan terhadap predator<br />terpilih dengan cara memberi umpan nimfa A. biguttula untuk mengetahui<br />kemampuannya memangsa per hari. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa<br />perbedaan tingkat ketahanan varietas terhadap A. biguttula mempengaruhi<br />perkembangan populasi kompleks predator. Lebih banyak predator<br />ditemukan pada TAMCOT SP37 dan Kanesia 7 dibanding pada LRA<br />5166. Sedangkan perbedaan pola tanam tidak menyebabkan perbedaan<br />populasi predator. Kapas monokultur maupun tumpangsari dapat<br />menyediakan lingkungan ideal bagi perkembangan kompleks predator.<br />Laba-laba dan Paederus sp. adalah predator yang populasinya lebih<br />dominan dibanding predator lainnya. Pada uji pemangsaan di<br />laboratorium, Paederus sp. mampu memangsa 15-25 nimfa A. biguttula<br />instar kecil dan 10-20 instar besar, sedangkan laba-laba per hari<br />memangsa 2-12 nimfa A. biguttula instar kecil dan besar.<br />Kata kunci: Kapas, Gossypium hirsutum, hama, Amrasca biguttula,<br />Paederus sp., nimfa, mortalitas biotik, varietas, pola tanam,<br />Jawa Timur<br />ABSTRACT<br />Effect of variety and cropping pattern of cotton on<br />population density of insect predator Amrasca biguttula<br />(Ishida)<br />Planting resistant variety of cotton is one of cultural method for<br />controlling sucking insect pest, A. biguttula. This method has widely been<br />applied by cotton farmers in Indonesia. Nevertheless, alternative control<br />should also be found to obtain better control of this pest, e.g. biological<br />control by using parasitoids and predators. Study on effect of variety and<br />cropping pattern of cotton to population density of insect predator of A.<br />biguttula was carried out at Asembagus Experimental Station and in<br />Entomology Laboratory of Indonesian Tobacco and Fiber Crops Institute<br />in Malang from January to December 2005. The objective of study was to<br />study the effect of variety and cropping pattern of cotton to population<br />density of insect predators. Treatment consists of two factors. The first<br />factor was cotton variety based on resistance to A. biguttula, viz.<br />TAMCOT SP37, Kanesia 7, and LRA 5166 known susceptible,<br />intermediate, and resistant to A. biguttula, respectively. The second factor<br />was cropping system with monoculture and intercropping with soybean.<br />Each treatments was arranged in Split Plot Design with three replications.<br />Parameter observed in field study were population of A. biguttula and its<br />predators. While, the laboratory study was to find out the daily prey<br />ability of selected predator by baiting nymph of A. biguttula.<br />The result showed that difference resistance of cotton variety<br />influenced the population density of insect predator. More insect predators<br />were found on TAMCOT SP37 and Kanesia 7 compared to LRA 5166,<br />while the density of insect predator was not affected by different cropping<br />pattern and it was due to the patterns provided better environment for<br />insect predator development. Spider and Paederus sp. were the dominant<br />insect predators found in the field because their population higher than<br />those other predators. Laboratory study showed that Paederus sp. preyed<br />15-25 younger and 10-20 older instar of nymph per day, while spider ate<br />2-12 nymphs of both age of A. biguttula per day.<br />Key words: Cotton, Gossypium hirsutum, pest, Amrasca biguttula,<br />Paederus sp., nymph, biotic mortality, variety, cropping<br />pattern, East Java

This thesis was focused on suitability of selected molecular markers for detection of genetic variability of four species from the family Calliphoridae important in the forensic entomology. A set of eight markers, both mitochondrial (COI, ND6, CytB, CR) and nuclear (RP S12, RP S13, RP L12, PB2), were applied on samples from natural populations of representative species (Calliphora vicina, Lucilia caesar, Lucilia sericata, Phormia regina) most common in the Czech Republic. Level of detected variability was evaluated and compared, both with respect to the particular species as well as their geographic origin.

Full textAbstract:
In order to analyze the inducible defense response of hybrid poplar (Populus trichocarpa x P. deltoides), macroarrays were used to profile transcript patterns elicited by wounding and by regurgitant from forest tent caterpillar (FTC; Malacosoma disstria), a poplar defoliator. FTC regurgitant proved to be a potent elicitor of defense gene expression and was shown to contain the insect-derived elicitor volicitin. Comparison of inducible defense responses elicited by FTC regurgitant and wounding with pliers revealed qualitatively similar responses in terms of transcript accumulation. Extensive overlap was also observed in the sets of induced genes from locally- and systemically-induced leaves. Systemic responses were further investigated and shown to also be inducible in roots, which implies shoot-root systemic signaling. Comparative macroarray analysis showed similarities between inducible responses in leaves and roots, including genes that encode previously identified leaf herbivore defense genes. The macroarray analysis also established a suite of marker genes for future studies of herbivore defense in poplar, many of which may play key roles in the defense response and are candidates for further study. Among these genes were several inducible Kunitz trypsin inhibitors (KTIs), which were investigated further with biochemical analyses. The sequenced poplar genome was used to select KTI genes that represent the diversity of this family. Recombinant proteins were generated and showed that the poplar KTI genes encode functional proteinase inhibitors and that they are functionally distinct, i.e. they
have specific proteinase substrate preferences. Moreover, wounding increases accumulation of KTI proteins, as well as protease inhibitor activity in leaves, supporting a defensive role for this protein family. These proteins were therefore tested for their ability to inhibit insect digestive proteases from FTC and bertha armyworm. The poplar KTIs tested all inhibited at least some protease activity from FTC midgut extracts. The strongest inhibitor of FTC proteases, TI3. was further tested in bioassays and shown to reduce larval growth of FTC when incorporated into insect diet. confirming that this KTI functions as an anti-herbivore protein. In addition, analysis of FTC midguts from T13 feeding experiments showed that larvae responded to TI3 by producing more gut proteases. This hyperproduction of proteases may exacerbate the antinutritive effects of TI3 by reducing pools of essential amino acids.

Full textAbstract:
The science of ecology has had a popular impact unlike that of any other academic field of research. Consider the extraordinary ubiquity of the word itself: it has appeared in the most everyday places and the most astonishing, on day-glo T-shirts, in corporate advertising, and on bridge abutments. It has changed the language of politics and philosophy— springing up in a number of countries are political groups that are self-identified as “Ecology Parties.” Yet who ever proposed forming a political party named after comparative linguistics or advanced paleontology? On several continents we have a philosophical movement termed “Deep Ecology,” but nowhere has anyone announced a movement for “Deep Entomology” or “Deep Polish Literature.” Why has this funny little word, ecology, coined by an obscure nineteenth-century German scientist, acquired so powerful a cultural resonance, so widespread a following? Behind the persistent enthusiasm for ecology, I believe, lies the hope that this science can offer a great deal more than a pile of data. It is supposed to offer a pathway to a kind of moral enlightenment that we can call, for the purposes of simplicity, “conservation.” The expectation did not originate with the public but first appeared among eminent scientists within the field. For instance, in his 1935 book Deserts on the March, the noted University of Oklahoma, and later Yale, botanist Paul Sears urged Americans to take ecology seriously, promoting it in their universities and making it part of their governing process. “In Great Britain,” he pointed out, . . . the ecologists are being consulted at every step in planning the proper utilization of those parts of the Empire not yet settled, thus . . . ending the era of haphazard exploitation. There are hopeful, but all too few signs that our own national government realizes the part which ecology must play in a permanent program. Sears recommended that the United States hire a few thousand ecologists at the county level to advise citizens on questions of land use and thereby bring an end to environmental degradation; such a brigade, he thought, would put the whole nation on a biologically and economically sustainable basis.

For farmers, identifying pests present in crops as well as their natural enemies, without the aid of teaching materials, is of great difficulty. Moreover, the lack of interactive tools to study subjects related to Entomology in academia is a fact. Seeking an alternative to such problems, this article presents the TheBug, mobile software that aims to assist farmers and the academic community by facilitating the identification of pests and natural controlling agents present in crops, without the need to connect to the network, and make the study of the disciplines of entomology and biology practical and dynamic at the fundamental, medium and higher levels. Through the application, at no additional cost, it is possible to obtain information about various species of the Hexapoda subphylum, such as physical characteristics, popular or scientific name, main impact on crops and possible forms of control.
