Aquatic Invertebrates by Functional Feeding Group The functional feeding group approach is an attempt to classify organisms, especially insects, according to their role in the processing of this organic matter. Tables 6C and 6D, in the 3rd edition of An Introduction to the Aquatic Insects of North America, present a more detailed explanation of the classification system. Quite often, an organism can be placed in more than one functional feeding category -- in this guide, when this occurs, the most important role is listed first. www.wlu.ca /~wwwbiol/bio305/Database/ffg.htm   (141 words)

All about Organic tea Included in the natural enemies category are insect predators (insects that consume part or all of pest insects), parasites (insects that use other insects to produce their offspring, thereby killing the pest insect in the process), and pathogens (diseases that kill or decrease the growth rate of insect pests). Predatory insects on organic farms include lady beetles, lacewings, and spiders. Parasitic insects include wasps and flies that lay their eggs in/on pest insects,such as larvae or caterpillars ( see biocontrol section under insect pest management part II) www.dtrdc.org /organic.htm   (141 words)

The Go/No-Go Association Task With the GNAT, experimenters can vary whether insects are evaluated in the context of a single category (flowers), a superordinate category (animals), a generic category (objects), or with no context at all. Second, the GNAT is flexible in the establishing of contextual characteristics for the evaluative situation. Through these experiments, the GNAT is shown to be an effective tool for assessing automatic preferences as well as resolving persistent questions that require independent measures of individual attitude objects while maintaining the advantages of response competition tasks. projectimplicit.net /nosek/gnat   (889 words)

Mantophasmatodea The last time a category of insects was described at this deep evolutionary level was in 1914 when the ice crawlers (order Notoptera), a small group of insects restricted to the northern hemisphere, were brought to the attention of the scientific world. Mantophasmatodea is a newly described, relict order of insects comprising a handful of species restricted to Africa. Specimens of Mantophasmatodea had in fact been collected in South Africa many years ago, mounted and housed in museum collections, but forgotten as they were misidentified as immature mantids (Order Mantodea). www.museums.org.za /bio/insects/mantophasmatodea   (365 words)

Discount Store News: Mass merchandising pet care - Food Merchandising for Non-Food Retailers supplement The chips, say discount store buyers, are appealing to pet owners because they give off a "fragrant' smell while simultaneously acting as a natural repellent against insects like fleas and ticks. Gray Drug, which was acquired recently by Rite Aid, tends to give the pet care category as much as 24 ft. in bigger stores, and managers say the category has grown to be either the second or third most profitable category in sundries, depending on the store. In these stores, the pet care department is generally regarded as a "convenience' to the shopper who is assumed to be more interested in prescriptions, health and beauty aids, over the counter drugs, and varying types of general merchandise consumables than they are in pet foods and pet accessories. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m3092/is_v26/ai_5274246   (1290 words)

Hurricane Danny -- An "Act of God"? As “Hurricane Danny”, though unusually early in the 1997 American hurricane season, was a mere “Category 1 storm”, its damage, destruction and death were small — though it disrupted the lives of millions in its potential path for days. Even a “Category 2 Storm” — or greater — could have required boarding up all the windows of a house, and many other precautions and worries which this mere “Category 1 Storm” did not elicit. Earthquakes, which I experienced in California, come with very little warning — though not only animals and insects can sense something strange before they occur. geocities.com /americanreflections/Hurricane_Danny-An_Act_of_God.html   (1822 words)

CNS: May 10, 2003: A bug's life: JFK Airport entomologists discover new insect species For the entomologists studying bugs at Kennedy Airport, examining insects and cataloguing them is an opportunity to appreciate the beauty in small things. To help the entomologists identify insects, they rely on a system called "taxonomic keys." These keys help them narrow down a species by pointing out specific characteristics about a bug until it leads them to the correct species. Although he does not place himself in this category, he admitted that most entomologists have little interaction with the outside world. www.jrn.columbia.edu /studentwork/cns/2003-05-10/185.asp   (505 words)

Advocate*Weekly Newspapers Summertimes 1999 - Crawling Cuisine And pound for pound, the giant water beetle beats 'em all in the nutritious-but-not-entirely-delicious category, with 19.8 grams of protein, 43.5 grams of calcium, and 13.6 grams of iron per serving. A recent issue of the Food Insects Newsletter states that 80 percent of the world eats insects intentionally, and 100 percent consume them unintentionally, so I guess we're going to have to take a new look at the gustatory possibilities inherent in our flying and crawling friends. Our Eurocentrism becomes apparent when we go down the list of societies where crawling cuisine is more traditional: Peruvians collect dryopoid beetles to be ground and used as peppery sauce; Mexicans in Guerrero eat stinkbugs, which are said to taste like mint or cinnamon; and throughout Africa, beetle grubs and caterpillars are a common repast. www.newmassmedia.com /summer99/bug2.html   (505 words)

classif It is important to realize that the only "real" category in the scheme of biological classification is the species- individual populations of organisms that are reproductively isolated from other such populations. Since plants, for example, are profoundly different, in terms of morphological characters, from animals, the criteria for what constitutes a genus, or any other category, must be different for plants and animals. Criteria that seem to work for insects, for example, may not be applicable to mammals, and so on across the scope of bio-diversity. taggart.glg.msu.edu /isb200/classif.htm   (554 words)

e3nomen In the Linnaean systematisc a category of discrete species is present; in the postlinnaean systematics discrete nature of species is grounded by presence of reproductive isolation between species and absence of reproductive isolation inside a species; correspondingly, in cases when this fenomenon is absent, a question about expediency of usage of species category is raised. But if we use more complete classification, where extinct Palaeozoic-Triassic insects are classified as well, we have two or more different taxa, each of which corresponds in its volume to the allowed volumes of Odonata and Orthomyaria. Linnaean and postlinnaean principles of systematics Linnaean principles of systematics represent a code of rules, which were distinctly formulated, but at the same time were not grounded or were grounded by reasons of convenience. www.famu.edu /acad/research/mayfly/kluge/e3nomenc.html   (711 words)
