Evaluation Of Terrestrial Carbon Cycle Models Through Simulations Of The Seasonal Cycle Of Atmospheric Co2: First Results Of A Model Intercomparison Study, Martin Heimann, Gerd Esser, A. Haxeltine, Jorg Kaduk, W. Knorr, Gundolf H. Kohlmaier, A. David Mcguire, Jerry M. Melillo, Berrien Moore Iii, R. D. Otto, I. Colin Prentice, Walter Sauf, Annette L. Schloss, Stephen Sitch, Uwe Wittenberg, G. Wurth

All Materials

Results of an intercomparison among terrestrial biogeochemical models (TBMs) are reported, in which one diagnostic and five prognostic models have been run with the same long-term climate forcing. Monthly fields of net ecosystem production (NEP), which is the difference between net primary production (NPP) and heterotrophic respiration RH, at 0.5° resolution have been generated for the terrestrial biosphere. The monthly estimates of NEP in conjunction with seasonal CO2 flux fields generated by the seasonal Hamburg Model of the Oceanic Carbon Cycle (HAMOCC3) and fossil fuel source fields were subsequently coupled to the three-dimensional atmospheric tracer transport model TM2 forced by …

Relationship Between Ecosystem Productivity And Photosynthetically-Active Radiation For Northern Peatlands, Steve Frolking, Jill L. Bubier, Tim R. Moore, T Ball, L M. Bellisario, A Bhardwaj, P Carroll, P Crill, P M. Lafleur, Harry Mccaughey, Nigel T. Roulet, Andrew E. Suyker, J M. Whittington, G J. Whiting

Earth Sciences

We analyzed the relationship between net ecosystem exchange of carbon dioxide (NEE) and irradiance (as photosynthetic photon flux density or PPFD), using published and unpublished data that have been collected during midgrowing season for carbon balance studies at seven peatlands in North America and Europe. NEE measurements included both eddy-correlation tower and clear, static chamber methods, which gave very similar results. Data were analyzed by site, as aggregated data sets by peatland type (bog, poor fen, rich fen, and all fens) and as a single aggregated data set for all peatlands. In all cases, a fit with a rectangular hyperbola …

A New Species Of Acmaeodera (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) From Big Bend National Park, Texas, With Synonymy For Other Species Occurring In The United States, Richard L. Westcott, William F. Barr

Insecta Mundi

Acmaeodera tiquilia Westcott and Barr, new species, from Big Bend National Park, Texas is described, figured, and discussed in considerable detail, particularly in relation to the similar and partially sympatric A. recticollis Fall. A neotype is designated for A. quatuordecimspilota Obenberger and that species is synonymized with A. ornata (Fabricius). Additionally, A. gibbula gila Knull is synonymized with A. gibbula LeConte; A. nautica Van Dyke is synonymized with A. simulata Van Dyke.

A Revision Of The Neotropical Predaceous Midges Of Brachypogon (Brachypogon) Kieffer (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), Gustavo R. Spinelli, William L. Grogan Jr.

Diagnoses are provided for previously described species, as well as a key for the …

Redescriptions, New Combinations, Synonymies, And New Records Of South American Lepturini (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lepturinae), Osvaldo Di Iorio

Insecta Mundi

Some Neotropical Lepturini are studied: Euryptera latipennis Audinet-Serville, 1828 (type species) redescription, Strangalia dimidiata (Redtenbacher, 1868) new combination (=Strangalia melanophthisis (Berg, 1889) new combination, new synonymy, and lectotype designation), Strangalia fulvicornis (Bates, 1872) new record from Argentina; Strangalia melanura (Redtenbacher, 1868) new combination from Brazil; Strangalia rubricollis (Bates, 1870) new record from Peru. "Leptura" bonariensis Burmeister, 1865 is not a true Leptura, being exotic for Argentina and for the Neotropical fauna; the type-specimen was mislabeled as coming from Buenos Aires. Elytral patterns, posterior tarsi, antennae, 5th apparent urosternite, and elytral apices of E. latipennis, and …

Biting Midges From Dominican Amber. Iii. Species Of The Tribes Culicoidini And Ceratopogonini (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), Ryszard Szadziewski, William L. Grogan Jr.

Insecta Mundi

The following 10 new species of biting midges are described and illustrated from Dominican amber: Culicoides (Oecacta) antilleanus, C. (0.) brodzinskyi, C. (0.) ambericus, C. (0.) hispanicolus, C. mammalicolus, Brachypogon (B.) americanus, B. (Isohelea) dominicanus, B. (Isohelea) pronainuloides, Stilobezzia (S.) antilleana and S. (Acanthohelea) dominicana. Two other species, in Nannohelea and Stilobezzia, are described but not named. Stilobezzia (Acanthohelea) wirthicola is a new name for Stilobezzia (A.) succinea Szadziewski from Miocene Saxonian amber, which is preoccupied by the extant Stilobezzia succinea Ingram and Macfie, from Argentina.

A New Potamobates Champion Species (Heteroptera: Gerridae) From Ecuador With New Distribution Records For P. Williamsi Hungerford, Anthony I. Cognato

Insecta Mundi

Abstract: Potamobates sumaco new species is described from the Ecuadorian Amazon. Male and female genitalia differentiate P. sumaco from a similar parapatric species, P. williamsi Hungerford.

A distribution map and revised key to Potamobates species are provided.

Resumen: Se describe Potamobates sumaco nueva especies del Amazonas Ecuatoriano. Los genitales del macho y la hembra distinguen P. sumaco de la especie mas cercana P. williamsi Hungerford. El analisis filogenetico indica que P. sumaco partenece a1 grupo P. tridentatus. Se …

Cse Style Manual And Requirements For Publication In Insecta Mundi, R. H. Arnett Jr., R. E. Woodruff

Insecta Mundi

The CSE quarterly journal, Insecta Mundi, is among the very few journals that have no page charges. Even so, the Center for Systematic Entomology is entirely financed through dues, subscriptions, and donations of cash, property, and time. We have found it necessary to make certain requirements for publication in the journal. (See also information on front inside cover of the journal.)

Book Review: Microscopic Anatomy Of Invertebrates, Harrison, Frederick W. (Editor) And Michael Locke., Ross H. Arnett Jr.

Insecta Mundi

Seldom does one have the opportunity (and honor) to review a work of the magnitude of this volume, 1 volume (in 3 parts) of a series of 15 volumes. Not being a specialist in microscopic anatomy, I cannot look for, or expect to find, errors. That was the job of the peer reviewers. Only extensive usage will determine whether or not they did their job.

Generic Definitions And Species Assignments In The Family Epipsocidae (Psocoptera), Edward L. Mockford

Insecta Mundi

The family Epipsocidae is defined, with the addition of one character not previously used. The genus Dimidistriata Li and Mockford is removed from Epipsocidae and tentatively placed in the family Dolabellopsocidae. The genus Parepipsocus Badonnel remains unplaceable to family. Eleven genera are recognized within Epipsocidae. Bertkauia Kolbe, which had been synonymized with Epipsocus, is recognized as a valid genus. Definitions of genera based on the type species and seemingly close relatives result in 38 new combinations. Epipsocus Hagen, which previously held most of the species, now serves a dual function, with 15 species in the strict sense and 15 …

Review Of The Family Bochicidae, With New Species And Records (Arachnida: Pseudoscorpionida), William B. Muchmore

Insecta Mundi

A history of the family is presented. All of the genera and species previously assigned to the family are reviewed, and 4 new species are described: Leucohya parva from Venezuela and Guyana, Mexobisium venii from Belize and Guatemala, M. dominicanum from the Dominican Republic, and Paravachonium sprousei from Mexico. Two subfamilies are established: Bochicinae (including the genera Antillobisium, Bochica, Troglobochica, Troglohya, and Vachonium) and Leucohyinae (including Apohya, Leucohya, Mexobisiurn, and Paravachonium).

Needed: One-Page Articles

Insecta Mundi

We often have several pages to fill in each issue of Insecta Mundi. This is due to the practice we follow of starting each full length article on the right hand page. This provides a better appearing separate. As logic will predict, about half of the articles end on a right hand page, thus leaving the last left hand page blank. A blank page in a scientific journal is the same as throwing away money! So, we scramble around trying to find something to fill these pages, often with little success: better to leave it blank some say.
