The New World genus Trismegistomya Reinhard, 1967b (Diptera: Tachinidae) previously included only the type species Trismegistomyapumilis (Reinhard, 1967a) from Arizona, U.S.A. We describe a new species of Trismegistomya, Trismegistomyajimoharai Fleming & Wood sp...

John Stuart Mill once declared that Coleridge and Jeremy Bentham were the two creative minds in the English thought of their time. It was characteristic of Mill to take the impartial standpoint from which such dissimilar thinkers could be likened in originality and emin...

The Agrilus muscarius species-group (Coleoptera, Buprestidae, Agrilinae) is defined to include twenty-nine species, thirteen of which are described herein: A. apicaureus Jendek, sp. nov. (north Laos); A. carinelytratus Jendek, sp. nov. (mainland Malaysia); A. cuneatus J...

There are exponentially more species interactions than there are species - and this should entice us to be exponentially more careful when designing a data format to represent species interactions. The tradition in the analysis of species interaction networks was to sto...

Abstract The history of the classification of the Tachinidae (Diptera) is traced from Meigen to the present. The contributions of Robineau-Desvoidy, Townsend, Villeneuve, Mesnil, Herting, Wood and many others are discussed within a chronological, taxonomic, and geograph...

Megathrust earthquake sequences can impact buildings and infrastructure due to not only the mainshock but also the triggered aftershocks along the subduction interface and in the overriding crust. To give realistic ranges of aftershock simulations in regions with limite...

Nous présentons les résultats d’une recherche réalisée auprès de futurs enseignants de Zurich (Suisse) et basée sur une approche longitudinale comptant trois sessions de collecte de données. Pour ce faire, 153 étudiants d’une seule cohorte ont répondu à un questionnaire...

Viral infections kill millions of people and new antivirals are needed. Nontoxic drugs that irreversibly inhibit viruses (virucidal) are postulated to be ideal. Unfortunately, all virucidal molecules described to date are cytotoxic. We recently developed nontoxic, broad...

Efficient energy consumption is a challenging problem in wireless sensor networks especially close to the sink node, known as the energy hole problem. Various policies for recharging battery exhausted nodes have been proposed using special recharging vehicles. The focus...
