Taxonomy and identification of Lohora Moore (Lepidoptera : Satyrinae), the Sulawesi bush browns
No full textA dichotomous key and revisional notes are presented for all 17 known species of Lohora Moore, a genus of satyrine butterflies endemic to the Sulawesi Region (Indonesia). Detailed information on primary type material of all taxa is included, together with description of a new species, L. anna, from Lore Lindu National Park previously misidentified in the literature as L. deianira (Hewitson). The recognition of some species, notably a complex centred on L. transiens (Fruhstorfer) that includes L. anna, sp. nov., is difficult and the rank of certain other taxa is problematic. A detailed revision remains necessary if this, the major endemic radiation of butterflies on Sulawesi, is to be better understood
The butterfly fauna of the Noyau Central, Lama Forest (Republic of Benin), with notes on its ecological composition and geographic distribution
No full textThe Noyau Central (c. 4777 ha) in south-central Benin is the largest remaining natural forest within the Dahomey Gap. Based on field work conducted in 1998, a preliminary list of 83 butterfly species is presented for this largely unknown core area of the Lama Forest. Forty butterfly species were documented for the first time in Benin. Forty-one are true lowland forest specie, not found in savanna. Overall species richness was higher in clearings, than in closed forest. However, a high proportion of forest species, especially those with a more restricted geographic range, were exclusively captured in the forest patches. Because other forest areas in Benin are much smaller, the Noyau Central is likely to contribute critically to the conservation of the country's butterfly fauna

No full textWe evaluated enterovirus D68 seroprevalence in Kansas City, Missouri, USA, from samples obtained during 2012-2013. Neutralizing antibodies against Fermon and the dominant 2014 Missouri isolate were universally detected. Titers increased with age. Widespread circulation of enterovirus D68 occurred before the 2014 outbreak. Research is needed to determine a surrogate of protection
