Teuchothrips ater Girault
No full textTeuchothrips ater (Girault) Liothrips ater Girault, 1927 a: 2 Androthrips niger Girault, 1927 a: 2 Teuchothrips bursariicola Priesner, 1928: 647 Teuchothrips pittosporiicola Bagnall, 1929: 191. syn.n. Smerinthothrips fuscipennis Moulton, 1968: 93 - 4 Teuchothrips ater (Girault); Mound & Houston, 1987: 17 This is interpreted as a structurally variable, polyphagous species. It is a minor pest in eastern Australia, inducing deformation of, and producing substantial colonies on, the apical leaves of Pittosporum undulatum (Fig. 2), both in gardens and in forests. In South Australia it has been found inducing leaf rolls on Pittosporum phylliraeoides, and cultivated varieties of this plant have also been damaged by this thrips near Perth in Western Australia. It is recorded below forming substantial colonies on the external surfaces of galls that were induced by Neocecidothrips curviseta on Auranticarpa rhombifolia (Pittosporaceae). Although recorded in association with the common shrub, Bursaria spinosa, another member of the Pittosporeaceae, and taken in leaf galls on several other plants, including Geijera (Rutaceae), on these plants it is possibly a kleptoparasite within galls that have been induced by other thrips. Adults vary in size within populations, and sometimes vary between populations in the form of the apices of the setae on the ninth tergite. The single specimen from which Girault described ater is a female, collected from Eucalyptus at Melbourne, the single specimen from which he described niger came from southern Queensland on brigalow (Acacia harpophylla), and Moulton’s description of fuscipennis was based on three females from Port Lincoln, South Australia, with no host association. In contrast, Bagnall described the species from both sexes taken on Pittosporum leaves at Sydney, and Priesner described bursariicola from both sexes taken on Bursaria spinosa at Healesville in Victoria. The synonymy of nigronympha Girault indicated by Mound & Houston (1987) is now recognised as incorrect (see connatus below). Mound (1968) indicated that in pittosporiicola the S 1 and S 2 setae on tergite IX have acute apices, but that these setae in the type specimens of bursariicola have their apices “softly pointed or weakly expanded”. Moreover, South Australian specimens from Pittosporum phylliraeoides were identified as bursariicola on this character. Specimens collected recently from P. phylliraeoides in Western Australia also have these setae distinctly expanded, thus a possibility remains that the form on P. phylliraeoides represents a different species from the one with finely acute setae on P. undulatum. However, the name niger would have priority over bursariicola, because the male type of niger has tergite IX setae S 1 and S 2 with expanded apices. Because, within some populations, the form of the setal apices is variable from softly pointed to weakly capitate, the niger form is here considered to be the same species as the ater form in which the setae are finely acute. Despite extensive searching, this species has not been taken by the present author from Bursaria. One sample of both sexes with tergite IX setae finely acute has been studied that bears the data “ Geijera salicifolia, Mullaley, NSW ”, but that host plant record is almost certainly incorrect as G. salicifolia does not occur so far west of the Great Dividing Range as Mullaley.Published as part of Mound, Laurence A., 2008, Identification and host associations of some Thysanoptera Phlaeothripinae described from Australia pre- 1930, pp. 41-60 in Zootaxa 1714 on pages 47-49, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18098
« J’ai tout fait avec retard et à l’envers » : un parcours intellectuel avec Élisabeth Lebovici
No full textIn July 2022, in the library of the Centre d'histoire et Théorie de l'Art, the journal’s team discussed the intellectual history of the laboratories that founded it (CEHTA, LAS, GAHOM-ALHOMA, ANHIMA). Giorgio Fichera, Clémentine Girault and Clovis Maillet met Élisabeth Lebovici, who had attended Hubert Damisch's seminars before moving to New York and becoming an art critic and author. The discussion focused on the intellectual paths of the 1980s and the reasons for the non-encounter between feminist and post-structuralist theories
Un milieu libéral et européen
No full textIssu d’une thèse de doctorat soutenue sous la direction du professeur René Girault, fondé sur l’exploitation d’archives privées inédites, cet ouvrage apporte une contribution originale à l’histoire des débuts de la construction européenne. Réflexion croisée sur un syndicalisme patronal méconnu, celui du grand commerce intérieur français et sur les formes d’organisation de l’Europe qu’il a soutenues, il met au jour les facettes multiples d’un « milieu » qui, au-delà du secteur commercial, comprend les cercles administratifs, politiques, culturels concernés par la défense des intérêts de ce secteur, « milieu » structuré par une même identité libérale et européenne. D’une après-guerre à l’autre on assiste au combat pugnace mené pour la réhabilitation de la fonction commerciale et la reconnaissance institutionnelle de tout un secteur, longtemps en marge du monde patronal, à la résistance inattendue d'un modèle libéral classique d’organisation de l’économie et de la société, à I'unification des mouvements européens de la mouvance libérale qui s'opère non sans quelques reclassements et luttes intestines. « Grâce au livre de Laurence Badel nous passons d’une histoire plutôt mythique des origines de la construction européenne à une histoire vraie du passé " européen " faite par des hommes préoccupés et inspirés par la vie quotidienne de leurs entreprises. Ce n'est pas un mince mérite » René GiraultBased on a doctoral thesis defended under the supervision of Professor René Girault, for which the author used private unpublished archives, this work provides an original contribution towards the history of the origins of the building of Europe. A discussion which looks at all sides of a little-known federative movement amongst employers, that created by leading French domestic retailers and the forms of organisation within Europe which it supported, this work sheds light on the multiple facets of a ‘milieu’ which, extending beyond the commercial sector, included the government and political and cultural circles concerned to protect the interests of that sector, a ‘milieu’ built around the same free-market and European identity. From one post-war period to the next, we can see how they fought fiercely to rebuild the commercial sector and for the institutional recognition of an entire sector which had for a long time been marginalised from the world of employers federations. We witness the unexpected strength of the classical free-market model for the organisation of the economy and society and the unification of the free-market European movements, which occurred not without some reclassifications and internal struggles. ‘Thanks to Laurence Badel’s book, we can move on from the somewhat mythical history of the origins of the building of Europe, to a real history of the past: Europe built by men concerned for and inspired by the everyday life of their businesses. This is no mean feat.’(René Girault).Una tesis doctoral defendida bajo la dirección del profesor René Girault y basada en la utilización de archivos privados hasta ahora inéditos es el punto de partida de esta obra que hace una aportación original a la historia de los inicios de la construcción europea. Reflexión cruzada sobre un sindicalismo patronal mal conocido, el del gran comercio interior francés, y sobre las formas de organización de Europa que éste defendió, el libro arroja luz sobre las múltiples facetas de un “ecosistema” que, más allá del sector puramente comercial, abarca las esferas administrativas, políticas y culturales concernidas por la defensa de los intereses de este sector, “ecosistema” articulado por una misma identidad liberal o europea. De una posguerra a otra asistimos a la lucha pugnaz que se libra por la rehabilitación de la función comercial y el reconocimiento institucional de todo un sector largo tiempo al margen del mundo patronal, a la resistencia inesperada de un modelo liberal clásico de organización de la economía y la sociedad, a la unificación de los movimientos europeos de la corriente liberal que se efectúa no sin ciertas reconversiones y luchas internas. “Gracias al libro de Laurence Bade, pasamos de una historia más bien mítica de los orígenes de la construcción europea a una historia real del pasado europeo hecha por hombres preocupados e inspirados por la vida cotidiana de sus empresas, lo cual no es flaco mérito” (René Girault).Le Comité pour l’histoire économique et financière est présidé par le ministre de l’Économie, des Finances et de l’Industrie, son vice-président est Maurice Lévy-Leboyer. a.

On the non-convergence of energy intensities: evidence from a pair-wise econometric approach
No full textThis paper evaluates convergence of energy intensities for a group of 97 countries in the period 1971-2003. Convergence is tested using a recent method proposed by Pesaran (2007) [M.H. Pesaran. A pair- wise approach to testing for output and growth convergence. Journal of Econometrics 138, 312-355.] based on the stochastic convergence criterion. Main advantages of this method are that results do not depend on a benchmark against which convergence is assessed, and that it is more robust. Applications of several unit-root tests as well as a stationarity test uniformly reject the global convergence hypothesis. Locally, for Middle-East, OECD and Europe sub-groups, non-convergence is less strongly rejected. The introduction of possible structural breaks in the analysis only marginally provides more support to the convergence hypothesis.Energy intensity, pair-wise test, unit-root test, stationarity test, structural break, convergence

Fore wing (Figs 126–128, 143– 147) hyaline; marginal vein not thickened and about 1.3–2.2× length of stigmal vein and about 1.0–1.5× length of postmarginal vein; stigma small, not distinctly capitate; costal cell comparatively narrow, without setae dorsally but variably setose ventrally, usually with 1 or 2 rows of setae within at most about apical third but some Neotropical species with 1 or 2 setae also basally or rarely setose along length; basal cell, basal fold and mediocubital fold usually bare but some Neotropical species with setae on basal fold or apically within basal cell (Fig. 147); disc ventrally usually with 1 transverse or 2 irregular or partial rows of admarginal setae that often are longer than dorsal discal setae (Fig. 146), though sometimes in up to 3 or 4 partial rows (Fig. 145) and/or not noticeably longer than dorsal setae or hyaline and then less conspicuous in some species (Fig. 144); disc dorsally usually uniformly setose beyond speculum (Figs 143, 147), but rarely setae reduced in density and length and then sometimes marginal fringe absent (Fig. 144); speculum usually extending to level about equal with middle of stigmal vein such that admarginal setae completely exposed (Figs 127, 128, 143– 146) though some species south of USA with discal setae partly to completely (Fig. 147) overlying admarginal setae behind marginal vein. Metapleuron at least partly smooth and shiny and with anterior margin raised at least slightly above level of posterior margin of mesopleuron, but otherwise variable, sometimes only slightly angulate anteromesally and then margin variably distinctly sculptured (Figs 114 –116, 137, 138) or with margin uniformly curved and smooth and then either recurved outward at abrupt angle relative to mesopleuron (Figs 141, 142) or with convex surface extending variably conspicuously over posterior margin of mesopleuron (Figs 48, 139, 140). Metacoxa bare dorsobasally; metatibia with single tibial spur. Propodeum with vertical carina or angulation posterolaterally (cf. Fig. 103: arrow 1), the ridge extending through furrow that differentiates metacoxal flange above metacoxa and in dorsal view variably distinctly angulate so as sometimes to project posteriorly to posterolaterally as short denticle (Fig. 151); with Λ-shaped to transverse-rectangular, coriaceous-reticulate nucha, the furrow delineating nucha without longitudinal carinae except usually for posterior continuation of median carina and sometimes plical carinae; plica at least indicated by outer margin of anterolateral plical depression and often with plical carina within nuchal furrow or variably conspicuous, sinuate convexity or carina posterior of depression (Figs 151–154); paraspiracular region without transverse carina; median region meshlike coriaceous-reticulate, usually convex and often with transverse carina crossing median carina, hence often appearing +-like (Figs 151, 152) or more distinctly raised medially so as to be transversely angulate and sometimes with angulation (Figs 123, 124) extending partly or entirely between plica and median carina at about midlength to differentiate variably distinctly concave anterior panel from posterior convex panel, though angulation not distinctly carinate (cf. Figs 158, 160). Gaster of female (Figs 119–122) variably elongate-lanceolate with hypopygium extending at most about twothirds length of gaster; gaster of male usually with pale or at least lighter brown region basally; petiole very short, transverse, smooth and shiny, and not braced ventrally by extension of first gastral sternite; cercal setae all of similar length. Distribution. New World. Hosts. See Noyes (2012) for included species listed above. Generic synonymy. Girault (1913 a) stated that the minutien-pinned holotype of E. americana lacked the gaster and had the head, hind legs and antennae on a slide. I did not examine the parts on the slide, but did examine the remaining mesosoma of the holotype (Fig. 117). The left hind wing, apex of the left fore wing, and both right wings are missing, as are the legs except for the left front and middle legs. The original description states that it was “olive green, the abdomen and metathorax metallic”, but the thorax and propodeum medially are black and there is only a very slight greenish lustre elsewhere. The colour of the tegula and remaining legs is as described, though the “brown” femora may have faded over time, in particular the mesofemur being only slightly darker, more orange than brown. The metapleuron has only a comparatively small smooth and shiny region anteromesally, being quite distinctly reticulate dorsally, posteriorly and ventrally, with the anterior margin angulate and raised only very slightly above and over the posterior margin of the mesopleuron (Fig. 118). The propodeum has distinct plical carinae extending posteriorly to the nucha and a slightly sinuate, fine but complete, ridge-like costula dividing the plical region into anterior and posterior panels (Fig. 123). Although artefacts obscure setal pattern of the remaining left fore wing, the speculum extends to about the basal third of the stigmal vein (single broken seta within speculum near apex of marginal vein) and the dorsal discal setae are not reduced in length or density. There are 17 admarginal setae (Fig. 126: circles) arranged into 2–3 indistinct rows (most obviously behind about basal half of marginal vein) and the admarginal setae are not conspicuously longer than the discal setae (Fig. 126: rectangles). Bouček (1988: 418) did not provide any explanation for his synonymy of Aeronea and Protolaccus under Eurydinoteloides except that his actions were based on study of the type specimen of “ E. americanus Girault ” 1. Bouček (1993: 1250) was more explicit in stating that the synonymy was based on “notes and sketches from the headless holotype ”, suggesting that he also did not see the slide with the head. Girault (1913 a) did not mention the presence of a distinct malar depression in the original description of E. americana. However, Burks (1954) established Protolaccus for two species with an arch-like malar depression, E. bacchadis (Burks 1954) (Fig. 112) and E. syrphidis (Girault 1916). The type species of Aeronea, E. laticeps (Cameron 1913), also has an arch-like malar depression (Fig. 113). Eurydinoteloides bacchadis, E. syrphidis and E. laticeps are all very similar to each other (cf. Figs 111 –116, 119, 120, 127, 128), but differ from E. americana in several features, including fore wing setal pattern and propodeal structure. Type females of the three putative species have the discal setae reduced in length and density behind the marginal vein and there is only a single row of comparatively long admarginal setae behind the length of the marginal vein (Figs 127, 128). Further, the propodea lack plical carinae posterior to the anterolateral plical depression and the costulae are directed mesally from the posterior margin of each depression toward the median carina so that paraspiracular regions and relatively large posterior plical panels form a continuous U-shaped region (Fig. 124). Based on the above observations, I consider it likely that E. americana has an arch-like malar depression similar to E. 1. Bouček (1993) emended americana to americanus because based on Article 30 (b) of the 1985 International Code of Zoological Nomenclature “ oides ” is masculine. However article 30 (b) was superseded by Article 30.1.4.4. of ICZN (2000), which states that “ oides ” is to be treated as masculine unless the author, when the name was established, “stated that it had another gender or treated it as such by combining it with an adjectival species-group name in another gender form”. Consequently, based on current ICZN rules, Eurydinoteloides should be treated as feminine. bacchadis, E. laticeps and E. syrphidis, and therefore concur with the generic synonymy proposed by Bouček (1988). Further, although E. americana represents a distinct species, E. bacchadis, E. laticeps and E. syrphidis are all very similar except for colour of the femora. The type specimens of E. bacchadis have yellow femora (Fig. 120), whereas E. laticeps has brown femora (Fig. 119) similar to E. syrphidis. It is therefore very possible that at least E. syrphidis is a junior synonym of E. laticeps, but confident synonymy is not possible until the Neotropical species of Eurydinoteloides are revised and leg colour can be assessed as a species character. Discussion. Males of E. americana are not currently recognized, but those of E. bacchadis and E. syrphidis are atypical for Eurydinoteloides in having a comparatively long scape that extends to or exceeds the level of the vertex (Fig. 131) rather than just to the ventral margin of the anterior ocellus as for most species of the genus. This feature is correlated with six elongate funiculars with sparse mps, including on the third flagellomere (Fig. 131). However, males of an undescribed species from Florida with a distinct malar depression (Fig. 133) have six shorter, more robust funiculars encircled by mps (Fig. 132) as well as a more typical scape that extends only to about the level of the anterior ocellus. Further, males of a few other Neotropical Eurydinoteloides species without a malar depression have a scape that extends to the level of the vertex. Consequently, presence or absence of an elongate scape in males does not appear to correlate with presence or absence of a malar depression. FIGURES 143–150.

No. in parenthesis = CNC 2011 photo no. Development of a malar depression is highly variable in Eurydinoteloides. Some species have a distinct, archlike depression that extends about half way (Figs 112, 113, 133) or somewhat less (Fig. 134) to the lower orbit, others have the gena abruptly incurved only above the base of the mandible as a very short, transverse depression along the oral margin (Fig. 135), and still others lack an evident depression (Fig. 136). Development of the metapleuron is similarly variable. As noted above, individuals of E. americana, E. bacchadis, E. laticeps and E. syrphidis all have an anteromesally angulate metapleuron with the margin finely sculptured and raised only slightly above the posterior margin of the mesopleuron, and the surface with only a comparatively small smooth and shiny region (Figs 114–116, 118). In such instances, careful observation is necessary to observe the difference in structure from that of Lyrcus, in which the metapleuron is uniformly, though sometimes very faintly sculptured, and the anterior margin abuts the posterior margin of the mesopleuron on the same level (Figs 19, 174). Further, some Eurydinoteloides species without a broad malar depression have a similarly angulate metapleuron (Figs 137, 138). Others, with or without a distinct malar depression, have the metapleuron extensively smooth and shiny with the anterior margin evenly curved, unsculptured, and either convex and extending slightly over the posterior margin of the mesopleuron (Figs 48, 139, 140) or, less commonly, recurved outward at abrupt angle relative to the mesopleuron so that the latter abuts the inner surface (Figs 141, 142). Similar to presence or absence of a malar depression, the different metapleural structures appear to form a continuum and neither character appears to be valid for the recognition of subgenera within Eurydinoteloides. Based on a greater similarity to the metapleuron of most pteromalids (Figs 19, 27, 28, 174, 212, 213), the only slightly angulate metapleural structure of such species as E. americana likely is the groundplan structure for Eurydinoteloides. The groundplan structure of the gena, that is, with or without an arch-like malar depression, is more difficult to propose confidently. As noted above, the admarginal setae are completely exposed and similar in length to the dorsal discal setae in E. americana (Fig. 126). All North American and most Neotropical species of Eurydinoteloides are characterized by one or two rows of clearly exposed but obviously longer admarginal setae (Figs 127, 128, 143, 146). However, a relatively few species from south of the USA do not have the admarginal setae differentiated in length from the dorsal discal setae and/or have up to three or four partial rows of admarginal setae (Fig. 145) and/or the dorsal discal setae extending variably extensively along the length of the marginal vein, very rarely to its base, so as to partly or completely obscure the admarginal setae (Fig. 147). Such species often also have the fore wing more extensively setose than for typical species, including one or more of the costal cell, basal fold, basal cell, and the triangular region between the stigmal and postmarginal veins having setae (Fig. 147). Although these latter setal patterns are relatively uncommon, they make confident hypothesis of the groundplan fore wing setal pattern difficult. The male flagellar structure of the undescribed species from Florida with two strongly transverse anelli and six similar funiculars encircled by mps (Fig. 132) could represent the groundplan structure for Eurydinoteloides (see further under Lyrcus). However, males of most Eurydinoteloides species have structures of the third flagellomere that are intermediate between a typical funicular and an anellus. The mps can be reduced in number (Fig. 131) or completely lacking (Figs 129, 130), though the flagellomere usually is variably longer and more setose than the basal two anelli so as to more closely resemble the subsequent flagellomeres than the basal two anelli. If such males were interpreted as having only two anelli then they would key to Lyrcus at couplet 263 using Bouček and Heydon (1997). However, rather than keying Lyrcus, this couplet differentiates mostly Jaliscoa species.

Although the presence of lanceolate, more or less parallel-sided white setae that contrast conspicuously with the cuticle (Fig. 125) certainly is not unique to Eurydinoteloides among pteromaline genera, such setae differentiate at least North American females of Eurydinoteloides from most Lyrcus species. Most Lyrcus lack contrasting setae or, if there are flattened white setae, then they usually are conspicuously widened over about the basal two-thirds and narrowed abruptly to a point in the apical third (Fig. 171) as well as typically originating from small blue to green spots (Figs 170, 173). However, L. cyaneus (Figs 14–16) as well as at least two other North America species have slender white setae (Fig. 175) similar to typical Eurydinoteloides. Rare Eurydinoteloides also have more conspicuously lanceolate setae, indicating this feature is homoplastic. Under high magnification, both types of flattened setae have a median rib-like thickening whether they are parallel-sided (Fig. 125) or more broadly lanceolate (Fig. 171), but studies of flattened setae in other genera have not been conducted to determine whether this similarity has any phylogenetic significance or is simply a functional feature. I also observed two females of Eurydinoteloides from Guatemala (CNC) with dark hairlike setae, and females and males from Costa Rica, Ecuador and Trinidad (CNC) that have white, slightly lanceolate setae on the head and mesoscutum, but brown setae on the scutellum similar to some species classified in Lariophagus. Males of Eurydinoteloides also sometimes lack conspicuous setae, having only very slender, more hairlike and comparatively inconspicuous white setae on the face and often laterally on the pronotum. Such males are easily mistaken for Lyrcus males if metapleural structure is not visible. The propodeum of Eurydinoteloides sometimes
: “I did everything late and backwards”, an intellectual journey with Élisabeth Lebovici
No full textInternational audienceIn July 2022, in the library of the Centre d'histoire et Théorie de l'Art, the journal’s team discussed the intellectual history of the laboratories that founded it (CEHTA, LAS, GAHOM-ALHOMA, ANHIMA). Giorgio Fichera, Clémentine Girault and Clovis Maillet met Élisabeth Lebovici, who had attended Hubert Damisch's seminars before moving to New York and becoming an art critic and author. The discussion focused on the intellectual paths of the 1980s and the reasons for the non-encounter between feminist and post-structuralist theories.En juillet 2022, dans la bibliothèque du Centre d’histoire et Théorie de l’Art, l’équipe de la revue abordait le bilan de l’histoire intellectuelle et des laboratoires qui l’ont fondée (CEHTA, LAS, GAHOM-ALHOMA, ANHIMA). Giorgio Fichera, Clémentine Girault et Clovis Maillet ont rencontré Élisabeth Lebovici, qui avait suivi les séminaires d’Hubert Damisch avant de partir à New York puis de devenir critique d’art et autrice. La discussion s’est intéressée aux parcours intellectuels des années 1980 et aux raisons de la non rencontre entre les théories féministes et poststructuralistes
Banlieue toulonnaise ou région toulonnaise ? Habitat et emploi entre les deux guerres
No full textBy studying the history of the population of the Var between the two world wars, the author analyses the role of the State as an employer in the Toulon region. In an uneven fashion the neighbouring communes sent workers to the naval dockeyard where many seamen lodge. By counting them, identifying them and examining their social and political roles, an answer to the question concerning the link between job and place of residence is found. Although this population was socialy structured it stood out in various socio-political areas, the communes, as these State employees were sometimes part of their administration. Rather than a suburban phenomenon in the hierarchical sense here one withness the development of a regional unity which owed so much to that common employer, the Naval dockeyard or the Navy. This situation reinforced inter-communal solidarity vis-a-vis the rest of the department.Travaillant sur l'histoire des populations varoises entre les deux guerres, l'auteur s'interroge sur le rôle de l'Etat employeur dans la région toulonnaise. D'une façon inégale, les communes voisines envoient tous les jours des travailleurs vers l'Arsenal Maritime ou hébergent de nombreux marins. Les dénombrer, les identifier, examiner leur rôle social et politique, permet de répondre à la question du rapport entre l'emploi et le domicile. Bien que structurée socialement, cette population se singularise dans les différents espaces socio-politiques, les communes, dans l'administration desquelles pénètrent toutefois ces salariés d'Etat. Plus qu'un phénomène de banlieue au sens hiérarchique du terme, nous assistons à la constitution d'une unité régionale, qui doit beaucoup à cet employeur commun, l'Arsenal ou la Marine. Cette situation renforce la solidarité inter-communale vis-à-vis du reste du département .Girault Jacques. Banlieue toulonnaise ou région toulonnaise ? Habitat et emploi entre les deux guerres.

Open channel-based microchip electrophoresis interfaced with mass spectrometry via electrostatic spray ionization
No full textThe coupling between open channel-based microchip electrophoresis and mass spectrometry via electrostatic spray ionization is proposed for in situ detection of fractionated analytes. Electrophoretic separation is performed in an open channel fabricated in a plastic substrate. The solvent of background electrolyte is evaporated from the open channel because of Joule heating during electrophoresis, leaving the dried electrophoretic bands to be directly analyzed by mass spectrometry via scanning electrostatic spray ionization. Proof-of-concept results are obtained with fluorescent dyes and antibiotics as the test samples, demonstrating an efficient on-chip detection platform based on the electrophoresis and electrostatic spray ionization mass spectrometry.LEP
Reperimento del parassitoide Closterocerus chamaeleon (Girault) in Basilicata e Puglia (Hymenoptera Eulophidae)
No full textThis endoparasitic eulophid is originally widespread in Australia and attacks the well-known gall-inducer wasp of eucalyptus, Ophelimus maskelli (Ashmead); recently, it has been deliberately released for biological control of the latter into different Mediterranean countries: Israel (6 sites), Campania (southern continental Italy) and Sicily (western side). In summer 2007, author detected a diffuse presence of C. chamaeleon in Basilicata andApulia (southern Italy); he obtained a few adults in June, from flowering branches of Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh., and several adults more in July-August from samples of300 eucalyptus leaves. Likely, the positive localities shelter the offspring of the C. chamaeleon strains previously released in Campania and/or western Sicily. In any case, the abundance of this parasitoid in Basilicata and Apulia does confirm it to be hugely quick in colonising new territories around the introduction sites, as already reported in the literature.Closterocerus chamaeleon (Girault) è un eulofide ampiamente diffuso in Australia e parassitizza un altro eulofide: il noto galligeno infestante dell\u27eucalipto Ophelimus maskelli (Ashmead). Attualmente, vari studiosi ne stanno sperimentando l\u27efficacia ai fini della lotta biologica contro quest\u27ultimo, e, per tale scopo, lo hanno introdotto in Israele, Campania e Sicilia occidentale. In base ad osservazioni effettuate nell\u27estate 2007, l\u27autore ne segnala la presenza su Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh. in varie località di Basilicata e Puglia. I reperti provengono sia da raccolte sui fiori, effettuate a fine-giugno e inizi di luglio, sia da campioni di foglieprelevati in luglio-agosto. Alcuni di questi campioni, della consistenza di circa 300 foglie, hanno fornito fino a qualche centinaio di adulti. Verosimilmente, gli individui presenti in Basilicata e Puglia discendono dai ceppi gia introdotti in Campania e/o Sicilia. In ogni caso, questi reperti confermano le osservazioni degli studiosi, in merito alla rapidità con cui C. chamaeleon può diffondere a largo raggio, attorno alle zone di lancio
