Taxonomic note. A single worker examined from WendèsiMajosi differs from the opaculus syntype in its larger size (HW 2.77 mm vs. 2.32 mm), different orientation of pronotal striae (concentric vs. straight-transverse), and feebler striation within the extraocular furrow.Published as part of Wilson EO, 1959, Studies on the ant fauna of Melanesia V.

The socio-economic benefits of Earth Observation (EO): insights from the final users of EO services and applications in Italy
No full textEarth observation (EO) is a strategic and fast-changing domain of the
space economy that increasingly contributes to the understanding, analysis
and management of different natural and societal aspects of Earth. A range
of socio-economic benefits may derive from the use of EO data. This
chapter aims to identify the benefits accrued by end users of EO services
and applications, on which there is scarce evidence in the literature. With
the objective of filling in this gap, the chapter relies on a survey distributed
to the end users of EO services in Italy, a country which is active along the
whole value chain of the space economy
Odontomachus emeryi EO, 1959, n. status

Ford); Boku, Bougainville (Ford).</p> <p>Taxonomic notes. This species is very similar to the widespread 0. saevissimus of western Melanesia and in fact may be no more than a geographic variant of it. Emeryi differs in its distinctive coloration and convex posterior border of petiolar node. A single worker of saevissimus from New Ireland appears to be both geographically and morphologically intermediate. It has a petiolar node like that of emeryi, but the body coloration is typical of saevissimus. Unfortunately, the head of this interesting specimen is missing.</p> <p>Ecological notes. Mann made the following observations on the type colonies: ' ' They were in dense forest; the nests were in the ground among the roots of trees and contained large numbers of workers. The workers are less active than haematoda [= simillimus] and not as aggressive." E. J. Ford, Jr., collected winged queens from a nest at Kokure on June 12, 1956.</p>Published as part of <i>Wilson EO, 1959, Studies on the ant fauna of Melanesia V.

Mann also recorded this species from Malapaina, Three Sisters Group, Solomons, on which island it occurs sympatrically with the closely related A. cato Forel.</p> <p>Taxonomic note. A. isolatus forms with A. splendens (Aru), A. seminiger (Waigeo), and A. splendidulus (Carolines), the "isolatus superspecies," i.e., a tightly-knit group of cognate forms which seem sufficiently well differentiated to be good biological species, but which are completely allopatric in distribution. Actually, treatment of these four forms as species must be considered arbitrary until evidence is obtained of non-intergradation in areas of overlap, if indeed such areas exist at all.</p> <p>The range of the isolatus superspecies forms a nearly complete circle around that of the related species cato. Brown (Quart. Rev. Biol., 32:271, 1957) has suggested that this unusual pattern may have resulted from the replacement of isolât in New Guinea, Bismarck Archipelago, and western Solomons by the more recently evolved rato.</p>Published as part of <i>Wilson EO, 1959, Studies on the ant fauna of Melanesia V.

O. papuanus is closely related to the Oriental species rixosus Fr. Smith, differing chiefly in its longer petiolar spine and more rounded apical mandibular teeth. Its recognition here as a distinct species is a provisional measure only. Significant geographic variation occurs within the range of papuanus on New Guinea. Workers from the lowlands (Maffin Bay, lower Busu River) are smaller and lighter in color than those from the mountains of the Huon Peninsula. The syntype from Aru is light in color but as large as the montane New Guinea workers. Ecological notes. This species has been collected in both primary lowland rain forest and primary and secondary midmountain rain forest on New Guinea. Workers were found foraging singly on the ground during both the day and night. At the Busu River, a nest was found on a steep forested hillside. It consisted of a single shaft, five centimeters wide, extending horizontally into the soil beneath a tree root for a distance of approximately 45 centimeters. The colony was a small one, containing a single queen and about twenty workers, and may have been incipient.Published as part of Wilson EO, 1959, Studies on the ant fauna of Melanesia V.

Odontomachus gressitti EO, 1959, n. sp.
No full text<p>Odontomachus gressitti Wilson, n. sp.</p> <p>(Fig. 4, no. 8)</p> <p>Diagnosis. A small, slender species belonging to the saevissimus group and most closely resembling papuanus Emery. It differs from papuanus by its distinctive coloration, presence of transverse striae on the anterodorsal face of the petiolar node, and more slender petiolar spine. It bears a superficial resemblance to linae Donisthorpe but differs markedly from that species in its smaller size, distinctive coloration, and "papuanustype " petiolar node.</p> <p>Holotype worker. HW 2.16 mm, HL 3.48 mm, SL 3.43 mm, PW 1.35 mm, length of petiolar node Ï.00 mm, distance from posterior margin of petiolar spiracle to tip of petiolar spine 1.42 mm.</p> <p>Cephalic striae entirely limited to frontal lobes and interocular depression; remainder of head entirely smooth and shining. Entire alitrunk transversely striate, the striae becoming very weak in the center of the pronotum and even failing entirely in a limited area just 1.32 mm posterior to the anterior margin of the pronotal “neck.” Entire anterodorsal and lateral faces of petiolar node, exclusive of the spine and most of its supporting cone, transversely striate. Gaster completely smooth and shining.</p> <p>Head and gaster dark reddish brown. Pronotal “neck,” posterior margin of pronotum, entire mesonotum, and propodeal dorsum posterior to the level of the propodeal spiracles medium reddish brown. All of these areas contrast with the remainder of the alitrunk and the petiole, which are a much lighter shade of brownish yellow.</p> <p>Type locality. Nondugl, 1750 m., Ahi Valley, N-E. New Guinea (J. L. Gressitt). The single worker from this locality has been returned to Dr. Gressitt for deposit in the B. P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu.</p> <p>Paratype worker. A single worker from Gold Ridge-to-Suta (Jonapau), 1100 m., Guadalcanal (Gressitt) has been determined as this species. It differs from the holotype in its overall much lighter coloration (body light brownish yellow, the pronotal neck and mesonotum a shade darker than the rest), slightly thicker petiolar spine, and presence of numerous oblique hairs on the spine and cone (standing hairs completely lacking in holotype). Further collecting may show the Solomons form to rank as a distinct species. The single Solomons specimen has been deposited in the Museum of Comparative Zoology.</p>Published as part of <i>Wilson EO, 1959, Studies on the ant fauna of Melanesia V.
