Extractions: Entomology is "the study of insects," according to the Oxford Dictionary of Biology, 4th ed, 2000. Strictly speaking, the true insects are only those belonging to the class Insecta, which does not include the spiders and other animals often thought of as insects such as millipedes or ticks. However, this chapter includes material on both insects and their close relatives since many resources treat these related groups together. Applied entomology is largely excluded, although some basic tools are mentioned. Associations American Mosquito Control Association . c/o Pamela Toups, 2200 E.

Associations Among Plants, Birds And Insects and mites preying mantids - parasitic wasps and flies - spiders. An account of this association is illustrated and online - June 1998 The Society for Growing http://farrer.riv.csu.edu.au/ASGAP/APOL10/jun98-4.html
Extractions: I am a trained zoologist with a special interest in birds. I grow plants, especially Australian natives, primarily because they provide a home for our native birds. I study insects because I teach entomology and because they provide food for birds. Birds are associated with plants and feed on insects - insects feed on plants and are preyed upon by birds. Before talking about these two way associations I want to talk about an intriguing three way association among birds, plants and insects. I was fortunate enough to spend 3 years of my life studying bower birds in sub-tropical rainforest in northern New South Wales. The green catbird, a monogamous bowerbird, lived and reproduced in the rainforest. It turned out that this catbird was highly dependent for its food on one plant species, the strangler fig; Ficus watkinsiana . This fig forms an emergent tree that towers above the rainforest canopy. Strangler figs were randomly distributed throughout my rainforest study area and produced an abundant crop of ripe figs regularly each year for several months. Adult green catbirds are predominantly fruit eating birds and strangler fig fruits formed the principal food item of their diet. The diet of nestling catbirds also consisted largely of fruit, mainly figs. Nearly all catbird territories contained at least one fig tree. The seeds of strangler figs germinate on the trunks and branches of host rainforest trees. The fig roots and branches form an interlocking lacework that envelops the host tree and eventually kills it, hence the name strangler fig.
Using Indigenous Plants To Conserve Indigenous Fauna fauna populations (eg birds, insects and spiders) to keep Indigenotes, 9(5)23. Society for Growing New, TR (1988) associations Between Insects and Plants. http://farrer.riv.csu.edu.au/ASGAP/APOL17/mar00-1.html
Extractions: Front Page Features Departments Society Home ... Subscribe Approaches to using plants for gardens and landscaping projects have evolved considerably over the previous 30 years or so. Among the changes are the greater use of Australian native plants since the sixties and the increased interest in indigenous plants since the eighties. The purpose of this paper is to offer some ideas that extend traditional approaches to using Australian plants for gardening and landscaping to more adequately meet the needs of indigenous fauna. My emphasis is on indigenous plants for the many reasons discussed elsewhere (e.g. Edwards et al. 1988, Buchanan 1989, SGAP Maroondah 1991), but most important here is the contention that indigenous vegetation provides the greatest range of habitat options for indigenous fauna because they have evolved together. 'Indigenous' is difficult to define precisely, but for this paper, a plant or animal species is regarded as indigenous to a site if it is believed to have occurred there immediately prior to European settlement. For example, Cootamundra Wattle, Acacia baileyana is indigenous to the Cootamundra - Wagga Wagga area of New South Wales, whereas outside that area, e.g. in Melbourne gardens, it is regarded as a native plant but not an indigenous one. 'Fauna' refers to animals including mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs, insects and spiders, and is used interchangeably with 'animals'. Similarly, 'flora' is used interchangeably with 'plants'.

Extractions: [Clinical Psychology Forum, 95, 14-17,1996] J. Richard Marshall DAVID SMAIL, Nottingham Community Health NHS Trust I just want to say a little about what I see as the importance of Richard's work, and perhaps to convey some idea of what some of it was about to those who aren't familiar with it. Richard was a kind of passionate intellectual force within psychology - particularly of course clinical psychology. He didn't just see patients for a living and write articles to further his career; he was fired by a hatred of the kinds of social injustice and inequality which so often underlie the difficulties which cause people emotional and psychological distress, and he offered himself as a kind of resource in the intellectual battle against those supposedly 'scientific' influences within psychiatry and psychology which serve the very interests of power and privilege which maintain social inequality. Every time I have some reason to look through my collection of papers and journal articles I am always surprised to find how many of them were sent to me by Richard, many because he had either written or contributed to them himself, but many more because he had come across them and knew I'd be interested in them. This was a tremendously sustaining and supportive aspect of Richard's activity, and one I badly miss. If Richard identified you as an ally, he made sure you stayed part of something , a momentum of opposition to the abuse of power; kept you informed and in contact, introduced you to people and ideas with whom and with which he knew you'd sympathize.

Libraries are rich in resources that can challenge us, excite us, and expand our understanding of the world. Since the early 90s, the Internet has become more of a presence for the general public, bringing new possibilities for exploration and stimulation. Its roots in the scientific communities of the 60s have produced an astonishing variety of fruits. The Internet looks very much like the changing world we inhabit. There are "gated communities" where only members may enter. There are solid, reliable sites maintained by government agencies, professional societies, or academic institutions. There are hobby sites, soapboxes, hate groups, political parties, monasteries, music, money advice, and more. With each month that passes, the traffic on the net goes up. Why use the Internet?
