Product Description
Diapause is an event of great ecological significance in thelives of a wide range of invertebrates. The underlying physiologicaland genetic mechanisms pose many intriguing questions and haveimportant evolutionary implications. Some of the most dramaticexamples of diapause are provided by crustaceans. Most branchiopodsproduce resting eggs that can withstand intense desiccation andextremes of temperature and pressure far beyond those to which theyare ever subjected in nature. Furthermore they can remain in a drycondition, displaying no measurable metabolism, for many years. Suchabilities enable them to inhabit infrequently-filled pools in aridregions. When the pools fill with water these dormant eggs hatch andgive rise to animals that grow quickly to maturity and produce a newgeneration of resting eggs. There is every reason to believe thatprimitive branchiopods have employed diapause in this way sincePalaeozoic times and that their abilities in this direction haveplayed a key role in their continued success as freshwater animals. ...

BY WILLIAM BECTENMCLLEH. Read October 7,1889. The catalogue here presented for publication was begun by me about five years ago, but has been constantly delayed by the numerous additions, and species for verification, which have been reported or submitted to me as having been taken within the limits specified.In the preparation of this catalogue I have availed myself of the experiences of various collectors in this vicinity ; and it is as complete as it can be made in the present state of our knowledge of the local species, although it will be seen that much is yet to be added, especially in the Tortricidae and Tineidae.Special effort has been made to give as far as possible the food- plants of each species, for the benefit of those who are desirous of rearing the Lepidoptera of the region. For information relating to the species of which the early stages are known, the student is referred to the catalogue of the described transformations of N. Am. Lepidoptera, by Heury Edwards (Bull. No. 35, U. S. Nat. Mus.).This being the first list of the Lepidoptera of the region ever published, it may possibly contain some inaccuracies, and for such I would ask the indulgence of the entomological fraternity. I would be greatly obliged to those who will inform me of any error they may detect and also of any addition to the species and food-plants tha... ... Read more
