Gustaf Von Paykull
Gustav von Paykull (21 August 1757 – 28 January 1826) was a Swedish'' friherre'' (circa baron) and Marshal of the Court, ornithologist, and entomologist. He was a member of the Royal Swedish Academy from 1791 and a founder of the natural history museum (Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet) in Stockholm, through his 1819 donation of his extensive zoological collections to the academy (now in the Swedish Museum of Natural History). He was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 1801 and a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1804. Publications His best-known publications are: *''Monographia Histeroidum''. Upsaliae : Palmblad iv 114 pp. (1811). *''Fauna Suecica''. Insecta, Coleoptera. Upsala : Edman 3 volumes. (3 volumes, 1798, 1799, 1800) Species named in his honor * The red false black widow spider, ''Steatoda paykulliana'' * The pantropical jumping spider, ''Plexippus paykulli'' * The band-bellied crake, ''Porzana paykullii'' ...

Melandryidae
Melandryidae is a family of beetles in the superfamily Tenebrionoidea. Members of the family are found worldwide, with around 420 species in 60 genera. Larvae and adults are generally associated with rotting wood and wood-decomposing fungi. Genera These 44 genera belong to the family Melandryidae: * '' Abdera'' Stephens, 1832 * '' Abderina'' Seidlitz, 1898 * '' Amblyctis'' Leconte, 1879 * '' Anisoxya'' Mulsant, 1856 * '' Archaeoxylita'' Nikitskij, 1977 * '' Archaeserropalpus'' Nikitsky, 2002 * '' Argyrabdera'' Sahlberg, 1913 * '' Cicindelopsis'' Cockerell, 1920 * '' Conopalpus'' Gyllenhal, 1810 * '' Cuphosis'' Champion, 1889 * '' Dicraeomorpha'' * '' Dircaea'' Fabricius, 1798 * '' Dircaeomorpha'' Fairmaire, 1896 * '' Dolotarsus'' Jacquelin du Val, 1863 * '' Electroabdera'' Alekseev, 2014 * '' Emmesa'' Newman, 1838 * '' Enchodes'' Leconte, 1866 * '' Eucinetomorphus'' Perris, 1875 * '' Hypulus'' Paykull, 1798 * '' Lederia'' Reitter, 1880 * '' Marolia'' Mulsant, 1856 * '' Mecorche ...

Alnus Glutinosa
''Alnus glutinosa'', the common alder, black alder, European alder, European black alder, or just alder, is a species of tree in the family Betulaceae, native to most of Europe, southwest Asia and northern Africa. It thrives in wet locations where its association with the bacterium '' Frankia alni'' enables it to grow in poor quality soils. It is a medium-sized, short-lived tree growing to a height of up to 30 metres (98 feet). It has short-stalked rounded leaves and separate male and female flowers in the form of catkins. The small, rounded fruits are cone-like and the seeds are dispersed by wind and water. The common alder provides food and shelter for wildlife, with a number of insects, lichens and fungi being completely dependent on the tree. It is a pioneer species, colonising vacant land and forming mixed forests as other trees appear in its wake. Eventually common alder dies out of woodlands because the seedlings need more light than is available on the forest ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Salix
Willows, also called sallows and osiers, from the genus ''Salix'', comprise around 400 speciesMabberley, D.J. 1997. The Plant Book, Cambridge University Press #2: Cambridge. of typically deciduous trees and shrubs, found primarily on moist soils in cold and temperate regions. Most species are known as willow, but some narrow-leaved shrub species are called osier, and some broader-leaved species are referred to as sallow (from Old English ''sealh'', related to the Latin word ''salix'', willow). Some willows (particularly arctic and alpine species) are low-growing or creeping shrubs; for example, the dwarf willow (''Salix herbacea'') rarely exceeds in height, though it spreads widely across the ground. Description Willows all have abundant watery bark sap, which is heavily charged with salicylic acid, soft, usually pliant, tough wood, slender branches, and large, fibrous, often stoloniferous roots. The roots are remarkable for their toughness, size, and tenacity to live ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Beetles Described In 1799
Beetles are insects that form the order Coleoptera (), in the superorder Endopterygota. Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects. The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 described species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described insects and 25% of all known animal life-forms; new species are discovered frequently, with estimates suggesting that there are between 0.9 and 2.1 million total species. Found in almost every habitat except the sea and the polar regions, they interact with their ecosystems in several ways: beetles often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are serious agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle, while others such as Coccinellidae (ladybirds or ladybugs) eat aphids, scale insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that damage crops. Beetles typically have a particularly hard exoske ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
