Anticosti Island: a hot spot for (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in eastern Canada?

Background: During an inventory of insect diversity on Anticosti Island in 1993, we caught unprecedented numbers of (Mannerheim), a longhorned beetle rarely observed in eastern North America. All specimens were caught using 12-funnel Lindgren traps baited with 95% ethanol and α-pinene. This longhorned beetle was captured again in 2007 on Anticosti with the same traps.

Real-time imaging of myoblast transplantation using the human sodium iodide symporter.

The quantification of the graft success is a key element to evaluate the efficiency of cellular therapies for several pathologies such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This study describes an approach to evaluate the success of myoblast transplantation (i.e.

Oviposition traps to survey eggs of Lambdina fiscellaria (Lepidoptera: Geometridae).

Outbreaks of the hemlock looper, Lambdina fiscellaria (Gueneé), are characterized by rapid increase and patchy distribution over widespread areas, which make it difficult to detect impending outbreaks. This is a major problem with this insect. Population forecasting is based on tedious and expensive egg surveys in which eggs are extracted from 1-m branches; careful observation is needed to avoid counting old unhatched eggs of previous year populations.
