Talk:Moneilema

message: I edited this page to indicate that the vernacular term "Longhorn Cactus Beetles" (or, Cactus Longhorn Beetles") refers to a genus containing many species, not just M. gigas. Also added some additional biological information and links to new articles.
I also added a comment indicating that the purported mimicry of Eleodes (stink beetles) by Moneilema is as yet unproven. To my knowledge, this claim, although widely repeated in the literature, is based on a single observation by A. G. Raske, reported in his 1966 (UC Berkeley) doctoral dissertation, that one ringtail cat was observed to reject cactus longhorn beetles after experiencing unpalatable Eleodes species. Although these data are consistent with the mimicry, a single observation does not qualify as scientific evidence.

Talk:Calisto (butterfly)

message: Removing unnecessary parentheses from Author-Year in species names.
Parenthesis are used when the original genus-species combination of names is
different than the one used currently. 
In many cases, the species names were described in the genus Calisto. Thus
the author-year shouldn't be placed between parenthesis.
Square brackets should be used when the date of description is inferred (see

thread_title: Common name?

message: I think that it would be useful to include that the ants adapted to the autothysis defense because it was more useful than other defense mechanisms (like stings) for defending the territory as a whole. I also think that it should be noted that the products from the mandibular glands work more effectively against arthropods than deterring vertebrate predators because of the stickiness of the substance, and that deterring vertebrate predators is a possible function of autothysis because the chemicals are inedible should definitely be added to the article.

If Borat is mentioned even at all, it should be in a very small section of the article.

message: Doesn't it seem premature to accept this generic designation?

Sushilover2000 (talk) 19:18, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the Harrison & Crespi study is more than 10 years old, used only some of the 23 species in Cancer (sensu lato) and examined a single gene. By current standards, it's fairly weak. Different methods of phylogenetic inference produced different topologies, and the support values were fairly low. In contrast, most recent papers (including, significantly, Ng et al.) include the genus Metacarcinus. We have to follow the prevailing usage, so even if it isn't monophyletic, we have to carry on using it. Non-monophyly doesn't make the genus invalid, by the way, it may just mean that the boundaries of the various genera may need to be redrawn. In particular, if the Dungeness crab is in any new genus that doesn't contain Cancer pagurus (or the type species of another older genus), that new genus must be called Metacarcinus under the ICZN. --Stemonitis (talk) 06:04, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Niccolò Zucchi

message: Added much from other biographical articles. I have toned down Niccolò Zucchi re: the reflecting telescope. I have found no solid references that he had anything to do with it other than trying to see if he could see the image formed by a bronze mirror he barrowed from someone else. The idea that he observed Jupiter’s belts and spots on Mars with one seems to be a jump in logic, since if it was true, he was using a reflector that was 130 years more advanced than anyone else’s... somebody would have wrote about that. I suspect he was using Keplerian refracting telescopes for those observations. I see only one reference to him giving a reflector to Kepler, and I suspect that one as well. Again it may be someone making the logical jump "if he invented a reflector, he gave one to Kepler". Better references are needed. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 05:04, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
