Annotated List of Stoneflies (Plecoptera) from Stebbins Gulch in Northeastern Ohio

(excerpt) Stebbins Gulch is situated within property owned by The Holden Arboretum in northwestern Geauga County, Ohio, approximately 8.0 km east of the village of Kirtland (Fig. 1). Physiographically, the Arboretum is included within the Southern New York Section of the Appalachian Plateau Province (Feldman et al., 1977). This Section was overridden by several advances of Pleistocene glaciation, the latest of which receded some 13,000 years ago. It is characterized by poorly drained surfaces containing many bogs, ponds, and lakes, except near the Portage Escarpment where small rivers have excavated relatively deep valleys

The snail-killing flies of Alaska (Diptera: Sciomyzidae)

Information is given on the geographic distribution, habitat preferences, larval foods, and immature stages for 57 species of 9 genera of Sciomyzidae known to occur in Alaska. An illustrated key to adults is included. Alaska as a habitat for sciomyzid flies is discussed, and information on feeding habits of the larvae is summarized

A Possible Case of Spatial Isolation in Brine Flies of the Genus \u3ci\u3eEphydra\u3c/i\u3e (Diptera: Ephydridae)

(excerpt) During the summer of 1975, adults and larvae of Ephydra riparia Fallen and E. cinerea Jones were encountered in the many brine pools occurring on the property of the Morton Salt Company at Rittman, Wayne County, Ohio (Scheiring and Foote, 1973). Larvae of both species have been reported to be salt tolerant (Bayly, 1972). E. ripariu larvae can survive in salinities up to 80°/oo (Sutcliffe, 1960), and the larvae of cinerea have been encountered by Nemenz (1960) in the Great Salt Lake of Utah at a salinity of 300°/oo

\u3ci\u3eAnaphes\u3c/i\u3e (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) Reared from the Eggs of a Shore Fly (Diptera: Ephydridae)

Members of the family Mymaridae are obligate parasitoids of insect eggs, and some species attack the eggs of aquatic insects. Only one account of egg parasitism by the mymarid genus Anaphes on Diptera has been disclosed in the literature. Bakkendorf (1971) bred Anaphes autumnalis Foerster from an egg of Tipula autumnalis Loew

THE ROLE OF ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES (ACEs) IN THE MILITARY AND PREDICTING CURRENT DISTRESS

The United States has been in continuous military conflicts for the past two decades. The importance of having a fully capable fighting force is unquestionable, but too often, military units are not at full capacity due to service members (SMs) within a unit being unable to deploy due to mental health impediments. The surge of non-deployable SMs is a national security concern as it affects the SMs’ quality of life and Department of Defense’s (DoD) ability to fight today’s conflicts. This study bolsters military ACE research because it sampled more female and officer participants compared to extant military ACE studies. I applied a cross-sectional web-based survey design to recruit SMs in each branch of the US military and analyzed a sample of 600 participants across multiple branches of the US Active Duty, Reserve, and National Guard military to test the predictor variables of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Though the rate of ACEs in this sample were unexpectedly higher than the civilian population, the data from this study and literature review suggest that intervention is appropriate and necessary to reduce the DoD’s non-deployable problem. It could also simultaneously improve the forces’ wellbeing by identifying ACEs in SMs upon their entry into service
