A revision of the Lepidoptem of Tasmania

Tasmania is rich in Lepidoptera. The species are numerous, very interesting, but have been very little studied. There is a great want of resident collectors and observers and it is to encourage these that this revision has been planned. The classification adopted is that used in Dr. Tillyard's recent book. It is a revision of species only; no notice is taken of local races (usually, but unfortunately, called subspecies). To each genus and species is added the name of its author. Synonyms are excluded, and after each species there is given a single reference, not necessarily to the original description, but to the best available description for the local student. Where this description appears under another name, that name is added in brackets. Genera and species which have not been recorded outside Tasmania are distinguished by a -*. Tasmania was united to the mainland during the lifetime of existing species in Pleistocene times. A period of glaciation, which occurred during this connection, covered the mountains with snowfields, while the lower areas supported a fauna which has since then been restricted to alpine regions. In this way we explain the occurrence of a number of identical species in the widely separated areas of Cradle Mountain and the Australian Alps. Much of the old Tasmanian fauna, not able to withstand these rigorous conditions, must have been driven northwards, to return with the resumption of a milder climate, probably with some impoverishment, which was compensated by a large immigration of Australian forms. The whole fauna is now preponderatingly Australian, but a relatively small proportion of peculiarly Tasmanian forms still survive, mostly in the mountains

New and little-known Tasmanian Lepidoptera. Part II.

Description of various species. For example, Fam. ARCTIADAE. Amsacta eurymochla, n.sp. This has probably been regarded as a form of A. marginata, and perhaps the Tasmanian record for that species has so arisen. To me it appears a distinct though allied species. In addition to the very distinct markings the forewings. are shorter and broader

Reflections on the 2017 HEA STEM conference: graduate employability challenges and solutions

Professor Marshall, in her conference opening remarks, asked ‘What is a university for?’ She then discussed the need for higher education to develop graduates who can offer solutions to global challenges, but that this needs to include not only core skills for each discipline but also wider graduate skills that employers require. Professor Wakeham, in his keynote, questioned whether our current approach to employability development is working, for STEM undergraduates, highlighting the poor employment rates for STEM UK graduates. In this Conference Reflection article, we will respond to the issues raised above by considering what the overarching challenges are for universities trying to teach employability and graduateness. Drawing on the conference keynotes, employer-led reports and using the reviews of Shadbolt and Wakeham, we will consider what problems and issues exist and what solutions are being devised, reflecting on the successes and difficulties reported on at the Manchester conference

Information and voting power in the proxy process

We document shareholder support for wealth-decreasing changes in corporate governance in the form of antitakeover charter amendments. the enactment of these amendments is shown to be related to ownership structure. This gives rise to a sample selection bias that contaminates traditional event-study results and explains the discrepancy between our findings and those reported in previous studies. We also provide evidence that strategic behavior by managers plays a role in the adoption of these amendments.Stockholders ; Consolidation and merger of corporations

A revision of the Lepidoptera of Tasmania. Part II.

It is necessary to make a few corrections and additions to Part I. Chlorocoma assimilis, Luc., was included owing to a misidentification, which I regret. It must be deleted; and so must Ecpatites callipolia, Turn., which is a synonym of Mictodoca toxeuta, Meyr. An examination of specimens in the Littler collection shows that a few species from Broken Hill and South Australia received by him have by some mistake had Tasmanian labels affixed. Includes amended list of species with omissions
