Ant-repellantHi, On 06-Sep-08 you introduced the sentence: „The tropical wasp Mischocyttarus drewseni coats the pedicel of its nest with an ant-repellant chemical.[114]” in “Ants” article, section “Relationships with other organisms” The [114] is Jeanne, RL (1972). "Social biology of the neotropical wasp Mischocyttarus drewseni". Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool. 144: 63–150.The volume 144 Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool. Unfortunately the Jeanne, R. article does not exists in collection of my university library. I also could not found a e-copy using Google. I beleave you could have a copy at hand. Acttualy I am interested in single question: if the ant-repellant chemical was identified and what would be the chemical name. If you could wright here the answer I would be apreciated.

SeitzNo. But I'm very grateful to you for letting me know. I put in a quick link under Adalbert Seitz but I'm tempted to write up a history of this amazing work.No time right now but perhaps over the winter. atb RobertNotafly (talk) 20:52, 24 July 2009 (UTC) I've tried to resolve that issue as best as I can. Both sides were definitely POV-pushing, and it certainly does look like "Sirolo" may be Baroni Urbani engaged in self-promotion, which would be a serious no-no. The adoption of the synonymy by one name-aggregator site does not constitute proof that the ant research community has accepted it, and the fact that the people doing the Ant Tree of Life still use Nothomyrmecia is far more instructive in this regard. You may have noticed that I've hardly been on WP lately; my circumstances here prevent the level of participation I engaged in previously. I should also note that I'm now an ICZN Commissioner, so if you've got a need for an "authoritative" opinion on such matters, I carry a little more official clout these days. Feel free to e-mail me if you've got serious issues like this one cropping up again. Peace, Dyanega (talk) 23:40, 28 July 2009 (UTC) Anatomy imagesThanks for the images.

Sankey's wife(s)There is something wrong with the dates I think. This link talks about one Henrietta Sankey born in India who gave birth to a daughter Violet through one, Charles Wilson. The dates coincide with our Sankey's Henrietta, but the article claims that this Henrietta died in childbirth. Was wondering if Henrietta was then the first wife? Or is this just a coincidence? prashanthns (talk) 14:19, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
Ah...Oh really? prashanthns (talk) 13:15, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
I think you are right about them being distinct species but it seems like the group is a mess - there are two species but some subspecies have been moved from one to the other and the matter is unclear according to R.I. Vane-Wright & R. de Jong http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/document/46743 . Quoting R.I. Vane-Wright & R. de Jong here: "Here we follow Tsukada (1985) and Motono & Negishi (1989) in applying the name lilaea, but not hippoclus, to one of the species found on the Asian mainland. Koiwaya (1989) applied hippoclus (type-locality Ambon) to a species that includes China within its range. Parsons (1999) apparently applies hippoclus to a taxon occuring from India and China through the Malay Archipelago, as far east as Bougainville. We treat hippoclus here as a species extending from Thailand to Maluku. Note added in proof: Fric et al. (submitted) now propose to include the formerly separate Papuan region genus Mynes within Symbrenthia, bringing the group to over two dozen species." So not really sure about it but I think the text needs to be expanded with citations. The sources cited are unavailable to me, perhaps you are in a position to look it up.

I noticed that earlier in the year you suspected that the fine doctor had created his own page. I cn tell you that that was not the case after a careful investigation. The purpose for which it was created was to deflect attention from something else, and the fight to keep it listed was much bigger than Dr. Lehrer. You might apologize to him sometime, if you ever get the chance. The purpose of Wikipedia has been subverted here, and you were one of the casualties. If you do renominate it, I will support it, and I imagine that the Dr. Lehrer would not mind.--Die4Dixie (talk) 22:05, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

The NSOED doesn't have either word, but it does have "hidrosis [Greek hidrõsis sweating, from hidrõs sweat: see -OSIS.] Medicine (Excessive) sweating." It doesn't have "hydrosis". So I think the "i" is correct. —JerryFriedman (Talk) 16:17, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Your bounty delivered:Thanks for contributing in the Insect article during the GA upgrading procedure. The article is now a Good Article, and you have earned this barnstar:
UrohydrationWell, if it's in HBW, it should probably be mentioned in the article. I suspect that people who use that term think that since this charming behavior isn't really sweating, it shouldn't be called any kind of hidrosis. But I don't have any evidence. —JerryFriedman (Talk) 06:56, 19 November 2009 (UTC) Your view soughtAs a member of WP Arthropods, you might have a view on this discussion. Thanks in advance.

This list is intended to increase knowledge of the professional environmental community in Tamil Nadu by the general public. It is meant to be useful to policy makers, National Green Corps coordinators, teachers, NGOs, researchers and students seeking wider collaboration with knowledgeable environmentalists in Tamil Nadu.[4] These environmental organizations are notable for the diversity of their members and intended impact groups, ranging from urban to rural, local to national, elementary students to government policy makers and rich to poor.

House martinsIt's astonishing that the descriptions for nests range from the old books, which imply that the nests are always open, to Rasmussen's "round with entrance tube" I'd be inclined to trust Turner on this. wrt to the old images, I'd like to use them somewhere, haven't decided where yet, although the feet probably best in Delichon Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:40, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
