The material for the present report was collected mainly by E.P Mumford and A.M. Adamson in the years 1928, 1929, and 1930, and was sent to me for study by Mr. Mumford. The entire collection, including the types of new species, is stored in B.P. Bishop Museum. The number of species recorded here, 12 for the Marquesas and five for the Society Islands, is not great, yet the material studied probably represents a fair sample of the fauna of these islands. More intensive collecting perhaps would do little more than disclose additional species of Anagyrus, which is the dominant endemic genus. Another endemic group is represented by a species of Leptomastix, and it is possible that Eutrichosomella insularis Timberlake and Mesencyrtus insularis Timberlake are also endemic species. The two species of Encyrtus, Pauridia peregrina Timberlake and Tachinaephagus zelandicus Ashmead, are certainly intrusive elements of the fauna, introduced through the agency of man and probably in recent years. The same is also almost certainly true for Ooencyrtus sphingidarum Timberlake, which is parasitic in the eggs of an introduced sphingid. Of the 14 species of Encyrtidae known from the two groups of islands, ten are parasitic in species of Coccidae, one in puparia of various muscoid Diptera, and one in sphingid eggs. The habits of Eutrichosomella and Mesencyrtus are of course quite unknown. The species of Anagyrus and Leptomastix, and Pauridia attack species of mealybugs (Pseudococcus and allies), and the hosts of Anagyrus and Leptomastix must form an endemic element of the fauna.

Further undescribed species have been recorded from Fiji and the Austral Islands (Zimmerman 1935; Zimmerman and Perrault 1989). Zimmerman and Perrault (1989) and Zimmerman (1994) interpreted this distribution pattern as a relict of a former more widespread occurrence in the Cretaceous and pondered the absence of aglycyderines from Australia.HOSTS: Host associations of the aglycyderines are also unusual. Aglycyderes develops in dead branches of Euphorbia L. (Euphorbiaceae) (Paulian 1944; Menier 1974), Aralius in those of Pseudopanax K. Koch (Araliaceae) (Kuschel 1990, 2003) and Proterhinus mostly also in dead branches of a variety of plants, including ferns (Cibotium Kaulf., Dryopteris Adans.), palms (Cocos L., Pritchardia Seem. \& H. Wendl.) and a few other monocots (Astelia Banks \& Sol. ex R. Br., Pleomele Salisb.), and a large range of dicots. The recorded hosts in the latter group span the following orders and families of eudicots (generic names after Wagner et al. 1999): Caryophyllales (Amaranthaceae: Charpentiera Gaudich.; Nyctaginaceae: Pisonia L.), Myrtales (Myrtaceae: Metrosideros Banks ex Gaertn., Syzygium Gaertn.), Celastrales (Celastraceae: Perrottetia Kunth.), Fabales (Fabaceae: Acacia Mill.), Malphigiales (Euphorbiaceae: Aleurites J. R. Forst. \& G. Forst., Antidesma L., Euphorbia L.), Oxalidales (Cunoniaceae: Cunonia L. ( = Weinmannia L.); Elaeocarpaceae: Elaeocarpus L.), Rosales (Urticaceae: Pipturus Wedd.), Malvales (Malvaceae: Hibiscadelphus Rock, Waltheria L.; Thymelaeaceae: Wikstroemia Endl.), Sapindales (Rutaceae: Zanthoxylum L.), Cornales (Hydrangeaceae: Broussaisia Gaudich.), Ericales (Myrsinaceae: Myrsine L. ( = Suttonia A. Rich.)), Gentianales (Apocynaceae: Alyxia Banks ex R. Br.; Rubiaceae: Bobea Gaudich., Coprosma J. R. Forst. \& G.Forst., Hedyotis L. ( = Gouldia A. Gray), Pelea A. Gray, Psychotria L.

( = Campylotheca Cass.); Goodeniaceae: Scaevola L.; Lobeliaceae: Lobelia L.). In a large genus of mainly xylophagous and island-inhabiting species, such a wide diversity of hosts without any apparent pattern of association is not unexpected. Host specificity seems low in aglycyderines, although Swezey (1927) identified several {\textquoteleft}true{\textquoteright} (v. {\textquoteleft}accidental{\textquoteright}) hosts for Proterhinus in Hawaii and Kuschel (2003) suspected Aralius to be associated only with Araliaceae (Pseudopanax in New Zealand). In Proterhinus, the most commonly recorded host genera are Psychotria (Rubiaceae), Euphorbia (Euphorbiaceae), Broussaisia (Hydrangeaceae) and Alyxia (Apocynaceae), and Rubiaceae is the family with the largest number of recorded host genera. In species whose larvae develop in living tissues (the leaf-mining species of Proterhinus, Perkins 1920) or in dying or freshly dead ones (Aralius, Kuschel 2003), host specificity is likely to be higher than in those that develop in dead bark or wood (Aglycyderes and most species of Proterhinus). Mining in living leaves appears to be a derived (secondarily evolved) association in Proterhinus, but in the absence of a better knowledge of host specificity in this genus, and of a phylogeny of its numerous species, any detailed analysis of the ancestral host associations of the aglycyderines is premature.TAXONOMYBelidaeOxycoryninae Schoenherr, 1840 Aglycyderini Wollaston, 1864 = Aglycyderidae Wollaston, 1864 [Aglycyderes Westwood] = Proterhinides Fauvel, 1891 [Proterhinus Sharp] = Proterhinidae; Sharp, 1899 = Proterhinini; Fauvel, 1903 = Aglycyderini; Fauvel, 1904 = Proterrhinidae; Kolbe, 1908 [lapsus] = Aglycyderoidea; Pierce, 1916 = Aglycideridae; Uyttenboogaart, 1937 [lapsus] = Platycephalitae Paulian, 1944 [Platycephala Montrouzier] = Aglycyderitae; Paulian, 1944 = Proterrhinoidea; Ienistea 1986 [lapsus] = Aglycyderinae; Kuschel, 1990 Aglycyderes Westwood, 1864 Type species: Aglycyderes setifer Westwood, 1864 Distribution: Canary Is., Morocco Aralius Kuschel, 1990 [Replacement name for Platycephala Montrouzier] Type species: Platycephala olivieri Montrouzier, 1861 Distribution: New Zealand, New Caledonia = Platycephala Montrouzier, 1861 (non Fall{\'e}n, 1820, nec Laporte, 1832) Type species: Platycephala olivieri Montrouzier, 1861 Proterhinus Sharp, 1878 Type species: Proterhinus vestitus Sharp, 1878 Distribution: Hawaii, Marquesas Is., Phoenix Is., Samoa, Society Is. = Proterrhinus Rye, 1880 [unjustified emendation]}, pages = {447-476}, abstract = {Phylogenetic relationships among the genera of the subfamily Oxycoryninae and other belids (Curculionoidea) were reconstructed by cladistic analysis using 21 terminals and 98 characters: 62 from imaginal morphology, 33 from larval morphology and three biological characters relating to host plants and larval feeding habits.

New information on the larvae and biology of the metrioxenines is used in phylogenetic reconstruction. In accord with the single optimal cladogram obtained, a revised classification of the Oxycoryninae is proposed. The subfamily is classified into three tribes (Oxycorynini, Metrioxenini and Aglycyderini), with the tribe Oxycorynini further classified into three subtribes (Oxycraspedina Marvaldi \& Oberprieler, subtr. nov., Oxycorynina and Allocorynina) and the tribe Metrioxenini into two subtribes (Metrioxenina and Afrocorynina (= Hispodini, syn. nov.)).

Location The islands of south-eastern Polynesia (southern Cook, Austral, Society, Tuamotu-Gambier and Marquesas archipelagos) in the Cook Islands and French Polynesia. Methods Internally feeding insects were collected as larvae from 23 endemic species of Glochidion (Euphorbiaceae s.l., Phyllanthaceae: Phyllanthus s.l.) trees on 20 islands in south-eastern Polynesia, reared and identified. Rearing records were compared with host records previously known from the literature and museum collections of closely related taxa in Asia and Australasia. Results Ninety per cent of insect specimens collected fall into five taxa previously known to attack Glochidion in Asia and Australasia (>=~6000~km distant), indicating a strong role for niche conservatism in the assembly of this community. Three of these taxa, two seed-feeding moths (Gracillariidae: Epicephala; Tortricidae: Tritopterna) and a leaf-mining moth (Gracillariidae: Diphtheroptila) are only known from Phyllanthaceae or Euphorbiaceae s.l. on continents. Two more taxa, another leaf-mining moth (Gracillariidae: Caloptilia) and a leaf-rolling moth (Tortricidae: Dudua), contain many species known only from Phyllanthaceae on continents, and are also very likely to represent examples of niche conservatism. Conversely, many numerically dominant insect taxa known from Glochidion on continents (such as parasitoid Hymenoptera) are not reported from south-eastern Polynesia. This indicates that the insular community represents a subset of those taxa from the continental community, consistent with the well-established Pacific diversity gradient. Main conclusions These findings indicate that niche conservatism can play an important role in the assembly of phytophagous insect communities on oceanic islands, despite the constraints that specialization might be expected to pose on successful establishment. As a result of this niche conservatism, these communities may represent less species-rich versions of continental tropical communities rather than non-analogue insular ecosystems.}, keywords = {adaptive radiation, Austral Islands, Caloptilia, community assembly, Cook Islands, Diphtheroptila, Dudua, Epicephala, French Polynesia, Gracillariidae, LEPIDOPTERA, Marquesas, Moorea, niche conservatism, oceanic islands, Pacific Insects, Phyllantheae, phytophagous insects, Society Islands, south-eastern Polynesia, TORTRICIDAE, Tritopterna}, isbn = {1365-2699}, author = {Hembry, David H. and Okamoto, Tomoko and McCormack, Gerald and Gillespie, Rosemary G.} } @article {96, title = {Inventory of Thysanoptera collected from French Polynesia}, journal = {Pacific SciencePacific Science}, volume = {62}, number = {4}, year = {2008}, note = {Hoddle, Mark S. 1; Email Address: mark.hoddle@ucr.edu Hoddle, Christina D. 1 Mound, Laurence A. 2; Affiliation: 1: Department of Entomology, University of California, Riverside, California 92521 2: Honorary Research Fellow, CSIRO Entomology, G.P.O.

At least 55 thrips species in 36 genera and three families were identified from 823 slide-mounted specimens that were collected from 61 host plants in 33 families. Twelve species are considered to be important pests. The greatest diversity of species, 43 (77\%), was collected from the Society Islands, with 60\% being recorded from Tahiti alone. Species diversity was intermediate in the Marquesas Islands at 43\% (24 species collected), with 35\% or 19 species being recorded from Nuku Hiva. Lowest diversity was recorded for the Austral Islands, with 38\% or 21 species being found in that archipelago. Less than 10\% of collected species are likely to be native, with the majority of identified thrips (>90\%) in French Polynesia representing a high diversity of exotic species (leaf, flower, and fungus feeders, and four predatory species) that have successfully infiltrated other island groups in the South Pacific. Survey results and subsequent estimates of thrips species diversity in French Polynesia should be interpreted with caution due to uncontrolled variation in sampling intensity that was affected by survey duration, time of year, and visitation frequency to islands.

Each hot spot archipelago (Societies, Marquesas, Australs) is chronologically arranged. With the advent of molecular techniques, relatively precise estimations of timing and source of colonization have become feasible. We compile data for the region, first examining colonization (some lineages dispersed from the west, others from the east). Within archipelagos, blackflies (Simulium) provide the best example of adaptive radiation in the Societies, though a similar radiation occurs in weevils (Rhyncogonus). Both lineages indicate that Tahiti hosts the highest diversity. The more remote Marquesas show clear examples of adaptive radiation in birds, arthropods and snails. The Austral Islands, though generally depauperate, host astonishing diversity on the single island of Rapa, while lineages on other islands are generally widespread but with large genetic distances between islands. More recent human colonization has changed the face of Polynesian biogeography. Molecular markers highlight the rapidity of Polynesian human (plus commensal) migrations and the importance of admixture from other populations during the period of prehistoric human voyages.

This singularity of purpose predicts that this sensoribehavioural network will regress if the selective force that originally maintained it is removed. We tested this with noctuid moths from the islands of Tahiti and Moorea, sites where bats have never existed and where an earlier study demonstrated that the ears of endemic species resemble those of adventives although partially reduced in sensitivity. To determine if these moths still express the anti-bat defensive behaviour of acoustic startle response (ASR) we compared the nocturnal flight times of six endemic to six adventive species in the presence and absence of artificial bat echolocation sounds. Whereas all of the adventive species reduced their flight times when exposed to ultrasound, only one of the six endemic species did so. These differences were significant when tested using a phylogenetically based pairwise comparison and when comparing effect sizes.

The objectives of the PBS Bishop Museum surveys in the Austral Islands were: 1) to assess the native aquatic insect fauna and describe the overall biodiversity of this fauna, 2) assess the biodiversity and status of Heteroptera and other important insects in native forest areas, 3) to assess the impacts or lack of impacts of introduced aquatic species on native stream biota, 4) to qualitatively assess the impacts of introduced species, feral ungulates, urbanization, on native insects, and 5) to provide museum specimens and an information baseline for future researchers.Significant findings of these surveys include a pristine native freshwater fauna lacking introductions of nonindigenous fish, amphibians, or aquatic reptiles on both Rapa and Raivavae Islands. Extensive research in Hawaii has shown the devastating impacts of alien fish species on the native stream fauna, and every effort should be made to avoid introductions of any non-native aquatic species to Rapa and Raivavae. Numerous undescribed aquatic insect species were found in Rapa and Raivavae, including new species andrange extensions of Heteroptera (true bugs), Diptera (aquatic flies), and Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies). A rich terrestrial native insect fauna with numerous undescribed species of Coleoptera (beetles), Diptera (flies), Heteroptera (true bugs), and Homoptera (planthoppers) and was also found on Rapa and Raivavae, although stands of native forest habitat for these insects were found to be severely reduced on both islands. The native species found on both islands are important on a worldwide basis, and preservation of this biodiversity is critical in preserving the rich Polynesian culture found on these islands. It is also necessary to preserve biodiversity to allow a greater understanding of the natural biological processes of dispersal and colonization of the fauna to these remote and isolated island areas. Native forests on Raivavae and Rapa were found to be critical for the survival of both the terrestrial and aquatic fauna of the Austral Islands. A good example of this interrelationship between forests and aquatic habitats is found with the damselflies on both Rapa and Raivavae that are aquatic during their immature phase, but as adults require forested areas to forage for food. The endemic native damselfly on Rapa was only found in forested areas, and never observed during sampling along many kilometers of deforestedstream habitat. Native vegetation was also critical for the newly found species of Raivavae damselfly, with this species also having similar forest requirements. Most of the native terrestrial insect biodiversity remaining on the island of Rapa is found in a narrow zone of native forest between 450-650 m at the summit of Mt. Perau. The collection of many undescribed species from Mt. Perau illustrates the point that despite two monographic works on the Lepidoptera and Miocalles weevils from Rapa, much remains to be studied on the insect fauna from this most intact native forest found on Rapa. To preserve a rich native biodiversity and Polynesian cultural heritage, it is imperative to protect the limited remaining native forests on Raivavae and Rapa. Working with the inhabitants of each island, forest reserve areas should be set up to protect the most important and biologically diverse areas. The areas that should receive the highest priority for protection would be the Mt. Perau area on Rapa, and the Mt. Hiro summit region and associated gulches on Raivavae.}, keywords = {Austral Islands, BIODIVERSITY, CONSERVATION, Crustacea, French Polynesia, Freshwater fauna, habitat, Mollusca, Pacific Insects, Raivavae, Rapa}, author = {Englund, R.

Moths are among the many taxa with undocumented biodiversity. There is biological interest in documenting which moth species are present and how they interact with the plant community. I collected 161 macrolepidopteran moths at a range of elevations on the island of Moorea, French Polynesia to explore their diversity and study their role as pollinators. I assembled a pollen library of 27 common plant species and attempted to match these pollens with pollen grains that were removed from moths. Although identification to species was not possible with all of the moths that were collected, I grouped them into morphospecies by wing pattern; 35 morphospecies were found. There were more species found at higher elevations. The abundance of some species changed with elevation. The most abundant morphospecies at all sites were non-endemics that are widely distributed throughout the South Pacific. Many moths were found to feed on the invasive Lantana camara and some fed on plants in the Myrtaceae. This study suggests that the moth fauna on Moorea is dominated by non-endemics, but that there may be some relictual endemics, especially at the higher elevations. It also suggests that invasive plants have a considerable impact on the moth fauna. Future research on Moorean moths should focus on accomplishing a more comprehensive survey of moth biodiversity and examining the interaction of the moth fauna with native and introduced plants.}, keywords = {distribution, French Polynesia, Geometridae, LEPIDOPTERA, Moorea, Noctuidae, Pacific Insects, pollination, Society Islands, Sphingidae}, author = {Darrouzet-Nardi, A.} } @article {22, title = {A monograph of the Genus Hestia, containing descriptions of forms not hitherto noticed; with a tabular view of the species of Danaidae, and remarks upon their natural affinities}, journal = {Transactions of the Entomological Society of LondonTransactions of the Entomological Society of London}, volume = {(series 3) 5}, year = {1868}, pages = {467-484}, keywords = {Danaidae, distribution, Euploea, French Polynesia, LEPIDOPTERA, Pacific Insects, Society Islands}, author = {Butler, A.G.} } @article {28, title = {Prevalence and penetrance variation of male-killing Wolbachia across Indo-Pacific populations of the butterfly Hypolimnas bolina}, journal = {Molecular EcologyMolecular Ecology}, volume = {14(11)}, year = {2005}, note = {10.1111/j.1365-294X.2005.02678.x}, pages = {3525-3530}, abstract = {Male-killing bacteria are generally thought to attain low to intermediate prevalence in natural populations, with only mild effects on the host population sex ratio. This view was recently challenged by reports of extremely high infection frequencies in three butterfly species, raising the prospect that male killers, by making males rare, might drive many features of host ecology and evolution. To assess this hypothesis, it is necessary to evaluate how often male killers actually produce a highly female-biased population sex ratio in nature, which requires both high prevalence of infection and high penetrance of action. To this end, we surveyed South Pacific and Southeast Asian populations of Hypolimnas bolina, a butterfly in which extreme prevalence of male-killing Wolbachia bacteria has recently been recorded. Our results indicate that highly female-biased populations are common in Polynesia, with 6 out of 12 populations studied having in excess of 70\% of females infected with a fully efficient male killer. However, heterogeneity is extreme in Polynesia, with the male-killing Wolbachia absent from three populations. In contrast to the Polynesian situation, Wolbachia does not kill males in any of the three Southeast Asian populations studied, despite its very high prevalence there. We conclude that male killers are likely to have significant ongoing ecological and evolutionary impact in 6 of the 15 populations surveyed. The causes and consequences of the observed spatial variation are discussed with respect to host resistance evolution, host ecology and interference with additional symbionts.}, keywords = {French Polynesia, Hypolimnas, LEPIDOPTERA, male-killing wolbachia, Nymphalidae, Pacific Insects, Papilionoidea, Wolbachia}, isbn = {1365-294X}, author = {Charlat, Sylvain and Hornett, Emily A. and Dyson, Emily A. and Ho, Patrick P.

It is an exciting time for the field of biology--we are sequencing whole genomes, devising sophisticated models to cope with accelerating climate change, and even tinkering with the possibility of bringing extinct species back to life. But in the meantime, we continue to ignore the documentation and discovery of the vast majority of extant life on our planet. Millions of species, each with their own unique evolutionary history and trajectory, remain unknown, waiting to tell us their story and teach us their strategies for success. Here, my collaborators and I demonstrate the importance of documenting the diversity contained within a single lineage of insects, from examining the best methods for accurately determining numbers of species to showing the downstream benefits of incorporating that knowledge into local education for the benefit of all.In the first chapter, we revise the taxonomy of a lineage of plant bugs (Hemiptera: Miridae) that has radiated in the islands of French Polynesia. Six species of endemic Pseudoloxops/italic> plant bugs were previously known from two islands in French Polynesia, indicating a small radiation. We collected ecological, morphological, molecular, and geographical data for hundreds of fresh and historical Pseudoloxops/italic> specimens, expanding the genus{\textquoteright} range to nine islands in two archipelagoes (the Austral and Society Islands). We combined all of the above data sources in an iterative integrative taxonomy framework to test the six existing species hypotheses and to search for new diversity. We confirmed 3 of the 6 original species designations and synonymized the remaining 3 species, and delimited and described an additional 23 species, for a total of 26. Our analysis demonstrates the value of an integrative approach, as we discovered cryptic species and color polymorphism that may have been missed or misinterpreted using a species concept that relied on a single line of evidence. We also found evidence for population-level diversification and discuss the potential for future research on the role of color in this radiation.In the second chapter, we explore the relative importance of ecology and geographic isolation in this lineage to provide a first approximation of whether the radiation was adaptive or non-adaptive. We collected Pseudoloxops/italic> from a wide range of plants, with 27 species in 25 different plant families and 13 orders. We then inferred a combined Bayesian molecular phylogeny from three genes, including 25 of the 26 known Pseudoloxops/italic> species, to examine the roles of plant affiliation and geography (island distribution) in speciation. We reconstructed the ancestral states using parsimony for these two characters, and found 12 speciation events that were well-supported in the phylogeny. Both plant-switching and island-hopping were correlated with speciation. For the 7 speciation events for which we could unequivocally determine plant affiliation before and after speciation, 4 were associated with a plant shift. For the 8 speciation events where island distribution could be reconstructed, two involved shifts to a new island. There were 5 cases for which we could determine both character states before and after speciation. In three of them, speciation occurred within the same locality with a switch in plant taxonomic order, suggesting that the lineage has great dietary versatility. However, much more research into feeding needs to be conducted, as anecdotal evidence from Pseudoloxops/italic> outside of French Polynesia suggests they may be facultative predators. In the other two speciation events, there was neither a geographic shift nor a change in plant affiliation, suggesting some other mechanism for speciation. Based on our results, both plant-switching and geography have played a role in the diversification of this radiation. Finally, plant switching from flowering plants (angiosperms) to ferns was observed in two different parts of the radiation. This finding was surprising for two reasons--first, plant bugs are rarely associated with ferns, likely because of their highly toxic secondary compounds, and second because the expectation on islands is that organisms colonize ferns first and then switch on to other plants, since ferns are often among the first plants to arrive on newly formed oceanic islands. While a better-resolved phylogeny is needed to reconstruct the timing of speciation events, the character polarity in our phylogeny indicates that angiosperm use is basal to fern use.In the third chapter, we address the larger societal impact of taxonomic and biodiversity research by examining the effect of a natural history-driven curriculum on elementary schoolchildren{\textquoteright}s scientific knowledge. While studies have demonstrated the potential for natural history education to improve children{\textquoteright}s attitudes towards and knowledge of science and nature, few studies have been done in areas where indigenous culture heavily influences children{\textquoteright}s worldview. The lead author taught a nine-month natural history/biodiversity class focused on insects and plants to fifth-graders at the Pao Pao elementary school on the French Polynesian island of Moorea and tested their scientific knowledge before and after receiving the program. We compared their results to a control that did not receive the program, and while both cohorts improved, the experimental group{\textquoteright}s improvement was significantly greater (mean of 82.2\% vs. 30.5\%). We performed a delayed post-test evaluation three years after the conclusion of the program with a subset of the experimental cohort to test their retention and interest in science. A one-way ANOVA revealed significant differences between their pre-, post-, and delayed post-test scores, with the post- and follow-up scores significantly higher than the pre-scores. While the raw delayed post-test scores were lower than the post-scores, suggesting some regression, this finding was not statistically significant. The follow-up students also reported a strong interest in science, with 66.7\% answering the question "Do you like science?" with "yes" and 20\% with "sort of." They also indicated a strong affinity for insects and plants, with 50\% of them volunteering insects as their favorite subject in science and 26.7\% volunteering plants. Finally, the qualitative coding of the experimental group{\textquoteright}s test and survey responses revealed both the influence of indigenous culture on their scientific understanding and the appeal of taxonomy and field trips to children. When prompted for an example of a native plant, 24\% of the experimental group named a plant introduced by the Polynesians, suggesting the misconception that plants with a prevalent role in indigenous culture have always been there. In the follow-up survey, 36.7\% mentioned the field trips among their memories of the course, and 20\% gave full scientific names for species they recalled from the class. The latter contrasts with the commonly held belief that taxonomy is too arcane to connect with the general public.Overall, our research demonstrates the scientific and societal benefits of thorough natural history and biodiversity studies. The use of integrative methods allowed for the discovery of a staggering number of plant bug species in a very small area of land, and the documentation of ecological attributes allowed us to show how this radiation of bugs has been both adaptive and non-adaptive. The integration of this biodiversity information and a focus on traditionally "uncharismatic" groups of organisms (insects and plants) in local education provided substantial gains in schoolchildren{\textquoteright}s scientific knowledge, and perhaps more importantly, helped to popularize science and nature. Our hope is that this work inspires future graduate students to pursue research on the unknown and the undiscovered, and to link their findings directly to local communities.}, keywords = {distribution, French Polynesia, Hemiptera, Miridae, morphology, Pacific Insects, Psuedoloxops}, author = {Balukjian, B.J.} } @article {11, title = {Araign{\'e}es de Polyn{\'e}sie}, journal = {Annales de la Soci{\'e}t{\'e} Entomologique de FranceAnnales de la Soci{\'e}t{\'e} Entomologique de France}, volume = {103}, number = {3-4}, year = {1934}, pages = {321-336}, keywords = {Araneae, Araneidae, Austral Islands, Cook Islands, description, distribution, Easter Island, Fiji, French Polynesia, Lycosidae, Marquesas, Moorea, Pacific Insects, Rapa, Rapa Nui, Rurutu, Salticidae, Samoa, Scytodidae, Society Islands, Tahiti, Tetragnatha, Tetragnathidae, Theridiidae, Thomisidae, Tonga, Tuamotu, Uloboridae}, author = {Berland, Lucien} } @book {12, title = {Voyage de d{\'e}couvertes de l{\textquoteright}Astrolabe.
