Insects in expanding education and entertainment in Taiwan
Man-Miao Yang 한국곤충학회 2008 Entomological Research Vol.38 No.-
Taiwan, an island of approximately 36000 km2 area, includes stunning diversity in both habitat and biota because of its transitional position. Where the Tropic of Cancer cuts across the middle of the island and the east Philippine plate subducts into the Eurasia plate, the landscape and weather are extremely congenial for a highly diverse biota to develop over the years in Taiwan. Such a natural endowment has enabled diverse habitats for wildlife to evolve. Insects are especially abundant in Taiwan. For example, about 400 species of butterflies occur in Taiwan. Export of aesthetically attractive insects, such as butterflies and beetles, is an ongoing key industry in Taiwan right from the early to middle 20th century. As the economic preferences moved towards high technology with a concurrent understanding of biological diversity and the concept of conservation grew strong, use of insect materials have currently moved towards education and entertainment. Besides the exhibition of traditional methods of insect collection, several newly developed insectaria are presently integrated into Taiwanese museums, zoos, and university departments using modern technology for displaying activities of live insects. Summer camps offer plentiful opportunities for children to learn about insects. Volunteers, with appropriate research skills and extensive scientific knowledge are involved in these exhibitions. Rearing of "pet" insects is popular and, consequently, enabled the growth of some specific supply companies. Traditionally, insect resources are used in many aspects, such as in medicine and food and extraction of insect products such as silk and honey; occasionally some of the insects are useful as even game animals. Fighting crickets provide entertainment, and occasionally used in gambling as well. Insects provide diverse and abundant resources and are an excellent material deserved for better exploration in many aspects.

The mulberry psyllid Anomoneura mori Schwarz is reported for the first time from Taiwan. This species is associated with the mulberry tree and is a pest of sericulture. Adults and larvae are described and illustrated for identification. The topic of invasive species is further discussed.

Chang-Ti Tang,Man-Miao Yang,GrahamN. Stone,James A. Nicholls,George Melika 한국응용곤충학회 2016 Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology Vol.19 No.2
A new species of oak gall wasp, Plagiotrochus tarokoensis Tang and Melika sp. nov., is described fromTaiwan. The species induces integral leaf galls on Quercus tarokoensis (Fagaceae). Data on the diagnosis, distribution, and biology of the new species are given. This is the second known Plagiotrochus species from the Oriental region and the first one known to associate with the Ilex group of section Cerris oaks within Quercus linnaeus subgenus Quercus.

It has been postulated that grana stacking and destacking are mediated by the alteration of the surface charge density on the thylakoid membrane, which is regulated by the LHCII phosphorylation and dephosphorylation cycle. Insect-induced cecidomyiid galls, transformed from Machilus thunbergii Sieb & Zucc. (Lauraceae) leaves, are totally deficient in the pigment–protein complexes CPI and A1 of PSI and AB1 and AB2 of PSII. Although the galls are deficient in LHCII complex, grana stacking is normal. Our data suggest that the LHCII complex may not be the only factor responsible for grana stacking of thylakoid membranes.

The genus Schizomyia Kieffer (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) is newly recorded in Taiwan and Schizomyia maesae Elsayed, Lin & Tokuda n. sp. that forms irregular galls on stems of Maesa perlaria (Lour.) Merr. var. formosana (Primulaceae) is described as new to science. A description of larva, pupa and adults, illustrations and ecological features of the new species are given. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:FDCB79DA-1483-48FA-9235-66BFC97AFC65.

The genus Bruggmanniella Tavares is newly discovered from Taiwan and Bruggmanniella brevipes sp. n. is described as new to science. This is the southernmost species of Bruggmanniella found in the Old World. Furthermore, the gall midge induces bud galls on Neolitsea parvigemma (Hayata) Kaneh (Lauraceae), an endemic species in Taiwan, and the plant genus Neolitsea is the third host genus of Lauraceae-associated Bruggmanniella in East Asia. The knowledge of its distribution and host information provide us to shed the light on evolutionary and biogeography issue of East Asian Bruggmanniella.
