President’s Message
Welcome to Knoxville and ENTOMOL-
OGY 2012 – the 60th Annual Meet-
ing of the Entomological Society of
America. This is the first time that the ESA has
met in this fine city, and it has much to rec-
ommend as a venue. It is within easy driving
distance for much of our membership; many
small restaurants and pubs are nearby; the
Convention Center is a beautiful and relatively
new facility with a highly competent and pro-
fessional staff. We will have a great meeting
in Knoxville!
The meeting’s theme for this year, “A Global
Society for a Global Science,” celebrates a
new vision for the Society. The ESA has begun
to transition from a predominantly national
society to one that is truly international. Our
International Branch is increasing its member-
ship by 50% per year and is the fastest grow-
ing of our six branches. More than half of
our manuscript submissions are from authors
outside the United States. Attendees at this
meeting will come from more than 50 coun-
tries and live presentations will be delivered from every continent
except Antarctica. In addition to these international trends, several
important new developments will accelerate ESA’s leadership role
on the global stage. These include new membership models for
international members, more services for non-U.S. members, new
programs, and international meetings. These will be announced at
the Opening Session on Sunday night, and you do not want to miss
that session!
This theme for ENTOMOLOGY 2012 has been successful in attracting
a large number of high-quality symposia. 98 symposia will be pre-
sented at this meeting–a new record for the Society! The Program
Symposia, in particular, are exciting symposia and were chosen from
105 entries. Please see the Program Chairs’ Message for more de-
tails on these symposia.
The level of symposium interest often correlates with degree of in-
terest in the meeting, and this year is no exception. In addition to
the large number of symposium submissions, we have 2,400 total
presentations, substantially more than some recent annual meet-
ings. Along with the exhibitor interest and early registration rates,
this submission level indicates that ENTOMOLOGY 2012 will be one
of our largest meetings in years!
As always, our meetings are heavily dependent on selfless dedica-
tion of our colleagues who have invested enormous amounts of
time, energy, thought, and effort into making this a memorable and
successful meeting. Among the many people who have served,
none have given more than our Program Co-Chairs, Mike Jackson
and Jerome Grant. Program Chairs lead the Program Committee,
which assembles the scientific program for the meeting, schedul-
ing every paper and scientific session; and they write the program
book program book manuscript. Their efforts began at the end of
the 2010 meeting and will continue to the end of the 2013 meeting.
Their only compensation for the hundreds of hours they invest in
this massive effort is the thanks they receive from the membership.
If you enjoy the program as much as I be-
lieve that you will, please remember to thank
these hard-working folks.
Another group that deserves our thanks is our
ESA staff. Our still relatively-new Executive
Director, David Gammel, has just completed
his first full year at the helm of the ESA office;
and he has brought much vision and leader-
ship to that position. Our other director-level
professional staff includes familiar names
such as Alan Kahan (Publications), Neil Wil-
loughby (Finance), and Debi Sutton (Mem-
bership). We also welcome back Chris Stelzig
(Certification) as a member of our staff again
(although he never really left). All of these
folks and the other ESA staff are highly pro-
fessional and essential members of our team
again this year. The modern ESA simply could
not function without them. They, too, deserve
our thanks.
One staff item of special interest to the An-
nual Meeting is that of Director of Meetings.
The Director of Meetings arranges every nonscientific aspect of the
meeting: The décor, contracts with the hotels and convention cen-
ter, menus at receptions, the audio–-visual arrangements, exhibit
hall booths, and a million other details. We have outsourced this
critical activity for the past six years; but this year, we decided to
bring a Director of Meetings back in-house. I am pleased to intro-
duce Rosina Romano as our new director, and this is her first ESA
meeting here in Knoxville. She has done a superb job, and I hope
will continue to do so for many years into the future.
One challenge that we have this year is that, in addition to hosting
our meeting, Knoxville (home of the University of Tennessee) is also
hosting a home football game between Tennessee and the Univer-
sity of Missouri on Saturday night. The football stadium, which seats
105,000, is very near the Convention Center (easy walking distance).
Thus, the game has complicated our housing arrangements for Sat-
urday night and will affect some of our premeeting functions. To
compensate for the inconvenience, we are holding a tailgate party
on the terrace of the Convention Center featuring barbeque, bev-
erages, and entertainment. It is an opportunity to connect with old
friends before the meeting gets underway. We also have a block of
tickets for the game that are available on a first-come-first-served
basis. See the ENTOMOLOGY 2012 Web site for more details.
You will be hearing more about ENTOMOLOGY 2012 over the next
few weeks. I’m quite sure that, as the excitement builds toward this
meeting, you will be glad that you decided to attend. This meeting
will be a historic one for the Society; and years from now, you will
be proud to say that you were at the Knoxville meeting in 2012!
See you there,
Grayson Brown

On behalf of the 2012 ESA
Program Committee, we
welcome you to ENTOMOL-
OGY 2012, the 60th Annual Meet-
ing of the Entomological Society
of America—the largest annual
gathering of entomologists in the
world! Our meeting continues
to grow, and this year more than
2,400 oral papers and posters will
be presented by entomologists
from around the world. With this
many presentations, it is necessary
to have a full schedule for each of
the four days of the meeting. At-
tendees can expect each day to
contain a diverse, relevant, and
interesting program; and we en-
courage you to stay for the entire
meeting. Pre and post-conference activities may tempt you to stay
even longer!
At the close of last year’s annual meeting in Reno, President
Grayson Brown introduced the theme for ENTOMOLOGY 2012,
“A Global Society for a Global Science.” This theme is especially
relevant in the society in which we live, where innovations in
transportation and communication have shrunk our world and
made it necessary to think globally. Many entomological problems
are intrinsically global in nature and must be approached as such.
Several symposia at this meeting will address relevant issues of
the global science of entomology and provide insight into many of
the world’s most vexing entomological problems. This ESA meeting
promotes opportunities for these entomologists to share their
science with the world. Thousands of entomologists from more
than 50 countries will gather for four days to network, learn, and
share our science. Covering all aspects of the science, we truly are
now a global society. We encourage you to visit the ESA Web site
and read more from President Brown about this year’s theme.
When the 2012 Program Committee solicited proposals for program
symposia that exemplified the global theme, we were pleased to
receive 105 proposals. From that list and additional submissions,
we selected 6 Program Symposia, 33 Section Symposia, and 59
Member Symposia that contain 934 exciting presentations. We also
selected one Virtual Section Symposium with seven speakers from
four countries. Many of these symposia are excellent examples of
how we, as a global society, can provide cutting-edge information
to conserve insect biodiversity, solve worldwide pest problems, and
inform policy makers to improve their decision-making. Many great
examples are found throughout the program, and each of the six
featured Program Symposia has a global theme:
• Linkages between Climate Change and Global Insect Pestilence:
From Theory to Practice. Organizers: Aaron S. Weed and Lauren
E. Culler, Dartmouth College; Tobin Northfield, University of
California–Davis; and Sanford D. Eigenbrode, University of Idaho.
• Ecological and Evolutionary Origins of Insect Pests in Agriculture:
The Role of Crop Domestication and Global Crop Translocation.
Organizers: Yolanda H. Chen, University of Vermont; and Raul F.
Medina, Texas A&M University.
• RNAi: From Basic Science toward Application. Organizers:
Qisheng Song, University of Missouri; Subba R. Palli, University
of Kentucky; Yongping Huang, Chinese Academy of Sciences; and
David Denlinger, The Ohio State University.
• Current Global Trends in Forensic Entomology. Organizer: Ralph
E. Williams, Purdue University.
• Linking Global Agricultural Production with Pollination Services.
Organizers: Eleanor Blitzer, Mia
G. Park, and Jessica D. Petersen,
Cornell University.
• Genetic Pest Management:
Global Strategies, Hurdles, and
Future Directions. Organizers:
Brian G. Rector, USDA–ARS; and
Fred Gould, North Carolina State
University.
We especially are honored to
facilitate two symposia that pay
tribute to recently deceased
ESA members who were
outstanding scientists. They
are “A Celebration of the Life
and Scientific Contributions of
Carl Jones” (Organizers: David
Taylor and Jerome A. Hogsette,
USDA–ARS), and “Remembering the Life and Work of Nancy
Beckage” (Organizers: Florence Dunkel, Montana State University;
and Karen M. Kester, Virginia Commonwealth University). Other
special symposia celebrate the 150th anniversary of the United
States Department of Agriculture and the 100th anniversary of the
Entomology Department at Purdue University.
The rest of the 2012 program is also very exciting. For instance,
we are delighted that on Sunday, Dr. Gene Kritsky will present the
2012 Founders’ Memorial Award Lecture that will honor the career
of Charles Darwin. We are also excited that we have 486 regular
10-minute presentations arranged according to ESA Section into
33 sessions. In addition, 416 regular posters will be displayed on
Tuesday and Wednesday. The four ESA Sections will have Monday
afternoon for section business, special presentations, and highlights
of section activities.
Student entomologists continue to play a vital role in our society;
and their participation is reflected throughout our annual meeting.
We have 412 student 10-minute presentations and 210 student
posters competing for the President’s Prize. Student presentations
will be delivered on Monday morning, and the competition posters
will be available for viewing all day Monday. We are looking
forward to the three timely student debates entitled, “What is the
best individual solution to feeding the world’s growing population?,”
“What is the best individual solution to solving the threat of global
climate change?,” and “What is the best individual solution to
meeting the world’s growing energy demand?” to be held Tuesday
afternoon in the Lecture Hall. The preliminary round of the
Linnaean Games takes place on Sunday; the final round is Tuesday
evening, followed by the Student Awards Presentation and Student
Reception on the Plaza Terrace.
Due to the success of the “Lunch-and-Learn” sessions over the past
two years at San Diego and Reno, we are happy to continue with
them for ENTOMOLOGY 2012. These sessions provide practical
advice and topics for discussion in an informal setting that should
be of interest to a wide cross-section of our membership. This
year’s sessions will cover a range of topics: “How to Navigate the
Annual Meeting and How to Get the Most Out of ESA,” “Interview
Techniques” with Scott Hutchinson, “Lunch and Learn with Sonny
Ramaswamy and Colleagues from NIFA”, a “Hands-on Photography
Demonstration” organized by Cheri Abraham and Ric Bessin and
“Politics and Science: How Congress and the President Impact Your
Work (and what you can do about it)” with Robert Gropp from the
American Institute of Biological Sciences.
We continue to take advantage of recent technology to improve the

program and make it more accessible to attendees. An enhanced
mobile app will feature an easy search option for the entire program
and connect to your online personal scheduler (if you created
one!). The QR code scanner will allow you to learn more about
a session, poster, or exhibitor right on your mobile device. As in
previous years, “virtual posters” will give even more international
entomologists an opportunity to present their work; attendees in
Knoxville will be able to view the posters and interact remotely with
the presenters and discuss their research. We also have dedicated
two rooms at the conference site to handle remote video–audio
links that allow international presenters to speak and interact with
the audience in Knoxville from a location abroad in real time. Both
capabilities will strengthen the presence of ESA internationally.
We invite you to take advantage of the many opportunities,
entomological and otherwise, that the Knoxville area has to
offer. We are pleased to offer three tour/activity options for
ENTOMOLOGY 2012. The first activity is a Tailgate Party and tickets
to the inaugural college football game between SEC rivals, the
University of Tennessee and the University of Missouri on Saturday
(November 10). The party will feature bluegrass music, Tennessee
barbeque, and a few surprises! The university is adjacent to the
Knoxville Convention Center, and the stadium is within walking
distance from most of the downtown Knoxville hotels. Enjoy the
pageantry of the football game with more than 100,000 football
fans at the third largest non-racing stadium in the United States
On Tuesday and Wednesday (November 13 and 14), tours will go
to the University of Tennessee’s “Body Farm” (the University of
Tennessee Anthropological Research Facility), the premier research
facility for studying the decomposition of human remains under
various conditions. The final tour will be to the Discover Life in
America Facility on Thursday (November 15). The Discover Life in
America center is part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park,
the most visited national park in the United States. In addition, the
Knoxville area has much to offer in the way of Americana history,
including the roots of bluegrass music. Market Square and the Old
City, just a short walk from the Convention Center and downtown
hotels, are home to several unique restaurants, bars, clubs, and
shops. Knoxville was home to the 1982 World’s Fair. You can still
visit the World’s Fair Park and explore the iconic Sunsphere, where
you can take an elevator to the Observation Deck for a glimpse of
Knoxville the way it is today and the way it was in 1982.
It has been a pleasure working with the entire 2012 Program
Planning Committee, which includes Student Competition Co-
chairs (and next year’s Program Co-chairs) Marianne Alleyne
and Luis Cañas; Poster Co-chairs (and last year’s Program Co-
chairs) Andrew Norton and Paul Ode; MUVE (Medical, Urban,
and Veterinary Entomology) Section President Chris Geden and
Vice-President Edward D. Walker; PBT (Physiology, Biochemistry,
and Toxicology) Section President S. Reddy Palli and Vice-
President Michael Strand; P–IE (Plant–Insect Ecosystems)
Section President Bonnie Pendleton and Vice-President Gary
Thompson; SEB (Systematics, Evolution, and Biodiversity) Section
President Kelly Miller and Vice-President Christiane Weirauch;
and Student Liaison Joy Newton. President Brown has been
an active member of the committee throughout the process.
We thank ESA headquarters for providing more than $55,000
in program enhancement funds to encourage participation by
nonentomologists and foreign scientists in ENTOMOLOGY 2012.
We are particularly indebted to ESA staff, including C. David
Gammel, CAE (Executive Director), Rosina Romano, CMP (Director
of Meetings), Debi Sutton (Director of Membership and Marketing),
Alan Kahan (Director of Publications and Communications), Cindy
Myers (Manager of Meetings and Exhibits), Chris Selzig (Director
of Certification), Pamela Reid (Manager of Membership and
Member Relations), Neil Willoughby (Director of Finance), Richard
Levine (Communications Program Manager), Adele Compton
(Finance Assistant), and Elizabeth Caesar (Desktop Publisher/
Web Coordinator). The staff at Confex has done a tremendous job
supporting the Program Committee, and we especially thank Tori
Daigle for her diligent assistance. Special thanks go to Beth Mitchell
of Starrmark Communications for assistance in editing and proofing
this year’s program. When you see each of these hard-working
individuals in Knoxville, please thank them in person for their efforts
to make this meeting as informative, timely, diverse, beneficial,
enjoyable, and global, as possible. We hope you reap the benefits
of their hard work!
We look forward to seeing you in Knoxville!

ProgramInformation
The University of Tennessee Anthropological Research Facility (the
“Body Farm”), part of the Forensic Anthropology Center, is the first
of its kind to permit systematic study of human decomposition.
For more than three decades, the Forensic Anthropology Center
has garnered an international reputation for research on human
decomposition and modern human variation. The Body Farm, an
outdoor field laboratory founded by Dr. William Bass, enables the
investigation of parameters that are crucial in-time-since-death
estimates. This facility also is used to train the medico medical
legal community and law enforcement officers in recovery of
human remains. The forensic anthropology center’s body donation
program enables the educational and research activities that have
contributed to a better understanding of insects as forensic tools.
A limited number of ENTOMOLOGY 2012 attendees will have the
unique opportunity to tour this facility and get a behind-the-scenes
overview of the Body Farm and learn about its role in advancing
forensic anthropology.

Tuesday, November 14, 12:15 – 1:15 PM
National politics and policy priorities influence the conduct of
science (e.g., funding for research), and how or whether scientific
information is used to inform policy decisions. Scientists can
and should play a role in ensuring that lawmakers understand
the ramifications of their decisions on science and society. To
do this, scientists need to know how, who, when, and where
to communicate with lawmakers. This program will provide
information about key national players influencing science policy
and will consider the potential ramifications of the November
elections.

Annual Founders’ Memorial Lecture
Dr. Gene Kritsky, editor-in-chief of ESA’s American Entomologist
and a professor of biology at Cincinnati’s College of Mount St. Jo-
seph, will deliver the Founders’ Memorial Award lecture and honor
Charles Darwin.
Although not often remembered as an entomologist, Darwin pub-
lished numerous articles on insects, used entomological examples
to support his theories of species origin and sexual selection; and
he made countless references to insects in his books. His fascina-
tion with insects began in his youth and continued throughout his
lifetime. Dr. Kritsky has published on Darwin for 35 years, includ-
ing working closely with members of the Darwin family. He curated
the exhibit “Charles Darwin: A Portrait Biography,” which has been
on tour in the United States and England for the past 27 years. His
work on Darwin has received international attention, with articles
appearing in Scientific American, Discover, The New York Times, and
Der Spiegel. Dr. Kritsky will discuss Charles Darwin’s work and how
it affects entomologists today.

Responsible Conduct of Research
(RCR) Training
Ballroom A, Knoxville Convention Center
Why RCR Training?
Section 7009 of the 2007 America Creating Opportunities to
Meaningfully Promote Excellence in Technology, Education, and
Science (COMPETES) Act (42 U.S.C. 1862o-1) requires that “each
institution that applies for financial assistance from the National
Science Foundation [NSF] for science and engineering research
or education describe in its grant proposal a plan to provide
appropriate training and oversight in the responsible and ethical
conduct of research to undergraduate students, graduate students,
and postdoctoral researchers participating in the proposed research
project (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2009-08-20/html/E9-
19930.htm).” Furthermore, RCR “… is critical for excellence, as well

Program Information

ProgramInformation
as public trust, in science and engineering. Consequently, education
in RCR is considered essential in the preparation of future scientists
and engineers.”
Who, Me?
RCR training is required by NSF (http://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/
policy/rcr.jsp) for all postdoctoral researchers, graduate students,
technicians, and undergraduate students who are supported
on an NSF grant that was submitted on or after 4 January 2010.
Appropriate and on-going oversight by the Principal Investigator is
also essential.
ESA Policy
Ethical and responsible conduct of research is such an important
element of preparation for a professional career in science that
ESA recommends that all students take RCR training , even if not
currently supported by a grant.
ESA RCR Training Topics:
• Data Management
• Conflict-of-Interest
• Protection of Human Subjects
• Animal Welfare
• Research Misconduct
• Publication and Authorship
• Mentor–Trainee Responsibilities
• Peer Review
• Collaborative Science
• Intellectual Property
• Plagiarism
• Scientists as Responsible Members of Society—Environmental and
Societal Impacts of Scientific Research
A certificate of completion will be issued to each student who fin-
ishes the training.
Important: Students must check with their universities to ensure
that ESA RCR Training will be accepted as meeting the require-
ments of that university.
Preregistration is required via the ENTOMOLOGY 2012 registration
site, space is limited. Please stop by the ESA Registration and Infor-
mation Center to check onsite availability.

Poster Presentations
Printed Posters
The Program Committee has scheduled three sessions of poster pre-
sentations for the Annual Meeting. Posters are numbered sequen-
tially in the Program Book and where possible, grouped according
to ESA Section and subject matter. Authors must display their post-
ers on the board bearing the same number as that indicated in the
Program Book for each poster.
Poster Size: Each poster must be contained within the 46 × 46 inch
(117 × 117 cm) space provided. Two posters will be displayed on
each side of a single board (four posters per board). The poster
must NOT exceed the size limit. Please be considerate of the person
with whom you are sharing a display space.
Set Up: Your poster must be placed in the assigned space in the
exhibit hall the night before your poster is scheduled, i.e., Sunday,
Monday, and Tuesday between 7:30 and 9:30 PM. Bring your own
Velcro strips (push pins are not allowed in the exhibit hall) to secure
your display to the poster board. The poster board is covered with
felt cloth, and the frame is aluminum. Please do not attach anything
to the metal frame.
Poster Presentation Times: Because the Exhibit Hall becomes quite
congested during midday presentation hours, presenters of posters
with odd and even numbers are assigned specific times to be pres-
ent at their posters. Attach a card to your poster listing additional
times that you will be present. Authors of all Monday posters are
scheduled to be available early in the day to avoid conflicts with the
Section meetings in the afternoon. Presenters are expected to be
available at their displays during the “Presenters Present” time slot
for questions and discussion.
Poster Removal: Posters should be removed promptly between
6:00 and 7:00 PM on Monday and Tuesday, and between 2:00
and 3:00 PM on Wednesday. Do not remove poster numbers
when removing posters from boards. Student Competition au-
thors should not remove the student competition cards when
removing posters.

Founders’ Memorial Award
Dr. Gene Kritsky, editor-in-chief of ESA’s American
Entomologist and a professor of biology at the
College of Mount St. Joseph, Cincinnati, will deliver
the Founders’ Memorial Award lecture. This year’s
honoree is Charles Darwin (1809–1882), whose
theory of evolution by natural selection helped to
transform entomology from a hobby for collectors
to a science.
Dr. Gene Kritsky is the author of more than 125 peer-reviewed
papers and six books, and he is the lead scientist on five traveling
museum exhibits. Dr. Kritsky received his B.A. degree in biology
in 1974 from Indiana University; he received his M.S. degree and
Ph.D. in 1976 and 1977, respectively, in entomology from the
University of Illinois. His research has made significant contributions
to the understanding of the history and evolution of periodical
cicadas, the history of entomology, and apiculture. Dr. Kritsky
has worked on periodical cicadas for 35 years and is the author
of Periodical Cicadas: the Plague and the Puzzle. His prediction
in 2000 of a four-year acceleration of Brood X proved true. That
research permitted a detailed survey of off-year accelerations,
which verified that such accelerations can result in populations
that survive intense predation and are able to sing, mate, and
reproduce. With the emergence of these cicadas in 2017, Dr. Kritsky
will have documented the origin of a new brood in Ohio. His other
findings include the verification of the plasticity of nymphal cicada
growth, the discovery of a 13-year brood in northern Kentucky and
southwestern Ohio, and the development of a model to predict
when in May a brood should emerge; this model makes it possible
for arboreta, parks, and cemeteries to schedule events accordingly.
Finally, Dr. Kritsky, collaborating with Dr. George Poinar, Jr., co-
described the oldest definitive fossil cicada nymph.
Dr. Kritsky’s apicultural contributions focus on the history of
beekeeping. He was a contributor to the American Bee Journal, and
his most recent book, The Quest for the Perfect Hive, challenges
the beekeeping industry to reexamine hive designs and practices
for innovations that could help deal with the many problems facing
beekeeping today. The critically successful book was selected
by Seed Magazine as a February 2010 “book to read now.” The
Capital Area Beekeepers Association review read, “This is one of
those books that will become a classic of beekeeping literature for
its content, design, illustrations, and pure quality of the writing.
No beekeeper should be without it.” More recently, Dr. Kritsky
completed a major review of beekeeping in ancient Egypt. This
research started when he was a Fulbright scholar to Egypt during
1981–1982 and continued with recent travels to Egypt and Europe.
Dr. Kritsky also learned how to translate hieroglyphs to better
interpret Egyptian reliefs, leading to a better understanding of
how beekeeping was performed more than 4,500 years ago.
He also corrected earlier reconstructions of beekeeping scenes
from two tombs. In addition to bees, Dr. Kritsky examined all the
insects that played a role in Egyptian mythology, developing new
explanations for their mythological importance. The quality of this
work is documented by its inclusion as a reference in the Oxford
Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt.
As a teacher, Dr. Kritsky has designed entomology courses at
three institutions and is coauthor of an entomology textbook
for undergraduate biology students. He has published more
than 25 papers with undergraduate student coauthors, and this
has encouraged several students to seek advanced entomology
degrees. In 1985, Dr. Kritsky received the College of Mount St.
Joseph’s highest teaching award, and in 1999, he received the
College’s Alumni Appreciation Award. His efforts to promote
science education through the National Association of Academies
of Science were responsible for his election as a Fellow of the
American Association for the Advancement of Science. Dr. Kritsky’s
teaching is not limited to the classroom setting. He has served as
a consultant for several television programs, including Sir David
Attenborough’s “Life in the Undergrowth” and “Supersense”. He
has appeared on several news programs, including the CBS Evening
News, ABC Evening News, The Today Show, Good Morning America,
A&E’s Biography, and CBS Sunday Morning. In 2004, he was America
Online’s cicada expert for the Brood X emergence, and his cicada
Web site received more than 7 million hits. He also served as the
lead scientist for the Cincinnati Museum’s Center’s traveling exhibits
“The Weakening Web,” “In the Dark,” and “Beakman’s World.”
Kritsky has published on Darwin for 35 years, and he has worked
closely with members of the Darwin family on a number of projects.
During 2001-2002, he spent his sabbatical at Cambridge University
working with the Darwin Correspondence Project to transcribe
Darwin’s research notes for The Descent of Man, a publication with
numerous insect references. This project led to his appointment as
a contributing editor of the American Museum of Natural History’s
Darwin manuscripts project; Dr. Kritsky’s Descent transcription has
been published online by AMNH. In 2008, he published a review
of the 19th-century entomological reaction to Darwin’s Origin of
Species in the Annual Review of Entomology. Dr. Kritsky’s work on
Darwin has received international attention with features appearing
in Scientific American, Discover, The New York Times, and Der
Spiegel. His ESA publication on Darwin’s Madagascan hawk moth
was selected by several organizations as one of the top zoology
news stories of 1993. Dr. Kritsky curated the exhibit “Charles

Darwin: a Portrait Biography” in 1985; it has been on exhibit for
the past 27 years, including at the ESA meeting in Dallas and the
AAAS meeting in Los Angeles. It was exhibited for extended periods
at more than 20 museums, including the Museum of Comparative
Zoology at Harvard University, the Cincinnati Museum of Natural
History, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, and in Darwin’s
bedroom at Down House. It is currently on extended loan to the
University of Nebraska State Museum. In 2009, Dr. Kritsky curated
the exhibit “Darwin’s Revolution” for the Cincinnati Museum of
Natural History as part of the celebration of the bicentennial of
Darwin’s birth.
Charles Darwin
Although some may not think of Darwin as an entomologist, in fact,
he published numerous articles on insects, used entomological
examples to support his theories of species origin and sexual
selection, and made countless references to
insects in his books. Fifty years ago, the Annual
Review of Entomology featured an article
on Darwin’s contributions to entomology, in
which the authors noted that the Origin of
Species contains about 50 references to insects,
including Darwin’s own observations on the
similarity of British and Brazilian fresh water
insects, the importance of insects as pollinators
(a topic he later expounded on in his book, On
the Various Contrivances by which British and Foreign Orchids are
Fertilised by Insects), and the evolution of cellmaking in honey bees,
among other topics. The authors asserted that, “Darwin’s direct
contributions to entomology during his lifetime were outstanding,”
and added that his theory of evolution “has had a profound impact
on the direction of entomological research.” Darwin drew on insects
extensively for The Descent of Man and cited 85 entomologists
whose work encompassed the globe. In Insectivorous Plants, he
discussed the types of insects captured by the various plants. Darwin
also advanced research in the discipline by reviewing favorably and
encouraging the work of his entomological colleagues H. W. Bates,
Alfred Russel Wallace, and John Lubbock. A list of publications
resulting from the insects Darwin collected, including those from his
five-year voyage aboard the HMS Beagle, is available online.
Darwin’s interest in insects began when he was 10-years old and
noticed the insects along the English coast. By the time he entered
Christ College in Cambridge, he was an avid collector, hiring young
boys to procure specimens for his collection. He had a special
cabinet built to house his beetle collection and provided new
county records for James Francis Stephen’s Illustrations of British
Insects. He maintained a friendly but fierce competition for insect
collecting with his cousin, and collected with the Rev. Frederick
William Hope, who established the entomology professorship at
the University of Oxford. Darwin was a charter member of the
Entomological Society of London (later the Royal Entomological
Society) and was an honorary member of the Entomological Society
of France. He had direct contact (correspondence and/or personal
meetings) with previous ESA Founders’ honorees C. V. Riley, J. H.
Comstock, and B. D. Walsh.
Darwin continued this avid interest in collecting while traveling
around the world on the HMS Beagle. It was during this time that
Professor Hope wrote to Darwin that he had been named a charter
member of the newly formed Entomological Society of London.
Upon reading this, Darwin informed his cousin, “I look at the
Orange Cross [the society’s crest] as the emblem of Entomological
Knighthood.”
Upon his return to England, Darwin began to use insects as
evidence for his research on species. To verify his assumptions,
Darwin wrote to entomologists all over the world with questions
about species diversity, honey bee comb construction, insect–plant
associations, and insect sexual dimorphism. With the publication of
his On the Origin of Species in 1859, he included numerous insect
examples to support his views on ecological relationships, instincts,
and speciation. This work inspired entomologists like no other
work before or since. Henry Bates used it to develop his theory on
mimicry. Benjamin Walsh, the Founders’ Memorial Award honoree
for 1987, was a classmate of Darwin’s, and was inspired to apply
Darwin’s work to his own research. Walsh became one of Darwin’s
strongest allies in the 1860s and his greatest American proponent,
challenging Louis Agassiz at every opportunity.
Darwin’s impact on entomology in the United States grew during
the 1860s. Charles V. Riley, the second ESA Founders’ Memorial
Award honoree (honored in 1959), visited Darwin at his home
outside London. Riley peppered his annual reports with numerous
observations that supported Darwin’s views. The third Founders’
Memorial Award honoree, John H. Comstock (honored in 1960),
corresponded with Darwin and also sent Darwin his cotton
report. Darwin corresponded with many of the early American
entomologists, including Alpheus Packard and Samuel Scudder,
inviting the latter to visit him in England. Darwin’s influence on
many of the later Founders’ Memorial Award honorees can be
seen in their writings. Vernon Kellogg (honored in 1973) and
Herbert H. Ross (honored in 1981) wrote textbooks on evolutionary
biology. Robert E. Snodgrass (honored in 1969) and T. D. A.
Cockerell (honored in 1978) applied evolution to their work on
insect morphology and paleoentomology, respectively. Darwin’s
entomology was not limited to On the Origin of Species. His book On
the Various Contrivances by which British and Foreign Orchids are
Fertilised by Insects documented insect–plant coevolution, and The
Descent of Man included two chapters about sexual dimorphism in
insects. For Darwin, entomology was a global science, and American
entomologists are still feeling his impact today.
