Insect Viruses

Stages in the development of viruses of two Hymenopterous insects, Diprion hercyniae (Htg.) and Neodiprion americanus banksianae Roh., are shown in electron micrographs of thin sections. Following swelling of the nuclei and nucleoli and coagulation of the chromatin, rod-shaped virus particles appear chiefly on the exposed surfaces of the chromatin. The chromatin of D. hercyniae often coagulates into separate lumps that suggest small polyhedra. These first produce rod-shaped particles on their exposed surfaces and later transform into recognizable polyhedra. The chromatin of N. a. banksianae is more uniformly dispersed, and polyhedra arise as thickenings within the chromatin. In the latter insect, virus particles are frequently observed within the developing polyhedra, suggesting that polyhedra are formed by the accumulation of protein around groups of virus particles. Both polyhedra and free virus particles are larger and denser in the nuclear sap than in the chromatin. Their formation continues in remnants of chromatin in nuclei otherwise filled with large polyhedra. An incidental observation is that the nuclear membranes of some nuclei are pitted with small holes.

Australian Science

Conservation science has a long history of providing the evidence-base that underpins management of diverse and unique biota and landscapes. This special issue brings together the stories of a range of women in conservation science to showcase the great work being done to develop and improve our knowledge and understanding of Australian plants, animals and ecosystems, across a range of disciplines and sectors. We focus on Australia in recognition of recent commitments by Australian institutions to achieve gender parity in Australian science, while acknowledging the achievements of women in conservation science globally. In this overview we highlight several exemplary women who have paved the way for those of us who have come after them, and present a brief snapshot of the careers of these women to acknowledge their contributions to the development of conservation science, and its associated disciplines. We also distil some common themes that have been identified by the women in the articles featured in this special issue, particularly passion and enthusiasm for the natural environment; multiple pathways that women have taken; satisfaction derived from working collaboratively across disciplines and with a variety of scientists, policy, managers and practitioners; and seeking to embrace diversity. A striking point from many of the stories, that we hope is changing now, is that many of the women had few female role models, yet the stories highlight their resilience and determination and their desire to inspire other young women to take up the challenge of a career in conservation science.

Insect Viruses

Insect viruses have been used effectively to control pest species of insects. While viruses from several families have been used, members of the Baculoviridae have proven most successful. The successful viruses are mentioned and a brief introduc­tion into insect virus identification is followed by sufficient detail to differentiate between the major groups of viruses which have been used as field control agents. References are minimised to recent key articles on all the families of viruses found in insects.
