Record 3 2016-03-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Insects, Centipedes, Spiders, and Scorpions
Universal entry(ies)
Graphium marcellus
Latin
Papilio marcellus
Latin, obsolete
OBS

[A butterfly of approximately] 3. 75-4. 5 inches [in length]. Range : western Ontario, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, through central Florida and Gulf States of the U. S. Appearance : great seasonal variation. In the Spring, specimens are small, with short wings, short tails, and restricted dark and extensive light markings. Later spring specimens are larger with longer wings and darker markings with more white on the tail-tips. Larvae are cannibalistic with a pea green appearance interspersed with narrow yellow and black crossbands.

OBS

There are several genera in the Papilionidae family of butterflies, including Limenitis, Vanessa, Nymphalis, Polygonia and Papilio. Moreover, all swallowtails (common name for the P. family) belong to the Papilionidae family, but not all species with names starting with the Latin "Papilio" (Latin generic name for a genus within the family) are necessarily zebra swallowtails (common name for one species within the Papilio genus).

OBS

In the Latin name "Papilio marcellus Cramer", "Papilio" is the name of the genus and is always capitalized. The specific element "marcellus", sometimes used elliptically as a synonym for "Papilio marcellus", is never capitalized. "Cramer" is the name of the scientist who gave "Papilio marcellus" its name. Often this name is abbreviated (e.g. C.) However, since this element is not terminologically significant, it may be left out.

OBS

Il s'agit du porte-queue (ou queue d'hirondelle) Graphium marcellus. Le terme «porte-queue zebré» a été proposé par M. Jean-François Landry, chercheur scientifique, Agriculture Canada, qui ajoute qu'il n'y a pas d'équivalent officiel pour les noms populaires d'insectes en français, d'où les autres équivalents possibles.

OBS

Il est possible d'écrire les noms d'insectes anglais ou français sans majuscules (sauf noms propres), mais il est beaucoup plus courant de les voir en majuscules.

Record 6 1998-06-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Algae
  • Water Pollution
DEF

Microscopic plants usually existing in suspension in the upper few feet of water often reaching bloom proportions making the water appear brownish or pea soup green. The natural die-off of this form can cause summer fish kills due to depletion of dissolved oxygen. Some species are known to be toxic to livestock, wildlife, and man or impart odor and taste problems.

Key term(s)
  • planktonic alga
  • surface dwelling alga

French

Domaine(s)
  • Algues
  • Pollution de l'eau
CONT

Les phosphates présents dans certaines lessives nécessitent des traitements spéciaux de déphosphatation. Peu de villes sont équipées d'installations adaptées. Ils rejoignent donc directement les plans d'eau où ils provoquent l'eutrophisation : devant un apport important de phosphates, les algues planctoniques qui s'en nourrissent forment un épais tapis vert à la surface de l'eau, privant ainsi les autres habitants des rivières de la lumière et de l'oxygène.

Key term(s)
  • algue planctonique
