Figure 12.3 Utetheisa ornatrix that were offered to the orb-weaving spider Nephila clavipes. The specimen on the right, rejected intact, was raised on one of its normal, pyrrolizidine alkaloid-containing food plants (Crotalaria mucronata). The one on the left, raised on an artificial diet devoid of alkaloid, was eaten. See also Figure 12.4. (From Eisner, 1982. American Institute of Biological Science.)...

Figure 5.4. The Nitrogen Saturation Hypothesis (from Aber et al. 1989 1998, reprinted with permission, copyright American Institute of Biological Sciences), a conceptual model of terrestrial ecosystem responses to chronically elevated nitrogen (N) deposition. This model identifies four stages of ecosystem response to N loading. Soil responses are shown in the upper panel, and plant responses in the lower panel. See text for discussion...

Carbon to nitrogen ratios (C N) in the forest floor in relation to nitrogen deposition estimates in hardwood (R =0.19, P<0.001) and conifer (R =0.27, P<0.001) forests, showing different trends for hardwood and conifer stands (hardwood stands, R =0.19, P<0.001 conifer stands).

The American Institute of Biological Sciences compiled membership data on U.S. biological societies, e.g., AIBS Bulletin, Vol. 1 (January 1951), p. 10. The largest societies were in applied subjects the Society of American Foresters (6500 members), the Society of American Bacteriologists (4800), the American Dairy Science Association (2700) and the American Association of Economic Entomologists (2500). Of the 43 organizations listed, 24 reported memberships higher than the SSZ. 

This was because the field of taxonomy never had been united, and there were already two dozen specialty societies. .. A program to invite affiliation of these societies was planned but never really got started. At about this time, the American Institute of Biological Sciences [AIBS] was formed. .. and it appeared that his function of affiliation might be better handled there. In time, it became obvious that the [AIBS] could not enlist the taxonomic societies of zoology, but by this time the plan had been dropped by the SSZ. (Blackwelder, 1979 158-159)...

To demonstrate the effectiveness of pheromones required data on reduction in crop damage or reduction in mating frequency among a wild population because they do not kill insects and are intended to suppress population by interference with mating communication. Experimental recommendations to demonstrate pheromone efficacy have appeared in a report of a Task Group sponsored by the American Institute of Biological Sciences. (15)...
