Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- We describe the work with donated insect collections at the Swedish Museum of NaturalHistory (NRM) in Stockholm, Sweden. The museum receives donations yearly fromamateur entomologists, and they are an important contribution to the enrichment of thecollections. For the collector it is satisfying that a public institution takes on the long termresponsibility of safeguarding the scientific value in a collection, curating and making itavailable for study. Significant donations in the last years include that of Lars Huggert(Hymenoptera, Coleoptera), Hans Bartsch (Diptera) and Anders N. Nilsson (aquatic Coleoptera)to name a few. The curatorial and digitizing workload at the Entomology collectionare unfortunately not matched by staff funding, and as at other European museumsvolunteer work constitute vital and invaluable help. We acknowledge especially some ofthe volunteer work in the Coleoptera and Hymenoptera collections. Recently we have engagedwith amateur entomologists by organizing taxon-specific workshops at the museumwhich has stimulated exchange and collaboration. The Hymenoptera-day was visited by 30participants, and the Diptera-meeting by 49. As an example of what happens with a donationonce it reaches the museum, we describe the work with a recent Coleoptera collectiondonation by Jan Olsson, Vallentuna. A few highlights from the unidentified material,including the Archostematan beetle Priacma serrata (Cupedidae) and the false jewelbeetleSchizopus laetus (Schizopodidae), are presented as they were new to the NRM collections.We also bring attention to two new websites: www.naturarv.se is the webportal presentingdigitized material in Swedish natural history collections. Both metadata on specimens andphotos are made searchable here. We also launch a new webpage at www.nrm.se/insektsdonationerwhere we write about new donations to the Entomology collections, with JanOlsson’s Coleoptera collection first out.

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- En regnig och blåsig höstdag den 13 november1916 invigde kung Gustav V Naturhistoriskariksmuseets nya lokaler i Frescati, en monumentalbyggnad på granitsockel med mörkt rött tegeli fasaderna (Fig. 1). Den fantastiska kupolenmed sitt koppartak och glas har nyligen genomgripanderenoverats och framträder i skick somnytt. I kupolen var det tänkt att en Foucault´spendel skulle hänga. Diskussioner om pendelnhar nyligen åter initierats av Riksmusei vänner.De rikliga utsmyckningarna är värda att tittaefter. De flesta missar nog tyvärr de två bamsigabjörnungarna som pryder entrén från stora vägennär museet fått nya infarter. Samma år utkom boken”Naturhistoriska riksmuseets historia, Dessuppkomst och utveckling” utgiven av KungligaVetenskapsakademien. Boken kan sägas varasamlingarnas historia. Där beskrivs hur museetär årsbarn med Vetenskapsakademien, som närden grundades 1739 av bl. a. Linné också inrättadeett skåp för naturalier. Av den anledningenfirade Naturhistoriska riksmuseet sitt 250 års jubileummed pompa och ståt år 1989.Mindre än ett decennium efter att NaturhistoriskaRiksmuseet flyttade till Frescati, år 1925,bildades föreningen Riksmusei Vänner somstödjer museet på många olika vis. Vi vill medden här artikeln dels informera om föreningenoch uppmuntra till medlemsskap, dels beskrivaföreningens koppling till svensk entomologi ochsärskilt Renè Malaise.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A brief history of entomology at the Swedish Museum of Natural History for the period 1915-1923 is presented in chronicle form. The time circumscription has its background in a recent 100th anniversary of the current museum building, for which there was work on an anniversary book, which has not appeared, and this is based on a contribution originally intended for that book. It concerns primarily the Entomology department (which ended as a unit in 2013 when it was part of a fusion into a Zoology department) but also includes the Entomological Society of Stockholm to the extent it has been based at the museum, as well as insect-related work in other museum departments. The chronicle gives plenty of examples of research and researchers, other staff and routines, collection growth and management, collecting expeditions and publications, work environment issues and everyday life at the department.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Swedish entomologist, Karl-Johan Hedqvist (1917–2009) described 261 species of insects, 260 speciesof Hymenoptera and one of Coleoptera, plus 72 genera and a small number of family-level taxa. Thesetaxa are catalogued and the current depositories of the types are listed, as well as some brief notes on thehistory of the Hedqvist collection. We also discuss some issues that can arise when type-rich specimencollections are put on the commercial market.

Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Signe Ramberg var den första kvinnliga professionella entomologen i Sverige. Som extremt flitig preparator på Naturhistoriska riksmuseet under flera decennier spelade hon en imponerande stor och svåröverskådlig roll för uppbyggnaden av museets insektssamling.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The question of who can be considered Sweden’s first female entomologist is not easy toanswer and depends a lot on criteria; here it leads to a more general survey of women in Swedish entomology. Several persons who are candidates for being considered entomologist pioneers are presented, and the conditions for women to engage in entomology are briefly discussed. Such candidates include the following persons. Queen Lovisa Ulrika, Linnaeus’ benefactor, had an insect collection. The first female member of the Entomological Society in Stockholm was Signe Nordenskjöld in 1892. While Cecilia Andersson seems to be the first independent, active female insect collector in Sweden, in the early 20th century. Ida Trotzig collected Lepidoptera in Japan for the Stockholm museum. At that time, preparator Signe Ramberg and illustrator Therese Ekblom at the Stockholm museum were the first female professional entomologists. Only later, the entomological societies included somewhat larger number of female entomologists, and the first woman to get a PhD in entomology in Sweden was Christine Dahl, who also became the first female entomologist full professor.

Saproxylic Hymenoptera in dead wood retained on clear cuts, relation to wood parameters and their degree of specialisation

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Intensive forestry is a threat to biodiversity, and therefore actions are made to mitigate this loss. The actions are, however, designed based on available knowledge about the requirements of species, and for saproxylic insects this concerns mainly Coleoptera, while the diverse but poorly known Hymenoptera has contributed less. In this paper we therefore asked whether the substrate requirements of Hymenoptera (divided as parasitoids and non-parasitoids) are similar to those of Coleoptera and Diptera. We used an insect material reared from logging residue wood for the comparison. Theoretically parasitoid Hyme- noptera should be less specialised than Coleoptera and other host species as they belong to a higher trophic level. However, we found no such difference and even an opposite trend, that parasitoids were more specialised than beetles. Parasitoids had significantly more species in newly dead wood of fine diameter (1–4 cm, compared to coarse wood of 8–15 cm) compared to other groups. This is probably due to that many of them have bark beetles as hosts. The non-parasitoids were less specialised than the other groups and more confined to old wood (4–5 years), which is in line with that many of them are aculeate wasps building nests in emergence holes from other insects.Implications for insect conservation The habitat requirements of Hymenoptera suggest that the conservation actions designed for the well known groups are also applicable for them. The parasitoids’ association to trivial substrates (fine wood) sug- gest a good supply of breeding habitat, whereas their high specialisation in combination with higher trophic level suggest they contain an even higher proportion of threatened species than Coleoptera. How this is traded off needs further studies.

An interactive key to the European genera of Campopleginae (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) and 20 new species for Sweden
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Entomologisk Tidskrift. - Björnlunda, Sweden. - 0013-886X. ; 143, s. 121-156
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Darwin wasps of the subfamily Campopleginae are among the most poorly studied insect groups, which is to a large part due to inadequate identification tools. The currently 835 European species are classified into 42 genera, some of a somewhat unclear delimitation, and are very hard to identify using the incomplete, scattered and often poorly illustrated literature. We here assess different character systems for genus identification and provide an interactive, dynamic online key to the European genera. We apply this key to identify 3,500 specimens of the Swedish Malaise Trap Project to genus level. We then chose ten comparatively small genera for species-level identification, reporting a total of 37 species, 20 of which are new records for Sweden. The large number of species only found in a single trap location indicates that a lot remains to be discovered, even in an otherwise well-known fauna such as Sweden’s.
