Chapter 1
1.1 Introduction
The Antarctic continent and the Southern Ocean are influential components
of the Earth System. Central to the understanding of global climate change
(including increases in temperature, precipitation and ocean pH) is an appre-
ciation of how the Antarctic Ice Sheet interacts with climate, especially dur-
ing times of rapid change. To comprehend the rates, mechanisms and impact
of the processes involved, one must look into the geological record for evi-
dence of past changes, on time scales from centuries and up to millions of
years. For several decades, international efforts have been made to determine
the glacial, tectonic and climate history of Antarctica and the Southern
Ocean. Much of this information derives from studies of sedimentary
sequences, drilled and correlated via seismic reflection data in and around
the continent (e.g., Cooper et al., 2009). In addition, there have been numerous
terrestrial geological expeditions to the mountains exposed above the ice,
usually close to the margin of the ice sheet (e.g., GANOVEX expeditions).
Holistic interpretation of these data is now being made, and new challenging
hypotheses on the size and timing of past changes in Antarctica are being
developed.
In 2004 the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR)
commissioned a scientific research programme on Antarctic Climate
Evolution (ACE) to quantify the glacial and climate history of Antarctica by
linking climate and ice sheet modelling studies with terrestrial and marine
geological and geophysical evidence of past changes. ACE grew out of the
ANTOSTRAT (ANTarctic Offshore STRATigraphy) project, which was
The following Hymenoptera appear new to me in the French fauna. I append their
description:—
Under part of the body, black; feet entirely of rusty yellow colour; wings slightly
bronzed at tip. Female. Male unknown to me.
Length—7–9 millimetres. Black, closely and strongly punctured; clypeus flat; face
covered with a fine silvery pubescence; [318]a narrow yellow band on each side, on
the inner edge of the eyes; mandibles—yellow with brown tips; antennæ—black
above, pale red below; lower face of their basal joint, yellow. Two small distant
points on the prothorax; scales of wings and postscutellum, yellow. A yellow band
on third segment of the abdomen, and another on the fifth; these two are deeply
hollowed on the anterior edge—the first in a semicircle, the second in a triangle.
Under part of the body all black; coxæ black; thighs of the hinder pair of legs quite
black; those of the two anterior pairs, black at base, yellow at the ends; legs and
tarsi, yellow; wings rather smoke-coloured. Female.—Var. (1) Prothorax without
yellow dots; (2) two small yellow dots on second segment of abdomen; (3) wider
yellow band on inner side of the eyes; (4) front of clypeus edged with yellow.
Male unknown to me. This Cerceris, the smallest of my part of France, feeds its
larvæ on the smallest kinds of weevils (Bruchus granarius and Apion gravidum).
Observed round Carpentras, where it builds in September in soft sandstone—
locally called safre.
Length—18–20 millimetres. Black, with bristling whitish hairs on head, thorax, and
base of first segment of the abdomen; labrum lengthened, yellow; clypeus, with a
sloping ridge, forming as it were an angle of three sides—one face—that of the
outer edge—is all yellow, while each of the two others is marked with a large
rectangular black patch bordering on its neighbour, and thus forming a stripe; both
marks, as well as the cheeks, are covered with a fine silvery down; cheeks on line
between the antennæ, yellow; posterior edge of eyes with a long yellow border;
mandibles—yellow, with brown tips; two first joints of antennæ yellow beneath,
black above, the rest black; prothorax—black; sides and dorsal division, yellow;
mesothorax—black; the callous point, and a small one on each side above the
base of the intermediate feet, yellow; metathorax—black, with two yellow dots
behind, and a larger one on each side above the base of the hind feet. The two
first dots are sometimes wanting.
Abdomen—bright black above and without hairs, except at [319]the base of the first
segment, which bristles with whitish ones. All the segments have a wavy
transverse band, wider on the sides than in the middle, and approaching the
posterior edge in proportion as the segment is further back. On the fifth segment
the yellow band reaches the posterior edge. Anal segment—yellow, black at the
base, bristling all over the dorsal surface with papillæ of a rusty red, which serve
as base to the hairs. A row of like hair-bearing tubercules occupies also the
posterior edge of the fifth segment. Below, the abdomen is a brilliant black, with a
triangular yellow mark on each side of the four intermediate segments.
Coxæ—black; thighs yellow in front, black behind; legs and tarsi—yellow; wings
transparent.
Male.—The zig-zag mark on the clypeus is narrower, or even absent; face then
entirely yellow; abdominal bands very pale yellow, almost white. The sixth
segment has a band like the preceding ones, but shorter and often reduced to two
dots. The second segment has underneath it a longitudinal keel, raised and spine-
shaped behind. The anal one has below it an angular, rather thick projection.
Otherwise like the female.
I wish these three Hymenoptera to bear the name of my son Jules, to whom I
dedicate them.
Dear child! snatched so early from thy passionate love of flowers and insects!
Thou wert my fellow-worker; nothing escaped thy clear-sighted glance; it was for
thee that I was to write this book—for thee, to whom its recital gave such delight,
and thou wert one day to have continued it. Alas! thou didst leave us for a better
home, having heard but the first few lines of the book. But at least let thy name
appear in it—borne by some of these industrious and beauteous Hymenoptera so
dear to thee!
