Reference excerpt

Miscellanea Entomologica was a French entomological scientific journal. It was originally published by Eugène Barthe and established in 1892.

Beginning The first issue of Miscellanea Entomologica was published in a larger format (24 x 36 cm), but immediately the following ones were smaller (18 x 24 cm). The first year was published both in French and in German. The first issues consisted mainly of capture notes and announcements for the sale or exchange of insects.

History

There were 3 different publishers:

Eugène Barthe (1892-1940) When Barthe started Miscellanea Entomologica, he was 30. He had a great deal of difficulty finding enough subscribers to pay the costs of production and expedition- but 30 years later the publication was one of the most important in Europe. The main works published were on Coleoptera. The field of study was insects of France, the Rhine Valley with Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands. The publication included the magazine and many supplements published as irregular leaflets of 8 or 16 pages. A list of everything that appeared was compiled by G. Bernardi and O. Fabre (published as Le Moult & Bernardi). Later, another list was produced to help recognize leaflets published by Miscellanea Entomologica.

Eugène Le Moult (1943-1956) In 1943, Le Moult continued the publication with the development of numerous articles on Lepidoptera. Thus were published many works by Georges Bernardi and Marcel Caruel, while Breuning published works on European Lamiinae. The last volume published by Le Moult was #48 in 1956.

Sciences Nat (1982-1988) In 1982 Sciences Nat restarted the journal and published volumes 49 to 51. The publication committee was composed of eminent entomologists: Georges Bernardi, Philippe Darge, Jean Darnaud, Claude Herbulot and Léon Schaefer. Colour plates were included in each volume. The circulation was about 300 copies.

Supplements Barthe published under his own name one of the best books on European Coleoptera under the title "Faune Franco-Rhénane", which covers several families. Other authors wrote on the same subject: M. des Gozis, Dr. Auzat, H. du Buysson (Elateridae). Le Moult published the big book by Léon Schaefer on the Buprestidae of France and his work on Apatura.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Miscellanea Entomologica

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Miscellanea Entomologica claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Miscellanea Entomologica before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Miscellanea Entomologica ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Miscellanea Entomologica

In research: Miscellanea Entomologica appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Miscellanea Entomologica in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Miscellanea Entomologica is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Entomology journals, French-language journals, Monthly journals, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Miscellanea Entomologica outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
