Abstract
Entomologists in New Zealand and from around the world will be deeply saddened by the recent death of Dr Rowan Emberson. Rowan will be remembered as a very special academic who was free of personal ambition. This modesty meant that he was always interested in others, focusing his energy on the personal well-being of his post-graduate students and colleagues. He was always willing to help when things got difficult. He has left a number of lasting legacies: his publications; the Entomology Research Collection (LUNZ); and, through his dedicated teaching, a greater awareness of the importance of taxonomy across a wide range of sectors. Rowan was a splendid colleague and mentor who enriched the lives of many by sharing his extensive knowledge of entomology and New Zealand’s natural history. His enthusiasm and curiosity were infectious. Through an accident of the Second World War, Rowan was born in Palestine in 1941. Sometimes this made crossing international borders difficult, especially into the United States. Rowan crossed
期刊介绍:
The invertebrate diversity of New Zealand is of great interest worldwide because of its geographic isolation and geological history. The New Zealand Entomologist plays an important role in disseminating information on field-based, experimental, and theoretical research.
The New Zealand Entomologist publishes original research papers, review papers and short communications. We welcome submissions in all aspects of science regarding insects and arthropods in a New Zealand or Australasian setting. The journal’s subject matter encompasses taxonomy, phylogenetics, biogeography, biological control and pest management, conservation, ecology and natural history.
The journal is the official publication of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. Papers published or submitted elsewhere for publication will not be considered, but publication of an abstract or summary elsewhere (e.g. conference proceedings) does not preclude full publication in the New Zealand Entomologist. Accepted papers become copyright of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. The journal is published in English, but we also welcome publication of abstracts in Maori.
