Scientists can provide expert opinions to government officials and their staff in this and other processes of establishing and enforcing governmental legislation, policies, and regulations, although such expertise is often underutilized. This is partly due to the paucity of scientists who have training to engage policymakers.To address this deficit, many scientific societies now provide organized training in science policy, including how to seek out opportunities to engage with policymakers. One such example is the Entomological Society of America's Science Policy Fellowship (ESA SPF) program. This article is written by ESA SPF members and discusses the importance of interfacing with policymakers, some challenges this group encountered, and lessons learned through our experiences in the program. Through efforts like this, we hope to inspire other scientists to engage their societies in advocacy work and make their voice heard.}, number={2}, journal={ANNALS OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA}, author={Elsensohn, Johanna E. and Anderson, Thomas and Cryan, Jason R. and Durham, Timothy and Gandhi, Kamal J.

Analysis of the combined sequence data provided a better-resolved and more robust hypothesis of membracid phylogeny than did separate analyses of the individual genes. Results support the monophyly of the family Membracidae and indicate the presence of two major lineages (Centrotinae + Stegaspidinae + Centrodontinae and Darninae + Membracinae + Smiliinae). Within Membracidae, molecular data support the following assertions: (1) the previously unplaced genera Antillotolania and Deiroderes form a monophyletic group with Microcentrini; (2) Centrodontini and Nessorhinini are monophyletic clades that arise independently from within the Centrotinae; (3) Centrotinae is paraphyletic with respect to Centrodontinae; (4) the subfamily Membracinae is monophyletic and possibly allied with the darnine tribe Cymbomorphini; (5) the subfamily Darninae is paraphyletic; (6) the subfamily Smiliinae is paraphyletic, with molecular evidence indicating the exclusion of Micrutalini and perhaps Acutalini and Ceresini; and (7) Membracidae arose and diversified in the New World with multiple subsequent colonizations of the Old World. Our phylogenetic results suggest that morphology-based classifications of the Membracidae need to be reevaluated in light of emerging molecular evidence.}, number={2}, journal={MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS AND EVOLUTION}, author={Cryan, JR and Wiegmann, BM and Deitz, LL and Dietrich, CH}, year={2000}, month={Nov}, pages={317–334} }

When larvae were fed a diet containing a low concentration (< 1 ppm) of lufenuron, mortality was observed during either larval or pupal development, depending on the dose. Survivor adults were unable to fly, probably due to abnormal cuticular development in the wing hinge regions of the thorax. Larvae fed a higher concentration (10 ppm) completed development within that instar, but died during ecdysis to the next instar, presumably due to inadequate cuticle synthesis. Third instar larvae pupariated, but the puparium was abnormal, and pupation did not occur. Adults fed 10 ppm showed normal viability but slightly depressed oogenesis; additionally, although their eggs were fertilized, they failed to hatch. Examination of the embryos showed that they completed development but were unable to perforate the surrounding vitelline membrane, probably due to a weakened chitinous mouth hook assembly that was insufficiently rigid to effect hatching. These results identify stages during D. melanogaster development when chitin synthesis and deposition are critical. This information will be useful for identifying chitin-synthesis mutants of this insect.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL ZOOLOGY}, author={Wilson, TG and Cryan, JR}, year={1997}, month={May}, pages={37–44} }
