Contributor notes
Contributor André Larochelle was born and educated in Québec, graduating in 1974 with a Brevet d'Enseignement spécialisé from the Université du Québec à Montréal. Up to 1990 he taught ecology at the Collège Bourget, Rigaud, Québec. Early in his career, with the encouragement of the late carabid specialist Carl H. Lindroth, André became interested in the study of ground-beetles. From 1975 to 1979 he was the co-editor of two entomological journals, Cordulia and Bulletin d'inventaire des insectes du Québec. Between 1986 and 1992 he was honorary curator to the Lyman Entomological Museum and Research Laboratory, McGill University, Québec. In 1992, André moved to New Zealand to work as a research scientist. Currently, he is also honorary curator to the New Zealand Arthropod Collection, Auckland. André has authored over 400 papers on the distribution, ecology, biology, and dispersal power of North American insects, mostly carabids. In 1993 he co-authored a Catalogue of Carabidae of America north of Mexico. André, with the collaboration of his wife Marie-Claude, hopes to soon publish a natural history of North American carabids. Presently, his main research interest is the faunistics and taxonomy of New Zealand ground-beetles.
Contributor Marie-Claude Larivière was born and educated in Québec, graduating with a Ph.D. in systematic entomology from McGill University in 1990. For the following two years she did postdoctoral research at Agriculture Canada, Ottawa. In 1992, Marie-Claude moved to New Zealand to work as a research scientist for Landcare Research. In 1994, she became Research Leader of the Biosystematics of New Zealand Land Invertebrates programme which she led until late 1997. Marie-Claude currently enjoys a full-time research position as a biosystematist with Landcare Research, which also includes curatorial responsibilities for Hemiptera (excluding Sternorrhyncha) at the New Zealand Arthropod Collection. Marie-Claude has authored over 65 papers and monographs, including two Fauna of New Zealand contributions, on the biosystematics of various families of bugs, including faunal and ecological aspects. She has also published on Orthoptera and contributed to publications on Carabidae (Coleoptera). Marie-Claude has a keen interest in bioinformatics, especially digital taxonomy, computer imaging, interactive identification, and web publishing.
I whānau mai tētahi o ngā kaituhi, a André Larochelle, i Quebec. I reira ia e kura ana, ā, nō te tau 1974 ka whakawhiwhia ki tana tohu Brevet d'Enseignement spécialisé, mai i te Whare Wānanga o Quebec ki Montreal. Taka mai ki te tau 1990, e whakaako ana ia i te mātauranga taupuhi kaiao i te Kura Bourget, i Rigaud, Quebec. Kāore i roa e whakaako ana, ka tupu tana hiahia ki te rangahau pītara noho papa, me te akiaki anō a tērā tohunga carabid kua riro nei i te tirohanga kanohi, a Carl H. Lindroth, i tēnei whakaaro ōna. Mai i te 1975 ki te 1979 ko ia tētahi o ngā ētita o ētahi hautaka mātai pepeke, arā, o Cordulia me te Bulletin d'inventaire des insectes du Quebec. Mai i te 1986 ki te 1992, ko ia te kaitiaki utu-kore o te Whare Rokiroki, Rangahau Pepeke o Lyman, i te Whare Wānanga o McGill, i Quebec. I te tau 1992, ka neke mai a Andre ki Aotearoa, ka mahi hei kaipūtaiao rangahau. I tēnei wā, ko ia te kaitiaki utu-kore o te Kohinga Angawaho o Aotearoa, i Tāmaki-makau-rau. He nui ake i te 400 ngā kōrero kua tuhia e Andre mō te tohanga, te taupuhi kaiao, te koiora, me te tītaringa o ngā aitanga pepeke o Amerika ki te Raki, otirā me te aro nui ki ngā carabid. I te tau 1993 ko ia tētahi o ngā kaituhi i te Rārangi o ngā Carabidae o Amerika ki te raki o Mēhiko. Ko te tūmanako o Andre rāua ko tana wahine, a Marie-Claude, kia whakaputaina ā tōna wā tūtata te hītori māori o ngā carabid o Amerika ki te Raki. Ko te aronga nui o ana rangahau i tēnei wā, ko te āhua me te whakarōpūtanga o te whānau pītara noho papa o Aotearoa.
I whānau mai tērā atu kaituhi, a Marie-Claude Larivière i Quebec. I reira anō ia a rapu ana i te mātauranga ā, riro noa i a ia tana Tohu Tākutatanga mai i te Whare Wānanga o McGill, i te tau 1990. Ko te kaupapa o tana tohu, ko te pūnaha whakarōpū i ngā aitanga a Punga. Kātahi ia ka neke ki Agriculture Canada, i Ottawa, mō te rua tau, ki reira whātoro ai i ētahi atu rangahautanga. Nō te tau 1992, ka neke mai a Marie-Claude ki Aotearoa, ka mahi hei kaipūtaiao rangahau mā Manaaki Whenua. Nō muri, ka riro i a ia te tūranga Kaihautū Mahi Rangahau i raro i te kaupapa e kīia nei ko te "Biosystemaics of New Zealand Land Invertebrates". Nāna taua kaupapa i whakahaere i te tau 1994 ki te tau 1997. I ēnei rā, he tūranga kairangahau ukiuki tōna i Manaaki Whenua, he whakarōpū koiora te kaupapa matua. Arā anō tētahi o āna mahi ko te tiaki i ngā Hemiptera (hāunga anō ngā Sternorrhyncha) o roto i te Kohinga Angawaho o Aotearoa. Neke atu i te 65 ngā tuhinga kua oti i a Marie-Claude mō te whakapapa o ētahi whānau o ngā aitanga a Punga, tae atu ki ngā momo ka kitea i tēnā wāhi, i tēnā wāhi, me te āhua o tā rātou noho. Kua puta i a ia he tuhinga e pā ana ki te Orthoptera, kua whai wāhi atu hoki ki ētahi tānga kōrero e pā ana ki te Carabidae (Coleoptera). Tērā anō tētahi tino kaupapa e whāia ana e Marie-Claude, ko te pārongo-koiora, tae atu ki te whakarōpū ā-mati, te hanga whakaahua ki te rorohiko, me te pānui kōrero ki te pae tukutuku.
