Research Interests

Research interests

  1. The entomofauna of Israel , especially Diptera.
  2. The Afrotropical Tephritidae (in particular Schistopterini, Myopitini, Adramini, and others).
  3. Various Acalyptrate taxa (Diptera), such as Carnidae and Asteiidae, on a world-wide basis.

 

The future

Amnon believes that the main tasks for the future are the following, in a more or less decreasing order of importance (much of this relies on the establishment in TAU of a National Museum of Natural History, which is in the making):

  1. Developing the collection of Israeli insects by:

A. Continuing and augmenting the collecting efforts, with special attention to hitherto neglected groups (such as moths and parasitic wasps).

B. Acquiring "stray" Israeli collections, such as private and institutional collections that are under threat of demolition.

C. Catering for experts who will identify the collection and publish papers based on it.

D. Catering for students who will conduct faunistic surveys of particular groups.

  1. Find a better and proper housing for the National Collection of Insects.
  2. Develop databases for the collection, including a type collection and catalog (started).
  3. Increase the relationships with the general public, such as through popular lectures, participation in "knowledge centers", preparation of exhibits and the establishment of an insect zoo.
