Abstract:

Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood (greenhouse whitefly) are worldwide polyphagous pests of economic importance that damage solanaceous vegetables. Neonicotinoid pesticides and parasitoid Encarsia formmosa Gahan are the main management strategies applied worldwide, but precise control methods in greenhouse vegetables need to be developed to reduce the application amounts of pesticides and improve the suppression of whitefly populations. Therefore, we assessed the indoor acute toxicities and risk assessment of neonicotinoids for T. vaporariorum and E. formosa adults and pupae and compared the control effects of E. formosa and neonicotinoid acetamiprid. According to the acute toxicities results, most neonicotinoid insecticides were more toxic to E. formosa than T. vaporariorum, and pupae were much less susceptible than adults of both species. Moreover, acetamiprid had a low risk effect on E. formosa. Sole application of E. formosa and acetamiprid could effectively control T. vaporariorum, but their combined application resulted in antagonistic effects on the control of T. vaporariorum. The results showed that a combined application or sole use of E. formosa could reduce the use of insecticides, slow down the development of insecticide resistance in whiteflies, and improve the efficiency of controlling the growth of whitefly populations in greenhouse vegetable production.

Abstract:

A history of European Taiwan studies must mention a controversial man: George Psalmanazar. He not only claimed to be a native Formosan at meetings of the Royal Society but also published a book filled with his fictitious fantasy. This study suggests that Psalmanazar’s bold imposture encouraged the Royal Society to conduct a pioneering study of Formosa/Taiwan. Rather than rely on published travelogues to study remote places, the Royal Society found a qualified witness who had been to Formosa/Taiwan to offer reliable information. Based on Samuel Griffith’s testimony, the Royal Society agreed to reject Psalmanazar’s account. However, they remained silent in public and archived the conclusion against Psalmanazar. After the affair, Psalmanazar repented by providing correct information about Formosa/Taiwan in books that he was later involved with editing in the mid-eighteenth century. Thus, Psalmanazar was not only a catalyst of Formosa/Taiwan studies in Europe but also a researcher of the island.

Abstract:

Prior to the mid-nineteenth century, Formosa (now Taiwan) was little known to European and American travelers. To explore this terra incognita, plenty of Western explorers, navy investigators, merchants, and naturalist scientists visited Formosa after the opening of Ta-kau Port and Keelung Port for trade in 1860. These travellers made observations and documented the unknown landscapes and species in Formosa and its neighbouring islands. Mostly written in the form of travel journals and natural histories, the works of these Western visitors are pioneering multispecies ethnographies that delineate nineteenth-century Formosa’s flora, birds, land animals and marine animals. This essay focuses on the life accounts and natural histories of an English traveller in this period — Cuthbert Collingwood (1826-1908). It explores the ways Collingwood’s Rambles of a Naturalist on the Shores and Waters of the China Sea represents Formosan marine animals and their habitats. It addresses the following questions: How did Collingwood introduce his readers to understanding marine animals in mid-nineteenth-century Formosa and how did he report his scientific observations on the lives of Formosa’s oceanic species? Did Collingwood evince his appreciation for marine species or express an environmentalist tone? How might Collingwood’s delineation of Formosa’s marine animals reveal an environmental consciousness and proto-ecological sensibilities?

Abstract:

The history of Dutch Protestant missionaries Formosa in the seventeenth century made a great contribution to the Christian spread in Asia. The beginning of the 1620s was the starting point of the establishment of the churches in Formosa. This study focuses on the Christian conversion in Formosa, which is based on the Dutch published archives and current research. The research aims to describe the process of Christian propagation in this area. Methodologically, the book “The Formosan Encounter. Notes on Formosa’s Aboriginal Society: A Selection of Documents from Dutch Archival Sources, I: 1623-1635; II: 1636-1645; and III: 1646-1654 that published in two languages, Dutch, and English” will be used as the main source in which qualitative approach is used to collect the primary and secondary data for analyzing this article. As a result, this research comes to the following conclusions, such as the missionaries used the educational method as a foundation for propagation and the result of giving the education was opposed by the Formosan’s old religion.

Abstract:

AbstractThe all-female fish Poecilia formosa uses sperm of Poecilia latipinna or P. mexicana for its gynogenetic reproduction. Normally, P. formosa lives in sympatry with only one of these species. Near Tampico, Mexico, one population of P. formosa is living in sympatry with both sperm-donor species. In the present study, using animated videos as stimuli, we examined whether P. formosa from Tampico show a sexual preference for males of one of the two species. We raised P. formosa females with males of P. latipinna or P. mexicana only, and as a control with males of both species simultaneously. We found that previous experience affects mating preferences in P. formosa. Females tend to prefer males of the species they were raised with.

Abstract:

The assessment of acute toxicity to insect natural enemies is very important for insecticide selection used within integrated pest management (IPM). The acute toxicity of abamectin and imidacloprid against Encarsia formosa, a parasitoid of Bemisia tabaci, was investigated. Abamectin had a high toxicity risk to E. formosa, while imidacloprid showed a medium toxicity risk. When treated with the lethal concentration 30 (LC30) of abamectin, the dwelling time of E. formosa in B. tabaci infested-plant-area (IPA) was significantly lower than in non-infested plant areas (non-IPA). In addition, the frequency of E. formosa entering into the two areas was not significantly different in the LC10 and LC30 treatments. Within the IPA, LC10, and LC30 treatments decreased the dwelling time and entering frequency of parasitoid significantly. For imidacloprid treatments, E. formosa stayed a longer time in the non-IPA than in the IPA when treated with LC30. The frequency of E. formosa entering into the two areas was only slightly different in the LC1, LC10, and LC30 treatments. Within the IPA, LC10 and LC30 treatments were significantly decreased in the dwelling time and the entering frequency of E. formosa. The results indicate that abamectin and imidacloprid have high or medium acute toxicity against E. formosa and a negative sublethal effect on its searching behaviour.

Abstract:

abstract: This article approaches the oceanic locality of Taiwan through George Psalmanazar’s 1704 ethnography , An Historical and Geographical Description of Formosa . Psalmanazar was a Frenchman who tricked a large number of Londoners into believing him an Indigenous Formosan. In keeping with this special issue’s interest in situating the English imperial imagination in local oceanic spaces, this article shows how Psalmanazar presented Taiwan as subject to imperial domination by a variety of maritime powers, both Asian and European. Drawing on Laura Doyle’s recent theoretical formulation of inter-imperiality, the article argues that Psalmanazar’s view of Taiwan as subject to other empires could itself inspire the imperial imagination in England. The article concludes by pointing out that the project of unpacking these imperial histories has gained increasing urgency through Taiwan’s precarious position in the rapidly developing inter-imperial rivalry between China and the United States .

Abstract:

Abstract Encarsia formosa Gahan is an important endoparasitoid of the whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Gennadius. In the present study, we compared the fitness and population parameters of E. formosa when parasitizing the two most invasive and destructive whitefly species in China, the B and Q of B. tabaci. We also studied whether natal host influenced on parasitism and host-feeding capacities of E. formosa on B. tabaci B versus Q. Age–stage life table analysis indicated that E. formosa developmental duration was shorter, fecundity was higher, and longevity was greater on B. tabaci B than on Q. The life table parameters, including the intrinsic rate of increase (r), finite rate of increase (λ), net reproduction rate (R0), and the mean generation time (T), indicated that the fitness of E. formosa on B. tabaci B is higher than B. tabaci Q. We also found that the host species used to rear E. formosa affected the parasitoid’s subsequent parasitism and host feeding on B. tabaci B and Q. When E. formosa were reared on B. tabaci B, its subsequent parasitism rate on third-instar nymphs was significantly higher on B. tabaci B than on Q. These results will be useful for managing the biological control of B. tabaci in the field.

[ES] Resumen: Los manuscritos de Hernando de los Ríos Coronel, tanto para capturar y crear un asentamiento en Formosa, así como para buscar algún paso interoceánico por el norte del continente americano, se insertaron en las discusiones y transformaciones marítimo- comerciales, políticas y científicas de la época. La región no cambió, pero la percepción sobre ella sí lo hizo en función de los nuevos intereses que se generaron en la zona. Por ello los proyectos que consideraron a Formosa pasaron de asentamiento que sería el primer paso para la conquista de China a zona que aseguraría los tratos hechos con las costas niponas y finalmente para proteger dichos tratos de los crecientes ataques neerlandeses. Formosa fue relevante en el imaginario hispano, pero no como isla a capturar, sino como símbolo del entorno marítimo que su ocupación permitiría usar y proteger. Palabras clave: Hernando de los Ríos Coronel, la isla de Formosa, las Filipinas Hernando de los Ríos Coronel and the conquest of Formosa Island [EN] Abstract: The manuscripts of Hernando de los Ríos Coronel, both for capturing and establishing a settlement in Formosa and for searching for a potential interoceanic passage through the northern part of the American continent, were intertwined with the maritime, commercial, political, and scientific discussions and transformations of the time. While the region itself remained unchanged, the perception of it shifted according to the new interests that arose in the area. As a result, the projects concerning Formosa evolved from being viewed as a settlement that would serve as the first step towards the conquest of China, to a zone that would secure trade relations with the Japanese coasts, and ultimately to a means of protecting these relations from the increasing Dutch attacks. Formosa held significance in the Hispanic imagination, not as an island to be captured, but as a symbol of the maritime environment that its occupation would allow to be utilized and safeguarded.

Abstract:

We evaluated the hypothesis that the modified population density of Aquilegia formosa Fisch. ex DC. (Ranunculaceae) resulting from the introduction of Sitka black-tailed deer ( Odocoileus hemionus sitkensis ) in the Haida Gwaii archipelago affects the pollination and reproductive performance of this herbaceous species. We compared the population density, pollination, and reproductive success of A. formosa among three small islands colonized by deer and three deer-free islands. Islands with deer had a substantially lower absolute density and a greater relative density of A. formosa than deer-free islands. The presence of deer was associated with higher pollen deposition, which probably resulted from the greater relative density of A. formosa on islands with deer. However, the presence of deer had no significant effect on individual reproductive success. The latter result is likely a consequence of the lack of pollen limitation in this species, as well as of the conflicting relationship between the absolute and relative densities of A. formosa and the presence of deer.

Abstract:

Hand pollinations were used to investigate the timing of stigma receptivity and the breeding system of two commercial cut flower species, Dryandra quercifolia Meiss. and D. formosa R.Br. Stigmas of both species showed peak receptivity at 2–6 days post-anthesis, D. quercifolia was receptive immediately after anthesis while D. formosa showed little pollen tube germination until 2 days post-anthesis. Observation of fresh pistils with an environmental scanning electron microscope revealed the stigma of both species to be wet. For D. quercifolia, maximum groove dimensions and exudate area commenced at 3 days post-anthesis and continued until day 12. A different pattern was observed for D. formosa stigmas; maximum groove dimensions and exudate area were reached at 4 days post-anthesis and decreased thereafter. Both species showed overlap in the time of maximum observed pollen tube counts, groove openness and exudate area. These factors were consistently higher in D. quercifolia than in D. formosa. Exudate production was lower in pollinated than in unpollinated D. formosa stigmas. Pollen tube and seed set data indicate a mixed breeding system for both species, with self-pollination less favoured and often resulting in post-zygotic abortion of seeds. Dryandra formosa was more self-compatible than D. quercifolia.

While mitochondrial data alone could not resolve the phylogenetic position of N. formosa, nuclear data support a sister group relationship of N. formosa and the remaining Nilssonia species. Combined analyses of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA suggest the following branching pattern, with N. formosa as the sister taxon of the remaining species: N. formosa + ((N. gangetica + N. leithii) + (N. hurum + N. nigricans)). Among the samples we studied is the first record of N. formosa for Yunnan, China, and the first record of wild-living N. nigricans for Bangladesh. In N. gangetica, each of the studied major river basins harbours a genetically distinct population, suggesting that at least three distinct management units should be distinguished: (1) Brahmaputra River; (2) Indus and Ganges Rivers plus Ganges Delta; and (3) Mahanadi River.

Abstract:

A Gram-staining-negative, chemoheterotrophic, yellow-pigmented, gliding, catalase- and oxidase-positive, flexirubin-negative, strictly aerobic bacterium, designated strain IMCC9485T, was isolated from a seawater sample collected from the Arctic Ocean. Optimal growth of strain IMCC9485T was observed at 25 °C, pH 7–8 and in the presence of 1.5–2.5 % NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain IMCC9485T belonged to the genus Formosa and was closely related to Formosa algae KCTC 12364T (98.2 %) and Formosa agariphila KCTC 12365T (98.0 %). DNA–DNA relatedness between the new isolate and F. algae and F. agariphila was far lower than 70 %, which indicated that strain IMCC9485T is a novel genomic species of the genus Formosa . The major fatty acids (>10 %) were iso-C15 : 1G (13.7 %), C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c (13.4 %) and iso-C15 : 0 (12.3 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 37.6 mol%. Strain IMCC9485T contained menaquinone-6 (MK-6) as the respiratory quinone and phosphatidylethanolamine, unknown aminophospholipids and unknown polar lipids as polar lipid constituents. On the basis of phylogenetic analyses and differential phenotypic characteristics, it is suggested that strain IMCC9485T ( = KACC 17484T = KCCM 42937T = NBRC 106080T) be assigned to the genus Formosa as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Formosa arctica sp. nov. is proposed.

Abstract:

The Amazon Molly (Poecilia formosa) reproduces by gynogenesis, a relatively rare form of asexual reproduction where sperm is required to trigger embryogenesis, but male genes are not incorporated into the genome of the embryo. Studying gynogenesis could isolate paternal non-genetic effects on reproduction. This study explored which of eleven related species can produce sperm to trigger gynogenesis through natural mating in P. formosa, and whether sympatry affects reproductive success in P. formosa. Reproductive outcomes measured were relative reproductive output (number of offspring in the first brood divided by female standard length), relative embryo output (number of embryos in the first brood divided by female standard length) and combined relative reproductive output (sum of relative reproductive output and relative embryo output). For large (>4 cm) P. formosa, combined relative reproductive output was higher with sympatric Atlantic Molly (Poecilia mexicana) males than with allopatric P. mexicana males. P. formosa produced live offspring or late-stage embryos with all species tested in the genera Poecilia and Limia but did not produce offspring or embryos with males from the genera Gambusia, Girardinus, Heterandria, Poeciliopsis, or Xiphophorus. This information, as well as the limitations characterized in this study, will set a foundation for use of P. formosa as a model for paternal effects and the species specificity of sperm on fertilization, embryogenesis, and reproductive success.

Abstract:

A strain of Gram-staining-negative, aerobic, non-flagellated, non-gliding and rod-shaped bacteria, designated WS-MY3T, was isolated from a brown algae reservoir in South Korea. Strain WS-MY3T grew optimally at 25 °C, at pH 7.0–8.0 and in the presence of 2.0–3.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain WS-MY3T fell within the cluster comprising the type strains of species of the genus Formosa , clustering coherently with the type strains of Formosa agariphila and Formosa algae . It exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 98.7, 97.9 and 96.8 % to the type strains of F. agariphila, F. algae and Formosa spongicola , respectively. Strain WS-MY3T contained MK-6 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 3-OH, iso-C15 : 1 G and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c) as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids of strain WS-MY3T were phosphatidylethanolamine and two unidentified lipids. The DNA G+C content of strain WS-MY3T was 37.3 mol% and its DNA–DNA relatedness values with F. agariphila KCTC 12365T and F. algae KCTC 12364T were 23 % and 17 %, respectively. The phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness and differential phenotypic properties revealed that strain WS-MY3T is separate from the three recognized species of the genus Formosa . On the basis of the data presented, strain WS-MY3T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Formosa , for which the name Formosa undariae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is WS-MY3T ( = KCTC 32328T = CECT 8286T).

[ES] Resumen: Los manuscritos de Hernando de los Ríos Coronel, tanto para capturar y crear un asentamiento en Formosa, así como para buscar algún paso interoceánico por el norte del continente americano, se insertaron en las discusiones y transformaciones marítimo- comerciales, políticas y científicas de la época. La región no cambió, pero la percepción sobre ella sí lo hizo en función de los nuevos intereses que se generaron en la zona. Por ello los proyectos que consideraron a Formosa pasaron de asentamiento que sería el primer paso para la conquista de China a zona que aseguraría los tratos hechos con las costas niponas y finalmente para proteger dichos tratos de los crecientes ataques neerlandeses. Formosa fue relevante en el imaginario hispano, pero no como isla a capturar, sino como símbolo del entorno marítimo que su ocupación permitiría usar y proteger. Palabras clave: Hernando de los Ríos Coronel, la isla de Formosa, las Filipinas Between “emotion” and “reason”: a review of Cuban Chinese [EN] Abstract: The manuscripts of Hernando de los Ríos Coronel, both for capturing and establishing a settlement in Formosa and for searching for a potential interoceanic passage through the northern part of the American continent, were intertwined with the maritime, commercial, political, and scientific discussions and transformations of the time. While the region itself remained unchanged, the perception of it shifted according to the new interests that arose in the area. As a result, the projects concerning Formosa evolved from being viewed as a settlement that would serve as the first step towards the conquest of China, to a zone that would secure trade relations with the Japanese coasts, and ultimately to a means of protecting these relations from the increasing Dutch attacks. Formosa held significance in the Hispanic imagination, not as an island to be captured, but as a symbol of the maritime environment that its occupation would allow to be utilized and safeguarded.

Abstract:

A novel bacterium, designated strain PS13T, was isolated from marine sediment collected from the coast of Jeju Island. Strain PS13T was a Gram stain-negative, catalase- and oxidase-positive, aerobic, yellow-pigmented, motile by gliding, and rod-shaped bacterium. Strain PS13T grew optimally at 25 °C and pH 8.0 and in the presence of 3 % (w/v) NaCl. Results of phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain PS13T belonged to the genus Formosa and was closely related to Formosa algae KMM3553T (98.3 % sequence similarity). The DNA–DNA relatedness (17.3–21.8 %) and average nucleotide identity (83.6–84.6 %) values clearly indicated that strain PS13T represents a distinct species of the genus Formosa . The major fatty acids were C15 : 0 iso, C16 : 1 ω6c/C16 : 1 ω7c and C15 : 1 iso G. The genomic DNA G+C content of the strain PS13T was 32.2 mol%. On the basis of polyphasic characteristics, it is suggested that strain PS13T be assigned to the genus Formosa as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Formosa sediminum PS13T (=KCCM 43301T=CECT 9918T) sp. nov. is proposed.

Abstract:

Twenty-two rhizobia strains isolated from three distinct populations (North Ossetia, Dagestan, and Armenia) of a relict legume Vavilovia formosa were analysed to determine their position within Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae (Rlv). These bacteria are described as symbionts of four plant genera Pisum, Vicia, Lathyrus, and Lens from the Fabeae tribe, of which Vavilovia is considered to be closest to its last common ancestor (LCA). In contrast to biovar viciae, bacteria from Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii (Rlt) inoculate plants from the Trifolieae tribe. Comparison of house-keeping (hkg: 16S rRNA, glnII, gltA, and dnaK) and symbiotic (sym: nodA, nodC, nodD, and nifH) genes of the symbionts of V. formosa with those of other Rlv and Rlt strains reveals a significant group separation, which was most pronounced for sym genes. A remarkable feature of the strains isolated from V. formosa was the presence of the nodX gene, which was commonly found in Rlv strains isolated from Afghanistan pea genotypes. Tube testing of different strains on nine plant species, including all genera from the Fabeae tribe, demonstrated that the strains from V. formosa nodulated the same cross inoculation group as the other Rlv strains. Comparison of nucleotide similarity in sym genes suggested that their diversification within sym-biotypes of Rlv was elicited by host plants. Contrariwise, that of hkg genes could be caused by either local adaptation to soil niches or by genetic drift. Long-term ecological isolation, genetic separation, and the ancestral position of V. formosa suggested that symbionts of V. formosa could be responsible for preserving ancestral genotypes of the Rlv biovar.

Abstract:

AbstractThe plum curculio, Conotrachelus nenuphar (Herbst), is a serious pest of stone and pome fruits (Rosaceae) in eastern North America. We recorded captures of adult plum curculios in the field and measured electroantennogram (EAG) activity in the laboratory associated with cultivars of four hosts, ‘Formosa’ Japanese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.), ‘Stanley’ European plum (P. domestica L.), ‘Empire’ apple (Malus domestica Borkh.), and ‘Loring’ peach (P. persica (L.) Batsch) (Rosaceae) to determine whether hosts that may be attractive to the plum curculio under field conditions also elicit positive EAG responses. Trap captures of adults on ‘Formosa’ plum were significantly greater than on any other host, and corresponding headspace extracts also produced strong EAG responses throughout the active season. ‘Stanley’ plum and ‘Loring’ peach, the other stone-fruit hosts included in the study, elicited strong EAG responses throughout the season, although trap captures associated with these hosts were generally not as high as for ‘Formosa’ plum. Throughout the season, trap captures of adults were significantly lower for ‘Empire’ apple than for ‘Formosa’ plum, and EAG responses were much lower than for all stone-fruit hosts. Our results indicate that volatiles from ‘Formosa’ plum likely contain uniquecompounds or are comprised of ratios of stimulating compounds that make it much more attractive to plum curculio in the field.

Abstract:

In this study two pairs of primers based on mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (mtCOI) region and 28S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene region were used for identifying very tiny and morphologically indistinguishable parasitoid Encarsia formosa (Gahan) which are specific to this insect. The fragment amplified by these primer pairs were 860 and 650 bp in length. Species specificity test showed that all E. formosa specimens were detected with no cross reactions with other aphelinid species, including E. sophia (Girault & Dodd), E. luteola, E. Inaron and E. Nigricephala. Using phylogenetic cladogram by the sequences analysis of both mtCOI and 28S rRNA genes could be detected in E. formosa accurately in all replicates. Cardinium and Wolbachia secondary endosymbiont were also detected in E. Formosa used by PCR amplification as well as sequence analysis of 16S-23S rDNA gene region. The molecular technique developed here would be useful for rapid and precise species identification, determination of the host spectrum and more effective utilization of E. formosa.

Abstract:

自十九世紀以降，歐洲列強的帝國勢力快速擴張，此時美國的領土亦迅速擴張。西方列強仗著船堅砲利優勢在世界各處探尋自然物產和大地資源。歐美強權國家在海外殖民地的擴展為此時空催生了大量與旅行相關的書寫──亦即出自海軍探險者及軍艦成員、自然史科學家、海外商人、外交官等人的旅行書寫。在這段時空下，福爾摩沙早已成為西方列強眼中的肥羊。十九世紀以前，台灣鮮為人知。1860年，清廷因天津條約被迫開放打狗和基隆等港口，大批西方人士於是造訪福爾摩沙。此文聚焦於漢卡克、鼓里馬、禮密臣這三位十九世紀英美旅行者的自然史文本，探究他們如何為福爾摩沙這個神秘而詭譎的島嶼書寫自然史、如何為台灣的本土物種和自然資源做科學觀察與描述、如何在其充滿帝國主義動機的旅行自然史作品中交織夾雜了他們的初期環境意識與生態感知。藉此探討，此文填補自然書寫的拼圖缺塊，呈現十九世紀英美旅行者筆下的福爾摩沙自然史建構以及初期生態感知，同時為生態批評與自然書寫拓展新疆域。  Prior to the mid-nineteenth century, Formosa was little known and largely unexplored by English and American travelers. After the discovery of Formosan coal by Anglo-American navy explorers in 1847 and Formosa’s ports had been opened for trade by the Western Powers in 1860, a great number of Western explorers, navy investigators, naturalist scientists, merchants, and diplomats visited Formosa. Through their writings, these travelers documented the island’s unknown landscapes and natural resources, including heavy timber and forest trees. This paper focuses on the traveling natural histories of three nineteenth-century English and American travelers —William A. Hancock (1847-1914), and Francis Henry Hill Guillemard (1852-1933), and James Wheeler Davidson (1872-1933). It explores the historical and cultural underpinnings of natural resources in the island’s eco-geopolitical history and is interested to examine the ways these travel writings represented Formosa’s environmental productions (such as coal, sulphur, camphor). It addresses the following questions: What might be the links between nineteenth-century imperial motivations and representations of Formosa’s natural resources? How might the genre of natural history relate to imperial-colonial travel narratives and science narratives? How did Hancock, Guillemard, and Davidson report their scientific observations on Formosa’s natural productions? How might British and American imperial travel narratives reveal an environmental consciousness embedded in the history of colonial/imperial exploitation of Formosa’s natural resources?
